The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

punk-monkey.jpg

Oak Brook Illinois is a wealthy suburb of Chicago. It used to be solidly Republican, but that has been changing as Chicago drives out anyone with a job and without gang tattoos. But running from the problems in Chicago has not insulated them from the larger problems of the southern invasion, orchestrated by the Democrat junta that is hell-bent on changing the character of America, one wetback at a time!

Oh...I'm sorry..."migrant!" Because it sounds so much prettier than illegal alien breaking laws left and right. It used to be that immigrants to America were value-added. They came (like our parents and grandparents and great-grandparents), stayed with family, found work, built businesses, went to school, and did not cost the economy much at all. No welfare, no resettlement payments, no healthcare...nothing! And if they arrived coughing up a lung? Right back onto a ship!

String of retail thefts, burglaries by migrants plaguing Chicago suburb

From Oct. 23 to Jan. 17, a total of 47 migrants were arrested in Oak Brook, Illinois, mostly for alleged property crimes, according to Brian Strockis, the chief of police for the Oak Brook Police Department.

It would take a heart of stone not to laugh! Sure, a bare majority of the citizens of oak Brook voted Republican, but Northern Illinois is filled with genteel suburban Republicans who are at home with the liberal, globalist, American-hating wing of the party. And as one of their Chicago neighbors said..."America's chickens are coming home to roost." The form of our punishment is the destruction of our society by unbridled illegal immigration: an invasion of people whose ethos and political philosophy is completely alien to the founding principles of America and the marvel of American Exceptionalism that attracted the best and brightest from Europe in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Now? We literally have looters! And it's coming to a small town near you! All of those buses and planes taking illegals into the heartland are designed for one thing...to dilute small-town America and unravel the fabric of our society.

America can probably manage a de facto default of our government because of insane deficit spending. We can probably survive the loss of Taiwan to the red Chinese. But we cannot survive the invasion from the south. We will become a poor country whose government is fixated on one thing...the transfer payments to the exploding underclass that keep them satiated. And when they end, as they must? Large scale breakdown of society, rampant crime, failure of infrastructure on a scale never seen in America, and the final destruction of a 250 year experiment in self government.

22 ...

You know, the problem with Rome was not immigration/invasion, it was the lack of assimilation of the barbarian tribes. Once they were allowed to exist as their own political entities, allowed to retain weapons and serve under their own leaders in the army, things went quickly from bad to worse.

That and all the shit sewn by Diocletian and yes, Constantine. Primarily the explosion of the bureaucracy as well as the severing of the landed nobles into separate political entities and they could exist as self sustaining territories.

Feudalism. Every man for himself.

23 >>But we cannot survive the invasion from the south.

As has been noted, the scale of what's going on here is massive, we are adding a Wyoming to Delaware sized contingent of illegals every three months.

At some point this is going take the slow simmer we have been witnessing and boil over.

Squatters can be bad around these parts. A friend sold her old house and it took forever to get the police to toss the fuckers out.

Another gal who works for me had her car break down. She mentioned that she got everything out of the car, because groups of kids were running around at night and if any car is unlocked, they would steal everything that wasn't nailed down. She went out the other morning to wait for her ride (at 3am) and was shocked and appalled that the police asked her what she was doing out so late and what she was doing.

... Right.

When I was in law school, there were entire chapters on AP in property law. I was like "who needs to know this now?" AP was once an important area of law, back when the country was still being settled and property ownership was ambiguous. It's still relevent to disputes over fence locations, etc.

But little did I know that it once one day would make a comeback. Democraps will revise the law to provide the property is yours if you manage to stay overnight.

84 WalMart benefits though, from "free money" given to illegals that spend some on things they can't steal or rob. BigHealthCare probably also benefits, if BigGov foots the bill for all the sick and indigent.

This was also true with the CovidCrimes. WalMart was open, small business was shut down as "non-essential. And again, BigHealthCare got thousands for every "Covid Case", even if it was just the flu, or people with other problems, but that tested positive for Covid.

I'm not sure if it is all about the money though, except that the WEFers think they get even richer via total control of (global?) society. But as those not invested in The Markets struggle, the DOW makes new highs.

Today's assignment is to locate the mexican food truck in your town and go there at lunchtime. You must then determine which cartel runs that truck and all the "migrants" eating there. You can tell, of course, from the tattoos.
Once you've identified who is the controlling cartel, you now know who to pay tribute to.
Good luck and papers are due tomorrow.

My favorite part was Snopes tried their hardest and not only confirmed that a man bought $142 of steak and lobster with his food stamps, but they try to make the story that he got in trouble for selling it.

90 In-N-Out said Sunday it will close its only Oakland restaurant in March over crime and safety concerns for its customers and employees. ...we would warn everyone we knew flying into Oakland to not go to that location when they left the airport, to drive a few more minutes on over to the Alameda location. One group that came in went to the Oakland location, their rental van had the windows busted and all luggage and electronics stolen within 10 minutes.

Doesn't say much about law enforcement in the area.

Can't blame the police. Even if they arrest the perpetrators they’ll be released that same day with no bail and never prosecuted. There aren’t any consequences.

Blaming the victims. Its the cops' fault.

Crime is at all time lows. These places close chains because those chains aren't as profitable as they'd like and then blame it on crime.

That should be a boom for small business, right? Been downtown SanFran in a minute? Oakland? Wonder why that is just not true there...

You will never be able to get them out. Under most cities' insanely pro-tenant laws, anyone who stays for any extended period of time can claim he's a legal tenant. You have to go to court to evict him. Takes months if not years.

Happened in a condo building on the same street as mine. Some gay dude allowed some other gay dude to stay at his place for a few weeks. I don't even think it was 30 days. Boom! No good deed goes unpunished. The guy staying over didn't want to leave and claimed he was a tenant. Took other gay dude like 10 months (!) to get him out.

Companies flee low-crime areas all the time. It's just common.

Especially if you measure crime by what's reported and there have been years of active disincentives to calling the police, up to and including slashing police budgets to the point where they simply cannot report in a timely manner.

AP was once an important area of law, back when the country was still being settled and property ownership was ambiguous. It's still relevent to disputes over fence locations, etc.

But little did I know that it once one day would make a comeback. Democraps will revise the law to provide the property is yours if you manage to stay overnight.

Yes. It's a risk all landlords -- including short-term like AirBNB -- take. In a case like that, it should be an easy win in L-T court because you'll have a contract showing a short stay for a specified period. But even then it may take weeks or months to have the case heard. The real problem arises when you have someone stay over for some amount of time without any written agreement. The tenant then says you agreed to x, y, and z. It's his word against yours. Courts will enforce oral leases.

So... I live in KY and this potential 'act' would not do what Vice says it would do... shocka'.

It's mostly the result of city vagrants encroaching on wealthy homeowner's properties... like horse farms or other semi-rural spreads. We live near a quarter-horse stable and I can understand why they'd get pissed off if trespassers kept showing up at their place. Some of these homeless/drug addicted people are violent. They pose a threat to not only the people and animals but they tend to trash property too.

But, yea, it enforces the idea that my property is mine. Which goes against what the commies want.

Almost all of them. There are exceptions for certain types of contracts that have to be in writing (see "Statue of Frauds").

I can guarantee you that if Taiwan is invaded, those chip plants will be imploded. Also, Japan, Taiwan and Australia have certain weapons to curtail it.

They got taken by surprise with Obama being so amazingly fucking lazy, not to mention he stabbed the Euro wing of the globalists in the back with a Charlie Brown/Lucy football yank in 2015, when they want all in on refugees but the US backed out of an arranged wave of invaders at the last minute.

If he hadn't done that, things would be MUCH farther along now. They're actually behind vs. where they'd planned to be, and the plan was an effective one.

But you are probably also wealthy enough that you can forego the rental income for a month or two without getting into financial distress. If you absolutely need that rent check to make your mortgage payment, you don't have that luxury.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at January 23, 2024 11:46 AM (tkR6S)

If you absolutely need that rent check you should not be in the landlord business. I’ve seen this happen a lot. People always assume best case scenario. Tenants always pay in time. Nothing ever breaks. Vacancy is 0%. And they can barely cover the mortgage with the rent check. Then as soon as reality hits they have no money. They rent to anyone, make no repairs and the property goes to shit eventually.

True Story:
about 12 or 13 years ago, I was at a local grocery. I was buyng some dried beans and some canned goods (that I can recall). I was not buying any meat or cheese. I was standing in line, counting PENNIES to make sure I had enough money to buy my meager food. This was when I was working full time.

The younger POC woman in front of me had a baby with her: nice weave and nails, looked like a new coat, designer bag. All that. She emptied her full cart of high-end items... and then pulled out food stamps. I watched her get into a late model Escalade.

So was Women Talking last year.

The 10 nominees thing has degraded even further the already degraded "honor" of being nominated.

Top Gun Maverick was nominated last year, and no one thought it had a chance to win.

Oppenheimer's going to walk away with Best Picture, not because of any opinion I have on the film but because it's sweeping awards season already.

Barbie's director, Greta Gerwig, wasn't even nominated for Best Director.

When I live in Orange County over 10 years ago, nextdoor neighbor's son went to the local community college.

One late night (after yet another party at the home) I heard him and some friends all talking about how they were all on food stamps. These were mostly middle class white kids still living at home with their parents -- most driving nicer cars than me and my wife -- and in homes at the time valued near $1 million.

I think the key to unlocking the current Academy thinking at a group level is to think like a Film Bro: the kind of fervent fandom that's incredibly shallow and determined to bring notice to the underseen and underappreciated masterpieces of cinema: Pulp Fiction and The Dark Knight.

It's the only solid explanation I can give for EEAAO last year and Oppenheimer sweeping the ancillary awards so far this year.

I also think the 10 nominees spreads out the votes to the point where a film with 20-25% of the vote can win while every streamer is throwing tons of cash to win the award and become legit like a few years ago with Apple and CODA (a film they bought and didn't even produce).

I'm only on the edges of Film Bro culture (it's mostly on Twitter, and I pretty much just use Twitter to promote posts and such), but the love for that film, EEAAO, was...incredible.

People talking like it changed them, like it was the only movie to really make them feel anything. It was also full of dildo jokes with Asian characters and the acceptance of a gay daughter, for sure, but lots of woke stuff doesn't get that traction. EEAAO was the biggest winner of ancillary awards up to the Oscars...ever. It tapped into something for a lot of people in the industry. Being woke wasn't all of it, it was definitely part of it.

The only way out is to stop all free shit and when they turn to crime, arrest and deport. The George Floyd ahit killed law enforcement. This is the major fallacy of communism: everybody wants the free shit and nobody wants to earn it.

342 As long as we're doing a morning rant... has anyone else noticed a format change in Ace of Spades that makes this site almost impossible to read on a phone? It's formatted for a wide screen now. To make it readable, I have to scroll left and right (!) to read each line. Soon this will become so tedious I'll wander off somewhere else... after 16 years here!

Phone? Huh. Guess I'm old fashioned in using a laptop for internet and blog stuff.

343 Having a detailed written contract helps. But if you get a scumbag tenant, you would still have to go to court to get him out and it could take months or even years. And in the meantime, the scumbag isn't paying rent and probably trashing your place. Don't ask me how I know . .

So it seems like a solution is for the property owner to not get the cops involved, but rather go immediately to surveillance mode and be prepared to empty the house of contents at a moments notice, and then bring in some furniture of your own and wait for the scum bags to to show back up. Then they have a choice, call the cops and never see their possessions again, or shut up and move on and tell them where their possessions can be found.

The root of this problem is that these scumbags aren't prosecuted and thrown in prison for theft after months of court proceedings proves that they were scammers.

I haven't had that problem on my phone. I zoom in on the page enough to remove the sidebars, but that's it. The main articles look fine on an Android phone using Brave.

Tried. Floating ads take up the bottom of the screen. When I turn the phone sideways, those ads take up most of the screen. There is no control button to remove them. Increasing the font size only means I have to scroll left and right even more.

But thanks for the suggestions! I'm hoping somebody at Ace of Spades HQ is paying attention and is willing to test their code on the Android versions that are being used out here.

347 Oak Brook is...was a beautiful suburb. Lots of middle class people along with the rich. I have been to the mall there many times, shopped at stores that have been looted.

I was even thinking about moving there, safe from the chaos of Chicago. Nope. Not gonna happen. The whole state, like CA and NY, is f**ked.

This blog has really sunk to new levels. Ace used to care about straight up racism on his site. Apparently those days are over.
