Get woke – Go broke, strikes again. When you consider the scale of the company and the resources available to them on branding and marketing…. one can only come to the reasonable conclusion that Goodyear is run by idiots.
On the positive side, the boycott response -which I fully support, not because of the originating stupid, but rather because I do not want tires from amplified corporate stupid on my vehicles- just shows the scale of economic backlash from average Americans.
There are more of us than them; they just control the mechanisms that allow us to communicate with each other – nothing more. Remember that !
We at GrrrGraphics have been watching the virtual Democratic Convention extravaganza with a mixture of humor and disgust. We were disgusted that Andrew Cuomo smeared Trump as being ‘dysfunctional’ and ‘incompetent’ for COVID-19 in New York state–even though Cuomo has blood on his hands for bringing the virus to nursing homes.
We were amused that John Kasich chose an actual, literal crossroads location for his speech about our country being at a crossroads. We were disgusted that the Republican turncoat roasted Trump while praising Biden. Kasich has a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
We watched Crazy Bernie Sanders spew rote lie after lie about the president. The socialist, ‘progressive’ once again caved in to the political establishment. He supports Joe as eagerly as he supported Hillary. It was amusing to watch AOC briefly nominate the ‘cuck’ Bernie before joining his ranks and supporting Biden. The Republican Kasich was given more time than the DNC gave their rising star, Cortez.
Then we watched arch rapist Bill Clinton’s disgusting display of virtue signaling as he lectured Trump about a disorderly Oval Office. Everyone thought of how Bill ordered a very young intern to service him in said office. I’m sure it was orderly, but why the DNC would allow a man associated with the known pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein, to make such a speech underlines the hypocrisy and depravity of the Democrats. Joe is also accused of sexual assault and we’ve seen him too many times on camera sniffing women and children.
Michelle Obama was considered the star of the show. The lying fake news media gushed praised for the former First Lady. She again made the tired claim that she and her hubby were ‘taking the high road,’ and then she immediately took the low road. She accused Trump of emboldening white supremacists and putting the children of (illegal) immigrants in cages. Those cages were built under Obama’s reign, but no matter. Next we’ll get to hear her husband drag Trump into their disgusting mud, and we’ll address that in Part 2.
Joe Biden accepted the nomination, but his speech is yet to come. It should be amusing, and probably disgusting as well.
Another Democrat conspiracy theory “Trump is forcing the USPS to remove Mailboxes so You can’t vote”
The real issue is the Democrats push for “cheat by mail” the only way they can steal the election!
Just like all the other hoaxes they pushed in the last 3 1/2 years, the Great Mail Box Hysteria of 2020 is just another attempt to keep Trump from being reelected.
In reality, mailboxes are ALWAYS being removed or moved around..that’s what the USPS does. At least 14,000 were removed during the Obama-Biden administration and no one even noticed! But Orange Man is a tyrant! Bad Orange Man bad!
The boring truth is that the US Postal Service is losing money and low volume mailboxes are regularly removed to cut costs. Orange man had nothing to do with it!
Yawn.
The REAL issue is the Democrats are pushing for mail in voting, the easy way to steal an election! If you can protest in person and shop at the grocery store, then you can vote in person!
Kamala Harris locked up thousands of powerless marijuana smokers even after she said she inhaled the Jamaican weed deeply. President Trump helped get those low-level drug offenders released.
She said health care should be a right to every American and indeed, everyone ‘round the world who comes here. Medicare for all was pushed by her, at least for a while. Then, perhaps due to Hillary’s pressure, she changed her mind. She now wants to see private insurance preserved.
This is just one of her flip flops. Like Hillary, Harris will change her colors to suit whatever pleases donors and the Deep State. Is she moderate or progressive? Well, the progressives think she’s a moderate, but the moderates think she’s a progressive.
Like Hillary, Kamala will tell any lie or change any conviction if it helps bring her power. It’s pathological. Let’s hope Kamala continues to follow the Hillary template and will lose the election in November.
Thanks to the Democrat convention, which kicks off today, voters won’t have to wait until after the 2020 election to see what Socialism’s all about, they will be able to see through it all—starting tonight.
Giddy with the prospect of getting rid of Donald Trump now that giddy Kamala Harris is on the Biden election ticket, the DNCC show will be what President Donald Trump calls, “a socialist convention”.
Rather than taking the opportunity to appease the electorate that they’re not really on board with the socialist ‘Squad’ members under Senator Bernie Sanders’ tutelage, they’re appeasing Sanders as a main convention speaker.
Fearful of antagonizing Bernie and his coat-tail, ever squabbling Squad Sisters
Fearful of antagonizing Bernie and his coat-tail, ever squabbling Squad Sisters, (as if they could really do anything about it) the DNC is giving Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) a 60-second prerecorded sound bite at the socialist convention.
Don’t know what’s more laughable, Sanders accepting marquee speaker time, or the Democrats pretending that they are lording it over someone, who, in fact, has long lorded it over them!
Old party standbys like former first lady Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Al Gore and John Kerry will take to the floor trying to whip up enthusiasm to flog the dead horse called the Democrat Party—live streaming it for anyone who wants to watch.
“With no hint of irony, Democrats have titled their event, “Uniting America.” How will they unite America when they can’t even bring their own party together? (Fox News, Aug. 17, 2020)
And when, over the next four days, they will spew nothing but hatred and vitriol about President Donald Trump, who is supported by roughly 45% of the nation?
“Democrats and their partners in the liberal media will pretend their party is enthusiastically unified behind their ticket. They are not. Young Black voters, in particular, are not on board with Joe Biden.
“Overall, Pew reports that only 42% of Democrats are “very” or “fairly” satisfied with the choice of candidates this year; that’s lower than when Hillary Clinton ran in 2016.”
Blinded by their obsessive hatred of Trump
The same polls that predicted that Hillary’s win was inevitable in 2016 are now claiming that Biden is points ahead of Trump.
But the only reality Democrats choose to see is their overriding vengeance to get even with Trump supporters in Election 2020.
“Democrats can’t really bridge the gap between the Biden Left and Sanders Far-Left. Instead, they plan to unify their party by spending the hours between now and Thursday night lambasting President Donald Trump as a terrible, terrible person and even worse president. (Fox News)
Blinded by their obsessive hatred of Trump, defiant Dems can’t see it is the main reason why they will lose the election—unless they outright steal it with the Obama-pushed universal Mail-In-Vote.
“Polling shows Democrats are much more excited to oust Trump than elect his opponent; a recent Pew survey shows 56% of Biden supporters say their top reason for voting for the former VP is “He is not Trump.” That sentiment will not drive turnout. (Fox News)
“Meanwhile, Biden’s announcement that Sen. Kamala Harris of California would join his ticket appears to have provided at best a fractional boost to his lead over President Trump.
“The biggest challenge for Democrats, though, is that the tide is moving in Trump’s favor.
Democrats remain mum about the horrific crime wave that is driving residents to flee some of our biggest cities
“Democrats remain mum about the horrific crime wave that is driving residents to flee some of our biggest cities.
…”Last week also saw COVID cases declining 4% and unemployment claims tumbling below one million for the first time since March, raising hopes that the dire impact of the virus is beginning to fade. Housing is accelerating and June real retail sales rose 0.5% from June, indicating a quarter-to-quarter 50% annualized gain in the third quarter, economists say.
“More and more, to the horror of Democrats, it looks like the country is recovering at a faster rate than expected from the virus shutdown. An indication of how powerfully the media is trying to scuttle this message comes from a recent survey in which 62% of Americans say the economy is poor, while at the same time 65% say that their own personal finances are good. That only makes sense if the press is overstating the gloom, which they are.
“Meanwhile, Democrats remain mum about the horrific crime wave that is driving residents to flee some of our biggest cities. Democrats and their liberal media allies may not care about the increased looting and gunplay that are making our streets and neighborhoods unsafe, but most Americans do, and so does President Trump.
“That’s why New York’s Police Benevolent Association, which represents about 24,000 rank-and-file officers, endorsed the president’s reelection bid last week. The head of the union, who stated that their members were under attack, said he could not remember another time in the past 36 years that the union had endorsed a candidate for president, and praised the president for being “one strong voice speaking up in our defense.” This, while Democrats on the Left push to “defund the police” even in cities like Minneapolis where crime has surged.
Millions see Dozy Dems’ “HATE TRUMP” mantra as despicable and after four years running as downright B-O-R-I-N-G
“Then there was the announcement that Harris would be Biden’s running mate, a choice so fraught with issues that nervous Democrat-aligned groups felt obliged to instruct the media on how to report on the candidate.
“Lastly, we have Joe Biden, who spent yet another week literally hiding from voters while his wife and surrogates met with donors, and who continues to decline any meaningful interviews for fear he will reveal … what? That he is actually suffering dementia or that he doesn’t believe in the progressive agenda he has endorsed to please the Bernie Sanders crowd?”
Dozy Dems seem totally unaware that millions not only see their “HATE TRUMP” mantra as despicable but after four years running as downright B-O-R-I-N-G.
Any of those who tune in to the Trump campaign’s nightly recap of the Democrat Convention highlighting the “radical socialism” of the left will find it anything but.
Who exactly are the “Resistance,” as explored in Kim Strassel’s new book “Resistance (At All Costs): How Trump Haters are Breaking America”? How are “Trump haters” different from “Trump critics?” How is the Resistance different from past political movements? What are the long-term implications of its activities? And how are …
Shades of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama’s controversial former pastor, who once complained that the president “threw me under the bus”.
“Barack Obama is sharing doubts about the ability of his former Vice President Joe Biden to win the 2020 election, according to a new report.” (Daily Mail, Aug. 15, 2020)
“Tensions linger between the camps with the VP determined to prove the naysayers wrong after Obama backed former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as his successor in 2016, Politico states.
‘Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f**k things up’
“While the former President has publicly backed Biden – albeit late in the day – he is said to be warning his inner circle that he may not be fit for office.
‘Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f**k things up,’ Obama has cautioned, according to one Democrat who spoke to Politico.”
“Don’t underestimate Joe’ ability to f**k (his words, not ours) things up”.
In other words Obama is greasing his former VP’s back for an easy slide under the bus, before he can even deliver his acceptance speech at the DNCC on Thursday night.
Could it be that Obama is paving the way for the presidency run of Senator Kamala Harris which is who Democrat elites really want as president?
Up to now, Obama and Biden have come across as BFFs.
“On the social media-generated #BestFriendsDay, the campaign posted a picture of “Joe” and “Barack” friendship bracelets. Biden relabeled himself an “Obama-Biden Democrat.” (Politico, Aug. 14, 2020)
Throw out your Obama-Biden friendship bracelet, Joe. It was only a juvenile joke from the get-go.
Fifty-two percent of Democrats/Leaners wish someone else were their nominee (Gallup, Aug 14, 2020)
Obama is now specific about Biden in his 11th-hour complaints about him
Long before Obama’s pointed critiques, Biden was already out there shooting himself in the foot by not seeming to know what day or place it was, to the point where some were demanding he take a professional cognitive test.
“Obama is said to have bemoaned Biden’s lack of understanding for much of the Democratic electorate. (Dailymail)
Because of his multiple trademark gaffes, Dems have treated Biden like the tipsy uncle in early stage dementia some folk hide in the attic when unexpected visitors come to call.
In Biden’s case, the attic is his Delaware basement.
Interesting how the usually non-specific Obama, who performed like the Artful Dodger during his 8 years in the Oval Office, is now specific about Biden in his 11th-hour complaints about him.
“The former president allegedly told one former Democratic candidate that he was struggling to understand voters in the likes of Iowa. (Daily Mail)
‘And you know who really doesn’t have it? Joe Biden,’ they said he added.
“Yet, Biden has pushed ahead despite knowing that Obama may feel he is not the right person for the job and disagrees with his governing style.
Obama didn’t ‘lift a finger’
“ ‘He was loyal, I think, to Obama in every way in terms of defending and standing by him, even probably when he disagreed with what Obama was doing,’ said Leon Panetta, Obama’s secretary of Defense.
‘To some extent, [he] oftentimes felt that that loyalty was not being rewarded.’
“Biden is said to have hit out of the fact that Obama didn’t ‘lift a finger’ to help him take the primary in South Carolina and that he had won the support of black voters in the state on his own merit.
“The tension comes after Obama lined up Clinton instead of his own VP to be his successor, talking Biden out of a run in 2016.
“While the move was linked to Biden’s recent loss of his son Beau and it being too soon after the death for him to begin a grueling presidential campaign, insiders have said that Obama simply viewed Clinton as a better person to take over.
‘In the Situation Room, Biden could be something of an unguided missile’
“…Obama heaped praise on Clinton early after his own 2012 reelection.
‘I was a big admirer of Hillary’s before our primary battles and the general election,’ Obama once said.
‘You know, her discipline, her stamina, her thoughtfulness, her ability to project, I think, and make clear issues that are important to the American people, I thought made her an extraordinary talent. … [P]art of our bond is we’ve been through a lot of the same stuff.’
“Obama is said to have viewed himself and Clinton as the ones that do ‘the reading’.
‘In Situation Room meetings, she had the thickest binder and had read it three times,’ one Clinton aide told Politico.
“While in office, young Obama aides are reported to have dismissed Biden, even ‘eye-rolling’ when the VP would begin speaking, while former members of the administration have also treated Biden dismissively in their memoirs.
‘In the Situation Room, Biden could be something of an unguided missile,’ Ben Rhodes, Obama’s former deputy national security adviser, wrote.
Obama on Clinton: ‘I don’t think there’s ever been someone so qualified to hold this office’
“Former FBI Director James Comey also said that ‘Obama would have a series of exchanges heading a conversation very clearly and crisply in Direction A. Then, at some point, Biden would jump in with, ‘Can I ask something, Mr. President?’
‘Obama would politely agree, but something in his expression suggested he knew full well that for the next five or 10 minutes we would all be heading in Direction Z,’ Comey added.
‘After listening and patiently waiting, President Obama would then bring the conversation back on course.
“The tension becomes more clear when looking back at Obama’s endorsement of Clinton in 2016.
‘I don’t think there’s ever been someone so qualified to hold this office,’ Obama said of the former New York Senator.
In contrast he said of Biden this year: ‘I believe Joe has all of the qualities we need in a president right now … and I know he will surround himself with good people.’
“Obama’s dismissal of Biden comes despite Republicans recalling how they preferred to negotiate with the Vice President over the President, referring to Obama’s know-it-all attitude which they felt spoke down to them.
Meanwhile, when Biden makes his acceptance speech on Thursday night, he’ll be making it from under the bus where Obama already threw him.
The repressed giggles never heard will be coming from the direction of Senator (President in her own mind) Kamala Harris.
Violence and calls for “revolution” have engulfed Portland, Oregon and other major U.S. cities. Rioters have attacked police officers with rocks, bottles, bricks, and fireworks. Authorities have responded with tear gas, rubber bullets, pepper balls, and arrests. How did we get here? And what is really at stake? In this episode, we sit down with Colorado Congressman Ken Buck to discuss his new book “Capitol of Freedom: Restoring American Greatness,” which takes readers on a journey through the halls of the U.S. Capitol to understand the principles that make America exceptional and that are now under siege. We also explore foreign threats to America, and Congressman Buck’s push to ban government employees from using the Chinese-owned TikTok app on their phones.

In fact, leftism is not only godless, but suffers angst propelled by unresolved theological issues. This explains why leftism developed into a cult-like ‘political religion.’ In fact, AG William Barr described the postmodern development of BLM and Antifa as a power mad ‘secular religion.’
The left has “pulled away from the umbrella of classical liberal values that have undergirded” America and made a “secular religion” out of seeking “complete political victory,” Attorney General William Barr tells “Life, Liberty & Levin” this week. “They’re not interested in compromise,” Barr told host Mark Levin. “They’re not interested in a dialectic exchange of views. They’re interested in total victory…It’s a substitute for religion.
“They view their political opponents as evil because we stand in the way of their progressive utopia that they’re trying to reach, and that’s what gives the intensity to the partisan feelings that people feel today, because for them, this pilgrimage we’re all on is a political pilgrimage. Everything is reduced to politics for people who don’t have that perspective.”
AG Barr calls ANTIFA a ‘new form of urban guerrilla warfare’
Why did European politics and Christian theology part ways? Recall Europe itself was a biblical experiment birthing the modern world. As Carl Schmitt wrote,
All significant concepts of the modern theory of the state are secularized theological concepts not only because of their historical development — in which they were transferred from theology to the theory of the state, whereby, for example, the omnipotent God became the omnipotent lawgiver — but also because of their systematic structure, the recognition of which is necessary for a sociological consideration of these concepts.
So the West was built from Christian theories secularized, but as the Reformation faded in influence, politics reversed history and cannibalized religion.
Originally, the debate was theological, then invaded philosophy, and is now waged in social and political realms. Nelson explains the Pelagian/ free-will crowd, including eminent men like Milton, Locke, Rousseau and Kant, believed doing good works by choice defended God’s reputation. This allowed mankind to gain divine approval by serving humanity, bringing peace on earth, and founding utopia. So by doing free-will good on earth through liberalism, we establish the justness of God in heaven.
Political Adoption of Church’s Mandate
Charity developed from Jewish and Christian theology, so support of the underclass emanated from these, later augmented by government. Modern liberalism attempts to commandeer the Church’s role in serving humanity, both on ideological and practical rationale. Nelson explains it’s a fallacy to separate religion from politics in European history. But socialists, like Karl Marx accused capitalists of robbing the poor. They responded with a planned, communal, property-free state. Progressives rejected the church and God, and so by the impetus of transference, government fills the vacuum where God and religion once stood. Liberals only accept humanism.
Post-Modern Woke Snowflake Politics
Arriving in 2020, Democrats ride an unstable wave of progressive anger, hoping the tiger doesn’t turn and devour them. Between the economic and social shock of COVID-19 shutdowns, and the fury of Marxist-derived products Antifa and Black Lives Matter, they seek a sea-change. In typical revolutionary style, opportunist liberals use urban unrest to stifle opposition. This drives a wholly unethical and antinomian structure of Nihilism, claiming any activity is justified if driven by injustice to historically oppressed minorities. If this continues, the Rule of Law will collapse, replaced by the ad-hoc rule of despots, as seen in the USSR.
CONCLUSION
We’re told America is in the midst of a culture war. The problem with politics supplanting religion is it destroys both, amalgamating power. So Marxism, by demanding religion outlawed, and in its fake-messianic predictions, is a pseudo-faith. The threat to American liberty and safety is Marxism. Between Lenin, Stalin and Mao, more than 100,000,000 innocent souls were murdered in the name of the deified state. And no churches were allowed since Marxism will not accept competition. Therefore, we must all bone-up on Marxist theories and then commit ourselves to self defense. No better resistance training against tyranny has ever excelled the Bible. For, from the very beginning, church and state were separated to protect God’s people from usurpation of our Natural Rights & biblical Freedoms by fiery-eyed heathens.

The pinnacle of American jurisprudence is the United States Department of Justice. The Supreme Court of the United States adjudicates when, where and how justice should, and has been, exercised.
The Department of Justice in America is dying from the head. Essentially, it may already be dead. It appears so on the streets of Portland and Seattle, and in the political halls of Washington, D.C. and the Big Blue State governments.
Today, a handful of noteworthy voices is delivering this message in necessarily even-tempered tones. Here are three.
The President
Here is a summary of a FOX Business News reporter’s recent interview with President Trump, whose comments concerned both US Attorney Durham and Attorney General Barr. Maria Bartiromo asked about the Durham probe which Barr claimed could [the operative word] yield some results by next month. Quoting from her interview with the President, Trump said:
“‘I hope he’s doing a great job, and I hope they’re not going to be politically correct,’ Trump said. ‘Obama knew everything. Vice President Biden, as dumb as he may be, knew everything, and everybody else knew. And [former FBI Director James] Comey, and [former CIA Director John] Brennan, and [former Director of National Intelligence James] Clapper, they were all terrible, they lied to Congress,’ the president added.
‘They spied on my campaign, which is treason,’ he continued. ‘They spied, both before and after I won, using the intelligence apparatus of the United States to take down a president, a legally elected president, a duly elected president of the United States. It is the single biggest political crime in the history of our country.’”
Continuing, Trump added that he “hopes Durham is ‘doing a job,” and that his team “is not going to be politically correct and just get a couple of the lower guys. Bill Barr can go down as the greatest attorney general in the history of our country, or he can go down as an average guy. We’ll see what happens.”
Sidney Powell, General Flynn’s Lead Defense Attorney
In an interview posted on YouTube, Sidney Powell, who took over the defense of General Flynn after his deep state lawyers bled him dry of funds with bad results, said this, beginning at 53:05:
“It’s absolutely imperative that the Department of Justice return to the time when it would self-correct. It’s huge. When I was an assistant U.S. attorney, I was raised to tell the judge the truth, whatever it was. The good, the bad, the ugly. Somewhere in the last twenty years we came to this time when these people think the end justifies the means. They’re using the law as a weapon to destroy people, innocent people, to destroy peoples’ lives and that’s not what the system is about. So, the Department of Justice has got to start standing up for the right thing. The only politics in this prosecution [of Flynn] was from the very beginning. On the side of prosecuting General Flynn at all… It[righting the ship that’s the Department of Justice] has to be done if we’re to survive as a constitutional republic built on the rule of law.”
Sidney Powell: Inside the Michael Flynn Case and DOJ Reform
Tom Fitton, President of Judicial Watch
Beginning with the Russiagate Hoax, through the Kavanaugh Hearing, into the Impeachment ordeal, and continuing today, Judicial Watch (JD) has been led by Tom Fitton in its intrepid search for the truth. Throughout that process, JD has been blocked, to the point of being stonewalled, by the Department of Justice (DoJ), its Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Department of State (DoS).
On August 14, Fitton was interviewed by the host of FOX’s Lou Dobbs Tonight show after a three-judge panel of the D.C. Court of Appeals ruled against JD and overturned a lower court order requiring Hillary Clinton to sit for a deposition concerning her use of a personal server while at the Department of State, and events surrounding Benghazi. Two of the judges were appointed by Obama, the third by Bush, Jr.
Into the interview (2:58), Fitton explains how resistance to JW continues to come both from the DoJ, FBI and the DoS:
Tom Fitton reacts to appeals court overturning Hillary Clinton deposition order
“It’s still happening. The attorneys at the State Department are colluding with the Clinton attorneys. They’re fighting us together. It’s incredible, and it’s a betrayal of everyone who expected law and order from this new Justice Department. [Dobbs asks] ‘What is William Barr doing?’ [Fitton silently holds up both arms, then says…] Nothin’.”
Late last week the DoJ announced that FBI Attorney Kevin Clinesmith – hardly a household name in the Russiagate Hoax – pled guilty to illegally altering a FISA document. While it may evolve into an important development, he could become merely one of a very few low-level persons held accountable for a multi-year lie.
Tom Fitton reacts to appeals court overturning Hillary Clinton deposition order
Sacrificial lambs.
One thing is certain. If Biden becomes the next POTUS, any and all efforts to surface the truth of a litany of corruption from the highest level of the Federal Government, through the Big Blue State Governors’ mansions, down to the Mayors and City Councils of the Big Blue Cities that aim to defund their Police Departments, will vanish.
Should that happen, many Americans will have been as Estragon and Vladimir who waited for Godot to come on a country road. Pozzo and his slave “Lucky” come by, and Lucky delivers a speech about God and hell.
Then comes a goatherder who delivers the message that Godot has promised to come soon. Later, the goatherder comes again to say that Godot will come the next day. Then, on a different day, the goatherder brings a message of Godot’s imminent arrival. After multiple false starts, Estragon and Vladimir decide they’ll hang themselves if Godot doesn’t come.
There the play, “Waiting for Godot,” ends.
If the Justice Fish dies, so will the Constitutional Republic of America – until the Second American Revolution brings freedom again.
