All The World's An ONT And We Are Merely Players
Welcome to Thursday night. Anyone in the mood for a little ONT? I don't know about you guys, but I'm running across a lot of people who need this reminder:
Run Away Lady
Let's start with a clip that made me say WTAF?— ONT WTF (@OntWtf) December 13, 2024
Syria
Have you been following events there? This article pretty much nails it. Terrorists Liberate Terrorists From Other Terrorists
What Jerusalem knows and Foggy Bottom has yet to learn is that the Middle East is a bunch of tribal factions, warlords and gangs pretending to be countries, but despite the flags, anthems, UN memberships, World Bank positions and invites to climate change summits, are all some version of Al-Jawlani bouncing between ISIS, Al Qaeda and a new governing coalition. Over a thousand years of Islam comes down to some guy with a beard uniting a few key families with whose backing he then seizes a bunch of cities that used to belong to long lost great civilizations and then his men settle down to some murdering, looting and raping while thanking Allah for the privilege of a mission to kill, loot and rape the world. Or die trying. The stationary bandit theory isn’t some abstraction in the Middle East: it’s everyday reality.Common Sense Libertarians? Most Libertarians that you meet are actually libertines. But here Austin Peterson lays out his agenda for a Libertarian Party that frankly I'd consider joining.
Libertarian principles have gained new momentum in efforts like DOGE (Decentralization of Government Entities), spearheaded by figures like Vivek and Elon Musk. Their work aims to reshape the government by recommending structural reforms, including dismantling outdated agencies. The involvement of Ron Paul as an advisor to this initiative has inspired confidence that the MAGA movement is fertile ground for those dedicated to shrinking the administrative state. Paul may finally get his comeuppance on his old enemy: the State. As Ramaswamy put it in his speech to the National Conservatism conference, “[Donald Trump] didn’t just blindly parrot the party’s historical orthodoxy… he offered an entirely new worldview… one that shattered the historical neoliberal consensus to its core.” This critique of the old orthodoxy on trade, immigration, and the regulatory state created the conditions for a political realignment.
Libertarian Nationalism builds on this shift, reclaiming libertarian principles and combining them with the pragmatic realities of governance and national identity. It rejects the pacifism, hyper-individualism, and cultural hedonism that have weakened old-school libertarianism. Instead, it offers a vision of liberty grounded in pride, strength, and the preservation of American values.
This Is Such A Cool Idea. I'd Give My Left Nut To Have One Of These. Remembering the PBY Catalina Landseaire
The optimism of the post-WWII era remains unparalleled, and justifiably so. One dark, painful episode had just wrapped, and humanity was itching to embark on new adventures, to live life to its fullest – whether in a literal sense or just by use of the imagination, in the case of those who couldn't afford the real thing. That's the context in which the Landseaire was born, a land-sea-and-air recreational vehicle unlike any other. The Landseaire was designed as a step up from private or corporate jets in the form of an all-in-one package deal. It wasn't as much a means to travel from Point A to Point B, but a destination in itself since it could land anywhere without an issue – be it on water or on land. The Landseaire was the ultimate penthouse because, unlike a regular penthouse, this one could fly, float, and land wherever its residents wanted. That's because, unlike most concepts that have made their way into the pages of history, the Landseaire was deeply rooted in the past it was trying to make millionaires forget, being based on a surplus of Consolidated PBY Catalina military aircraft.Basically they converted surplus PBYs into flying Rvs. And yes, that's a metal an idea as it sounds.
Cato Is At It Again
Civil Society or Political Society? I don't disagree with the article's take on the decline of civil society, but the article, like many things put out by Cato, is weakened by it's incessant “both sides” bias. For example:
A society whose members hate and resent one another cannot persist for long, certainly not as a civil society. And with the loss of civil society comes the loss of civil liberty. The rule of law is transformed into rule by law, an instrument of retribution, redistribution, and revenge, policies that parties on the left and right have been threatening with increasing vehemence. Far-left “black bloc” militants and rioters (often referred to as “antifa”The Proud Boys are a tiny fringe movement that is shunned by most of the right, Antifa is openly courted and supported by the Democratic Party. And the failure to identify the rise of the authoritarian left, using the same tired old Commie playbook to divide the nation into factions, as THE primary factor in the breakdown of civil society, dooms it to irrelevancy.and far-right militants and rioters (members of the “Proud Boys” among them) are quite eager for violence; their brutality is a small taste of what may come if civility is not restored.

Somebody came up with a plausible theory on X that one of the key reasons for the Rise of the West was banning cousin marriages.
In most of the Islamic world and elsewhere, you marry your cousin.
Besides the other downsides to cousin marriages (like genetic defects), this makes your society intensely tribal - it is you and your family against the world, and you absolutely don't trust anyone not in your family.
Where cousin marriage is banned, you have to reach out to non-family members to do things (especially anything major), and it turns out that is a much more productive way of organizing society.

One day at work in Ohio the Friday after Thanksgiving several years after 9-11, a white guy from Canada, a Sikh guy and a Hindu female were alone and we openly discussed Islam because no one was around. It was eye opening for all of us and we were all on the same page.
Which was very impressive since the white HR lady and I discovered we were each conservative. And we kept that between us.
Much less what the three of us discussed. But DIVERSITY! Islam did bring us together.

One day at work in Ohio the Friday after Thanksgiving several years after 9-11, a white guy from Canada, a Sikh guy and a Hindu female were alone and we openly discussed Islam because no one was around. It was eye opening for all of us and we were all on the same page.
The FNM's take on the current Indian government is that it is unfairly mean to Islam. You know...if you can just get beyond the 4 wars with Islam and that Mombai atrocity?

Years ago at a public unsupervised range, I was checking my target at the first 100yd lane. Meanwhile a guy set up at the adjacent last 25 yd lane and began shooting. I did a hundred yard sprint screaming but he scooted into his truck and was gone before I could reach his useless ass.

The Israelis also seem to be ignoring the garbage coming from Biden's puppeteers. They want to get the job done before 20 January because Trump is very firm on wanting the Middle East wars to stop.

After what we lived through with the virus from Wuhan and the government's insistence that it came from a bat soup in a wet market do you think it might be a bit more likely that Lyme disease didn't just magically appear in 1975?
Take a look at a map from Plum Island right across the Sound and up the Connecticut River to Lyme, CT. It's not very far.

I once had a co-worker who talked of growing up around the potato fields. At another job, a different co-worker explained how a minor league team, the Long Island Ducks, became the NYIslanders. I had no idea about the duck farms or the potato fields on eastern Long Island. From their descriptions, it was like any other typical rural area. Nothing much happening, nowhere to go but West (towards NYC). The Long Island Lighthouse on Montauk Point (built under President Washington's admin) wasn't on any history places to visit list. And one had to go through some part of the City and over a bridge or through a tunnel to get completely free. Not even 70 years ago, it was cricket-chirping quiet. With a decent deer season. NY rednecks. Like some parts of Upstate NY. People think rednecks are only in the South, but they're in rural NY, too.

3. Type in all those duly noted names from the old list. ADD IN the more recent inductees, (Vic, etc.)
4. Make sure that Every Cob knows HOW TO update the list. And that said knowledge is passed on to every NEW co-blogger, as a matter of initiation.

NORAD/Space Force track around 27,000 pieces of space junk in orbit. ID numbers and ephemerides for all of them (when you're launching something into orbit, you don't want a piece of space junk to cross your path). So the idea that they don't know what is in our air space is indeed ridiculous.
This is some sort of live test of some drone technology to do something, I'd guess some sort of remote sensing and mapping tech. They need to do it over live areas, can't do it out at Area 51 and the other secret bases out in the desert. They need to test against real live on the ground infrastructure.
And they're playing cute and gaslighting everybody. It's unfuriating. All they need to say is "national security testing", don't worry, nothing to worry about, we know what it is. But they won't, because that's how they've operated with this shit since the Cold War.

You know what also appeared in 1975? What turned out to be Legionairres' Disease. My brother had in '75, hospitalized and near death. Alcohol ice baths, the whole works. It was in '76 when it got a name from the Legionairres' Convention in a Philly hotel where people got sick. From air conditioning ducts. My brother was working under his house and it was very moist as he was near a river. Got sick. Same symptoms.

I dunno the iteration of a sane nationalist libertarianism would be a good thing....before the NAMBLA Lincoln Loggers and the BulRAWRK started calling me a "blood and soil nativist" the libertines were.
If the values of the United States were in fact the baseline unmolested natural law of the human condition needing no defense thus "open borders YAY!" then the entire planet would have been at some point the United States....
instead the nation as founded was pretty rare....as in one of a kind.
A sane libertarian movement is probably the best expression of our founding principles....if we are just going to be libertines I can party pretty hard with the donks or elephants I guess.

I'm remembering Jonathan Turley, in some case he took, finally got the govt. to admit that Area 51 actually existed. It was under Clinton.
Turley found some catch-22 somehow or another. The govt claimed that base didn't exist, yet they claimed if it did, it was exempt for some environmental regulations and all that shit for National Security Reasons.
Well, Turley got the court to say, no sale, you can't exempt something that doesn't exist. So, Clinton had to sign something acknowledging Area 51 existed, and was Top Secret and exempt.

Wild.
Quite rational, but still. Apparently the IDF is finding "local elements" (this would include the Druze) very cooperative. This occupation was a prudent military pre-emptive one, given the situation in Syria. And of course it also provides excellent surveillance advantages to the west (southern Lebanon). But I don't think Israeli leadership wants this for the long term.

Pretty hard to come to a different conclusion these days. I mentioned earlier that the Biden administration has ramped up the effort to sell off the border wall material that Trump bought in his first term and has been sitting in the dirt waiting to be installed for all of Biden's term. They are selling it for pennies on the dollar for scrap to make it harder and more costly for Trump to finish the job.

And this is why I insist it won't be enough. We should not focus on "outdated" agencies or waste and inefficiency.
No, we need a Constitutionalist approach, to strip the gov't down to its mandated core duties in the spirit of the Founders. Devolve power back to the states. Dismantle almost everything under the "good and plenty clause" ("general welfare"). Only then can you even think about efficiency. Otherwise you still get Progressivism, but with lower taxes and better at the job of building their utopia.
No, do not think "outdated" or "efficient." Think "What would the Founders have done?" and cut everything else.

Just another note about Long Island.
Most of L.I. is flat. But the eastern part gets very hilly. Not like mountains but hilly. The land is part of where the last great ice sheet covered North America, leaving behind rocks and hills; you can see this ice sheet debris really well in Central Park. Eastern L.I. is very New Englandish in geography. I've be on Montauk Hwy, doing the loop at the end at night. It's very spooky. It was summer but the little hills had fog in the depressions, giving everything an eerie feel. I know, crazy. But it very much had the feel of parts of rural VA/WV with which I'm familiar, just not as high up. I understand why serial killers come from that area.

The loss is all on Joe. He actually sent a Spanish-speaking surrogate, without appearing himself, to a debate with AOC. He was so cock-sure he'd win, as he'd won for a long time, sometimes unopposed. He was lazy. He deserved to go. What I*/we didn't deserve was Little Miss AOC, a moron (with a small case 'm') if there ever was one.
* I live in the Queens part of her District. She never comes to our part of the District, sticking to the Bronx part. We're separated by the East River. Only two bridges connecting the two and no direct subway ride, either. The Bronx and Queens are two different worlds put into one Congressional District. Crowley was from my neighborhood (the Queens part; his office was maybe 6 blocks away) while Little Miss is the Bronx part.

If not wanting to watch a bunch of woke bull dykes bounce a ball makes me racist and sexist, I'm totally okay with that. Try harder.

Hubby is getting a little better, thanks for asking.
He *might* be discharged tomorrow. Depends on a few things... And hopefully (?) he will come home. Question mark, because I don't know if I can handle it if he's still so...spacey.
He has advanced (decompensated) liver disease. Maybe won't recover fully to "where he was" last week? Just. Don't. Know.
Only time will tell.......

There are two companies in the area
Skyview Media Co which uses drone for photography
ABJ Jones which does aerial business inspections via drone
It would be funny if the mass sightings are just one of these companies having a particularly successful month...

Nice theory but I'm trying to figure out how either of those companies would get better business results at night.
Or are you saying they're whooping it up after a good month by going drone crazy? Seems like it's been going on a long time to just be whooping it up. I'm going with gub'mint test. That's why nobody gives a shit, even Trump (who's getting security briefings). They're seeing how we react. They're prepping us for the real aliens. 2025 is gonna be lit.

Not with the Queens Republican Party, we'll never replace her. I didn't know who was running as an R until I got into the voting booth. That's how much good the Queens GOP is. NY State isn't much better. But AOC is beatable. You just got to get a name out there and get that debate on a local NYC tv station. None of that ever happens. AOC was brash when she made her splash. That's what you have to do if you want to break through. You can't be cerebral, you have to be visceral.

Hear that a lot. It is in my nature to immediately ask "Is that true?"
Well, no, unless you exclude life from basic human rights. For the first, I don't know, say dozen years of life, that's just what we require.
Now, there is an additional question of whether it's due from everyone or only from some. Here, it looks more like the latter, though I do have trouble with the notion that we can just let an abandoned child die.

"Nothing that requires the labor of others is a basic human right."

Medicaid and Medicare are there so that people that cannot pay for healthcare get it. No one says it that explicitly particularly with Medicare, but that’s what it’s for. In the end, someone has to pay and that’s why we have a for-profit healthcare system for the people who are not in poverty. Sure there are issues. No one’s defending the healthcare system here. But the idea that we basically have not made healthcare right already is just not true. The people that can’t pay still have to pay if they don’t we’re not gonna have any healthcare at all.

ERs get swamped every hour of the day with spherical Guatemaloids and their fifteen grandchildren with the sniffles, and so each single one takes up time and resources from the ER staff because they *must* be seen.
What might actually work as a solution is something like an anti-EMTALA. ER staff concludes that you don't actually have an emergency, and that any rational adult should know it's not an emergency, but you went to the ER anyway instead of your local doc in a box or just the damn supermarket for some advil and a box of tissues? You get fined. Nothing major, just a parking ticket basically. But if you can get in trouble for wasting 911 emergency services' time calling them with nonsense, why not the ER itself?

You're not really the customer. They're not really selling a product.

The other reason, I mention illegals because I have talked with hospital administrators. I used to live in one of the prominent counties in this state and the hospital people there said the state gave them tax breaks if they never followed up trying to get payment for ER services. So the illegals who came to the ER would simply give them a fake address for payment and bylaw of the hospital was not allowed to pursue it any further. The person in charge of the hospital ER payments told me this.
