Wednesday Morning Rant

Priorities

Imagine that you are a leader in one of America's large cities, and - in a surprise to nobody, because it's the norm - that city is a hellhole and getting worse. What would you work on? Facing the monumental task of managing a major city that appears to be stuck in an inescapable spiral of decline, what would you do? Would you try to tackle one or more major problems or try to improve quality of life for the residents?

Well, we know the answer in at least one case: no, of course not. The city in question is my former home town of Denver, Colorado. Denver, like all major cities and especially wholly-owned Party cities, is not exactly doing well. It's by no means the worst major city in the country, but it's working manfully to close the gap.

If you're a problem-solver - real or merely aspirational - Denver should represent nirvana for you. There is opportunity aplenty for improvement in that once-fair city. Where to begin? You could try to roust and suppress the sprawling camps of vagrants that have been a continuous presence for years. If that seems like too much of a hot button issue, you could try to "move the needle" on "public safety" more generally, since the dangers of everyday city life are escalating, and crime rates haven't exactly been a bright spot. Maybe the big social problems aren't for you. You could go after something comparatively simple, like addressing the city's declining and undersized infrastructure. Maybe, if you're feeling really ambitious, you could try some aggressive enforcement to go after the fentanyl problem rather than just advising people not to dope up by themselves.

But that's all pretty hard. Like all failing cities, Denver needs a marketing push - a big distraction from those hard problems. What better option than courting a large, Party-friendly, identity-movement aligned, exclusive event for a minority population that will never provide a return on investment? We're getting close to something really promising now. There is just such an event, and Denver is in estrus trying to attract it. It isn't soon, but it will really put Denver on the map for things that matter. That event is the "Gay Games."

An international athletic contest by, for and consisting of homosexuals. This is the kind of inclusivity for which we should all strive. I didn't know that homosexuals needed their own games because they were banned from the real Olympics and other contests, but I guess you learn something every day. But why Denver? What makes Denver such a great choice for the international homosexual athletic contest? Why, "urban sophistication" and "empowerment," of course:

Urban sophistication meets outdoor adventure in Denver, where the bid for the 2030 Gay Games represents more than a global event; it's a symbol of progress and inclusivity. Denver, recognized as the #5 spot on AAA's Top 50 cities list, aspires to captivate a wide audience with the electrifying spirit of the Gay Games, aligning seamlessly with founder Tom Waddell's vision of an ever-expanding community. The city's rich history of successfully hosting LGBTQ+ events, combined with its commitment to diversity and inclusion, sets the stage for a transformative experience.

In the marketing page for the city's bid, the city adheres to the standard marketing playbook and loudly ignores any problems:

World-class attractions. Natural wonders. A thriving arts scene. Dozens of innovative and acclaimed restaurants. Nightlife options galore. The word is getting out - Denver's got it all.

No mention of the vagrant camps, boarded-up windows, fentanyl zombies or the rampant drug use, filth and violence on public transportation. No mention, of course, of the dominant 2024 theme in America's cities: the influx of illegal aliens that result in cuts borne by legal residents. None of that would be "on brand."

In a city plagued with Progressive ailments, the city's leadership focuses on nonsense like plastic bag bans and international athletic contests of homosexual prowess. The latter should really help with the medical capacity crisis, too.

It's clear that Denver has its priorities straight.

DHS has sex and drug trafficking across the US and over intl borders as one of their purviews.

Strictly speaking though, federal law enforcement does not have a firm jurisdictional requirement for investigative agencies but more an informal arrangement that is complicated by liaisons and joint task force types of arrangements. This appears to be more a task force type leo arrangement with a lead agency and multiple other agencies getting their slice of the pie.

120 French Senators want to ban gender transition treatments for under-18s, after a report described sex reassignment in minors as potentially “one of the greatest ethical scandals in the history of medicine”.

The report, commissioned by the opposition centre-Right Les Republicains (LR) party, documents various practices by health professionals, which it claims are indoctrinated by a “trans-affirmative” ideology under the sway of experienced trans-activist associations.

The report, which cites a “tense scientific and medical debate”, accuses such associations of encouraging gender transition in minors via intense propaganda campaigns on social media.

Jacqueline Eustache-Brinio, an LR senator who led the working group behind the report, concluded that “fashion plays a big role” in the rise of gender reassignment treatments.

177 Urban combat is about as bad as war gets. That's not just for the soldiers doing the fighting — it's also for the civilians caught up in it. Typically, civilian casualties far outnumber military casualties in city fighting.

Until now.

John Spencer is the chair of urban warfare studies at the Modern War Institute at West Point and an infantry combat veteran. He's just back from the Gaza Strip, where he witnessed the extraordinary measures Israel has taken to avoid civilian casualties.

"By my analysis," Spencer reported for Newsweek on Monday, "Israel has implemented more precautions to prevent civilian harm than any military in history — above and beyond what international law requires and more than the U.S. did in its wars in Iraq and Afghanistan."

The net result — and this is that "utterly remarkable" thing — is that civilian casualties do not outnumber military losses. The best estimate is just one civilian casualty for each military casualty.

Israel has accomplished this unprecedented feat "in intense urban warfare against an enemy trying to maximize its own civilian casualties."

Isn't Blackrock the one going from coast to coast and buying up all the middle class homes out from under a lot of regular buyers?

Obama believes the 2024 election will be an “incredibly” close race [ no it won't ], CNN reported Monday, necessitating an in-person visit on Friday to the White House. Biden’s public schedule, which often shows little information about his agenda, did not reflect the meeting.

Obama is not expected to directly campaign for Biden, a blow to the president, whom former special counsel Robert Hur referenced as “an elderly man with a poor memory.” Instead, he will focus on shoring up Biden’s fundraising and shrinking support among black and Latino voters, CNN reported.

Family law!

A male is required to pay child support if:

or
2) He is married to the woman who had the child.

One would think that the standard would be one or the other, but "the best interest of the child" requires that it be both.

They've known this for a long time. In the 1990s there were a lot of studies showing that women not only cheat at rates similar to men, but they are more mercenary about it: they tend to cheat at just the right time to maximize a pregnancy. It was theorized that this was due to the evolutionary desirability of having multiple reproductive partners to maximize the genetic variation of her offspring and thus her gene's chances of surviving.

I've always just assumed atheist was an anti-Christian virtue signal.

Just a label sneering with condescension toward good and honorable people.

People really don't like thinking about this sort of thing, but the theory on why the human male organ is shaped as it is, particularly the hat at the top of it, is designed that way to scoop and flush out the genetic material that may already be present in the female's opening.

As his genetic material is injected inward, it gives him better odds that the offspring will carry his genes.

Not a guarantee, but a fighting chance.

Isn't that lovely?

Sponge, hate to tell you this but even if you abstain, if you have sisters, brothers, cousings, parents, etc. providing DNA evidence to third parties--it is relatively trivial to narrow down what yours is nowadays.

That is now the hot 'thing' in cold cases is to use familial dna via third parties to get warrants to compel production of DNA by a suspect.

Then, there is the whole abandoned property issue if you discard any food or drink wrappers in a public place (varies by state as far as your trash bins). The po po can if they desire run DNA sequencing on that.

We are not far from courts treating DNA evidence being as something like fingerprints and images of people as intrinsic identifiers. The current Katz v. US case allows expectations of privacy to shrink because it is a general societal expectation that matters as far as privacy and NOT that of an individual.

If you use DEI, WOKE, or CRT as a pejorative, then you are probably the racist in the room.

DEI, CRT, and Unconscious Bias training are flooding through healthcare and medical schools. It is already negatively effecting healthcare in the nation and if not stopped, will reach critical mass and the resulting deaths and lowered quality of healthcare for all.

So, Mr. Fake Doctor, should you or a family member gets real sick and needs surgery, do you care if the surgeon is competent and highly skilled or that he/she is the right skin color (non-white) and checks all of your DEI boxes?

I suggest the solution to this is to split the baby: as long as a man remains married to the cheating wife, he is responsible for the care of all the children, his own, and the ringer(s). But if they divorce, then he shall be on the hook for only his own. Mama can look elsewhere to support the bastard.

the mayors in my lifetime
Tom Currigan - until 1968: competent, not very corrupt, not very left wing even though a dem.

Bill McNichols - 1968-1983: not very competent, highly corrupt, not very left wing even though a dem.

Federico Pena - 1983-1991: competent, not visibly corrupt, terrifyingly left wing.

Wellington Webb - 1991-2003: mostly competent, breathtakingly corrupt, not as left wing as those who served before or after him.

John Hickenlooper - 2003-2011: mostly competent, not corrupt in the usual sense, terrifyingly left wing, crazy as a bedbug. unfortunately mentored many extreme leftists who subsequently got involved in city council and state legislature. he left mayor's office to become governor and now is a US Senator.

Michael Hancock - 2011-2023: highly incompetent, dazzlingly corrupt, farther left than Mao.

The way that the courts have interpreted is in line with ancient common law and statutes brought over from Britain. Specifically, the reasonableness clause allows temporal changes--for example in the 1600's, visual identification and requiring people to submit to authorities for such identification meant that your outside visage is not protected by privacy. At the time, po po could hardly hire portraiture artists but could disseminate how a suspect looked as far as physical description. Then when photos became widespread, then police could use them for suspect identification and elimination along with general description etc. Fingerprints, etc. are all fair game as outside visage.
