The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

We fought a war to free ourselves from the tyranny of a monarchy, which is nothing more than a caste system. And what is that? There are some who are better...more important...more deserving...than others. And all based on birth, or titles granted by the existing high caste.

What a vile and disgusting idea that is! And it is antithetical to the political philosophy of the founders of our country, so why do we have the political equivalent of a monarchy in the United States?

Pelosi's hair stylist kerfuffle is just business-as-usual, just that she got caught. De Blasio and his wife running in a park against all the Wuhan Flu rules. Politicians granting waivers to their favorite dancing monkeys to perform at their awards shows. Mayor Groot of Chicago using dozens of sorely needed cops to defend her own house.

The list goes on and on. Elected officials are the new royalty, and are immune to the very rules that they create to control the commoners. It's too bad that the constitutional guarantee of a free press has been bastardized by the very people whose work it protects, otherwise some of those politicians might be held accountable for their actions. But they are defended and protected instead of being pilloried by a properly functioning 4th estate.

Instead of "afflicting the comfortable and comforting the afflicted," the media have become full-throated apologists for their favored politicians, and have abrogated what few responsibilities they have...just report the truth and follow it wherever it leads.

But divine right is an ethereal thing and did not protect the many royal families who were suddenly faced with commoners who saw their privilege as unacceptable, and their mismanagement as intolerable. Some were exiled, some forced to abdicate, and some were killed.

It remains to be seen whether the current American royalty will suffer as so many in the past have. We have a system that allows us to discard our politicians without bloodshed or strife, which protects all involved from the bloody methods of so many other countries both current and past. But if that system is no longer functional, no longer trusted, what is the next step?

26 Possible Biden's foot-in-mouth strike.

From a commenter at Insty's knockoff ONT last night:

Biden's gaffe of the day was a doozy. I'm still trying to find actual video, but it was something close to, "The Republicans think they can bring these cities back by sprinkling angel dust all around."

I'm 99% certain he said angel dust, but a little weak on the rest. I'll find it though.

That's like the perfect combination of Obama's "magic wand" quote with an underlying twist of racism.

If true, it also has Biden getting confused between the PCP-drug slang "angel dust" and the (British usage?) 'pixy dust' or 'fairy dust'. I guess that's why he associates it with (Black!!!) cities.

Saw that too and then wondered just how many of those negative reviews and bad comments directed at her were real. Were they the result of a Demoprog rapid response socialist media team? How many of them came from the same small group of people?

It's not like the Demoprogs have never used fake support for a candidate or issue before to make it appear far more popular than it is.

43 The current aristocracy has gone way too far out on a limb to try and protect their position. Now they've gotten to the point of whipping up rent-a-mobs to go after those who oppose them; but that's an old, old game and it's even more risky.

Just thinking about Andrew Cuomo's outburst against Trump yesterday - what it says more than anything else is that he's scared, and he's losing his cool. In these kinds of times, the side that loses its cool and composure first almost always losing everything soon after. That's why we don't react on their level - we react effectively, not emotionally.

Mr. Trump, it has been conclusively proven that your campaign in 2016 worked closely with the Russian government to get you into the WHite House. Do you promise, on this stage, right here, right now, to refuse any further help from the Russians in this election? Will you say into the camera right now, "President Putin, I refuse any further help from you in my failing bid to secure another term"

The problem isn't the Democrats per se. The problem is the Left. I can have a policy disagreement with a liberal. With a liberal, I agree on the fundamentals (like the concept of a nation-state, the right of a state to its borders, the subordination of the state to the citizen, the supremacy of individual rights, etc.) and we can argue the finer points with regard to the role of the state and progress.

I cannot do that with a Leftist. I share nothing with a Leftist. There is no point in a policy disagreement with them, because we agree to none of the same framing or foundational philosophy.

Do we really have the ability to discard those who no longer seek to serve, rather than being served? Forty years in the House, seats being passed from father to son to wife, it being remarkable that the fourth generation of a political dynasty is the first to lose in his home state, or that, for the first time in almost 70 years, no member of that family holds political office?

Last week one of the city council members said it was a health issue and not fluoridating the water is hurting minorities and such an issue should not be decided by a show of hands.

169 The Afterschool Specials had two interesting rules for the scriptwriters: Any solutions to any problems had to be thought of by the kids, never by any adults. And no Hollywood endings.

A perfect example was the powerful, award winning episode The Pinballs, starring Kristy MacNichol as a rebellious teen caught up as a cog in the foster family machine. The closest thing it had to a not-really-happy ending was that she began taking her first tentative steps towards growing up.

Kids could handle some dark shit back then. No safe spaces.

The central error of the BLM/Woke movement is that it is in fact a New Religion, preaching the absolute superiority of one race over another. It is an inherently anti-Christian message, which makes it so disgusting when fake Christians, who don't even understand what they claim to believe, fall in with it.

One of the most powerful themes of True Christianity is the equality of all before God. Paul's letters are where this is brought out most explicitly, although it also is found in the Gospels and the older books. Looking at a concordance on equality, here are just a few. (far from a comprehensive list)

Galations 3: 26 - 28 ; "So in Jesus Christ you are all Children of God through Faith; for all of you who were baptized into Christ are clothed with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus."

Colossians 3: 10 - 11 ; 10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. 11 Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all."

James 2: 8 - 9 ; If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, "Love your neighbor as yourself", you are doing right. 9 But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers.

Romans 2:11 "For God does not show favoritism"

Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God."

Deuteronomy 10:17 ; "For the Lord your God is God of Gods and Lord of Hosts; the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes."

220 Our numbers are temporarily low because poeple are hurt, suffering from PTSD and various mental health issues.

One problem the rioters in Portland have had over the last couple of nights is that there has been bad coordination - riots have been announced for a couple of places, rather than a single unified location, so the rioters lack critical mass.

On factor behind this is that @safePDXprotest, which had been organizing the riots every night, has made its Tweets private, so it is no longer directly publicizing the riots.

The ongoing FBI investigation into Antifa's leadership in Portland may be making them nervous.

Same here- every time she was on screen, I was totally preoccupied by how much her face has aged. The first time I remember seeing her was on St. Elsewhere in the 80s. Her face was quite different. Seems her career really took off after she has some "work" done. In "'World on Fire", her face seemed closer to the pre-work Helen, if that makes sense.

Yes. This is the "Left Pole" problem. If you stand on the North Pole, any direction you walk is south. If you're on the Left Pole, any direction away from you is "literally Hitler."

It's why we have this weird condition right now of so-called "big tent conservatism." Conservatives, liberals, populists, constitutionalists, many libertarian branches - they're all aligning for the time being. It isn't sustainable, but for now there is a common enemy that needs to be destroyed. This is not the time for policy debate. We need to get back to that point, but for now it's about those fundamentals. Everyone who shares them is an ally against the communists.

256 One of the most powerful themes of True Christianity is the equality of all before God

Thanks for the Biblical quotes, Tom Servo.

There's a lot of things going horribly wrong with our society, IMO primarily because Christianity is being ignored. JJ's link to the control-freak post is but one example. As we constantly see, none of those people can stand being the object of what they propose to do to everyone else. They don't like the tables being turned on them yet they never think about that possibility.

Empathy and respect for others as equals are two ideas that really need to make a comeback. Nobody likes hypocrites like Nanzi Pelousi, so why do they keep getting elected? Why do we put up with repulsive qualities in those who are supposed to represent us?

That's about half right. The Supreme Court issued a temporary stay until there is a hearing. After the hearing, the Supreme Court will issue a decision. I assume they will rule against Harris County. But the County Clerk may be correct that they wouldn't have logistically been able to send out the absentee ballot requests until next week anyway, just because they had to print more than a million of them, so the temporary stay really didn't do anything. It's the permanent injunction after the hearing that will prevent it.

The old ways are best: bankruptcy. They have to live within their means. If they can't pay the bond coupon, they go bankrupt and get a restructuring manager. Cut the programs and contracts to the bone and fire everyone with fiduciary responsibility. Come out of it restructured and have to make do with no credit at reasonable rates for a decade or so.

Lin Wood has been censored, for offering a defense of Kyle Rittenhouse.

When it comes to a hierarchical system, it's important to look at the corporate press as not just a system that refuses to defend Free Speech, but one that is part of the aristocracy, when it comes to who does and does not have the right to use speech.

I wouldn't. I'll make the argument that the American movement from individual liberty to today's predicament is directly proportional to the corresponding increase in population density. Urban living encourages a level of collectivism that's the antithesis of personal freedom and responsibility. I'll argue that it's no coincidence that the strongest bastions of progressives today also happen to be our most populous, packed cities. One begets the other.

We should not be "bringing back" our cities, period. They're incubators of big government socialism. We should be figuring out how to let them die as painlessly as possible.

353 It remains to be seen whether the current American royalty will suffer as so many in the past have. We have a system that allows us to discard our politicians without bloodshed or strife, which protects all involved from the bloody methods of so many other countries both current and past. But if that system is no longer functional, no longer trusted, what is the next step?

Understand that if you substitute "white males" for "politicians" you are describing exactly what the leftist narrative is.

The difference being "white males" do not enjoy liberties that POC/minority groups are not granted.

In fact, quite the opposite. It is codified that minorities are given special dispensation. As recent months have shown, minority groups are exempt from laws. Minority groups are exempt from cultural criticism.

The question that is really troubling is how long white, working-class males will tolerate the royal ethnic excesses.

Last night on OANN, Liz Wheeler's show ran a spot on an article that was in the NYT's in the last couple of days. describing how the gross amount of testing we are doing for Covid and the resultant positive tests are misleading. According to the research the Times has done , 90% of the positive Covid 19 tests today SHOULD have been negative. Why? Because the tests currently use some type of accumulation technique. For example, you take a sample from someone's nose then you put it in some type of machine that then begins to replicate any DNA found from the virus. In this case 40-50 times what the original DNA found amounted. It then registers a positive. Despite the fact that the actual amount of DNA and virus in the person's nose is so insignificant that it won't cause illness nor will it be transmittable. For example, yesterday, there were 35,000 new covid cases, when in reality, there were only 3500. But the 35,000 is driving lockdowns, cancellations, closures, etc.
Wheeler said research scientists ae saying that anytime you accumulate a test beyond 30 times, it's invalid because it is non viable. But all the tests being used in the USA for the general testing of the population are these PCR tests of up to 50 times.

Are they mailing ballots or applications for ballots?

362 Way back when, I had some guy slip me a joint laced
with pcp. I was driving, and, because of the effects, I had to pull over
and stop until it wore off. I felt like I was driving a car with the
front end completely warped with part of it missing and the steering
wheel appeared bent.

First and last time. I was not a happy camper. I've had acid trips that were mild compared to that crap.

367 273 How would you help bring the cities back without a traditional cash bailout?"

Why would we want to? Large cities all become leftist power bases, magnets for the underclass to combine and extort the rest of us for funds.

The logic of needing large cities has passed. We no longer have large centralized factories with a workforce in the thousands. We have a road and communications system which means all points have equal access to everything. As James Altuchar pointed out, the development of Bandwidth now means there is no informational advantage to being in a large city.

The Large Cities were already going to die back because of all of these changes. Covid and BLM have just massively accelerated the process. Why try to stop what cannot be stopped, especially when it's for the better?

Somebody asked Barr about that yesterday or the day before (I think at Kenosha) and he said Durham's investigation did not fall under that rule. Technically (and I'm making assumptions about what he meant), no one who is a target is a candidate for office, so the rule does not apply. I guess that means Biden's off the hook, at least until after November 4.

No. First, there's no "report", he's working on indictments, or nothing. Second, that whole 60 day thing is a lot like the Pirates Code - it's really just a guideline, not a rule.

386 Speaking of being ruled. Apparently my city has voted against fluoridating the water several times over the years. Last week one of the city council members said it was a health issue and not fluoridating the water is hurting minorities and such an issue should not be decided by a show of hands. Ergo, the city council is going to make the decision whether to do it or not.
