Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron (Nintendo DS, 2009)

I forgot to get a picture of the title screen, so instead have a picture of this game’s rendition of the opening scene in Episode III.

Often I will try to do a comparison if I have a game that is cross-platform. I didn’t even know this was cross-platform until I went to look up the date this game was released. I had bought this as part of a bulk lot from a friend back in 2016 and only just this past January did I get around to playing it. I wasn’t missing anything.

The Story

This is mostly how the story is conveyed, either this or text blocks during gameplay.

You play as one clone trooper out of a set of twins. The twins were specially cloned, and while that part is explained we don’t learn why they were given to the Old Republic’s military rather than kept at the cloning facility. We follow one twin and his relation with his brother through the Star Wars timeline starting just before Episode III and ending just after Episode VI.

The Game

You play either as your trooper on foot, in a vehicle on a locked linear course, in a vehicle where you have free maneuverability in the X and Y axis, manning the cannons of a moving ship, or manning a series of stationary cannons. On foot you can change between four character classes with different strengths and weaknesses, but you have to unlock them by progressing through the game. Your missions are usually to destroy every enemy, but also get from point A to point B along mostly linear courses while doing so and sometimes collect a certain item. You travel across multiple maps that all somehow feel like the same map and fight different enemies that all feel like the same enemy (except the bosses and AT-STs). It took me a little less than 5 hours to complete it, and when you’re done you can restart with the all the player classes still unlocked. In fact, you restart as the last player class you played as. But there isn’t much replay value here.

You may be wondering how this fits into Star Wars Battlefront, a series whose gameplay is normally multiplayer-centric and based on destroying more of your enemy’s forces than they have destroyed of yours while running around a large map. Well, that comes into play for multiplayer. This game’s multiplayer mode, which you can play solo against the computer or with friends, is more in line with the gameplay you’d expect from Star Wars Battlefront.

The graphics are somewhere between the PlayStation and the Nintendo 64, and sometimes seem to exceed that slightly. I think it looks pretty good. The controls are ok, but I have some complaints (like how you aim the minigun). The sound is great, very Star Warsy. The music is awful. It’s like the same three 15 second clips repeating over and over and over and over for four hours or however long it takes you to beat the game.

A speeder bike stage, but on Hoth you play like this but as a snowspeeder.

My Opinion

The story mode is ok, but like all Star Wars Battlefront games multiplayer is the big draw. It was only $10-$15 when I looked while writing this, so if you and a friend or two or three have your own DS’s then it’d be fun for each of you to snatch a copy and play. Unless your graphics snobs and won’t play anything that doesn’t look like CGI from a Marvel movie, then you can forget it because despite fun gameplay the graphics are like late 90s consoles.

This is neither hyperspace nor that hyperspace lane Voyager fell into, this is how it looks when your ship is supposed to be leaving a planet’s atmosphere. All they do to differentiate planets is change the color, like to blue in some instances where you really do look like you’re in hyperspace.

Madden NFL 10 (PlayStation 2, 2009)

Kinda looks like the Mortal Kombat 3 versus screen, except pressing buttons doesn’t change the letters in Madden so you can’t enter cheats here.

Just in time for the 2009-2010 football season, here is Madden 10! As with this year, I did not watch the Super Bowl. In fact I don’t recall watching or going to any games that year. At least this year I caught a game or two on TV. But I kept procrastinating on making my pick for who I thought would be at the Super Bowl. I figured the Chiefs again, but I couldn’t even tell you which 16 teams would’ve been contenders to be their opponent.

So as an FU to political correctness and in solidarity with the Indigenous Peoples that white liberals tried to erase, I picked the Washington Redskins even though I know that neither now nor 14 years ago nor any time in between were the Redskins/Commanders ever capable of making it to the Super Ball.

Since I brought up white liberals and am talking about football, I have to bring up (sigh) Taylor Swift. Some poll showed that she could sway up to 18% of voters because her shallow lifestyle that’s written by a PR staff- and her songs passing the blame onto the male half of the relation- appeal to lonely/idiot women, ie: Democrat voters. So my take is that it’s not so much that she’d sway 18% of the population, rather it’s that 18% of the population happens to vote the way she’d tell them to on their own. If that 18% didn’t think Swift would tell them to vote Democrat, they would never have been her fans, probably have cancelled her by now, and she’d die a penniless pauper instead of being a billionaire feeding off the insecurities and mental illnesses of white liberal women (and someone who, between her concerts and jet-setting lifestyle, pollutes more than some countries, something liberals seem ok with these days as long as you say the right thing after).

But as to the NFL plastering her face all over the place to try and bring those women who previously boycotted them and tried to disband them into the fold? Genius. It’s annoying to keep seeing SwiftCam (TM) but at the same time it’s hilarious that all these women that listen to her music and hated football because it was toxically masculine/only for rightwingers/kills people and needs to be replaced by soccer now changed their minds. Leftists used the term “hypermasculinity” to describe football, but now millions of liberal women are flocking to watch the game with Super Bowl advertisers catering more to women, courtesy of leftist Taylor Swift. Liberals are now celebrating the toxic masculinity they tried to war with 10 years ago, and all it took was one of their thought leaders to herd them that way with a relationship as phony as a 3 dollar bill. Well played, NFL, well played. Although, this totally undermines arguments in favor of the 19th Amendment. Oh well.

Instant replays let you watch the toxic masculinity from different angles. Or just watch yourself miss both your field goal attempts by hitting the left and then right sides of the goal post like I did.

And coming back full circle- these same white liberal women patting themselves on the back for cancelling the Redskins name to the chagrin of Native American tribes are now celebrating/contributing millions in merchandise sales to a football team called the “Chiefs” at a time when they are trying to not only ban that team name but ban that very word! And the kicker? It’s to celebrate the relationship between a white billionaire and a (mostly) white millionaire! This is just beautiful to me on every level. Maybe I will watch the Super Bowl.

Anyway, onto the game.

The Game

You can pick your teams from established NFL teams, fake teams the game has pre-loaded, or make up your own dream team. You can play at any stadium that existed at that time (since they are playing in real life at the LA Raiders stadium, I set it to the Oakland Raiders stadium) as far as I know, and even pick which time of day your game runs (you can make it start at one of the usual football game starting times, or make it start at whatever time your system says it is). I’m assuming you still can pick the weather because that feature was like 15 years old by the time this game came out. You can also customize the control scheme. There are a lot of ways to tailor this experience to you. One thing missing though is a closeup of the coin toss. One team picks heads or tails and which direction they are going/if they are doing offense or defense, and that’s it. No toss is shown.

Helpfully, shortly after booting up the game, before even the title screen, you get a helpful video telling you what new features you have for this game.

It plays enough like most every other football game made sense controllers had more than two action buttons that you can pick it up easily enough, though you’ll lose a bunch of yards at first trying to figure out the differences. I myself racked up 15 yards worth of “delay of game” penalties trying to figure out how to make the snap happen. Once I ironed it out though I played about as well as on any other football game I’ve tried- it just felt like all of them with the exception of the additional bells and whistles that didn’t do much to impact my playing experience.

This comment didn’t fit anywhere, but one last note is that they use actual songs instead of generic in-game ditties. I don’t really know when this feature started, but since it was not in any football game I tried yet I figured it worth mentioning. Heavy rock and roll stuff seemed to be the playlist.

My Opinion

Most of the crowd looks like the left pic, but sometimes they will superimpose these eager fan models over the generic crowd. I know that’s what they do because the game made their animations disappear before the camera changed where it was focused.

It’s ok, pretty much the same as any other football game. It was released on the Wii, PSP, PS3, Xbox 360, and even iOS and Blackberry somehow, so it’s not like there aren’t/weren’t other options for playing the game. I’d bet the Wii/PS3/360 versions look better too. So… I guess what I’m saying is there’s no real reason to buy this particular port unless you only have a PS2 (this isn’t even the last Madden game on the PS2), and really no reason to buy the game unless you forever exist inside the 2009-2010 football season.

My Prediction

Since I always use these as a basis to predict how the real Super Bowl will go, I will say that the 49ers will struggle with the controller until the Chiefs get a safety, then as they gradually get competent with the slightly different layout the Chiefs will be sure to keep throwing interceptions (three total) until in the second half when the 49ers lose their lead (and finally throw an interception of their own after MANY close calls) to tie at the end of the 4th quarter 27-27 despite the Chiefs only having a safety and a field goal compared to the 49ers’ two touchdowns at halftime. The Chiefs will win the coin toss at the start of the game and the start of overtime, but the 49ers will win by a touchdown.

Nightmare Mode- 30 Years Of Doom

In case you couldn’t tell by my obsessive comparison of Doom editions last year, I enjoy that game very much. It turned 30 today, so I figured I’d write a follow-up post. You can interpret it as a “how to claim I beat Nightmare Mode in Doom without really trying”, because not all ports treat it equally. Let’s take a look.

What Is Nightmare Mode?

It’s the hardest difficulty in the game. It was absent from early releases, and put in entirely as a joke after some players claimed the PC version was too easy. It’s basically a modification of the next-lower difficulty, but where ammo items give double, enemies attack faster, some enemies move faster, and enemies respawn. Rather, that’s how it’s supposed to be in the PC version, but the console and handheld ports from the game’s first 10 years (ok, it’s really the initial batch of console ports from the first two years plus the GBA port 8 years later) do something different. I managed to get to the third level in the PC version before calling it quits- but speaking of dying, in the PC version when you die and start the level over you get 100 health and 50 bullets for your pistol but that’s it.

Game Boy Advance

Monsters don't respawn, monsters are deaf (meaning that if you fire a shot, they won't hear it, in the PC version most of the time they will hear it and come for you) ammo doesn't give you double, and the monsters don't move fast. When you die, you restart the level with just the pistol, and when you die the level restarts like the PC version- this doesn't matter as much as other ports because you can save the game when you beat a level.

This was the first one I beat on Nightmare. I think this game’s “Nightmare” is just the next-lower difficulty mode. The very one that was not hard enough for some players which led Id Software to create Nightmare mode. Oh, the irony. But this is the easiest way to be able to say you beat Doom on “Nightmare”. The rest of the ports increase the difficulty on you.

SNES

Monsters don't respawn, monsters are deaf, ammo doesn't give you double, individual health/armor pickups don't give double, and monsters move fast. When you die, you restart the level with everything you came in with except your health and armor cap at 100.

This and the GBA version are the only ones I’ve beaten on Nightmare. I like to think of the SNES version as being a nearsightedness simulator. If an enemy is too far away, it’s just a couple of pixels that you can’t discern unlike in other ports. Textures and items similarly are rendered to tiny pixels the farther you are away. Now while this is true on every version of the game, the SNES version’s resolution and level of visible detail is lower even than the Game Boy Advance’s. Plus it runs pretty clunky, there is a noticeable delay between input on the controller and action on the screen, and just a light tap of the button is enough to send you flying in that direction as the framerate chugs along. To me it’s tolerable at lower difficulties because this was the copy of the game I played the most as a teenager, but when the monsters start moving extra fast these issues become very noticeable, even to me. Also, unlike the other console ports, the small health and armor pickups give what the PC version’s give- the other ports here double it.

Sega 32X

Monsters don't respawn, monsters are deaf, ammo doesn't give you double, and the monsters don't move fast (actually they might move fast, but I had a hard time telling because the game couldn't maintain a stable framerate). Monsters become more aggressive and more accurate. When you die, the level restarts like the PC version.

It took like 5 tries but I finally beat it; it was definitely harder than the SNES port because basically if you die you might as well restart the whole 16 level series (or 17 but I skipped the bonus stage). In the SNES port when you die, you restart the level with whatever guns and ammo you had when you entered. On the 32X release you restart with the pistol and 50 bullets, which disappear very quickly at the start of the 7th map. Like in the SNES version, all the monsters face forward all the time because those are the only spirtes- the full 360 degree view was cut for cartridge space- so the only way they attack each other is by getting into each other’s line of fire (the PC release had it so that if a monster shoots another monster they fight).

I noticed something too about this port. The architecture is slightly different than the 3DO and Jaguar ports, in addition to the enemy placement that I mentioned in the bigger comparison post. Aside from lacking the easy trick to end the 4th level that was in the GBA and 3DO versions, they made some doorways tighter. Oh, and last time I mentioned that the teleport sound was missing in this one. That’s not entirely true. Somehow the cue for it gets overwritten easily, but it’s there until you pickup a gun.

Panasonic 3DO

Monsters don't respawn, monsters aren't deaf, only the smallest ammo pickups give you double (ones that weren't dropped by an enemy), and the monsters shoot fast. When you die, the level restarts like the PC version. Transparent enemies are rendered transparent (this and the PlayStation/Saturn ports are the only 90s console/2000s handheld ports that do that).

I got only 9 levels in (skipping the first bonus level) before I was clobbered, like I did on the Jaguar system. For the 3DO, Jaguar, and 32X versions I kept hitting a roadblock at the 7th map (skipping the bonus). Like, many times on each system this was the level that I was stopped at. Something about that map seems to be my make-or-break point- with the 32X port I just could not get past it but when I did I went all the way to the end, while on the Jaguar and 3DO I at least made it to the 9th level, although I know I wouldn’t have been able to get much farther.

Anyway, the basic zombie enemy that fires one shot became a little dangerous, with a blast that can do some damage and a little more rapidity thanks to this being in Nightmare. It’s not that the monsters are more accurate (though it seems that way, so maybe they are), rather there are usually enough of them firing at once that somebody’s bound to hit or catch you in a crossfire. I also think your accuracy is a little off and the auto-aim isn’t as generous as in other ports. Good luck surprising the monsters too- I think there is exactly one instance where you can sneak up behind an enemy, at least in the first 7 stages. There seems to be a much smaller window for sneaking up on them than on the PC version, it’s so bad that I actually thought for a while that the backsides of the monsters weren’t even included! Also I’ve mentioned it with the 32X and will say it again with the Jaguar, but often (especially in larger rooms) the pink demons are moving fast but you can’t tell because the game slows down.

Oh by the way, it runs smoother than the SNES version contrary to stereotypes., and the controls are more responsive than on the Jaguar port

Atari Jaguar

Monsters don't respawn, monsters aren't deaf, only the smallest ammo pickups give you double (ones that weren't dropped by an enemy), and the monsters shoot fast. When you die, the level restarts like the PC version.

The input lag I was having issues with last time was still here this time, even more pronounced when the framerate dropped. The framerate is not as bad as the 3DO or SNES, but it was such that I couldn’t tell if one of the monsters was going at double its normal speed. As it turns out, the pink demons do run fast like in other versions but because often when you see them the framerate drops you don’t notice. This makes the rare times where there is enough processing power to render them at full speed even more jarring. It also means you might not be expecting them to bite through your chainsaw (at regular speed, using a chainsaw on the pink demons interrupts their attack pattern, but at twice the speed the attack so fast that this isn’t reliable).

I did find this version more difficult than other versions, and only made it to the 9th level (skipping the first bonus stage) before getting clobbered (I got pinned trying get the plasma gun). Believe it or not, that is a huge improvement over many attempts over the previous few months where I only got to level 7, and even still over a few months prior where I only made it to the third level, and at the onset it had taken me three tries to get through the first level.

I will also add that this version looks nicer somehow than the 32X or 3DO versions, like it looks like you see more details in the textures and sprites. Maybe the 3DO port looks better when you aren’t running it in a small screen so that you get a good framerate? The lighting effects and levels also seem to differ among home ports.

Sega Saturn And PlayStation (And Final Doom on the PlayStation)

There is no Nightmare mode, not even a fake one like in the GBA port. 

Ultra-Violence seemed way easier than Nightmare on the other systems, except the GBA, but the Saturn/PlayStation version of Doom is actually a continuous playthrough of Doom and Doom 2 (with Final Doom being a grab-bag of misc levels), so I didn’t care to try my hand at all those maps on Ultra-Violence. When you die, you restart the stage with the usual 100 health and 50 pistol rounds but hey at least all the small health and armor pickups give you double. Oh, and they move some Doom 2 enemies into Doom 1 stages.

Ultra-Violence+

I only recently found this mode because I didn’t know to look for it. When I got Doom 2016 on the Nintendo Switch, it was the copy that came with Doom, Doom 2, Doom 3, and Doom 64. In this release, there is a mode for Doom called “Ultra-Violence+” that can be accessed from the Level Select menu. If you don’t have any of the above consoles or copies of Doom, this is pretty close to the experience. Ammo and health don’t give you double, and because there is no slowdown from the console trying to process the advanced graphics and engine the pink demons are faster than they mostly are in the console releases (except maybe the SNES version), but the monsters attack at the same increased rate. It’s a more difficult experience because in the other ports levels are either removed or cut down and monsters are removed or in different spots or are in fewer numbers. So it’s a good thing that it comes with a save feature. I think the most notable change ended up being to E2M6 (Halls of the Damned), which was pretty easy on Nightmare on the other systems but is a real struggle for me on Ultra-Violence+ (I did impose the limit on myself that I’d only save at the start of levels like the GBA and effectively the SNES versions so that I could make this a more accurate comparison, so that is not letting me game the Switch port to its full potential). Even the SNES port of the game, which was largely faithful to the original, was somehow easier.

My Opinion

The GBA port was hands down the easiest to beat on Nightmare, followed by the SNES port and then the 32X port. Since I didn’t beat the 3DO and Jaguar ports (despite the fact that in the 3DO port on the 4th map you can skip the yellow key and run right across to the exit, a quirk that was still in the GBA version. Of the Jaguar and 3DO ports, I think 3DO is easiest… right up until the 6th map.

And for my money, E2M7 is the map that had the most changes from port to port, whether being excluded entirely or reworked significantly from a brutal ride in the PC version to a 3 second speedrun on home ports that included it (the 90s console/2000s handheld, naturally starting with the mid-2000s console ports everything was included).

WCW World Championship Wrestling (NES, 1990)

As usual, with Wrestlemania this weekend I review a wrestling game. My pick this year was motivated by the below ad that I saw in a comic book. I already had the game, so I figured I should review it.

The Game

Something seems wrong about Michael Hayes getting Ricky Steamboat in a submission hold.

It’s just as indecipherable to me as any other wrestling game that isn’t Wrestlemania Arcade or In Your House. I played two matches, and managed to last longer in the second match but not only is the computer merciless I am pretty sure it has a longer range than the player.

First you pick what sort of match you are going for, then you pick your wrestler, then you pick 4 moves for your wrestler. These moves are assigned to arrows on the D-Pad, but they don’t come into play until you start grappling with another wrestler. I don’t have a manual so I can’t tell you how to do it, but I did manage to do it once on my second match and got a nice backdrop in.

You can also take the action out of the ring, but I’m not sure how that is achieved because each time it happened because I was thrown out by the computer. Getting back in is easy though, just walk up to the ring while mashing buttons. Like in wrestling (except today’s stuff, especially on AEW) there is a countdown when you’re out of the ring and if you stay out too long you are disqualified.

There are two things interesting to me here- first is the smoothness of movement. I don’t mean fighting animations, what I mean is how you glide across the ring. In the SNES wrestling games I’ve played and in others it feels like you’re really pushing it to move, but here you glide along. The second is their use of voice recordings. Uncommon in NES titles, they managed to cram distorted ring announcer and staticky crowd noises onto this cartridge.

My Opinion

It’s the only WCW game on the NES, so of course if you like WCW then buy it. It’s usually pretty cheap, and probably a lot funner to play against someone else who is a WCW fan and has no idea how the controls work than it is to play against the computer. Actually, older WWE fans might like it too as it features wrestlers who either had or would eventually wrestle for them.

NFL Football (Intellivsion, 1980)

Though it says Copyright 1978, the Intellivision was not released until December 1979, and only test marketed for much of 1980, and this game didn’t hit store shelves until February 1980.

It’s Super Bowl time again, so here we go with the annual football game review. Of course, I may not have many of these left to do if the other side has their way and bans football (thus depriving African Americans of yet another opportunity by replacing it with a white one- but according to the New York Times’ Steve Almond Blacks achieving in football is racist anyway because it’s racist for Blacks to have money I guess (he’s not the only NYT contributor that says Blacks success is racist).). I’m not sure why they want to replace football with soccer though since that means the audience is in as much danger as the players (seriously, aside from a movie with Jack Klugman and another movie with the assassin from From Russia With Love, when has an American football game ended in bloodshed? Strangely… it’s the less popular sports with the worst rioting. I dunno, I can’t tell iced canes from diamond bags anyway.), who are still in the same amount of danger as football players (perhaps moreso with women players, so maybe don’t get too attached to soccer in the longterm)… and sometimes war breaks out.

The Game

As you can see, the cartridge is plugged into the side (at the bottom of the picture), and the controllers have an interesting layout

Player 1 has yellow teammates with a red quarterback, and Player 2 has blue teammates with a black quarterback.

Intellivision was new to me when I played this. Evidently, you have to have two players otherwise you can’t play the game. There is no single-player mode. This is not the only Intellivision game to do this (speaking of Intellivision limitations, if you want to get one get the first version off the console, as the second version can’t play certain games, like Donkey Kong).

Being a game from 1979, you don’t get the same number of play options as future football games. There are still a few options to choose from, and you will need a manual to understand it. Luckily you can see them for free online. You may be wondering how a game from 1979 can have enough options to need a manual, and that lies in the controller. It has a keypad with 10 buttons plus two more buttons on either side of the controller, and on top of that (actually the bottom) is the…. uh… D-pad? Joystick? I have no idea what to call the thing for moving your character because it is a black circle flush against the controller.

Prediction

Since they were out of colors, the referees are depicted as black as well, which means they must be corrupt because they are wearing the colors of Player 2’s team. Thus I predict the referees at the Super Bowl will be biased as well.

I didn’t get to play this out because it was just me jumping between controllers. With no single-player mode, there was no AI to play against. So just based on the colors of the team it seems that the Washington Commanders and Carolina Panthers will play at the Super Bowl. I have not been following football and wrote this before the penultimate game had been played, so this is a legitimate prediction made in ignorance.

My Opinion

I think it’s a fun game, seems like it’d be fun if you play it with someone else. A lot of Intellivision games are so cheap that you can afford to get them in boxes with manuals. So there’s not much reason to pass this up.

In The News – How ABC News Presented Tyre Nichols, Paul Pelosi, and Palestinian Mass Shooters

Sometimes when I visit some folks I know they watch ABC Evening News. They don’t believe much of what they hear and recognize the slant, but they still watch it. So what did I see the night of January 27, 2023?

Prologue

They preview what stories they will cover. Tonight for the first segment they were discussing the then-impending release of police bodycam footage of Tyre Nichols’ death. Segment 2 was discussing bodycam footage of the attack on Nancy Pelosi’s husband. They tried to make the two sound equal. Segment 3 was about a Palestinian mass shooter who chose Holocaust Remembrance Day for his killing spree in Israel.

Segment 1 – Riot But Don’t Riot

ABC News was sure to play footage of people saying don’t riot (then they interrupted Jeopardy! to show footage of Tyre Nichols being pepper-sprayed and screaming for his mother), followed by a sermon from the civil rights equivalent of an ambulance chaser Ben Crump rallying the crowd to irrational action against the police.

I’m thinking Ben Crump just heard that a black adult was killed by 5 police officers and assumed that they were white, because he made sure to make race a part of his message. Upon learning they were Black, he probably slightly modified rehearsed speeches when insisting that systemic racism was what led to this, saying that Tyre Nichols would have been killed no matter what the color of the officers’ skins was (all five were black) because our system is designed to kill blacks (so all police are evil, this “racism” idea was repeated by CNN). Again, that’s not true. There is no racial disparity in police shootings (except when it comes to media coverage because dead Blacks are more profitable for the media and its civil rights allies like BLM), it is true that more blacks have interactions with police, but it’s not true they are dying unjustly by the hundreds or thousands as Democrats believe. And to say all police are evil because of these few officers we saw is like saying all Blacks are evil because for decades they’ve commited murder more than any other race, so much so even Obama spoke out about it. I will acknowledge that after seeing the video, the only possible justification for what the police did is if Tyre Nichols somehow raped one of their relatives or something horrific like that and this was street justice, but even if that was the case the officers were rightly fired, and if there is no extreme justification like that then the officers are simply evil people.

As to the “culture” that Ben Crump mentioned, that’s called being human. Any enforcers of power can become abusive (literally they just took a bunch of random people for these two experiments and found the heights humans would go to when allowed or asked. Random people, Check here for some other relevant experiments… plus some other ones that aren’t related.). So what is it that Ben Crump, BLM, and Democrats want? More power of course, and more people in power. Abolish the police, but we saw in 2020 they plan to replace the police with roving armed mobs of murderous (and vaguely segregationist) Brown Shirts. Their little experiment in Seattle was the perfect microcosm of what their world would be. Then again, as noted in the second sentence we’ve seen experiments in liberal havens (I suppose some smartass in the comments will try to say that colleges aren’t liberal, in total contradiction to every liberal out there who proudly touts their college degree and insist college causes people to become liberal (yes, even liberals say college makes you liberal, they claim it’s because you are educated and exposed to more cultures)). Part 2 of the equation is that, it is a fact, Black neighborhoods tend to be higher crime areas so that is where police will be. Police go where the crime is. Regardless of why, the police are there to respond to what happened today, not over generations (or as Joe Biden put it, “It doesn’t matter whether or not they are victims of society… So I don’t want to ask, ‘What made them do this?’ They must be taken off the streets!”). Politicians like Joe Biden who gave us that quote are supposed to be working on systems to handle what led to the crime problem. Something made people grab a gun and start shooting, grab a knife and start stabbing, and at that point the only reason you’d demand to abolish police and send in psychologists is if you have the stomach for a high body count. Though, when the Left has its anarchy, they beat people the way Tyre Nichols was beaten by armed thugs (and while they want to ban you from having guns, they are happy to use them. While they demand gun control, they violate laws by handing guns to people who legally should not have them and then Democrat politicians praise them after they violate gun control laws those Democrats demanded). So you’d think they’d be the FIRST to scapegoat humanity’s immaturity when it comes to being in power.

(another note- ABC’s supplemental coverage that they interrupted Jeopardy! for was sure to point out that EVERY police officer was evil. So they say that all cops are bad, even have an expert who agrees that police will be seen as “occupiers” rather than legitimate law enforcement, but please don’t riot.)

I guess they got tired of people talking about Biden’s classified documents so they created the Atlanta Antifa riots, and some of their sister riots within which a Democrat leader’s son got arrested for assaulting police. Spread hate for the police so everyone will agree with the Antifa cause- overthrowing democracy (y’know, that stuff they accuse Republicans of). Or maybe this is to distract from Project Veritas revealing that Pfizer thought about creating new COVID variants so they can make new vaccines while acknowledging COVID will be profitable for years… and while assaulting Project Veritas journalists (but as you know from the Omicron variant, the vaccines Pfizer makes for their variants would only really work on their own variants, so they would be useless and unprofitable… and Pfizer doesn’t do anything that isn’t profitable).

Segment 2 – Is It Really The Same?

They went out of their way to try and build the Pelosi attack video as being the same as the Tyre Nichols video. Getting hit with a hammer and being beaten to death by five armed people are very different. I don’t know what kind of sick mind would try to equate the two (they said both videos were equally as disturbing).

Speaking of Paulie, this video was the fakest thing I have ever seen. I have been in fights and struggles over objects, this was not one of those. It was like Paul and the attacker were just standing around waiting for police to show up. Paul clearly wasn’t struggling, had a free hand the whole time while the attacker had two hands on the hammer, so why didn’t Paul grab an object and wallop the attacker? And the story behind it? Bogus. The attacker spent several minutes trying to beat their way into the house before body slamming their way through the glass. No neighbors heard this, Paul didn’t hear it. Have YOU ever heard glass being pounded on or shattering? It is LOUD. And look at where they say the guy broke-in: if it happened as alleged, why does it look like it was blown outward? Why is the hole too small for someone to fit through and too distant from the door to be of any use except to Reed Richards? And then the guy catches Paul in his bed, but lets Paul get out of bed, grab his phone, and lock himself in the bathroom? What kind of idiot is this attacker? Oh but it gets better- Paul decides to leave the safety of his bathroom after calling police. He didn’t call the security for the gated community who’d have a faster response time; he called the police. Then left the bathroom. We know Paul isn’t that dumb, as he keeps making stock trades at the exact right moment as if he had the inside track, but that would be illegal so Paul must just be smart and quick-witted.

The story concludes with what we see on the bodycamera footage. Paulie and his buddy made their way to the front door, where they were just kind of chillin’ with the hammer limply dangling between them, with Paul grabbing casually with one hand while the intruder had both hands on it, with the attacker laconically letting Paul open the door for police and Paul nonchalantly welcoming the police. Then when police say put the hammer down, now that the attacker is on camera and the item has been identified he attacks. Let me remind you that this man is half of Paul’s age, Paul is not particularly in-shape, yet we are supposed to believe that he singlehandedly (literally, as he only used one hand) kept the attacker from using his hammer until the police were there to witness events.

Did I mention the attacker is described by those who know him as a leftwinger living with a BLM supporter, and that the alleged blogs he maintained that showed him as a rightwinger only existed the day he was arrested (keep in mind he was arrested in the morning).

This phony, fabricated, staged sideshow that makes amateur actors on public television acting out a child’s script look believable is what ABC News says is equal to the brutal death of Tyre Nichols.

Segment 3- Whose Fault?

They started presenting this story as neutral, told everything relevant to it, but then they shoehorned in a reference to how Israel has “its most rightwing government in history” (that is either exactly what the anchor said or almost exactly what they said, I did not write it down as I was eating at the time) in such a way that it seemed to be their attempt to justify the shooting.

Conclusion

Out of this (and other) randomly selected news broadcasts from ABC, there’s huge bias to their reporting. Too much to just be coincidence, and it taints how the public sees the story. Fox News or Newsmax or somebody needs to get on these broadcast stations. As more and more people cut their cords and switch back to antennas, this is a growing market and should be entered.

Andrew Callaghan – A Tale Of Two Rapes

Just to get this out of the way first- I don’t even know the guy, though apparently I’ve watched some of his work. I just saw a cutoff headline about Tim Heidecker having no plans to work with someone, and clicked to find out who.

One of the claims against Andrew Callaghan is total garbage. The other is legitimate. The fact that BOTH are being treated the same is unconscionable.

I’m not defending him, except in the “innocent until proven guilty” sense and the “women really fake rape stories so wait for proof” sense.

Apparently he is one of those super-woke types, so while I’m sort of defending him, frankly it’s good that he’s being hoisted by his own petard. These are the standards he wants us to live by, so now he gets to live by them.

Anyway, let’s get down to cases.

Case 1

He’s in a car, and allegedly gets very aggressive. He allegedly tries to force himself onto someone he once had sex with. He allegedly grabs her hand and forces it down to his genitals.

If true, this is awful and he deserves to be prosecuted and jailed.

Case 2

Some woman he’s staying with regrets having sex with him. That’s it. She let him into her residence, he asked her several times for sex but never in an aggressive way, eventually she relented. Now she says this was “traumatic”. So she didn’t kick the guy out and eventually consented with the only pressure being that he asked her. We’re supposed to see this as rape and feel sorry for her. She made a choice she regrets, but it’s not HER fault, it’s someone else’s, someoen she allowed to stay at her house despite allegedly unwanted advances, to which she eventually agreed. That’s consent. She could’ve kicked him out, called the police to get him out if he refused, but she did nothing of the kind.

Differences

If you see no difference between being raped and consensual sex that in no way has any sign of being forced, then you’re a liberal.

What can I say? All sex is rape I guess. Rewrite the laws!

But you know what this does to people who REALLY are raped? It trivializes what happened. If rape is just sex as you regret, as liberals want us to believe, then how do we know someone who really was raped isn’t just misusing the word and lying about the rest to make their story more believable? Ok, we get it, sometimes you have sex and it’s lousy, but that IS NOT rape if you consent to it! And how much more consent can you give than letting the guy live with you and saying “yes let’s have sex”?! If they meet in court, the person in the first case has every right to slap the smug off the face of the person in the second case. The person in the second case doesn’t know what trauma is. Her ONLY excuse is if she is mentally ill to the point where the mundane is traumatic, where she hasn’t left the house in years because terror keeps her in bed. Only then could she use that word “trauma”. Does someone need to mansplain what rape is to her? What trauma is? Or are women just THAT fragile and pathetic that one night of bad sex THEY AGREED TO WITH SOMEONE THEY VOLUNTARILY ALLOWED INTO THEIR HOUSE FOR MANY NIGHTS must be treated as rape?

Conclusion

Virtue signallers are sick in the head and total narcissists. This woman has the gall to think that regretting consensual sex with someone she lived with put her in the same category as a woman who was raped, and dared to say she feels “trauma”.

And for those of you saying I don’t understand her plight, by HER OWN definition, I’VE been raped, multiple times by different people!

She is clearly pretending to be a victim here, but in her circle of Lefties they have their heads so far in the clouds that she actually thinks consensual sex with a housemate she allowed to stay with her would be viewed as rape if she said she regretted it. You know, maybe it’s good that liberals defunded police to the point where they can’t enforce calls on rapes anymore, because if THIS is what qualifies as rape then there’s a lot of fuss over nothing.

Star Trek Voyager Elite Force (PS2, 2001)

Taken from the game’s credit sequence rather than the usual title menu that I show.

Otherwise known as Star Trek Troopers. I played this back in June and wrote this around then, but held it back until a little after the midterms because I assumed I’d be doing some political content. This’ll get ya through Thanksgiving anyway.

Non-Sequitur, but I think Species 8472 look like a race of mutant Mewtwos. Maybe the legendary Mewthree? I say Mewtwo is more adorable than 8472- just a big ol’ grumpy kitty.

Species 847Mew2.

The Story

Your starship was transported into an alternate dimension, its power is being drained, and this is totally not related to the plot of “The Void” which is the same thing but probably was made a few weeks after this game. While in the void, you must fight other folks who were sucked into it and the creators of said void.

You play as a member of the Federation Starship Voyager‘s designated fighting team for places outside the ship. Given that normally there’s a detachment of Marines on ships for this kind of thing, I guess this makes you a Space Marine. Unlike other Space Marines in video games who load a ton of weapons on their backs, this game actually gives a logical explanation using existing technology from the Star Trek universe for why your character doesn’t appear to have a ton of weapons and isn’t weighed down by all of them yet still has access to all of them in combat. This automatically boosts it a couple of points in my view.

They had the TV show’s opening credits, but with the game’s credits (that’s where the first screenshot on this page is from). Except the music was replaced with exactly what you’d expect if you said “can I have something like the Voyager theme but legally different?”

The Game

It’s a first-person shooter using the Quake engine. It took me 19 years or more to beat it legitimately, based on an old save file on my memory card that showed it took me almost 9 hours to reach a spot that this time around it took me less than 4. Maybe the improvement has something to do with the fact that leading up to this I played all the Doom FPS games and only finished playing the add-ons for Doom Eternal a few weeks prior. Some of the same strategies apply, in fact this game even has its own version of Doom 2016’s/Doom Eternal’s Hell Knights except most of the time you fight them they don’t have the space to jump and they have projectiles.

The Bad

The graphics are… well, it is 2001. For the in-game people, it’s like if someone tried to upgrade GoldenEye 64 for the PS2. Not a far trip between the two. The graphics for the stages were pretty good, though once in a while they’d glitch up on you.

Speaking of glitching up, it DOES NOT like skipping cutscenes. In the final boss battle I skipped a cutscene and it kept freezing me in place long enough to take a hit, but that was still better than the first time I skipped the cutscene which led to the entire game freezing. It does like to freeze, at one point I had only played it for like 6 hours according to the save menu and yet it must’ve frozen 3 or more times in that short period of play. One time it even froze in the middle of a battle while the controller still had the “vibrate” command coming to it, so the controller just kept rumbling even a few seconds after I restarted the system.

Now we come to one other thing- framerate. It runs nice and smooth when there aren’t that many enemies, but there are sections where you get swarmed like in Doom 2016/Doom Eternal (or Doom 2 Map 10). Then the framerate drops to where it’s hard to aim and move. It goes from the framerate on the smooth PC Doom to the framerate on Doom 3DO. Luckily it’s usually not long, all you need to do is kill a few enemies and unlike in the Doom games that I mentioned previously as having framerate issues the level design has nothing to do with it. It’s just too many enemies running around.

The Good

The environments are pretty good, and there are some I’d have loved to see more of or spend more time in (namely the original Enterprise-lookin’ areas and Voyager itself). Disappointingly one of those wasn’t available on multiplayer, but there is a map for Voyager in multiplayer for you to run around with some friends trying to kill each other.

I think engineers, architects, and computer science folks have nightmares that look like this: 4 starships from different species at different levels of technological evolution (and from different universes too!) somehow merged to form a space station.

Multiplayer is another high point on this one. You just need your one console to do split screen… and a big enough TV which is no problem now but back 19-20 years ago when I first got this it was.

They actually got the main cast for Voyager to come in and do the voices, and even had some minor characters from the series reappear- and voiced by the same actors. Pretty cool! And the voice acting was actually good, everyone seemed to be taking it seriously.

The story as well was good, it felt a little Star Trekky. You meet aliens that start hostile but turn out friendly, you try to reason with enemies sometimes. While you shoot everything that moves, there’s always an explanation like either a misunderstanding or the enemy ignoring friendly overtures, and in some cases shooting it out is not even the preferred method of advancing through the game. Contrast that with Star Trek: Invasion where the Star Trekky stuff is pretty limited, where almost all of the game is just blowing stuff up while making sure your own stuff doesn’t get blown up- a story set in the Star Trek universe rather than a Star Trek story.

My Opinion

I liked it. It’s too long and involved to be more than once every several years, but it’s good. And did I forget to mention that it’s the only “Star Trek Voyager” video game? So that combined with how well done it was should be a major selling point… to someone somewhere I’m sure.

I should probably try the PC version; the graphics look better. I doubt it has the framerate issues and some glitches this version had. The PC version and the PS2 version are about the same price as of this writing for the disc alone, but you might need a CD key and might have trouble running something made for Windows 98 on modern hardware (I’ve tried running some contemporary games in “compatibility mode” on modern hardware, but had lousy results) so I’d say the PS2 version would be easier to get going.

Seems I forgot to grab a Game Over pic, though sometimes when I beat the game I don’t bother with one. Anyway, here’s the game’s version of the Doom 2016 Hell Knight.

Why The Election Results Will Be Questioned, Part 10

• Part I
• Part II
• Part III
• Part IV
• Part V
• Part VI
• Part VII
• Part VIII
• Part XI

Both sides of the aisle will be questioning the results.

Let’s start with the Right.

We are in the wee hours of the morning on election night, and it’s shaping up to be lousy (or at least worse than it should be, but not as bad as I expected). I couldn’t help but notice that on the brief bit of Fox News coverage that I watched around 11pm ET, they were emphasizing how ties with Trump were toxic to certain candidates. They even blamed some of the more conservative firebrands for diverting GOP money to what should have been safe races, leaving more vulnerable races in trouble. They also talked about how New Hampshire was lost because of how long the GOP Primary lasted there.

That’s a load of garbage. The Establishment RINOs threw the races because their preferred candidates lost in the primaries. They openly funded Establishment losers in the primaries (and sabotaged ones they didn’t like), and the moment Trump-backed candidates swept the primaries the heads of the GOP declared the midterms to be unwinnable. Why? Because they were scared- these new candidates were not beholden to the elites, and the party elites would rather lose and be unable to serve the citizens who voted for them than face any kind of challenge to the hegemony they have in the GOP. And now they (and from what I saw, their spin masters on Fox News under RINO Paul Ryan) are trying to spin the election wins as a referendum on Trump. They are just as scared of him running as the Democrats are. And as for needing to move money around… hardly. They sent money from a conservative in a tough race to Democrat-lite Lisa Murkowski’s campaign, which didn’t need it. They stopped money from flowing to campaigns that needed it.

And most assuredly, they will not question any irregularities that brought this outcome about. And boy have there been a few already! Poor Arizona– that’s a real big mess (and once again Dominion voting machines prove their worth- to Democrats!). Look at how a judge ruled that districts that stopped counting votes due to technical issues before polls closed could not remain open after polls officially were to be closed. The voters most hurt by that are Republicans, because they wait until the day of the election to vote, so election day voting machine sabotage hurts GOP turnout, especially if polls close early because the computers are down! Now, it is a question as to if this was sabotage or not. Not that they’d ever find out, the person in charge of investigating election irregularities in Arizona will WIN because of these irregularities. Funny how that works.

As for the Left…

They started a campaign to delegitimize any Republican win this year, as they have done in the past (they even said Republicans would murder people to win in 2020, which obviously didn’t happen, and right now CNN/The Week/The Atlantic/Daily Kos/Rawstory/Progressive.org/New Republic/The Guardian are all running articles saying that Republicans will steal 2024). MSNBC was out there saying don’t believe the polls, the Democrats were going to win, which necessarily implies that a Republican win was achieved by cheating. Less subtle accusations of cheating were also thrown out. One Democrat already said earlier this year that Republicans stole a special election. Then there’s the myth of voter suppression like in Georgia, where historic numbers of Blacks voting indicates that Black people aren’t being allowed to vote, with these numbers topping any previous occasion that wouldn’t have had voter suppression according to Democrats (in other words, topping any other Georgia election Democrats won). But don’t let facts get in the way of a good narrative- Stacey Abrams made her name for herself and got to appear on Star Trek by claiming that her election was stolen and illegitimate, and this just gave her something for her next book deal. So Democrats ended up having “voter suppression” as their stolen election myth for claiming elections they lose are not legitimate, despite record turnout over and over again.

By the way, why do you guys believe it takes days or even weeks to learn the outcome of an election? Plenty of other countries, some whom you say we need to model ourselves after, get it all done in one night. For that matter, with much more primitive technology, we knew the same night that Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama won their elections. So how come the system got worse?

Rocky Start

We’ll see how things play out. Republicans have some things to be happy about, but there’s clearly a bit of cheating going on. Democrats will also come out saying their lost elections were stolen. According to one Democrat (who voted against certifying the 2016 election, a vote showing he denied the election was fair), denying that elections were fair means you are unfit for office. And that summarizes the Democratic Party right there- in their own words they are unfit for office but it’s stealing Democracy if they don’t win in an election, so violence against the GOP is ok.

Pounded Paul Pelosi

I’ll get right to the point: what happened was either a freaky sex thing gone sideways, or it’s because Nancy felt sending Paul to the doghouse just wasn’t enough after he embarrassed her earlier this year.

What Happened?

Police are refusing to release bodycam footage, and any requests for information won’t be answered until well after the Midterms. Conveniently, Democrats are using this as a campaign issue, claiming it was an average Republican that stormed the Pelosi Capitol.

Here are the events:

• A homeless-nudist-illegal-immigrant-Black Lives Matter-supporter was found naked except for underwear in Paul Pelosi’s house, and so was Paul (of course that story changed)
• Paul’s house and neighborhood are protected by private security, and surrounded by cameras, yet there is no footage of the assailant entering (allegedly Capitol Police weren’t watching, like Epstein’s jail guards) and there was no security guarding the house
• The alleged entry point into the house is so small that the assailant couldn’t get in without tearing himself apart on the glass, and apparently couldn’t enter without setting off an alarm. In fact, originally it was reported that he entered the back door, and the only visible glass was OUTSIDE the house in a pattern indicating the window was broken out, not broken in.
• When police arrived, they reported THREE people in the house, with no one injured at that time, and Paul Pelosi was the one with the hammer. But over time the story changed (much like the FBI’s tales after their bosses told them to lie)
• Somehow, Paul and the assailant ended up injured. In fact, the government alleges that Paul was brutally beaten after police arrived.
• The assailant is an insane drug addict, there is no footage of him espousing conservative views, and he lives in a school bus, yet it is alleged he was sane enough to start and run a website.
• There is no record of the assailant’s website until some time after the incident took place, and it was erased from the internet shortly afterwards.
• Federal charges were filed, ensuring the case would be treated like the Mar-A-Lago raid in that the public will only receive selective details leaked by Democrat-affiliated DOJ officials disguised as “anonymous sources”.

As you can see, there are a few questions here. In fact, taken altogether, only two conclusions are reasonable.

1. Paul knew his attacker (as indicated in the first link, that’s what police said) and invited him in for purposes unknown, though based on them both being in their underwear and a third person present, it was probably not anything platonic. The attempt to paint a homeless Canadian illegal immigrant nudist as a Republican happened after the fact to hide yet another Pelosi embarrassment.
2. Nancy wanted an October Surprise because no one cared about the January 6 stuff and the Mar-A-Lago raid, so she told her husband to take a dive and found some crazy guy no one would remember. Her husband owed her after she bailed him out of his DUI earlier this year.

It clearly didn’t happen the way we are told. What happened defies logic. Somehow the archetypical San Francisco liberal (illegal immigrant nudist living in a school bus) radicalized overnight (based on the only known record of his website it could not have been around long) and immediately went to attack Nancy Pelosi at her house that somehow he had the address of and somehow bypassed security to get into by I guess imploding the window so it scattered backwards and somehow entered through the resultant hole that was too small for him?

I will add- look at how quick and ready Democrats are to blame this on Republicans. They’re even trying to get Republicans to stop running ads against their Democrat opponents, in the name of some fake “civility”. This was obviously not a random Trump supporter, it was either a politically-motivated quick fix for another Paul screwup or it was a hoax from start to finish, one that Paul had to get a little bruised for.

Where Is The Real Violence?

Since Democrats are saying that anything anti-Pelosi or anything questioning the 2020 Election’s legitimacy (meanwhile most Democrats still believe Russia hacked into our computer systems to alter the election totals in 2016, and still are saying elections are being stolen) led to this violence (and that not only must people stop saying things Democrats don’t like because anything a Democrat doesn’t like hearing leads to violence against Democrats, but also anyone who DOES say something Democrats don’t like needs to be punished for saying such things), then it would seem Democrats believe that words of public figures and actions of citizens are directly linked. The court ruling against Alex Jones wherein he had to pay $965,000,000 for questioning the official narrative because a handful of his followers decided to non-violently act after hearing information he provided shows what kind of consequences Democrats have in mind. I don’t doubt they will use that precedent to go after anyone else who says things they dislike if someone acts on it (and they know that Republicans can’t do that- Republican judges know such an action is unconstitutional and garbage so they’d throw out any cases like that, while liberal judges would just throw out any case like that which didn’t help the Democratic Party). And what a coincidence it is that this thing with Paul Pelosi and the demands from major news networks and politicians to silence and punish those saying words they disagree with came right after the Alex Jones ruling which provides a precedent for just such a punishment!

If Conservative judges also tore up the Constitution and allowed a case like that to go through, here is a list of violence by Democrats this year alone, all from articles I’ve collected only since August (so I didn’t mention the communist Buffalo shooter, the NYC attempted serial killer who hated white people like the Left told him to, the mass shooter who acted based on CNN last year, and the Bernie Sanders supporter who almost murdered several Congressmen in atmosphere of intense threats by Democrats). By the way, they say violence is uniquely rightwing.

• 82yo pro-life activist shot
• 18yo ran over by a Democrat who wanted to kill a Republican
• 135 pro-life activists were attacked vs 6 pro-abortion activists between May and September
• A canvasser for Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) was beaten for being a Republican
• A Democrat activist bit a Republican County Chair
• Leftist man beat a woman for wearing an American flag shirt
• Democrats are swatting conservatives (essentially using the police to attempt murder)
• Democrats assembled a violent mob to stop a conservative from speaking at a college
• Democrat politician murdered a reporter who was giving unfavorable coverage
• Assassination attempt by a Democrat on a Conservative Supreme Court Justice
• Crisis pregnancy centers firebombed by Democrats
• Democrat activist tried to shoot a mayoral candidate
• Democrat activist tried to stab a Republican Congressman to death
• Teenage pro-life activist was assaulted
• Democrats threatened a mass shooting against Republicans (which they actually did even earlier this year, and in 2017)
• A Democrat threatened to murder a Republican poll worker at a polling place on a primary election day

Here is a list of violent rhetoric, or rhetoric leaving Democrat voters with no logical recourse except to act in violence. Remember, these are through the lenses of Leftists, through which the Left says that merely having a negative opinion of them is inciting violence, say that “fight for your rights” is tantamount to calling for physical violence, say that calling for Pelosi to lose her job or asking “where’s Pelosi” is the same as trying to murder her, and that saying “peacefully” is a dog-whistle for violence.

• Rep. Tim Ryan (D) said they need to “kill” Trump support. He once said rhetoric like his leads to mass shootings.
• Leftist puppet Liz Cheney said Trump supporters- 74,000,000 citizens or more- are a “clear and present danger”
• House Speaker Pelosi was revealed to have said she wanted to physically assault Trump
• Democrat activists expressed happiness at a Republican protester being shot dead
• A Democrat Senator issued what she said was “literally” a “call to arms”
• the Democrat President said anyone who disagrees with the agenda is a violent extremist who is a “clear and present danger”
• A former FBI official told agreeing Democrats he thought the President’s threats weren’t strong enough
• The President’s Press Secretary agreed with the President’s remarks labeling anyone disagreeing with him as so strong a threat that you’d be criminally negligent to ignore it.
• Even rank and file Democrats believe conservatives are domestic terrorists.
• MSNBC said Democrats are at war against their political opponents
• All Democrats are saying their opponents are threats to Democracy
• MSNBC says Republicans are a threat to our way of life
• A Democrat Congressman said Republicans will engage in violence
• MSNBC says white conservatives in particular are naturally violent
• MSNBC says we are in a civil war already
• CNN says Republicans are the only violent people in the country

Seems like we have a case on our hands too.
