    I’m leaving in the morning for Baltimore to participate in The Fogbow meetup. Some excellent folks will be there, including some who comment here.

    Birtherism as a topic of interest at The Fogbow has waned along with the relevance of that movement. They’re more interested nowadays in the domestic paper terrorists known as Sovereign Citizens.

    Birtherism hasn’t waned. It’s just been heavily censored. I still can’t blog on BirtherReport or Fogbow.

    Just spotted this QOTD candidate in the twitfeed sidebar, from @DynaMoChen:

    You know #DonaldTrump could just settle this #JohnMiller / #JohnBarron issue real easy. Let’s just see their birth certificates.

    Have fun in Baltimore. If you meet any birfoons, be sure to be gracious, and congratulate what will probably be their one and only victory: getting Cruz out of the race (you just know he would have stuck it out until the convention if they hadn’t armed Trump with The Shocking Proof™) 😉

    Does anybody else see something suspiciously familiar in this article?

    Scam PACs Drawing FEC attention

    Hint: check out the accompanying image.

    Is the FEC getting ready to spring a surprise on one of our friends?

    Edit: I gotta add that I have been extremely suspicious about where the money that is funneled into PAC’s is actually going for a long time. Back during Arpaio’s last election run he was using the birther crap to milk donors for everything they were worth, and I figured it was just going straight into his retirement fund. Of course Doc said he couldn’t do it, but this guy Mackenzie seems to have it figured out… just pay it out to ‘contractors’ that are controlled by you and maybe go 2 or 3 levels deep and you have successfully laundered all that money. Of course Mackenzie is under scrutiny, but I bet there are lots of others who aren’t.

    Keith: and I figured it was just going straight into his retirement fund.

    My recollection is that AZ law says unspent campaign funds get turned into personal property when you leave politics. The common practice is to use them like PAC money, but it’s not required. So they can, in effect, become a “retirement fund”.

    From Resgans Ghost over at Birther Report:

    “Well, thanks to the efforts of Mr. Volin and others, there is documented proof that these Senators and Congressmen received sheriff’s kits, informing them of Obama’s crimes, and they did NOTHING. So here’s the deal Trump’s gonna work out: the worst of them (Pelosi, Reid, McConnell, Ryan, etc) are going to PRISON. The rest can play ball and look like heroes when the country gets back on track, or JOIN the others on the damned GALLOWS. That’s how serious Trump is about saving this country. He knows it involves more than just changing policy, it involves opening the windows and airing out the STINK left from the Communists who almost succeeded in destroying the USA from within.

    And you can take what I’m saying to the BANK. That goes for Dr. Con and all the other miscreants and trolls who have been haunting this site all these years, trying their best to demoralize you. You never let it happen! God bless you guys! God bless my heroes, BR, Mike Volin, and the many, many people who have never given up! You WILL be vindicated and SOON!”

    These people are just as absurd as Corporal Mike Zullo and his non affidavit, affidavit produced for the Alabama Supreme Court. That had about as much impact as someone whistling in the dark.

    like the word “racist” the word racism is used by parties to emphasize their personal beliefs. You may hate many people and still not be doing it in a racist sort of way People during wars hated the Japanese and thought they were an inferior race of people, they hated the Huns and thought they were a superior people, they hated the middle east arabs and thought they were an inferior people, And in all of those items the race content of the people hated were various.

    the news is full of racist, and racism, comments, on all sides of the problem. Some love the President because he is black, and some dislike him because he is black, it is all personal opinion, and racism is on both sides of the situation.

    Ignore those types of comments.

    OK, to be fair, Trump hasn’t chosen a running mate yet, but the Horrible Lurking Fog has got to be the frontrunner.

    Since I am not able to tear Ramboike a new one at BR (due to my having been banned from commenting there), I’ll call him on his BS here. I know you read comments here, Ike, so open wide for today’s medicine.

    Ramboike says: “Jerry Zeifman, a lifelong Democrat, supervised the work of 27-year-old Hillary Rodham on the (House Judiciary Committee’s Watergate investigation) committee… When the investigation was over, Zeifman fired Hillary from the committee staff…”

    Is that so, Ike? Then how do you explain this quote from Mr. Zeifman?

    “If I had the power to fire her, I would have fired her.”

    Please enlighten us, Ramboike! How is it possible for Zeifman to have fired Ms. Rodham if he didn’t have the authority to do so?

    Y’know, being a lying ignoramus is no way to go through life, Ike. Please try harder.

    Keith: I’m starting to think along the lines of Ken Starr.

    That doesn’t look likely to me:

    An unlikely voice recently bemoaned the decline of civility in presidential politics, warned that “deep anger” was fueling an “almost radical populism” and sang the praises of former President Bill Clinton — particularly his “redemptive” years of philanthropic work since leaving the White House.

    The voice was that of Kenneth W. Starr, the former Whitewater independent counsel, whose Javert-like pursuit of Mr. Clinton in the 1990s helped bring a new intensity to partisan warfare and led to the impeachment of a president for only the second time in the nation’s history.

And that has to appeal to the Trumpster. And who better than Starr to play ‘bad cop’ smear artiste. The guy has made a career out of smearing Clinton and extracting taxpayer dollars while doing it.

    Starr is right up Trump’s alley.

    Starr wouldn’t be the first person to dump on the Trump and then ‘pretend’ to like him afterwards.

    “Most likely” hermaphroditic, Ike? You are obviously not a carcinologist, my friend! Most of us crustaceans have separate sexes. Sure, we have some freaky cousins, like barnacles, who swing both ways, but that’s just how Goddess made them – you got a problem with that?

    I don’t know if there are any birthers other than Hermitian who still believe that Barack Obama is really Bari Shabazz, the love child of Malcolm X and Jo Ann Newman. Several months ago I submitted a FOIA request to the National Personnel Records Center for the military records of Bari Shabazz after it was confirmed that he was a U.S. Marine stationed in Hawaii when he was involved in an auto accident in Honolulu in 1982.

    I did not receive his full record, because I do not have the written consent of his next of kin, but the information I received pretty much puts the final nail in the coffin of the Shabazz theory, which was put forward by Martha Trowbridge, Mario Apuzzo, and other birthers.

    Bari M Shabazz went on active duty in the U.S. Marines on June 29, 1978, roughly two months before Barack Obama began his senior year at the Punahou School in Honolulu. That Obama was a high school senior during the 1978-1979 school year is well documented by stories about him playing on the school basketball team and his presence in the 1979 yearbook. How he could have been in high school in Hawaii and at Parris Island in South Carolina at the same time is something that birthers cannot answer. Shabazz was discharged from the Marines on March 29, 1985. There was no interruption in his active service. His highest rank was Corporal. He received the Marksman Award, two Good Conduct medals, a Letter of Commendation, and a Letter of Appreciation. His last duty station was in Quantico, VA. but in the early 1980s he was assigned as a clerk to a radio battalion in Hawaii.

    We had previously learned that during his time in the Marines he had his name legally changed from Barrington Hugh Smith (his birth name) to Bari M. Shabazz. He obviously informed the Marines of the name change because he was discharged as Bari M. Shabazz. He died in 1994.

    The most objective statement one could make about the Hiroshima (and even more so the Nagasaki) bombings is that they were then, and still are today, deeply controversial.

    Japan has apologized for its war crimes (with various degrees of nuances, but still):

    I don’t know what “legal files” you think exist. All the legal files I know of say Obama was born in Hawaii. Gowdy himself wrote:

    “Like you, I believe the Constitution must be our nation’s guiding document, including its provisions specifying the requirements that must be met for an individual to hold the office of President. President Obama was qualified to run for this office by the Federal Election Commission, and courts have dismissed all lawsuits challenging his status as a natural born citizen of the United States. As such, I believe President Obama to be the legitimately elected leader of our nation.”

    Gowdy certainly looks qualified to be AG, except for his partisan bent.

    BimboLick is also unhappy with the poster at BR asking why the “Surprise Tea Party”, an organization that used the rally cry of “Taxed Enough Already”, is so enamoured of OurPieHole, a man whose actions have resulted in at least 200 million dollars in fines etc and associated increase in taxes and degradation of services in Maricopa County.

    Of course for Bimbo, his response is that it’s all due to Obama’s seekret gay lieberal commie nazi mooslem agenda. When it’s then pointed out that this list of Arapio nefarious activity goes back at LEAST to 2003 much spluttering ensues.

    Oh and he is not to pleased when his recurring and regular slurs about Obot gayness are raised as possible indicators of severely closeted behaviour…….

    But it is up to the citizens of Arizona to decide whether what Arapio has done is harmful, or helpful, to the Law Enforcement of Arizona and that is what matters.

    it really doesn’t matter what you, or I, think about him He is not our problem

    Over at Birther Report, commenter Gen_Z notes:

    You do seem to spend an AWFUL lot of time reading Dr C’s site “ramboike”, one begins to wonder if your desperate protestations have a rather more in denial element to them

    ramboike:

    You camp out here at Birther Report 24-7. I spend about 20 minutes a week reading the propaganda comments from that leftist site.

    Gen_Z:

    Suuuuure, 20 minutes a week, you keep telling yourself that. . . .

    ramboike:

    It can’t be much more than about 20 minutes. I don’t read them all. Besides, after one has read the comments for a couple months you come to realize they’re all saying basically the same thing: We hate America, it’s all whitey’s fault, kudos to our lord & savior Obama, marxists of the world unite. . . .

    So, do tell “traderjack” exactly how is concern over the egregious, blatant criminal acts that violate constitutional rights of Americans by a man supposed to uphold same NOT “our problem”.

    It is not up to the citizens of Arizona to decide whether Arpaio may violate people’s Fourth Amendment rights.

    I’m pretty sure that it is now up to U.S. District Court Judge Snow to decide that.
    At today’s court hearing:
    “Arpaio and Chief Deputy Jerry Sheridan admitted to violating the court order, but insisted it was not intentional.

    Snow said those who were detained by deputies solely on suspicion of being in the country illegally should be paid $1,000 for the first hour of detention and $200 for every 20 minutes thereafter.”

    And if the judge makes a criminal referral it will be up to another judge and/or jury.
