SHIP COMING IN

 We spotted this last night on the Fairport Harbor camera over at Gunsmoke and Knitting. We never used search lights at night in the Navy unless we were messing around late at night and nobody was paying attention. This is a Laker entering the wildly misnamed Grand River.

SAVAGE TARDS

When you look at the utter disaster the deservedly scorned and despised have made of education in this country I wonder that we haven't had one of the dedicated haters of humanity sickly and viciously attempt to force all the little children to write left handed just like xer. Come to think of it, I just know one of those scum is out there right now trying to force a whole kindergarten class to write left handed.

THE VORTEX OF LIES

 I was chatting with my little pilot after Christmas Dinner and he was concerned that Elon Musk had ruined Earth's orbital space more or less forever by launching Starlink satellites into orbit. I tried to reassure the young pilot that this was not the case and that the link satellites were all deliberately put into low earth orbits that would guarantee their return to earth within approximately 5 years from going online. Our pilot was absolutely convinced that I was in error! Ha.

At any rate, I did look into it this morning and found that yeah, what I'd read through a year or so ago was still true and that all the link satellites are already getting hit with drag and will fall to earth in about 5 years after launch. What troubled me though was how hard it was to root out the truth from google/duck/etc. It took 5 different search queries to even winnow down the lies and misinformation. 

I know that the web has been filled with lies since shortly after it went world wide. My first real eye opening experience was looking. up Senator John McCain shortly after he announced his run for the Presidency and I found that I had to page through something like 30 full screens of outright lies about the man on my first google search. I knew it was a foul place but I had no idea how foul it was until that moment when I realized that most people unfamiliar with the truth would simply accept everything they read off google as the absolute truth.

I used to make up for some of the flaws in the web search by using Yandex. I haven't troubled the web looking for its version of truth in years so I had failed to notice that Yandex is gone and Duck and google just are not anything like worthwhile when it comes to getting the facts and this now applies to almost every branch of science, history, current events or anything under the sun. All of it is spun and the only way to know it is to be familiar with the primary source material or to have been there.

People now talk about the "real history" of the United States or the World as if the people who have been writing it down for the last 2000 years just made it up. The current crop of fools believe that they must all have conspired together to write it in such a way as to completely erase the parts that the "new historians" are trumpeting. That they can do this almost defies belief. Did they never have to look at primary source materials in school when writing a report? Did they never read biographies and perhaps even biographies written by different authors about the same man? I think the answer is no. Asked to carry out some bit of research the trusting little fools all turn to the biased and lying internet to scrape together the facts they want to believe in and call that research and background information. This doesn't bode well for the future.

I used to read the Encyclopedia Britannica. My dad's parents gave us their copy of the entire thing plus all the year books through 1968 and my parents cleverly put it by the bathroom for light reading. Much more to the point, I also found as I got into my 20s that the World Almanac covered most of the facts that needed covering and you could always buy the previous year edition for under a dollar. Real information was never further away then the door outside the bathroom.

My young pilot also thinks that a lot of the debris in orbit is caused by accidental collisions of satellites and I can see why the naive might believe something like that because they really have no idea how small things are in a volume so large. I tried to find some data on accidental collisions and the only one I found at all believable involved a Russian dead satellite/part and an Iridium Satellite.  I can't believe anything about a putative dead Soviet satellite and I would have thought Iridium would have been very careful about the orbital mechanics for one of those satellites. On the other hand, I do know that we conducted anti-satellite tests and destroyed satellites in orbit and so did the USSR and China. There is a lot of crap up there that came from smashing satellites together but all the rest of what I saw online was hype and scam right up there with global warming scaremongering.

I started out, literally, on the Secret Internet Protocol in 1996. When I reported to work in Bahrain I did not own a computer and had no plans to own one. I did not own a modem or plan to. When I arrived in Bahrain I found that on. my desk, on every staff member's desk there was a SIPRNET computer and each was fully connected to that network. I pretty much remained on that network until I retired 15 years later. I accepted all of what I found on that network to be as accurate as people could make it. If there were errors they were not deliberate errors although some things could clearly be ascribed to as false intelligence. For the most part, what I read was what was real. It's nothing like that on the world wide web and hasn't been since shortly after it went live and people got beyond TELNET and FETCH and BBS.

I would say that this constitutes an enormous problem for civilization. I knew that the enemies of civilization had swept the schools, the teaching profession, the universities, the news and information networks on television, cable and the radio but I thought that there was still an excellent chance of finding the truth about things more or less as easily as it was to find the lies. This is not the case.

I read L. Sprague de Camp's wonderful story, Lest Darkness Fall back when I was going to school in Huntsville and it struck a chord. I knew enough about the history of that timeline to follow along as he departed from our History and started writing another. I don't know anybody under the age of 50 today who could do that. People don't seem to know any history at all. I guess its the same with science, math, government, geography and all the other things I spent my youth learning and keeping up with.

It's hard to believe that the story was written 1939.

IT IS TIME

 I wonder if there are any normal red blooded American men left in Colorado....



ON THE DOWNFALL OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION

 One of the ignored facets of wide open borders and endless waves of migrant military age muslim men is that the enemy's entire guerilla force is already deeply embedded in the countries in the West and they can pretty much operate at will and with almost total impunity. There is almost no crime that they can commit that will see them deported from idiotic shitholes like France, Germany, Great Britain or any other country in the EU. Worst of all, they all know it now.

Aligning your country's navy with the defeat of endless islamic pirates in the Bab-el-Mendeb and the Horn of Africa is a total nonstarter for even the dimly self-aware politicians in charge of the West and they realize, somehow, that poking the pirates with a sharp stick will result in immediate retaliatory strikes against their people, their mass transit systems and their infrastructure including the power grid; all of which are completely defenseless against any kind of attack.

It's kind of sad that people don't realize this yet. On the gripping hand, I'm convinced that we're now down to less than 2% of the population being aware of anything at all. You literally see this in the Blue cities now overrun with endless and increasingly violent crime and the response of law and justice system is to do absolutely nothing which begets even more violence and crime and still the system does nothing. It cannot go on.

TURNABOUT

 Next time we dip into the well of madness and insanity (modern science by consensus) we are going to practice a different method of reducing viral infections. All masked people must get triple vaccinated, stay at home and never under any circumstances, go outside. For a year.

JUST SAY NO

 If you had any doubts about the outcome of decivilizing this country and its effects on military readiness and capabilities here' your answer and it isn't pretty. This is just one snippet. Go to the link and read the rest of the article. It describes an epic tragedy that needs the a writer and soldier like Thucydides to explain what is going to happen when this army does go to war. They won't make it out of the barracks.

I have a pretty good idea, just looking at them, just how invaluable they would be in any job in the Army, much less one that required actual exertion, attention to detail and support.

 

Hey kids, don't join the military. It's way more lethal than you could ever even imagine.

TROUBLE AT THE MILL

The DNC announced today that it is voiding its support for kleptocrat dementia supreme leader Biden and offering the Führership of the Socialist Workers Party to Kamala Harris, the Presidential Vice. In other news:

ANOTHER WINDTUNNEL CAPTURE

 I see that another of our Atlantic oast sailors has weighed in on our role in the Ukraine-Russia War and he is not at all happy with US under-performance in getting stuck deep into a meaningless, pointless, irrational and stupid war that demonstrates exactly what the merits of NATO are and just how meaningless NATO has become. Those of us on the Pacific Coast and Middle East Force had little trouble understanding that NATO was a pointless suck that drained our money and warships into shoring up the illusion that there was still some remaining shred of military might and competence still ashore in Western Europe. We saw it all as nothing but pure waste after the Cold War ended and everyone retired to their own corners and left each other to their own devices for awhile. 

Some of us saw it clearly enough when the USN and America essentially eliminated Sixth Fleet and the Mediterranean became as harmless to the West as the Sea of Cortez. There were no menacing and dangerous cancers left to blight Europe's sudden freedom from the crushing burden of not actually supporting NATO with any meaningful military spending, training, or utility for over 30 years. They could relax and get ready to welcome all the boat people from Africa that NATO's cunning decapitation of Libya made so inevitable and well deserved.

It's fascinating to think that there really are military officers who believe and write about Russia's imperial ambitions which, they exclaim, showed Russia meant to expand upon by pouncing on a supine Ukraine and wrest it out of the hands of NATO or the EU. That's not really what happened and everybody who actually reads knows that's not what happened. A guileless, stupid and rapacious bunch of thugs in NATO and Ukraine thought they could vastly expand the corruption and flow of money into their own pockets by bringing Ukraine into NATO and they proposed doing that over the howling objections of a Russia that they had lied to and told that they would never do such a thing. They got caught red handed.

Putin tried for a simple coup-de-main but it never really stood much of a chance and I think he knew it going in. The teething problems generating a combat force out of an entire nation that had no blooded cadre of officers, men, doctrine, tactics or techniques for waging modern war was not a surprise to anybody versed in sudden war after a prolonged peace. You should read the butcher's bill for our Civil War, World War I and World War II and if you're a glutton for punishment, Korea. Expertise in battle only comes with battle. The next naval war is really truly going to suck. All the Royal Navy Falklands lessons bounced right off American naval staff and went nowhere.

They got so caught up in believing what their idiot POL/MIL and NATO planners told them about the 'correlation of forces and superiority of all military and political things Western,' that they let their ambition run away with them and left Russia no choice but to make it clear that buffer states must remain buffer states. That's a lesson that the idiots and fools in the Baltic are relearning as they make the pretense of gearing up and girding their loins and spending money they will never have to buy weapons to stave off the illusionary 'Imperial Russia.' 

I am no longer so amused or tolerant of the idiots who told us a year ago that Russia was bled out and had lost the WAR because some failure of a 4 star American former general says so. What passes for the media in this country simply accepts anything that dribbles out of the mouth of men like Petraeus and the other monkeys privileged to wear 4 stars and they rabbit on about a Ukrainian Counter-offensive that will crush the Russians under the treads of the 40 or 50 NATO tanks that the NATO was able to generate and dispatch to Ukraine almost a year after placing the order and telling the Ukrainians to soldier on. How sickening and pathetic.

I got a kick out of this marvelous bit of news. See for yourself but here's a paragraph or two for your amusement:


 Just think of that! The NATO bozos have spent the last 5 years planning an Air Deployment Exercise involving a mere 250 planes and 10,000 personnel! That pretty much defines NATO and the people who used to work for SACLANT to a T. This giant exercise will appear to require just 10 aircraft from each NATO member. I get the feeling most of them will be business jets and most of the participants, if they leave their home bases at all, will probably fly commercial air.

That's not the only insanity in the article, Consider: this is the latest help from a NATO member to Ukraine to encourage them to continue fighting and dying for no sound reason at all except that money flowing into the pockets of businessmen, our politicians and cronies of Ukraine's dictator and his sycophants. Read it and weep.

How can any sane American believe that by supporting war in Ukraine we are doing anything but evil? 

What we are seeing is the rough Russian equivalent of the United States invading Mexico with just the forces we currently have stationed or based in California. The Economic Sanctions we levied on Russia have shattered the economic standards that we are so accustomed to that we hardly even notice and all the people that tell you that this war is ruinous to Russia and good for us have been lying or simply ignorant and foolish. 

On the gripping hand, they are the same voices that pronounce that the United States must gear up now for the coming war with China. They never seem to be able to articulate the victory conditions that would have to apply to end such a war and given we haven't ended the last war we got into with China, it's presumptuous and stupid to think the second war won't turn out as badly or worse than the first. And it's never clear why we need to go to war with China anyway. All those Asian countries that share a frontier with China had the same knowledge we did about the buildup and did damn-all to prepare themselves so that means they're not sincere which means there really is no reason for us to fight their wars for them. There's also no real sign that Taiwan would lift a finger to reject re-absorption into one China. And as with Israel, what did Taiwan ever do for us that makes them an ally worth fighting a major war over?

AQUAMARINE

A quiet and peaceful place

THE DISNEY CRIME FAMILY

 I have been following the long trail of ruin and debris that is the Disney Entertainment fiasco but they have finally gone all the way down the drain. The twits running the company really should have told all their militant gay employees to shove it when they insisted on taking on the Governor of Florida and his and his party's decision to end the ongoing distribution of child porn in their elementary school system. It really would have been much better for Disney if they had just pushed them off the top of one of their higher amusement rides because now Florida's auditors have reported about the ongoing criminal enterprise that was the Reedy Creek Improvement District and the people who ran it like a criminal enterprise since it was initially founded.

Have a look and maybe take out third party life insurance on Bob. I suspect he'll have a fatal accident soon and I also suspect everyone involved in running the RCID in either already in or on their way to a country that doesn't have any extradition treaties with the United States.

This isn't going to end well.

SOME FASCINATING READING

 I just learned that the record of communications from CINCPAC from 7 December 1941 are available online for download and reading. Naturally, I'm reading it. You can find a good copy for download at the American Naval Records Society. This version is much easier to read then the version stashed at the Pacific War Museum where the quality of the recording is sometimes difficult to read. I got to page 167 and found this illuminating appreciation of the situation and it struck me that this was literally a world out of time to anybody who isn't at least 60 years old. We are the last generation in America that knew that all the worlds facts were buried in libraries and vaults and combination safes and if you didn't have the reference material available to hand then you would not begin to know what the other people were referring to. At any rate, this is not the starting point but a good precis. It should embiggen.


It clearly lays out the situation in the next 7 pages. It is literally inconceivable that the clowns running the United States and the US Military could even begin to conduct operations at this level today. They know that the ground is vanishing beneath their feet and they are more focused on stamping out racism and implementing serious abiding racism through DIE measures and the foolishness that appears more and more criminal every time it manifests.

TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR SOME INTERNS FOR AMERICA?

 I get a kick out of the little thugs in the Shite House now acting just like the grown up thugs running the White House and submitting a letter with demands. They failed to sign their names to it but as you can see from the extract, their cause is just since they're all apparently little palestinians working in our White House.

Is it too much to ask for to have even a handful of American Interns for America to spend some corrupting time working in the Biden White House? Why must it always be foreigners first with these guys?

Why not hire and corrupt some young Americans!


AN INFAMY NOBODY REMEMBERS

 I know. It is the ritual to remind ourselves of the ignominious attack on our Pacific Fleet and the various Army and Marine posts scattered around Oahu on 7 December 1941. Let us by all means remember those men who were caught altogether unready in all respects for the war that found them that Sunday morning in the last century in the last millennium. They and their commands and country were the unwitting victims of forces that had been placed into action by the ruling elite back in Washington, DC and the elites running things over in Japan and of course the foolish dregs of the formerly mighty European civilization. Those sailors, soldiers, marines and airmen had no idea that the embargoes laid against the Japanese Empire because of its long occupation and destruction of life in China and Korea were going to cost them so much, 'out of the blue' on that fine Sunday morning.

The infamy then was laid on the Empire of Japan for attacking without warning. So be it, that's how the weak attack the mighty. The weak will cast about for any advantage however temporary when contemplating an attack on a more powerful enemy. When you look at the events in hindsight it is easy to see that the United States by behaving in the way it did had indeed made itself an enemy in Japan. I've never really studied what the Japanese really expected to gain from that attack so I don't know what possessed them to launch it even knowing, and they had people that knew, that they were attacking an enormous potential for violence that had shown just hints of what it could do as it conquered a continent and waged war against its own self.

The current days of infamy trouble me far more because they show the collapse of all civilization and learning here in the United States and the rest of the West. The catastrophe that played out in Afghanistan with our own day of infamy where we left 14,000 Americans behind as we madly scrambled out of the country with the help of the Taliban as the government and people of Afghanistan turned on us in an instant is hard to forget but is already forgotten and unknown by 95% of those living in America today.

It's time to move back and motivate the politicians to do the sane things from now on and move to hold them and the bureaucrats accountable. What is happening in Ukraine is damning and everyone involved in sustaining the nightmare belief that somehow Ukraine could or ever could win a war against Russia should be turned over to the Ukrainians post-conflict for trial and sentencing. If that seems to harsh, then turn them over to the Russians. I'm good with either alternative. Consider, NATO allegedly exists to defend all of Western Europe from the Russia that is now, according to the idiots in the press, bogged down in a hopeless war against tiny unarmed little Ukraine. That being the case everyone should be asking themselves what the titanic capabilities of NATO would do to Russia if it decided to go all batshit crazy and attack. By any and all lights, NATO isn't looking too good right now. I certainly wouldn't invest a penny in it.

I see the petty wranglers of nonsense and misrule are arguing about spending another $149,000,000,000 on Ukraine (US Defense Contractors and Democratic Party Stalwarts) because the rethuglicans want to posture about our decades long ongoing border disaster and want some glittery fairy dust to sprinkle on the total inactivity by anybody from Government on our southern border. Sadly, it will end like it always does with the thugs 'compromising' with the democrats to give American Democrat Cronies another $157,000,000,000 in aid packets that we will have to borrow by having the Fed print it since nobody is buying our Treasury Notes anymore and we don't begin to have it laying around.

Things are looking pretty infamous all around these days.

MORE OF THE SAME STUPIDITY

 Putting warships into a conflict to simply be shot at without reply is the very height of stupidity. The USN has another one of its Destroyers getting shot at by Yemen and once again it is doing absolutely nothing in retaliation or reply. This kind of idiocy invites contempt and the people that live on that Sea have oceans of contempt for the weak and helpless. 

I think back to the very clear Middle East Force Standing Orders from when I was a watchstander out there and the Admiral could not have made his intentions and our response more clear if he stood behind us and shouted in our ear. I guess the fools running Central Command and Naval Forces Central Command and Fifth Fleet just don't think like that anymore. 

How many more times?

STRATEGIC POWER THINKING

 I'm just going to throw this out there because I think it is a splendid idea and because, I thought of it first.

I think there are a handful of states that if they really got their acts together are in a position to make huge killings off the weak, organized, libtard States and bring tax relief and real satisfaction to their residents. My brilliant idea is that the Smart States™pass state laws that simply mandate that the price of all energy generated within the state but sold outside the state must charge double the instate rate and that all that money flow into the State's general fund to offset up to 100% state income taxes, (in the backward states that still have income taxes) and/or used to pay for all bridge and road maintenance.

I'm sure there's a law dodger out there who will say that this is unconstitutional or some such nonsense but if State Universities can charge double the tuition for 'out-of-state' students at public universities, this should easily be every bit as legal as any other revenue scheme anybody thought of in the last 3000 years.

To maximize the profits for those States still sane enough to permit nuclear power plants and the like, the various State legislatures should also tax the Hell out of the power sold to outside the power-generating states. Just to be fair. States desiring to buy all that power that they used to make themselves but shut down in the name of global warming or some other false gods will also have to pay for 100% of the upkeep and maintenance of the infrastructure needed to send them power.

The Law would have to be firm with absolutely no wriggle room to extend credit, or slash rates to most favored states or any of that nonsense and of course would have to merciless in spelling out that all revenue accruing to the State must be used to offset income taxes or sales taxes or be used to roads and bridges.

My other brilliant idea has to do with voting out the least popular state lawmaker, state bureaucrat and judge every year and either tossing them on a bonfire or seeing if they are actual witches by submitting them to the float test.

THIS IS WHAT PRECOLONIAL LOOKED LIKE

 All those ignorant tools bleating about colonizers and white man guilt miss the fundamental truth of recorded history. This is what most pre-contact “civilizations” were before colonizers dropped in for a visit. 


If you thought colonists dropping by for a few centuries is bad, consider how much more horrible it is when the barbarians overrun civilization. 

Think that won’t happen again? Optimist.

THE EMPTY FORGE

 As one reads through the shattered debris of Eastern Europe one is left with the overwhelming sensation that France, Germany, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium and all the rest of NATO are willing to trickle a little aid into the frontline states that may engage in combat but that there is really nothing left to give or sell to those states. It's all gone. NATO's last 'pure' effort was to attack and destroy Libya which it did pretty thoroughly. Prior to destroying Libya and bringing about the complete collapse of all international borders inside NATO's European members it oozed into attacking Yugoslavia and then crippling Serbia. I don't think it could do either of those today.

Unlike Russia, which put everything left over from the USSR that it didn't need into storage or depots or simply left to rot, the West put nothing away from the salad days of European pan-empire sabre rattling. The US took most of its tanks and warships and turned them into reefs or scrapped them. God only knows what the Europeans did with their weapons but they for sure aren't stored waiting for call of duty. On top of that we left a lot of hardware in Afghanistan where I'm sure Joe's negotiators are telling the taliban that we'll gladly pay top dollar for return of our stuff FOB Khabul and leave it up to the Army and Air Force to figure out how to get any of it out of that shi'hole.

All this is going on and there is still absolutely no sign of urgency in fixing any of the US Navy's ships and submarines and heaven only knows how many of its aircraft can actually fly and fight in a strongly contested 5th generation airspace. Nobody is fixing anything at all and nobody is building any weapons with any sense of purpose.

There's a reason for all that of course. The PTB know as well as you and I do that there is literally no way to defeat Russia, or China for that matter. Defeat implies at a minimum regime change and there is no way on earth to make that happen with those two powers. Some of us still laugh a little at the idea that imbeciles in the US shipped 95% of all our steel, electronics and pharmaceutical industries to China, a country that we were still technically at war with since we never really got around to finishing off that whole Korean Police Action thing with a peace treaty.

There's not much of an Army here in the United States to send to Europe anyway. On top of that, there's not many ships to send even that tiny army overseas. The Army some of us remember is long gone and has been replaced by a collection of people that are in a swirl to rename things and re-imagine other things and trying to convince older soldiers to stick around despite the dearth of junior soldiers who aren't joining the Army to do all those tasks suitable for 18 year old men and women serving in the armed forces. We used to joke about too many chiefs and too few indians but that's what it looks like when recruits no longer show up to learn the duties and tasks of an army.

I don't see any evidence that any of the armed forces around here are observing and critiquing the ongoing war in Ukraine and there is no sign at all that they are adapting and adjusting doctrine and tactics that are now as woefully out of date as cavalry charges in World War II. It used to be the business of the professional officer corps to take note of reality, adjust their tactics, techniques, procedures, doctrine, training and equipment to deal with that reality. I'm not seeing any signs of that.

If I was still in the business I'd be alarmed that GPS spoofing is now widespread and it appears that some idiot hooked up inertial guidance systems to gps inputs thus corrupting the backups. The employment of true hypersonic weapons appears to have passed unnoticed by those whose principle concern should be missile defense of ships, battle groups and headquarters. The employment of light expendable warhead armed drones that are almost autonomous killing machines over the battlefield doesn't seem to have started any fires in the way we mean to deal with them. One can say the same thing for electronic warfare and I don't even want to talk about cyberwar because what's the point. The best minds are not engaged and even if they were the full details and working models would be in enemy hands by nightfall because our intelligence and C4I systems are more porous than a wet paper bag.

It would be nice if any of the 4 stars we have so many of would show up and tell us that they are burning the midnight oil and working round the clock 24/7 and have spun up acquisition commands, contracting and research and development but I know how it works. They farm the task out to the various military/government labs and then let the labrats slowroll every single damned thing in a pointless intellectual pursuit driven almost purely by the need to continue the funding to the labs in order to keep them all comfortable, forever.

Something tells me that General Austin and the new AFCOS have a very different set of priorities. I think it's safe to take them at their word and simply say that the first priority is making DIE the premier activity in the Department of Defense and the Air Force and that the Navy isn't that far behind and I've lost track of what the USMC is up to but it didn't look good going by me a couple of years ago. Also, it's never a good sign of a strong leader to nearly expire of a heart attack while out for a jog. Maybe that's why the old military/navies were filled with portly generals and admirals....

I'd like to think that something like Deep Blue is still out there churning out good stuff for the highest echelons of the Navy but I doubt it and even if there is still an office with that name and someone answers the phone there, it is unlikely to have anybody of the caliber of Admiral Stavridis running it and it looks like the highest echelons of the USN have been completely divorced from any and all aspects of warfighting, planning or preparation.

Good news though for all those guys not doing their jobs in the military! Nobody gets sacked for miserable terrible performance of duty as long as there's no hanky panky or racial rumors. You can get away with massive, epic, insane disasters that will rank right down there with the British experience fighting in Afghanistan and suffer no harm or blight to your ongoing and future career prospects!

Go Navy, Beat Army

LET'S REVIEW: PRESIDENTIAL KNIFE FIGHT

 I posted this ages ago but I ran across it yesterday while looking back and thought it was time to repost the story. In a mass knife fight to the death among U.S. Presidents who would win and why?

1) George Washington – Commanding presence, strong physique, military training, viewed as a hero by everyone asked to shank him: He makes Top 10 without question. Of the guaranteed top three (I’m going to call them the Holy Trinity for the purposes of this rambling rundown), my money is on Jackson being the one who murders him; he wouldn’t blink, either. They were closer in age, and the hero myth wouldn’t be quite as firmly set. Besides, I’m pretty sure Jackson didn’t blink when he sneezed…

2) John Adams is going out early. Nothing against the man, but portly well-spoken lawyers bring lampoons to a knife fight. It doesn’t end well.

3) Thomas Jefferson. I’d like to say he’d make a good show of it, but he was a bit of dandy… Middle of the pack, but his dying words would be incredibly quotable.

4) James Madison. He’s just too short. I’m sorry: You need reach in a knife fight. The bravado of the philosophy behind Manifest Destiny only gets you so far. He’ll die early, and his small corpse will be one of the least important tripping hazards as the battle wears on.

-------------------

Get the real rundown on each President's knife fighting chances. It's an amusing way to spend a little time.

WHEN THE GLOVES COME OFF

 It will be interesting to see what the post-meddling billionaire world looks like after rulers like Putin decide to put down the busybody billionaires that are making the policy and decisions for our moron in the White House and the other morons in the West who don't seem to be at all concerned in any ways at all with the welfare of their own people or countries.

Russia has shown an awesome talent for making wealthy men dead of mysterious causes ranging from the sudden urge to take flight off a tall building to simply fading away from some rare form of poison or difficult to synthesize radioactive material that somehow ended up in their tea.

I think the world would be better off without many of the billionaires now roaming it and can't help but wonder if my favorite, the pirate submarines, will make their return to sink a few yachts that may disappear and be supposed to have succumbed to icebergs, fire, flooding and disease (darn zombies are everywhere....).

It's easy enough to drone them out of existing by simply hitting all their properties with missiles from a thousand kilometers away or simply taking them out with special forces although perhaps the easiest way would be to simply post a bounty on them.

It's pretty clear that these are the people behind the foolish insanity in Ukraine and every other place you find gibbering madmen doing crazy and insane things to other people at any cost to themselves. 

I may sound in favor of a policy like this but I am tired of the insane global warming hysteria that has replaced science and I'm sick of people thinking we should eat bugs and live without electricity while also demanding the conversion of all energy in the developed world to the irrational and stupid green scam of solar and wind. All you have to do is look and see what the World Economic Forum is supporting and you'll find the source of the madness sweeping the world. 

When people say things again and again about what they intend to do to you it behooves you to take them at their word. They and the billions of islamists want to wipe away the world we live in today and replace it and they are moving mountains to make that happen.

FRIENDS?

 It escapes just about everyone in America that nations/states don't have friends, they have interests. I keep seeing things like this:

Where and when did Ukraine ever demonstrate that it was our friend? When did Israel? Jimmy Carter got the peace at Camp David but it was not a peace between friends and it wasn't a real peace. It was more of a cease-fire and acknowledgement by both Sadat and Begin that war between Egypt and Israel over something as barren and worthless as PLO terrorists and their enablers in Gaza and the West Bank was a waste of resources and money and there was Carter to sweeten the deal and offer enormous amounts of money every year forever to both Israel and Egypt simply for signing on the dotted line and not warring anymore against each other. 

He even threw in a truly pointless biannual military exercise called Bright Star where a few hundred marines and 3rd Army elements take part with a bomber or two in a month long thoroughly scripted exercise that demonstrates interoperability or something between a force that fights for about 2.5 hours/day except Fridays and Saturdays and one that has nothing better to do and happens to be in the area. (USMC).

As I sit here in the dark, I cast my mind back and wonder what 'friendship' did Israel ever extend to the United States of America or even Americans in general? They pretty thoroughly poisoned the well with the USN when they deliberately attacked and re-attacked USS Liberty. The link takes you to the US Naval Institute history of the attack and aftermath. I am wracking my brain to think of any 'friendly' advances from our friends in Israel over the last 50 or 60 years and coming up blank. 

USS Liberty shot to pieces by Israeli Air Force and Navy

The Israel I remember had a towering reputation as a military power but it is important to remember who they were fighting against. They have first rate scientists but I can't recall any defense technology transfers that originated in Israel with them sharing or even selling high technology with the USA. They had an international reputation for ruthless and efficient spying but they also get caught a lot spying on the United States.

The liars who work in the media are now reporting that "some people" in the "administration" are urging the Israelis to speed up their dismemberment of hamas but I take that with a grain of salt. The "people" the press are talking about are the ones that had no trouble at all fully supporting and backing 20 years of war in Iraq and Afghanistan and the very thought of any of those idiots urging the Israelis to hurry up and stick their generative organs into the hamas meat grinder is simply laughable and even more laughable that any military commander or even a political leader in Israel would consider the notion.

On the gripping hand, the leadership of the fickle is often very fickle and does things defying belief. I don't think anybody foresaw the man they knew as Ariel Sharon simply giving away all of Gaza lock stock and barrel. The arabs screwed that up as expected, elected hamas to rule them, exterminated PLO Fatah in Gaza and then got down to some serious digging and terrorism.

I get some amusement about all the usual alarmed TV talking heads chanting in lockstep now about genocide of palestinians but there doesn't appear to be any shortage of them and every TV cast now includes the fabricated death toll released by hamas that indicates to the ignorant that Gaza is almost entirely peopled by just women and children and contains only hospitals and schools. I suppose if one hopes for demonstrated incompetence it is better to keep it to things like genocide not like the ruthlessly competent Turks and Germans who know how to execute a good solid genocide at the drop of a hat.

I don't take Foreign Policy or read it anymore but I do wonder where the current version of Bretton Woods is going on and just who is there trying to set the stage for post-American hegemony. The gold standard is long gone, the national debts are astronomical and unrepayable, the ethnic jihad is just starting in Europe and will lead to unexpectedly severe friction in just a short while as the Europeans realize just what they did to themselves and the global south is a complete disaster (unchanged since any time in recorded history).

And finally, the United States and EU shattered the world that was created by the Bretton Woods Agreement when they fucked with Russia and Putin to the point where he picked up all of Russia's marbles and left the game to start his own with like-minded, sick of fuckwit American imbeciles ruining everything and created an alternative system that includes Russia, China, India, Brazil and the rest of the BRICS. Read it and weep.

WARSHIPPING WITH THE NEOPAGANS

 I caught this in a church in England. It appears to confirm my own belief that the global warming cultists have taken over every damned thing and are ruining it all in the name of gaia. 

Church of England today

I'm pretty sure that if there truly was an earth spirit it would scrape the global warming cultists off its shoe in a right hasty fashion and move on. 

Is there nothing the global warming cult cannot ruin? Srsly, watching the AP news headlines last night I saw that some batch of cultists in US government claimed that global warming was ruining every single place in North America and it left us all wondering, surely some places get better when it gets a degree or two warmer and how could anyone make that claim when the natural temperature swings from 100 degrees to 0 in a given location? 

Sadly, at the end of the day we'll have to make do with our "Nuke a gay global warming blue whale for Christmas" t-shirts and leave it at that.

SOME PEOPLE NEVER WAKE UP

 I see from my study of the media and close inspection of lifelong leftists that they still see nothing at all wrong with racism, intolerance, bigotry, evil and stupidity and they are 100% onboard with lying, disdainful and inept civil servants who abuse both the people and the law all so long as it is for any cause any leftist ever supported. In short, they are exactly the kind of people who can watch terrorists literally hunt down and kill children in their homes and feel sympathy for the terrorists who were driven to do it by the actions of some people they don't like.

I see others on the right who believe that the actions of 9/22 and 20/7 were a "wake-up" call for the lefties who still worship Che and think Hugo Chavez was the Savior of Venezuela and who support everything any communist ever did as simply a reaction to racism, oppression, slavery, mean tweets, etc.

I didn't think I'd become so cynical but there you have it. This is also an admission that the so-called religion of peace (take your pick, it's a title they all claim and none honor) doesn't really believe in turning the other cheek. Everyone is gloriously familiar with what happens when you do that. That's right, a gang of youths stomps your head into the ground and kills you.

I wonder what motivates/drives school teachers these days. I don't really think it's the money or the respect they gain from their students and their parents and I don't understand how the Unions that allegedly represent them keep striking for more money and never ever is a word breathed that perhaps its time to cull the 10% of out of control violent and vicious thugs from the school rolls and send them to a place where they can do no harm like New York or San Francisco which treasures and cherishes the 'misunderstood' and 'under-privileged.' 

Srsly, if I was a teacher I'd have a few non-negotiable demands before I step foot into a school. I go armed to the teeth. Anyone who gets violent in class gets expelled-never to return and anyone too stupid to sit still and pass a written test gets a do-over just one time and then gets introduced to the wild and banished from school. I don't care if they get handed a diploma on the way out since diplomas are pretty much just as worthless as an illiterate thug.

THE CURRENT DIFFICULTY

 It would be nice to confess that I don't take the news but it wouldn't be true. I don't see any reason to expound on the events going on now around the formerly civilized world but I can't say I'd be disappointed if the various interested parties all jump in as is their wont and sink their teeth into something that they figure will finally offer a final solution.

For myself I don't find it a difficult choice. I won't even offer up the old platitude of offering to simply select the least evil choice. This is another one of those intractable matters that has only one solution. It's a binary solution.

I see that all the interested parties are on stage now and making the usual noises and emoting but I sense this time they might be encouraged to go a little too far although it is possible to see that the doors that were slamming open wide have now begun to slow considerably. All the evil things may not get out of the box and into the light after all.

It's kind of sad that this is just about the best that one can hope for now.

Any sane Western employer would be wise to take note of the names and degrees of the college/university people out there pushing for genocide in Israel. You really don't want people like that working for you in any capacity unless you're an exterminator.

CELEBRATED RETURN

 I was out of town and offline while off celebrating my mother's birthday and Veteran's Day with family. It was fun, interesting, and informative as we spent time with nephews I haven't seen for about 10 years and found out what their up to as they pursue adult life. 

I'll throw up some of the offline stuff later this evening if my freshly updated systems permit me to do that without giving google permission to rummage through all the files on all my computers and clouds.

NORMALITY IS RESTORED

 I found myself missing some of the old regulars that sort of dropped off the edge of the world over the last few years. Good news! One of them has returned and yes I spent about 30 minutes reading up on installation and architectures of pleasant things done well by others very far away that somehow give me reason to think my own efforts in this regard might some day bear fruit. It will be a really dangerous and menacing fruit but it could happen.

TRULY APOCRYPHAL NEWS

 Israel is attacked by terrorists on a massive and murderous scale and,

It is really very difficult to actually put words on paper and write something that people would find unbelievable about the vicious scumbags that run our government and all of our bureaucracies. Here we have a nation attacked by terrorists and the vicious State Department scumbags demand that no weapons we furnish to fight off terrorists should be furnished or made available to the people defending against terrorists.

On the other hand, I'm so inured to government lying about everything that for just an instant I don't know why the Israeli officials didn't simply assure the nice State Department vicious scum that 'of course none of these weapons would be allowed for that purpose! honest!' You know, sort of like every single ATF and FBI and Police scam that ends in tears because they sold weapons and explosives to 'bad' guys.

It has been clear for decades that the people running our government and the media (and they are the same exact people) think that the bulk of our citizens are low grade morons and by dint of serious hard work; hiring only the very stupidest, most venal and corrupt and most progressive teachers and professors for the last 50 years, they have achieved their desired end state.

The Babylon Bee has to work very hard to come up with any fake story or fake headline that doesn't look just like it was ripped from today's news.

I HEARD THE DEATH BEETLE

I read somewhere last week that some Chinese scientists boasted of being able to make tailored virus packages that could and would target only certain genetic mixes. In other words, the possibility of engaging in actual genocide against specific races was brought to the fore as the world teeters on the brink of collapse.

Wasn't that interesting?

WINTER MELODY

 It snowed last night and hailed on us as we drove this morning so a refreshing change up is mandated.

Tuesday, October 31, 2023

SLOWLY AT FIRST AND THEN SUDDENLY

 I see that the USMC Commandant has been admitted to hospital following some sort of medical emergency. I certainly hope that he recovers and returns to duty. It does however bring up a few things in relation to following the actual law and the consequences that follow from not following the law. In this news from Navy Times it appears that there is no Assistant Commandant to take over for the ill leader of the USMC because the Senate has, as usual, completely failed in its duty and responsibility. As with the rest of the fake media, the Navy Times blames one senator for this failure but the obvious fact of the matter is that only one senator appears to be interested in upholding the actual law.

One other thing glossed over by the paper is how the Commandant was supposedly working from 0500 until 2330 every day because he had no assistant commandant. Sadly, that's not how it works. There is an assistant commandant who is executing those duties in all but name because until the Department of Defense gets back onboard with following the law, they have hamstrung themselves and the nation but aren't suffering any lack of general officers anywhere.

This is yet another step showing from the top down a total indifference to following and upholding the law. When it is this apparent then it is no surprise that society itself is breaking down all over.

PROMOTION SCANDAL

 I see the IDF tracked down and killed the Hamas intelligence chief. Whenever this happens to the terrorists I always wonder how many of them were killed off because a scheming underling called the 1 (800) RAT FINK line managed by the CIA/NSA and ratted out the boss because they needed a promotion.

On the gripping hand, if we had something like this running here, General Milley and his ilk would be well carbonized by now.

SLAGGING HISTORY

My first audio storybook ended in the car yesterday as I was coming home so I tried a replacement book. I realized coming home last night that I had somehow gotten to chapter 14 in a Lee Child book and NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. So, I tossed that one and this morning I tried NPR for the first time in months and heard them gloating about the special smelter set up at a carefully non-disclosed hidden place where they melted down a statue of Robert E. Lee.

It's history in the making and I find it interesting to watch from afar. This was a 'victory' over history by a bunch of woke snowflakes and as they charge bravely into a future sans heroes from the past it is kind of relaxing to know that in a hundred years nothing at all of them will remain.

These are the low energy ignorant louts that your parents warned you about. They literally know nothing and are very pleased with their ignorance so of course nobody will remember them. What I do regret though is that the idiocy is contagious and spreading like wildfire even among the most educated members of this society. The people who probably know who Eugene V. Debs was probably would have liked his message and been shocked that the Powers that Be had Debs locked up for sedition and smashed every single facet of the nugget of democracy known as Freedom of Speech just because there was a WAR on.

And that's what bothers me the most. These ignorant lions of stupidity and sloth don't see anything at all wrong with silencing a man running for President. They see nothing wrong with their ilk censoring all speech and writing that doesn't conform to their ideas and their idiotic and imbecilic notions. They think they are the final arbiters of the freedom of speech and they get to declare anything they hate and dislike to be, 'misinformation' or 'disinformation' and kill it like it's some sort of vermin.

It's a pity that the statue slagged by the ignorant forces of darkness was such an unattractive piece. If it had been one of the magnificent statues I could see pilgrims stealthily painting silhouettes of it at all kinds of places as a reminder that history is best when it is not destroyed and forgotten. One of the sad realities today is that 9 out of 10 snowflakes could not tell you when the Civil War began and ended or who Lee was or Grant and probably have no idea who was President right up until the Army of Northern Virginia surrendered.

You know where there is a lasting monument that features General Robert E. Lee that will, I hope, never be forgotten? Yeah, that's right, it's in Arlington. It was his wife's house and land until some thieving scheming swamp creatures decided to steal it for the nation. They almost got away with it.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

 In a normal world that based its preparation for war using calculations from previous conflicts as the baseline for minimum acceptable stocks of weapons and ammunition this sort of quote from Professor Victor Davis Hanson would not bother me:

Regrettably, I've had enough exposure now to know that there is one underlying certainty of our military planners and Congress. A long time ago the Navy bean-counters, the Pentagon bean-counters and Congress all concluded that since we would never again have more than 4 battle groups on deployment at any one time (right about 1993 I think), there was really no need to purchase full magazine loadouts for all 12 battle groups (now 11) and instead just buy enough weapons to outfit the ones that could get to the scene of the fight which would obviously be over before any more carrier battle groups would be needed.

In other words, I don't really think that there is very much ammo left in the magazines of the Arsenal of Democracy. I would say that is not good news for the democracies but there are hardly any of them left anymore so I'm sure it doesn't really matter.

WELCOME VISITORS!

 Feel free to poke around in the back files. As we discuss here and elsewhere, nothing is ever really new so old news frequently bears a striking resemblance to the current news of the day.

ON COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT

 I'm watching the latest Tucker interview with Colonel Douglas MacGregor and he uses the term collective punishment as if it is an epithet and should always be avoided and then in the same breath talks about American military policy and strategy and deep thinking generals, every single one of which was brought up and ruled in an environment that consisted solely and entirely of collective punishment. It's in the blood! So, if we're waiting for some general in the Pentagon or elsewhere to rear his head and demand options other than collective punishment, it isn't going to happen.

Lawfare and the neocons exist purely because they employ collective punishment as their first and ultimate resort every single time. Dictator of country does a bad thing and everyone in the lawfare and neocon world starts leaping up and down and screaming for sanctions to be applied across the board to every single person living in that country. It's almost laughable.

In general a good time to look at one's strategic and operational options is at the beginning and before jumping in with guns blazing. Once the guns come out all other options fade away almost instantly and the deep thinkers are finally brought into play to nut out some way of extracting us from the meat grinder. As with Vietnam, that can take decades to happen. A better example is of course, our approach to resolving our difference with the USSR in Europe. It took some time.

In the meantime, everyone making and selling and buying weapons gets richer and influence peddlers get obscenely wealthy by selling access or just the appearance of access.

In this country the law is taking a beating and that it is mostly at the hands of the law is a surprise to me. This society has not even begun to try to control unlawfulness and it is allowing it to spread unchecked from the streets to the courts to the universities and to all the rest. This is how vigilantism works. When the law has irretrievably broken down and there is no justice, people will start to make it themselves.

On what the Israelis forgot or never learned.

The world gets used to a certain number of youths blown away every single day doing something wrong or just being in the wrong place. Simply look at Chicago. Nobody riots about the 15-20 shootings every day there because by and large nobody really cares. By the same token, nobody really cares if hamas rock throwers and missile men get shot and blown up every day. It's just another day of shooting a minor irritant that nobody really cares about.

They share an underlying problem. The people doing all the violence? They're otherwise completely and totally useless to society. Only an absolute moron would employ them, befriend them, allow them in their home and so society is finally forced to wonder, just what the Hell do we do with this thing we let our school teachers and news media create?

What do you do in a modern society with an entire underclass of useless people that can't read, won't work, aren't qualified temperamentally to behave like civilized beings and actively harm/destroy civilization wherever they run into it? 

Think about it. At this moment they are the punishment. I still feel some sympathy for the original inhabitants of Seattle and Portland and the other cities ruined by barbarians run amok.

THE GAME IS AFOOT!

 USS Carney was reportedly attacked and defended itself against both missiles and drones fired from the 3rd world country of Yemen somewhere in the Red Sea today. The day long predicted is now here.

Hopefully there was some savvy dude who directed that all of the counterfire systems we had deployed in Iraq were redeployed and manned and ready to defend our installations in the Middle East which don't really suffer much when overestimating the reasonable measures that the various installation commanders have been installing and implementing since Khobar Towers were attacked with impunity in 1996.

Drones in asymmetrical warfare have been an idea since I started writing here. I think we're going to find out what it's like to have no defense against air attack. It's going to rain fire.

AMUSING THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

 I enjoyed this video from yesterday.



I thought about how something like this could happen and the only answer I could come up with is that that guy has an absolute wizard of a Communication Director on his campaign staff and thought this would be an excellent way to get the message out while backhanding the snot out of what passes for media just about everywhere in the world these days. Pure genius. Find a likely looking schmoe to be the "media" and then practice practice practice until it looks completely unrehearsed.

We'll see more of these I think.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

 Africa, the Americas and most other places that got colonized? They were inhabited by Stone Age savages right up until they met European explorers. 

One of the things I read recently was attributed to something like a sociologist who delved into native American tribal names and 'discovered' that each tribe contacted by one of the newly arrived Europeans was asked, "what is the name of that tribe on the other side of the river," or words to that effect and the answer was always carefully recorded so that people would know the correct and proper name for the next tribe. Every time and with every tribe the 'name' correlated to the word, 'enemy' in the tongue of the tribe that was asked. And that is pretty much how all European contacts with the Stone Age worked out.

I miss Buck. He would have had words to say about that sentence. It was a doozy.

ANOTHER VOICE QUIETED

I enjoyed the sound of her voice very much. Sad to see her go.

 

Friday, October 13, 2023

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT TODAY

 First there is this perfectly natural expression of shocked dismay.

You know the saddest thing of all? If it was possible for our government to improve the lives and fortunes of all our citizens by simply doing one thing that is actually the very core of government and civilization such as closing our borders to the millions of migrants and terrorists flooding in now from all over the world.....I think our government would also decline to act. Every day it looks more and more like our government is the actual enemy of Americans and they've been pretty damned devastating to the rest of the world too. Our infamous behavior in Ukraine and the events leading up to a perfectly foreseeable response by Russia to ongoing NATO expansion have not escaped people's notice.  Our government is at the forefront of the powers intent on destabilizing the entire world.

A FASCINATING DEVELOPMENT

 Governor DeSantis has signed an Executive Order putting the Florida National Guard and Air National Guard at the disposal of select Florida selected officials to begin repatriation and evacuation of Florida (nationals) from Israel. It rather begs the question, can he have Florida Guard units deploy in support of this mission? Can they take any C5 or C17 aircraft they find lying around anywhere in Florida? Who sets the Rules of Engagement for National Guard forces deployed OCONUS in this mission?

WHAT NEW MADNESS IS THIS?

From the 'better and smarter than you' US Space Force comes this wunderbar new idea for making a fresh never before repeated for the 10,000th time, disaster. Yes indeed comrades, our Space Force is gungho to partner with our existing allies "to jointly architect systems and build capabilities together to avoid duplication and ensure interoperability.”

You know what makes a $40 million dollar satellite into a $2.7 billion dollar satellite delivered 15 years late and only partially mission capable? Make it joint and interoperable. What this idiot proposes and obviously the Space Force concurs with is to spread around our high tech and specs to all comers and invite them to be part of the process for designing and fielding our satellites and you have to wonder what the NRO and NSA think about that kind of insanity.

The NSA is unable to keep its own people and its very own contractors from stealing every secret they have access to and shopping it to our enemies or simply giving it away to all comers. How does the Space Force propose to vet who gets clearance to work on Top Secret Code Word satellite work that covers the full range of COMINT, SIGINT, MASINT plus little things like detailed descriptions of communications and all other subsystems?

The 5 Eyes countries have only the most restricted access to our intelligence. I don't believe we've gone into the business of discussing with them how we get it, analyze it and correlate it. 

Do these idiots remember that Turkey was on the distribution list for F-35s but then got thrown out of the program because it started buying Russian air defense systems? Turkey is a NATO ally but I wouldn't share routine State Department cables with them and only an idiot would think that anything of interest to ISIS, Iran, Iraq or Russia doesn't immediately find its way to them via "trusted agents" in the Turkish government and armed forces.

I'm scratching my head wondering just who these idiots think will make a positive contribution to the design, development, construction and deployment of satellites built to defend this country.

VINCIBLE IGNORANCE AND STUPIDITY

 It appears that the Jews forgot they have an existential enemy who wants all of them dead and gone. You’d think they’d know better by now but the majority appear to be unbelievably simple and naive and will themselves to believe that a peace with the people inhabiting Gaza and the West Bank is possible. You see the same delightful stupidity everywhere.

More than 8 million invaders crossed into America since the democrats stole the presidency and opened the floodgates to our blood enemies who probably sent more than a million military aged males to take up any impromptu weapons that come to hand and kill as many of us as they can. They’re using cars and trucks and knives and guns and tons of fentanyl. They have already killed hundreds of thousands.

The Israelis grew placid at every level and in every ministry and they all failed 100% just like those cretins running our dumbasshit Defense Department who gave us 20 years of war and shocking waste that all amounted to nothing but creating hundreds of thousands of people who hate America to death.

The Koreans living in the ROK better undertake some deadly serious war games and mobilization games to see if they could withstand a full scale attack all along the DMZ with the all out bombardment of the GSMA and Inchon. If they’re honest I don’t think they’ll be pleased with the results.

Ahhhh, and now I see Hezbollah has started shelling Israeli positions in the Golden Heights.

The whole world appears to be going mad and has a completely brain dead lunatic as the leader of the Western world ably supported by the communists in Germany, socialists in Western Europe and utterly useless international institutions of control that were gutted by the West over the last 50 years and which are about as useful as the elected leadership in San Francisco, Portland and Chicago.

I write this sitting in the DV quarters at a former SAC base and sad to say, just learned on the way back in to the base from getting dinner that there are no bombers at all here. I wonder where they went……

 Remember the Mariel Boatlift when Fidel Castro flushed all of his horrible criminals out of his jails and put them on boats to Florida? Imagine all of Central and South America bussing their hundreds of thousands of horrible criminals and shoving them over the borders in Texas, New Mexico and California. They’re probably putting together huge trains for the criminals now since our border is wide open.

Thanks Democrats.

ISNT THAT JUST TYPICAL

 The idiot governor of a state with 40,000,000 people in it could not find even one qualified person to stuff into Feinstein’s job in the Senate and had to crawl all the way to Maryland to find a black lesbian to take her natural place in the Senate. Truly desperate times. This is another one of those absurd unbelievable things about California. You know, right up with tossing out the Speaker of the House, another California loser on the same day….

DEMOCRAT SENATOR FEINSTEIN DEAD

 So, the burning question now is, will she run for re-election and win fairly or will Newsom and the Swamp compel the Kamal to assume the honors and dignity of the office of the junior senator from California and clear the deck for Biden to appoint Newsom as Vice President before tripping and eviscerating himself on a sharpened ice cream cone? It’s going to be a hard sell since the new job doesn’t come with a house, she no longer gets to vote to control in the Senate and she hasn’t stolen enough or gotten enough lucrative bribes to be able to afford a nice house. On the other hand, the Obamas have a house they don’t use much that they could nobly offer to the new light worker.

It’s waiting with bated breath we are for the democratic process to run its predetermined course. Once again Americans rush to the polls to vote for their elected Senator and vice president. We really do live in a banana republic.

THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT

 Imagine a world today where Hitler did not declare war on the United States 4 days after the attack at Pearl Harbor and where the United States alone had to face off against the Empire of Japan and wage a war but only in the Pacific. I think that war might have been ended much sooner and before we got around to building atomic weapons but how would Europe have gotten along without the entry of the United States and its Germany is the first order of business which put fighting Japan on the back burner of policy and war?

I doubt Mussolini would have declared war on the United States if Hitler did not and I doubt England would have survived another 6 months without the United States shifting to full war production and entering the war beside them. That would have been difficult to do without some fancy Washington double talk about the need to destroy all the "bad guys". 

If England fell there would be no possibility of any kind of Normandy invasion and things might have gone to the nuclear dickens much later in the 1950s.  Hitler short circuited an atomic war in Europe because of the completely insane advice he was given and acted on when he declared war on the United States on 11 December. On that note I cannot help but notice that Biden has decided to furnish long-range precision ATACMS to Ukraine so they can strike targets deep in Russia directly with American furnished long range missiles. 

And you thought Hitler was crazy....

I've heard that Putin and his Foreign Minister offered the Tyrant of North Korea some help building and fielding inter-continental ballistic missiles, a little feat that the Norks have been having some trouble with. I wonder if they'll figure out fractional orbital bombardment.

You really gotta hand it to those State Department cretins we have running things alongside their fellow Harvard alums in the CIA. You can't get a shinier stupider bunch of nuclear war planners and profiteers if you tried.

LOOKING FOR A NEW T-SHIRT

 I need one that spells out a new message that I'm unlikely to find just anywhere. I think I can get away with the words alone but if not I may tack on a few symbols for the symbolism and symbolic.

"white supremacist, homophobic, classist, ableist, xenophobic, transphobic, misogynistic member of the capitalist patriarchy"

 Willing to mansplain any of the above if offered coffee

I think it would be helpful for those who feel oppressed but rarely, if ever, get to meet one of us in person. I'm sure it would make their day!

THE NEW IMPROVED RACISM

 Evidently racism has gotten so darned smart and tricky that Institutes of Anti-racism have to be set up and fully funded by corporate morons in order to anti-something to death. It does beg the question though, how can you be "anti-racist" without, you know, being racist? I suppose those clever dicks in liberal universities are filled with quaint notions about racism that would, to those of us who are ignorant and uninformed, appear to be ignorant and ill-informed. I doubt we're wrong.

From my reading today it appears that the bloom may finally be falling off global warming, netzero idiocy and the other things that defy belief and can only have been accepted on blind and stupid faith in our 'elites'. We should come up with something really awful for those guys.

ON HISTORICAL IGNORANCE

 Long before the Germans came knocking on Ukraine's steppe the Russian commissars poured through the land and took every scrap of food they could find and shipped it back to Russia. Over 6 million Ukrainians were starved to death by the Russians. When the Germans came and it was clear that they meant to invade Russia and topple Stalin and all his works it is not unnatural that they found many like minded Ukrainians. The same thing happened all along the Soviet frontier as Eastern Europeans found it convenient to tear off a piece of Russia given how much Russians had torn away from them. It also happened in the north where the Finns didn't hesitate to side with the Germans in the Continuation War. Like Eastern Europe, it cost them dearly after the war.

The nonsense about recognizing a Ukrainian man for fighting the Soviet Union in World War II with the only means he had and now holding him up as some kind of nazi is not remotely humorous. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. The Soviet Union made themselves the enemy of man and God.

It may be better to remember all of the past and not just cherry pick the parts we like. Some wars and enemies need to be fought and the weaker side cannot always be choosy about the means used to do it.
