Wednesday Overnight Open Thread (1/13/21)
Once I’ve finished with my song and I release it then I don’t mind who makes what interpretation of it. At least, for me, they’re thinking about it. They’re free to think it means this, that or the other. If they ask me what it means I’ll say, “OK, well this is what I think it means but you’re free, feel free to think of it as anything you wish.” Paul McCartneyQuote II
You are capable of more than you know. Choose a goal that seems right for you and strive to be the best, however hard the path. Aim high. Behave honorably. Prepare to be alone at times, and to endure failure. Persist! The world needs all you can give. E. O. Wilson
Quote III
Forgiveness is not always easy. At times, it feels more painful than the wound we suffered, to forgive the one that inflicted it. And yet, there is no peace without forgiveness. Marianne Williamson
Quote IV
“But for those who voted for Biden, that’s what you’re going to get, and for Republicans, and Christians who voted for Biden, this is on your hands. To be sober, I just want them to realize that.” Focus on the Family (FOTF) President Jim Daly
Quote V
“When I am asked to provide strategic advice to help a company operate in a more responsible and humane manner consistent with U.S. law in spirit and letter, it is an opportunity to make things better while helping protect and create American jobs.” Former Senator Barbara BoxerQuote VI
“A lot of people are migrating to OnlyFans out of desperation. These are people who are worried about eating, they’re worried about keeping the lights on, they’re worried about not being evicted.” Angela Jones, an associate professor of sociology at the State University of New York at Farmingdale
NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio announced this morning the city will terminate three contracts with the Trump Org in response to the storming of the U.S. Capitol last week. Per Fox News “The mayor said that City Hall would notify the Trump Organization that it will be canceling agreements to operate the carousel in Central Park, two skating rinks and a golf course. He said the agreements for the carousel and skating rinks will be ended in less than a month, but that the golf course could take longer.” De Blasio said “In light of this criminal act, the city of New York has determined that it is within our power to terminate all contracts with the Trump organization…So, goodbye to the Trump organization.”

They say that dogs are man’s best friends, and it would make sense to see people do anything for their dogs. But cats? Have you ever heard of someone getting charged with kidnapping, false imprisonment, burglary, and weapons charges after allegedly threatening a 23-year-old woman with a loaded assault rifle because he wanted to get his cat? Well if not, meet 44-year-old Tony Wittmann.

There was nothing to apologize for. Actor Bruce Willis apologizes to the Mask Nazis.
Pictures emerged of the Die Hard actor walking through a Rite Aid pharmacy in Los Angeles, California on Sunday without a mask or any kind of covering over his face. He wore a bandana around his neck but Bruce did not use it to cover his mouth and nose. Amid criticism for not adhering to health and safety measures during the coronavirus pandemic, the actor released a brief statement to People which said: ‘It was an error in judgment. Be safe out there everyone and let’s continue to mask up.’ It had been reported by Page Six that Bruce, 65, was asked to leave the store by an employee due to him not wearing a mask. Cases of Covid-19 continue to spike in California, where over 31,000 people have died from the disease. More than 2.8 million cases of coronavirus have been confirmed in the state, which is currently under a stay at home order.

Oh my Erik Erickson is worried about right wing circles. The only thing he knows about circles are circle jerks. He still isn't going to land a gig on CNN.
The Newspaper of Record is now operating as the CDC.
“Football coaches do it. President-elects do it. Even science-savvy senators do it. As cases of the coronavirus continue to surge on a global scale, some of the nation’s most prominent people have begun to double up on masks — a move that researchers say is increasingly being backed up by data,” the paper writes. The Times cites Linsey Marr, an expert in virus transmission at Virginia Tech, who said “if you combine multiple layers, you start achieving pretty high efficiencies” of blocking viruses from exiting, and even entering, the nose or mouth. Of course, there’s a drawback: “We run the risk of making it too hard to breathe.”

A lecturer was left red-faced after uploading a video to a shared portal showing herself calling students 'absolute idiots'. In the video, senior lecturer Dr Helen McCarthy complains to Cardiff University colleagues about a student sharing a petition during her lecture. She said the student 'p***ed me off' and joked about there being an 'uprising'. The clip was accidentally recorded and uploaded to the student portal with Bioscience students at Cardiff University discovering it among lecture recordings and sharing it widely.
Aryana Chopra said she wanted to spread a little holiday cheer to those who could not be with their families. When Aryana's mother, Shachi, saw that her daughter was hard at work designing the cards, she called a local nursing home and asked how many residents lived there. "They told me the number was 200. I went back to Aryana and asked, 'Will you be able to make 200 cards? She was like, 'Yes, Mommy, I can do that," Shachi recalled. "For her, at a little age, to be thinking this way, my heart totally melted."

Ps35
Plead my cause, O Lord, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me. Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help. Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.
Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt. Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the Lord chase them. Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the Lord persecute them....

Does Mable Peabody's have an online site?
And MisHum, Ellen Foley is an interesting music choice. There was a type of brash female singer that seemed to only have been popular in the late 1970s and early 80s; Bonnie Tyler was another of them.
There was also a great one who's on the Grease soundtrack, Cindy Bullens. Unfortunately she went crazy (see her Wiki page).

If you voted DNC this year for President you literally voted for anybody but Trump.
Because you voted for the party that said you're getting 50-year political veteran Joe Biden, but Biden revealed on national television that he has made a promise to a previous President that he will "fake an illness" and step down if he comes into conflict with his VP.
To be clear, that's a woman who couldn't win a single primary.
You voted for a party that lied to you about exactly what you were voting for.

I didn't know how to clear documents and data so I just uninstalled/reinstalled. Problem solved.
Now my phone is running *super fast*.

Car costs have had me scratching my head for a long time. I'm not rich, but I've had a very reasonable income for almost 20 years now. Everyone in my middle class neighborhood drives better cars than me. I'd chalk it up to priorities, but it's not like I'm setting the world on fire with investments or savings either.

A whole LOT of grannies kept .25 Ravens as their nightstand guns. All they could afford on Social Security and food stamps.
Know what? God BLESS 'em. An armed Granny is the Best Granny!
And God Bless Raven/Jennings/Bryco for cranking out so damn many of those pot metal piles of near-junk. Funny thing though, those guns really would work as intended, through a box or two of rounds, anyway. And I'll betcha Granny never even fired off a practice mag at the range. Would they be my choice for a carry gun? Next to never, unless there was NO other choice. Then, yes. More immediately useable rounds on board than a Liberator, anyway.

I've always bought to own, since my idea of car maintenance is a sometime thing, and I store trash and dirty tools or gear in it from time to time. (Hey, I gave a hoot and didn't pollute.) So leasing isn't the way for me. At the current prices though I'll be buying my next car from Junior Samples.

I buy my cars with cash. No payments. That means I buy road-worthy but not all that lovely older vehicles, and maintain them. My latest is a station wagon, into which I put a decent set of all-weather tires and I patched some of the interior. I paid $2K and have driven it for three years. It probably will go one more year, and then on to the next one.
I hate car payments. My car isn't my penis substitute, so I don't care if it doesn't turn heads. It also doesn't get stolen or broken into. So, there's that. And I can load an entire Costco run, three hockey players with equipment, and two dogs into it and still have breathing room.
YMMV.

I hate car payments. My car isn't my penis substitute, so I don't care if it doesn't turn heads. It also doesn't get stolen or broken into. So, there's that. And I can load an entire Costco run, three hockey players with equipment, and two dogs into it and still have breathing room.

By the way, whoever it is that is running the MeWe AoS groups does a great job.
If you are on Facebook, you should close your Facebook account and join MeWe instead. And then you should join the AoS MeWe groups.
And then you should post in those groups and comment on other people's posts. Before you know it, it would be like a Facebook replacement, only without that jerk Zuckerberg in charge of it and with few to no woke dipwads.

107 According to the Epoch Times, there will be 20,000 ANG troops in DC next Wednesday. Think on that one for a minute ... Germany had 80,000 in Normandy on D-Day. So DC is worth only 1/4 of France ... Thinking that might be a bit high.

Dunno why, if it's Placeholder's inauguration it'll be indoors with 20 safe-spaced people, and everyone will be wearing masks. (Very appropriate for that gang of thieves.) Like they're gonna let the confused & frail old man sit 2 hours for a ceremony in front of a crowd walk outdoors in a parade and stay there for a couple of hours where the entire world can see he's in worse shape than Andropov or Chernenko.

139 I buy my cars with cash. No payments. That means I buy road-worthy but not all that lovely older vehicles, and maintain them. My latest is a station wagon, into which I put a decent set of all-weather tires and I patched some of the interior. I paid $2K and have driven it for three years. It probably will go one more year, and then on to the next one.
I hate car payments. My car isn't my penis substitute, so I don't care if it doesn't turn heads. It also doesn't get stolen or broken into. So, there's that. And I can load an entire Costco run, three hockey players with equipment, and two dogs into it and still have breathing room.

Whoever the Dem nominee you'd be working for is, you can be sure that the party didn't allow some independent, undisciplined rando to win their primary. The only Dems that get uppity are ones that have been there long enough, like Manchin.

If Trump sues on January 21 for defamation and due process violations, SCOTUS will say "Too late, laches!". If Trump sues to protect his due process rights before the inauguration, SCOTUS will say "No jurisdiction, the Senate has sole power to try impeachment." If the Senate were to declare Trump has to stay in office until the impeachment trial is concluded, SCOTUS would suddenly find all the jurisdiction belongs to them.

.380 seems a bit small for an APC. Sorry, I had to do it. In all seriousness, enjoy it. My only issue with .380 is it can often cost more than 9mm. I get that there are few 9mms that are as compact as some .380s. I once had one of the heaviest .380s you could find, a Beretta 85, before it was called a Cheetah.

125 Sen. Tammy Duckworth (Demoncrat) wants any NG troops attending DC on 20 Jan to be vetted for dangerous beliefs first.
-------
I suppose "dangerous beliefs" ultimately means "voted for Trump", right? Man, the bitch is stupid. Yeah, let's make the troops currently in D.C. get checked for loyalty to the regime by not supporting the previous president. Is this 1952, still? Stupid bitch, it was going after the ARMY that made Ike turn on McCarthy and forced the Senate to oppose him as well. Don't, don't insult the Armed Forces in this way. They might decide to review the "enemies domestic" portion of the oath.
But what do I know, I'm just a racist-fascist-cisincel-sexist-everythingphobe white man from Deplorables country. Go ahead and piss off the Army bitch, making the military take sides in this whole thing is the one Constitutional fuck-up that hasn't happened yet.

You don't have to worry about Jamie Herrera Beutler. She'll lose to Carolyn Long if she runs again. Long is a Portland carpetbagger, university prof IIRC. Jamie won this election because the rural conservative counties voted for her. She's been a Never Trumper from the git go because he gives her the vapors. One of those vote for the RINO types.

Well, it's fine if you own a rig that's reliable. But if you aren't sure if it will start, have to keep having the brackets welded back up on the doors so they will close and can't tow anything with that pickup because the rebuilt tranny won't take it, a car payment doesn't look that bad. I bought used and it's a pretty modest payment. Worth every penny.

hey, I'm all for letting Antifa guys take the rap and the beatdowns for us, but this is one case where going in hot when the enemy is present in strength is stupid and will gain us only bodies for nothing. If it's time to fight, let's choose the fight on our terms, not theirs.

Don't worry, he will get replaced as soon as the powers behind the desk can arrange it. My bet is he's gone by Christmas this year. He'll get shoved out the door, and then we have to deal with Commie-la Harris. If the civil war hasn't started yet she'll do the job for sure.
According to the 22nd Amendment (if the Constitution even matters any more) she can serve out Biden's last two years and still run for two more - for a total of ten years.
This, of course would makehistory herstory so my Dead Pool date for Joe is exactly two years from the 20th.

231 Jim,
Trump found out the hard way through Kelly, Mattis, McMasters, etc. that our flag officers just are just politicians in a military uniform. Part of it is the military education systems for advancement which has deteriorated including the honor code across the board.
If a president by some miracle is conservative, the best thing they could do is reduce the flag ranks to that of the Army and Navy of 1940. Even years ago, it was getting ridiculous with the ratio of generals to troops or admirals to ships compared with the command ratio in WWII.
I would also make every officer serve as an enlisted man for at least two years including the academies and the direct commissions. Air Force should bring back the warrant officers as well.

IMMO that's why she's not quite sane today...

Just for laughs, I popped into one of our local sporting goods stores (not Dick's - they deserve the flaming pineapple deluxe). As one might suspect, about the only ammo they had left on the shelves was not the high-demand stuff. If you needed a box of .338 Win Mag, you're in luck. 5.56? No way. Same for primers, powder, and boolits. There were shotguns and bolt guns, and a handful of revolvers, but pretty much no semi-autos. And this is in a mid-sized southern Oregon town, in a store that has been reliably well-stocked for most of the past 15 years.

255 Observer, that is of course assuming there IS a US by then. My original date for financial collapse based on average length of fiat currencies in history was around 2030--with the Covid bulge in spending and borrowing, we are moving up quite quickly to perhaps 2024-2026.
I think one thing that PDT was trying to do is get the growth rate up so fast that we would basically outrun Monty's doom scenario which could have been possible if Congress had actually wanted to invest smartly in infrastructure etc. rather than spend money on grifting opportunities for them and friends.

I've completed the Second Official AoSHQ Classical Music Playlist of Sedition and Domestic Terrorism (TM), consisting of 800 pieces by 800 different composers. You can see the list here:
http://soyaraborzoi.com/Playlist2.htm
Almost 90% is new over the first playlist and the carryovers are pretty much ones that you'd be surprised if they weren't there. If you have the first playlist, you'll still be getting a lot from this one.
The pieces stretch from the 14th to the 21st century. The bias is toward the Classical and Romantic periods, so all you afficianados of plainchant, Renaissance sackbuts, progressive exercises, dodecaphony, serialism, aleatory, and minimalism are SOL.
Same terms as before. Write me at monsalvat 61 at gmail dot com with your mailing address if you'd like a flash drive with these works. While I am not making claims to good taste, I think previous recipients will testify to the value of someone like me serving as an aggregator.

115 I buy my cars with cash. No payments. That means I buy road-worthy but not all that lovely older vehicles, and maintain them. My latest is a station wagon, into which I put a decent set of all-weather tires and I patched some of the interior. I paid $2K and have driven it for three years. It probably will go one more year, and then on to the next one.
I hate car payments. My car isn't my penis substitute, so I don't care if it doesn't turn heads. It also doesn't get stolen or broken into. So, there's that. And I can load an entire Costco run, three hockey players with equipment, and two dogs into it and still have breathing room.
YMMV.

You are more optimistic than I am. But we have enough FUD going on Right Now that we don't need to fuel the anxiety further.
So while some economists were pimping SDRs as the replacement for the dollar as the world's reserve currency, I'm not seeing the movement in that direction.
China's financial system is the opposite of transparent, so while they are now the global hegemony, their currency isn't up to the task.
I'm trying to figure out what will be the international medium of exchange. Multiple currencies will just encourage runaway arbitrage.

237 Blamtifa is going to provide the disturbance that justifies restricting our God-given rights.
Posted by: President-elect Emmie at January 13, 2021 10:42 PM (ofYez)
Yes, in reality, it will be Blamtifa, but in media/politics land it will forever be be #WhiteChristianNationalist Trumptifa that is responsible!
---------
Like I keep telling y'all, if Trump wins we fight Antifa and BLM while Trump fires generals until he gets the ones who will lead the troops to sweep the streets. If the Placeholder gets in we fight Civil War 2, 'cause we won't get a choice to back out of it.

funny, she seems down right bitter and angry to me. I don't follow this stuff like so many others here do. i stopped caring about politics decades ago in many ways. I used to be able to tell you the names of most congress critters, but now, who gives a damn?
But I think a lot of this boils down to the fact that the Bush/Cheney cabal despise Trump and how they lost the party. I am surprised that anyone is surprised when a Bush or Cheney turns on Trump and really the GOP of today.

I'm still convinced this is what will end the union. Dollar collapses and what's left to bind us to a federal government or other states. Nothing. Then you'll see the big reset.

Some of the most spring-loaded in the patriot position people i've ever encountered, are warrant officers, mustang officers, and NCOs. Once they get that batallion staff school under their belt, the rare ones stay that way. The NCOs seem to go at a lower rate when they get the CSM school in the army. Most Warrant Officers, only see ANOC, before becoming a Warrant. And they deal daily with the NCOs and lower EM, which keeps most of them centered and focused.

A lot of them can be readily identified, but voters just don't care. Primary challenges to incumbants don't work because voters see one name they recognize and have voted for for 30 years and the other is a nobody.
Even more informed voters don't want to admit that their previous votes were a mistake, so we just run into the "I hate Congress, but I'll happily re-elect my Congressman" effect.

As to the Focus on Family; it's not Trump's character as he's a very honest and forthright person. He speaks in a manner that can be confusing and he jokes around but sounds serious. Anyway it's not his character it's his bluntness, his impolite manners and his willingness to say what others won't.
There is not one thing anyone can point to that shows him as some tyrant or dictator. NONE. It's all innuendo and misinterpretation by those who are in the lower echelons of politics and are also very young. Too serious and too full of themselves. Spoiled brats who aren't used to an adult telling them they're a waste of space.

297 Observer, even over gold and silver, I would consider energy to be an ideal standard for currency. Supply naturally grows with the economy and impossible to debase and has practical applications--a unit of energy such as a btu literally keeps the light on. Much better than crypto currency as if you create energy--it improves lives and the economy.

The "journalists" writing articles about how the GOP is no longer behind Trump should understand that 197 House Republicans voted against impeachment.
Only 10 voted yes.
96% of the party voted no.
--Rep Lauren Boebert
Discarding the entire Republican party is a big mistake. Target the Shits, keep the rest. Primary the worst 10.
========
TBH I'm more upset with the Senate than the House. Most of the Republican House were Trump wave(s) people, so after a couple of weak days last week they mostly came back to support POTUS. The Senate is supposed to take the long view and not get caught up in the mood swings of the Republic. Boy did they drop the ball for a runback here. Mitch McConnel is a big fat traitor, and if we ever come face to face I am gonna punch his. (Go ahead and report me snooper, I'll post the bad-boyfriend keep-away notice here.)

grows with the economy and impossible to debase and has practical
applications--a unit of energy such as a btu literally keeps the light
on. Much better than crypto currency as if you create energy--it
improves lives and the economy.

I hear what you are saying. But I wonder if it is impossible to debase. We know it is very possible to inflate the price, it happens all the time. Like gold, treasuries, stocks, whatever, governments and national actors can influence the price at a whim in the short run.

The corruption is virtually the entire party. There are almost no good guys. Look at how illegal immigration has polled, no matter how the questions are asked, for decades. Then look at government policy no matter who is in charge. There's only one logical conclusion: they don't represent their voters; they are working for someone else. You can't fight that via one-offs in the primaries. Even if you succeed here and there, and you often won't, they'll go to a DC where virtually everyone else is against them. If you are gonna solve the problem, you're going to need to acknowledge its scope.

However, i gotta tell all you Morons who live in state where they used Dominion machines. It doesn't matter now, 'cause if the vote gets close, it will be changed. Your votes are trash. Ohio and Florida stayed with the system they had made for themselves, and Trump won handily there, with little cheating. Neither state used the accursed devices in numbers big enough to affect the outcome. But for everyone who voted at a Dominion machine, voting your way out will be a fantasy. Deal with it. Does it make you angry? Frustrated? Good, you should be frustrated and angry. Now, what to do about being disenfranchised and shut out of the halls of government?

318 BifBewalski, I agree that was and hopefully still is the core of the military--the ncos, warrant officers in branches that have them, and mustangs in my experiences. The few ring knockers that I came across struck me as products of nepotism where they were learning to network for glory rather than how to handle troops. ROTC officers were uneven in quality. Direct commission officers were clueless.
Then again, I was enlisted but came from a military family of officers albeit different branches.

96% of the party voted no.

Discarding the entire Republican party is a big mistake. Target the Shits, keep the rest. Primary the worst 10.
Except not voting to impeach Trump with a week left in office, isn't some brave, grandiose stand by our fierce GOP warriors. It was a pragmatic decision not to piss off the base.
A brave, grandiose gesture would have been to put a half to the fraud that disenfranchised me. But they didn't do that. They said f*ck him right up the ass.
So that's what they'll get in return. And if I can assist in holding them down as they are getting theirs, well, so much the better.

And both became blue. More bad news, but my milk jug of beer has taken the edge or care off, so there ye be.

I think gold has been a standard of value for thousands of years for a reason. There is a limited supply and people through history have always wanted it. Even compared to jewells and other high priced items, they can always down sell you and tell you why it is not worth what you think, etc. The market is bad, there are flaws, it is ugly, whatever. But with bullion, the price is the price.
i am not saying it will make you rich, far from it. But if we are talking a standard store of value, you could do worse than gold. But everything goes up and down in value so there is that.

My buddy in Texas, a train engineer, said TX will be blue in two years.
I was thinking TX, but the property taxes are out of this world. With the Communist infiltration and the death of the oil industry (and the severance taxes), they soon will supplement with income taxes on top of the high sales taxes.
I'm thinking AR right now, towards the Ozarks. The hitch will be the availability of broadband for work.

The Italian Beef sandwich for Illinois IS iconic.
Me
and my friend Mike used to go to a bar on Taylor Street in Chicago near
where we worked.. The Italian grandma of the owner made beef to die
for.. the gravy! Mama mia!
Of course, we worked for the University of Illinois back then and could take hours long lunch breaks!
Portillos chain of fast food restaurants has a pretty damn good Italian beef.

371 318 BifBewalski, I agree that was and hopefully still is the core of the military--the ncos, warrant officers in branches that have them, and mustangs in my experiences. The few ring knockers that I came across struck me as products of nepotism where they were learning to network for glory rather than how to handle troops. ROTC officers were uneven in quality. Direct commission officers were clueless.
Then again, I was enlisted but came from a military family of officers albeit different branches.
Posted by: whig at January 13, 2021 11:20 PM (pO7gM)
ROTC are hit or miss- concur. As for service academy officers? I found them to be either outstanding or total douches- never in the middle. Former enlisted turned officer via OCS were either outstanding or sham masters. I have a lot of officer friends of all stripes- and 99% are hard core conservatives. Its a hard road for a kid at 23 to learn the ropes and know jack and shit and be responsible for a platoon of soldiers who have more experience than the leader. So take that for what you will.

The very making of energy involves employment and then a major cost of every bit of manufacturing and transportation involves energy, let alone use in the home. One of the issues with store of value type backed currencies is that it can lead to crises if the sync between the store of wealth backing the currency and the currency traded do not correspond with the actual economy.

Plus we're to the point of diminishing returns on most classic cars. The interest just isn't there in the money people under 50, so the prices are dropping and probably will for the remaining future.

I'm not saying TX can't be flipped, but I've never seen any serious analysis to back up the doomsaying (apart from the reference to Beto, which was an outlier compared to recent elections). Take the margins Abbott won by in 2018 or Cornyn in 2020, and then compare with demographic trends maybe. What's that show by the numbers? If you think TX is turning blue no matter what, there's no point in worrying about fraud, at the national level at least, because the GOP effectively has no path to victory without TX.

the more expensive the car, the faster the depreciation. Take months to find a 3-4 yearold one because there are many ou there that are lowish mles and great condition. Any brand. If I were looking today I would search for a Genesis sedan.
I was looking at a lease return GLS-63 since new they are $130k+ and if you look well enough can find one in the low 60s.
What makes this work despite the potential of being a high maintenance cost vehicle is that it is a vanity car and the wealthy person who had it is unloading it because one can't just show up with a three year old luxury car. Also the AMG part of it make it highly unlikely that this was given to the wine Mom or the maid to drive around and pick up the kids from the academy.
The hand built engine and almost religious service intervals makes it a good buy for those who want to drop large loot on something that gets 17MPG on the highway.

This is an interesting strategy. While it would be great to jettison the entire GOP and start again - and I would like to - we need to have a rational strategy to change the party.
Starting a new party will be incredibly difficult. You may get some help from Dems because they'll use them as a stalking horse to get rid of the GOP themselves, so you'll have help getting on the ballot in some states, but it will cost a lot of money. Expect any money raised to have a significant portion of it grifted away.
Target the entire GOP, and the ones you don't pick off will be emboldened to screw the base more. You need them scared. Pick off the weakest ones, and you put fear into the others. Rinse and repeat every cycle. Every cycle.
Need to think about this some.

I have come to peace with the knowledge that the former United States is a Communist Country and will remain that way until the economic reset and then it will get far worse.
That is at the national level. We may have a few more years before the worst part of it hits mainly because our overlords are stupid, dysfunctional and lazy but even more important is that they will have intramural rivals, palace intrigue and purging of immediate threats to ultimate power.
While they are screwing around with that level of housecleaning, I want to find an honest sheriff who will likely continue to win continual community support.
Then they may become organized enough to martyr me because of my faith. But at least I'll be able to enjoy some things until then.

I was in a technical support AFSC that had little opportunity for glory in the AF so came across very few ring knockers except at a distance. Much more ROTC and a few mustangs. AF had already gotten rid of Warrant Officers by the time I joined.
The WO's that I knew growing up were stand up guys and in my father's various army units.

IIRC some high-Hispanic counties along the Rio Grande went big for Trump. The man really broke all the usual models and just went for supporters. And lo and behold, he actually got them!! "But we can't win the Black and Hispanic vote!', cried the GOPe. To which I must respond as George Washington said to Charles Lee. "You damned poltroon, you never tried!" If Texas Republicans or Conservative whatevers run like trump, they will win and Texas will remain free. If they run like GOPe losers they will be losers, and Texas won't be free. Easy as that, really.

The Republican Texans could do more to protect the state's political heritage. No one thinks Texas is more conservative today than it was 20 years ago. Sure it is not easy, you want people to want to move to your state. Ask PA or upstate NY about people abandoning the place.
But Texas is a concern. If the politics there were more like Oklahoma, I would feel better. I still think Texas will keep its traditions but then again, in a million years, i would not have predicted GA of today.

309 "We're, checks debt clock, currently at 27.8 Trillion dollars in debt, we will zoom past 40 trillion before the year is out."
I'm still convinced this is what will end the union. Dollar collapses and what's left to bind us to a federal government or other states. Nothing. Then you'll see the big reset.
Posted by: lowandslow at January 13, 2021 11:05 PM (qH6FZ)
This may sound hard to believe, but what's coming is going to be much greater than a collapse of the union. First, recall that the dollar is not simply a reserve currency, it is the de-facto currency behind the vast majority of transactions world wide, and there is no viable replacement in sight. When we go down, everyone goes down with us, even China.
I think we will see a world wide, civilizational collapse. Not just the collapse of our government, but the collapse of almost every government in existence, simultaneously. And then, war, because war always follows events like that. Curiously, it appears to be about time, since this seems to happen every 1500 years. (5th century AD, 10th century BC)

-----------
It's certainly true. They're so busted that they can't keep broadcasting everywhere. The official reason was a lack of travelers watching them, but I'm sure the real reason is they're not getting the $$$ anymore. At least we have that win, as the official fake news network runs aground in the red ink shoals.

I was in a technical support AFSC that had little opportunity for glory in the AF so came across very few ring knockers except at a distance. Much more ROTC and a few mustangs. AF had already gotten rid of Warrant Officers by the time I joined.
The WO's that I knew growing up were stand up guys and in my father's various army units.

Whig: unless you are a pilot in the AF, there is little opportunity for any glory at all
I also knew WOs growing up- my dad was a pilot in the army and the dudes that worked for him were WOs. Great guys; drank hard, flew hard, got shit done. The warrants of today's army? Meh. Their reputation is eschewing work, shamming, and trying to convince everyone of their superior "technical knowledge." Very few have impressed me. One went so far as to tell me as a CW4 he was a "field grade warrant." This struck me as most unusual as i had never heard of such a nomenclature. So i said, "field grade, huh chief? Okay." And proceeded to get a coffee.

Thank you, whig. It means a lot to me to be the step daddy of the modern day Patriot system. I can honestly say that I've made flying or riding in an airplane a death sentence if Patriot is looking for you. Against ballistic thrests, a 10cm aim point accuracy, over 100 kilometers slant range distant, at closing velocities approach___ 8000 meters per second ain't bad either.
Everything that I reported as needing fixed, or changed, got upgraded after GW1. I got to be the warrant for the test battery for all the upgrades between 90 and 92, when i resigned. Then i wrote the requirements for today's Patriot between 92 and 95. Now, i just do systems engineering on today's stuff and train junior engineers to do the same.

re officers serving as enlisted men. I understand the sentiment. I also came from a family of officers but served as enlisted. Some of the people I respected most were NCO's.
But some officers have served as enlisted men. We had one family friend who was an infantryman in Korea and an officer aviator in Vietnam. We also had a close friend who became a Major but to us, he was always "Gunny".
I think in the end the real issue is training. You require the most from officers and enlisted, you get the best. You start teaching SJW theory, and weed out those who are outdated, and you get what you get.

Almost no one seems to realize that the only reason CNN was in airports was because CNN paid THEM to allow them to be on the stations. (and then they used the fake viewership numbers from people they paid to watch them to boost their claimed audience share) It's been a long running scam, and the reason no other network would get in was because they all said "are you crazy? We're not going to pay people to pretend to watch us."
So, CNN ran out of money for that particular bit of idiocy, finally. Well it served it's purpose, they might even let it die now.

422, Good question. A lot of the gyrations of the current economy come from a fiat currency effectively as it has no intrinsic value other than a medium of exchange. That is why fiat currencies eventually fail and are replaced. To do that, you pretty much have to some kind of way to restore trust to the currency--backing it with something of intrinsic value is one way to do it. I have formally studied economic theory back in the day including econometrics and macro economics. Over the years through experience, I have realized that micro economics can more or less be modeled but most of the assumptions underlying macro economics are simply fictions dressed up with numbers. Glad I left that field of study for something a bit more real.
One value of energy to back a currency is that it is just easier than trying to find gold deposits and control them across the globe. Given enough atomic energy,one can actually transmute and make something like gold.

Nearly *all* of those people are now Dems or allies, telling us how bad we were to simply throw in the towel and say that at least an MOR that fights is better than a squish.
And the first response out of all these people telling us we had to tolerate moderates is that "Trump's NOT CONSERVATIVE!".
And they all became Democrats from there, even in such a time that the Democrats have never been more unhinged and destructive.
It's bullshit.

But for some reason gold has always been desired by man, there are some things that can't be explained easily but they are truths. Sure there are real word uses for gold, but really, in the end, it is desirable because people want it.
If you manufacture gold like an alchemist, that gold will not be valued as highly. It is the same with diamonds and other gems. Some can be manufactured and be called x.y.or z. But those in the business know the difference and they are priced accordingly.

1 309 This may sound hard to believe, but what's coming is going to be much greater than a collapse of the union. First, recall that the dollar is not simply a reserve currency, it is the de-facto currency behind the vast majority of transactions world wide, and there is no viable replacement in sight. When we go down, everyone goes down with us, even China.

Well, one more heavy winter in the mountains and heavy spring rains and the big dam goes and PRC suddenly has its hands full, with its big moment wasted. Life can be funny that way...
You're right though. If the economy crashes and the dollar loses value because the Harris regime goes full Venezuela or the mixed-lines civil war is endangering commerce, we will take the developed world with us in a great down spiral. In 1929 our Great Depression hit Europe and Japan hard. The PRC ought to be telling their bought & paid for politicians in D.C. to go easy, and make sure we can still buy their slave labor crap. If not, then they'll have worse trouble than us. Don't know if the Harris regime will listen though...

weapons, commanded by a 4-star with lots of combat experience, and the
'state of emergency' they're operating under runs from two days ago (the
11th) through the weekend after Inauguration Day (the 24th). That would
make a lot of sense if Trump is going to be reinaugurated on the 20th,
and doing it in a big public ceremony to rub the criminal Dems' noses in
it. He would need 20,000 armed men to fend off the screaming mobs of
Antifa freaks who would be swarming downtown D.C., and it might take an
extra 4 days to crush them.

451 Jack Burton,
Oh yes the pilots in command. Our unit was involved in the big Organizational Readiness Inspection and we were at a northern tier base in the Winter about when it started with freezing rain then to sleet, then to snow with 70 mph winds.
The ground was frozen solid and our unit was to place temper tents for the flight crews for the inspection. The pilots insisted on putting the heated and cooled tents on the flight line. We told them they were nuts but the command went out and the tents were placed on the flight line as requested weighted down with sandbags because we could not obviously stake to concrete. The wind fired up and some of the tents went sailing down the runway, others had their metal frames so twisted from the winds that they were junk. Our commander did pretty well because he insisted that the order be in writing. The commanders of the wing, not so much.

Sheeeeit, elections? Man these shithead lefties have been giddy about what they just pulled off. Gotta give it to the f'ers, job well done.
They're going to be like kids with a cool new found toy with the method of fraud they used. It'll be, "hey guys!!, let's try it here, here, over there and down over there".
Elections? Yeah, I remember those things.

Biden and Pelosi are paid Chinese agents, or both? Someone at QV pointed
out that FISA works for both parties. By lying about Carter Page,
saying he was a Russian agent when he was working with the CIA to keep an eye on a couple of sleazy Russians, they were able to listen to his phone calls, and anyone who talked to him or talked to anyone who talked to him. Hunter Biden has boasted of knowing "the fucking spy chief of China, man!". Trump can listen in on the calls of anyone who talks to anyone who talks to Hunter on the phone. That's all the Dems and half the Reps in D.C.

From a technical, legal standpoint, one must ask permission to arrange the work of a composer/songwriter, in advance. There is a printed form for it in which you describe your intentions for the work.
You can always ask for permission after the fact, but that doesn't always work out so well.

$40k average price? Lol. Depending on the rust situation where you are, go find yourself a nice Crown Vic, Town Car or Grand Marquis. Should be able to find one with around 100k in pretty good shape for $4-5k. Then maybe another $2k tops to fix everything. Then keep changing the oil, it will go 300-400k and get a little over 20 mpg. You will also be able to see out of it, get a more comfortable ride, fix a lot of little problems yourself, and pay no comprehensive insurance. You might have to get something fixed every once in a while, but think that every month you don't that's 600-1000 you saved.

he ground was frozen solid and our unit was to place temper tents for the flight crews for the inspection. The pilots insisted on putting the heated and cooled tents on the flight line. We told them they were nuts but the command went out and the tents were placed on the flight line as requested weighted down with sandbags because we could not obviously stake to concrete. The wind fired up and some of the tents went sailing down the runway, others had their metal frames so twisted from the winds that they were junk. Our commander did pretty well because he insisted that the order be in writing. The commanders of the wing, not so much.

I don't care. He *tried* to make it about Reagan.
He failed. Probably because he has the same dim understanding of politics as most progs. The progs are coming a lot closer than Reagan ever did. Fuck Carpenter.

Carpenter's message wasn't wrong, he was just directing it at the wrong guy. Okay from the Eighties perspective it seems like libtard tinfoil hat territory. These days though.... the movie seems as prophetic as Demolition Man. The wealthy elite are liberal-limo Democrats or country-club Republicans, out of touch and uncaring about the proletariat they claim to champion. Corrupt in body, mind, and soul, they truly are dead inside. They control the media message, distracting us and concealing the truth that would make any red-blooded American (or Canadian import
) immediately try to stop them. But we've all gotten the special glasses, and we can see them for what they are. They Live.

President Trump is not going to be re- inaugurated. The problem at hand is the problem we face. I wish I had an answer but I do not. I have said all along we lost the culture and the real battles are at the school board and local levels. The only way to move forward is to fix the voting system and the only way to do that is to win victories and decide on voting law. It seems insurmountable because Repubs either gave up or got rolled on the issue.
If we are going to do this and keep a semblance of America, it is going to take hard work. The Left did it somehow. Maybe their way is easier as people naturally align with failed Leftist policies. But still the way out of this is political victories, no matter how small and where.

And that would never happen.
Because for Lord knows what reason the cops have sided with their own enemy over people who vote for law and order.
Saying that the Capitol was stormed to "reverse an election" is like saying that statues were pulled down as an implementation of defunding the police.
People just don't think things through.

*IF* the Capitol siegers had (unarmed?) forced the House and Senate to a vote to reverse the EC, *nobody* would have considered that vote legitimate in the aftermath.
And there would *be* an aftermath, because the military hadn't been called out yet, and it *should* be called out in the case of an (unarmed?) coup.
People retreated with one shot dead and tear gas. They weren't ready for a "take over". But the impressionable can no longer think.

Given enough atomic energy,one can actually transmute and

Old science major here (chemistry). Reminds me of the "why can't you just synthesize cocaine question". Well I could, tropane ring notwithstanding, however it would cost magnitudes more than letting the plant synthesize it for and then merely extracting/refining. You do realize the amount of energy, the equipment (collider and miles of real estate it sits on) that would require, right? You'd have to sell a small a country to pay what it would cost to produce a gram of gold that way.

Posted by: Lemmiwinks
Commercial contracts can have provisions that allow for termination for image reason so long as that isn't race/gender/etc.-based. Depending on the contracts and what has to happen to completely separate NYC from Trump, either party may have to initiate litigation. But also remember, it's not Trump, it's a corporation that's being terminated. I doubt he's a party to any of this.

If you planned to take over the Capitol--don't you know there's going to be teargas?
When Antifa anticipated tear gas they got themselves gas masks--and yet teargassing a good proportion of the people in Washington DC that day sent those people home.
It's stupid.

548 President Trump is not going to be re- inaugurated. The problem at hand is the problem we face. I wish I had an answer but I do not. I have said all along we lost the culture and the real battles are at the school board and local levels. The only way to move forward is to fix the voting system and the only way to do that is to win victories and decide on voting law. It seems insurmountable because Repubs either gave up or got rolled on the issue.
If we are going to do this and keep a semblance of America, it is going to take hard work. The Left did it somehow. Maybe their way is easier as people naturally align with failed Leftist policies. But still the way out of this is political victories, no matter how small and where.
Posted by: Quint at January 14, 2021 12:20 AM (FWnux)
Quint, you're right, of course. I am not so hopeless about our period on defense. I think for the next few years we can fruitfully tie up and delay some of the bad policies through lawfare and just plain disobedience, and I think the red states are going to be the primary leaders in this area. This is not over on January 20.

IF that had happened, and I am fully willing to stipulate it was not likely... especially after McConnell and Pelosi agreed to rules that defaulted to the fraud if the Senate and House could not agree... it absolutely would have been legitimate to over half the country. If the fraudulent EC was not accepted, it would have either a) defaulted to a contingent election as laid out in the Constitution or b) resulted in an actual investigation of the fraud. The protesters were not the ones committing a coup that day. The congress inside the Capitol was.

See, I never knew about "stop the steal". I was waiting to see what would be established in the court, and without the court hearing any of it, I still don't know what *could* have been established.
So, I wasn't down with the last minute ditch to invalidate the EC vote.
But when the Demedia tried to turn something a whole lot less violent than the riots of last year into something a whole lot more grave, and the Republicans turned on Trump to blame him for an "insurrection", that's when I noticed the world re-entering my sphere of expectation.
The GOP is rife with squishes. It has long been. And for whatever reason, they get more squishes in the door all the time.

re: the new car article and inflation; I saw some piece saying "officially" that inflation was no worry for years - and yet it's already happening, it's just disguised so that the indexes look good. It's a lot like faking the covid numbers, they put out th inflation number they want, but it only exists to cover up what's actually taking place.
now if it was just a little bit it could be covered up without doing much damage, the problem is that we're now at the point where it will begin to accelerate geometrically.

Doesn't matter. If the media wants to sell that it's Trump supporters, it "will be" Trump supporters.
Sullivan was clearly a bad actor and even tweeted out his embedding in the "enemy" ranks.
But all of that will go unnoticed, it seems.
Interestingly, I read a lawyer's argument that another Supreme Court decision states that Congress cannot outsource a private company to suppress the rights that they cannot suppress themselves. The special powers they gave to social media companies, may make Twitter and Facebook arguable as government standings acting to suppress the free exchange of ideas.
The SCOTUS has accepted thinner arguments, from what I've seen. That would not make "private company" quite the impenetrable shield that private absolutists think it is. Because T and FB as simply *not* playing by the rules of the rest of the market.

The vile vegetable (I won't type the name) would not have made it to deputy minister for youth affairs in the Chuvash Autonomous Oblast of the USSR. This cretin will be the president I've spent more time around - by far - of any in my lifetime. Just as you probably assume, he's a vapid, nasty, and as VP incredibly and crudely corrupt non-entity.

I do not and cannot agree with you if you are saying it was preferable that the fraud be allowed to stand. That has left us on the brink of civil war.

Stalin's Russian was classic Georgian accent - slurred endings, dropped endings, no palatalization. And he had a mousey, squeaky little voice (weird, for the 2nd greatest killer in human history).
Gorbachev speaks clearly, Putin speaks clearly and simply (and his German is good).
Cannot recall Andropov's speaking voice, or Chernenko's. Brezhnev spoke like he looked - dull and oppressive. Khrushchev had some color and style, brought some a bit of muzhik (peasant) flavor to things.

Obama made fun of him all the time for good reason. He served his purpose to legitimize Obama and then after that, he was the joke he has always been. TJM predicted Biden would get the nod and I did not accept it. Sure they all suck but no way I thought that guy would get in.
At least Obama was a false promise. You could apply unto him all your wishes and dreams even though he earned none of them. But getting exited about Biden is another level really. That is the thing about all of this that makes no sense at all. If I were required to make a case the election was not legit, I would simply say, "look at this guy".
not saying the election was stolen. I can't say that because I simply don't know. I do know there was cheating and I do know none of this makes sense. There should be ways to verify this but by design, there are not.

Axeman the orwellian distortion and factual inversion about the Capitol festivities is stunning - it's a new low, after decades of decline. This includes of course the absurd slander that Trump in any way incited any illegal activity.
That it has such traction - even with truly repulsive and ridiculous Beltway types - is sickening and scary.

563 545:I do worry about Trump fans who seem to be a little too eager to start armed resistance, without even waiting a week to see if Trump has anything up his sleeve. He likes to quote Sun Tzu about counterfeiting weakness to deceive the enemy and then striking like lightning, and someone's found an old tape of him saying he'd like to "lose everything" so he could find out who his true friends are. Hmmmm. As I said, we shall soon see.

I talk tough about Civil war 2: Dominion Boogaloo because I do honestly think that without Trump pulling a rabbit out of a hat we're going to get the Leftists on our case 24/7 until something snaps and the shit goes down. And I do honestly think that voting schemes in a Dominion state is a big waste of time without some serious action being taken to remove said machines. But yeah, right now I'm also thinking to be patient, watchful, waiting...for a rabbit to come out of a hat. After all, he's done it a few times in the past 4 years! Until it's January 21 (and maybe past it), he's my president, whom I trust to do right by us, because no one else inside the Beltway has so far.

You're saying "convinced". That's not the nightmare scenario the Demedia complex is presenting. I always look at the exact scenario presented by the opposition to assess the reasonability of their claims. Without that, you are just sneaking in your own assumptions again.
We agree--especially from some of the first-hand accounts that I heard from people at the rally. There was no attempt for Trump to be "installed". I haven't seen any evidence that fits that. Nonetheless, I think that's what the whole "insurrection" claim implies.
Government is not about what *I* prefer, so my decisions aren't about what *I* prefer. I can *vote* for my preference and I can *speak* for it. Part of dismantling the fevered dream of the opposition is *speaking* against the fevered dream.

"we caught 'em", I'm fairly sure, referred to the coup plotters of the FBI, DOJ, etc. Trump used this phrase going back long before the election, maybe even years before.
And with all the fun and joy of the last 2 months, it seems everyone's forgotten about that epochal *actual* assault on the constitution and rule of law.
And it's one of the enormous blows to the country from Trump being removed from office.
By far the greatest and most important govt. scandal in our history will result in nearly Zero consequences, even public knowledge of it. Weaponizing the most carefully safeguarded powers of the federal govt. for political purposes - continuing that even into a campaign to hobble or remove a sitting president - that's a new baseline for the power-mad authoritarians. Just as mass mail-in ballots with zero security measures, and brazen violation of state election laws.

I went to look something up and came across well, I am not sure if it was meant to be satire or a serious scam. Become a vampire.
Here is a snippet:
Being a vampire has certain limitations, but it can also be a ton of fun. Your extra strengths and abilities can make you successful in almost every endeavor you participate in and before you know it the money and acquaintances will come streaming in. You can build wealth and gain prestige and notoriety and attempt things you may never have even considered as a human. One thing you will definitely have more of is time.
There's more. There's even an email address.

Gorbachev was a lawyer and a shiny rising star in the party, hence his ascent to power at the relatively young age (for contemporary Soviet experience). Very sharp. Don't recall the disdain from the arts or intellectual set, but that would almost be required, as Gorby was still the top commie, however reform-minded he was.
But when Van Cliburn played "Moscow Nights" on the piano in the East Room during Gorbachev's first Washington visit, Raisa sang along, and it was clear Gorby couldn't even fake anything past the second line. Was watching it live on TV and cracked up when he started the mumble thing. So some gaps in popular cultural background were indicated, for sure.

I am very comfortable saying it even if you are not. Enough fraudulent votes have been directly identified in more than enough states to turn the election. Quite frankly fraud under the guise of unconstitutional rule changes moved far more votes than necessary to decide the election in far more states than were the subject of law suits. MY state of Virginia for instance. If only legal votes that were not declared void by black letter law were counted, Trump won Virginia handily. Instead the Democrat government illegally changed rules and then ignored the Constitutional mandate that no ballots were to be counted or canvassed in secret by denying observers access to counting rooms. You can bet I feel very comfortable saying fraud decided this election. That should not be the standard though. Tolerating any fraud at all lead us here to a place where one party figured out who to create unlimited fraudulent votes.

We had a shooter in Las Vegas kill 55 "rubes" and there was a fair amount of hand-wringing, but nobody has made the FIB divulge information about what exactly happened.
And it seems like Washington is waiting for the memory hole to open up.
I didn't see as much alarm about that as there is about January 6th.

You have no understanding of the founding of this
country if you think the rabble was not part of making and sustaining
it. You also seem to have no concept that that "moral legitimacy crap"
as you put it is what has made this nation great and unique.
Posted by: redbanzai
I realize all that. Again, "moral legitimacy" is simply a highbrow version of, are you ok with what's going on? A government you do not want governing you is illegitimate, to you. That's kind of universal. Rights come down to whether they can be exercised. If they can't, you don't have them. You may have a claim to them, an argument for them, but you don't have them. So we come down to, can the government you want to govern you enable the country to produce such that it can satisfy a certain minimal demand by the people. Revolutionary/activist governments rarely succeed in providing or setting up the conditions to provide because those are antithetical to their raison d'tre.

Gorby was loved by leftists in America and Europe. He was the "man who lost Russia" to others and is still thought of this way. It didn't take long for him to start going after the USA and others and blaming his failure on others. He realized the people that counted were pissed and the left in San Francisco and DC did not matter.
The Left says he ended the cold war. Yeah, just like Pemberton "ended" the siege at Vicksburg.

You may be prepared to accept a fraud and so will others here and elsewhere for a variety of reasons. Many people will not and the government will become increasingly jackbooted trying to force people to acceptance it. It will not work and it will end badly.

Obama rejected how much the Republicans "provoked" Putin. I have a Brookings Inst article from ~2010 that explains that the Obama admin saw the guy they have now turned into a Scooby-doo villain as a "pragmatist", and that the Republicans were queering the deal.
That's what the "Reset" was about, to show the allies-since Clinton made it official, that we wanted to work with them. The Reset lifted all sorts of tech bans and allowed our information technology to freely flow into Russia. The OA rewarded tech sponsorships and mentoring to create a "Silicon Valley in Russia".
They fucked up royally in putting all this technology into the hands of Putin. And given Russia such a catch-up in technology.
And then they wanted to blame it on Trump. (But this is what the Dems try to do with all their monumental screwups).

I know there was fraud. I also know that i can't personally add up the tally and say it threw the election. I am well aware of what went on in VA. VA has been owned by the Left for years now and they spent their time doing everything they could to swing elections.
All voter fraud should be prosecuted but I know they have spent years making it so that will not happen. And the reality is Virginia has changed, the country has changed. If we only focus on fraud and not the underlying issue, we will be ceding way too much to those who want to ruin what has come before.

I flirted briefly with the idea of getting into .32s, because there are about 29 different calibers that can be used in some of the guns (OK, just 2 or 3, but still). And I figured that maybe the Boss would find a .32's mild recoil appealing. Hmm, why did I not do it? Probably because I was becoming leery of having too many guns that were out of production, and old, for reasons of maintenance and longer term support.
Long not-seen Moron retropox has an amazing collection of .32s. Of course it's an actual collection. I was thinking something easy to shoot and reload.

I would like to interject here and say that the first national government we had was the Articles of Confederation. It was about as far from the Georgian government as Congress could get and still function as a deliberative and legislative body. But it failed because just about everything we accept as good and proper national government today was nearly all in the hands of the (dis)united States. So there had to be enumerated and respected rights, but the new nation had to be able to function and make "e plurbis unum" a reality. The Constitution was never about protecting the individual in all ways or empowering the national government. It was always intended to be a balance between the two positions. Finding that balance while dealing with the needs of the present age has been the task for over two centuries.

It speaks to the lock step ability of totalitarians to speak as one. Hearteningly, it also shows how little control they have over the actual flow of information that they seek to monopolize. After a week of demonizing Trump and conservatives, Trump's approval ratings in the press's own polls plummeted from 52% to... 48% (and then 49% apparently today). They do not control the vertical and they do not control the horizontal no matter how much they lust for that power they might have.

It was never an Op. If it was an actual Op, that storming part would have been a first wave distraction, while the second, third, fourth, and fifth teams would be accomplishing their goals. What's funny is they know that, that's why you see them going this was worse than 9-11. They fucking know what a bitch hand they had that day.
Robert Barnes talked about it on Viva Frei's channel a few days before it happened and then the day. He said that the mood in DC was one of abject fear.

The standard for calling an election into question is not a beyond-reasonable-doubt demonstration of X votes being tossed out or changed so that the official tally has a different winner. That's not why a House race in NC was tossed 2 years ago, that's not how a House primary was tossed in NY state this past summer. And so on.
In those races, and usually at state level, you literally re-do the election - everyone gets a do-over.
Presidential's different. Thus the multiple fail-safe mechanisms (state legislatures, Congress, and the added but not unreasonable one of courts).
And that's why I've been saying we have had a *comprehensive* systemic collapse here. None of the safeguards designed to deal with hinky presidential election processes were used - they were barely even dusted off. Each one of them discredited itself spectacularly, from state legislatures to SCOTUS to Congress.

Because the election was completely corrupt from the beginning. The onslaught of the CCP round-eyes is overwhelming.
Look at this latest House nonsense for supporting evidence.
Trump has every right to protect his family and himself. He can only do so much by himself.

I know there was fraud. I also know that i can't personally add up the tally and say it threw the election. I am well aware of what went on in VA. VA has been owned by the Left for years now and they spent their time doing everything they could to swing elections.

There was another argument I made when the Dems were going apoplectic about November.
Gore never recovered enough votes to change the outcome in any of the 3 completed counts, or the projected outcome of the 4th recount.
So "not significantly enough" was not a principle that was used here. Instead, it was: if a single dimpler or stray marker, or a Democratic voter who simply "forgot" to vote for Gore was not counted when they "intended" it for Gore was an *individual* disenfranchisement of *that* voter.
So, that argument can carry that if somebody voted for themselves and their dead relative, then that illegal vote for the dead relative canceling out your vote is a single act of disenfranchising you.

the .32 is a nice round and the guns are mostly under appreciated as "mouse guns" I personally have sold a few guns in my day but almost never a mouse. Anyway, some of the smallest legit firearms in existence are .32s. If I were to give you some advice, I would look into Fiocchi 73 grain FMJ as a standard round and also check out .32 "rim lock" regarding hollow points.
it is not the perfect round, or even a good fit for most. But for certain circumstances, it is a very viable weapon.

The simple arithmatic tells us it was more like over half of the voters, skippy. All disenfranchised. The states that voted clean? Fucked. The states that cheated? Gold.
At some point, and it will come sooner rather than later, this will become a true shooting war. You cannot hope to govern over half the country by revoking their vote and calling them stupid. That can't last.

If you manufacture gold like an alchemist, that gold will not be valued as highly. It is the same with diamonds and other gems. Some can be manufactured and be called x.y.or z. But those in the business know the difference and they are priced accordingly.

Valid and Honorable, even though his are all in .32 ACP chambering, and mostly all a century or more aged. You want a .32 with a purpose, go with the .327 Federal Magnum, likely in a Ruger revolver. Now you're good to go with that cartridge, or the .32 H&R Magnum, or the .32 Special, or the pathetically weak .32 S&W.
That .327 Fed Mag will fuck some shit up something above the hottest .38 Special +P and the venerable .357 S&W Magnum. .327 Fed Mag is not something to be trifled with. Taurus and S&W made bunches chambered for it too, IIRC.

You say Virginia has changed and the nation has changed. I say prove it. The fact that they had to cheat as big is they did (2.7 million illegal absentee votes in Virginia alone) indicates you are wrong.

I've seen some flawed arithmetic as well. And I didn't say it wasn't more widespread, I just said that you can reuse the same argument as Gore did.
If you use the "significant" argument, Gore failed that one: there were not significant enough to *change the outcome*. Yet the same people still want to bleat "Selected, not elected" (which is stupid because Bush won the Presidency by EC the way that every president has won the presidency). The SCOTUS simply overruled an inferior court that was keeping certification and slate selection open, just like Trump was asking. And the Rehnquist court ruled that it was violating its own Constitution to do so, and interfering with an executive function. Once the Florida supreme was barred from further interference, the SoS certified the vote that was there and the slate was chosen for Bush.

friend who was an infantryman in Korea and an officer aviator in
Vietnam. We also had a close friend who became a Major but to us, he was
always "Gunny".
Jimmy Stewart, the actor, enlisted in the Army as a private E1 before Pearl Harbor. He got a commission because he had a commercial pilot's license. He piloted 20 combat missions over Europe in a B24. He became a squadron commander, and was promoted to full bird colonel before the war ended. He retired as a one star general. Got a lot of respect for that man.

If you believe the narrative of the piss-stream media, a guy with a helmet had his helmet knocked off from a shovel-pass of a fire extinguisher (it wasn't swung and it wasn't hurled) and later went to the office and died.
It was a stupid ass thing to even shovel-pass an (empty?) fire extinguisher canister at a cop, but all the same, it lacked a lot of ferocity that people have tried to read into this.
I think there seems to be still too much fog-of-war around the 6th to even be able to distinguish things.

Biden got more votes than Obama's Landslide in 2008? And yet the Ballot Runoff (Votes for Lower offices) all went Republican's ways? Bitch Please. They won ALL the Competitive House races, and lost the Senate because for SOME FUCKING REASON they are letting Stacy Abrams run Elections in Georgia.
I'm not going to Fed post.

I am absolutely convinced Dominion had a big roll and no one is going to change that can of worms in 2022.

i agree. I might have been misunderstood on this and that is on me. I know there was fraud. I also know the Dems only get elected to facilitate more Dems in office. I think this can not stand and no rock should be unturned.
But there is an underlying issue and we need to face it. The schools are pushing out America hating lefties every year and they have been doing this for decades. It is just catching up with us now and the fraud in GA could have never worked even a few years ago. They work together, more leftists and then some thumbs on the scales. My argument is we need to work on both, because either one can overwhelm us in the end.

Is there any reason that any Dominion machine anywhere on U.S. shores should survive long enough to be used in the 2022 mid-terms?
There's maybe a point where Irish Democracy has to step up and be a French Resistance? I mean, without the Gauloises, disdain and Gallic shrugs, of course.

648 And that's why I've been saying we have had a *comprehensive* systemic collapse here. None of the safeguards designed to deal with hinky presidential election processes were used - they were barely even dusted off. Each one of them discredited itself spectacularly, from state legislatures to SCOTUS to Congress.
=====
Well see, the Presidential election got all the safeguards because Madison & Hamilton knew that a potential Caesar would go for the presidency, the one true national office. The system collapse, it should be pointed out, was as much a part of the corrupt election as the Dominion and mail-in ballot fraud. The safeguards were all invoked in order, and somehow were all found to be wanting or inapplicable. In a way, the safeguards didn't fail, because they weren't tried. No one wanted to take a stand and support the true recount or challenge the certification of said non-recounted total. It was a fraud, everyone knew it was a fraud, but the fraud was held up to be a legitimate victory. It's not a system collapse, it was human malfeasance, which doesn't bode well for 2022 or 2024.

Jimmy Stewart, the actor, enlisted in the Army as a
private E1 before Pearl Harbor. He got a commission because he had a
commercial pilot's license. He piloted 20 combat missions over Europe in
a B24. He became a squadron commander, and was promoted to full bird
colonel before the war ended. He retired as a one star general. Got a

Levin was reading from somewhere it appears the likes of Nanzi, Chucky, the Capitol police and the Democrats Law enforcement known as the FBI all knew of Antifa websites calling for violence at the rally. Trump on the other hand wasn't warned of the Jan 6 event.

It wouldn't really surprise me, from the "An idea/myth is burning our cities to the ground and sieging the city of Portland nightly" crowd.
I mean it was just so fucking disingenuous. Fredo and LeMon told us flatly that Antifa had a proud heritage of punching Nazis to the point that if they punched you, you could *only* assume you were a Nazi.
And then a couple of Dems dissembled about a "myth" or "idea" and the press took that over-claiming there was no organization, where they had *claimed* before it was an upstanding, if violent, organization.
So suddenly, to back Joe nobody knew about this "antifa" thing.

This would make sense, even though there's no way to verify it. The speed with which the word got out about insurrection and incitement to violence, and the massive amount of utterly uncritical agreement defies a simple explanation. A ragtag group of misfits gets let into the capitol to do...nothing, but within a day everyone is practicing message discipline, lighting hair on fire, and calling for impeachment?
Damn, here I go conspiracy theorizing, but damn, things are surreal right now.

Good evening, horde. Have we talked about the Los Angeles DA and his contest with Chesa Boudin of San Fran to get as many criminals on the street as possible?
Maybe you remember the walk-up cop shooting that happened last September in which a lady cop was shot in the face and miraculously survived. Well, the would-be killer will not get any special enhancements for great bodily injury or use of a gun, meaning that even if he gets the book thrown at him, he'll be eligible for elder parole in 20 years.
Similar leniency for someone who decapitated 2 kids.
I contacted the DA of my county yesterday and asked whether she intends to grant jurisdiction to this bastard in any multi-county cases and amazingly, I got the answer I wanted. Cali DAs are suing the bastard. It's curious to me my local DA referred to him as "the elected District Attorney of Los Angeles."
Nice work, Angelenos (assuming they actually elected him, but I'm not cutting them any slack). I predict a bright future for this bastard, no sarc.

It was also largely peaceful. Shit, the cops were giving directions and the local restaurants were selling coffee etc as it was a cold ass day.
What happened at the Capitol was inexcusable. My guess is there were antifa types that wanted to stir trouble, some on the so called right that need to get a major grip and maybe some valium, and some that just got stirred up at the wrong time in the wrong place. Even if all that is true, you are talking what, .2 percent of the people who went to watch the president speak? Not 1 percent, but .2 percent. And still you have people defaming all that went there. That is un American and criminal libel and slander.

They did a pretty good job taking the authors to task. And whenever the Righties chimed in, it didn't take them long to fold like cheap suits and start name-calling and going way off track. There were a couple of Righties who did an okay job, but it was a bloodbath overall. Depressing.
The Left has such an ideological stranglehold on Academia that were not getting anywhere near the amount of quality people we used to.

people, and Burn shit all summer. Some people were idiots and decided
that they could do the same. They are Morons, and they are facing
Federal Charges and going to do time in Pound me in the Ass prison.

If you or anyone you know was a part of this, talk to a lawyer and see if you can work something out.

The latest GA fraud count from early Jan was something like 450,000 illegal votes.
The Biden margin was about 11,000 votes.
Underage voters. Dead voters. Voters that moved to a different county and did not re-register. Out of state voters. Criminals with a record and no ability to legally vote.
All of the contested states have similar stories, and the proven illegal votes are many, many times of what the margin of victory was.
And for those that say "you can't go back to each vote". No, but you can see the margin of victory in each individual precinct, for the weeks of early voting, and the day of voting, and then the Pallets of Ballots that came in at 98% Biden in the wee hours of the next morning.
Just take the massive late night vote and apply the precinct percent to it. Trump will handily win every state, plus a couple more, including Virginia. Courts have done this before.

Hadn't thought about it in years but back in the 80's we had a gunstore and sold a lot of Ravens and Jennings made by Davis Industries. Cheap guns, you couldn't pay me to shoot one, but half the ladies in our northeast PA coal town had one in their purse. One evening a guy came in with bandages on his face and right hand with a Raven he had recently bought. From what I could tell the top cartridge in the mag had exploded and blew the side out of the gun. He just wanted a replacement. I called Davis and after I explained the situation I was immediately connect to a lawyer asking about the extent of injury,etc, to which I replied you don't understand: the guy just wants a new gun. The lawyer ask where the damaged one was. I replied I have it and will send it to you. The replacement piece was sent immediately.

speaking by 1/2 hour, and the distance would take another chunk of time.
Heard a few eye witnesses on radio the mayhem was going on by the time
they got there from the rally.

A) It wasn't a riot by any stretch of the imagination. The people who would have made it a riot were remarkably well behaved because the crowd was policing their behavior. and B) The push to get into the Capitol started longer than half an hour before the president finished speaking. Trump was 45 minutes to an hour late starting his speech and I would estimate that the push at the Capitol started before Trump even started speaking.

What happened at the Capitol was inexcusable. My
guess is there were antifa types that wanted to stir trouble, some on
the so called right that need to get a major grip and maybe some valium,
and some that just got stirred up at the wrong time in the wrong place.
Even if all that is true, you are talking what, .2 percent of the
people who went to watch the president speak? Not 1 percent, but .2
percent. And still you have people defaming all that went there. That is
un American and criminal libel and slander.

@Rednbanzi Jurisdictions my friend, Jurisdictions. Kumala bailed out Rioters here in MN. In Other Blue States and Cities they strait up dropped charges for those Riots.
Good Luck arguing in front of a Federal Judge that State and Local Jurisdictions declining to charge State and Local Crimes has Jack fucking shit to do with you and your FEDERAL CHARGES.
Hell this is why they Freaked out when "Cheeto Hitler" brought in the Feds to bring Fed Charges to people in Portland fucking with a FEDERAL COURTHOUSE.
So Lets play a game. a Riot Game. In one Instance you Riot, take over and burn a Police Building and a shitload of Businesses in MPLS. You get arrested for some shit. I don't know what, but whatever. Do they have evidence you did what they charge you with? Probably not. Boosh! I'm ooot!
You Storm the Capitol while streaming it on Baked Alaska's Live Stream and Suddenly you are on Video or Pictured Kicking back at Pelosi's Desk. So let's look up the charges YOU HAVE WON!
Uncivil Law on youtube (He's a Conservative Lawyer) went through this whole thing on the 7th or 8th. These people are so deeply fucked it's horrible. For them.

Now do you understand why so many people hate lawyers with a passion? You could have helped, instead you did the opposite. Instead of clarity, you obfuscated.
I mistakenly thought we were on the same side of politics. That we both wanted a fair and just voting system.
Forget it, the two sets of laws we operate under will continue to degrade into street violence sooner than later. Most areas will be a bunch of south Chicagos. Unless of course, those people reside behind iron gates and armed guards.

I'm with redbanzai on what SHOULD have happened at the Capitol.
But, alas, she's wrong as to the timing.
It should have been the citizens of Georgia using baseball bats to pound in the taped over windows of the counting center, and not ONE OF THEM going home as regards to the "water main break".
Six other states should have had pissed off and armed Republican futhermuckers backing up the Vote Count Observers in their locales, too.
We're GOING to have to REQUIRE MMA type bouts in order to barely qualify future (R) observers to even attend.

I don't know, I guess these Special Directives don't make that much difference to wine moms and other average voters (although it probably does noticeably worsen the places that lower-income POCs live). Despite the great assist to criminals provided by Boudin et al, crime apparently is still low enough in blue cities that people don't factor it into their votes.

A lot of them can be readily identified, but voters just don't care. Primary challenges to incumbants don't work because voters see one name they recognize and have voted for for 30 years and the other is a nobody.
Even more informed voters don't want to admit that their previous votes were a mistake, so we just run into the "I hate Congress, but I'll happily re-elect my Congressman" effect.
--
Another problem is finding a competent candidate to challenge. We always seem to end up with amateurs or kooks. If you want to see the GOP fight tooth & nail against an opponent, see how they treat their own candidates that manage to primary an incumbent R.

Blonde, that's easy. While Trump did a great job with the economy, historically good, generationally good, the Democrats are mentally unable to grasp how to let our economy function and grow.

Re masking and lockdowns, I can't make up my mind between Biden/Harris wanting to 1) keep it up as it assists the managed decline of America, or 2) end it pronto and take credit for "rescuing the economy and restoring sanity."

Blonde, that's easy. While Trump did a great job with the economy, historically good, generationally good, the Democrats are mentally unable to grasp how to let our economy function and grow.

What happened at the Capitol was not only excusable, it was positively restrained given what congress was doing at the time.
Posted by: redbanzai the Southerner at January 14, 2021 02:17 AM (946rW)
on that we simply disagree. I laid out my plan and argument of how the Left has worked us. My view is not worth anymore than that of anyone else. I have not seen the footage from the Capitol building other than the poor woman who was killed. But I hear it is not good. Either way, Trump did not ask for that in any way and 99 percent of the people who attended would not have dreamed of doing that.
I get times are tough and there are few answers. But I still love this country with all its faults. Not sure how else to say it at this point. But we don't force people to vote a certain way with force. That is un American. Hell, they didn't even do that in the lead up to the Civil War.

Given Spongiform Joe's appointing lackwits, persons of no accomplishments, and race-obsessed dullards to his Cabinet, I'd say that the chances of rescuing the economy are slim to none.

That's why I put it in quotation marks. We'll be cutting back on purchases of food and clothing so we can pay twice as much for half the heating oil under Spongiform's Climate Rescue Accelerated Program (CRAP) and Democrats will be crowing about our post-Trump prosperity and productivity.

What are you even talking about with this. If you are talking about the storming of the Capitol, we really will have to disagree. They were perpetrating fraud and a stolen election. They should not have ever been free to do that. The fraud is what is un-American not the anger at the fraud.

Everyone kept waiting for the system to work because that is what conservatives have always done... they have worked within the laws and the system. And as each layer of supposed checks and balances failed, we said well surely this will be stopped by the next failsafe. Each of those failsafes proved to be not only corrupt but blatntly so. So we are left with where we are.

Even if the press was honest... which they are not... they were not freaking there. They apparently were reporting as if they were there. CNN, for instance reported "looking at a crowd of about 500" when reporting on a crowd that was easily several hundred thousand and probably more. I saw ONE reporter all day and I think it was the Tracy Beanz chick.

And then D Guvnors and D state Supreme Courts covered for their illegal actions, in defiance of their own state constitutions and laws. And the few times it got to the USSC, they dodged their responsibilities like they were in a snowball fight.
The failures over and over again were a result of these actions.

I get the anger. I wish I had an answer. If I did, the Left would have not taken over in states I have loved for decades. But i do know the Left used this as an excuse to ignore the argument. Some people played into their hands and now that argument is dead it seems. Yes flat out wrongs were committed if people simply doing their jobs were hurt. But also, the entire play wrecked everything Trump, Rudy, Trump JR, and all the rest were saying.
I get some are ate Defcon 1. I understand why that is and in no way am i a "so called conservative" But what might have been if this did not end this way? What if people demonstrated peacefully in even larger numbers?
Again, I wish I had the answer. If i did, things would be a lot different in this country.
my personal view is conservatives/nationalists/Trump voters spit the bit in 2018, That was the real time to show up in droves and if they did, none of this would have happened.

It all depends on his conditions of parole. A judge has a lot of power and leeway.
But if the judge never mentioned that he can't drink beer, or hang with Proud Boys he knows, or whatever restriction Kyle didn't break, then I totally agree.

Anyone that thinks that term limits on Congress have
a snowball's chance in hell to ever pass, indeed should be checked for a
DUI. Including me. Luckily, I'm currently only driving a keyboard.

Didn't they pass it back when and it was declared unconstitutional?

It's at least misdemeanor. He's free on parole. You don't get to commit more crimes while you on parole. He was asking to be thrown in jail. He basically told the judge he's a dumbshit. And he is. Kyle Rittenhouse should have been as far from there as he can legally and safely be, and should've kept as low a profile as he could. His gene pool will almost certainly make it to Idiocracy.

back in the day, term limits were about Congressional graft. I recall a prof that convinced me they were unconstitutional because people were no longer allowed to vote for the person they wanted to represent them. But now, does anyone think a Lefty who is term limited won't be replaced by an even worse Lefty?
Sure I get the idea. I guess it will help get rid of establishment RINOS like McConnell.

Not that I'm aware of, but I just don't know either way.
I cannot see anyone in Congress, save for a handful, ever voting term limits on themselves. Since the Constitution explicitly states the terms for each house, guessing the only way to really make it work is an Amendment. Again, only a guess.

OK I looked it up. 23 states passed laws limiting terms of federal senators and congressmen from their states from 1990 to 1995. SCOTUS declared all those laws unconstitutional in U.S. Term Limits, Inc. v Thornton.

The ruling was lead by John Paul Stevens and Anthony Kennedy and seems short on logic. They said lots of things that boiled down to the rules would be different across the different states which, so what. We live in a republic where all the voting rules are different across different states.

You can't charge a person for "perjury in their plea" because 1) coerced confessions discovered after a plea could be charged with perjury, and 2) anybody pleasing innocent and found guilty would be liable for any add on sentence.
But Judge Sullivan tried making this argument after real discovery was enough to allow Flynn some room to reverse his plea, and the case against Flynn pretty much consisted of his plea.
So credit Judge Sullybench of making a pretty good try at a show trial in the modern age. Close, but not close enough.

Mario Cuomo actually made the argument that the death penalty was to easy on inmates what with prolonged risk of prison rape. Nobody saw his suggestion as cruel and unusual--as punitive rape and anal tears would obviously be.

Again, I don't trust judges. They have given us a system of 38 million/one vote, while the masses still hear the Dems invoke one-man/one-vote democracy and simply nod along. Thinking that those constantly running to a judge--or "experts" uphold "democracy".

Yeah should head out soon, not sure when I can get in the building but door was unlocked a few minutes before 6am, so might mean it's automatically open earlier. Often multi occupy buildings have timer locks and open exactly at 6 or 7am.

They fancy themselves our judges and the arbiters of what the public should and will believe.
It might not matter.
This is why they're always blowing the whistle on "Whataboutism". It's Out Of Bounds.
They might not have allowed the case you're making into evidence. "Objection (their own) sustained".

So patriotism immediately in doubt.
When it's really they disagree.
I think if Jake didn't want to promote rape, he should change his rapey last name.

Tapper can keep getting promoted by Communist News Network. But he probably lost more than most over Trump's term in office. There was a time Repubs would kiss Tapper's arse because he threw them a crumb from time to time. He also played up the pro military thing. Fine, great Jake, you are a hero for saying what we all know, those that serve are better than you.
But this guy showed his ass and can never take it back. It doesn't matter what he thinks he accomplished, he knows he has been diminished. Anyone with a clue would steer far from this fraud. He is a charlatan and a fake news reader.

the day Biden assumes office, the American people will learn once again, that they were stupid. Biden is on no consequence and never will be. He won because they thought he was the least Democrat Democrat available. If that does not tell you something, I don't know what does.
He is that guy that always hangs around. The one thing he did right was show up. But if you tell me Biden in inspiring, I have some serious questions for you and so to the radical Dems that run that party.

I was in a Chipotle not long ago and some Millennial Hispanic was telling his buddy that Pinto beans were not Mexican, only Black beans were legit. I knew that was a load of crap but bit my tongue. After looking it up i realized i was right lol. It is shocking what some people think is reality and then they will spew it for the rest of their lives with no concern whether it is true or not.

So, we are about to watch our nation fall under a totalitarian Communist dictatorship, with no resistance, and with not a shot fired by our Military, which is sworn to defend the Constitution of the United States, a document that guarantees us a constitutional republic as our form of government.
And these soldiers, who swore an oath to defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic, are going to stand around and watch Tapioca Diapers and the Heels Up Ho being sworn in.
Wow.
Then again, our Pentagram finds nothing more important than making sure we have transgenders in our officer corps, our recruits can't do ten pushups, and require stress cards to get through basic, and Seattle has been surrendered to a small group of meth-addicted trannies, so, I guess this all makes sense.
There won't be any heroics to save us. This is a nation bereft of heroes.

While I was on vacation, I watched the original Jungle Book. It had the SJW disclaimer on it before it started.
Then a few days ago, I watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail and it had the SJW disclaimer on it before it started. FFS. The silliness. When will it stop?

Tapper can keep getting promoted by Communist News Network. But he probably lost more than most over Trump's term in office. There was a time Repubs would kiss Tapper's arse because he threw them a crumb from time to time. He also played up the pro military thing. Fine, great Jake, you are a hero for saying what we all know, those that serve are better than you.
But this guy showed his ass and can never take it back. It doesn't matter what he thinks he accomplished, he knows he has been diminished. Anyone with a clue would steer far from this fraud. He is a charlatan and a fake news reader.

Dennis Miller used to have him on his terrible radio show. I think that was when Jake was pretending to be a straight shooter although he didn't fool me one fucking bit. Maybe Dennis wasn't as smart as I thought or just desperate to fill up airtime.

on Ski areas and surrounding lodging.. If you know a off main trail route in

Pelosi & Co. do seem supremely nervous about something, though, don't they?
What's with repeatedly telling soldiers not to obey "unlawful orders," telling them not to follow any orders from President Trump, and the constant sweating about vetting them for ideological purity?
Does Nancy think there's a possibility that the Insurrection Act will be invoked?
Can't imagine why Trump didn't invoke it immediately. No, wait, I can imagine. Obama turned our senior military leadership into big fan boys of "chicks with dicks," because that's what Barky's into.

It's hard for me to get my head around the idea of anyone believing anything the MSM tells us, after day by day by day of the most outrageous lies, things we know are lies.
YET - by the same token it appears to me that most have lost their faith in Trump, a man who - to my knowledge - has been a straight shooter with us for the last 4 years and proven himself to be someone who is a master strategist, someone who will fight for us (how many times have I heard hm say that), and someone who absolutely loves America and what it stands for.
Simply, why would someone with those attributes toss in the towel and fade into the sunset?
Add in the EO's we've seen, the flurry of activity still coming out of his administration, the 20K troops, the ALamo speech, and I don't see how it isn't as clear to everyone as it is to me that he has a few cards left to play. And maybe the Kraken, that eight tentacled monster, is not as fictitious as we believe.

They are going to do everything they can to utterly destroy Donald Trump and his entire family. Similarly, they are going to pass laws to immediately criminalize millions of American citizens, with the goal being our utter destruction.
Does sitting meekly aside improve our chances later? Will the weight of the boot grow less heavy with time? When has this worked in any totalitarian state?

Easy - because he's a man obsessed with going to court and obeying the same. He can't comprehend that the legal system is rigged. Or, more likely, won't.
His fatal flaw remains his belief in credentialism. Very common both in his generation as well as his region. The man has never met a doctor, lawyer, judge, general, or Ivy League grad that didn't initially impress him.
He's a Dershowitz, when we need a Franco or Pinochet.

Because this generation wasn't really taught history; Hitler is sort of worn out so the most evil person they ever heard of is Bin Laden.

Then again, our Pentagram finds nothing more important than making sure we have transgenders in our officer corps, our recruits can't do ten pushups, and require stress cards to get through basic, and Seattle has been surrendered to a small group of meth-addicted trannies, so, I guess this all makes sense.

The GOP is more ready to vote for impeachment than they are to demand answers on who murdered Ashli Babbitt. But if we only VOTE HARDER things will be better.
If the DNC was smart, they'd use their new Rig The Vote Fu to keep some Repubs in power - to prevent the collapse of the party and avoid a true opposition group filling the void. I just don't know that they have the discipline to do it.

Scripture for when you're discourarged:
Psalm 34, Isaiah 12:1-6, Romans 15;13, 2nd Corinthians 4:16-18, Phillippians 4:10-13, Colossians 1:9-14,
Hebrews 6:-9-12.
In addition to the NIV which Grammie recommended and the Life Application Bible which i recommended, another good one is the Bible in modern English from the American Bible society, not because it contains a lot of explanatory notes (which the others do, although it has an introduction to every book) but because it contains a lot of suggestions of what to read when you're feeling all kinds of emotions or are dealing with different situations.
Perhaps people here who are Jewish can recommend a version of Scripture they like to use which contains helpful introductions and explanatory notes for the Hebrew Scriptures.

my fave is the KJV because there has been more literature derived from that version than any other. Even if you are a non believer, at least back in the day, the KJV was required for anyone who was a student of the English language.
My second choice is much more rare, it is the Revised Standard Version. This was the standard Bible for Main Stream Protestants for decades, until they added a bunch of PC nonsense.
I enjoy the back and forth and study of different Bible versions. But a famous Biblical scholar was once asked which version is better. His response was, "the one that you read". A lot of truth in that.

If there is nothing wrong with translation X then why do we need translation Y?
So I just read from the original language. Took a lot of work, but is worth it and is transformational.

I don't get the white wine-moms who nod along with this. Do these fools think they'll be spared because they wore a BLM t-shirt? Do they think their kids will be spared because they wrote an essay in school decrying their "white privilege"? It's maddening how stupid these people are.

921 PDTS issued a statement last night
Had a hostage vibe to it. I suspect his treacherous allies in Congress had something to do with it.
McConnell and McCarthy are scum and have to be dumped.

that is a discussion for another time. I don't think I have been involved in a religious debate here in ages. There is a good argument there though. There are arguments on both sides as to how that might work.

Good point. The honorable Mike Rogers. I would trust our nation in his hands, or in Flynn's.

Ditto - I would back the play of either - with more than just a vote.
Trump ? I dunno'. He's proven inadequate, maybe to an impossible task - so I'm not sure how fair it is to judge. But his inability to stay on task, and refusal to see the Deep State for what it is, really pisses me off. As I said earlier - we need a Franco. Seems like we got a Dershowitz.

Bearing false witness is one of the top ten no-nos. Do these people calling Trump Bin Laden and Hitler not realize that they will literally have Hell to pay for this?

You can't be serious. You think these antifa people, and I'd include Pelosi and Schumer, really believe in any semblance of God? They don't. So let go of the idea that a peek at the Bible will change their attitude or lead to repentance. "Antifa" is highly anti Christian as the Church is a fascist motivator.

951 Nancy breaks the rules:
I stand before you as a 1)wife, a 2)mother, a 3)grandmother, a 4)daughter. A 5)daughter whose 6)father proudly served in this Congress.

Posted by: rhennigantx at January 14, 2021 07:20 AM (5QBw6)
Nope.
If approved by vote, the rules package would not prevent the use of gendered language, but would rename certain official language. Included in the changes, the Office of the Whistleblower Ombudsman would become the Office of the Whistleblower Ombuds.
