And here's yet another example of why I don't trust the "experts"

 Because they're anything but actual experts.  Or, if they do actually happen to be experts in their field, they abandon their expertise in favor of whatever will get them political power.

Some of those first 40,000 dead would have died due to lack of knowledge of how to mitigate the risk and treat vulnerable people.  That sucks but was unavoidable since we did not know which pharmaceutical and nutritional agents were effective.

95% of the rest, and 95% of those who get the virus and die today are doing so as a direct result of intentional actions by State Governors, the President of the United States both past and present, the CDC, the NIH and every single so-called "public health" institution including the hospitals, teaching and research universities including but not limited to IHME, Vanderbilt, Johns Hopkins and countless more.

No matter how bad you think the government is, it's worse.  Far worse.  

Our government -- including Federal, State and Local officials, in concert with both the medical system and our alleged "public health" agencies deliberately spread disease and caused death for the last year, directly and through depraved indifference, killing approximately 400,000 Americans thus far and is killing thousands more every single day.  We knew how to stop the death in nursing homes in February of 2020 and we knew how to stop 95% of the deaths in the general population this summer using cheap and available nutritional supplements and off-patent medications.  Rather than fulfill their legal duty both by their oaths of office and in the case of non-profits and public health organizations the duties set forth in their charter and the reason for their tax exemptions they instead conspired with commercial interests to allow and even promote such death so as to inculcate fear in the population for the purpose of political, ideological and financial gain.

Do I think the government allowed people to die in order to get Orange Man Bad out of office?  Yes.  I also think that there were parts of the government that were too stupid and ignorant to read anything about the success stories regarding this virus, and how to duplicate them.  I also think that portions of the government are so ideologically blinded that if their God, Dr. Fauci, flip-flopped yet again and said that they all need to drink camel urine to prevent the Kung Flu, they would be on a plane to the Middle East to get it straight from the source.

At best - and I do mean the absolute best case scenario, our government was so worthless and stupid that it allowed hundreds of thousands of people to die because they couldn't figure out what when doctors used Ivermectin or Hydroxychloriquine and it worked, you should give that a try.  That's the absolute best case scenario - complete and utter incompetence.  

But I don't think they're that incompetent.

Thomas Sowell on Why the Left HATES the Nuclear Family Structure

I stole this from 90 Miles from Tyranny.  When you look at the actions of the left, if they seem incomprehensible to you it's because you probably grew up in a stable family, while they're trying to destabilize the family.  A stable, nuclear family is abhorrent to the Left, because it gets in the way of their control.  Hell, listen to Sowell explain it, he does a better job than I can.

Stinking to high heaven

 We have some neighbors who seem to truly enjoy their highly scented laundry detergent and fabric softener.  I don't know exactly what houses are the worst offenders, but I can smell them drying their laundry from two blocks away.

As a guy who doesn't use scented soap or any fabric softener at all, it kind of makes me gag.  Just the massive, chemical-soaked aroma is enough to drive me inside.

True words, alas

 "Alas, it would appear that the spine McConnell had from 2017-20 was merely on loan from Trump."

I keep coming back to something my friend and colleague Kira Davis has been saying a lot lately: the 74+ million Trump voters aren’t simply going to go away, so dismissing and ignoring us is futile. The Democrats haven’t gotten that at all since the election. They’re perpetually obtuse, so that’s understandable.

It’s a shame that McConnell doesn’t get it. He spent a few years giving us a glimpse of what he could be but, sadly, he is who we always thought he was.

Mitch McConnell was a worthless, backstabbing sack of shit prior to Trump.  He was forced to actually do what the GOP voters wanted him to do not out of some sense of duty or obligation to the actual voters, but because he would lose his status as Majority leader if he didn't.  And now that Trump is gone, he's reverted right back to the same spineless swamp-dwelling piece of walking garbage that he was prior to Trump's election.

I expect the same from quite a few of the RINO Uni-Party shitstains.  Of course, Romney is nothing but a huge ego in an expensive suit with no convictions other than what gives him more inside-the-beltway status, but people in Utah are already trying to get him recalled.

I did not know this

 But I do now.

John Moses Browning receives the patent for his newest automatic pistol, chambered in a 45 caliber.  Yep.  The 1911.

Saint Valentine's Day

 A little historical context.

Valentine became famous for marrying couples who were in love but couldn’t get legally married in Rome during the reign of Emperor Claudius II, who outlawed weddings. Claudius wanted to recruit lots of men to be soldiers in his army and thought that marriage would be an obstacle to recruiting new soldiers. He also wanted to prevent his existing soldiers from getting married because he thought that marriage would distract them from their work. 

When Emperor Claudius discovered that Valentine was performing weddings, he sent Valentine to jail. Valentine used his time in jail to continue to reach out to people with the love that he said Jesus Christ gave him for others. 

He befriended his jailer, Asterious, who became so impressed with Valentine’s wisdom that he asked Valentine to help his daughter Julia with her lessons. Julia was blind and needed someone to read material for her to learn it. Valentine then became friends with Julia through his work with her when she came to visit him in jail. 

Emperor Claudius also came to like Valentine. He offered to pardon Valentine and set him free if Valentine would renounce his Christian faith and agree to worship the Roman gods. Not only did Valentine refuse to leave his faith, he also encouraged Emperor Claudius to place his trust in Christ. Valentine’s faithful choices cost him his life. Emperor Claudius was so enraged at Valentine’s response that he sentenced Valentine to die. 

Before he was killed, Valentine wrote a last note to encourage Julia to stay close to Jesus and to thank her for being his friend. He signed the note: “From your Valentine.” That note inspired people to begin writing their own loving messages to people on Valentine’s Feast Day, February 14th, which is celebrated on the same day on which Valentine was martyred. 

Valentine was beaten, stoned, and beheaded on February 14, 270. People who remembered his loving service to many young couples began celebrating his life, and he came to be regarded as a saint through whom God had worked to help people in miraculous ways. By 496, Pope Gelasius designated February 14th as Valentine’s official feast day.

Just a little reminder.

If I actually watched Disney Plus, I'd cancel it

 

And I have a feeling that most of the folks who stop by this humble little blog don't do Disney Plus either.  But if you do, what reason do you have to keep paying the Devil Mouse?  Gina Carano just told the truth, and they fired her for it, because Devil Mouse is run by radical Marxist pedophiles.  Stop giving them money.  They hate you.  They want you to die.  Don't help them in their goals.

This isn't just stupidity, this is anti-white racism codified in the university system

 Cambridge University Panel says that Winston Churchill was a racist and the British Empire was worse than the Nazis.

A Cambridge University panel of academics discussing wartime Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s legacy concluded that the leader who helped defeat Hitler was actually a “white supremacist” and was leading an empire “worse than the Nazis”.

The London Telegraph reports that the inflammatory comments were made during a discussion titled “Racial Consequences of Mr Churchill”.

Ironically, the event was taking place at the Churchill College, named in honour of the former Prime Minister.

Let's check out some of these names, shall we?

Kehinde Andrews

Onyeka Nubia

Madhusree Mukerjee

Priyamvada Gopal

Notice anything about these names?  If Hitler and the Nazis had won the WWII, these people would still be living in mud huts, shitting in open sewage pits and chasing antelopes with sticks.  Priyamvada Gopal would be nothing more than some man's property, popping out as many kids as possible before dying at a young age.  None of them would be allowed in Berlin, or any part of civilized society.  And that would be the BEST CASE SCENARIO.  The worst case?  They would be slaves for the Reich, or food for the camps.

But Hitler didn't win.  Because of Churchill.

This is why civilization dies.  Because the people who benefit from it are too fucking stupid to understand why it should survive, or why it needs to be defended.  So they attack it from the inside.

More "it made me giggle" stuff

 For those who remember the movie....

Is this blasphemous?

 Maybe, but it made me giggle.

Democrat Andrew Cuomo killed more people and then lied about it.

 This is my shocked face.  Who knew that Granny-Killer Cuomo would lie about the massive numbers of dead people he's responsible for?

Governor Cuomo's top aide privately apologized to Democratic lawmakers for withholding the state's nursing-home death toll from COVID-19 -- telling them "we froze" out of fear the true numbers would "be used against us" by federal prosecutors, The Post has learned.

He'll never be prosecuted, of course.  Democrats never face punishment for their crimes, because Democrats control the legal system in ways that will take decades to root out, if ever.  And I say "if ever" because I don't think people are ready to do what actually needs to be done.

Rope.  Tree.  Democrat.  Some assembly required.

I would go with a firing squad, but I want the bodies of the corrupt, murdering Democrat bastards to hang until they fall apart, as a warning for all the other corrupt, murdering Democrats out there.  Firing squads are brutal, but short.  Bang bang bang and it's over.  Hanging, and leaving the bodies swaying in the breeze for the crows and vultures?  That leaves a long-lasting impression.  

31 reasons why I won't take the vaccine

 A rabbi created this list about why he won't take the vaccine.  I think a couple of his points could have been combined, but it's a good list, and I might just print it out and hand it to my chain of command.

People are getting dumber

 It's a scientific fact.

Recent studies have reported a worrisome decline in IQ scores in Western nations over the last decades, a reversal of the once-hopeful Flynn Effect (named after the late philosopher and psychologist James R. Flynn) which posited a growth in cognitive abilities for much of the 20th Century. Now the Flynn Effect seems to have reversed, leading to predictions of a general dumbing down of selective populations. Other studies report that IQ erosion is not confined to this century but that IQ has dropped by an average of 14.1 percent over the last century. As Evan Horowitz writes for NBC News, “A range of studies using a variety of well-established IQ tests and metrics have found declining scores across Scandinavia, Britain, Germany, France and Australia.”

Don't think that America is left out of that mess.  My contemporaries joke about sliding into the movie Idiocracy, but it's becoming less and less of a joke with every passing day.

The reasons?  Hell, there's a bunch of them, but we can start with the publik skool sistim, a cesspool of everything that is wrong with this country, that we feed our children into, and watch them come out as uneducated, indoctrinated, perverted imp-like dopplegangers of what they should be.

Look at who we allow in to this country.  Do they help us, or do they hurt us?  Here's a hint - if we have to support them for years after they get here, they ain't helping us.

Read the whole thing.

OUTFUCKINGSTANDING!

 Utah goes permit-less.

Governor Spencer Cox (R.) will sign legislation into law this week to eliminate the permit requirement, his spokeswoman told the Washington Free Beacon on Tuesday. The act will allow any law-abiding person over the age of 21 to carry a gun under his or her clothes while in the state. Convicted felons, those adjudicated mentally ill, and other people prohibited from owning a gun are excluded from the policy.

I have a feeling that the vast majority of people who actually seek out a permit live in the Salt Lake City area.  Get away from the metro, and people tend to think less of government permission.

Mark Cuban is an ChiCom-owned asshole, and I never watched the NBA to begin with.

 Apparently the Chi-Coms don't want the American National Anthem played at NBA games any more.

The Mavericks have played 13 pre-season and regular season games at home in Dallas without playing the anthem. There was no discussion or internal organization announcement, and Cuban confirmed he made the decision. He has declined further comment.

Cuban has criticized Americans who want to see the National Anthem respected, and not used for political protests at sports games. Cuban tweeted a shot last year at the “The National Anthem Police,” saying that if critics of the anthem protests had a problem with it they could “complain to your boss and ask why they don’t play the National Anthem every day before you start work.”

Fuck the NBA in general and fuck the Dallas Mavericks specifically, and Mark Cuban can die screaming and spend eternity getting gang-raped by Chinese midgets in Mao jackets.

There are no words to properly express my disgust at what a pathetic group of anti-American bastards the NBA has become.

Joe Biden got booed at the Super Bowl?

 Couldn't happen to a nicer fraud.  Not that Slow China Joe is ever going to know, as he taped his little speech, which means he wasn't there, and there's no way his puppet masters are going to tell him.

The Democrat Party allowed thousands upon thousands of people to die, all in order to gain political power

 Never forget that fact.

We paid another horrific price for listening to the medical establishment, the colluding media, Democratic governors and others on the left. We have killed much of our economy; robbed tens of millions of Americans of their livelihoods; quite possibly put the dollar on the road to near-worthlessness; perhaps ensured future inflation that will further destroy the well-being of the American people; and sent innumerable Americans spiraling into depression, drug and alcohol use, spousal and child abuse, and suicide.

In a sane world, Anthony Fauci would be out of a job at the very least, and sitting in a jail cell for the rest of his life if I had my way.

Just remember that the government is filled with people who's only goal is to control you.

 They lied, and then they lied, and then they lied again.

They will never drop their mandates and demands.  Ever.  That is what you heard.  If you allow this to continue for as little as one more day both you and your kids are ****ed.  President Biden does not care, Fauci does not care, your Governor does not care and your mayor does not care.  They've been running bull**** on you continually since last March.

Get that through your thick head right now.

They know damn well that what they're jabbing you with does not stop the virus.  They also know the masks don't stop the virus either because they have proof in the numbers on top of 40 years of hard science and dozens of years of physics that made clear the claim was flatly impossible. The CDC's director said under oath that if we just wore masks for six or eight weeks in September that the virus would be and remain under control.

Redfield and the CDC lied; the big spike came after the eight+ weeks he prescribed during which damn near the entire nation was under a mask mandate.  He knew what he claimed would work couldn't.  He lied and your Grandmother died.

The only thing the government has done during this pandemic is make things worse, and destroy the country while they lie to your face about masks and social distancing and you can't go outside because "science".

I need to remember that I pay good money for the good stuff so that I don't have to buy it again later

 For example, shoes.  I pay good money for shoes.  First, I have jacked up feet and knees courtesy of my first hitch in the Army, and crappy shoes damn near cripple me after a day of walking or working in them.  Second, when I buy a good pair of shoes, I expect them to last me for years.  I'll get them re-soled and wear them until the leather disintegrates.  

Clothing - I have motorcycle gear that I purchased back in 2001 that's still functional and in good condition.  My leather jacket has a few spots on the elbows that are showing some wear, but I keep the leather clean, I oil it, I treat it well, and it keeps working for me.  I paid good money for the stuff back in 2001, but when you spend money for the good gear it lasts you for two decades or longer.

And yesterday, in accordance with the wishes of my dear wife, we now have cross-country skis.  We got an excellent deal on them.  We got good deals on everything we bought, to be honest.  And we got the good skis, and the good boots.  These should last us for decades.

I'm done spending money for a month.

Got stuff to do

 

See ya.

Still can't embed Rumble

But this is a two hour documentary about how the election was stolen.

The video got pulled from YouTube.  It got axed from a couple other liberal social media sites.  The people who spent years claiming that Russia stole the 2016 election are now destroying anyone who says that the 2020 election was stolen.  

We all know it was stolen.

Yes, it was rigged. You knew it was rigged. I knew it was rigged. EVERYBODY KNEW IT WAS RIGGED!

 And the sleazy fuckers are admitting it now.

What is described in the entire story has nothing to do with democracy or the consent of the governed. Instead, it represents a bargain between unions, corporations, activist groups, and the political elite. It is a precursor to the triumvirate of unions, big business, and the government becoming more evident every day. Put another way, the political elite, the very wealthy, the bureaucracy, and those willing to subsidize struck a bargain.

When oppressed people burn everything to the ground, the people behind Biden will be to blame.

Dave Portnoy wins the internets again

 This dude has done more to help small businesses than Joe Biden ever dreamed of doing, back when he could actually dream of more than pudding and oatmeal.

And yeah, it's a link to Twitter, because that's what Portnoy uses, so if I want to show his vids I have to use his platform.  

Alexandria Ocasio-Smollet

Friggin' perfect.  Not only is the dumb bartender from Westchester lying through her freakishly large teeth in order to get attention regarding the January 6th protests, but she has to denigrate the Capitol Police who was there to help her. 

And the Democrat media, desperate for any new items to attack the Right, didn't bother to check one single bit of her fabrication before running with it for all they've got.

Is it Groundhog Day again?

 Yep, same corruptocrats doing what they do.  Again.  

When the Second Civil War comes, these same people will be the ones who don't understand why.

Don't worry, the gummint will get to Option #3 in due time

 You Deplorables you!  

If you don't understand that the Democrats are coming up with ways to try out #3 on you, you're wrong.

Just in case you needed a little anger to start your day.

 

Enemies of the State vs. Enemies of the People

 I think we all know which side we're on.

A house divided against itself cannot long stand, but if there is to be a truce it will not come from submission, but from a recognition that all people are created equal, that they all have certain inalienable rights, and that among those are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Those words were worth fighting for once. Are they worth fighting for today?

We can hope...

Harsh truth

 Found over at Adrienne's place, who linked to this fine rant by Karl Denniger.

But do keep this in mind folks -- no matter what "mitigating actions" were taken -- masks, no masks, closing businesses, not closing them, etc -- the epidemic curve and infections were not stopped.  At best they were stretched out over a longer period of time but the same number of people got it.  You flattened businesses, you killed children who committed suicide, you cost them a year of education which they will never back and will **** them for life and you screamed like little scared children rather than look at the data. You refuse to accept that but for your voluntary actions the risk of Covid-19 death is equal to that which you take willingly every six months by using automobiles and that if you have personally made lifestyle decisions that put you at higher risk there are mitigating things you can do cut the risk of a bad outcome that go well beyond simply sitting at home while coughing your lungs out and eating chicken soup.  Further, you were all told that 80% of the population had to get this bug or be vaccinated to reach herd suppression and yet there is not a single place on the planet, say much less in America, where even if you count every alleged "positive" as real -- and we know 2/3rds or more are not -- the infected rate is materially into the teens yet both illness and hospitalization are falling off a cliff so suppression has clearly been reached.

Do go read it all.  Whatever you think about the government response to the Kung Flu, the truth is their actions are actually far worse than your worse estimates.

Masks are bullshit. Masks don't work. Being forced to wear a mask by the government as a psychotic control mechanism.

 MASK.  DO.  NOT.  WORK.

Read it.  Pass it around.  Stop calmly accepting being forced to wear a disgusting piece of cloth over your face just because some politician says so.

Been busy today

 The Mrs. got saddlebags for her bike.  We started that job yesterday, finished it today.  Also, new windshield.  Again, started that job yesterday, finished it today.  Had running around to do.  Got it done.  Things to purchase. They're purchased and stored.  And finally, a good long three hour ride, because what's the point of putting all that crap on a bike if you don't ride it afterwards?

Then back home.  More chores.  Got stuff done.  Now dinner.  

Maybe posting tomorrow.  Scotch now.  No posts with scotch, because then I say what I really think and get banned by Google, who is evil and pestilent and horrible.

Here's a quote for ya

 Based on some various show:

"He would allow you to die for him.  Would he ever die for you?"

Now apply that to our government.

Ragin' Dave's Quote of the Day, the So-Called Elites edition

 Shot:  

"The secret of the elites is that they're not all that smart so they need the deck stacked to continue the illusion that they are elite at all."

- Rob Peffer

Chaser:

This display of spontaneous group power by a bunch of previous unknowns has frightened the Really Smart People™ and led to reactions that will make things worse, not better. Some discount brokers started displaying warnings and limiting trades. Discord, a popular online chat service used by the r/wallstreetbets group, shut down the group’s service, offering the usual contemporary excuse that the group was engaged in “hate speech” and “spreading disinformation.” Uh-huh.

(.....)

The freakout by our betters is real. Ironically, all the Really Smart People™ would have to do to make the problem go away is to stop throwing their weight around, stop condescending and start treating their fellow Americans as fellow citizens worthy of respect. At least, that’s what they would do, if they were actually really smart.

And this is why I won't really care all that much when it all burns down around them.

And More:

It’s likely not any evil manipulation scheme, but ordinary people acting — out of self-interest, but also out of sheer enthusiasm for one of the best reasons to do just about anything, because you can — on a few simple, powerful observations.

They’ve seen first that our markets are basically fake, set up to artificially accelerate the wealth divide, and not in their favor. Secondly they see that the stock market, like the ballot box, remains one of the only places where sheer numbers still matter more than capital or connections. And they’re piling on, and it’s delicious, not so much because they’re right, but because the people running for cover are so wrong, and still can’t admit it.

Buy the ticket, take the ride, nitwits. If you earned anything, it’s this.

The Uni-Party protects its own

 Shit like this is a huge part of the reason why reddit was screwing with a hedge fund in the first place.  And it's about to get worse.

If all that looks like market manipulation — locking buyers out from purchasing a stock with their own money and of their own free will, therefore causing a price to fall, and helping shore up an overleveraged hedge fund with serious political connections, while telling ordinary people they’d done something they hadn’t — well, you’re not in the uniparty.

Robinhood billed itself as a people’s platform, a way the poor could buy fractional stocks and trade their way into a bit of riches. But it may be that Robinhood has been unmasked as the sheriff of a rotten, rigged system.

The politically connected are allowed to get rich by fucking around on Wall Street, but everybody else can eat a dick?  And the new Treasury Secretary has her fingers in the cookie jar, but she's blocking everyone else from succeeding?  Great message there, dipshits.

According to RealClearPolitics, this move came after Yellen was reportedly “on the phone all day Wednesday talking to key players involved in all aspects of the scandal.”

She has been paid more than $800,000 in speaking fees by Citadel, the hedge fund that bailed out one of the biggest losers in the GameStop buying spree.

But Psaki, responding to a reporter’s question about Yellen’s possible recusal, wouldn’t say one way or the other.

Crap like this is causing people to decide to simply burn everything down.  And I can't really say I blame them.  Credentialed "elites" have been having their way, but when Joe Sixpack does it he gets smacked down?  That puts the whole concept of a free market and a free country as a lie.  Lots of folks been red-pilled this past few weeks.  And I don't know one single person who's worth $800,000 for a speech, or even a bunch of speeches.  Citadel doesn't give a shit about what Janet Yellen had to say, they wanted ACCESS TO POLITICAL POWER, and it looks like they got what they paid for.  Pay to play, baby!  The entire system is corrupt, and it's being exposed in ways it never thought could happen.

I'm popping corn, and waiting for the buildings to start falling down.

When I see how a Reddit forum is hurting Wall Street?

 "We can stay retarded longer than they can stay solvent."  Just fucking awesome.

Taking billions out of the market and bankrupting people is only something hedge fund managers get to do, not you people in your underwear trading at home. Duh.

Redditors are posting what they’re going to do with their winnings. #Billions is trending on Twitter.

The people who love to manipulate the market and cause other people to lose their life savings are upset that someone else figured out how to manipulate the market and cause them to lose their money.  Fuck 'em.

I say "No" on a third party

 You kick the shitbags out of the GOP.  Why rebuild what you need, when you can take over an already-existing structure?

Look at the GOP just five years ago and look at it today. Yeah, we have the rump Renfield contingent with tiresome goofs like Mitt (R?-Miracle Whip). We have others who alternate between establishment-curious moderate wimpiness and coming through for us at many key junctures – Susan Collins, Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham. But look at what we don’t have – Jeff Flake is gone. Jeb! is a flabby footnote. And as hard as Nikki! is trying to make herself happen, she’s not happening. The GOP has shifted our way – on wars, on culture, on tech, on playing to win. We have earned the support of Americans of all races in unprecedented numbers because we have focused on people who – remember this? – work hard and play by the rules. That’s progress. Not enough, not nearly, but to deny the progress because you are angry only empowers the people you are angry at. We can’t throw out what we have already achieved simply because we have much more work to do. Take the W, people.

Romney will be going when his time is up.  He's going to get primaried, trust me.  More importantly, hit the GOP at the local level, kick the bums who support the RINOs, and watch the RINOs die off.

Rather academic, but informative

 I love this quote:  Energy is the messenger, momentum is the message.  

It also helps explain why the 45 ACP is still so popular a cartridge.  Yes, it's slow.  But it's also heavy, which means that the power expressed on the target is much more than the 9mm.  Don't get me wrong, I enjoy both calibers, but for different reasons.  

When it all boils down, energy=massXvelocity.  Physics never lies.

I used to play the tenor sax

 I was never very good at it, but I wanted to play it.  And this song is a big part of the reason why.

This isn't just cognitive dissonance, this is brain damage.

 Woman who shut down her business because of crushing taxes still supports Bernie Sanders.  Here's part one, a normal complaint:

“People have been contacting me thinking that they can get mittens, and actually, they can’t,” Vermont school teacher Jen Ellis said about the mittens that Sanders wore on Inauguration Day, adding that high taxes drove her out of business.

“I don’t have any more, and I don’t have much of a mitten business anymore because it really wasn’t worth it,” she continued. “Independent crafters get really taken for a ride by the federal government. We get taxed to the nth degree, and it wasn’t really worth it pursuing that as a business, even as a side hustle.”

And here is where my head hit the desk.

Still, despite Sanders’s strident support for raising taxes, including on the middle class, to pay for "Medicare for all," Ellis says she supports the senator.

“I’m also super pro-Bernie and as a public school teacher, I can see every day how families are struggling,” she said. “People are just trying to make ends meet, and they need things like student loan forgiveness and free education and a lot of the things that Bernie is fighting for.”

I no longer bother to ask how someone cannot see cause and effect.  The fact that she's a teacher means she's most likely a Marxist, indoctrinating our students and turning their brains into mush so that she churns out identical copies of herself, unable to think critically, unable to use logic, and unable to follow a chain of events to determine the cause.

She shut down her side hustle because of "crushing taxes", but still supports Bernie and his socialist bullshit utopia.  Which means she's not smart enough to put two and two together, or she's so narcissistic that she doesn't care how many other businesses get crushed, she wants her free shit.

Sorry for the lack of posting

 I'm on day 9 in a row at this point, and my brain functions are not up to par when I wake up, and I'm getting home late.  So enjoy some photos

And as a counter to my pessimism

 Never give up.  The battle is not yours.

We don’t know now what victory will look like. We may look up and see only storm clouds on the horizon, dark, terrifying thunderheads that hide the light.

At moments like these, it is important to recall the life of King Jehoshaphat.

You'll have to go read the rest.

The bill to destroy America

 If this passes, there will be a hot civil war far sooner than.  Take every bad thing from the coup of 2020 and federalize it, codify it, and make it the law of the land.  You'll have people voting in Texas from the state of California and there won't be anything you can do about it.  Voter fraud?  It was cranked up to 11 last year, and they'll break that knob off and send it into the stratosphere.

In an odd way, I almost welcome it.  This country is a shambling corpse with no brain and no hope, so it might be best to just have the Democrat Marxists make their power grab so the fight can start while I'm young enough to fight in it, rather than leave it for the next generation to deal with.

Some thoughts from a National Guard Soldier at the Capitol right now.

 I'm guessing he's either a senior NCO or junior officer based how he describes things.

Last night I saw probably 2000 riot-prepared soldiers unload from buses and enter the perimeter. This level of military involvement surpasses overreaction, skips past overkill, and pegs “insane.” Whoever ordered this response is completely out of touch with reality.

Well, that describes pretty much everyone in Washington D.C., so there you go.  I should start calling it Capitol City.  We can squabble about what District we're in later.  If you don't get the reference, go borrow your kids (or niece/nephew's) copy of The Hunger Games.  Don't worry, you only need to watch the first one.

May I just say, if you had any respect for the FBI or any belief that it was not a fully partisan organization, you were completely wrong. If there was any “credible intelligence” that there was enough of a threat to require 20,000 national guard troops at the Capitol this past week, then the FBI is completely failing. The fact that the alleged credible evidence was clearly inaccurate tells me that I should not ever trust the FBI with anything I would give a 19-year-old soldier…

The FBI is not interested in actual law enforcement, the FBI is interested in protecting the Democrat Party and advancing the interests of the DNC.  

So Larry King died

 And I've seen some people weeping and wailing and gnashing their teeth.

Dude was 87.  What the hell did you think happens to people, folks?  Yes, he was famous.  Had a TV show.  And he got old, and he died, which is what happens to people.  Why the hell do random people freak the hell out whenever some celebrity dies?  I'm not saying I'm happy about it, I'm saying that he was an old man and old men die.

When my father kicks the bucket, I'm going to be weeping and wailing, but he's MY FATHER, not some celebrity that I never met.

I guess I just don't get it.  "OH, HOW HORRIBLE!  OH, THE HUMANITY!  A CELEBRITY HAS DIED!"  Yeah.  They do that.  Larry King happened to live a lot longer than most celebrities, because he wasn't some crackhead pedo like a huge chunk of them are.  He had a show on CNN back when CNN actually cared about objective reporting, so that should tell you just how long ago that was.

Folks, Old Men die.  We all do.  None of us make it out of here alive.

Biden doesn't know what he's signing, but he's told to sign it so he signs it anyways.

 This drooling half-witted dementia patient is a hollow puppet.

The this is not the first questionable situation we’ve seen in the first three days of the Biden administration. As seen in another video on Inauguration Day, Biden robotically stated aloud “Salute the Marines” as he and his wife Jill entered the Capitol. Biden never actually saluted the marines, as National File reported.

He's a literal figurehead, controlled by Marxists and other anti-American actors.

I've said this multiple times

 The Tea Party was the polite, civil response to the government's over-reach.  They insulted, slandered, abused, and did away with the Tea Party.  But the people who made up the Tea Party were still there.  Donald Trump was the impolite, yet still civil response to government over-reach, and a huge chunk of his voters were the Tea Party folks who were biding their time.  And we all saw what happened to Donald Trump and the stolen election.

Seems like I'm not the only one who recognizes this.

The anger toward Washington has been a long time coming. The election of Ronald Reagan as president was Washington's first chance. The deep state waited him out. The Gingrich Revolution was their next chance. They replaced him with a pedophilic wrestling coach who is now serving time in prison.

I submit that Donald Trump was their last chance. He was nice. He tried to play by their rules. He did and he won, and then they cheated him out of his winnings.

In victory, hollow as it may be, Democrats seek to change the rules because they fear another Trump. So they lock down social media and gatherings of more than 10 people. 

Oh, they won't get another Trump.

If history is correct, they will not like what comes next. No indeed they won't.

Keep in mind that we almost had a complete massacre of federal troops under Obama, after he sicced the feddies on Clive Bundy.  But the People were restrained in their response to massive government provocation.  I doubt that this time around they're going to be as restrained.

HAH!

 

Stole it from here.

And as usual, once the Democrats are finished using the troops as props, they shit all over them

 Democrats doing what Democrats always do.

Get them out of there, governors.  Those are YOUR Soldiers.  Bring them home immediately and tell Biden and the rest of the usurpers to fuck off.

The CU CateCast: The Virtue of Hope

This was published on January 20th.  Seemed appropriate, and Fr. Ryan chose this day specifically.

Hoooo-boy

 The drooling halfwit is even further gone than anyone thought.

And the bullshit starts immediately

 Professional liar and water-carrier for Senile Joe wants to remind people that he's a "devout" Catholic.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was clearly stumped during the administration's first White House press briefing when asked about President Joe Biden's stance on abortion and whether or not he would support the Hyde Amendment, barring taxpayer funds from being used for abortion. 

And check out this non-answer:

"I will take the opportunity to remind all of you that he is a devout Catholic, is somebody who attends church regularly. He started his day attending church with his family this morning," Psaki said. "I don't have anything more for you." 

Well, he might be a "devout" Catholic in the Jorge Bergolio vein, what with his fondling little girls, sniffing women inappropriately, swimming naked in front of his Secret Service detail, finger-raping women, groping Boston Marathon survivor's wives, and generally being a corrupt pervert.  But given his massive support for murdering babies in the womb, I really don't think that he's going to be strolling through the Pearly Gates when he shuffles off this mortal coil.

And speaking of Jorge Bergolio and his cabal of perverts, criminals and various evil bastards...

If the Vatican intended to fully spike the USCCB’s statement, it didn’t succeed. Both messages ended up getting published, although it appears that Pope Francis’ went out first … but not by much:

Shock of shocks, and I'm being honest here, the USCCB's statement reads more like actual Catholic doctrine.

At the same time, as pastors, the nation’s bishops are given the duty of proclaiming the Gospel in all its truth and power, in season and out of season, even when that teaching is inconvenient or when the Gospel’s truths run contrary to the directions of the wider society and culture. So, I must point out that our new President has pledged to pursue certain policies that would advance moral evils and threaten human life and dignity, most seriously in the areas of abortion, contraception, marriage, and gender. Of deep concern is the liberty of the Church and the freedom of believers to live according to their consciences.

Emphasis mine, there.  I wonder what would have happened if Jorge Bergolio had allowed that statement to be read from pulpits all across the country prior to the election?

Pretty much

 

Another reason to never trust the FBI

 FBI goon and private citizen get into an argument.

FBI goon pulls gun, ventilates private citizen.

Not one single detail released.

This is not how an agency of a representative government acts.  This is how goons and thugs protecting an oligarchy act.  I guess this is just another example of how the FBI went from a formerly trusted organization to being nothing more than bully boys for the Democrat party.

The coup is completed today

 I will not watch it.  I will not even go online to read about it.  Fuck Joe Biden, that corrupt, fraudulent drooling halfwit.  Fuck his communist whore running mate, and fuck every single person who aided and abetted in the overthrow of the last legitimate government of this former constitutional republic.

Passin' Thru

Sorry, I got nothing today.  Brain fart. 

Copied from a post on MeWe

 

I'm thinking of printing this out and sending it to my congresscritters.

I'd tell you to buy ammo, but all the ammo has already been bought

 Probably because actual patriotic Americans are watching people like this communist cunt walking back into the White House.

President-elect Joe Biden will tap Anita Dunn, an Obama-administration alumna who praised Chinese communist leader Mao Zedong’s political philosophy, for senior White House adviser, Axios reported Friday.

Dunn’s last stint in the White House ended after just seven months, when she resigned after former Fox News anchor Glenn Beck aired a clip of the then-communications director saying Mao was one of her “favorite political philosophers.”

She was a communications director who sounded like she was chewing on her own tongue when she gave a speech, and she praised a communist dictator who murdered more than 50 million of his own people as a "philosopher".

I got nothing, folks.  These people hate you, and they worship people who murdered millions.  

From P2

 That's funny shit right there.  Also sad, in a "it hasn't happened to me" sense.

Trump more popular now

 Well, who could have seen that coming, other than anyone not part of the corrupt establishment?

“Hicks opened the night by asking the audience a few questions. Is their support for Trump increasing, decreasing or staying the same?

The mostly maskless audience used clickers to record their vote. On the big screen, a bar graphed flashed showing 77% of the 40 people there liked the president more in the past week; 23% had the same opinion. Not one had a lower opinion of the president.”

This is a huge part of the reason why the Marxists and Swamp creatures want to impeach Trump.  Because in reality, it's not about Trump so much as it is about them trying to send YOU a message.  They want YOU to know that they hate you.  They want YOU to be afraid.  They want YOU to shut up and be compliant little drones.

Tell them to fuck off and die screaming.

You find some cool shit while surfing the net

 Like a website that contains lists of products that are NOT made in China.

Fuck the CCP, and fuck every US politician who sold out to them.

The more you look at things

 The more it looks like January 6th was a False Flag operation that the Democrats and their shock troops used to push forward crap legislation like this.

Local and state law enforcement are the primary first responders when it comes to all forms of terrorism. Proposing a bill that treats them as suspects suggests that this legislation is less about securing Americans from domestic terrorism, and more about propagandizing a dangerous narrative and enforcing a political bias in our counterterrorism efforts.

Well, if they essentially abuse and discriminate against local law enforcement, that means there will be fewer people to respond when the abused citizens of this country return the favor to their political overlords, doesn't it?

Well, there's another sports league that deserves to burn in hell

 The NHL got someone fired from a job because he worked for the Trump campaign in the past.

7) I called the owner of PJS and asked for any explanation, and he told me very bluntly: the @NHL found out I worked for the Trump campaign and threatened to cancel the contract with PJS unless they fired me.

8) Instead of standing up for me, instead of explaining to the NHL that I, as a person, am not solely defined by my previous work on the Trump campaign, they fired me for their own company's financial gain.

9) I was upset and disappointed, but I didn't initially blame them for this decision. I wish they had stood up for me...they didn't. I didn't have any animosity towards PJS, until they tried to bully me into silence.

10) So now I'm sharing the story, in its entirety. Even though the owner told me this afternoon that he would deny everything I say if this went any further. But this is the truth, and I feel more empowered and supported if I share it with all of you.

You cannot exist side by side with a person who wants to eradicate you, eliminate you, humiliate you, and destroy you.  You see that quote up on the top of the sidebar?  "You need but one foe to breed a war".  Just because you don't want to fight, doesn't mean that you won't get into a fight, it only means that you'll be brutally and violently beaten when you think "Oh, I just want to be nice".

Meekness, the act of being meek, is power under control.

Weak people cannot be meek, because they lack the power that control requires.

Meekness in the face of homicidal violence is not wise, not brave, not Christian.  It is suicidal.

Found this comment through Kim du Toit:  

When you are living in a totalitarian state, and make no mistake, we are living in a totalitarian state, you have three choices; Submit, nullify by refusing to participate or kill them. There is no grey area and you dont get to refuse to play.

I will not submit.

LOLGF Fox News

 Fox News ratings continue to crash.  Good riddance to bad rubbish.

We, their audience, have been warning Fox News that we objected to their mad rush to the left for years. Probably for four years.

They didn't listen. They had all the market research in the world, for free. Their actual customers saying, "If you keep this up, we're out."

They ignored all this.

They have earned their fate.

Fox News didn't just forget who their customer base was, they deliberately shit all over their customer base with malicious forethought.  This wasn't an "oopsie", this was an all-out assault on conservatives by people who hate the GOP base, no matter how "conservative" they acted on TV.  Piss on 'em.  I haven't even gone to their website since November 4th.

Recognize anything familiar?

 

Take a good hard look

I'm for it

 

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.

This has happened before.
