The Morning Rant

Watching the Democratic meltdown over the DOJ moving to drop the criminal case against General Flynn has been amusing. "But he's GUILTY! HE EVEN ADMITTED HE WAS GUILTY!!" they shriek. Conveniently forgetting obvious fact that plea deals are a regular occurrence in our justice system, so that happens quite a lot. Also, in this case, they threatened to go after the guy's family if he didn't cut a deal, so maybe that had something to do with it, too.

And the reason why the DOJ dropped the case, that they couldn't find a "legitimate investigative basis" for the Flynn prosecution, is simply ignored. They don't address it, other than to holler that WAG Barr is a 'traitor'.

And then it's "Flynn colluded with a foreign power to influence the election." So now we're back to the Russian collusion hoax.

The continual gaslighting is astounding.

And on a completely different note, I just noticed a $2400 deposit in my savings account from fedgov. I guess that's our "stimulus" money.

First of all, it ain't real money, it's debt money, and eventually we'll have to pay some Chinese guy.

Second, with all of these emergency edicts flying around and some governors and mayors really letting their inner tyrant run around free, and questions about how much of this stuff is going to turn into something permanent, I think $2400 doesn't begin to cover the value of the rights we've surrendered. Listen to that officious uber-Karen in the Ventura County video below. He really sounds quite pleased with the new oppressive regime he's about to help implement, and it's disturbing to know that people like him are in government.

Monday's celebs: Last time, we were treated to the bodacious gams of Joan Blondell, whom I find to be the most appealing of the early Hollywood actresses. Looking for an appropriate match for her, I discovered early Hollywood leading man Warren William in a movie they made together, Gold Diggers of 1933. But thanks to imsb.com's 'collaborations' search, they were in a bunch of other movies together, including 3 on a Match, Smarty, Goodbye Again, and Stage Struck.

The cognitive dissonance is astounding and it is institutionalized.

The same person who says "I support funds like The Innocence Project to help free people who were wrongfully convicted and give them their lives back" also says "Flynn is definitely guilty because he plead guilty and that's final."

And the same person who says "All cops are violent, racist thugs who enforce state power at the expense of inner city denizens" is the same person who says "Only cops should have guns."

It's astounding how clouding ideology can be.

28 So -

I decided to treat myself to a 1-month, 1-dollar subscription to the Epoch Times, and the first issue dropped on my doorstep today.

I like. Nice and girthy, with lots of news, fashion and social sections. Like an honest Sunday NYT. I'd recommend it if you like to sit in a comfy chair with a cup of tea and read the paper for an hour or so.

And I would really like to shake hands with whomever puts together their comic quarter-page; along with modern strips like Dilbert and Red and Rover, there is also a Mutt and Jeff from, if I know my strips, the late 'teens / early 'twenties. I love it.

We're not ever going to "pay it back" to anyone, or consequence is that in the end, "Dollars" will simply become as worthless as pesos, and the wealthy will move their holdings into something else. The only real question is how many years that will take to play out. If we can milk it for 20 or 30 years, at least the Boomers don't have to worry about it.

I think there is a system in place now. My guess is that there is a DNC/Press review corps that sends feedback to the Press organs in real time. Not talking points - those come later - but simple "stop/go; comment/don't comment" messages to give them time to develop the talking points and not have the narrative form *at all* while they're working on it.

Like with Flynn. The narrative was set on that before the release (they knew it was coming) as "but he said he was guilty and so this is corruption." For things that happen in real time, though, it would not surprise me at all if they have shot-callers tagging things as go/no-go to keep their organs in line.

51 These screeches don't even know what the corrupt fbi said he was guilty OF.

He said something like "don't escalate because of sanctions" in a long conversation.

Later, not in a real interview, they asked if he talked about sanctions and he said he didn't remember. That was "the lie."

He had no reason to lie so he probably didn't remember if they discussed them other than in broad generalities.

Also why did obama want Russia to over react to the new sanctions?

Also why were they sanctioned? Facebook ads?

86 "it ain't real money, it's debt money, and eventually we'll have to pay some Chinese guy."

the new magic money tree (MMT) means we don't have to borrow and pay interest, the Fed Reserve just puts it on their "book". It really is magic.

imo, that really is better than unlimited interest payments, the downside being their is no limit to spending, and many things get manipulated by BigGov. MMT means government can go full socialism without taxation ... just print it baby.

That is why we need the Fed Reserve, but one that protects our monetary system, not one that bails out WallStreet bloat and corruption. For now though, the trillions actually make the USD stronger, because foreign investors see that the US will back up their markets, while other nations are less able to inflate so freely.

so maybe deflation first, then inflation in due time. tick tock ... just another day of unlimited spending ... not quite as bad as the Green New Deal ... but a remaking of our system is underway. (China debt is like one trillion)

90 And the reason why the DOJ dropped the case, that they couldn't find a "legitimate investigative basis" for the Flynn prosecution, is simply ignored. They don't address it, other than to holler that WAG Barr is a 'traitor'.

And then it's "Flynn colluded with a foreign power to influence the election." So now we're back to the Russian collusion hoax.

The continual gaslighting is astounding.

I honestly have not been able to follow all the details of what the Flynn case is all about. I generally understand it as being about the Left's accusation of Trump-Russia collusion?

Either way, I don't get what the big deal is at all. Isn't the DoJ basically controlled by the Executive Branch? Didn't Obama use his DoJ to go after law enforcement and to prop up Black Lives Matter and all the protests and to legitimize all their claims?

So when the Left now says that this is nothing more than Trump directing the DoJ to drop the case, I honestly am inclined to believe that after seeing what Obama did with his DoJ for 8 years.

"Yesterday, at this conference, at the Board of Supervisors, I gave people the impression that if you were isolated, you would be taken out of your home and put into a hotel room or a motel room or sequestered in some way. If I did do that, I am very sorry," he said. "That is an option. That is possible.

They expelled the Russian diplomats as a part of the Flynn op. Flynn was out of the country on vacation and thus, as being on foreign soil, was subject to much easier electronic surveillance. They expelled the diplomats, which they knew would spook the diplomats. This led to a phone call with Flynn on an unsecured foreign line. Thus the perjury trap was set and they descended on Flynn with that as a pretext.

So, yeah, I can completely understand the Left now having the same attitude. Who cares if the charges were dropped, it was just a political move by Trump's DoJ, just like Obama made political moves with his DoJ for 8 years.

147 Former Obama administration defense official Evelyn Farkas testified under oath that she lied during an MSNBC interview when she claimed to have evidence of alleged collusion, a newly declassified congressional transcript of her testimony shows. Farkas testified before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on June 26, 2017, as part of the committee's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election between Donald Trump and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Lawmakers keyed in on an appearance Farkas made on MSNBC on March 2, 2017, in which she urged intelligence community bureaucrats to disseminate within the government and potentially even leak to media any incriminating information they had about Trump or his aides.
"I had a fear that somehow that information would disappear with the senior [Obama administration] people who left...[that] it would be hidden away in the bureaucracy," Farkas said.

To all the Karens I am reminded of a quote to which I shall paraphrase.

"Go now. Go from our sight. May the chains rest lightly upon your shoulders."

And if that confuses you, then simply - "Bugger off you fascist twats."

Posted by: Anna Puma

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude
better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace.
We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which
feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget
that ye were our countrymen.

238 They expelled the Russian diplomats as a part of the Flynn op. Flynn was out of the country on vacation and thus, as being on foreign soil, was subject to much easier electronic surveillance. They expelled the diplomats, which they knew would spook the diplomats. This led to a phone call with Flynn on an unsecured foreign line. Thus the perjury trap was set and they descended on Flynn with that as a pretext.

Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!)

And of course the reasons that Flynn had to be removed was because he was an outspoken critic of the Iran Nuke Deal and he also knew about all the spying that Obama did, starting back in 2009. Everyone in DC knew that Flynn was set to take a flamethrower to the IC, so he had to be taken out.

I hope he does the same in August. The end of the Pacific War (I always notice the irony of that name) closed out an entire era in human history.

And if you haven't read it, I strongly recommend reading MacArthur's remarks at the Japanese surrender. It is brief, poignant, direct and magnanimous and set the course for what was to come. I am not a huge MacArthur fan in his form as a general. As dictator of Japan during the occupation, though, he was remarkable.

Of course she was made to apologise for being racist, and has now made all her social media private. However, the Karens have taken to Amazon to b#tch about her in the review section for her books, and have been contacting her publisher to make them aware of her comments - and to DO SOMETHING about it.

Hitchcock's next movie, Murder! is much better when it comes to utilizing sound.

There's an extended shot early that tracks back and forth between two rooms as two characters walk back and forth talking.

But there was still a lack of clarity about what kind of dialogue should be used. There's an extended jury room sequence that ends up being little more than endless blather until the final couple of minutes.

Hitchcock was figuring things out in his early career as a contract director.

This made me go reread MacArthur's speech to Congress when he was relieved from Korea. I think it is acceptable for a man to tear up at the conclusion.

I am closing my 52 years of military service. When I joined the Army, even before the turn of the century, it was the fulfillment of all of my boyish hopes and dreams. The world has turned over many times since I took the oath on the plain at West Point, and the hopes and dreams have long since vanished, but I still remember the refrain of one of the most popular barrack ballads of that day which proclaimed most proudly that "old soldiers never die; they just fade away."

And like the old soldier of that ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty.

Good Bye.

Thus the big "IF" in there. Many people are not well equipped to do so, and for many others equipment isn't the issue - things like distractions, juggling kids, etc. are a problem.

WFH is not a panacea it is not universally appropriate. There is also the huge issues around employee preference that should be accommodated if possible.

But many can do it just fine, and many firms that I know of are making it semi-permanent or fully permanent for those who want it as a result of this lockdown. The amount of new technology that has been installed to make WFH possible at scale for these organizations is gigantic and a lot of people now see that it is possible to do it well.
