THE POTOMAC VALLEY OF SHADOW AND EVIL

That they disport themselves in glee and intemperance as they await the sure and certain smiting of the one nominated by the Trump is apparent to even the most casual viewer and yet I wonder how they can be so dismissive of a man with a record unblemished for all of his life until this moment when on the cusp of appointment to the highest office in the land he is laid low by some foul orc from Palo Alto who practises every form of witchcraft and debauchery known to such low fiends from hell and who is, on the face of it, a fabulist of the worst sort.

That sentence was for you Buck. I think it beats my old record by quite a few words.

I  honestly don't understand the democrats of my acquaintance, friends of mine, who cannot contain their glee at the destruction of a man by a simple and single accusation from the remote past launched by a die-hard enemy of the right and the good and who holds integrity so lightly that they will cast it from them like a red hot shot rather than abide the touch of truth. You ever wonder how the whole Salem Witch Trials came about back in the Dark Ages? Wonder no more. You get to watch a full 42% of America wrap itself around self-righteous unctuous bile and lick it for the flavor that's in it because they hate Trump so much they would willingly wield the knife that sacrificed their own first born if they could by that slash terminate a good man appointed by a man they hate and loath beyond all the bounds of reason.

SURVIVORS

Survivors of the latest school shooting call for tougher laws on murder and suggest we just cull anybody who murders any other human. They are torn by dissension as they weigh certain aspects of their new found belief in the sanctity of human life and find it wanting.

[No they don't. As usual they think the gun is the problem]

I see the cops have finally showed up at the house the killer lived in there at the end before he was kicked out by the owner because the owner made it clear that he could stay but not the gun. The cops have hauled off the younger brother and stuffed him into a mental health unit to undergo treatment or analysis or whatever makes them feel good about utterly failing to do anything at all at any of the previous 39 times they were called out to the killer's abode.

If this counts as a macro-aggression, surely some counseling along the lines proposed for every damned micro-aggression would solve the problem, right? Therapy cures everything bad or so I'm informed by the liberal media who also seem to believe unreservedly in pay discrimination, sexual abuse, gender confusion and gun control.

I'm not quite to the point where the democrats are who are actively looking for better voters/better Americans, but I'm getting closer. I'll bet $5 that not one of those kids have ever even heard of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights under which this country has prevailed for so long. Maybe if they were ever taught that they were accountable for their actions and not the doctors who failed to prescribe the right sedatives.... Perhaps we need a special emphasis with its own bus for civics. A simple easy course; learn American civics and government or we throw you under the bus.

A SHORT MARTIAN DRIVE

SMALL DESERTS

It seems that a tiny handful of American blacks are settling down in Africa. I read the story and the money quote was hard to believe.

Contrast with a completely different type of human who once had a simple aim for life and death. People who used to seize fate by the horns and dare it to dash them to pieces; people who built the great countries and empires.

 "He either fears his fate too much, 

Or his desserts are small, 

Who dares not put it to the touch, 

To win or lose it all.

It is hard for me to comprehend settling down in the darkness because I feared the law. Darkness hides many crimes. How do they know that the police are not killing others in the dark? The article was filled with people who dislike the perceived racism in America but are totally and abysmally ignorant of the lethal tribalism in Africa. They never heard of the massacre in Rwanda and election violence in Kenya and Biafra and Uganda and Congo is a closed book to them sitting there in the dark, in Dacca.

A NICE PLACE

I spent a day here once and enjoyed just walking around.

A WINTER STORM ON A 3 DAY WEEKEND

My it's been an interesting week. I can't think of anything to say that hasn't been said. I'll have to think about it some more and get back to this later. Perhaps I'll check out what's on the news or take a look at what our older and wiser European cousins are doing these day to take such good care of the planet and all the little people who keep electing presidents and prime ministers more dedicated and devoted to the welfare and benefit of Africans and muslim terrorists then they are to the subjects and citizens who elected them. It's hard watching western Europe turn into Detroit right in front of my eyes.

THE REAL DEPLORABLES

The UN voted today to kick America's figurative butt because they don't like us. Our ambassador warned them that there would be consequences to any sort of administrative and figurative butt kicking and a number of our friends and allies and other diseased loathsome hellholes that vote in the UN elected to ignore a very pointed warning.

Those marked in green prefer terrorists to America

I'm optimistic by nature so I expect to see the anti-Trump forces of darkness rally their troops to continue to fund 35% of the UNRWA  effort that aids the PLO and Hammas when the President drops that line item from the budget next year and when he slashes our contribution to the United Nations. I'll be fascinated to see which of the Democrats stands tall and denounces President Trump for cutting funding for terrorists who live in and around Gaza and the West Bank. Why not spend that money on our kids here in America?

The UN was given many chances over the decades to prove itself and it has proven to be corrupt, incompetent and venal beyond belief. I don't think anyone will miss it when it goes the way of the League of Nations which, come to think of it, is just about where it stands now in terms of utility, function or purpose.

As for the crappy little hellholes that voted to kick ole Uncle Sam? I expect the President is going to zero your funding too. You really should have listened because so far President Trump has been doing what he said he would do.

PARADISE ON THE GERMAN PLAIN

When the snow lays around all cold and frozen, wouldn't it be nice to have one of these nearby?



It's hard to believe the Soviet Union left something nice in its wake. I think this might be the first time.

THE VERY BEST FAKE NEWS

We shall see.

Mind you, as a Knight Bachelor of Solana Beach, I used to buy the Sunday version for $5.00 at my local book shop and read it at the Stratford cafe. I read it from cover to cover and thought about 30% was worth it, for the book review that was in it. Nowadays, if I get linked to any article with the Times logo at the top, I simply stop and delete. They parted company with real news, real facts, real issues in 1917, but I'm a stayer.

Not so much anymore. If I see that fancy little T at the top, I stop. It doesn't make me angry but it is just like AP. If I want to read a story where all the facts are left out, I can read Ellery Queen.

If you look at the photo shot, can you imagine, how President Trump plays these guys like a master guitarist?

Yeah, they don't get that either.

FOUND HER

Crossed a continent to find her and did. I'm unbelievably lucky.

SPOT THE FASCIST

This is an easy exercise for civilization. See if you can spot the fascist.

EUROPE WAS WORTH SEEING

Europe was once a place defined by the characters that lived in those little quaint places like England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Spain, Portugal but I don't think I want to visit Western Syria or New Africa. I've been to the middle east and to Africa and I don't ever plan to go there again. If I want to meet surly thugs and muggers I can just cross Van Aken. I don't have to travel thousands of miles to get mugged, mangled, vandalized etc.

I have a great deal of admiration for Poland and Hungary. They aim to keep their place theirs. They see what is happening in Scandanavia and unlike Norwegians, they can learn from the mistakes of others. Admittedly, I think they pawned off all their gypsies on England but the English are tedious to a fault and the gypsies will provide good training material for dealing with the Africans and mujadeen to come.

If you haven't squeezed Europe into your 'todo' list yet, now would be the time. You want to see it before it becomes Mombasa, Beirut or Kinshasa.

THE CORRIDOR OF FIRE

This is an interesting loop of the corridor of fire. In the nuclear war which hasn't happened, the brightest lights were going to infinitely brighter for a series of instant and then darken to nothing at all once the fires burned out. It makes it easier to visualize when seen at night. Very glad it didn't happen.

THANK JEEEBUS AGAIN!!!

I'm rather surprised the cops didn't load him up and then tell us he died of lead poisoning. Yeah, he is insane, could it possibly have hurt anyone to play the damned song? Here, I'll do it.

Oh, never mind. I mean, it's OK if you want to get your ears clipped and sandblast your brain. Good on ya! Me? Not going to pollute the tubes with that. I thought it was a tune like I play around here and I'm a connoisseur. I don't just play any random crap. I have to hunt it down and kill it thoroughly and then do some data reduction, post analysis, and see if it is still space-worthy before I play a tune here. Rules are rules,

I USED TO HEAR ABOUT SWIMLANES

I swam as a child and garnered many a 3rd place ribbon. I sailed when I was older. Sailing offered trophies and medals and not ribbons. I don't know what afflicts this boy but I find it interesting that our president offered to help even after the European Court said no.

There was an argument about Iraq and Afghanistn that we broke it by fighting in it. I think they were pretty broken to begin with. We kind of did that in Europe the second time because the first World War was just a training war. We thought we kind of fixed Europe with NATO. I'm not so sure. The whole, "you broke it and now must pay" is kind of over. I accept that some things are simply not fixable and we are not liable for damages.

What kind of court system denies a family the right to take their child home? I'd sign up to fight it with lethal intent and weapons of mass destruction.

IS BRITAIN A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY

I wonder because I read the poorly written UK Daily Mail which stopped proofreading its headlines or articles ages ago but still carries the news of the kingdom. On Saturday night, while reading about the enormous crowds stranded at Heathrow this weekend, I reflected on how low the British have sunk.

The shadow PM and his shadow Defense Minister both love the IRA and won't hear a word against the atrocities carried out by the IRA as they bombed and murdered their way through much of Britain and some of Ireland. The Labor Party don't care. They don't give a damn because they're really hardline communists and you cannot make an omelette without gassing or murdering 200,000 kulaks.

British Air went into a complete software meltdown as the weekend started and the staff all promptly went home at the end of working hours. Probably because BA is owned by a Spanish company and they could lose their jobs for working unsanctioned overtime.

Incredibly dangerous, scary, easily identifiable anti-British, anti-western scumbags known to the police, can blow up and murder just as many people as they want and the ruling class don't care. They don't give a shit.

Incredibly dangerous, scary, easily identifiable anti-British, anti-western scumbags known to the police, can groom, rape and murder little girls all over England and the ruling class don't care. They don't give a shit.

An insane, murderous bunch of thugs, known to the police, can murder a British Army soldier in the high street and the ruling class don't care. They don't give a shit.

One can say all the same exact things about the vicious circle of scum ruling classes in Scandanavia, Germany and the rest of the world that have all decided that the rights of murderers and vicious scumbags are greater than yours.

Remember when it was "We the People" and the blessings to ourselves meant us and those like us?

The very first thing the left did was weaponize the law against the citizen. The police and the law really and truly are there to protect the criminals from me and you. Fake news, Fake political parties and Fake justice.

Fakery seems to be on the rise all around the world. Too bad for the world. As I believe I said, a time or two, you better arm yourself. The 'ruling class' in Britain have forbidden the subjects to arm themselves. "Leave it to the police!" Britain heads down the same sewer as the rest of occupied Europe.

I always liked Britain and Scotland and Wales. C'est la guerre. We shall not see their like again. That was the interesting proposition put forth by an author who wondered one day if the Industrial Revolution could have come from any other people or place and his answer was pretty much, no. When you think about it, all that was needful was there for the Egyptians, the Greeks, the Chinese, the Romans.....Only one place and people (plus Dutch) pulled it off.

THIS WAS JUST FUNNY

THEY DON'T MATTER TO ME

There are some people who are so vile and obnoxious you want to hit them very hard with a stick. They go by many names these days and it seems they change their collective call sign every few years because it tarnishes so very quickly and loses its luster and needs to swapped out with a shiny new one that improves the self image and disguises the fact that nothing at all has changed.

It's a wonder to me that they seem to think that stepping out into the middle of the road, at night, to 'block traffic' in the name of their chosen cause which, as I understand it, is unbridled support for looters, vandals, murderers, thieves, cutthroats, murderers and pretty much anybody who shares their single dominant characteristic, is a wise and carefully thought out move to signify their oppression and call attention to the fact that their lives matter. I'm not sure they've thought it through though since stepping into the path of fast moving cars is generally a significant indicator that your life doesn't matter to you so why would it matter to me?

I'm kind of tired of the hate and racism and the violence and the vandalism and the shouting and screaming that drowns out civilized voices. If they keep pissing people off for no reason at all they're going to need those 'safe spaces' they so crave.

JOHN GLENN

Has stepped into the clearing at the end of the path. He was the last of America's first. All of them shared a sense of humor. The world is lesser for their passing.

IT WAS JUST A MATTER OF TIME

Women are leaping out of the attic to accuse a billionaire of 'touching' them and maybe even molesting them. The stories appear to be decades old and I'll be honest, even if I accept them as true stories there was the face slap. Where was the face slap? Srsly, this almost tempts me to go and lay my hands on attractive girls other than my pirates. OK, I'd do it if I wanted to die. Ohio is a well armed State and they'd likely blow my head off, particularly with the really bad haircut I got 2 days ago. I wouldn't blame them for shooting.*

Over and above all things I hate is the he said/she said decades later. It's impossible to refute. It's impossible to prove. It just hangs out there as the kind of thing that makes thought crime a real thing.

IT'S NOT!

*I only have the two pirates these days and the little one just moved to Olympia. She's the one I used to toss to the sharks.
