The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition
For instance, when going into an elevator with a burly man whose eyes look feral (you’ll know it when you see it, trust me) you might feel a pang of fear. But if you’re a well brought up woman and particularly if the man is another race you might not want to show it. After all you’re not a racist, right? But what you actually should be asking yourself is: Should I die because I don’t want to be impolite? Sure what you’re picking up on might be prejudiced. Or just paranoid. Sure, maybe you’re reacting to this guy because his clothes are old, and he’s a different race. But maybe not.I am fascinated by the Left's insistence on rejecting nationalism and tribalism and all of the other perfectly normal and natural tendencies that man has had since he became Man. And obviously well before that as proto-humans. History teaches us that tamping down the unquenchable desire to be around people like us is a recipe for very bad things. We have discussed this in the past, and of course the excellent recent example of Yugoslavia comes to everyone's minds, but there are dozens of examples in any history book if the progressives would just bother to read one or two. Yeah, that won't happen, because THIS TIME they will get it right! Is it the loss of the instinct for self-preservation? How can that be? Have we finally selected against the very thing that created us? Looking at photographs of progressive crowds gives me the distinct impression that it's more than just lack of self-preservation...it's probably a subliminal distaste for the blue-haired tatted chick with the gut and the piercings, and an instinctual sense that the effete, man-bun-wearing, skinny-jeans dude with the whispy adolescent beard is not going to confer robust genes on your offspring. Maybe there is a more powerful societal self-preservation that prevents these types from breeding too much!

having just read the story from the morning report about the Ohio thugs rioting against the gun girl, i have to admit their stupidity is brazen.
Personally, if someone is a massive supporter of the 2nd amendment, while i would chant and protest said person if i disagreed with them, i would be very cautious against making sure that they were never in danger or felt for their life.
that would be close to a reason for extra ventilation.

Is that one of the major differences between the Modern Left and Modern Right?
The Left is trying to remake Man, in their own image. The Right is trying to make society better FOR Man?
From Women's Rights, to the Gay Agenda, to bathrooms, to no fighting in school.
Every single thing on the Left's agenda is trying to remake some fundamental aspects of Human Nature.
The very nature that either God or Nature bred into over the last couple 100 thousand years.
The very nature that let us thrive as a species, and dominate all others.

Posted by: JackStraw at February 18, 2020 10:35 AM (ZLI7S)
This am on Sirius, David Webb had Doug Burns, former US Prosecutor on. Doug gave an excellent, concise explanation of how US Federal prosecutors do their job and included a description of their bias' . He also explained about the current laws regarding sentencing guidelines, dates of when those laws were enacted and reworked, and what he knows as to exactly why and the timeline of the sentencing proposals for Roger Stone.
Unfortunately, Webb doesn't have podcasts available of his current show. I can't find a transcript or even a place to listen to a recording of it.
Burn's said that the way the sentencing guidelines are currently constructed, their emphasis is on punishing people who dared to not plead guilty, but instead, demand a trial and evidence. Should they be found guilty, then the sentencing guidelines actually encourage prosecutors to go after steeper sentences, even though this is unconstitutional. And prosecutors love to show their muscle in showing the defendant they shouldn't have messed with them by pleading not guilty. It's still entirely up to the judge to determine a sentence. There was a lot of detail in what he was saying( he thinks the prosecutors were political hacks in this case, and demonstrated why politics in the DOJ is such a huge problem, one Barr is trying to resolve) as to how reviews of sentencing recommendations from the DOJ are conducted , etc.

That's shitty advice commonly given to women in those 1-hour self defense classes. Think about the size of the target, which will be moving by the way, the size of the weapon you're intending to use, and the intensely high stress of the situation. Your odds of hitting are vanishingly small. You'd be better off trying to gouge them with your thumbs than trying to land a precision hit with the point of a key.

The one lesson the GOP can learn, though (that Trump does a better job of), is that just treating everyone equally isn't enough. Just passing laws that benefit everyone, and being non-racist, isn't enough when the opposition is constantly calling you racist and saying they truly understand the oppression minorities feel and have experienced. Perception is reality, minorities were oppressed in our past, and the Dems have done a great job appearing to be champions of minorities, despite not actually caring or helping. They used to do the same with blue-collar union workers, but Republicans have started winning them not just by good policy, but active inclusion and outreach.
Trump's doing the same now with minority voters, and hopefully it'll pay off.

452 How they planned to reinstate the Obama deal without the support of the White House is...well, it doesn't make any sense at all. Not with Trump in office, at least.
Posted by: Mikey
I think that top Democrats, through their agent John Kerry, have been coordinating with Iran even since Trump took office. I think they encouraged Iran to make several minor provocations - shooting down the drone, mining tankers, attacking a refinery - in the belief that Trump would massively overreact and that could be used against him here at home. Wasn't it curious how all of those attacks were designed to be provocative, and yet shed no blood? But they didn't work, Trump didn't take the bait.
And THEN Suleimani decided he could do whatever he damn sure felt like doing, so he orchestrated the attack on the Embassy in Iraq, and then he got Blowed Up. BAM!!! How that must have pissed off Kerry to see his Good Friend and Negotiating Partner splattered that way!
and NOW dems don't know what to do, and neither do the Iranians. And Trump is laughing at them.

The forced mixing of various factions and heritages is a weapon of the globalists, intent on keeping us fighting each other. The SCOTUS case outlawed the quota system for colleges, but reinstated it as "diversity requirements".

No. He did not wreck himself. He was bumped on the left rear corner of his car by Ryan Blaney who was being pushed by Denny Hamlin . It's called bump drafting and is an integral and necessary part of restrictor plate racing. As Earnhardt used to say, it was "one of them racin deals". Newman tried to block ( again, part of racing and totally legal) Blaney and at 200 mph, split seconds can cause these kinds of wrecks.

Is there any song that makes you want to punch a hippie more than "Signs" by Five Man Electrical Band does? I don't mean a haymaker designed to knock his block off. I mean a smack or a pop with enough sting to make him say something so you can do it again.
That bit about, "I took off my hat and said, 'Imagine that!'," works only because it's ironic. What makes it ironic is the fact that long-haired, freaky people's willingness to flout community standards of grooming and dress usually indicate deeply seated problems that make them difficult employees.
Add in an unhealthy does of the fallacy of composition, and our popular entertainment depends so heavily on ironic twists that we are all stupider for it.

That program gave us the M203 grenade launcher. I used to tote one when I was in the Army. Got pretty good with it. Sadly we did not have flechette rounds for it.

Beehive 40mm flechette was available for the M79, but they were deemed ineffective soon after entering service in the Vietnam War and replaced with a buckshot round.

Pay attention to where you sit in public settings - restaurants, church, etc. Sit near the kitchen when at a restaurant. Why? It is an exit, plus it has some great weapons in there.
Church -- know where your exits are. Churches are horrible places to be when things get sporty. Do not overlook breaking stained glass as a viable exit strategy. God will forgive you for it - I promise.Find yourself in a dangerous spot -- stay in the fight. Never give up, even if you are hurt - stay in it. Fight like you are the 3rd monkey trying to get on Noah's Ark.

Not with a Bang" is a science fiction short story by American writer Damon Knight.
"Not with a Bang"
Synopsis Edit
The story is an ironic, Adam-and-Eve tale. Humanity has been wiped out by a nuclear war, except for one man and woman, who meet in a restaurant in Salt Lake City. The man suffers from a disease that causes recurrent episodes of total paralysis. While in the bathroom, he has an attack, and dies with the realization that the woman is too prudish to enter and save him.

Not in a 'diversity is our strength' kind of way, because it is, but in a 'unity is our actual strength, dumbass' kind of way. Unified conformity, within reason, is what holds cultures and nations together.
Tribalism or bulkanism, the tendency to bunker up into tiny communities that don't co-operate creates stagnation, weakness and the inability to deal with unified, motivated motherfuckers.

No. The signers are all former DOJ officials.
Lefty hysteria would have you think the entire DOJ is in revolt, same as they'd have you think all federal judges are about to stage some Constitutionally provisioned revolt because the "Federal Judges Association" had a meeting about the Stone sentencing "emergency."

impression that it's more than just lack of self-preservation...it's
probably a subliminal distaste for [them]
Or as RS McCain has identified it with deliberate ugliness of feminists, these progressive weirdos are displaying "aposematism":
The function of aposematism is to prevent attack, by warning potential
predators that the prey animal has defences such as being unpalatable or
poisonous. The easily detected warning is a primary defence mechanism,
and the non-visible defences are secondary. Aposematic signals are
primarily visual, using bright colours and high-contrast patterns such
as stripes.
In other words, it's not you, it's them broadcasting their own poisonessness.

Not with a Bang" is a science fiction short story by American writer Damon Knight.
"Not with a Bang"
Synopsis Edit
The story is an ironic, Adam-and-Eve tale. Humanity has been wiped out by a nuclear war, except for one man and woman, who meet in a restaurant in Salt Lake City. The man suffers from a disease that causes recurrent episodes of total paralysis. While in the bathroom, he has an attack, and dies with the realization that the woman is too prudish to enter and save him.

For sheer mind-blowingness, his "Ticket to Anywhere" is tops. Human explorers on an alien world discover that the indigenous race, which is long gone, didn't die: They left by means of a device like a Star Trek transporter, except that it can jump you hundreds of light years at a pop. And the lead character is inspired to follow the aliens' path to the stars.

Probably already mentioned? Gavin de Becker's "The Gift of Fear" book,
where he talks about how that gut feeling you get in a given
situation/interaction is based on your subconscious picking up on all
sorts of cues. Person is saying one thing but you are noticing 'tells'
such as erratic movements/gestures or demeanor that don;t match the
words, etc.
Bottom line: listen to your "gut"/unconscious alert
system telling you "Don't get near this person/crowd" vs. your conscious
attempting to override it with "I might offend them if I don;t welcome
them."

That's the thing about Satan a lot of people miss. He isn't angry and growly. That's for lesser creatures, like demons.
Satan was an angel. He deals in beauty and luxury. His offerings are tantalizing. He plays to your pride and tells you can change all of human civilization, and end war and poverty, if you just believe... or any number of other impossible dreams. Because you're special, you can be the one you were waiting for.
It's a lie, but it's a pretty lie a lot of people want to hear.

They sure as shit put me on the path. If it wasn't for them I might have been a drummer instead of guitar player. I was playing both, but was leaning towards drums. Then I heard the song Iron man while me and a friend happened to be raiding his older brother's album stash while he was away in the military. I heard those opening power chords of iron man and was like WTF is THIS??!!!. Game over, drums didn't have a chance after that. Neither did any non metal music. lol

You've got to be a *real* SF fan to know Poul Anderson's name. Not that he was a minor writer, no, but the world outside SF knows Heinlein, Clarke, and Asimov, and that's about it. But Anderson should not be left out.

I recently read something (might have been from one of you degenerates) where the writer observed that virtually anywhere that Spanish is the primary language, it's a corrupt shithole.
I'd amend that to say that virtually anywhere that doesn't have English as a primary language will be a shithole. A few exceptions to the rule, like Japan, but generally that's the way to bet.

I have done this with my son a few times and he's gotten upset with me (won't go into details) - he was calling me a racist or mean (to a druggy homeless dude), but I have explained to him that, A. I don't owe strangers anything -- don't have to be polite in all circumstances, and B. I'd rather be temporarily perceived as mean than live with the regret of not acting.
Hard point to get through to kids when every media product, school, etc. pushes "tolerance" and "you must make friends with people not like you!" No, you don't, not always.

And there is no incentive to integrate. "Americanization" has become a dirty word and many of the lessons that we learned back in the Ellis Island days about systematic Americanization have been forgotten. Much work by many people and industries (Henry Ford was big on it, for example) has been thrown in the dustbin and forgotten or ignored.

But I suspect this will be a double-standard. If a white patient says, "I want a white doctor" he'll be denied but I suspect that if an Arab patient says, "I want an Arab doctor" then he will not be denied.

That songs sucks.
The thing is, some songs like Horse with No Name and Shannon and Wildfire have stupid lyrics, but great melodies and production. Ditto with Bread.
Sure "Everything I Own" is treacly. But the music is great.

One of the most important rock songs ever released. After Like a Rolling Stone, rock songs could be about anything.
Also, that song pioneered the organ/piano combination that hundreds of bands --think Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers for one--always used.

Saw a documentary about Rush, in which I believe it was YYZ that nearly broke them as they tried and I believe ultimately succeeded in recording it in one pass successfully.
It was that musically challenging, even for their level of talent.

DeBecker's key concept, which has saved countless lives -- and might save your own -- is that humans, as members of the animal kingdom, are born with self-protective INSTINCTS, just like every other animal, but that our culture does its best to suppress and destroy this powerful sense. In reality, when you get "a bad feeling" about someone, when you encounter someone who makes you feel funny, who gives you "the creeps," you need to HEED and ACT ON that feeling.
The reason is that our "sixth sense" about people is not just some fuzzy, silly thing to be dismissed -- much less a prejudice to scold ourselves for. Rather, it is the result of the powerful supercomputer that is our subconscious, a supercomputer that never shuts off and that is constantly storing and processing, without our conscious knowledge, data points from everything we have observed and experienced in our whole lives. When some random stranger "just gives you a bad feeling," there are REASONS for that, even if your conscious mind can't identify them. The supercomputer in your subconscious has access to data you're not even aware of, and the result of all that data is the "funny feeling" that that person is DANGEROUS.
DeBecker teaches you how to spot potential predators. (And this is why he gets paid the big bucks!) There are certain behaviors that predators have, and you can learn to spot them and get out of harm's way. DeBecker gives real examples of people who saved their own lives by listening to their instincts about people who turned out to be killers.

Yup, meeting because the DOJ telling a Judge, 'the recommendation for sentence was wrong, disregard it and make your own sentence' is clearly infringing on the power of the Court.

I always had a different take on that song than most people. It's not a happy song, the tone is strained, and there's no joy in it. It's about buckling to peer pressure to fit in with atheist Hollywood. Hence the fear and confusion in "Oh no I've said too much / or haven't said enough?" You don't have to worry about what you said if what you say is what they want to hear, after all...

Right . . . so, then, in the Royal Navy, did one ship -- a brigantine -- do jail duty for the whole fleet, thus the expression "to put him in the brig[antine]"?
