"Pro-Life Evangelicals for Biden" feel betrayed

 You know who I feel betrayed by?  Idiots who call themselves Pro-Life but voted for a drooling halfwit who supports abortion without restrictions.

Yet they voted for Biden on the belief that he was a moderate, and that despite his explicitly radical pro-baby slaughter position, he would be the cordial grandpa who brought civility back to D.C.

He told us this was his goal! He made no bones about it.

I don't know how anyone who claims to be Pro-Life could listen to what Biden said, read his statements, and decide "Yeah, I'm gonna vote for this guy!  He seems like he'll protect the unborn children!"

Dude, Biden won't even protect the children who have been born - look at what he's doing on the border, where coyotes and the cartels are free to traffic in child sex slaves again.  

So congratulations, pRo-LiFe eVanGeLiCals for BiDeN, you just helped cement the very real potentiality that our taxdollars will be actively used to murder children by the millions in the womb. And that's just the beginning.

But at least we don't have mean tweets anymore.

If you voted for Biden, you voted to murder babies in the womb.  That was never in question.  It was clear from the start.  These so called "pro life" people are either willfully blind or lying.

When you realize that Democrats hate America and want to destroy her

 Then things like this make sense.

When Joe Biden signaled his open-borders plan, it triggered human traffickers south of the border to start teeing up swarms of people to storm the U.S. and flood the already COVID-pandemic-slammed U.S. labor market. But now we learn that the Biden administration has not been COVID testing the illegal immigrants swarming the border before they’re released into the interior of the U.S.

Joe Biden knew this before he opened the borders. He gobsmackingly asserted that the U.S. “didn’t have a COVID vaccine” and claimed the pandemic was so severe he had to spend nearly $2 trillion to fight it.

The Washington Examiner reports that the Border Patrol and the Department of Homeland Security are not COVID-testing the illegal aliens and their children. Why? Even if they did test positive, “they cannot return children and some families.” Adults can be deported, but not people with children.

This is all about attacking YOU, Mr. and Mrs. Joe America.  That's their only real goal.

Yup.

 

I got nothing today

 The Mrs. and I are going riding.  Maybe that'll help stoke the ol' brain cells into functioning.

The Democrat Media proves once again that they are walking pieces of garbage with by-lines

 Going after Ron DeSantis this time.  Again.

Predictably, this was yet another hit piece designed to dent DeSantis’ political armor, not just in an attempt to once again paint him as the coronavirus villain over governors who actually have done a bad job, like Cuomo, but also because of 2024 considerations. DeSantis has been touted as a possible top presidential contender, and as a result, the media and the left are responding accordingly.

It’s especially remarkable when you think about how they routinely accused Trump and DeSantis last year of being willing to sacrifice seniors in order to reopen the economy. Now, they’ve almost quite literally done a full reversal from their previous “we must protect seniors!” stance. Sadly, for them, it all boils down to politics.

I've been disgusted by the DNC Media for years, but I think over the past five years it morphed from disgust to outright hatred.  These jackals and dimwits who do nothing but work for the DNC could all disappear tonight, and I wouldn't shed a single tear for them.

I don't want to hear one fucking word about how I need to wear a mask to "stop the spread"

Hey, you know what would actually stop the spread?  Stopping illegal aliens infected with the Kung Flu from coming into this country.  But that's JUST TOO FUCKING HARD FOR THIS FUCKING BRAINLESS GOVERNMENT, isn't it?

After Border Patrol release, asylum-seekers test positive for Covid in Brownsville, Texas

Miriam Izaguirre, a 35-year-old asylum-seeker from Honduras, crossed the Rio Grande at dawn Monday with her young son and turned herself in to the authorities.

A few hours later she was released, and the first thing she did was take a rapid test for Covid-19 at the Brownsville bus station. They told her her test came out positive.

“Right now we were tested for Covid and they separated about eight of us because we were positive,” she told Noticias Telemundo Investiga. “We are waiting right now.” She was waiting to catch a bus to Houston.

Other migrant families who also said they had tested positive were waiting to go to other destinations: North Carolina, Maryland and New Jersey.

Out:  TWO WEEKS TO FLATTEN THE CURVE!  (I think we're on day 360 of those two weeks)

In:  Let infectious border-hopping criminals spread the Beijing Barf far and wide!

Not acceptable. Not acceptable at all.

 National Guard troops in the Capitol being feed food that's undercooked, rotten, and has metal shavings in it.

More pictures of the nastiness they're being fed.

Have we really reached the point where National Guard soldiers in their third month of protecting the Capitol are poisoned with rotten food, worms and metal shavings and no one cares? 

The contempt shown to these soldiers by their Washington, DC, masters is as sickening as the rancid slop they’ve been served. 

I think Texas and Florida have already recalled their National Guard.  The other states should do the same.  Fuck Pelosi and fuck that drooling senile halfwit, President Asterisk.  Let them pay for their armed thugs.  Let's be blunt and honest about what the Democrats have turned Capitol City into, shall we?

Yeah.  Not in a good mood this morning.

Why didn't Congress fund Operation Warp Speed?

 Because the Democrats would rather you die, than Donald Trump get any credit at all.

The real scandal is why Congress never put big funding behind Operation Warp Speed–thus requiring the administration to fund OWS by surreptitiously cutting elsewhere. The Trump administration gets blamed for its inept handling of the pandemic but Congress is supposed to be in charge of the laws and the purse strings and Congress was an abysmal failure. Who in Congress lauded let alone funded Operation Warp Speed, the only big success of the pandemic response?

It's not like the Democrats value your life at all, or your freedoms, rights, liberties, personal property, or any other thing that allows you to survive outside of the government.  Youi are nothing to them.  The Democrats hate you, and they want you to die.  Why should they fund an initiative that would let you live, and open the country up sooner than they want?  Opening up the country removes some of their power, and they can't have that.

Funding Operation Warp Speed would have been antithetical to everything they want.

It felt damn good to ride today

 36 degrees when I left the house.  61 when I came home.  Thank the Mrs. for insisting I get a modular helmet.

And now they've cancelled Dr. Seuss

 Although what they hate isn't really Dr. Seuss.  It's you, and everything you stand for.  It's the middle-class American family who goes to church on Sunday and cheers at Friday night football games.  It's the two-parent nuclear family that they want to cancel, and they're attacking anything and everything associated with it by calling it "racist" or "problematic".

Dr. Seuss isn't racist.  He was, in fact, and anti-racist, and his books reflect that.  But like Mark Twain's "Huckleberry Finn", which was one of the greatest anti-racist books ever written when it was published, it can't be allowed to exist because it conflicts with the narrative being pushed by anti-family, anti-American groups.  Like Black Lives Matter, who used to have the balls to admit that they wanted to destroy the two-parent nuclear family.  But they took that part down from their mission statement a while ago, when it became problematic for them to admit their goals.  Of course, they didn't renounce their goals, they just hid them from the public.

You know, no matter how much I hate and loath Marxists, I never called for the banning of Das Kapitol, or Mein Kampf, because I wanted them out there for people to see.   I wanted people to see and hear exactly what the Marxists believed.  Marxists don't want anyone to see or hear you or what you believe, because they're afraid of it.

Texas is open

 About damn time.  Now if Utah will stop being a cringy little bitch and follow suit.

The Establishment can go fuck themselves

 I don't have an argument with the author of this piece, but it's what his friend said close to the end that gave me a red curtain of blood over my eyes.

Not long after I got to CPAC this year, I tweeted that GOP voters will no longer accept candidates who do not support their interests. A good friend who hews closer to the old establishment than I do responded, asking what if the voters don’t know what is in their own interests.

They honestly think they're smarter than you.  They honestly think they have the right to tell you what to do, and what's in your own "best interests".

They have fucked this country beyond all belief.  They have surrendered every last principle they claimed to have, they've given away your freedoms hand over fist.  They've turned a free and prosperous nation into a marxist police state, and they think they can tell you what your own best interest is.

Fuck the GOP establishment.  They are nothing but arrogant, clueless, isolated, insulated from reality, big-state, nanny-government shitstains, and they can all go to hell.  

Do read the whole thing, because despite what the establishment GOP thinks, we're not going back to allowing them to stab us in the back and sell us to the National Socialist Democrat Workers Party.  This is Trump's GOP, and we're far better for it.

The Way Forward

 Or, as I like to say, Embrace the Suck.

So, what does all this mean? Many traditional Americans are sleepwalking into a conflict they are not mentally prepared to handle. The ideals of blind justice and due process are now, for all intents and purposes, quaint relics, and relying on constitutional rights for protection is dangerously naïve. 

Like it or not, we live in a police state, controlled by an increasingly authoritarian regime with near-total electronic surveillance. The national security apparatus views conservatives and free-thinkers as domestic terrorists, and there are now more military deployed in our nation’s capital than in war zones overseas. If America were any other country, it would be considered a non-permissive environment—not a free country.

The future is going to suck.  There's no getting around it.  There's no voting our way out of it.  It will suck, and if you want to survive, you must Embrace the Suck.  Know that it's going to suck, and move forward with your eyes open.  Not doing anything will suck even worse.  There are no good options, every option sucks.  So pick the least sucky option, and Embrace the Suck.

The F-35 needs to be scrapped

 Bring back production of the F-22 in the meantime while you go back to the drawing board.

In spite of its advanced technology and cutting-edge capabilities, the latest stealth fighter suffers from structural flaws and slew of challenges.

Most recent among them is a structural engine flaw and shortage in its production.

The F-35’s engine problem is partly based in not being able to deliver them for maintenance as fast as needed, in addition to a problem with the heat coating on its rotor blades which shortens engine lifespan considerably.

Defense News described it as a “serious readiness problem”, suggesting that as soon as 2022, nearly 5 to 6 per ent of the F-35 fleet could be effectively grounded as it waits for engine replacements.

Another challenge is the plane’s software. Most modern fighter jets have between 1 to 2 million lines of code in their software. The F-35 averages 8 million lines of code in its software, and it’s suffering from a bug problem.

To fix this, the US Department of Defense is asking three American universities to help figure it out.

The fighter jet also suffers from a slightly embarrassing touchscreen problem. After making the switch from hard flipped switches to touch screens, pilots report that unlike a physical switch that you’re confident has been activated, touch screens in the plane don’t work 20 percent of the time says one F-35 pilot. 

One of my acquaintances happens to work on F-35s, and he was recently deployed to the ME with his squad.  To say the planes had issues would be an understatement.  The plane is a money suck that doesn't work.  It needs to be scrapped.

Jeff Bezos is a worthless sack of walking garbage

 And might I suggest not giving Amazon so much damn money?

Amazon has shown its true colors, once again, when it comes to celebrating and appreciating diversity: if your ideals don’t align with the team-left narrative, you will not be celebrated. 

In the midst of Black History Month, Amazon pulled a critically acclaimed and popular documentary on conservative Justice Clarence Thomas, the only black justice currently serving on the Supreme Court, from its streaming platform. 

The documentary, “Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words,” is “currently unavailable to watch in your location,” the website reads when the title is clicked. 

The outage appears to be nationwide, as reported by Breitbart.

Commies gonna commie, and Bezos is a commie.  So are a huge chunk of the people running Amazon.

The proof of the pudding is in the tasting

 You want to live through a pandemic?  Stop electing Democrats.

Now that the pandemic has dealt severely with every state in the country, it’s fair to evaluate individual states’ performance—and it’s clearer than ever which ones are responding effectively. 

Maybe if the Democrats actually focused on real world problems instead of their make-believe world, they wouldn't have screwed up so badly when a real world problem hit.  But given that Democrats don't seem to actually recognize reality anymore:

I think all the drugs they were doing in the 60's and 70's have come back to hit them, even the ones who weren't born then.  Don't ask me how that works.  I don't know.

Most of the media in this country is garbage, and this little cartoon nails it.

 

The Green New Deal preview

 It happened in Texas.

In short, between Feb. 8 and Feb. 16 wind power plunged 93% while coal rose 47% and gas 450% according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). What all this demonstrates, says the Journal, is that an electricity grid that depends on unreliable wind and solar needs baseload power, especially coal and nuclear power.  While natural gas is crucial it is not as reliable.

The mainstream media wanted to hear none of this. 

The Cult of Glow-bull Warming is the new religion, and the cult members are zealots.  I like to blow their minds out by reminding them that twenty thousand years ago, the middle of our country (Kansas to be specific) was under two miles of ice.  What caused all that ice to melt, hmmmmm?  Coal-fired electric plants?  SUVs?

If your state is planning on switching to wind power, tell them "NO!" in no uncertain terms.

The CU CateCast: The Perils of Mixing-In Eastern Spirituality

I listened to some of the Merrick Garland hearing

 You can go read the transcripts, but please understand that the transcripts don't convey just what a shambling, pathetic excuse of a man Garland truly is.  He can't get one single sentence out without stammering, "um um um um um" and other verbal tics.  This guy was a prosecutor?  I think that explains the horrible condition of our judicial system.

Yes - I've Seen All Good People Live 1973 (Best Version)

I just wanted some good music today.

Did Biden slur the n-word in a speech?

 I honestly don't think he did.  I think he's so far gone into dementia that even as he's reading a teleprompter he glitches and babbles out nonsense.  I can't begin to imagine the drugs they use to keep that drooling halfwit upright.  So when his eyes cross and he begins a word salad of bullshit, it's just another sign that he's a brainless puppet who long passes his expiration date.

Every time you think Seattle can't get worse, they get worse

 Free drug pipes!  And lessons on how to use heroin RECTALLY.

Rantz reports that the “low-barrier shelters” say they give advice on “harm-reduction techniques,” which apparently includes showing addicts how to better hide their addictions by injecting the drug rectally.

They even provided helpful how-to posters inside the shelters and encouraged residents to ask them how to rectally inject heroin or smoke it because “smoking is a lower-risk alternative to injection. Give it a try!”

The government of Seattle is enabling the drug addicts that have taken over downtown.  I used to jokingly refer to Seattle as "San Fran North".  It's not a joke any more.  You couldn't pay me to go to Seattle right now, as I don't want to step over human feces and used needles in order to get a cup of coffee, and I don't want to be assaulted by some drug addict trying to get money for his next hit.

This is why you cannot trust the government with your safety or your liberty

 Because the government does not care about truth, facts, or reality.

In yet another story purporting to confirm the left’s view of the world, Jana Winter reported in Yahoo News Friday that “the U.S. government is acknowledging for the first time that right-wing extremists were responsible for the majority of fatal domestic terrorist attacks last year, according to an internal report circulated by the Department of Homeland Security last week.” But as you might expect, it’s long on vague assertions and decidedly short on facts.

This is another lead-up to destroying your constitutional rights under the guise of "defeating terrorism".  They didn't do a fucking thing about BLM or Antifa, which BURNED MINNEAPOLIS TO THE GROUND.  They happily released Antifa shitstains who were trying to burn a US courthouse in Portland.  They allowed Antifa to take over entire portions of Seattle and Portland.  They stand by while Antifa flat out murders someone (although another state caught the murderer, who died after the po po shot his ass).  

But despite the sheer volume of pictures, video, and witnesses to Leftist violence, they are going to focus on "right-wing" terrorists.  

Keep your head on a swivel.  The Left is coming for you, and they're going to use the government to do it.

Music of my youth

Gonna be working all weekend

 Just a head's up, won't be much posting this weekend as I'm going to be busy doing the Army thing.

Blogroll is to the right.

Facts matter

And the fact is that the media has been lying in overdrive for years regarding Trump, but the January 6th reporting has been straight out of Pravda.

In fact, the only source for this claim is the New York Times story, which relied on unnamed officials. And even the Times has since been forced to add a note at the top of that story saying that “new information has emerged … that questions the initial cause of (Sicknick’s) death.”

There’s other evidence to show that the media had it all wrong. ProPublica reports that Sicknick texted his family Wednesday night to say that “he had been pepper-sprayed” (he didn’t say by whom) and “was in good spirits.” CNN later admitted that investigators have been “vexed by a lack of evidence that could prove someone caused his death.” More tellingly, a Capitol Police statement said Sicknick returned to his office after the melee and only later went to the hospital. So what caused his death? Nobody knows, but it clearly wasn’t caused by a hell-bent Trump mob.

Why is this important? As Greenwald explains, “Without Sicknick having his skull bashed in with a fire extinguisher, there were no deaths that day that could be attributed to deliberate violence by pro-Trump protesters.”

 But without the lies, the National Socialist Democrat Workers Party couldn't push for their dreams, could they?

Trump tells Haley to pound sand

 Why in the hell should Trump help the people who shit on him?  He shouldn't.

NIKKI HALEY reached out to former President DONALD TRUMP on Wednesday to request a sit-down at Mar-a-Lago, but a source familiar tells Playbook that he turned her down. The two haven’t spoken since the insurrection on Jan. 6, when Haley blasted Trump for inciting his supporters to storm the Capitol.

The GOP rode Trump's coattails in 2020, and the GOP establishment repaid him by stabbing him in the back at every opportunity.  Trump should use his clout to primary the hell out of the bastards, or in the case of Haley, just let her rot in obscurity.

Stole this from 90 Miles

Because it's appropriate

When they turn the pages of history

When these days have passed long ago

Will they read of us with sadness

For the seeds that we let grow

We turned our gaze

From the castles in the distance

Eyes cast down

On the path of least resistance

Cities full of hatred

Fear and lies

Withered hearts

And cruel tormented eyes

Scheming demons

Dressed in kingly guise

Beating down the multitude

And scoffing at the wise

The hypocrites are slandering

The sacred halls of Truth

Ancient nobles showering

Their bitterness on youth

Can't we find

The minds that made us strong

Can't we learn

To feel what's right and wrong

Well, shit

 Rush Limbaugh has died.

After getting his diagnosis, I'm amazed he lasted as long as he did.  He was a trail-blazer.  Every single conservative radio show owes their existence to Rush Limbaugh, and up to his last day on the air he was still the best.

I had an inkling this was coming sooner rather than later, after I heard a show in January where he admitted that he was having to speak from the back of his throat instead of using his diaphragm.  So I had my sad feelz then.  

This will cause a massive shift in daytime radio from here forward.  I don't know if anyone is capable of filling the hole he leaves.

Couple of linky love posts here

 An update on the Kung Flu, with a quote I thought to be appropriate.

As I and others have also been saying now for months, the federal government’s policy of awarding doctors more money if they report all respiratory disease as COVID has apparently cured the human race of the flu. (People might still be getting the flu, but doctors are reporting it routinely as the coronavirus.)

A quote that I heartily agree with:

...if we wanted to really be violent, there would have been special elections. - Christopher Greenstein

Bingo.  If the right had truly wanted to be violent on January 6th, there wouldn't be anything left standing.  

A primary for Mittens?  PLEASE!  DO IT!

Hannity brought the former Utah Congressman and Best-Selling Author on to talk about January 6th events and who was responsible for the breach. While interviewing Chaffetz, Hannity pressed him on whether he would consider running against Senator Mitt Romney in 2022.

Romney needs to be sent packing, almost as much as McConnell.

I'm teleworking today, so I might actually post stuff throughout the day as it goes along.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy Trump ripping Mitch McConnell a new ass

 Because fuck Mitch McConnell and every squishy establishment asshole along with him.

Mitch is a dour, sullen, and unsmiling political hack, and if Republican Senators are going to stay with him, they will not win again. He will never do what needs to be done, or what is right for our Country. Where necessary and appropriate, I will back primary rivals who espouse Making America Great Again and our policy of America First. We want brilliant, strong, thoughtful, and compassionate leadership.

Prior to the pandemic, we produced the greatest economy and jobs numbers in the history of our Country, and likewise, our economic recovery after Covid was the best in the world. We cut taxes and regulations, rebuilt our military, took care of our Vets, became energy independent, built the wall and stopped the massive inflow of illegals into our Country, and so much more. And now, illegals are pouring in, pipelines are being stopped, taxes will be going up, and we will no longer be energy independent.

This is a big moment for our country, and we cannot let it pass by using third rate “leaders” to dictate our future!

Mitch McConnell needs to understand that this is not his Republican party any more.  This is Trump's party, and the reason it's Trump's party is because back-stabbing pieces of shit like John Boehner, Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell gave the GOP voters nowhere to go other than Trump.  So McConnell wanted to give a speech that essentially regurgitated DNC talking points on the Senate floor?  Seriously?  Fuck that traitorous piece of crap, and fuck anyone who supports him from this point forward.

Good on Trump for pissing all over Chuck Schumer's little bitch boy.

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.
