Friday Seftonless Morning Report (7/26/19)

***

TGIF Horde.

Big entertainment continues to bleed money and customers. Netflix put TFG on its board of directors. Ahh the ~~Midas~~ Shit Touch strikes again. AT&T learns that you can't just keep raising rates and expect people to bend over and ask for more.

Were you aware that the Federal Government hasn't executed any death penalty convicts in over 15 years? Well, that's about to change. Thank you Attorney General Bill Barr. He may be an insider, but he certainly hasn't been acting like a Swamp creature.

Death and taxes are the two certainties of life. What happens after death is kind of wacky at times.

We adults who work and pay taxes are told everything the government does must be for the children. There was forced busing in the 60s. Why? For the good of the children. We were told that inner city schools were not up to par in comparison to the suburban schools. The inner city schools are worse now than then. But instead of doing the right things for the kids the Democrats have to play footsie with the NEA. Even an old fashioned liberal such as Joe Liberman knows that school choice is key for educating poor and minority students.

President Trump doesn't take rejection well. If the courts are going to issue injunctions based on Orangemanbad and not the rule of law. Then he is going to do his darnedest to win some other way.

If I were president for a week, one of the first things I would do is get us out of the United Nations. Their latest vote should be the last straw. What a f*cking joke this organization is.

These are just a few of items in the news.

Netflix losing customers.

AT&T loses a boatload of customers after raising DirectTV prices.

Federal goverment to resume capital punishment.

A bucket of dicks was found and no it wasn't in Florida.

Joe Liberman calls for school choice for Democratic candidates.

Travel ban for Guatemalans?

Israel is the world's only violator of womens rights.

Ukraine seizes Russian oil tanker.

The State of Illinois is driving gun dealers out of business.

Equifax data breach. If you were affected you can file a claim.

The anti-Trump hysteria continues. Everything wrong? Trump.

Teens hospitalized, it may be related to vaping.

One lone Republican congressman attempts to stop online censorship.

Air pollution kills 30,000 Americans yearly.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) sleazy racist.

Woodstock 50 may take place. Of course Maryland.

Of course it's man's fault.

Louisiana Republicans are in sad shape right now.

Feel Good Story of The Day. "Nobody's gonna point a gun at me and get away with it."

He was an Army Major, who murdered Army soldiers, on an Army base. Moslem saboteur or whatever you want to call it.

So why would a civilian court or the FBI or have any jurisdiction or that nonsense in the first place? A court martial should have taken about a month. Then hang him.

This notion that foreign terrorism and acts of war should be handled by the court system is a pathetic spectacle.

And they get their power from corrupt voter rolls with non-citizens who want to vote anyway, and no state could give a rat's hind end to protect voter roll integrity.

Every federal voter must be required to show a birth certificate or naturalization court document.

62 I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, but without exception every major/minor "ethnic cleansing" or modern civil war in the 20th century was preceded by a general firearm confiscation. It is practically a pre-requisite.

It always follows a certain pattern, a general "otherizing" and demonization of a specific group or class of people. Whether in Rwanda or Sierrra Leone, or the Balkans, it has happened many many times. Heck, the Olympics were held in Sarajevo, considered a modern city. Within a few years it was under siege.

Never forget, they want you dead. And they're working on it. Bigly.

72 When Campus Reform questioned Gemmill as to how the correlation in her study translated to causation, she pointed to an "emerging body of evidence," which she says suggests that the election and surrounding circumstances "including heightened anti-immigrant rhetoric" and "threats of anti-immigrant legislation" may have had an impact on the American Latino population.

[note the blurring of legal/illegal immigration there]

"This may be because even among U.S.-born Latino Americans, about half report fearing that a family member or close friend might be deported under President Trump's administration," Gemmill told Campus Reform.

Gemmill also asserted that "research indicates that anti-immigrant stress and rhetoric are linked with negative health outcomes in the Latino population."

If breaking the law is stressful, then don't break the law?

When I was pregnant we had the beltway snipers in my home turf. That was a hella stressful month or whatever for me. I was also stressed because my husband was laid off. And oh yeah, when my son was diagnosed with heart defects at 20 weeks into the pregnancy. Please tell me why I should care that this alleged stress of Trump's mean comments on illegal immigrants is so special/noteworthy.

Yeah, I think I need more coffee. Sorry for the rant.

Your first problem is assuming that those schools exist to improve the lives of children or communities. They don't. Those schools - and tens of thousands around the country - are there to help the school system.

When I lived in the DC area there were several DC public school-related scams uncovered. The more money flowing into the schools, the easier it is to move it to your palm without detection.

My favorite was the DC chapter (or whatever) of the Teachers union. The long-time president and vice president were embezzling for years like champs. The president was a VIP in DC city power circles - she knew everyone, was known for her 20+ fur coats, her collection of wigs (not cheap), and her St. John suits [those suits start at $1000]. And yet --- no one stopped to wonder how it is that the head of a regional teachers union could afford all this while the DC public schools were in disrepair, the teachers complained of low pay, and so on. This gal and her cohorts didn't just not care about education, she didn't care about teachers. It was just one big scam.

The EviroSoytards on the sidebar remind me a lot of what Progtards were pushing as their entry to turning the country soicialist-

ie. The Third Way

"The Third Way" existed in a magical sweet spot right between capitalism and socialism and was very reasonable and quite the common sense thing to do.

It would disentangle crazy olde-styler political name-calling like "socialist" - I mean, what does that mean anyway. And all of us, yes! all of us would get meaningful stuff done in the Third Way way.

And this enchanted Third Way, though not being socialist, Pfft! socialist, what a silly olde name calling name, somehow-

always wound up involving less freedom for the individual and more power and money for the government, and somewhat looking just like socialism.

But, luckily it wasn't[t socialism-

It was The Third Way!!!!111!!!!

Hassan was sent to Ft. Leavenworth, to await execution, in 2014, and this is where things get hazy. The Obama administration had no interest at all in doing any executions, so they just let him sit. The Military brass preferred to pretend that none of this ever happened and forgot about him. There are currently 4 convicted criminals on Death Row at Ft. Leavenworth, but the Military has not carried out an execution since 1961, and does not appear to be interested in doing so.

135 Thanks for that clarification, Tom

One thing about the miltary, they tend to move slow. Not always though, when they want to get something done, it can move with surprising rapidity. Say, for just an example, a soldier or marine has an immediate family member who isn't expected to live very much longer. They can have him on a plane from anywhere in the world and get him home within hours.

My point is, the military screwed up badly. Hasan should have been quickly executed. There is a principle in law, something to do with the certainty of punishment, but also the celerity, or speed of punishment. He should have been made an example of.

Instead apparently a bunch of pussies are in charge. This is profoundly demoralizing to military personnel, considered a feature, not a bug, by the usual suspects.

Rote learning is fine, anything that a kid remembers is a good way to teach. Once the basics are understood, then you can move onto other methods of teaching. But the progression needs to be built upon the basics so as to not forget them. Several Morons have brought up what their kids are getting taught mathwise and what they've described doesn't have much rhyme or reason to it, and just confuses them needlessly.

IMO, that's done on purpose to give kids the sense that they can't solve anything on their own so they must always refer to the teacher (or anyone else in a position of power) for a solution. And it's not just math where that's done, from what I've read.

Dumb down a populace, and they'll believe anything that's told them like compliant little drones.

Education, absolutely.

A degree in "jounalism" today is about as marketable as a degree in phrenology.

And this possibility, however remote, has been anticipated for a long time.

Ours is a quiet revolt. Remember how many Dims got swept out of office nationwide thanks to TFG? There's still a lot left to be done, but having PDT in the White House is a logical extension of the Tea Party. PDT noted once that the TP was comprised of a bunch of ordinary Americans who wanted a return to common sense, Constitutional government (or something along those lines) but got screwed by both national parties.

I'd like to see a conservative takeover of the Republican Party similar to how the Progs have taken over the Democrat Party. A big push for obeying the Constitution should be the foundation and any Pubbie who thinks differently needs to be ousted from office toot sweet. Again, PDT has shown us who needs to go, we just have to find somebody to replace them.

I grew up on the TX Gulf Coast. I played sports in a gym with no AC. We just had big fans to circulate air. Of course, the buses didn't have AC. They still don't, but the school was air conditioned. They put in central air back in the 70s.

184 There is no "legal" remedy. Long ago we were subject to the ever wonderful "heads we win, tails you lose" magic 8 ball style of judicial interpretation.

Take, for just one example out of thousands, the idea that illegal aliens are entitled to your tax dollars in public schools.

That is a dumpster fire of interpretation. Republicans useless. "We tried, we shall never speak of it again."

Now today, it is just a given, that anyone and everyone who can drag themselves across our borders is entitled to the full range of "benefits".

Because someone, anyone, "needs" something - they have an automatic claim on your resources. Doesn't matter why, doesn't matter how, doesn't matter who.

kids demanding to know who was going to support "my keeds"? Belligerently Ignorant. It's not her fault she can't afford to support herself, much less her brood. So pay up.

The former vice president, who last year claimed that those supporting traditional marriage because of their religion were the "dregs of society" told the Star the only question remained if Christians would "choose hope over fear" and vote for him.

"Even the supporters know who he is as a person. The question that is left for me is to let them know who I am. Let them know who we are," he said. "That we really do choose hope over fear. That we really choose truth over lies. That we really do choose unity over division and science over fiction."

after they put them in charge. This is why the cucks are so outraged
that fire ants are infesting their playpen. They will continue to push
back and it's up to us to stay vigilant.

I hadn't looked at PDT's election that way, but I tend to agree. What floors me is all the pundits whining about his "character" and the type of man he is when we've had nothing but silver-tongued liars in power for decades.
I particularly love it when all the Progs start singing in unison that "PDT is a lying liar who lies" all while ignoring TFG's "if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor" bullshit. And that's just one example, there's a metric fuckton more of them.

They truly expect us to not notice their not noticing that. That's how dumb they think we are.

A guess?
School year starting earlier (in CO it starts in mid-August) *or* later (in MA goes to end of June, or even July if snow days) because teachers unions negotiate a shorter workday and time off throughout the year for teacher training.

Public school calendars are now filled with "teacher work days"* which extend the school year. In Arlington, VA the teachers actually had every Wednesday afternoon off as teacher work time. Yes, a half day every Wednesday Arlington parents had to juggle (I would get out of work at 11, then work Saturday morning to accommodate it).

Convertibles are great fun and you can find some great deals/values since they're a fairly niche market. Once you have one you'll either hate them or want one forever. It's a shame there's not a demand for four seat models, but again, niche.

Anyway, I like and generally buy small and sporty (we've had lots of British and Miatas), but I've been really tempted by the old Lexus SC430 as a luxury tourer. A lack of a back seat and garage space is probably the only thing keeping me from buying one by now.

a lot of food still comes from rural Midwest, or rural other than CA. Much of that is the Deep Red Trump voter. BUT more and more is being bought by the paper profits of easy money, and rented to the farmers/growers, who depend more on cheap labor ...

Even CA has some still with hands on involvement, but horticulture so far has used a lot of illegals or H1As. imo we must have a tax structure that encourages the smaller farmer/grower, and imposes higher tax on those living in gated communities that run to own a few thousand acres in their portfolio, and will demand servants run it.

Houston and the other large cities in the Red States have farmland nearby, but without electricity to run refrigerators and water treatment plants and so forth, and without gas and diesel to keep the tractors and combines and cattle trucks running...well, you can easily guess what will happen.

301 50 Might I add, I never quite get why inner city schools are perpetually in such a horrible state. Decade after decade after decade after decade. Why is it like moving heaven and earth to get these kids a better education? Are the teachers just hopelessly terrible? Get better ones! Are the kids just too unruly? One room schoolhouses in 1850 with nothing but slate chalkboards had better edumacations.

Can't fire the shitty teachers because of the teachers' unions, and can't discipline the acting-out-in-class kids because of federal regulations.

Did you see the report by the so-called Civil Rights Commission the other day? They claim that black kids don't act out in class at any greater rate than white kids do, despite all the studies and statistics that show otherwise. The Commission blatantly ignored the evidence, just so that they could justify their pre-determined bullshit conclusion that black kids are racially discriminated against by being disciplined more than white kids. These are the kinds of "social justice" idiots who have been making school policies for years, and this is why we have so many shitty, under-performing schools.

303 If it comes to all-out civil war, lots and lots and lots of Americans will die, and most of them early in the proceedings. Power plants and oil refineries are very vulnerable. Houston and the other large cities in the Red States have farmland nearby, but without electricity to run refrigerators and water treatment plants and so forth, and without gas and diesel to keep the tractors and combines and cattle trucks running...well, you can easily guess what will happen. Especially when winter comes.
Posted by: Gref at July 26, 2019 09:07 AM (AMIL/)

Actually, it doesn't need to have many casualties or last very long at all, since efforts can be focused on a few major cities. Food concerns are so 19th century, way too slow. As you say, the key is Power Generation.

If I (or anyone similar) had resources, 1,000 men, and a little bit of surprise, in 24 hours I could knock out California's entire power grid so hard that it couldn't be brought back on line for months. California has made some huge mistakes in designing it's system - they rely on huge plants removed from the population centers, plus a lot of long distance interstate transmission lines. A state like Texas, on the other hand, has a huge number of small power generation stations combined with some big ones, and they have been built much closer to the areas they serve. The Texas system is defensible, and could take damage and recover.

California's power grid is totally un-defensible. So is New York's.

304 A PS to my 261 above:

Coastal areas might remain in fairly good shape if foreign nations will supply food and refined fuels, in mass quantities. But if both sides in the war have some of our attack submarines in their control, shipping will take a big hit until torpedo and mine supplies run low or run out. And that may never happen if NATO countries, Japan, and Australia sell weapons to one or both sides.

327 Until not very long ago I used to think people on the Left were capable of genuine doublethink, that they could (and did) spend decades falsely accusing conservatives of wanting to stifle free speech and crush all dissent. Then, whey they themselves achieved the global tech base to do exactly that, THEY set about to stifle free speech and dissent but, due to doublethink, truly don't see it as such.

I won't be giving them that excuse anymore. At least for the movers and shakers if not the thug drones, doublethink does not exist and never did.

They are Thought Police, yes, but there's not an O'Brien among them. There's not one with the dubious honor of at least believing the self-refuting lies he spouts as he tortures Winston. It's just the simple old brazen hypocrisy of all communists. They know 100% of the time what they're doing and why. They simply ignore everyone who says they're lying hypocrites, or silence them. Because they can. The tech base that aligns with them now lets them do it.

At Yale, he was screamed at over his statements that maybe not all Halloween costumes deemed offensive should be censored. He made some statements that would seem to allow people to naturally segregate by race or other normal factors, but that we can still have community.

imo, it is the forced integration of mostly white communities that causes trouble, and that was Obama's goal ... "must break up white suburbia". So move welfare house into the middle of a white neighborhood ... that will fix things.

And Muslims self segregate, but are being funded and forced into American life, then demand we change. People get along, but there is a war against white America, or at least against Trump voter America (even blacks that vote Trump are now KKK to the far leftist hater)

The scene opens with him trying to talk on campus, and a black woman screaming at him, telling him to shut up, only she can talk, she wants him fired. He actually survives to continue working at Yale.

You may be right. But can the Red State military adequately defend against our own weaponry?

It's my understanding that large transformers are long-lead items. Maybe our power grids are protected against this, maybe not.

go read the case histories of the 5 men slated for execution. Note that there is absolutely no doubt, not even a tiny bit of it, as to the guilt of any of them. Note the nature of their crimes.

We allow the instantaneous death penalty to be applied to anyone who even threatens a cop, or a citizen, with deadly force. Why the squeamishness when it gets put off so due process can be observed?

In any future "civil war", I envision the official military sitting it out and staying in their barracks. The action will be small group and private.

If the military *does* get involved, then our only hope is that there's a Pinochet or a Franco on top at the time, and not a Trotsky. But either way, if that happens it's going to be Lord Protector of the Commonwealth time for quite a few years after that. Civilian government won't survive.

When you get in the really deep weeds with that type, you'll find it usually comes down (for them) to race/biology more than religion or philosophy. Jews are not merely Christ killers -- they are wholly non-human, truly "other," almost an alien race and so justifiably treated as such. It's shot full of holes and raises more questions than they can answer but that's the logic I've seen at times when they get nailed down by your question.

Usually, when an active military member commits a serious crime, civilian and military prosecutors meet to discuss jurisdiction. Either party can (usually) file charges, so the real discussion is who has the more severe punishment, easier to meet criminal elements, etc.

And to the Zionist conspiracy theorists, I would add as a person who has known Jews all of his life, if they did actually run the world, it wouldn't be nearly as much of a god-awful shitshow.

Jews are generally a very competent people, I see no evidence of competence in globalist leadership.

387 @382
Personally I think Jordan Peterson's explanation of Ashkenazic IQ deviations is the most elegant theory that explains most of "disproportionate" Jewish representation at the top of many organizations (good ones and bad ones). Basically in a competitive environment if x% of your population disproportionately occupies the top 1% of achievement in a given field, they will be a far greater proportion of its leaders. Not arguing for any kind of genetic superiority, but it has more to do with ditribution, like more men are morons and geniuses than women, and as a result (apart from behavior, which is a whole, other, large kettle of fish) are naturally going to occupy the majority of leadership positions in STEM.

It's not just raising rates that is the problem. AT&T dropped NFL Network and NFL Redzone. Right before the NFL Draft a couple months ago.

If they don't fix that contract situation with the NFL soon (season starts in 6 weeks), they are going to see a LOT more customers drop (including me).
