It’s a Metaphor, You Idiots
Clint Eastwood is not saying that Atlanta Journal reporter Kathy Scruggs traded sex for new stories.
He’s saying that she was a whore.
This is entirely accurate. And she was not alone.
Kathy Scruggs was and will always be a disgrace to journalism and humanity. Just like all the people who are rushing to defend her now.
I mean, don’t get me wrong, she’s got nothing on David Sanger or Michael Gordon. But it is what it is.

A Most Unholy Alliance
Matt Welch at Reason writes about a new political alliance between so-called libertarian Justin Amash and a new group of “McCain Republicans” formed by Rick Wilson, John Weaver and Jeff Timmer calling themselves “The Lincoln Project“.
Wilson, author of the 2018 bestseller Everything Trump Touches Dies: A Republican Strategist Gets Real About the Worst President Ever, previously worked on campaigns for George H.W. Bush, Rudy Giuliani, and Evan McMullin, and was appointed to a Defense Department job by Dick Cheney. Timmer, an Amash constituent and former executive director of the Michigan Republican Party, announced last month that he “will support any Democrat—even a yellow dog—against any Republican who supports Trump.” Weaver, a key strategist in both McCain presidential runs (though he was canned from the second when it was floundering in 2007), headed up the quixotic presidential bids of Jon Huntsman in 2012 and Kasich in 2016, and has been drawing a $10,000 monthly fee from the pro-Kasich Super PAC New Day for America ever since.
Have these people all lost their minds? Why would any libertarian form an alliance with the Bush-Cheney-McCain Republicans?
A reminder of who Rick Wilson is.
This is Your Security Force
Oh yeah. You love them so much don’t you? Your heroes. The boys in blue. The thin blue line protecting civilization from the chaos of freedom.
Aren’t you proud? Aren’t you grateful?
You better sing it loud at the next ballgame, or else, boy.
Even by Afghanistan’s grim standards, 2019 has been particularly deadly for children
The real cost of war AP.
A new report by the U.N. children’s agency, released Tuesday, says that in the first nine months of this year, nine children were killed or maimed every day as a result of war.
Since the ICRC began its rehabilitation program in Afghanistan in 1988, more than 177,000 people, including more than 46,000 amputees, have been treated at its centers across the country. Among the amputees registered, 77% were landmine victims and 70% of those were civilians.
The harm inflicted by more than four decades of war has been cumulative.
In 2018 Afghanistan was the world’s most lethal warzone, said the UNICEF report.
Between 2009 and 2018, nearly 6,500 children were killed and almost 15,000 others injured, helping make Afghanistan the world’s most lethal warzone in 2018,”″ the report said.

In this Thursday, Dec. 5, 2019, photo, a young Afghan girl, who was wounded in a blast, cries as her relatives left after paying her a visit at Emergency Surgical Center for Civilian War Victims in Kabul, Afghanistan. The total number of children killed or maimed in more than four decades long Afghan war is not known. But, with a population where close to 50% are under the age of 20, the losses among the young is tremendous. (AP Photo/Altaf Qadri)
President Impeached. Anyone Care?
I’d be nice if Trump was brought up on war crimes charges for his escalations in Afghanistan and Yemen, but instead all we get is this stupid CIA-Democrat half-assed Russiagate BS.
At least it will make it funnier when the Democrats lose to him again next November.
