Oh, f*** this.

 In the words of today's youth, "I JUST CAN'T EVEN."

There is no longer any justice or rule of law in a good portion of this country.  Prepare accordingly.

We all saw this coming...

I have no trouble believing this.

Our Favorite Spitfire, aka Ann Barnhardt, passes on a letter detailing the consequences of The Totally Safe And Absolutely Necessary For The Survival Of The Human Race Poison Vaccine:

I don’t want to speculate or put out wild conspiracy theories, but yesterday I received an email from my employer that went out to all patient care providers in our health system. The email detailed an entire set of guidelines and protocols that have been developed to rapidly identify, triage, and treat people who may be suffering an allergic reaction to either of the COVID vaccines. If reactions are as rare as we are being told, then why is this necessary? If the allergic reactions are typical of other medication allergic reactions, why does a different set of standards exist? All things to make you wonder.

Yeah.  Totally safe.  Big Pharma, Big Media and Big Government all agree.  What could possibly go wrong?

The Nature(s) of Evil

 The Devil, since he can create nothing himself, always tries to copy God.  The triad of evil apes the Holy Trinity, inversely.

The reason is that the 'need' for societal destruction cannot be explained in materialistic terms - which are the only terms possible in public discourse; and among those who deny the reality of God and creation. 

The true reason for societal destruction is that human society is Good and therefore needs to be destroyed. Society between Men is indeed one of the great and essential Goods of this mortal world; as Men at all times, everywhere, have acknowledged and acted-upon - quite naturally and spontaneously. 

The idea that this can and should be dispensed with is monstrous, outrageous and ridiculous... for anyone who is Not deep into the servitude of Satan. But then, that is precisely what we are dealing-with.

Dr. Zero Explains It All

From John Hayward's TWTR feed:

Privileged elites always want to assert their status by indulging in pleasures denied to the lower classes. This often leads them into immoral, deranged, and even criminal behavior. They're desperate to flaunt their power by doing what lesser folk are forbidden to do.

This is one of the reasons for the wave of sexual harassment, sexual assault, and pedophilia among the richest and most powerful. They indulge increasingly depraved appetites to savor the sweet, sweet high of doing what ordinary people cannot, feasting on the food of the gods.

It's also one of the reasons high-living elites are drawn to puritanical secular pseudo-religions, like the Church of Global Warming and now the Church of Covid. They have a deep appetite for making aspects of modern life forbidden to the Little People, but not to themselves.

You'll notice that high acolytes of the Church of Global Warming have absolutely no intention of compromising THEIR extravagant lifestyles. They jet set, they have yachts and huge cars, they buy beachfront mansions on property they claim to believe will be underwater soon.

But they have a deep desire to make planes, cars, and accoutrements of the First World lifestyle forbidden to the proletariat. They love how their ideology elevates them into a superior overclass, reaffirming their importance by asserting they "need" or "deserve" so much more.

These elite appetites are useful to the Left because they fold neatly into its endless war against the hated middle class. The perversions of the elite inspire them to attack the morality that would otherwise help lower and middle class people improve their station in life.

Meanwhile, the fanatical puritan and luddite ideologies of the elite inspire them to restrict the resources and technologies that improve middle-class life and help people become more productive, which helps them earn more money and amass more capital.

Thus we have a culture that teaches young people to reject time-tested moral codes that would help them build better lives, instead making clumsy efforts to imitate the debauchery of the elites in ways that lead them to misery and ruin.

And our young people are taught to hate their own ambitions, to hate themselves for desiring lives that have big carbon footprints, to hate and distrust everything that could bring them prosperity and narrow the gap between their lifestyles and those of the elite.

Take a broad look at pop culture, political culture, and increasingly corporate culture as we head into 2021. Almost every bit of it has been crafted to make middle class people abandon their ambitions and program their children to fail... making Mount Olympus ever higher.

And then the political elite will demand even more control over our lives, to "fix" the ever-widening "inequality" gap their own policies and cultural programming made worse!

It's no wonder that some who dwell on the highest slopes of Mount Olympus are tempted to go even further, to indulge in dark appetites that would land lesser men in jail - a temptation that seems especially acute for male members of the extreme upper class.

They reach for the fruit that no other hand could pick, to remind one another that they are gods, even while loudly posturing as champions of socialism, feminism, and the Little Guy. The difference between what they DO and what they SAY is part of the rush.

Yep.  When you come down to it, what really motivates our elites is PRIDE.  The worst sin of all, and the Devil's favorite trap--because it's the one that caught him.

Looks like she struck a nerve.

Short Little Rebel posts a rebuttal to a leftist op-ed.  Within 24 hours, her blog is torpedoed by Wordpress.

Copy, paste and spread this far and wide, if for no other reason than to give the bird to those who would censor us.

I attempted to respond to #MatthewDowd’s op-ed piece in ABC News , online, but for some reason, they kept deleting all my comments.  I have no doubt that this was because I was stating facts that proved his piece ridiculous in every way.  I posted comments complaining about the deletion and they deleted those as well.  Thus, it was clearly not a matter of length or spam or even ‘too many links’, etc.  They simply didn’t like the content.  Thus, I have no recourse but to write my own article and link to theirs.  #MatthewDowd states, in his op-ed,
‘Is he [Trump] responsible for fomenting coarseness, tribalism and hatred in our political discourse that seems to have emboldened the most radical of these white supremacists? Absolutely.”
#MatthewDowd, you base this incredible conclusion on a slippery slope argument, minus any actual ‘facts’ other than what you simply state as true in this ridiculous op ed. You claim that ‘white supremacists’ cheer Trump on with all his policies- proof? Who, when and where? Names and dates? Organizations? Just because individuals go to a Trump rally and also happen to espouse white supremacist values doesn’t mean that Trump created those values in that individual.  They had those values before they came to his rally.  Also, it doesn’t necessarily follow that just because they like Trump, that Trump agrees or is sympathetic toward their ideas.  Nor does it follow that because they like Trump’s ideas that their ideas are aligned in any way.  Their ideas can simply intersect in a small way that is acceptable to the insane person.  By no means does that small intersection then mean that Trump is espousing white supremacist values or supporting white supremacy in any way.  White supremacy is a mental and spiritual illness.  It’s not rational.  But it must find a home in a political platform- just as socialist dictatorship must find a home.  Socialist dictatorships will find their homes in the Liberal Democratic party.  Does that automatically follow that every Democrat with insane Mussolini types in the crowd are now automatically Mussolini?  No.  But you knew that before you wrote this piece.  Or, if you didn’t, then you shouldn’t be writing for ABC.
Furthermore, you state that Trump should apologize.  This implies that Trump is now responsible for the recent spate of shootings- ie, the recent shooting at the Jewish synagogue.   You are a hypocrite, because within this same soppy op ed, you predictably stand up for Islam.  You claim that,
‘In fact, the greatest number of acts of terror over that time has not been by radical Islam, or immigrants or refugees, or antifa, but by white supremacists.’
There are several things wrong with this remarkable claim but let’s address them one by one.  First, the common liberal notion behind your protection of Islam is that while some ‘fringe elements of peaceful Islam have ‘hijacked’ Islam and thrown acid on women’s faces, cut off women’s private parts, blown up the trade towers, murdered thousands of Americans, shot up gay night clubs, shot up our military bases, shot up their office workers, beheaded people in N.J., and performed honor killings here- all in the name of Allah.. they don’t represent the ‘true religion’ of Islam and thus, you can’t blame Islam, correct? And yet, you turn right around in this lazy, illogical piece and say,
“The best leaders at times like this give people a sense of hope and a vision of the promised land. They are unifying and don’t look for enemies or particular demographic groups to blame. They appeal to inherent values we all feel and want in this world by hopeful language and policy guided by reality and not false promises.”
You dare to tell Trump not to blame the news or Obama or the Democrats or even the individual who shot up the synagogue for the crimes that are committed.  You don’t blame Islam for the individuals who murder in its name.   Yet, YOU blame the entire hate group, white supremacists, for ONE man’s actions.  Even though neither the Aryan nation, nor any other white supremacist group has claimed responsibility for any of the shootings done by any of the killers who killed anyone under Trump’s’ presidency!!!  Even though ISLAM and the religious groups that serve it PROUDLY claim responsibility for ALL the killings done by its followers who scream, ‘Allahu Akbar!’ as they tear our buildings down and shoot up our unarmed soldiers at Ft. Hood.    Islam, which preaches death, destruction, murder, honor killings of women, etc FROM THE PULPIT gets a free pass from you? YOU also personally blame Trump for something that he didn’t do. HE didn’t pull the trigger on that gun or form the KKK, which existed generations before he was ever born.
WHO is the hypocrite here? For someone telling the president not to play the blame game, you sure play it expertly.
Let’s now evaluate your so-called ‘facts’ where you state that, “he greatest number of acts of terror over that time has not been by radical Islam, or immigrants or refugees, or antifa, but by white supremacists” over the last two years.  I just checked on the number of RACE RIOTS between Jan 1, 2009 to present in the United States and do you know how many occured under Obama in the name of RACE that were instigated by DEMOCRATS? ELEVEN (not counting the predictable MAYDAY riot).   Within these race riots were murders, knifings and beatings, along with property damages amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars- all in the name of political change.  This could easily fit into the definition of ‘terror’.
Know how many race riots have occured under Trump? TWO (not counting the predictable MAYDAY riot).
Know how many race riots there were in the eight years BEFORE Obama? TWO.
Know how many race riots (addressing Black American concerns) there were in the eight years before that? TWO
Conclusion: Obama started the modern rash of Black riots in America.  I lived those years and remember feeling that exact thing- it was under Obama that race relations soured horribly in America- before that, we had peace and tranquility between races- it was HIM and his rhetoric that made things horrible.  And now, Obama and his illegal ‘presidential war chest’ he collected during his second term is funding the media and social media war to continue the race baiting to further deteriorate race relations in this nation.  It’s not Trump who began this problem, the STATS and FACTS demonstrate that it was OBAMA.
Know how many riots were STARTED by liberal democrats IN THE NAME of political change, resulting in hundreds of millions of dollars in damages to private property, stabbings, shootings, death and injuries from Obama’s inauguration to today? (that meets the definition of terrorism, by the way)? THIRTY.
Know how many were STARTED by ANY conservative group, let alone skinheads or white supremacists? ONE. And that was the 2016 Occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, which wasn’t actually a riot. No one was killed except one person, shot in the back by federal agents, occupying the refuge. No loss of private or public property was incurred.
Thus, every riot since Obama, except two, from Jan 1, 2009 to today was STARTED by progressive democrat liberals. The only one (not including Malheur) not started explicitly by a liberal organization is the 2010 Springfest riot at James Madison University which was a wild party gone wrong.
In my mind, this includes the 2017 Unite the Right white supremacist rallies that would have gone unnoticed had the progressive liberals not decided to counterprotest OUTSIDE their permit boundaries and into the white supremacist permit boundaries.  As usual, the liberals used pushing, shoving, yelling and violence directly in the physical faces of the rightful permit holders for that area. The predictable result: violence. The permit holders for the allegedly peaceful counterprotest was supposed to be blocks away from the white supremacists. Past and recent experience with white supremacist rallies has proven that they are poorly attended and laughable.  This points to the real reason that liberals decided to rally- at two locations- in 2017- they knew that part of the white supremacist rally would be attended by legitimate protestors who sincerely didn’t want the removal of the Confederate monuments.  They were hoping for chaos and confusion to obfuscate the entire legitimate protest.  They largely succeeded.  They haven’t bothered counter protesting any white supremacist rallies since- just as they didn’t bother counter protesting before 2017.  The recent white supremacist rallies were once again laughably unattended.
Absolutely ZERO riots have been initiated, endorsed or claimed by a single Christian organization.
Don’t believe me for any of these REAL FACTS? Here’s the well known progressive liberal leaning wikipedia link:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_incidents_of_civil_unrest_in_the_United_States#2010%E2%80%932018
#Blacklivesmatter was created in 2013, UNDER OBAMA. This is one the most extreme race baiting organizations in American Relationships. #Blacklivesmatter and the protests under its name have results in hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars of damages to private property.  Rallies and riots in its name have resulted in knifings, beatings, and killings.  What would happen if we created a #WhiteLivesMatter group that made racists statements equal to that group? We’d have riots on our streets for sure. And private businesses would pay the same price they paid under Obama’s leadership.
Before we move forward to examine statistics over the next two years concerning ‘terrorist’ attacks in the United States, let us define ‘terrorist attack’:
“Under current United States law, set forth in the USA PATRIOT Act, acts of domestic terrorism are those which: “(A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State; (B) appear to be intended – (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and (C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States.”^{[2] [3] [4]}
Thus, no mere criminal act of an individual can be considered a ‘terrorist attack’.  There must be a political motivation behind the attack that wishes to coerce our People or nation to DO something as a result of their action.  Let’s be very clear about that.  #MatthewDowd has not been clear about that and that is why his alleged ‘data’ is invalid.  If his alleged ‘data’ is invalid, his argument falls down like a flimsy deck of cards.
Let’s now evaluate the number of Islamic terror attacks versus the number of white supremacist terror attacks over the last two years.  First, you didn’t address the locale of your statements. If the local is the world, then your statement is a pure joke no matter how you cut the cake. The sheer number of people murdered worldwide by Islamic terrorism can be found here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Islamist_terrorist_attacks.
If you are too frightened to look at this link, suffice it to say that there are almost too many to count.
The number of domestic Right Wing White Supremacist Terror attacks in the last two years under Trump’s administration is ZERO. No white supremacist group has claimed any responsibility for any violent action in the name of advocating for political change in America. No murders of innocent children, women, old people or any other vulnerable population was murdered to achieve a political end.  Here is that link:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_terrorism_in_the_United_States
Furthermore, how fair is it to say that just because our FBI, police and CIA are doing such an incredible job PREVENTING Islamic terror on our home soil that Islamic terror is less dangerous than white supremacist ‘terror’?    Know how many Islamic terror attacks that the FBI, alone, has prevented over the last two years- that we know about?  EIGHTY!
They can be found at the following FBI locations:

The following two incidents are the only two examples of ANY white supremacy crime in the last two years in America that I could find on the FBI database.  HOWEVER, neither meets the definition of ‘terrorism’.

The following FOUR incidents, however, DO meet the ‘terror’ definition, but were carried out by LIBERAL PROGRESSIVES in America over the last two years:

This doesn’t count any of the Islamic threats prevented by the CIA or any local, state or federal police agencies.
While we’re at it, can we talk about the Domestic and world terrorism caused by liberal, progressive eco-terrorists and animal rights terrorists?  Here’s just a list of American based groups:
Sea Shepherd– responsible for firebombing, ramming and sinking vessels at sea, causing billions in damages, injuries to people and death.
Animal Liberation Front
Earth liberation Front
Green Peace
Earth First
Coalition to Save the Preserves
Hardesty Avengers
Wikipedia states, “In 2008 the Federal Bureau of Investigation said eco-terrorists represented “one of the most serious domestic terrorism threats in the U.S. today” citing the sheer volume of their crimes (over 2,000 since 1979); the huge economic impact (losses of more than US$110 million since 1979); the wide range of victims (from international corporations to lumber companies to animal testing facilities to genetic research firms); and their increasingly violent rhetoric and tactics (one recent communiqué sent to a California product testing company said: “You might be able to protect your buildings, but can you protect the homes of every employee?”)
These LIBERAL DEMOCRAT VOTING ECOTERRORISTS exact more private destruction, loss of life, and mayhem than any skinhead group in America, exponentially.  Individuals who happen to espouse hateful ideologies have committed crimes, on their own, but they represent themselves.  That is not ‘terror’.  These eco-groups are terrorist organizations.  And they are liberals.
——————————————-

Those are the REAL FACTS, not some wishy washy fantasy of a liberal op ed writer.
#MatthewDowd attempts to mix mere crime into his alleged stats when he makes his arguments about ‘white supremacy versus Islam, antifa, etc’ types of terror.  However, the moment we begin including CRIME incidents as ‘terror’ incidents, any kind of statistics can be gathered to make bogus comparisons for manipulative op ed pieces like this one. ‘Terror’ has a particular political definition. While reprehensible as a hate group, no white supremacist group has committed an act of terror while Trump has been president. And that, my friends is a fact. There have been many individuals of all sorts that have murdered others in our nation, however. Some have beliefs that align with white supremacy- but then again, there are black Americans who beat up, stab, steal from, and destroy the lives of white people all the time in America merely because they are white. Who remembers the game, ‘Sucker Punch’? How about all the Korean stores that have been attacked by black gang members in California that have been racially motivated? How about race oriented gangs that murder one another- simply because they are hispanic, black, Italian or skinhead? None of these are ‘terror’- but if one wishes to, one could begin manipulating numbers and definitions to suit just about anything they wanted to. ‘Terror’ is political. Honesty is critical if you want to have a real discussion. This op ed is garbage because it is dishonest.
How about Eric Holder’s statement, “Michelle [Obama] always says ‘When they go low, we go high,'” Holder told the crowd. “No. No. When they go low, we kick them.” Holder served closely with Obama during both tenures.
How about Maxine Waters’ call for mob action against Trump supporters, “Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up,” Waters told a crowd in California over the weekend. “If you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd, and you push back on them, and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.” This resulted in the immediate attacks on individuals wearing MAGA hats in restaurants and students in high schools. Obama supports Waters and vice versa.  If a white senator made the same call for mob action, it would have resulted in the entire media equating it to calls for ‘black lynchings’.
How about Obama’s 20 year relationship with “GodDamn America”-Caucasian-hating Reverend Wright, whom Obama credits for most of his current beliefs in his first book, ” of my Father.”  According to Scott Paulson of CBS,
‘He very powerfully wrote that during his first experience as part of a Reverend Wright church service, he wept. A child next to him, he wrote, had handed him a tissue to dry the tears streaming down his cheeks.
Obama did hear Reverend Wright, and he emotionally reacted to him.
More than simply react to Wright’s words, he embraced them. Obama remembered the name of the first sermon he ever heard Reverend Wright preach and even titled a book after the name of that first Wright sermon: The Audacity of Hope.”
This is the same Jeremiah Wright that officiated the Obama’s wedding and all their children’s baptisms. The same Jeremiah Wright whom Obama knew for over 25 years. The same Reverend Wright whose racist, anti-Semitic sermons Obama listened to for over 25 years and whom he appointed in 2007 to his prestigious African American Religious Leadership Committee. The same Jeremiah Wright whom he suddenly denounced, to Wright’s public scorn, when the public was outraged by his bigoted, anti-American views.
No mention of any of THIS in #MatthewDowd’s flimsy Op Ed, right? It’s just all Trump’s fault, right? Trump is responsible for all the bad race relationships in America, right?Memories are very short, but liberal media manipulative rhetoric are long.
Opinion pieces like this are hoping that YOU don’t bother to either recall our nation’s history, our constitution, or bother to any analysis or research into their statements. They also hope they can whip up enough of your emotions while you are tired after a hard day of work, trying to scrape by for your family, after reporting lots of shootings around the nation. They are manipulating you for a REASON. You need to THINK about WHY they want to take away the rights of the most eligible fighting age men and women in our nation’s ability to own firearms. (ie, 18- 21 year olds) You need to THINK about why they want to take away the #1 ability of our People to frighten our government enough from ever thinking about using that incredible military of ours on US. (through raising of militia BEFORE the desperate need arises). You need to think about why they want to take away our best chance at leadership should the People have to rise up against any attempt at some dictator who tries to suspend our constitution and use the military against the People. How can they do that, you ask? Simple- by saying that people with ‘mental illness’ can’t own a firearm. That discounts almost all ex military and police who have ever served in our nation- most of whom have some sort of depression or anxiety. THAT qualifies as ‘mental illness’, which is much too broad of a definition.
Ultimately, you need to know your HISTORY. Our founding fathers’ greatest concern when they gave the People the 2nd Amendment was not to protect their homes- it was to rise up against their government. They had experienced the tyranny of kings using the federal military against the People and using the law to forbid the People to own arms. They knew, first hand, what the result of such tyranny was. If Americans, in their comfort, give up this incredible privilege, they WILL face desperate dictatorship. It isn’t a question of ‘if’, but ‘when’. Men haven’t changed. We haven’t evolved. We are the same. The ONLY reason we are free as a People is our Constitution and the laws enshrined therein. The evil men in our nation have been constrained by the limits of it for generations- and it frustrates the hell out of them. That is WHY they have been trying, like hell, to create any environment, any situation, any conspiracy, anything construct possible to CONVINCE the People to simply vote away that noble document. And they have almost succeeded.
People often laugh when I pose the notion that this sudden rash of shootings might not be coincidental on the eve of midterms and the amazing number of states who will be voting on 2nd Amendment issues. High ranking military officers & politicians discuss acceptable death counts and collateral damages in war strategies. For some, it’s as easy as discussing the menu for lunch. These types of men don’t see the people who die. They only see the prize at the end. If hundreds of thousands are ‘acceptable damages’ (think about the decision making for Hiroshima which had a population of 350,000 at the time of the bombing), then why not 10 at that school, 12 at that synagog, 5 at that restaurant and 30 at that bar? This would be absolutely nothing. They would sleep like babies and enjoy their drinks and cigars when the deeds were done.
What would it really take, after all? An institution headed and staffed by evil minded psychologists and psychiatrists with an intent to manipulate and control weak and vulnerable minds. A place that could select individuals who could be threatened or coerced into doing whatever they wanted. A place to ‘treat’ troubled teens. Or a place to organize several locations throughout the nation. How much money would really be needed? And aren’t there enough wealthy people to make this happen? Consider the payoff. When I consider it and the possible pay off for evil minded people, I say, “Why not?” People will do pretty much anything if it is feasible for them to get something in their own lifetime. If they aren’t guided by any sort of fear of God, then this life is all they care about.
There are people who are ideologically opposed to our Constitution and the idea of individual freedoms, Friends. And they live right here in America. This has always been so. If you will read your history, they existed during the founding of our nation. Indeed, some of our founding fathers even opposed it. They came around, but reluctantly. Please don’t be naive. Don’t be a pawn. Don’t think either party are the ‘good guys’. Neither are. The only good guys are The People. THAT is what the Founding Fathers ultimately believed in. That is why the Preamble to the Constitution begins with “We, the People…” It’s Us vs. the Government and always has been. Always vote for Us. Never the Government. The day you learn that is the day you are a true American.

By all means, Mrs. Clinton--please continue!!

First and foremost, I want to make one thing perfectly clear:  If Hillary Clinton ever comes to what remains of her senses, repents of her sins, and accepts Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior, I will be the first to rejoice in that.  For the Lord is "not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."  (Yes, this includes even the most corrupt and evil among us, for in His sight, we have all greatly offended.  It's simply a matter of degree.)  I do not think that this is likely, but with God, all things are possible.

That would be the best thing that could happen.

The second best thing that could happen, would be for HRC to go right on doing what she's doing.  Keep doubling down, Hillary!  Turn it up to 11!  Have another Chardonnay and let those deplorable redneck scum have it with both barrels every time you open your mouth!

Man, when even hardline Democrats(who have gone beyond blue, through indigo, and are now somewhere in a spectrum of ultrablue which is invisible to anything except possibly mantis shrimp), including your own former campaign manager, wish like hell you'd shut up and go away...you really have to be Amy-Winehouse-Level committed to self-destruction.  As much as I admire singleminded persistence and determination, you might have wanted to pick a better goal.

But if this is the path you wish to take, Ma'am, us "Deplorables" couldn't be more pleased with the results.  Keep right on keepin' on with that.  Expose yourself as the shrill, bitter, angry, drunken, doddering, corrupt mess we always knew you to be, in a way that makes even some Democrats think "Well, I still hate Trump, but it really could have been worse."

And the next time some smug Leftist steps to us with an utterly unwarranted air of intellectual superiority, courtesy of the Dunning-Kruger effect, we'll simply observe that, if they'd gotten their way, you--who have become basically a walking dumpster fire that even the Left is having trouble making excuses for--would have been Leader of the Free World.  Therefore, their judgement is, to say the least, suspect.

Whether you sit down and shut up, or continue on your present course, we win either way.

Death by diversity

All you folks who consider me a xenophobic, Islamophobic racist who's ten miles to the right of Genghis Khan...you'll most likely be perplexed by this post.

The murder of Justine Damond was not a Black thing, an Islamic thing or an immigrant thing.  This was a 'social justice' thing.

Mohamed Noor is a shrimpy little guy, who, by most accounts, was very nervous and jumpy.  He did not have the build or the temperament suitable for being a police officer.  I'd be saying the same thing if he were a White Christian American.  But if he were a White Christian American, he never would have been a cop.  He'd have washed out of the academy.  They'd have been all, "Sorry, dude, police work just isn't in your future."

But the Leftists and SJW's of Minneapolis just had to have a Somali officer, no matter what.  Diversity at any price.  Well, now we know the exact price of their folly:  The life of an innocent citizen, taken by an idiot who started blasting away at an unarmed citizen at an (alleged) 'loud noise.'

This is less the fault of Mohamed Noor than of those who put that badge on him in the first place.  Minneapolitans, you put these fools into office, and you share the blame for this poor woman's death.  Hope you're proud of yourselves. 

The Left takes aim at Milo

Seems that the Evil Overlords have realized that "Dangerous Faggot iz dangerous."  Hence the orchestrated attack which we actually got a heads-up on right before all heck broke loose.

"FYI the MSM has a huge f*cking media onslaught that is set to go live Monday to scorch earth Milo and destroy him via the pedophile label.

"I'm part of a mailing list (not giving my real name or the name of the list for the sake of protecting my ass from retaliation) but they have been sitting on the story for a while, because they thought Milo was small fries and wanted to wait until he got big enough a thread to go nuclear on. "

Luckily, anyone who still believes the Mushroom Media does anything but lie, spin and attack anyone to the right of Karl Marx, is a drooling idiot.  Or a 'journalist.'  But I repeat myself.  Most of America, including, especially, anyone familiar with Milo, will see this for the smear job it is.  The folks at the Treehouse certainly do, even though...

"I don’t know much, almost nothing, about Mr. Yiannopoulos – but I do know enough to spot a political UniParty approach that is as historic and familiar as the Swamp itself.  Mr. Yiannopoulos has all the same enemies as President Trump; that cannot be coincidental."

Don't be fooled, y'all.  This is nothing more than an attempt to take down one of our staunchest allies.  Whatever you may think about Mr. Yiannopolis' sexuality, he's on our side and doing a hell of a job taking it to the enemy.  Direct your fire downrange and don't fall for the propagandists' lies.

As for whether I care about the disinvite by CPAC, I'll let the Big Sexy himself tackle that issue:

"Don’t get me wrong, AWD would enjoy hanging out with some of the bloggers and people I respect that I don’t see very often. We’ve had a lot of fun and accomplished some good things together over the years. But the reasons listed above are why AWD will not attend CPAC this year or any time in the future. I have never been very good at kissing asses and don’t like not being able to look at myself in the mirror. And I will never support anything or anyone who is in bed with the Muslim Brotherhood!"

Read All The Things.  "Powers and principalities" doesn't always refer to angels and demons.

A lot can happen in 18 months...

Some of you might remember this post from August 2015.  I was convinced that Hillary was going to be elected.  I figured we were doomed.  I thought that even if Trump were serious, he could do nothing against the entrenched globalist machine.

I have never been so happy to be completely, utterly wrong.

President Donald J. Trump came in with guns blazing.  He's shown us that he's deadly serious about Making America Great Again, and he'll do whatever it takes to accomplish that mission.  The Left is going absolutely guano* and showing everyone what they've always been--a bunch of spoiled children willing to destroy anything and everything that stands in the way of their agenda of ultimate power and control.  The Cocktail Party GOP establishment are soiling themselves in terror.  And normal Americans?  We're delirious with joy at finally having someone in the White House who's ON OUR SIDE--something that hasn't been seen since Ronald Reagan.

It isn't over.  Not by a long shot.  But we now have something I thought we'd lost forever.

We have a chance.



*I figure this is a more polite term than 'batshit.'

Of fisticuffs, honor and politics

I beg your forgiveness for using 'honor' in the same sentence as 'politics.'  Mea culpa and all that.

There are two types of fights outside of straight-up warfare.  One is a fight; a contest between honorable, civilized men, where a difference in opinion has become physical.  In this contest, there are commonly understood rules of engagement.  The other is a streetfight, where the only rule is that the winner is the one who lives to walk away.

Let's say Bob and Doug are fixin' to fight.  Bob said Doug was one of those, and Doug said Bob's mother was too, or however it started.  Both Bob and Doug, being civilized and honorable men, are entering the contest with the supposition that this is a fight, not a streetfight.  Fists start flying, and Doug ends up getting the worst of it.  Doug finally hollers out, "OK!  I give up!!"

Since this is a fight between civilized and honorable men, Bob immediately stops hitting Doug, probably helps him up, and if Doug fought a good fight and Bob's really righteous, Bob will buy Doug a beer.  Honorable, civilized men know that you don't keep beating on another honorable and civilized man who has surrendered.  This is a core concept of honor and civilization.

Now, let's posit that Doug says "I give up!" and then, when Bob turns away, Doug starts swinging again.  This changes the game.  Doug has proven himself to be a liar, untrustworthy--a dishonorable man.  Bob can no longer trust Doug's pleas of surrender, and therefore, this is no longer a fight.  It is now a streetfight, and Bob will continue the beating until he decides the fight is over, because that's how a streetfight works.  Doug decided to turn a fight into a streetfight, and Bob agreed to the terms Doug set.

If you're insufficiently conversant with the concept, go watch a bunch of John Wayne and Clint Eastwood movies until it sinks in.  This is how men used to interact.  It worked.

Now, let us observe the current dynamic of Left/Globalist, Right/Nationalist interaction.  Now that the God-Emperor Trump has won the White House, and the Left has been repudiated at every level of government across the nation outside of the elitist coastal enclaves, we're hearing a whole lot of bleating from the defeated.  Talk of 'bipartisanship,' 'cooperation,' 'reaching across the aisle,' 'compromise' and all sorts of hippy-dippy, patchouli-soaked, kumbayah platitudes.

Those of you with a memory span longer than that of a fruit fly might remember these same folks back in '09-'10, when the Left had a supermajority in Congress, and held the White House.  As soon as they held the reins of power, it was all "We won, you lost, F.U."  All that peace and love stuff went right out the window.  It's what they've always done, and what they'll do again if they're ever given the chance.  This is the political equivalent of Doug saying "I give up!" and then swinging a brick at our heads the moment we turn our backs.  Anyone who, at this point, doesn't understand that this is--and always was--a streetfight, simply needs to sit down and shut up.

No, Leftists, we're not falling for it again.  We expected you to act with honor, and you proved yourselves honorless.  Now, the beating will continue until WE decide it's over.  We will not 'compromise' or 'cooperate.'  We will crush you, see you driven before us, and hear the lamentations of your women.  We wanted a straight fight.  You made it into a streetfight.  It was your call...now you can just deal with the consequences.

Desert island punditry

Commentators, pundits and political junkies across the nation and around the world are dissin' on The Donald pretty much nonstop.  They can't understand why so many people support him.  In the case of folks like Matt Walsh, they're positively angry that the Trumpsters supposedly 'aren't taking the political process seriously.'

I love ya, Matt, but that's like saying we're not taking a Monty Python movie seriously.  "I would have liked to think that conservatives wouldn’t fall for the Obama Cult of Personality shtick, but they have."  Dude, for real?  Is that what you think this is about?  Not even close.

I might point out that Mr. Trump has actually built a successful business empire by creating products and services that people wanted to buy, not by force, graft and shadowy donations.  I might point out that Mr. Trump doesn't really care what the Mushroom Media thinks of him, and is actually capable of breaking wind without consulting 27 polls first.  I might point out that Mr. Trump is seen as something new and different in an era of worn-out sequels like 'Clinton On K Street II' and 'Night Of The Living Bush III.'  I'm certain that these things are important to some of the Trumpsters, but I feel safe in saying that many of them don't really care about any of this.

We've simply recognized reality:  The American political process is corrupt to the core.  It's nothing but a dog-and-pony show, and we're NOT voting our way out of this.  PERIOD(no debate pun intended).   Let me illustrate in pictures, for those of you who don't quite get it:

And we've basically given up on folks like yourselves who still cling to this farce.  You remind us of the Japanese soldiers they kept finding on desert islands all the way up into the 21st Century, still fighting World War II, absolutely certain that the Land of the Rising Sun would never surrender to a bunch of round-eyed barbarians.  Even if Mr. Trump--or whoever wins--turns out to be the Second Coming of Ronald Reagan, it's too late.  It is now both culturally and mathematically impossible to reverse this kamikaze dive we're in.  Short of a miracle straight from the Lord our God, it can't be done. And considering our actions over the past couple of generations, He damn sure doesn't owe us any favors.

The war for liberty in America is over.  We lost.  All we can do now is accelerate the collapse and prepare to come out fighting on the other side.  And in the meantime, if we can enjoy the spectacle of Statist Party D, Statist Party R and the Mushroom Media all losing their tiny little minds over being told that at least one person simply doesn't give a fart in a windstorm what they think, that's pretty awesome.  If we'd had more of that attitude over the past few decades, America might have survived.

In the meantime, let it burn and pass the marshmallows.

I thought this was illegal?

Oh yeah--there is no law any more, at least when Leftist murder-for-profit is involved.

I used to be heavily pro-choice.  I've been rethinking my views for the last few years, and this just made me 100% Pro-Freakin'-Life.  And if you really don't see the problem with harvesting the organs of purposely murdered babies, you are seriously disturbed.

The fact that the organs are readily identifiable, marks these as partial-birth abortions, not just 'disposing of a clump of tissue.'   And don't start throwing exceptions at me--the vast majority of abortions are NOT to save the mother's life, nor the result of rape.  They're for convenience.  They're done so that women can let themselves be used carelessly without being 'punished' with the creation of a new human life.

The social conservatives warned us that legalizing abortion would lead to things like this.  They were right, and I was wrong. 

I got nothing else coherent--I'm just trying not to completely lose my shit over the fact that so many people really don't seem to see anything wrong with this.  God help us.

I'll just leave this right here...

(To be fair, Che killed anyone who got in his way, whatever their age, gender or color.)

It's been done on purpose.

Call me a tinfoil-hat weirdo(you will--you always do), but I've come to think there's something sinister behind the pussifcation of America in recent decades:

Do you really think that children who are terrified by someone pointing his finger and saying “bang” are going to lead the revolution against tyranny? No, they will cower in their tiny apartments, hoping that if they behave well enough, they’ll continue to be fed.

Do you think our ancestors who fought in the revolutionary war were afraid to climb a tree or get dirty?

Those of us who grew up this way (and who raise our children to be fearless) are the resistance against a coddled, helmeted, non-offending society that aims for a dependant populace. In a country that was built on rugged self-reliance, we are now the minority.

RTWT, and follow the links.  When did camping become child endangerment?  How did cutting one's food become a felony?  What's the impetus behind this disturbing trend...

...and who, ultimately, benefits?

A blast from the past

Both her Blogger and Wordpress blogs seeming to be defunct, I shall repost this awesome story in full.  Just in case, ya know.

Submitted for your inspection, the story...of Jim.

This is the story of Jim. Jim was an average young man in an average American town. He earned above-average grades in high school, and went on to attend an average American college. Jim's parents, while not destitute, were in no position to help him with finances, so Jim worked full-time at an average college job to support himself, riding his bike to school, then to work, and then back to his far-below-average studio apartment to study, eat average college food, and fall asleep. The next day began the whole process again.

One day, while Jim was enjoying a rare free moment, his uncle paid him a surprise visit. Jim's uncle was a wealthy man, though no one quite knew what he did to amass his fortune. He entered the tiny rented room with a warm greeting, and sat on the edge of the bed. After exchanging pleasantries and small talk, Jim's uncle asked if there was anything he could do to make Jim's life easier. Jim didn't want to impose, so he politely declined. Jim's uncle pressed his point, saying, "Jim, I've known you for longer than you remember, and it pains me to see you having to struggle this way. Here," and he pulled a small black card out of his jacket pocket. Jim tried to refuse, but his uncle insisted. "Use this as you see fit," he said to the young man. They talked awhile longer about various family members and Jim's classes, and then, after affectionate goodbyes, Jim's uncle left.

Jim followed his uncle to the door, and shut it after him. He then turned over the small black card in his hand. It was a credit card. . . sort of. There was a sixteen-digit number on it and a magnetic strip , but no expiration date, no name, no logo, not even a signature bar. Just a wholly unremarkable, glossy black card. Jim wondered how it could even work, and then decided that he would not find out. He was determined to go it on his own, just like his parents had taught him. "Earn what you get, or there's no joy in having it," his father liked to say. Jim went to throw the card away, but hesitated. It couldn't hurt, after all, to have options, could it? That's really all he was doing, was being careful, he told himself as he put the card in his desk.

For months, Jim rarely even thought of the card. Then, one day he noticed a letter from the college in his stack of mail. Times had grown tough not just for Jim, but for everybody, and money was tight all around. Though Jim had carried his above average grades with him to college, they were no longer enough to maintain his scholarship. Jim sat crumpled in his chair, head in hands. He would have to delay his schooling and spend the next semester saving for the following term. The thought was not at all appealing -- hadn't he suffered enough? He worked his heart out and sacrificed so much; how could this happen? Suddenly, that little black card loomed large in Jim's mind. Surely it wouldn't hurt to use it for his living expenses. Not luxury items -- just the stuff he was already using. Then he would work even harder, improve his grades so he could get his scholarship back, and then put the card away. Other students lived on credit -- was it really so wrong?

Jim put his plan into action, knowing full well that he might regret it when the bill came. He determined he would cross that bridge when he came to it. He was a little nervous the first time he swiped the little black card, but it worked just fine. All he needed to do was sign. He stayed true to his word, using his credit judiciously. A month passed. Then two. Jim checked every day, but no bill came to him. Worried, he called his uncle. "Don't worry about it, my boy, it's all taken care of," Jim's uncle reassured him. "But..." Jim started to protest, but his uncle cut him off: "It's all taken care of. I meant what I said -- use it as you see fit. I'll tell you what: I'll arrange with your employer to automatically deduct payments from your paycheck, alright?" This eased Jim's mind, and he let the matter go.

In the ensuing months, Jim came to rely on the card more and more. He asked his boss to move him to part-time hours: With all his needs paid for, he could start focusing on his wants, and one of those was more leisure time. The money he earned could also go to wants, rather than needs. Jim felt as if the weight of the world had been removed from his shoulders. His wants, however, soon outstripped his income, and he found himself pulling out that little black card more and more often. The card seemed to have no limit; though his purchases grew progressively larger, the card was never declined.

Jim was coming out of the store after one of his larger purchases when he saw a man standing at a nearby intersection holding a cardboard sign. Jim walked over to talk to the man, and found that the man, Andrew, had fallen on hard times. He had lost his job, could not find another one, and had a family to feed, so he stood on the corner begging strangers for money. Andrew's story troubled Jim; he'd experienced hard times himself, and could not imagine having to face unemployment with a family to feed. Jim quickly told Andrew about his little black card, and offered to use it for Andrew's family's expenses as well. Andrew, overcome with emotion, threw his arms around Jim and sobbed thanks into his shoulder.

Word of the miraculous card spread quickly, and soon Jim was inundated with requests for help. Some seemed more legitimate than others, but who was he to judge? Jim accepted them all, and it seemed that in no time half of the town was dependent on the card Jim's uncle had given to him. Jim was thrilled that he could help so many people. Gone were his days of counting change for food; now, because of him, those days were gone for so many others, too. "This," Jim thought to himself one night, "is freedom."

Jim's philanthropic ventures weren't the only thing on his mind. There was a young lady he'd met in class. Sharla. She was beautiful, intelligent, kind -- everything Jim was looking for. And, though he could hardly believe it, she reciprocated his feelings. It wasn't long until he had a ring on her finger. Money no longer being an object, he made sure that their wedding was everything she had ever wanted. He thought nothing could have made him happier, but he had to admit he was wrong on that point on the day that Sharla gave birth to their first child, a darling baby boy who they called Sam.

Sam was just a few days old, sleeping in his mother's arms in their comfortable home, when there came a knock at the door. Jim ran to answer it and found a delivery man standing there with a package. Jim signed for the package, thanked the man, and went back in the house. He turned the box over to see not his name, or Sharla's, but Sam's. Thinking it was a gift for the new baby, he opened it. He was puzzled to find not gifts, but a stack of official-looking pages. He grabbed the first one and began to read.

Jim could feel the blood draining from his face. His hands began to shake. This had to be wrong, this could not be possible. He raced for the phone, punched in his uncle's number, and demanded that the old man get there NOW. Jim paced the floor while he waited, unable to continue perusing the pages in the box. Not possible. Not possible.

Jim's uncle knocked on the door in short order. Jim nearly wrenched the door off its hinges, grabbed his uncle by the arm, dragged him to the box, and thrust the first paper into his face. "How?" bellowed Jim. "How is this possible?!"

Jim's uncle stepped back, stroked his white goatee thoughtfully, and calmly said, "Jim, I told you it was taken care of. You never asked how."

Jim's eyes grew wide. "How could you do this to me? To him? My son, he's just a baby! How on earth can he pay this off?" Another thought gripped Jim, turning him paler still. "Half the town is living on this card! They depend upon it! I can't just cut them off! But if I don't..." His sentence trailed off as he stared in anguish at his son, who had somehow slept through Jim's outburst.

Jim's uncle nodded gravely. "I'll tell you what, Jim. I can help you with this problem as well." He reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out another card, just like Jim's, but with a different number on it. "Give him this when he's of age."

Jim was flabbergasted. "You cannot be serious," he said. Another thought occurred to him, and he grasped at it like a drowning man lunging for a piece of driftwood. "What about the payments that were being taken from my paychecks?"

Jim's uncle laughed. "My boy, surely you don't believe you made this much?!"

"Well, no," admitted Jim, clinging to this last tiny piece of hope, "but it's got to count for something, right?"

Jim's uncle laughed again. "My boy," he said again, slightly shaking his head from side to side, "how do you think I've made my fortune?" He stuffed the second card into his stunned nephew's hands, nodded to an equally stunned Sharla, and escorted himself out, leaving a horrified silence in his wake.

And now I will ask you the question that was surely running laps around Jim's beleaguered mind: If you have to steal from and enslave your own children to achieve it, can you truly call it freedom?

Fortunately, this story is fiction.  After all, this sort of abandonment of common sense could never be possible in the real world.  An entire nation could only subscribe to this sort of twisted logic...

...in the Twilight Zone.

Speak for yourself, Bernie.

So the Vast Right Wing Blogspiracy is all atwitter about the revelation of an article written by aspiring Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders (C*-VT) back in the '70s, which seems...er,  just a little non-PC.

Now, as we all know, the Mushroom Media will ignore this, and anyone on the Left who manages to hear about it anyway will find any means to excuse it because Koch brothers or something.  If you doubt me, study the Presidential career of Hillary's husband.  And it's not like any election in the former USA matters one thin damn, since there's no alternative to the Fascist Party:  your only choice is whether you want your tyranny with a red or a blue tint.  But I just had to comment on this line:

“A man goes home and masturbates his typical fantasy,” wrote Sanders. “A woman on her knees. A woman tied up. A woman abused.”

Excuse The F*** Me?????  Dude, I maintain that if you not only find this sort of fantasy arousing, but actually think it's 'typical,' you really need to be locked away from the rest of us until someone sets your brain straight.  But I shouldn't be surprised, really--seems like everyone we elect to public office these days wants to rape us all in one fashion or another.


*Communist

Tinfoil hat radical craziness...

...or, as it used to be called, "self-evident truth."

If you wish to salvage America, if it is to be done at all, the only answer is to restore in law and in fact the philosophy that holds man as his own rightful property, and his life and his liberties as the material implementation of that fact.  Please do not bother about statist notions of “obligations” or “responsibilities” of free men.  The only actual, logical “obligation” of a free man is to respect those same rights among other men, and his only collectivized “responsibility” is to pay for the upholding of those rights among all men.  This is the sole justification of governments, and it is the sole reason that any form of taxation is logically (and morally) permissible.  This means a court system, to resolve disputes among men; a policing mechanism, to apprehend those who violate the rights of men; a national defense to protect against massive attacks on the rights of men.  Deprived of the ability to use the power of the state as a gun aimed at the heads of other men in the name of their own peculiar interests, with the threat of a watchful state waiting to punish such aggressors, men must deal with one another by volitional means, i.e., “free trade” or “commerce.”

RTWT.  Whatever cause our soldiers were sent to fight and die for over the centuries, it wasn't to defend the country we live in now.  This is not the America they swore their lives to, and I increasingly despair of its ever returning.

God help us.

Nothing sinister here,move along...

There is a completely rational explanation for this.  And it's a total coincidence.  And it didn't happen anyway and STFU YOU RACIST TEABAGGER!!

There is no debate. I am living proof that there was a widespread political witch hunt and criminal conspiracy within the IRS. It is also proof that this scandal extended beyond the IRS to high-level Democrats -- including a specific Democratic U.S. Senator. It's all in black and white in my personal IRS tax files. These are facts.

My files have been turned over to U.S. Senate investigators. I stand ready and eager to testify.

Now it’s time for the mainstream media to do their job and connect the dots. 

"Now it’s time for the mainstream media to do their job and connect the dots."  Yeah, right, bro.  Just like the whole U.S. Senate investigation amounting to anything other than empty words, that'll happen right around the Fifteenth of Never.  There is no 'mainstream media' anymore.  Now it's the Mushroom Media, so named because they keep us in the dark and feed us bullshit.

You STILL don't understand what you're dealing with.  Does this make more sense now??

Man, I'm really getting frustrated with this nonsense.  I can understand your average blindly clueless individual believing that we still have a rule of law, but come on!  Mr. Root, you're obviously intelligent enough to see the truth--does it scare you so much that you just don't want to?

Three-fer: The natural progression...

What's going on?

Democrats win election by stoking resentments, scapegoating productive people for the failures of unproductive people, looting the public treasury, and making monsters out of their opponents. These policies win elections very effectively particularly where voters are uneducated and ill-informed (i.e. dependent on Democrat-run schools and Democrat-run media), but as a strategy of governance, they are inherently dysfunctional. The resentments become hatred and violence, the productive people abandon the dysfunction until the dysfunctional are a voting majority, the public treasury is robbed bare, and you end up with… Detroit, Newark, Baltimore, St. Louis, Providence, Bridgeport, Camden, and all the other one-party urban hellholes, basically.

Democrats think that the dysfunction can be papered over by spending more of other people’s money. But that only works while there is money to spend.  The country is broke, which is why I think Baltimore is just the prelude of what’s to come.

What's behind it?

Let’s assume, for the moment, that Jade Helm 15 is not a thinly veiled military plot to take over the country lifted straight out of director John Frankenheimer’s 1964 political thriller Seven Days in May, as some fear, but is merely a “routine” exercise for troops, albeit a blatantly intimidating flexing of the military’s muscles.

The problem arises when you start to add Jade Helm onto the list of other troubling developments that have taken place over the past 30 years or more: the expansion of the military industrial complex and its influence in Washington DC, the rampant surveillance, the corporate-funded elections and revolving door between lobbyists and elected officials, the militarized police, the loss of our freedoms, the injustice of the courts, the privatized prisons, the school lockdowns, the roadside strip searches, the military drills on domestic soil, the fusion centers and the simultaneous fusing of every branch of law enforcement (federal, state and local), the stockpiling of ammunition by various government agencies, the active shooter drills that are indistinguishable from actual crises, the economy flirting with near collapse, etc.

Suddenly, the overall picture seems that much more sinister...

Where will it lead? 

But I am a soldier, and I know what must be done; and so I shall put away my sadness and I shall harness up the bitter steed of war, and gird myself up for the battle; and I shall ride out to meet the enemies of Liberty; not in rage, not for anger sake or the hope of vengeance; but because I swore an oath before God, to jealously guard our Republic and its Constitution against all enemies; Him I shall not disappoint, for He is my Hope and my Trust.

Therefore, as much as my soul laments against the harsh truth before me, I make this declaration to my enemies who press me into this battle, that none shall be able to afterwards say “I did not know, you did not warn me”;

I do not care why you took that job with the government, or why you continue to hold it. I only know that you have become Judas and sold yourself to an oppressive state – your government office buildings and vehicles are part of the battlefield, and as a soldier I shall act accordingly.

This is not good.  But, as LT points out above:   between myself, Ann Barnhardt, Mike, Kerodin and countless others...

...you can't say you weren't warned.
