On the open road

 A group of fellows will be doing the Iron Butt Saddlesore challenge today.  I am one of them.  By the time you read this, I'll be hitting I-15 heading South.  Enjoy some music.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg dead at 87

 That whole "No speaking ill of the dead" thing?  Yeah, not so much.  RBG was a progressive anti-American globalist who's sole aim in life was to tear down the framework of the US Constitution until my country no longer resembled a free nation, but instead was a third-world banana republic owned by the progressive Left.

And she succeeded quite a bit.

Ginsburg never had the best interest of America at heart.  Period, end of story, full stop.  And now she's dead

More proof that the FBI is acting as Democrat Party thugs

 They claim that Antifa "isn't an organization".

They have lawyers on fucking SPEED DIAL, you slack-jawed fucksticks!

House Republicans on Thursday tangled with FBI Director Christopher Wray after he said Antifa is “kind of a movement” or ideology but “not an organization.”

Wray told the House Homeland Security Committee that self-identified Antifa, or “anti-facist,” activists were involved in violent unrest following the May killing of George Floyd by Minnesota police, but that the FBI does not consider Antifa a group per se.

Not only is Antifa a group, they are a group of domestic terrorists, a group of anti-American Marxists, a group of domestic enemies of the Constitution of the United States.  But apparently, the FBI can't be bothered to actually watch the fucking news and see what Antifa is doing in real time.  

Oh, yeah, that's hyperbole.  We all know they can watch the news, they just choose not to do so because then they might have to do something that would upset their Democrat Party masters.

I did not know that today was Constitution Day

 But it is.

Not like America follows the constitution any more.  But it's nice to see, kinda like a historical documentation of what used to be.

Fox News panel forbids any mention of George Soros

 Are you fucking kidding me right now?  

I believe it was Melissa Francis who first declares mention of George Soros illegal, to be seconded by a beaming Marie Harf, the former Obama thot who can't believe she now runs an allegedly "conservative" news network.

George Soros has spend millions upon millions of dollars getting anti-American assholes elected in America.  The DA in St. Louis who charged the McCluskeys?  Soros money.  DA Kim Foxx in Chicago?  Soros money.  That douchebag in San Fransicko who worked for Hugo Chavez, and who's now the DA of Sodom on the Bay?  Soros money.

But Fox News says you can't talk about that.

It's unreal just how fast and how far formerly respected organizations have fallen in the past four years.  

Where does BLM get their money from?

 Well, partly from China.  Which should come as no shock to anyone, that a Communist country would be funding a Marxist organization who's goal is the destruction of America.

The Black Futures Lab, a venture of Black Lives Matter founder Alicia Garza, is sponsored by the Chinese Progressive Association (CPA), an organization that works with China’s communist government to push its agenda in the United States, according to an investigation by the Heritage Foundation’s Mike Gonzalez.

Gonzalez discovered that the Black Futures Lab donation page explicitly states they are “a fiscally sponsored project of the Chinese Progressive Association,” explaining where donations to Black Futures Lab are funneled.

Black Lives Matter is an anti-family, anti-Christian, anti-American organization.  Don't just take my word for it.  Read it for yourself, in their own words, on their own website.  

So naturally, one America-hating organization will fund another America-hating organization.

Play stupid games and win stupid prizes

 Minneapolis City Council, who voted to defund the police, now wondering where the police are.

Just months after the Minneapolis City Council called for “dismantling” the police department in the wake of George Floyd’s death, they are now panicking that there’s not enough policing to deal with the spike in violent crime. 

During a recent meeting that was supposed to be a study session on police reform, Democratic council members instead relayed the frustrations they’re hearing from constituents.

George Floyd was a criminal who died from a drug overdose.  But that didn't stop the criminal element and their Democrat Party enablers from burning the city down.

I hope the entire city of Minneapolis burns.  I want every Democrat in that city to feel the painful results of their stupidity.  I have no pity left for them.  They deserve every bit of "bad luck" that they get.

Can we trust any "official" information coming out of Oregon?

 I don't really care what the FBI says, given that the FBI is a group of Democrat Party thugs and enforcers.  While the areas around Portland appear relatively sane, there's no way you can trust the official lines of communication if they are at all connected to Portland or the Oregon governor's office.

Rioters are willing to block cops inside a building and set it on fire, so why would the fire-setting criminals of antifa and BLM hesitate to burn down the lives of people they consider to be fascists?

Given that any condemnation of Antifa seems to bring unholy retribution, why should we trust the official narrative?  If people say that they're seeing Antifa setting fires, then my response would be make sure you adjust for elevation before you pull the trigger.

Some linkey love that will probably depress you a little bit

 Reading Kim du Toit, who links to Gun Free Zone, who links to The Silicon Greybeard.

Our training up to know has been CCW as related to violent crime inflicted upon us or our loved ones.  We never trained for organized mobs with legal  (upfront or tacit) government support.

Antifa and the violent leftist mobs have government support from the Democrat Party.  Any Democrat-controlled area allows Antifa and the violent leftist mobs to operate unimpeded.  Any action against Antifa and the violent Leftist mobs will be punished by Democrats.  

There's no way this somehow just ends after the election.

I am not a tactical trainer so my advice counts for crap, but the only solution I see is to accept you will be screwed by the “Law” in some jurisdictions, have a long gun as minimum and a bunch of loaded magazines or easy to reach buck and slugs.  Use cover and engage from a distance.

If you're surrounded by the mob, you're already fucked.  Avoid Democrat cities whenever possible.  If you find yourself in Democrat-controlled territory, get out as soon as possible.  If you can't get out, make plans to protect what area you can.

We're already in a civil war.  Read that quote from J.R.R. Tolkien that I have at the top of the sidebar:  It needs but one foe to breed a war, not two, Master Warden, and those who have not swords can still die upon them. 

No, I don't have a solution.  I have a feeling that most people don't have a solution to this, short of surrounding Portland and burning it to the ground as a warning to the other Antifa groups.

The destruction of the university system continues

 Why in hell would anyone spend six figures to attend a supposed institute of higher learning when the only thing you're learning is emotional flatulence and stupidity?

Apparently a considerable number of future businesspeople, who are going to a leading MBA program, are in a position where they seem to be bitterly offended (in their words, had their "mental health" "affected") by a word that many of them will likely have to hear on many occasions in their business life, if they ever visit a Chinese-speaking country, work around Chinese speakers who might speak casual Chinese to each other, or deal with Chinese clients, customers, or contractors who might do the same.

The people being indoctrinated by the university system in America are going to be highly credentialed, completely uneducated, indoctrinated myrmidons.  Burn the entire system to the ground.  Kill it with fire.

Just a reminder: Google is evil

Don't use Google to search for anything.  And it's not just Google.  I use DuckDuckGo for my search engine.  I can't get straight answers out of Google or Bing. 

And this is why the Church is shrinking

 The bishops silence priests and laypeople who criticize Biden, while encouraging people who support him.  The bishops have gone political, without a care in the world about the parishes under their jurisdiction.

So why do the bishops silence priests who criticize Biden and protect his defenders? The answer lies in their lack of faith. Deep down they agree with Biden. Like him, they also want to liberalize Church teaching. They don’t mind the coming attacks on the Church. After all, most of them find the Church’s teachings antiquated too. In the end, a secularized Church (which is what Biden’s persecution will aim to create) doesn’t really bother them. What bothers them are outspoken traditionalists who remind them of their shirked responsibilities. Only then do they throw their ecclesiastical weight around. Only then do they start murmuring about canon law. But for Joe Biden, who couldn’t be more blatantly in violation of it, they say nothing and deliberately give him sacrilegious communion.

Shameless cowardice is now the act of the day for most US Catholic bishops.  

Good Catholics must understand that the Church isn't just going to shrink, it will nigh well disappear in the coming years, with pockets of faith scattered through the country keeping the faith alive while narcissistic sodomites and pedophiles wearing cardinal red caps desperately try to hold on to their influence, as well as the money that influence brings in.  We have an anti-pope who's boyfriend runs a child prostitution ring using orphans and runaways, and bishops who refuse to defend their faith.  This cannot end well.

Find a Traditional Latin Mass.  Find those outspoken traditionalists, because they are the people keeping faith with Christ.  Do not follow the bishops into hell, because that is assuredly where most of them are going.

Yes, they DO want to be lectured

 I predict, here and now, that Kalifornia will elect the very same hypocrites this November, and nothing will change.

Last week we had Salongate when House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was caught on security cameras visiting a San Francisco hair salon for a wash and blow-out, despite Gov. Gavin Newsom’s business lockdown orders, and local ordinances keeping hair and nail salons closed during the coronavirus pandemic.

Now we find out gyms located inside of government buildings in San Francisco have been open for months, despite privately owned gyms and fitness centers still ordered closed because of Gov. Newsom’s business lockdown over coronavirus.

If that is not enough, Central Coast Congressional Candidate Andy Caldwell reported to the Globe that the Santa Barbara Unified School District allowed the children of teachers and district employees to return to in-class learning, in a secret carve-out exemption at Franklin, McKinley, and other elementary schools in the district.

No one wants to be condescended to and lectured by foolish politicians who aren’t adhering to the rules and restrictions they put in place.

Yes, they do want to be lectured.  At least the people who live in Los Angeles and San Fransicko do.  They want their government masters to tell them what to do, and to take away all those pesky responsibilities and the freedom that they require.  They're begging the state to put chains around their necks and fetters around their hands, to better scrape and bow to their government overlords.

They will vote for their royal owners, the new aristocracy, and not a single thing will change in Kalifornia.

You heard it here first.
