Seemingly trivial drug death in Wisconsin offers a clue to why our nation is doomed

Sometimes a seemingly trivial case shows why this country is turning to shit right before your eyes.

The case involves a then-15-year-old girl in Wisconsin, "Maylia Julieanna Paige Sotelo." As you already guessed, she's a member of a minority, thus in biden's America a specially-protected class--with the full support of the Democrat party and the Left (essentially the same).

Sotelo sold fentanyl--LOTS of it.  And in 2022 one of her customers--age 18--died of what an autopsy found was a fentanyl OD.  

Text messages found on the victim’s phone were traced to Sotelo, who sold him what she later told cops was "a bad batch of Percocet."  Except it's really fentanyl.

Cops then set up a "controlled buy" and busted her with 775 fentanyl pills —*60% of which contained lethal doses.*  But because she's young and female and a member of a specially-protected class, care to bet?

Sotelo told law enforcement she started smoking marijuana and then got addicted to Percocet.  Poor thing said she didn't wanna sell *but had to* to pay off a $500 debt to the (unnamed) person who gave her the pills to sell.

But wait...she only incurred the "debt" from taking the pills on consignment, as it were.  But the phrasing ("had to sell") makes her sound like a totally innocent victim, eh?

SO...she sold fentanyl that killed an 18-year-old.  But because the victim is a nobody--a child of the deplorables--the girl's attorney will argue 1) that she didn't know the pills contained a dangerous drug, let alone a fatal dose; 2) that the victim was 18 so can be presumed to know the risk; 3) 15-year-old children aren't mature enough to make good decisions; and 4) in any event her client is the real victim, because a so-far-unnamed man gave her the drugs to sell.

"I din'doo nuffin'!  It wudn't my fault!  I'ze duh *real* victim!"

Anyone wanna bet on how much prison time she actually *serves*?

Not talking about her nominal sentence, which is utter horseshit designed to fool the rubes into thinking the perp has been fairly punished.  Instead what she actually ends up serving.

By the way, notice how in this case, the claim is that 15-year-olds aren't mature enough to make sound decisions  But if it's a decision to change genders, suddenly kids are, like, totally qualified to make that decision at age four!

With all those pious wails of "Dis po' girl beez duh reeeal victim!"--including from academia, the Left and the Mainstream Media--I predict six months, tops.

California now giving free medical care to 1.8 MILLION illegal aliens--$4 Billion a year

Democrat-ruled California--home of the 80-billion-dollar "high-speed train to nowhere"--has a budget deficit of $68 BILLION this year.

So naturally the Democrats who run that state decided this would be the perfect time to expand free health care for another 764,000 illegal aliens--in addition to the 1.1 million the state already covered years earlier.

Next year the state's total cost for "free" health care for illegals will be $4 billion.

When Obozocare ("free" health insurance for the poor) was passed way back in 2010--without a single Republican vote, but getting every Democrat vote--part of that LAW said only American citizens were eligible.  

Everyone knew the Dems would quickly find a way to get around that silly restriction, and of course they did, by allowing Dem-ruled states to give illegals free "health insurance" via Medicaid (which California calls Medi-Cal).  

Of course the government websites never use "illegal alien" but the far less irritating "undocumented immigrants."  They're also fond of using the phrase "without legal status."

It's instructive to see how the illegal alien advocacy groups got this in: Back in 2015--just five years after Obozocare said only citizens could get free medical--advocates for illegals got the state to give free medical care to chirren, cuz pipo wanna be nice to kids, eh?  Then after they got that win the started pushing for the free care to be expanded to people 50 and up, cuz everyone wants to be nice to older pipo, eh?

Then after that win they pushed to expand to illegals 19 to 25, cuz...reasons.

Finally, faced with so much success and almost no opposition, they decided to go for the biggest win yet, adding everyone not already covered: 764,000, ages 26 to 49.

Activists assure illegals that California doesn't share immigration information with federal authorities, so enrolling in Medi-Cal will not hurt their chances for becoming citizens.  See, there's a thing called the "public charge rule" that says you can't become a citizen if you're likely to depend on any type of welfare.  But just as the Dems ignored Obamacare's "citizens only," they'll ignore this law too.

Significantly, the Medi-Cal law originally said only citizens were eligible, but illegal advocates pressured the Dem-controlled legislature to eliminate that requirement.  And "slowly, public opinion and political will shifted," as illegals became more powerful.

Just this latest expansion is projected to cost more than $835 million in the next six months and $2.6 billion every year thereafter.  The cost of health care for the  more than 1.1 million illegals already covered costs the state approximately $1.6 billion annually.  So this last "expansion" vastly increases the total cost to the state.

Get the pols behind the idea by starting with kiddies, then go for the big win eight years later.

But illegal advocates still aren't satisfied--and their latest push will reveal the con: they wail that another half-million illegal Californians aren't eligible for free health care (which advocates deliberately call "health insurance") *because they make too much money to qualify for Medi-Cal but still can’t afford private insurance.*

Didja get that?  If you're white and make too much money to qualify for free medical, that's that.  But illegals have "advocates" who can get rules changed.

And of course since all these decisions are done by decree, the illegals will get what they want.

Unbelievable: biden's DOJ drops charges against Bankman-Fried for "campaign finance violations"

Hey citizen, remember multi-billion-dollar crypto-currency swindler Sam Bankman-Fried?  His first trial, for fraud, ended in a conviction.  Now he was facing a second trial, this one for...um...campaign finance violations and bribery.

But today--Friday, news dump day--bidumb's "Justice Department" announced it's dropping the charges.

Specifically, biden's DOJ lackeys handed the judge a note saying the government "will not pursue a second trial" against Bankman-Fried.

Of course dropping charges for something that serious would require a really good reason, right?  So what do ya think it was?

In the note to Judge Lewis Kaplan, Garland's DOJ lackeys said the decision to "forego a second set of proceedings" [i.e. to DROP the damn charges!] "had to do with" the fact that "much of the evidence that would have been presented in a second trial had already been submitted to the Court during Bankman-Fried's first criminal trial."

Wait, can anyone explain why the hell that's any kind of reason to drop charges against a defendant?

Ohhh, now I get it:  recall that this second trial was for the charge of "campaign finance violations and bribery."  Bankman-Fried donated literally tens of millions to Democrats (and a few RINOs), so it's no surprise that the Dems didn't want all those details coming out just seven months before the presidential election.

To repeat: the utterly corrupt, totally politicized DO"J" claimed reason for dropping the charges--stated in writing by the DOJ-- was reportedly that "Much of the evidence in a second trial had already been submitted in the first trial."  Let's see if that's even remotely true, eh?

You won't be surprised to learn that NONE of the evidence in the first trial dealt with violations of campaign finance laws, nor bribery.  So the purported "reason" for dropping the charges is utter horseshit.

Have you ever heard of a prosecutor dropping charges for such a nonsensical bullshit reason?  The corruption is breathtaking.

The DOJ lackeys had to state some reason, had to say something, or else the corruption would be too obvious.

The BBC found a DOJ lackey who didn't have the same approved script, and said this:

Wait...I thought the first excuse was that "much of the evidence in a second trial had already been presented in the first trial, so..."  But that's not even remotely the same as "a strong public interest in resolution of the case.." eh?  Clearly, they're lying.

And equally clearly, no one gives a damn.  Not one person in a million even noticed that neither of the explanations made sense, or that they were different.  And the Mainstream Media carefully avoided reporting that the "reasoning" was utter horseshit, and totally nonsensical.

If you have an experienced lawyer friend, ask 'em if either explanation makes sense. 

Just another normal day for the utterly corrupt biden/Dem regime.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Diversity demands Air Force song be re-written

Last week the Deputy Assistant Sec of the AF for Diversity and Equity (female)--a Government major from Hahvahd--reported that the last verse of the Air Force song contains an offensive, sexist term.  Specifically, it contains the line: "Flying men, guarding our nation's borders..." 

Naturally under the biden regime this can't be allowed, so she's asked the male Secretary of the Air Force to order the word "men" changed to be more inclusive.  The SecAF asked SecDefense Lloyd Austin what to do.  Austin asked the White House, which reportedly said "We don't need the heat, so have the SecAF make the decision.

A few days later the Assistant for Diversity also noticed the phrase "At 'em boys, give 'er the gun."  Both complaints are being reviewed.

AOC immediately supported re-writing the song, and then mentioned another pro-America song often sung by Americans, demanding that it too be re-written to eliminate a sexist term:
   "Oh thus be it ever
      when free men shall stand
    between their loved homes
      and the war's desolation

You almost certainly don't recognize that. It's the 4th verse of "The Star-spangled Banner."

If you wonder what your kids' public schools are (and aren't) teaching, ask your kids the name of our national anthem.  

Democrats: "So what?  Dat don' mean nuffin'!  No one need ta know dat!"  

Colorado's Democrat SecState "defends democracy" by...preventing Trump from being on the ballot

If you're a college-age student you need to be familiar with the term "brazen."

Colorado's Secretary of State--the person who totally controls elections--is a leftist named Jena Griswold.  Jena is such a good Democrat that she was elected chair of the Democratic Association of Secretaries of State.

In 2021 Jena was all about "defending democracy"!  “What we're seeing right now is an all-out assault on democracy,” she bleated.

That was in 2021.

In 2022 she expounded on this theme, and on what a faaaabulous job she was doing "defend democracy":
>>“Everything we do every single day is to ensure that the American people can freely choose their elected officials,” she bleated.  “We believe democracy literally is on the ballot.”

That was in 2022.

At the end of 2023, apparently democracy is no longer on the ballot, at least in Colorado, because Griswold, who had spent the past two years wailing about an “assault on democracy” now launched an actual assault on democracy, to ensure residents of her state couldn't vote for the leading GOP candidate.

Cuz, democracy, stupid deplorable.

After four Ivy-league Democrat justices on the Colorado supreme court ruled that former President Trump couldn’t appear on the ballot in Colorado, the state’s GOP announced it would change to a caucus system--making the court's decision irrelevant.

Huge fan of democracy Jens Griswold responded by DECREEING that the Colorado GOP couldn’t change its own primary so that voters could vote for the candidate they chose.  They would only be allowed to choose from a list of candidates approved by the Democrats.

Cuz, democracy, citizen!  You love democracy, right?  So how can you possibly complain when the Democrats who run things are "defending our precious democracy," eh?

Hey, sometimes Democrats have to delete democracy to save democracy, eh?

Well well well: biden regime signals end of its support for Ukraine--so voters will forget

Let's review: First biden's State Department offered to let Ukraine join NATO, after Putin had said Russia wouldn't accept that.

THEN after Putin moved 150,000 troops with tanks to the border with Ukraine, biden *literally* said the U.S. wouldn't respond as long as a Russian "incursion" was "minor."

biden's handlers did everything but invite Russia to invade.  Why would they do that, eh?

SO yesterday...the biden regime just signaled the end of its support for Ukraine.

The House had offered to vote more money, but only if the biden regime agreed to "secure the border" (i.e. get a totally illusory promise to reduce illegal immigration).  The biden regime told the GOP to go to hell.

What do you suppose keeping the border wide open is so important to the Democrats that they're willing to end support for Ukraine rather than give an illusory promise to secure the southern border?

Surely they haven't gotten tired of getting their share of the Ukrainian graft, so what can it be?

Two reasons: Most important is that keeping the flood of illegals coming ensures Democrats will keep control of the government forever.  The flood also continues to terrorize Americans by high crime.

Terrorized citizens are willing to do anything if the government promise to keep 'em safe--not realizing that the biden regime is enabling the terror!

Second is that biden's handlers finally realized Ukraine wasn't going to be able to defeat far larger Russia, so they figured it's better to cut off aid now instead of letting the GOP have an issue going into the election.

biden is the very personification of the "Peter Principle:" someone inexplicably promoted far beyond his competence level. He's always been utterly incompetent, thru his entire "career."  Bluff, bluster and bullying subordinates and constituents.  Will say ANYTHING, no matter how demonstrably false and pretentious, to get his slimy mug on TV.  

And the Powers that Be expect you to believe this piece of incompetent, malicious shit got 81 million votes?

Now watch as the election is just six weeks out for the Dems to say "The GOP is responsible for the Russians defeating Ukraine!  We had everything going our way but duh GOP refused to approve our modest, lifesaving, humanitarian request for a paltry $80 billion for the poor Ukrainians."  Just watch.

50th anniversary of the publication of first volume of "The Gulag Archipelago"

"Engineers," in the academic sense, aren't men who drive trains, but the people--99% male--who understand the laws of physics and strength of materials, and thus are able bring dreams to reality.

Most of you will be surprised to learn that the Russian Alexsandr Solzhenitzyn--famous as the author of "The Gulag Archipelago"--was originally an engineer.  He writes,

I had grown up among engineers, and I could remember the engineers of the [1920s] very well indeed: their open, shining intellects, their free and gentle humor, their agility and breadth of thought, the ease with which they shifted from one engineering field to another, and, for that matter, from technology to social concerns and art.
  They personified good manners and taste; well-bred, measured speech that was free of uncultured words; one of them might play a musical instrument, another dabble in painting; and their faces always bore a spiritual imprint.

Most Americans know almost nothing about science.  Look around you:  Who among your friends knows real science (as opposed to being a blowhard poseur)?  If you don't know science, you don't realize that the laws of nature--physics and all science--pay no heed at all to politics.  So when evil men want to rule others, and decide to command the laws of nature to obey them, what do you think the result will be?

If you have an IQ over 90 you'd instantly (and correctly) guess "not good."

As should be obvious, the true intellects of the Soviet Union weren't the power-hungry political types, but the men Solzhenitsyn described.  They instantly recognized that the communists were attempting to warp reality to advance themselves (and their cause).  And most of the engineers--not realizing how thoroughly the communists were spying on everyone--incautiously wrote letters to their friends criticizing the regime.

They all ended up in the gulag, where most died.  Some were executed, some "merely" worked to death, starved to death.  Of course young Americans know nothing of this--by design.  If you have kids (even 25 or 30 years old), ask 'em.

So what's the relevance to you, eh?

There is a force loose in the world today.  It wraps itself in the cloak of wise guidance: "Do as we say if you want to be saved."  But in truth the core pushers of this evil want to rule, eating steak while you and your children are limited to eating bugs.  They want you to walk to the store in your "15-minute cities" (look it up) while they're free fly their private jets to the world's most exclusive resorts.

They're using every psychological con to get you to submit to their rules.

“Every act of resistance to the government required heroism.  [Under Stalin, giving shelter to an orphan of someone the regime had declared an enemy of the people was suicide.] Nonetheless, many took such children in and saved them.”

“All you leftists in the West think my work is a waste of effort, but some day you will suddenly understand it--when you yourselves hear ‘hands behind your back, citizen!’"

Of course you don't believe he knew what he was saying, eh?  "Dis not possible here, citizen!"

After "The Gulag Archipelago" was published, American and European "intellectuals" were united in dismissing it as fiction.  Couldn't be true!  "Socialism is kind, benevolent, tolerant."  Oh, you bet.

Some socialists were more sneering: "Can’t make an omelet without breaking a few eggs, eh?"

Roll that around for a minute.

In 1978, after Archipelago’s publication, at Harvard Solzhenitsyn blasted the leftist professoriate for “a decline in courage, particularly noticeable among the ruling groups and the intellectual elite."

He added that there are many courageous individuals, but because the rulers and Media are all leftists, the courageous ones have no influence on public life.

In 2004 the future Pope Benedict XVI wrote "Marxism claimed it had to dispense with ethical principles--just temporarily, of course.  It used terror because terror--in their hands--was necessary to achieve their 'noble' ends."

When the Berlin wall fell and the human devastation of communism became visible, even for a moment, the communists went undercover, burrowing into universities and government posts, but still working to bring about the socialist utopia.

Residents of the West refuse to recognize evil, and hence refuse to confront its manifestations until no choice remains. That defect usually causes needless suffering and death.  See, for example, WW2.

Meanwhile the majority of American men "lead lives of quiet desperation," keeping their heads down and saying nothing, to avoid being fired--or sentenced to prison for 22 years for walking into the capitol on Jan 6th.

And if that last vid didn't scare ya, try this one:

Hard as it is to believe, thanks to the cunning Democrats this creature is your vice-preznit.  And if Porridgebrain has a "medical condition," this creature takes over the top "leadership" post in the U.S.

Thanks, Democrats!

Compilation: all the lies by the biden regime about "our southern border is secure"

Only two minutes to watch.  Well worth your time to see how brazenly you've been lied to every day.

Bernie Sanders took all the shots and boosters, says he has covid

Scared Democrats (and others) who got the original "vax,"--both shots and all the "boosters"--keep getting covid.  

Democrat (and other sheep): "But...but...but I thought they told us the "vaccine" was "effective," which we naturally though meant if you had all the damn shots you wouldn't get duh virus!"  

Top Democrat leaders and Media parrots: "NOOooo, citizen!  No one EVAH said if you took the vax you couldn't get covid!  That's just a Republican lie!  A 'right-wing violent extremist conspiracy story'!"

Really?  Wow, that's a relief!  Cuz for a minute there I was a tiny bit concerned that the regime and the Media LIED to us!  It's a relief to know I just imagined that!

Oh wait...

Sure glad the regime didn't lie to us, eh?  Cuz I wouldn't wanna worry that I'd dragged my kids to get the unsafe injection when they didn't benefit from it, eh?

"Surely the U.S. Left will eventually realize that Islam doesn't tolerate their core goals, right?"

As pro-Paleswinian protests mount in more U.S. cities I'm starting to see an interesting argument appear on conservative sites:  It's that eventually the U.S. Left must surely wake up and realize that the core precepts of Islam are antithetical to the left's cherished goals.

At first glance this reasoning seems utterly plausible.  Islam has no tolerance for gays, trannies, feminism, music, dancing, alcohol, drugs or late-night "comedy" shows.  Hence many Americans buy the idea that since the Left loves all these things, they'll eventually realize they don't want Islam to prevail.

This rationalization is dangerous because it allows the average voter to ignore the fact that the Left is winning the war for control of the country, and that we don't have the courage to stop 'em.  It serves as an argument to oppose any effective countermeasures.

What most don't realize is that the most important goals of the Left are NOT the things listed above that Islam doesn't tolerate.  Instead the overriding goal of the Left is to destroy Christianity, and then everything that was and is good about America.  Turn it into Iran.  

Too many Americans comfort themselves with the rationalization explained above, but the most important goals of the Left are the ones just noted.  The hard-core Left (as opposed to the diletantes) considers gays, trannies and feminists merely momentary allies--useful idiots--and will happily show 'em the truth once the Left decides it can't be overthrown.
 

How does the government decide to label a claim "misinformation?"

What process does the government use to label a claim "misinformation?"

Naive people believe the regime only says something is "misinformation" if it's false, but that's clearly wrong, as when "your" government declared that claims by independent researchers that the "vax" was both ineffective and dangerous were "disinformation."

The same thing happened when researchers found the covid virus was modified in a Chinese lab.  Regime said it was disinformation.  But it was true, as most researchers are beginning to quietly admit.

Or like the claim that Fauci sent taxpayer funds to the Wuhan lab to fund "gain of function" research.  He hotly denied it to congress, but we have the grant numbers, and a thank-you from the head of that lab herself, in a paper published in 2015.  So again, true claim, regime calls it disinformation.

As you likely guessed, misinformation, disinformation or the hip, trendy "malinformation" is often true things that your rulers--or their Media lackeys--don't want you to know.

Literally the only test is, if the Democrat regime doesn't want you to believe something, they call it disinformation--even if the information is totally true.

Again, the bit of information can be totally true, but if it bucks the policies of the Democrat party, the biden regime will label it "disinformation." And their Media allies will dutifully parrot that claim.

But as more Americans are beginning to realize that the biden regime and their Media allies consistently lie to us, the regime has mounted a cunning counterattack: An article last week in Forbes (??) claims that simply doing your own research is a "threat to democracy."

Seriously.  The title is "Why ‘Doing Your Own Research’ May Make You Believe Fake News."  And note the scare-quotes around the phrase "doing your own research"--implying that doing one's own research doesn't help you discover when the regime and the Media are lying to ya.

Naturally any claim like that sounds so absurd that you can't believe it.  Well here are the first three 'grafs of the article: 

In an age in which misinformation abounds, how do you determine what is real and what is fake?  New research suggests telling truth from fiction may be more difficult that many people realise [sic; the author is a brit].
   Following a series of experiments, a team of researchers found that study participants were consistently 19% more likely to believe "fake news" after they had performed an online search to figure out the truth.
   That's important, the experts say, because the prevalence and success of such misinformation poses a direct threat to democracy.

Note the cunning, intentional implied definition that ANY search online gives "misinformation."  Subtle, eh?  Bet you missed that the first time.  And if you think that quote is "fake news," click the link to the article and see for yourself.

Oh wait!  The alleged Forbes website could be a fake, eh?  Sure.

Two 'grafs later the propagandists write

Misinformed beliefs can also threaten public health, such as in the case of vaccine misinformation, or be used by powerful interest groups to manipulate public sentiment against climate action measures, such as the development of renewable energy projects.

Wow, in a single 'graf the shills managed to include
    *"threaten public health" (vax skeptics)
    *threats if anyone questions whether CO2 is causing non-trivial global warming;
    *anyone who questions the soundness of so-called "renewable energy projects."

Kinda surprised the author didn't throw in the "threat to our democracy" posed by those who oppose the biden regime's open borders policy, or those who believe China is not our friend, or who believe the IDF should destroy Hamas terrorists.

The cunning Forbes article, in turn, is based on a really crappy paper published in the total propaganda organ "Nature."  It's well worth a look to see how cleverly and brazenly these rat-bastards are trying to keep people from looking at ANY information not approved by the regime.

And in this vein, if you want a glimpse of orgs you've never heard of that are really controlling things, take a look at a page called "doi.org" 

"DOI" claims to "govern the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) system on behalf of the agencies who manage DOI registries and provide services to their respective communities."  It piously claims to be a "standards organization" devoted to ensuring the "persistence" of "digital objects."  

Really?  Wanna bet?  Oh sure, "digital objects" (like posts and papers) the Left favors will be carefully preserved to ensure they're available 50 years from now.  But if ya think "doi.org" will save posts by conservative skeptics I've got a bridge to sell ya.

NY Times prints total pro-Hamas propaganda piece. Worth reading

The ghastly New York Times is a total Leftist propaganda rag.  But its editors piously claim "We're committed to publishing a diversity of letters to the editor."

Of course that's horseshit: The Times would never publish a solid defense of, say, Donald Trump.  But the pious claim fools the rubes, which serves the Left's purpose.

So...on Christmas Eve the Times published a masterful propaganda piece from the mayor of Gaza City, wailing that the Palestinians are merely innocent victims of duh mean Israelis.  See, to hear duh mayor tell it, the Palis are total victims: dey dindoo nuffin when dey elected Hamas to rule Gaza.

So when 2,000 Hamas terrorists blew holes in the fence and invaded Israel, viciously raping and murdering Israelis and capturing 240 or so as hostages, duh Palis were, like, "We din' know nuffin bout dis!  So if yew Israelis retaliate, yew are murderous terrorists!  Cuz, see, none of us innocent Pali civilians knew our sons an' husbands wuz gonna do dis.  Yep yep yep."

What utter horseshit.  Sure, only a few hundred folks outside of the terrorist troops probably knew, yet no one tipped off the Israelis.

Now, that's totally understandable.  Tipping off the enemy gets you killed.  Well, unless you're a CIA or FBI agent spying for Russia, in which case you're tipped off in time to flee to Russia before they can arrest you.

In any case: The Palis are now engaged in their classic Media offensive, wailing "We din'doo nuffin, an' yet dem mean Israelis are killing us innocent civilians!"  And of course the Media is parroting that line.

Got a clue for ya, sparky:  Don't do that unprovoked invade/rape/murder stuff, and none of this happens.

I don't have a dog in this hunt, but I don't blame the Israelis for saying "Enough is enough" and being determined to kill any Hamas fighter who refuses to surrender.

Here's the propaganda piece from the Times:
===

As a teenager I watched the construction of the beautiful cultural center in Gaza City, with a theater, grand hall, library and printing press.

Wait, I thought the Israelis wouldn't allow you to import construction material--you know, duh "blockade" you constantly wail about.

The center was the gem of Gaza City. Watching it being built inspired me to become an engineer, which led to a career as a professor and eventually mayor of Gaza City.
   Now that gem is rubble. It was destroyed by Israeli bombardment.

Wow.  Ever heard the famous line "Don't START nothin', won't BE nothin'"?

The Israeli invasion has caused the deaths of more than 20,000 people, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, and destroyed or damaged about half the buildings in the territory. The Israelis have also pulverized something else: Gaza City’s cultural riches and municipal institutions.

Again, you've been claiming you couldn't import anything due to the alleged "blockade."  And yet you built hundreds of modern buildings.  And hundreds of miles of costly tunnels.  

The unrelenting destruction of Gaza — its iconic symbols, its beautiful seafront, its libraries and archives and whatever economic prosperity it had — has broken my heart.

I do understand, really.  Sounds like you'd built a successful, thriving society.  Imagine how much more fabulous it would have been if a) your thug leaders hadn't embezzled ten BILLION dollars in aid money; and b) spent another billion or two on tunnels.  Suggest you review famous line above.

The Gaza zoo has been destroyed, with many of its animals killed or starved to death, including wolves, hyenas, birds and rare foxes.

Yes that IS sad.  They were innocent.  Suggest you review the famous line...

Other casualties include the city’s main  library, the Children’s Happiness Center, the municipal building and its archive, and the seventh-century Great Omari Mosque. Israeli forces have also damaged or destroyed streets, squares, mosques, churches and parks.

Say, how many churches were in Gaza?  Cuz Muzz aren't known for tolerating Christianity.  And "Children's Happiness Center"?  Well done!

One of my goals after the Hamas administration appointed me mayor was to improve the city’s seafront and foster the opening of small businesses along it to create jobs. It took us four years to finish the project.  It took Israel only weeks to destroy it.

Talk to the people who lived in WW2 Germany and Japan.  They died in the hundreds of thousands because of stupid decisions by their rulers.

Why did the Israeli tanks destroy so many trees, electricity poles, cars and water mains? Why would Israel hit a U.N. school? The obliteration of our way of life in Gaza is indescribable. I still feel I am in a nightmare because I can’t imagine how any sane person could engage in such a horrific campaign of destruction and death.

"Don't START nothin'...."

Gaza was established in 1893 and [as of October 7, 2023] had about 800,000 residents.  Even after Israel forcibly displaced more than one million Palestinians from northern Gaza after the war began, much of the population in the city remained.

The IDF warned residents of Gaza to evacuate to the soutwest end of the territory.  Hamas prevented many tens of thousands from leaving, hoping the presence of so many civilians would deter the IDF from attacking.  Using civilians as shields is a classic Muzz tactic, but the IDF was having none of it this time.

If you force civilians to act as a shield for your terrorist troops, you can't wail and cry if they get killed--because you counted on the IDF being guilted into not attacking.  You chose badly.

Almost everyone in Gaza has lost a home or relative.  My oldest son was killed.  Israel, which began its blockade of Gaza more than 16 years ago and has maintained what the UN and human rights groups call an ongoing occupation for far longer, is destroying life here.

Wait...you're claiming Israel has "maintained what the U.N. and others call an ongoing occupation for far longer" than 16 years?  "Ongoing occupation" implies it's still going on.  Apparently you counted on the leftist NY Times not to tell stupid American readers that Israel totally withdrew from Gaza back in 2007.

And that Israel supplies Gaza with much of its electricity and water.  How brutal!

I call on the everyone to pressure world leaders to stop this mindless destruction.

"Don't START nothin'...."

Why can’t Palestinians be treated equally, like Israelis and all other peoples in the world? Why can’t we live in peace and have open borders and free trade?

Even with the top leaders of Hamas having stolen billions in aid money, Gaza was a thriving society: hotels, cultural centers, restaurants, car dealerships, everything.  You allowed some very thuggish, dumb, selfish people to rule you and use you as shields.  You chose badly.
 
You've made a great living by playing on the sympathy of gullible rubes, with the help of leftist Media types.  To do so you decided to leave Hamas in power, and now that the results are in, we see no evidence that anyone in Gaza has decided to re-examine your strategy.

We had a huge civil war here.  Despite brilliant military leadership, the South was eventually defeated by the larger, far more industrialized North.  General Robert E. Lee could have ordered his troops to switch to guerilla warfare that could have lasted another four years, but he was brilliant, and realized the eventual outcome would be the same.

In 1913--fifty years after the battle of Gettysburg that marked the high point of Southern advance--survivors of that battle gathered on that battlefield and embraced across a symbolic fence.  

They realized--as you and your fellows clearly don't--that the past need not define and rule the present.  God gave humans free will--every morning we get to choose whether to do this or that.

Someone said that the surest sign of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, and expecting a different result.  So, a modest suggestion: take a page from the life of the great general Lee.  Turn in your weapons, vow to embrace peace, and see what happens.  

It seems to have worked for us, at least for 160 years or so.  Of course we're starting to have serious problems, but we--like you--must believe they can be solved.  You can choose a new and better way.

"It can't happen here"

For the last 30 years or so the U.S. has been running on inertia--spending the social capital built up by earlier (and likely better and wiser) generations and institutions.

One is reminded of the reign of the emperor Nero in the late stages of the  Roman Empire.  And a reasonable question is, how long can a nation with such corrupt, incompetent rulers last?

If we are to have a chance to recover, we need to understand how we got here, and the nature of the fatal end to which they're taking us--with most Americans having no idea of any of this.

Within weeks of biden's installation it became clear that U.S. policies were being "fundamentally changed."  He has abandoned the idea of America being able to deter aggression by opponents.  Opponents know they can do anything, without fear of U.S. reprisal.

Our allies don't trust us, for good reasons.

After the disastrous flight from Afghanistan in 2021, the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the 2023 Chinese sending a huge spy balloon on a long, leisurely, uncontested flight over the U.S, the recent Hamas invasion of Israel, the serial Iranian-fueled terrorist attacks on U.S. installations in the Middle East, and the terrorist Houthis’ attacks on Red Sea shipping, America’s enemies realize that the Democrat regime is no longer a factor.

Every honest member of the armed forces knows that the regime's insistence on the woke agenda--demanding soldiers use "preferred pronouns," abolishing fitness standards (to supposedly meet recruiting goals) and promoting on the basis of diversity rather than competence are causing fit, capable males to avoid joining.

Even if voters manage to kick the Democrats out of control of the government, reversing that downward trend will take decades, if ever.

From biden's installation, the biden/mayorkas regime has flagrantly, brazenly violated federal immigration law.  They have erased our border, allowing more than 8 million unvetted aliens to illegally enter the U.S., and the rate is growing, with 242,000 in November and the same number in December with a week remaining in the month.  That's a rate of three million per year, up slightly from 2021 and 2022.

The regime is flying these illegals to cities far from the border, knowing that barely one out of 20 will show up for their immigration hearing.  Yet the regime releases them into the U.S. anyway.

If someone breaks our laws to enter the U.S, is that person likely to be a good U.S. citizen?

It's significant that these millions of illegal aliens were never required to take the ineffective covid "clot shot," nor have a background check.  The biden regime will soon be demanding that U.S. citizens have "real" IDs to fly, but do you think the illegals will have to obey the same decree?

Right now illegal aliens are flown to every city without any identification at all.

Leftist university faculty and administrators have been indoctrinating college students for 40 years or more.  Most can't be fired.  By contrast, even tenured conservatives have been fired for refusing to toe the left's line.

The double-standards were perfectly revealed when the corrupt board of Harvard refused to fire black female president Claudine Gay, despite dozens of instances of her plagiarizing in her weak "scholarly writings."

Harvard’s leftist board even coined a new euphemism—“duplicative language”--to rationalize defending her against a charge that they've suspended ordinary students for.

Most recently four Ivy-league Colorado supreme court justices ORDERED Donald Trump's name removed from the 2024 ballot.  Although the ruling will be stayed pending appeal, the precedent has been established.  They claimed the 14th Amendment, passed just after the end of the U.S. Civil War, barring those who had joined the Confederacy from holding a federal office.

Aside from the misapplication of the spirt and letter of that post-Civil War legislation, those responsible for erasing Trump know that he has never been charged with, much less convicted of “insurrection--and never will be.  But this didn't deter the four Ivy-league judges.

Honest Americans may have noticed that Hillary Clinton destroyed subpoenaed emails and devices and was never even charged.  The FBI lied to get judges to issue "FISA warrants," and lied again in denying that it pressured social media to delete posts the biden regime didn't like, but no charges.

The biden/yellen regime has been propping up the economy by spending money we don't have, and must borrow.  Spending like there's no tomorrow.  In past presidencies a deficit of $400 BILLION was considered a disaster.  Biden's deficit for FY2023 (which ended September 30th) was over four times worse, at $1.7 trillion.  

The amazingly incompetent Yellen was warned that spending so MUCH borrowed money in a single non-wartime year would fuel inflation, but she's either too stupid to believe it, or couldn't get biden's handlers to listen.  And inflation spiked to the highest level in 30 years.  Now the *rate* of inflation has dropped, which the media implies means prices are falling.  They're not, but polls show the average Democrat thinks they are.

The nation is burdened by a $34 trillion national debt.  Many young Americans don't know that we have to pay interest on that vast debt—and that in the current year all economists agree that the amount we'll have to pay in interest will be right at a TRILLION dollars.

"Experts" often write "At some point soon, future Americans are going to have to exercise spending restraint."  This is called "whistling past the graveyard."  There is no chance at all of any corrupt pol trying to rein in our massive deficits.  They *could,* of course, but they won't.

Far safer to just go along with "continuing resolutions" keeping government spending at current, insane levels.  (Young readers: if you're not familiar with "continuing resolutions"...)

World War Two began on September 1, 1939.  France was then considered a major power, and had a defense system they were confident would protect them.  You cannot imagine how stunned the world was when German troops out-flanked the French Maginot Line and forced France to surrender in a mere ten MONTHS.

Most of you know nothing true about military history, so this is entirely foreign to you.  You think it couldn't happen here, not because of logic but because of a psychological defense mechanism called "normalcy bias."

Look it up.

The French army between the world wars was plagued by crazy ideology, effete generals, corruption, mediocrity and dumb strategies.

Democrat: "But dat can't happen *here,* citizen!  Ouah brilliant leader and his handlers [st] brilliant assistants like Merrick Garland, Jennifer Granholm, Tony Blinken, Pete Buttigeig, Alejandro Mayorkas and Xavier Becerra would *nevah* allow that!  Cuz dey all reel smaht!  Dey beez Hahvahd grads, jus' like dat smaht Claudine Gay!"

Starting to understand yet?

Because I'm fairly old, and the nation isn't likely to implode before I'm gone--and I don't have kids--the fate of the U.S. is only of academic interest to me.  But if you have kids--or if you're a young American who wants to have a family at some point--you should be mad as hell.

If you knew what I know, you'd be organizing to defeat the Democrat party at every level.  Don't know if that will save us, but you can be assured that if the Dems keep control in 2024, we're dead.

Conservative women vs. fake women

 

Dem eco-freaks were poised to ORDER min % of of EVs when a big storm hit, and...

In late October the state environmental agency of Maine was a day away from a vote to mandate that in ten years 82% of all new cars sold in that Dem-ruled craphole had to be electric.

Roll that around in your head for a minute.

If moronic, tyrannical pols DECREE that a certain percentage of cars be electric, what do ya think would happen if the stubborn, deplorable citizens failed to obey, eh?

Sure: the tyrants would slap a huge state tax on gasoline, or add $100 to the yearly licence renewal, to punish anyone who didn't have an EV.

And if that didn't do the trick, just double the penalty, eh?  At some level of fines, the pain will force the disobedient to comply, eh?

Well...just before the vote on the EV DECREE, a big storm hit, causing widespread power outages.

The bureaucrats at the Maine Board of Environmental Protection decided that voting to ORDER residents to buy 82% EVs just after huge electrical outages might show citizens the con.

But people have short memories, so after a couple of weeks Democrat tyrants like governor Janet Mills will go right back to ordering residents to buy electric.

At last count natural gas and coal were the source of 67% of all electricity in the U.S.  But because the idiots running the biden regime (and the Obozo regime before that) want to kill all carbon fuels, the EPA has imposed severe restrictions on U.S. natural gas production, by imposing harsh rules to reduce methane emissions.

Those rules will make it much more expensive to explore for and produce natural gas--which of course is the point.

At the same time, the EPA is imposing harsh restrictions on coal use.  Because the cost of compliance is so high, utilities
have already announced plans to dismantle almost half the existing coal fleet within the next six years.

The attack on the fuels that power two-thirds of U.S. electrical output will cause your electricity bill to spike, and will reduce reliability of electrical supply.

Of course the biden regime and its lackeys in the EPA don't give a damn.  Their stated goal in doing this is to "reduce global warming," but the orders will have almost no effect on global CO2 output.
 
The real objectives are getting you to obey, and to cripple the economy.

Mobility is freedom.  The communists of the former Soviet Union controlled the movement of their citizens by requiring internal passports.  Democrats aren't ready to try that, so they use the threat of Global Warming to get Americans to hobble themselves.

Christmas, 2023

Christmas day dinner, 2023, per Jim Penland:

Husband to wife: "What's your favorite thing to make for Christmas dinner?"

Wife: "Reservations."

Tranny male-to-female fashion model sues his agency for killing his/her career by claiming he/she was ‘insufficiently masculine’ to work in men’s fashion

A faaabulously androgynous 30-year-old modeled mens' fashions, but became so enamored with his/her androgynous look that he/she "transitioned" and started modeling womens' fashions.

Then after a few months he/she says his/her agency told him/her he/she wasn't masculine enough to model menswear.

The NERVE of that business owner, eh? 

He/she then screamed that refusing to pay him to model menswear "violated his civil rights"--specifically the law that makes trannies a "specially-protected class" and allows them to make everyone else do as they demand.

There are just a few problems with this novel theory, mainly that to the surprise of damn near everyone, Title IX of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 does NOT extend "specially-protected class" status given to girls and gays to trannies.

You probably think it does because after the Dems tried to amend the law to do that (the so-called "Equality Act"), Nancy Pelosi realized she didn't have the votes to pass it, so she never brought it up for a floor vote.

So at that point biden's handlers had Porridgebrain sign a carefully-drafted Executive Order stating that the policy of his regime shall be to add "or gender identity" to every mandatory action item in the existing law.

Now for young Americans who know nothing about our Constitution: It does NOT give any president the power to write "laws."  That authority is given SOLELY to congress.  Got it?

So: After officially "transitioning" from sorta-male to sorta-female, the snowflake model said he/she told his/her agency that he/she no longer wanted to model as a female, and instead wanted to model male clothes again, but that the agency refused.  He/she says company execs told him/her his/her looks were “insufficiently masculine” for the agency to put him/her on its roster of male models.

One more twist: If the court doesn't find the snowflake's claims of discrimination against trannies violate Title IX, the snowflake's attorneys have an alternate legal argument ready: claiming "sex discrimination" against...women.  Which IS covered.  Very clever.

The next piece of the puzzle: Dem-ruled cities are encrypting police radios so citizens can't listen

The next piece of the puzzle is falling into place.

Many Americans monitor police radio frequencies, using a device that constantly scans known freqs for transmissions.

Democrats: "Dis beez DANGEROUS!  We can't allow deplorables to hear uncensored police transmissions, since that might reveal something truthful, thus damaging to our Party.  Wait, I mean 'damaging to our precious Democracy.'  Yeh, dat's it!"

Corruptocrats couldn't ban scanners without making the con too obvious, so instead many corrupt Dem mayors (rulers) have ordered police radios to be encrypted, so the scanners won't receive police radio.

New York City, Chitcongo, San Francisco, Baltimore, Denver and San Diego County are among places Democrat rulers have already encrypted radio signals to some degree.  Minneapolis, totally ruled by leftists, says it will begin encryption next year.

Indianapolis is considering it.

See, the only way a dictatorship can continue to exist is by keeping its subjects (which you are) from knowing what it's doing.  You only hear, read and see the censored version--what they want you to know.

But hey, dis no big deal, eh?  It just like the regime got social media to delete anything they didn't like.  Wait, I mean "to delete misinformation," citizen.  The FBI told Fakebook and pre-Musk Twatter to delete anything the regime didn't like--for your own good, of course.  So preventing you from listening to police radio no different!  And if you complain, you must be a dangerous violent extremist.

You were okay wif the FBI "urging" social media to censor ya, so you beez okay wif dis too, right?  If not, just say so, on the Net, and the men with the military weapons will come see you and set you straight.

See, when politicians bleat about "the public airwaves" (broadcast frequencies), it makes ordinary people think the public owns the airwaves.

Hahahahahahahaha!  Silly deplorables!  By "the public" they mean the gruberment owns the airwaves.  And obviously if dey own it, dey can control who gets to use it, right?  Which means you have no right to listen to anything broadcast over the air unless the government gives you permission to.

See, when you listen to a police broadcast, you're actually eavesdropping on a private conversation, citizen!  And you know there are severe penalties for that!  

So by encrypting police radios we're actually protecting YOU from accidentally eavesdropping, which would result in prison time, eh?  So dis for your own good, deplorable!  So you should thank us.

GM buys out nearly half of its Buick dealers across the country that opt to not sell EVs

Last year the Buick division of GM asked its franchise dealerships to spend $300,000 to $400,000 to buy equipment needed to service doze faaaabulous electric vehicles.

Nearly half the Buick dealers in the U.S. said no thanks, so now GM has bought out those dealers.

This means GM will lose about 1,000 Buick dealerships nationwide--a drop of about half in just one year.  Since the average dealership has about 100 employees, some economists worried that this would cause unemployment to increase.

biden regime press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre disputed the math but declined to elaborate.  She did say closing the dealerships is actually good news because it offers former employees the chance to take better-paying jobs in state or federal government, or in the growing, high-paying field of home health-care.

GM previously announced all its cars will be electric by 2030, which biden "climate czar" John Heinz Kerry said is definitely good news since it will reduce emissions of the deadly gas "CO2" which Scientists predice will destroy all life on Erf if not reduced to the 1945 level real soon.

Separately, GM announced it will lay off 1,300 factory workers.  Company spokeslackeys said GM will use the savings to hire more Diversity/Equity monitors at far higher salaries.  The company says it expects the two moves combined will save over $5,000 a year.  

The company's stock jumped on the news.

Remember, the economy is booming, citizen.

James Biden got a $200,000 "loan" from a U.S. company, wrote Joe a check on the same day.

More evidence of the total corruption of the biden crime family keeps being revealed.

On Monday testimony before the House Oversight Committee claimed that on March 1, 2018, James biden received what was supposedly a "loan" from a distressed company, in exchange for the preznit's influence securing investment from overseas.  

The same day James got a bank wire for $200,000 from the company, he wrote Joe a check for exactly the same amount--$200,000--writing "loan repayment" on the memo line.

This is even more damning in view of the fact that James did exactly the same thing just six months earlier, writing a $40,000 check to joe in September of 2017, and again writing "loan repayment" on the memo line. 

Because the earlier check had cleared the bank without raising any red flags or objections, the corrupt brothers figured "Why not do it again," eh?

The distressed company was Americore. In January of 2020 the FBI raided Americore’s offices.  A few weeks later the health care company’s former CEO filed a lawsuit accusing James biden of fraud, and of violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.

Documents prepared as part of the legal proceedings claimed James got what was called a $600,000 "loan" from the company, but didn't deliver on his promise to use the Biden family name to bring the company investments from the Middle East.

James biden eventually paid Americore $350,000 to settle the lawsuit.  And of course that settlement was never reported, cuz...reasons.

Americore filed for bankruptcy, and on Monday court-appointed bankruptcy trustee Carol Fox confirmed to the House Oversight Committee that the company had quietly loaned $600,000 to James biden, in exchange for the president's influence.

On Monday, when House investigators showed trustee Fox the $200,000 check to Joe, she didn't show any surprise or dispute its authenticity.  So was there any documentation that Joe had "loaned" his brother $200,000?

Hahahahahahahaha!

But amusingly, the "elites" and members of the Democrat leadership, and the Mainstream Media all still continue to claim joe never took a bribe.  "Dat pic of a check is jus' Photoshopped," they bleat.  "Fake!  Nevah cleared the bank!  You can't even read the signature!  Total fake by duh Rethuglicans!"

(For young Americans who don't know: it's against U.S. law for elected officials to take bribes.  Also for young Americans, for at least 30 years Democrats have brazenly violated U.S. laws without any punishment.  Indeed, without even being charged.  Two sets of laws, kids: Is this a great country or what?)

My well-educated but deliberately uninformed siblings simply ignore the question and change the subject.  Like most Democrat voters, they can't admit any of this is true, since that would mean admitting they've been totally conned, played, by a corrupt Party.

They hated Trump so much that they voted for a corrupt life-long grifter.  And no matter how much evidence is found, they'll never admit they were duped by the Mainstream Media.

Wheeee!

And yet no one dares to impeach the corrupt son of a bitch because then Cackles would become preznit.  Brilliant strategy, Democrats.  Just as you ensured Obozo couldn't be impeached since that would catapult the equally corrupt biden into the Oval Office.

Thieves steal copper wiring from artsy new $588 million bridge in L.A.

A couple of years ago Los Angeles replaced an old bridge.  The new one cost $588 million--including millions to put hi-tech lights under its 20 arches.

The project was completed in July of 2022.

A few days ago a third of those lights stopped working.  Actually no one knows exactly when they stopped, but they do know why: thieves stole the valuable copper wiring.

Thieves steal copper wire because it's easy, and because there's so much of it that it's impossible to guard it all.  And re-cyclers pay the thieves for the copper wire without asking questions.  Just like the massive thefts of catalytic converters--$2,000 in repair cost for thugs to get $50 bucks for the platinum plating.   

The Public Works Department refuses to say when they think the wiring will be replaced.

The city admits this is not the first time thieves have stolen street light wiring.

My fix: Execute copper thieves.  On live TV.  Then when you replace the wiring, weld the damn access panels shut.

Instead, since this is the corrupt, criminal-coddling shithole of LA, in the equally corrupt Peoples' Republic of Cali, none of the above will happen.  There will be no effort to block these thefts.  The morons who run the city will simply replace the wires--at a cost of a few hundred thousand dollars--and a few months later the thieves will return for another $2,000 night.

This will keep getting worse end as long as the Democrats rule, since the corrupt, Soros-backed DA refuses to prosecute thieves, drug dealers, rapists and murderers.

Democrat: "Gee deplorable, stop whining!  Dis not a big deal!  The city has insurance that will cover that!"

Here's the hoot: The 20 arches that were so lavishly lit?  They aren't "structural," meaning they aren't needed for the bridge to work.  "Well why are they there?"  Answer: They're just "artistic."  And if putting those unneeded arches on the bridge added $150 million to the cost, so what?  

Cuz...Art, citizen.  Fo' duh rezidents of L.A, Art is reeeely worth spending millions on.

Leaked Democrat talking point describes a great new bill

To: Party Members
From: Majority Leader Schumer
Subject: New bill to defend our Democracy

Americans know one of the most important keys to the survival of our precious Democracy is a free press.  We depend on newspapers to know what's happening.

Unfortunately the rise of the Internet has caused many Americans to turn to sources other than our trusted major newspapers to get their news.  Similarly, as companies that have always advertised in newspapers have started advertising on websites, newpaper ad revenue has dropped.

These factors have caused many major newspapers to lose money, and have forced many to lay off journalists, reducing the amount of trustworthy, accurate, government-verified information available to good Americans.  
 
This is a dire threat to our democracy.  We can't afford to lose vital journalists, or let even one major newspaper fail.  After all, as the Washington Post says, "Democracy dies in darkness."

So after Jan 1 our Party will introduce a bill called the Securing Honest Information Today Act.  Following the precedent set by our caring president in repaying student loans for certain borrowers, this Act will pay newspapers the same amount they currently receive from subscribers each year.  Of course subscribers will still pay the usual amount to subscribe to the paper, but the papers will now have enough revenue to keep them from having to cut back on the vital, trusted news we depend on.

The cost of this subsidy will be paid by requiring every entity that writes a political or news blog to get a license, probably for a nominal $25,000 per year.  The revenue from these licenses is forecast to cover the entire billion-dollar cost of the subsidy to newspapers.

The Act will also create a new office under the Federal Communications Commission to monitor the Internet to ensure that everyone who posts political or news content has the required license.

A second office will be created under the Department of Homeland Security to arrest anyone who publishes without the required license.

This Act will safeguard our precious Democracy from mis-information, dis-information and mal-information spread by our adversaries, like the Trump-supporting  Russians.  It will also ensure that Americans aren't endangered by seeing stories charging friendly nations like China with absurd things like "modifying viruses," as many right-wing extremist bloggers claimed with Covid-19.

As you celebrate the holidays with your supporters back home, tell them how important the "Supporting Honest Information Today" act is to safeguarding our precious democracy, and to defeating our opponents, which must be done if our precious Democracy is to survive.

A good quote you can use is from a journalism professor who said 

“We can't just let the free market reduce the influence of journalists.  We must insist that Democrats do whatever it takes to ensure flagship pro-Democrat newspapers thrive. In fact, ensuring that voters only read and see approved news is so important that government should fund Democrat-supporting newspapers.”

Happy Holidays,
Chuck

"Everything is great, citizen!"...and other propaganda.

Folks who write movie scripts sometimes write (or merely copy) timeless truths.

Everyone has their favorites.  One of mine is "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist."

Movie fans will recognize that line from the excellent movie "The Usual Suspects" (very bloody but well worth your time), but the idea is usually credited to Charles Baudelaire in 1864.  And actually many earlier examples exist.

So what's the relevance to us?

If you know nothing about history you naturally think tomorrow will be nearly the same as today (and every other day).  That belief makes life much less stressful. But the fact is that we're getting very close to an economic meltdown, at a time of dire threats both internal and foreign.

Democrats: "Nonsense!  You're just making this up!  Our Democrat leaders are very smaht and competent!  Duh border is more secure than ever!  The economy is booming!  Prices are no longer rising!  China is our friend!  We don't know anyone who's died from fentanyl!  Our greatest threat is Global Warming!  Our greatest threat is White Supremacy!  Diversity is our strength!  Freedom is slavery!  War is peace!  Ignorance is strength!  President biden did NOT take bribes from China!  The 2020 election was the most honest in history!

Recognize those bleats?

And worse, this is all happening at a time when we're being "led" by arguably the most inept, stupid, corrupt morons in history.

Ever since the Bolshevik Revolution (that was in Russia), the "elites" who ran the NY Times, WaPo, Time Magazine and the other Mainstream outlets have always fawned over communism.  They kept assuring us that the Cold War was just a right-wing fantasy, and implied that communism was barely different from capitalism.  They assured us that the Soviet Union (now simply Russia) was our friend.

It wasn’t until 2020 that the "elites" and their friends in the Media --desperate to find a way to defeat pro-America, pro-capitalism Donald Trump--totally reversed this Narrative, suddenly claiming that Russia was indeed a grave threat to the U.S. because...wait for it..."Trump colluded with Putin to steal the 2016 election from Hilliary."

The Left didn't remotely believe that, of course, but recognized that bleating "Trump colluded with Putin to steal the election" could be used to sabotage Trump's entire term in office.  And the Media ensured that it did.

From the 1960s through today, virtually all the "cool kids" have been anti-American students, college professors and Hollywood writers.  They were absolutely certain that the U.S. was founded on evil principles by evil white-supremacist Founders, and had to be fundamentally changed.

(Obama: "We're going to fundamentally change this country."  Hmm...)

If one of those changes ended freedom of speech for people the Left didn't like, so what?  If they permitted the imprisonment of Americans for saying forbidden things, or walking into the capitol building, so what?  As Stalin famously said, You can't make an omelette without breaking eggs.

The seeds of what we’re experiencing now were planted long ago, when few Americans realized what was happening.  So when 2020 came along, all the pieces were in place to allow the Democrat party to commit massive election fraud.

The Democrats knew that once a winner was announced, claims of massive election fraud would be ignored, because no judge would dare stop the proclaimed winner, even if the evidence was overwhelming.

Recall that just months earlier, rioting leftists had burned down entire blocks of U.S. cities because a black drug dealer in police custody had swallowed his stash and died.  

George Floyd's autopsy found he had five times the lethal dose of fentanyl in his blood, and no injury to his neck.  Didn't matter--the Narrative overwhelmed reality.

Would any judge re-ignite those riots by delaying the inauguration that would rid the Democrats of duh Orange Man?  Not on your life.

So now, with the next presidential election just 11 months away, and biden trailing in the crucial swing states that decide the election, do ya think the Dems will just shrug and say "Well, ya win some an' lose some, eh?"

Or do you think they'll double down to steal this one too--knowing how easy it is to do, and how easily they got away with it last time?

Just watch: as election day approaches, every poll run by the Mainstream Media will show the race almost even--cuz it's the only way they can make the steal seem believable.

Watch for the TV networks to call crucial swing states for the Democrat with only one or two percent of the vote tallied. Not reasonable, but that's exactly what happened in 2020 in Arizona.

Watch for vote totals to show Trump leading until 3 a.m., then a huge batch at 3 a.m. being marked 99% for the Democrat (statistically impossible).

Watch for city cops in Democrat-ruled cities keeping GOP poll watchers out of the ballot-opening, scanning and signature-matching areas--which is just what happened in 2020.

The Dems know how easy it is to cheat. 

More later.

Some comments about the ruling by the four Ivy-League judges in Colorado to keep Trump off the ballot

Law professor JonathanTurley responds to the ruling by the Colorado supreme court:

“This country is a powder keg and this court [colorado] is throwing matches at it. For people who claim they're trying to protect democracy, this is hands down the most anti-democratic opinion I’ve seen in my lifetime.”

Colo SC: "We hereby rule that Trump will not be allowed on the ballot.  See, people who want Trump don't realize he's a threat to our precious democracy.  So we simply can't allow you to vote for him.  Simple.  And in fact we're concerned that the two main political parties may not come up with acceptable nominees without our guidance.  So we decree that in 2024 the nominees shall be governor Gavin Newsom and Nikki Haley.  See?  Democracy, citizen!"

Commenter: "This decision is ludicrous on its face and will be overturned."  Ah, like the "justices" did when the Democrats set up thousands of unmonitored "drop boxes" that allowed operatives to dump in millions of fraudulent, unsigned, unwitnessed ballots?  *That* kind of overturned?

The Huffington Post sez "Americans just don't know enough about the likely candidates.  That's why we totally support the Democrat National Committee's decision not to have a single debate before the 2024 election.  See, no matter how soundly our brilliant president Biden would defeat Trump, the conservative-owned Media would spin it as a win for the Orange Dictator.  We have spoken."

The Colorado ruling was a test case; IF the US SC overturns, the Democrats will analyze the court's opinion and will then file suits in the other states with their arguments slightly adjusted to overcome the US SCt's objections to Colorado.
   Dems will then file lawsuits in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona and Georgia.  
   Second twist: they'll file those lawsuits so close to the election that if the Dem-controlled state courts rule for them, the USSC won't have time to overturn before the election.
   "Quit complaining!  We threw him off the ballots totally legally, citizen!"  Clever.

"If SCOTUS overturns this--as it rightly should--the entire liberal press, networks and websites will wail endlessly about the "terrible injustice" of giving Americans a choice in a presidential election."

"Look, every good American knows we need trusted companies, like Fakebook and Google and Instagram and TikTok to ensure voters only see trustworthy (i.e. approved) news.  We Dems call that "managed news."  Managing the ballot is just taking this principle to its logical conclusion.  If states weren't allowed to control who appears on the ballot, Hitler himself could run for office!"

"Wait...can a state's electors vote for someone who's not on the ballot?"
....Technically that was legal back when Democrats were trying to get the win for Hilliary.  The Democrat National Committee urged electors in states won by Trump to instead vote for Hilliary, and no one was prosecuted at all.  But now doing that is called "trying to change the results of a fair election," and anyone urging that is charged with a crime.  Many electors in Georgia were charged with "attempting to overthrow the government" for doing that.

In New Jersey 15 years ago the Democrat candidate for the U.S. senate either died or was imprisoned for a crime just a month before the election.  State law said parties weren't allowed to substitute a new candidate within 30 days of the election.  But the Democrat-dominated state supreme court ruled "Laws are merely suggestions for your competent judges.  This law surely didn't mean what it says (since it disadvantages our party) so we'll waive this law for our friends in the Democrat Party, allowing them to substitute anyone they want."  

The Democrats did that, and won the seat.  But they really support the law.  Really.  Well, much of the time, anyway.

The best grift evah!

From 1933 to 1945--just a dozen years--the Nazis managed to kill 17 million people.

But compared to the "elite" members of the World Economic Forum and the Club of Rome, the Nazis were amateurs.  These two "elite" groups want...um...(checks notes)...seven BILLION deplorables to simply vanish.

Of course they'd never suggest that these seven billion be literally killed.  Heaven forbid!  (Actually they'd scream "Satan forbid!")  So not literally literally murdered.  They just want 'em to...go away.

Of course you don't believe any of that for a moment, eh?  You're too smart, and that claim is just too, too absurd to be true, eh?

Try this, sparky: Read what these groups have written and then get back to me.

The Club of Rome was founded in 1968.  Its foundational book is "Limits to Growth," co-authored by Dennis Meadows.  In 2017 Meadows claimed the population of the planet "needs to be brought back to one billion people."

You're a smart, well-informed person, right?  So to reach the goal of the elite Dennis Meadows and his fellow Club members, how many people would have to...vanish?

Take your time.  I'll wait.

The current global population is 8 billion.  

The idea that millions of people are draining the resources of the planet is an old one, first described by Thomas Malthus in 1798.  Malthus concluded that populations grew exponentially, while food production--at best--only grew linearly.

If you're familiar with those two math terms you know what that means.  But in 1798 Malthus was basing his ideas on observations of a relatively small island.  He had no idea about the actual size of the world, or the millions of acres of "arable" land.

Faced with what seemed to be a mathematical certainty of mass starvation, Malthus advocated for limiting reproduction of “undesirables.”   He argued that governments shouldn't give food to the poor, because that support would simply enable them to have more children.  But modern governments have decided that that working citizens should give the poor not just food and housing, but also a guaranteed income.  (More on that later.)

In 1968 the Club of Rome declared the “sustainable” population of the Earth was no more than one billion people.  (Nice round number, eh?  Think that was arrived at by calculation, or do ya think some elite pulled that wag out of his ass?)  But to avoid being compared to the Nazis they quickly claimed they didn't plan to kill anyone, but instead would "control population” by limiting the number of births. 

That actually a great idea.  Problem is, it only flies with educated citizens of advanced nations, who understand the benefit of only having enough kids to keep the population stable (2.08 children per female).  

The members of the Club of Rome knew the idea of limiting the number of kids wouldn't be embraced by developing nations, so they called for a global government to impose this result.

All the "elites" jumped on the Club of Rome’s bandwagon.  David Rockefeller, former head of Chase Manhattan Bank, was a big fan of global government.  He funded the Club of Rome, and was mentor to a Canadian named Maurice Strong.

Remember that name.

Strong—a Club of Rome member and board member of the World Economic Forum--ran the U.N.’s environmental program for over thirty years.  He was friends with Klaus Schwab, head of the WEF.  Schwab credits both Strong and Kissinger as mentors.

In 1992 Strong introduced the U.N.’s Agenda 21, pushing to cut population.  In 2019 Schwab--head of the WEF--signed an agreement with the U.N. secretary general to cooperate in accelerating the goal of cutting population and implementing Agenda 2030’s goals.

Again, I don't disagree with the idea of zero population growth.  Problem is, I don't think the *very smaht* globalist elites have thought this through--because uneducated people won't see the benefit.  So what populations will be reduced?

You already know: so-called "deplorables" in first-world nations.  We've been thoroughly indoctrinated with the idea that unlimited population growth is problematic, so will gladly support that goal.

The birth rate for Whites in the U.S. is already far below the replacement rate, meaning the percentage of whites is dropping.  So the elites are importing workers.  They haven't thought that one through either.  Ah well...

Read the U.N's "Agenda 2030."  Recognize what banning fossil fuels and fertilizers will mean in practical terms.

Of course as the price of plain ground beef in the U.S. goes to ten bucks a pound, the "elites" will still demand that the U.S. government continue to give poor nations millions of tons of food every year.  Cuz dey needs it.  Hmmm....

Why are millionaires like Bill Gates and Ted Turner buying up productive U.S. farmland and taking it out of production?

Why are the pushers of fake Global Warming forcing the most productive farmers and ranchers in Europe (the Netherlands) to stop using fertilizer?  The elites claim this is absolutely crucial to save duh Erf.

Short answer: the "elites" are perfectly happy to destroy Western nations, allegedly to “save the Erf,” while demanding that the U.S. continue to support poorer nations.  Meanwhile China continues to open two new coal-fired powerplants every week.  Hmmm....

No one elected the WEF and Club of Rome rulers of the planet.  Instead the founders and members of those clubs found a very profitable grift, and set themselves up for life.  And now our taxes are used by governments to pay to fly these grifters around the world in private jets to attend lavish conferences on...wait for it...the dangers of carbon dioxide!

You can't make this stuff up!

Colorado Supreme Court--7 Democrat judges--votes 4-3 to save American democracy

For the tone-deaf, this was from the Babylon Bee.

Company touts "FREE energy," by letting magic highways recharge electric cars wirelessly!

A few days ago I posted about a company touting "Free energy" for battery-powered cars and trucks.

Being familiar with the laws of thermodynamics, I was...um...skeptical, so looked into the company--and saw what seemed to be what could charitably be called a "stock play."

The company's pitch is a way to recharge cars wirelessly, as they drive.  Cool, eh?  Who could possibly object to a faaabulous deal like that, right?  And as with all marketers they gave it a cutesy name: "ASPIRE"-- "Advancing Sustainability through Powered Infrastructure for Roadway Electrification."  

Works by using a really really high-tech principle discovered in...wait, this can't be right: 1831 ??  Yep, called "Faraday's law of induction" and it's how all electricity is produced today, by moving a coil of wire through a magnetic field (or vice-versa).

The grifters propose to have taxpayers (cunningly mis-labeled as "governments") pay to install tens of millions of electromagnets--coils of wire connected to the power grid--under major highways.  Then if you have a car whose manufacturer has licensed the company's payment system, your car can recharge as you drive--for a monthly fee, of course.

"Wait, so the claim of "FREE energy" is bullshit?  Say it ain't so!  I want my free shit!"

But even if you hafta pay, it's okay cuz it'll extend driving range.  Think lotsa car companies will license the grifters' tech?  Of course they will.  And wokie biden regime lackeys and local pols will eagerly, slobberingly ORDER that all highways be fitted with the wokie magic technology, at a cost of literally trillions of dollars.

And guess who will pay.  That's right: You, via your taxes.

This scheme works on the classic maxim of grifters for decades: "Privatize your profits, socialize your losses."  Except here there are no losses for the company, since they've spent almost nothing.  So the maxim is actually "socialize the costs."

What that means is, they'll use ignorant virtue-signaling politicians to get state- and federal government to fund all the demonstrations, and then pay to turn a few thousand miles of highways into these magic carpets.  Then the company will get royalties from the licenses forever--at virtually no cost to them.

The company--"Electreon"--had already gotten a hundred or so corporations to sign up, but that shouldn't impress you a bit since the wokiez who run companies are like sheep: if there's a chance to signal virtue to consumers, they'll do it.  

Oh, y'say you don't believe that?  Recall that wokie corporate types at Budweiser hired a totally absurd tranny (redundancy alert) to advertise their flagship blue-collar beer, costing the company a few billion dollars.  Reeeeally smaht, right?

Yeah, dem corporate-executive folks iz reeeally smaht.

So getting wokie corporate virtue-signalers to sign on to a scam--to look woke--is easy.  But the folks at Electreon went one better, by cleverly getting dozens of universities to join the rush to "saving duh Erf."

They've already convinced university professors and gubmint lackeys to fund test tracks at various universities--at taxpayer expense, of course.  Hell, the idea is SO faaaabulous that the "engineering research center" in Utah that's testing it has been funded by the National Science Foundation itself!  How much more proof do you need that this is the "wave of the future," citizen?

"Socialize your costs, privatize your profits."

It's utterly brilliant, since this particular scheme totally bypasses the free market.  All they need to do is get two guys in the biden regime to green-light it, and it's a done deal.

Let me explain:  It doesn't have to save energy, or reduce the dread CO2, or save money.  None of that silly stuff.  All that the grifters need is to a) convince two guys in the administration that this is great; and b) convince Democrats that they should spend a trillion bucks of your money testing it.  After all,  no price is to great to "save duh Erf," eh? 

Once the Dept of Energy signs off on it, cunning pols (who don't know jack about physics) will vote for any expenditure, since that vote will get them re-elected.  Cuz voters are convinced that electric cars will "save duh Erf."

Because Electreon has set this up so perfectly--getting hundreds of PhDs on board, knowing the push by the wokiez will give the pols the cover they need, and knowing all the car-makers will license the "FREE ENERY" claim--it's probably too late to stop this grift.  It's too, too perfect for our woke but gullible population.

"Hey citizen!  FREE ENERGY!  You kin drive for FREE!  Did we mention FREE??  Whut?  Okay, maybe we charge you a tiny bit, but way cheaper than gasoline!  And don't worry about the cost of putting our new, magic technology under a few thousand miles of highways!  Dat gonna be paid by Somebody Else!  Cost yew nuffin, citizen!"

You couldn't devise a more perfect grift.

Let me emphasize that while the technology is well-known, the lie is that by supporting it, yew kin drive for FREE.  As everyone should know by now, very few things are really free.

Director of a big hospital in Gaza admits being Hamas general, and his facility was a Hamas HQ

One of the myriad things about Hamas and Paleswinians in general that should be utterly condemned by all right-thinking people is their use of women, children and hospitals as shields.

Leftist Hahvahd student: "NOOooo, dis not true!  Dey not do dat!  Cuz dat wud be cowardly.  Hamas not cowards, dey heroic liberators!  Yep yep yep!"

Really, sparky?

The IDF captured the director of a major hospital in Gaza, who's admitted to being a senior Hamas commander and described how Hamas transformed the medical site into a Hamas stronghold.

Ahmad Kahlot, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in Jabaliya, confessed (on video).

Leftist student: "Dat confession mean nuthin,' cuz it was coerced by torture!  Yep yep yep!"

In the video of his interrogation (posted on X), Kahlot said he held a rank equivalent to a general.  He revealed that 16 hospital staffers, including doctors, were also members of Hamas’ military.

He said up to 100 Hamas troops had been camped in the hospital for several days before moving to a different location.

Asked why Hamas’ leaders chose the hospital as a headquarters Kahlot said, “Because the hospital is a safe place. They won’t be harmed inside the hospital.”

Leftist U.S. student: "Dis all fake news!  Hamas would nevah do dat!  Dey heroes!"

Sure, sparky.

The director was bitter about the top Hamas leaders, saying they'd seized tens of millions in aid money, and fled, leaving the responsible commanders behind to be captured.  "They saved themselves and left us to be captured," he said.

True colors, sparky.  Compare that to true leaders, like the brilliant confederate general Robert E. Lee.  Oh wait, I forgot: under the biden regime saying anything good about one of the greatest generals in U.S. history is now a hate crime!  

The wokie rat-bastards have melted down his statue.  The bronze was slated to become wokie trinkets in some shit museum of wokeness.

They're within a month of removing and melting down a memorial to confederate troops at Arlington National Cemetery.  No word on where that bronze will end up.  My guess is it'll be sold and the cash will end up in the pocket some official--with ten percent sent to your corrupt preznit.
