I HATE NEW YORK

GUILTY? GUILTY OF WHAT?

The jurors found Maxwell guilty of 6 of 7 charges laid against her for procuring underage girls. Obviously she didn't procure them for herself so now we come to the moment of truth. That's right, now the Law and Courts will delve into the issue of just who she was procuring little girls for and bring these criminals of civilization to justice. I am sure that all the evidence amassed at the trials and the grand juries for both her case and Epstein's will be used by the lawyers to round up all the pedophiles who took advantage of those poor underage girls. Right? And of course she is an actual living eye witness able to testify against the pedophiles so they don't stand a chance in court.

And Epstein still didn’t kill himself.

EVER THE OPTIMIST

I don't for one second think that there are 81 million democrats stupid enough to vote for Biden. Clearly, they stole the election in an affront to real democracy. It is no longer funny though how in-the-bag the media are for Biden and Obama/billionaire corruption at every level in the Executive branch.

SOME LIGHT READING

Your attention is invited to two recent articles. I found them interesting and thought provoking.
Patriotic Duty and
Redstate And the rule of law.

Read them yourself and see what 'grave damage' to national security of this country really looks like these days.

HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS

I join just about everyone in wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I hope that you all can share it with friends and family and a truly wonderful feast that leaves everyone in a solidly happy mood for the rest of the year. A good meal can do that. I know some writers that can write about that one feast of a lifetime many years after they consumed it and it is little now but a memory.

I CAN HEAR THIS MANIACAL LAUGHTER

I'm afraid that this comes as absolutely no surprise. The Russians were begged most sincerely by all the governments of the West to do this thing to Germany and the rest of the Western Europeans and anybody but a complete nitwit or democrat saw the writing on the wall when Texas froze over a couple of months ago when the idiotic renewable energy scam revealed itself to be nothing but a monumental scam on a continental scale.

Deliveries of Russian natural gas to Germany through the Yamal-Europe pipeline have been completely halted, data from the country’s transport operator, Gascade, revealed on Tuesday morning. The suspension of the flow comes after a weekend in which the volume being sent through the network dropped significantly, just as demand for energy in both Russia and the rest of Europe reached its winter peak. On Monday, it was reported that state-owned giant Gazprom, the system’s operator in Russia and Belarus, had booked no capacity at all for transiting natural gas on Tuesday.
The Yamal-Europe transnational gas pipeline runs from northwest Siberia to Frankfurt-an-der-Oder in eastern Germany via Belarus and Poland. Last year, around one-fifth of all natural gas sent to Western Europe went via Belarus. Energy supplies through the system vary based on consumption, including within Russia, which Gazprom prioritizes over sending fuel abroad. Temperatures have plummeted in Moscow and other large Russian cities this week.

European gas prices surge. Flows through the pipeline dropped to 6% of capacity on Saturday and 5% on Sunday, before eventually falling to zero on Tuesday morning. Due to the winter cold and the restricted supply, European energy prices have soared.
Officials in the West have accused Moscow of playing politics with the supply of gas to the rest of Europe, allegedly with the aim of forcing the EU to approve the controversial Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which is yet to be certified, but is ready to operate. The Kremlin has repeatedly denied these allegations, with Gazprom noting that it continues to fulfill its contracts.

It honestly makes me laugh out loud to read these things now. Sadly, this is a lesson we ourselves learned by inflicting crippling industry destroying sanctions on Japan before WWII which caused them to come to view us as the enemy. Unfortunately we have a full generation of military generals and admirals who think they know how to fight an all out war against a near peer adversary but I don't think they have been paying attention to the news over the last 20 years. Russia is a startlingly well armed, well equipped and professional military these days and has weapons that don't just rival our own, they're, in some cases, way better than ours and have been for 20 years or so.

I can only imagine what a REturn of FORces to GERmany (REFORGER) would look like if we tried to pull it off in the next 6 months. It can't happen any faster than that and based on the kind of military stupidity on display so conspicuously in Afghanistan as we ran away it is likely to be magnitudes of disaster worse than you can imagine. The ships aren't there, the Divisions and troops don't exist anymore and the weapons suck, are in short supply or low on ammunition and munitions.

I don't think those NATO dullards realize just how totally alone, unarmed and unafraid they are. They're too stupid to know fear and too ignorant to admit that they don't have any armies worthy of the name and only about 1% of their putative male population is in any kind of shape to fight a war that will involve colossal defeats before it ever begins to shade towards victory, if it ever does. President Trump tried to point out to them how naked they were and they did not hear him. Too late now. You know that thing you keep hearing about supply chain difficulties? Most of the components (the little high tech ones) are only made in communist China and only there for about 30 years now. You thought getting your new F150 truck was backed up? Think about putting in an order to China for the components we need to build missiles, radars, seekers, satellites, artillery fuses. Little things like that that aren't made in America anymore.

I don't really expect any fighting. It's not in Western Europeans to fight for anything anymore. Honor is as dead to them as the Holy Roman Empire and nationalism is a filthy dirty word fit only for far right thugboys and they hates them.

Interesting times.... I'd feel some sympathy for the Ukrainians but they really need to learn something from a thousand years of history, don't they? Nobody never said nothing bout not poking the bear with a stick? Really?

STILL NOT WORTH IT

I was reading a column elsewhere by Sister Toldjah and I was directed to an ad for a birdcage liner of some note. As I said, it's still not worth buying at any price:

If your aim is to read fiction and make believe stories read a book.

A LOCAL HERO

I knew about this statue by the Museum of Art but in the back away from the hurly burly that so clogs the single winter entrance to the building. To be honest, it's actually the old front doors to the musem which are barred in winter.

I refer to him as a local but I don't think he ever stepped foot west of the Ohio and never visited the 500 acre land grant that Congress awarded him after his service during the Revolution. It was located a little south of here in Dublin, Ohio. Still it was worth the walk to get to see the monument that the Poles of Cleveland erected in 1905 to a hero of both Poland and the U.S.

He had a quirk he got from somewhere when he was young and never lost it. You can see it here in the letter he wrote to his friend Thomas Jefferson.

I think he was an incurable optimist. On the other hand, although he tried and tried, he was never married. Still, I think it would be nice if we still educated our young citizens as he asked his friend to see to the education of those he would set free.

AN INFINITE SERIES

If you have not read this article at American Thinker, you should. It states something that is profoundly true and yet is as ignored by media and the public as those poor American citizens languishing in the DC gulag for 11 months now without bail waiting for trials for strolling about the Capitol while the monsters who burned down the core of a number of cities and destroyed hundreds of businesses and buildings roam around free and unsought and unmolested by law enforcement.

Then there was this from Cantor's War by Anvil from long ago.

"That's better yet. Then Binder gets to explain how a Recognized Authority In The Field could make a mistake."
"Is that so impossible?"
"For Binder it is. Binder is solid for Authority. Put him in the Middle Ages and he'd chop Gallileo's head off in a minute for arguing that a heavy weight and a light weight fall at the same speed when Aristotle said otherwise. How you can have a Believer in either mathematics or science beats me, but the bigger a field gets, the more of them migrate in and set up shop."

Essentia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem.

We find the same mindset has completely taken over the Schools of Education around the world where the Recognized Authority happens to be Marx and strucutral racism of the first order is the mandatory path to educational and societal success.

Still more do we find it in the Global Warming scam where the science is practically non-existant and nobody cares or even points it out to the foolish believers anymore because, what's the point. You can't educate stupid indoctrinated peasants and history has shown this repeatedly through the ages. Did you ever wonder why all successful revolutions throughout history were led by the educated elites who had gained knowledge and wisdom from reading the works of the people that came before? A simple dive into the history of our Revolution will suffice to show how the men who led it were the best thinkers of their generation on either side of the Atlantic. What happened in France was inspired by our Revolution and if you read the revolutionary histories of other places from Vietnam to the Middle East you see the same sort of pattern. It's only when you look at the failed states and failed revolutions that you see from the men leading them that they were doomed to failure at the outset.

I wonder which one of our Embassies will be overrun and occupied next year. I'm thinking one of the 'stans.

ABOUT THAT LEAK

I just like this one. These 2 are pretty funny and spot on.

SADLY TRUE

Ripped off from Ace of Spades.

This rings a bell. It is fascinating to watch the world turning into good little NAZIs overnight and not from some fear of the cunning or dangerous enemy but over a bug that is slightly more dangerous than the flu. No wonder il Duce, Franco, Peron, Hitler and Stalin got their worlds to dance to their tune. They provided the score, the music, the musicians and a nice utterly harmless enemy that could be overwhelmed by Karens and others who want to feel good about oppressing other people.

NOT THAT SMART

The former Chief of Staff for President Trump's White House has decided to end cooperation with the Committee for Public Safety and has invited them to bring out the guillotine. It is hard to understand why anybody would cooperate with that band of terrorists and dipshits but he was going to up until this afternoon when he changed his mind. I don't get it. All any of them has to do is pull the Hillary over the eyes of the Committee for Public Safety like she did and claim that they have no memory of that or this or the other thing and cannot recall who was there, when it happened, where they were at the time, etc. It worked for all the democrats we wondered about after little dustups like Hillary's hard drives and phones getting bleached and smashed to bits, and her COS joining the investigation of her as her lawyer and given total immunity by the FBI and DOJ and of course the whole, where the Hell was Obama when we were air raiding Libya and our Ambassador to the place was murdered along with 4 other Americans on the anniversary of 9/11 by some of the most heavily armed terrorists outside Gaza.

It's so easy a democrat can do it for Christ's sake.

WHICH LAWYER WILL SHE SHOOT?

THE BOOK OF CURT

I drop off and pick up my better half everyday and deliver her to the door since for some reason the university feels approximately the same way about the Americans With Disabilities Act as Democrats feel about integrity. They hates it.

"I gained a whole new appreciation for pedestrians after I started driving on the sidewalk."

IT WAS CALLED THE BELKNAP MOD

This is for the earlier post. The men who fought that fire, were real sailors, like most of the rest of them. These things happen and we train to make it something you sail away from, lives intact.

HOW I GOT A CELL PHONE

I was an expectant dad and thought it would be nice of me to appear around the same time Scooter did. It had to work in Canada because my job had me there for some time buying boats for the navy. I'm looking at alternative services to Verizon who bills me every week or two and it suddenly struck me. I no longer need or want a cell phone. I spent most of my life not answering phones and I can do it again. It is funny to me how Verizon has been diminishing their service to me to the point where it takes an hour or two to load a map. I'm not that guy in front of you on the plane landing in Las Vegas who instantaneously downloads 57 videos from his pals and streams them as he walks off the plane. Funny, Verizon turned my face away from cell phones despite all their attempts to get me to buy a thousand dollar phone.

ND

I know there are a lot of people carrying. I never hear of ND from those guys. Cops, they lose guns and mistakenly shoot them all the time but the general pop, carrying, I never hear about them. Perhaps they carry like I would and don't have a round in the spout. Difficult to to with semi-automatics.

THE TURBO

Because someone never saw it before.

CANCEL

I've decided that this blog must cancel racists so fuck off BLM. I've also decided that this blog is canceling woke. So fuck off woke. The world would be better off without global waming losers, so fuck off global warming losers. Try to read outside of the box you stupid fucking lemmings. Every single thing you believe is garbage.

100% OF THE LEFT ARE BARKING MAD

To see and witness the left's complete derangement over the Rittenhouse trial is mind boggling. Yeah, the kid will need to legally change his name in order to get on with his life but the media and the left have just gone insane. I think my favorite passages from my Race have been,

Wake up you woke SOBs. You going all violent and vicious isn't a free pass anymore because now you get to embrace martyrdom. They don't like that. That hurts. I think the days of them hurling insults with megaphones while the sheep look up are just about over. The days of looting, burning and attacking are also probably coming to an end. OTGH, I still get a kick out of the BLM wormtongue claiming that Kyle Rittenhouse and the rest of us supremacists attacked peaceful BLM losers and "THEIR ALLIES." You have to be all kinds of stupid to claim arsonists and pedaphiles as your allies.

Oh and yeah, my race? The race of reason, of course. Oddly enough, Allen Dean Foster captured it very well in one of his books; Bloodhype, as I recall.

It is time to stand up and be counted. On the Other Gripping Hand, I took a look at the numbers on my street here in metroparkcentralis and it looks pretty bad for my team. My street is 91% registered democrat and just 9% rethuglican. 6% of us didn't vote in the latest election. They keep ducedly good records of that sort of thing here in the metropark. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure I know who owns 99% of the weapons on this street.

IN THE AIR

Ever since I lived on an Air Force base my eye has been drawn to the sky when I see an airplane flying overhead. Today, as I returned from the west side on I-90 I saw what looked very much like a fighter jet making an approach to Burke Lakefront Airport and sure enough as I was heading east at 65 mph he was heading into a missed approach or go around heading west at 180 mph. When he broke to starboard and headed out over the lake for the go around I could see the solid blue body that only the Blue Angels flaunt and as he made his final approach I could see it was #7. When I got home I did some online searching and found that they were in town to coordinate the Blue Angels first return to Metropark Centralis since 2018.

I kind of miss driving up 163 or I-15 and I-5 and watching the F-18s and their predecssors flying overhead. The A-7s vanished even while I was at Selfridge Air National Guard Base. They used to come in so low over the golf course I thought I could hit them with a chip shot. The same thing almost at NASNI where one crosses the road over to the beach holes at Sea & Air and finds signs that warn of low flying aircraft and recommend cars stop and let them pass as everything comes together right where the runway begins and the aircraft are given an opportunity to merge with auto traffic.

Next year and it's going to be super hornets.

VICE PRESIDENTIAL NEWS

There are rumors swirling around the sewer called Washington DC that Kamala Harris is out as Vice President and Barack Obamam will be nominated for the office and confirmed by the Senate later this week. Once he's in he will quickly shuffle the brain dead Resident off to a nice covid free rest home and assume his rightful office as head of the Empire.

I'm keeping my eye on things just to see how this comes about.

Oh, OK, I just made it up.

THEY'LL KILL FOR ASYLUM IN EUROPE

It's really kind of funny watching the europeans go nuts trying to rewrap the leprosy known as illegal forced migrations and muzzle the beast they created all by themselves through the powerful office of the Chancellor of Germany. Now the Poles are using water cannons and gas on the invaders attacking their western border. The invaders are now throwing rocks and cutting the fences in order to make the Poles and europeans take them serious as just poor harmless little refugees from Syria, Afghanistan, Lebanon and every other place muslims have turned into Hell on earth.

And of course, we have our new Chancellor of Germany running things in the White House. I'm not sure what that guy's names are but it is clearly an invasion orchestrated by the White House and the democrats in Congress. They are letting the invaders in and oddly enough, many of them are coming from the Hells on Earth they created in the middle east and in Latin America and now they want to bring it to America.

WINTER BEGINS HERE

RANGE INTERFERENCE

I keep seeing Bezos and Blue Origin trying to screw up space flight and SpaceX. They've tried the law and been shot down and now they're teaming with NASA to keep anyone from landing on the moon until NASA and their monstrosity are ready for prime time in 2025, maybe, if all goes well although it doesn't sound like anybody has worked any of the bugs out of the lunar return module.

I guess I'm kind of surprised Bezos hasn't taken to parking random ships in the downrange capture basket for SpaceX rockets landing on the drone barge 325 miles downrange from Cape Canaveral. I remember something as simple at shooting at San Clemente Island was often made difficult by the morons that decided to fish in the closed waters on the south end of the island. My concern for them was best expressed by me proposing to use High Explosive Control Variable Time 5 inch frag rounds to clear the range. I figured a few airburst around them would send them on their way quite quickly, one way or the other.

I don't know what kind of stand off clearance SpaceX needs to have around Bob, their drone ship when it is in capture mode but I also don't know how they clear the interference out there if and when people get inside the safety distance. Since we're talking Elon Musk, it wouldn't surprise me if he has a pirate submarine out there to warn off or just sink boats that interfere with Starlink and other missions into orbit.
