Again, things like this are done on purpose

 Germany to clear-cut historic forest for "Green energy".

About a year ago we reported on disturbing plans by the government of the German state of Hesse to clear 20 million square meters of 1000-year old “fairy tale” forest in one of Germany’s most idyllic, fairy tale-like forests: the Reinhardswald located in the hilly region west of the city of Göttingen.

The Reinhardswald is known as the “treasure house of European forests” or the “Grimm’s fairy tale forest”.

A total of about 2000 hectares ( 20 million m²) of the thousand-year-old Reinhardswald was designated for destruction by the state in order to clear the way for a massive wind power plant development.

"Wind power plant development".  So you're going to clear-cut a forest that is the pride of the local region, renowned for it's beauty, has old growth timber that you just might need to repair some of the historic buildings in Germany, and that has sparked intense opposition across the entire political spectrum, in order to throw up some wind turbines?

Folks, this destruction was done on purpose.  It was done to destroy something beautiful.  It was done to injure the local population, who sees the irreplaceable loss of something that they love.  It was done to force "green" energy down the throats of people who quite frankly don't want it and understand that it's not reliable or "green" in any way shape or form.

When you see beauty being destroyed, rest assured that it's not an accident.  It's being done on purpose.

Sigh

 No, I'm not surprised.  At this point I'm not even shocked any more.

The Biden administration is set to fund the distribution of crack pipes to drug addicts as part of its plan to advance "racial equity."

The $30 million grant program, which closed applications Monday and will begin in May, will provide funds to nonprofits and local governments to help make drug use safer for addicts. Included in the grant, which is overseen by the Department of Health and Human Services, are funds for "smoking kits/supplies." A spokesman for the agency told the Washington Free Beacon that these kits will provide pipes for users to smoke crack cocaine, crystal methamphetamine, and "any illicit substance."

Keep in mind that the government would prefer a country of crackheads and drug addicts than free thinking individuals with clear heads. 

Stupid games

 So....   I currently live in Utah right now.  For those who don't know, you cannot order any kind of tobacco and have it shipped to Utah.  It's against state law.  Same with alcohol, which pissed off my boss because he and his wife like to join a "wine of the month" club and get a different bottle of wine to try every month.

So my work-around, because I like cigars and I refuse to pay 10-15 dollars a stick, was to get a Post Office box right across the border in Evanston, Wyoming.  And that works pretty well, especially since good booze is cheaper in Wyoming than it is in Utah, so when the wife wants her Laphroaig, we head to Wyoming.

Now I told y'all that to tell you this.

I ordered my cigars on the 17th.  Most mail order cigar places are based out of Pennsylvania somewhere because PA doesn't tax cigars.  If it's not PA, it's Florida.  Anyways, my package was shipped from Pennsylvania on the 18th.  Where it promptly sat in Philadelphia for a couple days.  And then got sent to Salt Lake City.  

So far so good.  The main mail route to Wyoming comes through SLC.

It then went to Jackson, Wyoming.  That's problem #1.  Evanston is about 80 miles away from where I am.  Jackson is over 200 miles away.

So they drove past Evanston with my cigars to get to Jackson, whereupon someone there went "Verily, this box belongeth not here!" and shipped it back to SLC.  So this box has literally driven past my house twice, but it can't be delivered because Utah is retarded.  So it finally gets to the post office in Evanston on the 23rd.

At 11:29 PM.

And the post office was closed on the 24th.  And obviously on Christmas.  And Sundays.  Which means I'll be able to pick up my cigars this evening after work.  Ten days after I ordered them, and nine days after they shipped (by Priority mail!).

You want to know the worst part?  If I had them shipped UPS, they would have taken longer.  Trust me.  I know this from experience.

Crap like this is why I can't wait to retire and move back to a state that doesn't have it's head shoved up it's ass.  You can literally get medical marijuana shipped to your door in Utah, but not good cigars.  What.  The.  Actual.  Fuck?

Anyways, I'll have my cigars tonight.  But I'm going to be letting the post office know that they need to unfuck themselves.

If you actually do an "armed march", you are an idiot.

 

If you actually show up at your state capitol, ARMED, after all the bullshit that's happened, I really don't know what to say to you.  Any bullshit like that is an ambush at best.  It's folly.  It's stupidity.  There's not one single beneficial thing that will come from crap like that.  Show up, protest, yes.  Announcing that you're armed?  After the total freakout in D.C.?  Bad juju.  

I'm not saying there's not a time to do a show of force.  But right now all you would accomplish is putting yourself in danger, with ZERO return on investment.

Good-bye, Birx, you hack. Don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya.

 Whine, whine, whine, you stupid moron.  You're the one who got caught being a flaming hypocrite while you helped destroy this country.  I couldn't care less how much abuse you've taken online, or through phone calls, or however people are expressing their rage to you.  It still isn't one-hundredth of the abuse people have taken because of your actions in shutting down this country, shutting down their businesses, shutting down their families, while the politically-connected "elites" like you make a mockery of the rules you've used to ruin the non-politically-connected people's lives.

Public humiliation is the least that these people need to suffer.  Birx is gone, good riddance to bad rubbish.  That fucking clown Fauci needs to be next.

And this is why Democrats keep getting elected, and re-elected

Because there are people out there so stupid and moronic that they can't tell the difference between the national flag of Norway, and the "Confederate" flag.  Which wasn't the confederate flag to begin with, but a personal battle flag.  And none of that really matters, because neither the actual Confederate Flag nor the battle flag of the Army of Northern Virginia look anything like the national flag of Norway.  But again, people are stupid and ignorant, which is why Democrats keep getting elected and re-elected.  And this story comes out of Lansing, Michigan.  Lots of Democrats there.

If the DNC is a toxic dumpster fire of anti-Americanism

The GOP is a toxic dumpster fire of stupidity and greed.

At some point, if Republicans can’t provide a bold alternative, we need to ask: Why even have a Republican Party? Republicans talk tough against the Democrats whenever it doesn’t matter, but every time the ball is actually in play to pass major legislation during our most challenging moments, they sign on to whatever the Democrats want.

Donald Trump seems to be one of the few people in Washington D.C. who actually care about Normal Americans.  Which is why he's President, and the usual GOP clown car failed.

The GOP is still in the grip of the same losers who tried to foist Jeb! on us.  Pathetic, sniveling, craven pieces of shit who do whatever the Democrats want them to do, and it's infuriating.

We needed adults with backbones during this crisis.  We have wet, limp, brainless tapeworms.

If we get through this, it'll be because President Trump once again dragged the GOP to victory.

Yep

Criminal defense attorneys must be dancing around the courtrooms today because they know that many prospective jurors are never going to believe anything an FBI agent says on the stand.

Thanks Comey, McCabe, etc.

You did this.

You destroyed the FBI's reputation.

I got nuthin' to top that.

Democrats gonna Democrat

Democrats who control Flint, MI, withdraw contract from company who won lowest bid, award it to politically connected cronies who aren't even qualified to do the job.

For the second time, the city of Flint, Michigan, is poised to reject the results of its contract bidding process after an experienced local firm provided the lowest offer. 

“This is unethical, it is bid rigging, and I certainly won’t be a part of this,” city Councilwoman Eva Worthing said during a Tuesday meeting. “Does council and the city want to deal with a lawsuit over unfair bidding practices by this city? This is favoritism, cronyism … This is basically a sham, it’s unethical, and if council votes [to rescind this contract we signed], we’re in trouble.”

So the people of Flint are going to wait even longer to have their lead pipes replaced, and it won't be done right, meaning that there's going to be even more problems.

And the people of Flint keep voting for these assholes.

I'm at the point where I'm saying that the people of Flint deserve whatever happens to them.  If you're unwilling to vote out the fucktards that keep making everything worse at every turn, then maybe the boo-hooing can be ignored.  Some towns are shitholes because their filled with stupid people who keep voting for shitty people who impose shitty laws and shitty conditions.

Kinda like Los Angeles and San Francisco.

And Flint.

So, I don't have a TV...

I don't have a facebook account, and I deleted my Twitter account.  So it wasn't until I had logged on to the intartubes today that I found out that Chiquita Kruschev had oped up her ignorant pie-hole and blurted out yet another bushel of stupidity.  While I had a bunch of words to say about that, I'll let Steven Crowder do that instead.



You know what?  I take it back.  I have no words for what kind of stupidity it takes to compare American border security to Nazi Germany.

Last I checked, people were crossing the border to get IN to this country.

Say what you will about the most rabid of Trump fans...

They're not worshipping the guy.

Former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke officially launched his candidacy for the Democratic nomination by declaring to Vanity Fair he is "just born to be in it." And his supporters seem to have picked up on the "chosen one" undertones already, with a sign at a Saturday night rally in Austin glorying, "BETO IS OUR CHRIST."

How in the hell can you debate what amounts to these people's RELIGION?

They did the same thing to Obama.  They worshipped the ground he walked on.  Every mumbling stutter that dribbled from his lips like the limp dicks he used to suck for cocaine was treated as if it were the answer to life, the universe, and everything.

Maybe there are people out there calling Trump their "Christ".  I haven't seen them.  Trump isn't a religious figure to the people who voted for him.  I've said this before:  Trump is one gigantic middle finger, from the Normal Americans to the Deep State swamp dwellers.  He's not a God, he's a weapon.

Expect a whole shit ton of stupidity in the 2020 race.  Good Lord, will there be stupidity from the Left.  We can see it now.  It's going to get worse.

Need more proof?

Amid her zeal to save the world with the Green New Deal, Rep. ­Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has ­ignored residents in her own Bronx back yard. 

“I thought AOC would be our savior, but that’s not the case,” complained Roxanne Delgado, a local activist who said she has tried for months to get in touch with the congresswoman for help saving an animal shelter and to clean up parks in the district

"I thought AOC would be our savior"  Imagine just how dumb, how stupid, how utterly ignorant and out of touch you have to be, to think that a know-nothing socialist is going to be your savior.  It's slack-jawed retards voting in googly-eyed retards, and the entire country is worse off as a result.

How to be a shitty parent, forever

Start by naming your daughter "Abcde".  Apparently it's pronounced "Ab-City".  But you know what?  If you cannot give your child a name that doesn't need to be explained every single time it's used, then you're the problem.

If you have to say "It's pronounced....." after every time you introduce your child, you're a failure as a parent. 

Reminds me of a story I heard from someone who was working in a hospital.  This medical professional took one look at the name, said "Nope, can't say that", and used his last name to call him in the ER.  "Mr. Williams?"  Only "Mr. Williams" was a teenager, and his mother was there.  And his mother didn't like this lady using his last name.  Nope.  Took umbrage with it, in fact.  Got all pissy, because the first name wasn't being used.  So mama stands up, looks at this medical professional, and spits out "It's Sha-THEED!"  Yeah.  Shatheed.  Only it wasn't spelled Shatheed, it was spelled Shithead.

This dumb ass woman named her son Shithead.  Pronounced ShaTHEED.  I'm betting her name was LaQuantia or something moronic like that.

Every time I think "Oh, nobody can be THAT stupid" a Democrat proves me wrong.

Alexandria Occasional-Cortex, the googly-eyed socialist from New York, doesn't know what the three branches of government are.

Ladies and gentlemen, I cannot tell you just how appropriate I think it is for a part of New York City to be represented by someone with the intelligence of a rusty lunchbox.

Not really news, but still worth posting: Gummit fucked up again

All their weeping and wailing about cholesterol?  Yeah, they were wrong.

A comprehensive new study on cholesterol, based on results from more than a million patients, could help upend decades of government advice about diet, nutrition, health, prevention, and medication. Just don't hold your breath. 

The study, published in the Expert Review of Clinical Pharmacology, centers on statins, a class of drugs used to lower levels of LDL-C, the so-called "bad" cholesterol, in the human body. According to the study, statins are pointless for most people. 

"No evidence exists to prove that having high levels of bad cholesterol causes heart disease, leading physicians have claimed" in the study, reports the Daily Mail. The Expresslikewise says the new study finds "no evidence that high levels of 'bad' cholesterol cause heart disease."

My mom liked to point out that her father died with a cholesterol count somewhere between 300-400....  at the age of 93.  Grand-dad was Italian, and he ate his pasta and drank his wine and chowed down on olives and steaks and the like.  He also stayed busy, worked constantly and never allowed himself to develop a gut.  (Well, no more than any man in his 70s or 80s has.  But he was never fat.)

Getting up and moving is what keeps you healthy.  EATING REAL FOOD is what keeps you healthy.  All of the hysterical whining about diet from the government was followed by what?  The obesity epidemic. 

The government couldn't run a whore-house and make a profit.  Why the hell does anyone think they have a better understanding of nutrition?

My new name for that Socialist wackjob out of NYC

Is "Gulag Barbie".

Socialism is about taking your stuff and your freedom and killing you if you complain. They try to pass it off as just Liberalism 2.0, but then you usually don’t call something by a name unless you mean it. If they don’t mean “socialism,” why do they call themselves “socialists?”

This ignorant little girl, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, went from hopeful capitalist to hard-core socialist in just a couple of years.  Amazingly in that time, she went from rather good-looking woman to pinch-faced Marxist shrew, and I agree that it wasn't all on her own.  This girl is the lighter-skinned, female Obama, without having her entire background locked away. 

Someone with deep knowledge of what expensive make-up can do to remake a human visage into something very different from the au naturel version went to work on her.  In tandem with her transformation from nerd to a female Che Guevara, she morphed from capitalist to membership in a party that wants to “abolish profit.” 

Ever since an iconic photograph of Che Guevara was enough to cover-up and glamorize a murderous thug who made a point of watching his opponents executed by firing squad, the puppet masters of the radical left have understood the value of a dramatic and glamorous picture in brainwashing young skulls full of mush. 

I don’t know who got ahold of young Ms. Ocasio Cortez and paid for the makeover, but it was someone who understands the manipulation of the “masses” (as they describe their targeted dupes) very well.

She's going to be dangerous, because she's not in control.  Someone else is.  Someone else is spending a great deal of time and money to make sure she wins her election, and I'm willing to bet they won't stop with the Bronx.

FBI was warned about school shooter last month, and did nothing

TOP.  MEN.

The FBI said Friday that a month before the shooting rampage at a South Florida high school, the bureau received a warning that the 19-year-old charged in the massacre might carry out such an attack — but then investigators failed to act on it. 

The startling revelation came two days after police say Nikolas Cruz marched into his former high school and gunned down 17 people. In a statement, the FBI said it received a tip last month from “a person close to Nikolas Cruz” reporting concerns about him, specifically saying that he could potentially carry out a school shooting. 

While this should have been investigated “as a potential threat to life …  these protocols were not followed,” the bureau said in a statement.

Oh, and they were warned about Cruz's YouTube channel where he made similar threats, and again, did nothing.

But hey, they're all over the MUH RUSSIA thing!  Oh, and lying to Congress, and to the American people about the bullshit they were pulling over the 2016 election.

Failures of this magnitude normally require folks to be fired with prejudice in order to right the ship.

The Satanic Left, corrupting another institution

CNN Promotes Children's book showing Santa Clause married to another man.

Above a chyron that read, “Children’s Holiday Book Explores Race, Homosexuality,” New Day co-anchor Christi Paul declared the book a “fresh, new twist” and then appeared to lament the fact that “there are some families though, tsk, not so happy about the book’s maybe not so hidden agenda.”

The Left will not be happy until it destroys every last vestige of civilization, upon which time it will triumphantly mount the pile of ashes where we used to live, and plant their flag proclaiming that we are now all equal.

Some people just have to pee on the electric fence for themselves

Like the CEO of Camping World, who essentially told Trump supporters not to shop at his stores.

Serial entrepreneur Marcus Lemonis had some choice words on Wednesday about those who may support President Donald Trump's response to the violent white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. 

"There's no doubt that there is probably not many consumers in this country today that are in favor of what has been said in the last couple days and if they are, quite frankly, don't shop at my business," said Lemonis, who is CEO of Camping World and host of CNBC's "The Profit." 

In a chaotic Tuesday news conference, Trump appeared to equate torch-bearing white nationalists with the protesters who demonstrated against them.

Oh, Trump "appeared" to equate both sides?  You mean watching a group of black-masked thugs with shields and clubs beating people, rioting and destroying things, then calling that group culpable, is somehow bad?

I wonder if the CEO of Camping World bothered to take a look at his customer base before he blurted out his stupidity for the world to see....

As for me, there's a local shop around here called "Green Top" that the Mrs. and I prefer to spend our cash at rather than wasting it at a store run by some SJW who hates me.

Kind of in my backyard

Up North, anyway.  In that nebulous land they call "NoVa".  Which is completely ironic when you consider the story.

In the aftermath of the brutal beating and death of a teenage Muslim girl in Virginia, liberal activists and some civil rights organizations rushed to frame the killing as a hate crime. 

(.....) 

Already teetering, the narrative collapsed completely Tuesday, when new details about Torres’ background emerged in media reports. As it turns out, Torres allegedly killed Hassanen not because he didn’t “accept” Muslim Americans, but because he is a suspected gang member with a history of violence toward women. 

A week before Torres was arrested for the murder, he allegedly beat and sexually assaulted a Loudoun County woman, according to a Child Protective Services report shared with the Washington Post. The woman told emergency room staff that a man punched and kicked her in the presence of a child, and that the assailant, whom she declined to identify by name, was a member of the violent MS-13 street gang. 

Authorities were able to identify Torres as the attacker in that incident, following his arrest for Hassanen’s murder. As the WaPo article noted, the CPS report confirms that Torres has previously committed violent acts “unrelated to a hate crime motivation.”

So to whit - a violent illegal alien hispanic criminal gang-member thug who should have never been in this country to begin with beats a woman to death, and the Left is still trying to somehow make it Whitey's fault.

Raising the minimum wage makes people poorer

Yep.  And there's no way the Leftists can hide it now that they've enforced it in multiple cities.

Seattle's minimum-wage hike seems to have reduced low-wage workers' earnings by $1500 a year: https://t.co/zB3elfXWdJ

— Annie Lowrey (@AnnieLowrey) June 26, 2017

If you make it more expensive to hire and employ people, less people will be hired and employed.  The moment it's cheaper for a restaurant to buy a robot to do a person's job, they'll buy the robot.  Because in the end, if it's too expensive to have employees, you'll either completely automate or go out of business.

But most Leftists are so removed from economic reality that they cannot grasp this basic, fundamental fact.  But their Marxist professors in college said that raising the minimum wage is magic!  It makes jobs!  Out of thin air and unicorn farts!

The people who actually understand business, especially small businesses, knew that jacking up the minimum wage would be an economic disaster, especially for low-skilled labor.  But hey, now that people are losing their jobs and making less, the Left and once again turn and point and shriek about how evil those OTHER people are.
