The Seduction TAkes!

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

This Tuesday will be the Wisconsin Primary, and it looks like Cruz and Sanders are going to win going away. While this will be a set-back for both Clinton and Trump, they both face larger issues. For Trump, this looming loss will likely mean that he won’t get to a majority of delegates to seal the deal on the first ballot in Cleveland. It would take divine intervention for him to win on a second or subsequent ballot. 

For Clinton, this will mean that the delegate count will be close to neck and neck discounting the Democrat Super Delegates, who can change their support at any time. Even worse, the FBI investigation into her personal email server and the national security issues that entails should be wrapped up by the end of the month. If the FBI issues a referral to the DOJ all bets are off.

Finally, some guy named John Kasich is still in the Republican race, even though he has no mathematical chance of winning the nomination, and can not even be nominated on the RNC convention floor under current rules, or even the rules from 2008. We’ll deal with Kasich first. At this point his presence only serves to stop Cruz, not Trump  kasich-issues

Ted Cruz: No, Rule 40 shouldn’t be changed to make John Kasich eligible for the nomination

40B is the rule that states that a candidate must have a majority of delegates from 8 states in order to even be nominated on the Convention floor. This was changed from simply winning a plurality of delegates in 5 states in 2012 after it was discovered that the IA delegation had been taken over by Paul supporters even though Santorum and Romney virtually tied for first place in IA. (Santorum eventually won with mere dozens of votes to spare two weeks after caucus night.)

There is no way at this point that Kasich can meet either the 2008 or 2012 standard to even be nominated at the Convention. You gotta wonder what the heck is he doing by continuing in the race. At this point he is merely blocking downfield for Trump. A vote for Kasich is a vote for Trump.

Rich TAkes! On the Primary Stakes

Tonight will be the last Republican debate before Super Tuesday so I thought that I’d post some of my reading material about the candidates in general fromElect Ted the past few weeks. Trump has just come off a resounding victory in the Nevada caucuses where he managed to outfit many of the election officials in official Trump hats and Tees. Jeb Bush has dropped out after South Carolina, while Kasich and Carson vow to stay in to the convention. Meanwhile, on the Democrat side, Hillary and Sanders are duking it out for the communist and felon vote. Finally, Antonin Scalia passed away a week or so ago, reminding us on why we absolutely have to get this election right. We may not have another chance. I am officially endorsing Ted Cruz for President, and I hope you do too.  

Rush broadcast a classic rant the other day below, and I hope you enjoy this edition of RichTAkes! 

Rush: What This Election Is Really About and What’s Really at Stake

“…if we’re serious about stopping this transformation of America, it isn’t gonna be easy, and winning an election is not gonna send a signal to the other side to stand down, you lost.  They don’t look at it that way.  This is a fight between socialism and capitalism, freedom versus tyranny, however you want to categorize.  There isn’t any overlap.”

RichTAkes! on Yogi Berra

RichTAkes! on Yogi Berra

Rest in peace Yogi, you were a true class-act!

Yogi Berra, Yankee Who Built His Stardom 90 Percent on Skill and Half on Wit, Dies at 90

Yogi-Berra-ObitI was five and turned six during the 1962 season, I was a huge Yankees fan, they were on the Sunday “Game of the Week” nearly every Sunday afternoon. It must have been on CBS. Former Yankee Dizzy Dean was the announcer, and Falstaff beer sponsored the game. (this was before the “Papa Joe Greasydick” campaign in the early 70s which doomed that brand of beer. What were they thinking?)

Roger Maris, Mickey Mantle, Whitey Ford and Yogi Berra, what more could anyone at my then tender age ask for? Clete Boyer? Yes! I think his twin brother was named Clint, who played for the Cardinals with Stan “the Man” Musial.

By this time, Yogi was far along in his career and shared catching duties with Elston Howard. Jim Bouton was a pretty good pitcher too.

For me, this was the golden era of the Yankees, they won 14 of 17 World Series during this time.

I was surprised to learn that Yogi has played in more World Series games than any other player, he came up to the majors in 1947 if I recall correctly (it’s in the NY Times piece above). This would put Yogi in the same rookie class as Jackie Robinson with the cross-town Brooklyn Dodgers.

He later managed both the Yankees and the Mets and probably knew more about baseball than anyone, excepting possibly Leo “the Lip” Durocher.

I also learned yesterday that he was a machine-gunner’s mate in the Navy serving at the invasion at Omaha Beach.

Yogi was an American icon, I wish him Godspeed to his next destination. He was truly a class-act.

Here is the 1962 Yankees roster:

1962 New York Yankees Roster by Baseball Almanac

35 of Yogi Berra’s most memorable quotes

1. “It ain’t over till it’s over.”

2. “It’s deja vu all over again.”

3. “I usually take a two-hour nap from one to four.”

4. “Never answer an anonymous letter.”

5. “We made too many wrong mistakes.”

6. “You can observe a lot by watching.”

7. “The future ain’t what it used to be.”

8. “If you don’t know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else.”

9. “It gets late early out here.”

10. “If the people don’t want to come out to the ballpark, nobody’s going to stop them.”

11. “Baseball is 90 percent mental. The other half is physical.”

12. “Pair up in threes.”

The Baby Parts and Planned Parenthood TAkes!

Today we are focusing on Planned Parenthood and their founder Margaret Sanger, the outrageous marketing of baby organs being harvested thanks to the Center For Medical Progress, more on immigration and birthright citizenship, and oh yes, there is a holocaust happening in the mid-east, and Obama won’t even speak about it.

Can we defund Planned Parenthood now please? “Planned Parenthood” is an oxymoron. It is planned murder, not parenthood. PP is a 501(c)3 non-profit charity. That means that you or Geo Soros can give 100 bucks or millions to PP and not pay tax on your contribution. So we the people are subsidizing PP through the charity deduction. On top of that, the Feds have seen fit to contribute over 500 million each year from the public till, spending our tax dollars on top of the largely unseen private deductible donations. The very least that we can do is defund Planned Parenthood today. We can work on the tax exempt status some other day. If you can spare the ten minutes to watch this and not be outraged, you must need a heart transplant, since yours must be missing.

…Let’s see, I’ve taken over the banking system, autos, student loans, decreed unconstitutional illegal immigrant work permits and will soon issue millions of new social security numbers to illegal aliens, ran legal US guns to Mexico illegally, ran illegal military arms to Libya and Syria, shut down hundreds of coal mines and power plants, So.. internetencouraged the IRS to hassle my opponents, refused to approve the Keystone XL pipeline (yeah I know, that’s a first), shut down deep-water oil wells which Clinton approved, spat on Bibi (figuratively speaking) and have been negotiating with Iran so that they can build their own nukes…How can I fundamentally transform America even more today? I know, I’ll take control of the internet using an arcane law that FDR signed, I’ll just have my three commissioners over at the FCC declare the internet a public utility, that should do it! We can’t have free enterprise, free innovation, and free speech without government control now, can we? …

~Barack Hussein Obama~

From the link: Losing the Internet

“This happy cycle can go on indefinitely until eventually the the world is divided into two distinct spaces: a West completely crisscrossed by a “free and open” Internet and Internet of Things governed by a man called Hussein and 8th century badlands governed by other men called Hussein. Welcome to the 21st century. So are we doomed? Probably. But critically not in the way you might think and perhaps more importantly, not in the way president Obama thinks.

The actual effect of government control is to institutionalize incompetence. The more Obama controls, the more he destroys. Take Obamacare. Hardly a day goes by when we don’t read that 80 million records have been stolen by Chinese hackers from Obamacare provider Anthem; or that Obamacare itself is sharing information with third party providers. Only the other day the public learned that 800,000 wrong tax forms were mailed to Obamacare policy holders because they used the wrong year in the computation; that after 3 years the backend isn’t finished.

And in other news let’s not forget that Snowden stole the crown jewels from the NSA. In fact, Glenn Greenwald was on hand to collect the Oscar given by Hollywood to the documentary depicting the theft.”
