The Liberal Hate Machine

Gab is tracking it!  We all know that Twatter is a cesspool of liberal politics, and a self-licking ice cream cone of hatred.  But it's nice to have it shown in data form.

The stock markets can't figure out what to do

And I'm buying more stock index funds, because as the idiots and losers shed their stocks in a panic, they just keep getting cheaper.  That market is going back up, folks.  And the big difference is that I'll have more of their money in my pocket when it comes to retirement.

To quote this post at Instapundit:  I haven't lost a dime.  I haven't sold anything.

Got my Coronavirus briefing yesterday

You want to know what the top docs in the USA think?

Don't panic.  Wash your hands.  Stay away from infected people.

Look, the actual death rate of Covid 19 is essentially unknown, because it's hard to calculate percentages when a good portion of the people infected with the virus don't even show any symptoms!

Let me restate that:  At this point, at least 14% of the people infected with Covid 19 that they know of do not show any symptoms.  That means that the actual effect of this virus on a normal person's body is lesser than the seasonal flu.

That's not to say there are no problems.  This bug seems to hit older folks hard, and it hits a statistically significant percentage of males more than females.  But it's not Flubola that we're dealing here.  The fatality percentage being bandied about is 2-3%.  As the doc briefed yesterday, how can you make that claim when you know for a fact that there are thousands of people who got Covid 19 and didn't go to the hospital because it was just the sniffles and a sore throat?  That 2-3% fatality rate is based on the cases we know about, which is a remarkably smaller number than the cases we don't know about.

Also, what kind of condition were these folks in before they got this virus and died?  Is it taking down perfectly healthy adults?  The flu does that sometimes.  Or, is it as I suspect, that this virus is taking out the infirm and elderly, just like the flu does every year to less fanfare?

The greatest threat we face from this virus is not the physical effects on any person or group of people here in the USA.  The threat is from the fact that China, being a filthy, communist-run shithole who we've given ALL of our manufacturing capability, won't be able to supply the things they used to make but now cannot make because entire cities are quarantined.  We're going to take an economic hit, and maybe, just maybe, the right people will get a wake-up call.  But stop thinking we're all going to die.  We won't, not yet.

Don't panic.  Wash your hands.  Stay away from people you know have the virus, if possible.  And quite frankly, get outside if you can.  Fresh air and sunlight seem to be a better treatment for this virus than any man-made medicine.

If it weren't in Canada, I'd move there

No offense meant to my Northern Neighbors, but ya'll have a fucked up government, and I like my freedoms, even if they're under assault by the US government.



If Alberta and Saskatchewan ever decided to leave Canada, I think they might get an influx of Americans from the Midwest, tired of dealing with a bunch of socialist assholes.

I can't argue with this

Especially the part about America being sold out for the profit of the powerful.

I got nothing today

So have some Bill Whittle.



For the record, I think that if the liberal shitholes allowed the conservative counties to split off, it might delay the coming civil war.  But let's be honest, the whole point of being a "progressive" is the joy of controlling every aspect of other's lives.  The Leftist parasites will never give up their power over other people, not unless you pry it from their hands.  And even after you pry it from their hands, you have to battle to keep their hands from grabbing it back.  THIS is what the Democrat party has done.  This is why they want to round you up in cattle cars - if they can't control you, they'll kill you because they don't think you're worthy of living next to them, and your refusal to bow to their whims infuriates them to violence.

Chuck the Schmuck threatenes Supreme Court Justices live on TV

This fucking guy...

“I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh: You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price," Schumer said to a chorus of cheers. "You won't know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions."

Apparently threatening the courts like the fucking commie he is doesn't play well in Peoria, so he's had to walk it back.  Me, I just think it's enough to say that if anything happens to Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, we hang that fucking prick from a lamp-post on Pennsylvania Avenue.

He's mostly dead already.  It's just his love of Marxism and hatred of Trump that's keeping his corpse animated.

ERMAHGERD! CERONERVERUS!

How to tell if you have the corona virus!  Your eyes leak out of your skull!  Your brain jumps out of your head and crawls away!  You can see the actual live virus legions marching in waves across the floor to attack and infect other people!  WE'RE ALL GONNA DIIIIIEEEEEEEEE!

Symptoms of the coronavirus - fever, cough, runny nose - are similar to those of the common cold or the flu.

(record scratch).

Folks, the hysteria over this whole thing is just one massive load of bullshit.  Some people might die.  They die from the flu every single year.  In fact, thousands of people die from the flu every year.  One of the guys in my office just took his kid to the hospital and found out he had pneumonia.  That happens too.  There is no reason to freak out about this.

And for the love of God, stop buying every single roll of toilet paper within a 25 mile radius.

People around here have lost their damn minds

The Mrs went to Costco the other day to pick up a few things.  She reported back that all the toilet paper was gone.

All.  Of.  It.  That aisle looked like a supermarket in Venezuela.  The bottled water was hit hard too.  Bottled water!  Folks, the water coming out of your tap is CHLORINATED, it'll kill any virus that might somehow make it in there!  We have to have a reverse osmosis filter to REMOVE all that chlorine.  Ain't nothing coming through those pipes alive.

We have a month's worth of poop tickets here at Casa de Rage, and now I'm wondering if that'll be enough because if people are freaking out and buying every single roll of TP within a hundred-mile radius right now, will they keep doing that as the news pushes more panic every single day in an attempt to bring down Trump?  Are there going to be houses with rooms full of toilet paper as the occupants run around in a panic because they refuse to turn off the TV?

Hell with it, we have a bidet.  I'll wash my ass clean every morning if need be.  The poor folks at Costco couldn't even begin to guess when they would have more TP in stock.  It's a freak-out like Y2K all over again.  I think some people aren't happy until they have something to panic about.

We always have enough food in the house for several weeks, just because you never know what Mother Nature is going to throw at you.  But I'm now looking around and wondering if I need to prep for more, because if people freak out like this over a virus that's the equivalent of a mild flu, then what the hell will they do if anything serious happens?

Donna Brazile lost her shit over fairly straight-forward comments

Eh, she's just a thin-skinned corruptocrat who carried Hillary Clinton's water and doesn't like to be reminded about it.

Brazile doesn’t want GOP interference in the Democrat primary races and that is clearly a reference to Operation Chaos type of voting that some Republican voters are doing Tuesday. But to deny that the superdelegates will get in there and muck things up for Sanders at the convention is just silly. We all saw what happened to Bernie in 2016 when he ran against Hillary. They were determined that Hillary have her coronation and then Trump, thankfully, squashed that Democrat fever dream in the general election.

Brazile made sure that Hillary had debate questions in advance, made sure that the Democrat Party super delegates voted for Hillary, and cleared the way for Hillary to run rough-shod over Bernie in 2016.  So her "Go to hell" moment now just rings hollow, because Brazile is nothing but a party hack covering for other party hacks.  I just want to see what McDaniel has to say back, because unlike the squishy wimps of previous years, McDaniel doesn't back down.

I laughed harder at this than I've laughed in a long time

I swear to you, I'm just a kid.  A big, overgrown kid who can buy whiskey.  So I find shit like this hilarious.

Don't click on that link unless you possess the same juvenile sense of humor that I do.

The USA has the least poverty in the world

Despite what lies the DNC tells, we're doing pretty damn good.

A few weeks ago Matt Yglesias published a tweet (since deleted, which I don't totally understand as I thought it was pretty innocuous from a Progressive viewpoint) saying that he wanted to spend more time focusing on "relative child poverty."  What the heck is "relative" child poverty?  I want to spend a bit of time discussing why this is a useless metric, helpful only if one want to try to sell socialism in the US.

Capitalism in the USA has lifted more people out of poverty than any other force.  Period.  Go check out the data he presents.

I just got a thrill up my leg

I saw this last night, but I couldn't stop giggling long enough to post it.  Pissy Chrissy Matthews, one of the worst loudmouths on TV, retired on air and walked off the set.

Maybe he was actually told he was going to be let go, maybe after the election. But maybe decided, the hell with that, I'll leave them without a host.

Another suspicion: MSNBC was happy to cover all this up until Matthews started taking on the progressive wing, and then leftwingers and Bernie Bros decided to cut him loose.

If this was another "Me Too" torpedo that circled around and blew up the side that launched it, that would be even better.  Chris Matthews was one of the worst, most partisan pieces of crap on TV.  I hope he spends his last days yelling at clouds and ranting to anyone who is unfortunate enough to be next to him about how that thrill up his leg that Obama gave him turned into the shakes because Orange Man Bad.

Bernie Sanders flies on Private Jets

Much like his communist heroes, who had their dachas on the lake, stuffed with food and booze, while the common people starved to death and waited in lines just to get shoes that didn't fit.

After getting shellacked by former Vice President Joe Biden in the South Carolina primary, the democratic socialist presidential candidate is said to have boarded the wrong private jet during a campaign stop on Saturday.

Am I opposed to private jets?  Nope.  What I'm opposed to is a communist who rails against "the rich" using a private jet.  You want your socialist paradise, comrade?  YOU FIRST.  Fly commercial, just like the rest of America, or shut the fuck up.

Hot tip: Allowing a drag queen to twerk on your pre-pubescent daughter will most likely send you to hell

We're in some fresh hell where a "mother" allows a sexual deviant to get fresh with her child.

This little girl is being traumatized by adults who should know better. The "dancing" this drag queen is doing with his bottom hanging out of his shorts is undeniably sexual. The child is sitting in the center of the room as the focus of this display just like any bachelor would sit for a lap dance from a stripper. Her face is a mix of confusion and discomfort while a woman, who I assume is the creature who birthed her, is standing next to her wiggling and giggling while she allows her child to be enticed by a scantily clad man.

Dave's Question #1:  Where the hell is Daddy, to take his daughter out of that cesspool and protect her from these deviant fucks?

Dave's Question #2:  If Daddy was around, meaning that "Mommy" didn't just use him as a sperm donor and breathing ATM, would it be a crime for Daddy to take "Mommy" home and spank her the way she needs to be spanked?  You want kink, my dear?  Let me show you my kind of kink.  You must be punished.  Severely.  You might want to not make any plans for the next few days until you can walk again.

If I was the father, and I saw my daughter being twerked on by some drag queen with his ass hanging out of his shorts, I would use that as exhibit #1 on my "Mommy" should lose all custody.  And yes, I keep using scare quotes around the word "Mommy".  That's because this female who squirted out a child has failed in the primary function of what a mother should do:  PROTECT YOUR CHILD.  That kid doesn't need a sexual deviant twerking on her.  That kid doesn't need to be sexualized in any way, shape or form.  That child, that pre-pubescent child, needs to be protected from that kind of garbage, which means that "Mommy" has utterly and completely failed as mother when she put her child front and center to be used in a drag-queen lap dance.

Lap dancing a pre-pubescent child is sexual abuse.  Period.  It's sexual abuse and it's grooming for more sexual abuse.

Ten bucks says that kid, when she grows up, is going to be banging anything that moves while partaking in drugs by the handful.  Because if "Mommy" can't be bothered to protect her from drag queens when she's a young girl, "Mommy" sure as shit isn't going to be doing any kind of actual parenting when she's a teenager.

Little Mayor Pete is out of the race

I don't think he ever had much of a chance.  He's a sanctimonious twit, and a flaming hypocrite besides.  I've had several gay friends in the past, and not a single one of them tried to use the bible to excuse their homosexuality like Little Mayor Pete.

Plus, what exactly has he ever done?  Nothing.  Which made his homosexuality the only thing he could truly wave around, and that makes him a token.

Buh-bye, Pete.  The world is a better place now that you're not running for President.

We went riding yesterday

It was supposed to be a warm day.  Up in the 60's.  It was not.  It was in the 40's, which isn't bad, but not optimal for a long ride

We rode up Ogden Canyon.  There was snow on the sides of the road and frozen waterfalls.  As we rode out of the canyon and began following the shoreline of the Pineview Reservoir, we saw people ice fishing.  They all looked up to see who the insane idiots on motorcycles were, and what the hell we were doing.  Here's the camera from this morning that shows the road we were on.  All that snow and ice was there yesterday.

We turned on to Trappers Loop, which runs in front of Snowbasin Ski Resort.  The pavement was dry, but there was snow everywhere else.

We made it to Morgan in time for my fingers to lose all feeling.  A stop for coffee got that feeling back.  First ride of the season.  The Mrs. was not too fond of me, but I made sure she had all the heating gear, so she fared better than I did.

We now know what kind of cold weather gear we need.  We thought we had everything covered.  We did not.

But now, the people who made this ride get to call everybody else a bunch of wimps for at least a year, until the next "First Ride of the Year".

The corona virus effects on shipping

PJ Media has a piece on it.  It's worth a read.  The bottom line is that you can expect a lot of prices to go up in the short term, possibly medium term.

As an aside, I've pushed my investments into purchasing more stock index funds.

Why?  Because I think the panic over this is just that:  a panic, but not really based on much other than the brainless hysteria of people who want to use this as an excuse to attack Trump and gain political power.


Lots more people are going to die in China.  China is a communist shithole where people starve to death while the political leaders eat well and don't care who dies.

It's in Iran.  Lots of Chinese going to Iran, and passing it to people who wipe their ass with their hands.  Sorry, but when a virus can be transmitted through fecal material, guess what?  Use toilet paper.

More people are going to die in countries that refuse to stop Chinese people from coming in.  Italy.  Lots of European countries.  South Korea.  If you allow plague rats to wander into your house, don't be surprised when you contract the plague.

It will eventually hit here.  We have a political establishment that refuses to close the border.  It'll come to Mexico, and it will then just walk across the border to the USA.  And then?  Well, who do you think a virus that is also transmitted through fecal matter is going to hit hardest?

People who don't wash their hands.  Who don't bother with sanitation or hygiene.  Who live outdoors with other people who publicly defecate.

If it gets a foothold in Lost Angeles, San FranShitShow, Seattle or Portland, you can expect to see significant numbers of homeless people die off.  Possibly some of the people around them.  But for people who wash their hands, who aren't smoking meth, who aren't shitting in public?  Low mortality rate.  Any real death counts coming from rural areas of America are going to be associated with the migrants and illegal aliens.

I don't think we're coming through this unscathed, but I don't think it's going to be as bad as people say it is.  As horrible as it sounds, this virus takes out people who cannot or do not have the faculties to take care of themselves, sanitation-wise.  Most other folks will catch a cold.  Which leaves most of America in a pretty good place.  So I'm not freaking out.  And I won't freak out.  Panic over a virus does nothing good.  Follow the advice of Douglas Adams and the Hitchhiker's Guide.

Don't  Panic.

We survived H1N1 under Barry Obumblefuck, and that was a screw-up of massive proportions.  If you could have done something wrong, the Jug-Eared Fuckwit did it.  We at least have a President now who doesn't fuck around and calls a spade a spade.  He also accurately calls the news agencies currently running around with their hair on fire the "Fake News".  None of the Fake News bothered to do any research of what happened under Barry Obumblefuck (and it happened with their blessing, and full participation to cover up the negative effects, so they actually do know what happened but they won't tell you that).

Don't panic.  Wash your hands.  Stop touching your face.  Wash your hands again.  And don't panic.

I'd buy one

And it's sub-$1000, which means if you're out in the woods and a grizzly bear eats it, you won't cry.

The reason Ilhan "I married by brother to commit immigration fraud" Omar refuses to say she's an American is because she's not an American

She's not really an American, and she never will be.

Apparently, one of her challengers doesn't have that problem.

“I am an American,” wrote Republican Dalia al-Aqidi, a former Iraqi refugee who hopes to replace Omar in representing Minnesota’s 5th  Congressional District.

“That’s why I’m running for Congress,” al-Aqidi added.

Ilhan Omar is an embarrasment to this country.  It's an embarrasment that she was ever brought here and allowed to grow her hatred of the country that saved her from a shithole Islamic caliphate.  It's an embarassment that she was elected to Congress simply on the basis of being Terrorist Barbie.  Thanks, Minnesota!  And it's an embarassment that she continues to vomit forth her hatred of America, Israel, and any country that doesn't conform to her 7th century barbarian ideals.

Ilhan Omar is representative of what's wrong with this country.  It should come as no shock that she's a surrogate for Bernie the Crazy Commie.
