HillBilly comes to Rochester. There goes the neighborhood.

The presidential freak show of 2016 continues with HillBilly Clinton's circus coming to Rochester tomorrow.
Her husband, ex-president and famous adulterer Horndog Clinton, was here Wednesday.
The Donald and Canadian Cruz, among other assholes aspiring to the presidency, are also expected to drop in Rochester shortly.
Like shit from pigeons.
HillBilly is coming to town to rally her supporters, mostly other opportunistic Demagogic politicians and mindless fans. They know that she is a liar, a perjurer, an opportunist and a fence hopper. She has made statements before the cameras and then done 180 degree turns, denying that she made her original statements, which have been captured forever on video.
Andreas Rau has described such people as "political acrobats."
Her supporters know that HillBilly is a consummate con-woman, but will vote for her anyway, which means most Americans are incredibly stupid where politicians are concerned, and will willingly pursue actions that are contrary to their own self-interest or well being.
Con artists take great pleasure in having their suckers submit willingly, like Monica Lewinsky did.
I wonder if any people attending her rally tomorrow will shout out "Remember Benghazi?"

Monica Lewinsky's ex boyfriend comes to Rochester today.

Ex president Horndog Clinton is coming to town.
He is not coming to buy cigars.
Horndog is in town to promote the presidential campaign of his wife, female impersonator HillBilly Clinton.
Her only qualification is that she had sex with Horndog, just like so many other women.
Local Demagogues will be falling all over themselves to meet with him today. They admire a publicly acknowledged liar, perjurer, adulterer and Bible-thumping Fundamentalist hypocrite. He meets with their approval because they have so much in common.
The Demagogues are also shrieking about the low moral character of The Donald and his current sluttish wife, failing to see that irony in their blaze of admiration for Horndog.
The fact that things like HillBilly and The Donald could even be considered for the office of president shows how low the American people have sunk.
My only advice is that while Horndog is in town is to lock up your wives and daughters.

Summing up 2015.

Tomorrow night is New Year's Eve. It's time to sum up 2015 in Rochester.
2015 was almost exactly like 2014. I don't see any important changes occurring in 2016.

Politics:

The November elections left both the Republicans and the Demagogues in the county legislature in exactly the same configuration as they were in December, 2014. A Republican county executive, and the Republicans outnumbering the Demagogues 19 - 10. Nothing new will be coming out of that political body.
Since Republicans have abandoned active involvement in the City of Rochester, the Black Demagogues and Establishment Demagogues fought themselves to a standstill. Despite sometimes humorous attempts, neither made inroads into the other's territories. The only interesting result of Election 2015 in Rochester was that two Establishment Demagogues were propelled into positions where they can easily challenge Mayor Warren for her office in 2017.
City Hall remains minister-ridden and devoted to promoting the interests of the black community,
perpetuating the tale of 'Two Rochesters." It could hardly be otherwise. The black community is the mayor's only secure power base. She can honestly argue that the black community needs her help more than anyone else, but it makes one wonder what Affirmative Action has accomplished in the last fifty years. The bitter truth is that Affirmative Action created job quotas based on race, social promotion, political correctness and a sense of undeserved entitlement.

Poverty:

Rochester remains one of the poorest cities in America for its size. That is because technology eliminated low skilled, high paying industrial jobs that were Rochester's mainstay. Photonics is being hailed as Rochester's latest economic savior. Previous saviors were High Falls, the Fast Ferry, Renaissance Square, Paetech Tower and a new downtown theater, all of which bit the dust after costing Rochester's taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars with nothing to show for them.

And how do you attract business developers to an area where their potential employees are unqualified for the positions they might offer? And why would any serious developers choose to locate in an area that is perceived as dangerous and violent, because the excuse given is that people commit crimes only because they are poor?

Education:

The Rochester City School District remains a national joke and the worst performing school system in the state. The parade of inept superintendents of schools, hired by the near moronic and repeatedly popularly elected school board has produced this lump of shit. Equally to blame are parents who are unconcerned that fifty percent of the students are absent from school any day of the week, and that less than fifty percent of the student body graduates. They are also unconcerned that fifty percent of those who do graduate are functionally illiterate and unqualified for any high skilled, high paying jobs. That is not going to change in 2016.

Crime:

Rochester is perceived as a dangerous, violent place. That is true enough in certain areas of the city: the ghetto. Most of Rochester's violence and murders take place there. The violence is usually black on black. Sometimes it is black on Asian refugees, who are easy marks for street-smart thugs that roam our streets at will. The rest of us are usually safe from that kind of violence, except for burglaries, robberies and home invasions. The black community is largely unconcerned with black on black violence, unless it is spectacular, like the mass shooting at the Boys and Girls Club on Genesee Street last summer. They prefer not to notice that teenage thugs blossom into full grown criminals because that's whitey's fault. They are more concerned with black deaths resulting from altercations with white cops. Then all Hell breaks loose.

Crime, like charity, starts at home. The trite phrase "It takes a village" is bullshit. It takes a family to raise decent, law abiding and responsible children. Families consisting of teenage baby mamas, absentee baby daddies and overworked and frazzled grandmothers aren't much of a family, and certainly are incapable of providing much of a moral compass for their children. That, too, isn't going to change in 2016.

Of course, there are many people who honestly seek to improve Rochester. There are all sorts of voluntary organizations and neighborhood groups who want to help others and devote their time, money and efforts hoping to make a difference: the Kiwanis, the Rotary, the literacy volunteers. How successful have their efforts been?

In conclusion: Tomorrow night is New Year's Eve. 2016 will bring no great changes to the lives of most of us. It will go on the same as most years in the past have. We will continue to remain apathetic, cynical and untrusting because there is really not a lot happening in this city to get excited about or to believe in. Our politicians are liars, because they cannot make things better despite their election promises; our elected officials and their hangers-on want us to do their work for them because they want to get re elected and can't admit they are incapable of changing anything; our fears of crime and violence only serve to reinforce long held prejudices and stereotypes.

So pop the cork, make merry and go on with your lives, knowing that everything that currently goes on in Rochester will continue if we are here or not.

We kill vicious animals, don't we?

It is the final week before Christmas. You know, the season of peace and goodwill towards men.
To celebrate this joyous season, two men were shot in Rochester on Thursday night. One on the east side, the other on the west side.
Friday morning, two bruthas who are brothers invaded an apartment house on the west side, holding four people hostage. All four of the victims were injured, two requiring hospitalization.
Saratoga Street is one of the poorest parts of Rochester. How much would they really gain by breaking into poor peoples' apartments?
Not much, but we'll get to the "why" in a few more sentences.
Later on Friday morning, another asshole was shooting off his gun in his car on Dewey Avenue. When pursued by the cops, he fled his vehicle. That resulted in School #7 being locked down and several blocks of streets around it being cordoned off for four hours while the police searched the neighborhood for the asshole.
When the thugs responsible for this holiday merriment end up in a court of law, they and their bleeding heart white liberal allies will blame their socio-economic status, racism and their dysfunctional family upbringing as being responsible for their criminal behavior, not they. While there is a kernel of truth in these excuses, those factors are not indicative of anything approaching predestination. They also choose to ignore the most important factor of all: freedom of choice.
That's right.
These assholes have chosen to commit crimes. They have chosen to terrorize, bully, beat, maim, shoot and kill people. They want to do as they please. Then they count on their bleeding heart liberal allies ( usually white ) to beat their chests and cry "mea culpa" and provide excuses for their behavior for them. So do their mamas and daddies.
These criminal assholes are then sentenced to pitifully little time behind bars, as though that will rehabilitate them.
But what is there to rehabilitate them for? They like hurting people. They get their kicks from it. That's what bullies do.
When returned to law abiding society, the odds are that they will return to their old tricks and continue their criminal behavior with other criminal associates. That's what recidivism means, and those rates are high.
And they will go on doing it until someone stronger than they are beats the shit out of them, pounds them into submission or kills them.
We kill vicious animals with nary a thought about what made them vicious. But we draw the line at killing vicious humans who are far more dangerous. The death penalty is out.
We could lobotomize them, but bleeding heart liberal politicians are afraid of that, too.
I have a suggestion.
We could arm violent criminals and drop them into those territories controlled by ISIS. There they could engage in their blood lust to their hearts' content.
Most violent criminals are cowardly bullies, and don't like fighting people who might be better armed and just as vicious as they are. They wouldn't last long there. The ISIS fanatics would eat them alive.
Bon appetit.
And we wouldn't need to support these violent assholes any more, or waste time trying to rehabilitate them, because that doesn't work.

Another murder in the hood.

Another young man was murdered last night in Rochester.
He was shot and killed outside of a liquor store on Portland Avenue in "the hood."
This comes less than a week after drive by shooters fired into a crowd on the southwest side, killing three young men and wounding four others.
The mayor's pet project, Clergy on Patrol, was roaming the southwest and the northeast last night, almost at the same time that this latest killing took place.
That is having no effect on the violence that pervades "the hood."
It is almost as though the murderers are thumbing their noses at the Bible thumpers.
This morning, there might be a few politicians and ministers mugging for the cameras, saying that this must stop,
They've been saying that for years.
Perhaps their egos prevent them from admitting that they have no influence whatsoever on people who want to kill other people.
And the friends and families of the murderers are too loyal to them to turn them in.
Just another night in "the hood."

You can't stop people who want to hurt people from hurting people.

That's right.
The latest rash of shootings this weekend reinforce that statement.
The mayor, the chief of police and the ministers can't stop it because they can't change the basic nature of those creeps.
That's because they are psychos. Their consciences never developed.
While they are too stupid to understand Newtonian Physics and the theory of cause and effect, they are street smart enough to know that the courts won't do too much to stop them, either.
If they get caught, and that's a big if.
Courts depend on plea bargaining to clear cases of crime, otherwise the whole system would shut down.
The myth of mandatory jail sentences for people who commit crimes with guns seems to have vanished into thin air because of this.
That might have locked up the bastards for a good long time behind bars had it ever been put into practice.
We can't stop human predators from preying upon other people. We can't change their warped personalities.
We euthanize vicious animals that have gotten loose and endanger human beings.
We can't do that to these vicious creeps only because they are human.
What can we do?
We could put them out of society's way.
Why waste our time, effort and money to change the unchangeable? Let's just lock them up.
This the pseudo-liberal officials who run our governments and courts are unwilling to do.
So we can expect more shootings and deaths.

Hitting rock bottom.

The figures have come in and the verdict is out.
After forty years of Democratic misrule, Rochester, New York, is now the poorest city of its size in the entire US of A.
Coupled with the fact that we have the worst school system in New York State and one of the worst in the country, we are clearly up Shit Creek without a paddle.
This is one thing you can't pin on the Warren Administration.
Truly, Warren Administration has enough mortal sins and fatal flaws in its makeup to answer for, but they inherited this mess from previous incompetent and inept mayors.
The downward slide in Rochester's fortunes goes back more than twenty years, to the Johnson Administration.
This subject has been covered in depth elsewhere, so only a brief summation will be offered here.
Rochester's prosperity was based on heavy industry. The change in technology resulted in heavy industry being discontinued, with tens of thousands of jobs in those areas being eliminated.
The precipitous decline of Kodak, Rochester's sacred cow and largest employer, and the ripple effect it was producing was evident during the 1990s.
The Johnson Administration, a less than creative bunch, chose to ignore it and concentrate on enjoying themselves. It was more fun to have fun than come up with any definite plans for Rochester's future.
Mayor Johnson himself was concerned with creating his legacy, which has proved disastrous, and amassing a fortune, at which he was much more successful.
It also raised the spectre of racism here.
Critics of the Johnson Administration were branded as racists, which helped muffle his opponents in the city, at least.
After twelve years, Johnson was succeeded as mayor by his endorsed candidate Bob Duffy.
Duffy promptly double-crossed Johnson on the subject of political appointments and began to dismantle Johnson's ill-devised memorials to himself.
Rochester's economic decline was clearly evident then. Rochester was making the national poverty and poor school performance lists.
Duffy substituted his height and folksy charm for policy, which accomplished nothing for Rochester, but it convinced him that he was in way over his head and beyond his capabilities.
He fled for Albany at the first opportunity, where his ineptitude was so conspicuous that he did not seek to remain on Andrew Cuomo's ticket in 2014.
Duffy's hand-picked successor, Tom Richards, was a willow the wisp. Labeled as a "progressive," he was no such thing. Rochester's fortunes continued to decline ( Duffy proved to be of no help in Albany whatsoever ) because he inherited Duffy's do nothing administration.
The few jobs he created did not counter the massive job losses that continued to occur in Rochester because even he had no clear-cut program to grow business here.
Rochester continued to decline during Richards' brief tenure as mayor, and he was ousted in 2013.
That's where Lovely Warren comes in. She inherited more than twenty years of neglect.
While her administration hasn't accomplished anything visibly beneficial yet, and it has been barely a year since she took office, she, personally, has her share of blame to bear for the sad state of Rochester. She was in city government for 6 years before becoming mayor, as a city councilor and then city council president.
They came up with nothing to turn the city around, and have no sense of shame about anything.
The big question is, is it too late to turn the city around? Especially a city that has been neglected for decades and where the only evident policies are political correctness and reverse racism?
