The Morning Rant
Of course, sudden and opportunistic rule changes are just one aspect of progressives' miniscule attention span. We also get sudden and opportunistic rewrites of history like this:
So national politics was all skittles and rainbow unicorn farts before Trump. Right. I'm old enough to remember when George Bush was called Hitler by the left I'm old enough to remember when Dick Cheney was called Hitler by the left (well, Himmler, but that's pretty much the same thing) I'm old enough to remember when Mitt Romney (Milquetoast Mitt!) was called Hitler by the left I'm old enough to remember when John McCain was called Hitler by the left I'm old enough to remember when Sarah Palin was called Hitlerby the left. Heck, even Bob Freaking Dole was called Hitler by the left. The internet isn't turning up any clever pics or memes, but I'm old enough to remember. And of course, I'm old enough to remember when Richard Nixon was called Hitler by the left. (Good retrospective of this phenomenon here.) So this looks like it's going to turn into a 2020 campaign theme for the Democrats. That is, everything was great until the divisive Trump came along and dragged us all down to hell, we can go back to the status quo ante by getting rid of Trump. And this lame tweet was in response to another lame tweet by fake conservative uber-grifter Bill Kristol, so you know the NeverTrumpers are going to be solidly behind this, too. But the reason it's so noisy is that we finally have a leader on our side who actually fights. And part of being a good fighter is knowing exactly who and what the enemy is and not being afraid to call them out publicly. And this includes refusing to go along with the pretense that the media is just sitting there on the sidelines refereeing the game when they're actually blocking and tackling for the other side. The point is, the howling SJW mobs didn't start with Trump. They just got a lot louder. And when they call for peace, peace, when there is no peace, the meaning of peace is actually different for each side. For their side, it'll be the peace of victory, for us, it's the peace of servitude.It’s sad that before Trump, both left and right got along (for the most part).

Since Trump, he’s purposely driven a wedge between us that may be too deep to pull out. That’s the strategy.
Divide and conquer.
It wouldn’t have happen without Barr and McConnell. #indictments
Kristol: "Humungus Is A Reasonable Man..."
If you don’t want a “left-wing cultural revolution,” or want to minimize the illiberal and deleterious aspects of such a revolution, I think it’s pretty clear you should want Biden as president for the next four years, not a re-elected Trump.

Way to go, Bill. You've gone all the way. Congratulation
Bill Kristol is deceitful tool who is on the wrong the side, but this is something even worse. This reveals, categorically, that Bill Krisol is a sissy. He has no balls. He is an intellectual and practical panty-waist.
Allow me to translate this particularly pernicious piece of nonsense:
"If you don't want the foundation of the American republic to be so outwardly, visibly and publicly destroyed, bow down to the terrorists and put them back in office. They will stop openly terrorizing you, and go back to implementing their agenda more quietly."

Their fundamental sense of right and wrong is different than ours, and not based on actions, so actions can be right or wrong based simply on who took those actions. They arrive at a conclusion based on victimology, then select the facts that may support the conclusion and ignore any evidence to the contrary, because the evidence isn't important to knowing who or what is right or wrong, only identity group affiliation matters.

Don't take her lightly - she openly represents the Deep State, and with everyone knowing that Biden will be gone not long after his inauguration, She will be the person through whom the Deep State reaches out and openly takes control of the Office of the Presidency for itself. Through that control, the Deep State will be able to cement its control over the Bureaucracy and the Judiciary, and there will never be another honestly contested election in our lifetimes.
That's the plan they have for us.

He's saying that Trump is the sole source of all political malfunction in America today. The proposed solution is to remove him, and all will return to normal.
I'm sure the left will say, "Good, Trump's gone, now let's stop attacking Founding Father monuments."

this is a purely political decision, based on no "facts" at all. The Judge is using a "mother may I" procedural game to hand the enviro-left a huge victory, simple because he thinks they will win in November and it will be sustained. Meanwhile, the oil producing fields in North Dakota are going to lose their markets and there will be massive job losses. But to this judge, that's a feature, not a bug.

I came to the conclusion a while ago that those who proclaim to be progressive, left, whatever, are mentally arrested in their development. Their decisions and life outlook is that of what you see in ten year olds. "Because" is the response to any question or argument, due to their inability to empathize, use logic and see things from other's viewpoints. They also often lack experience in consequences for actions, like an overprotected ten year old.

After a month of kabuki between rioters and the Portland police, where rioters do their best to trash downtown Portland, and the Portland cops generally allow them to do it, dozens of US Marshals, Border Patrol, and ICE agents were deployed to downtown Portland last night to protect the Federal courthouse. They routed Antifa.
The Federal courthouse in downtown Portland has been badly vandalized, and on July 4th dozens of commercial-grade fireworks were fired at the courthouse, in an effort to start a fire. Apparently the Feds decided that enough was enough.
The Portland cops practice kabuki with Antifa - they have a sound truck that announces dozens of times that people have to leave before any action is taken. Naturally, the announcements are ignored. When Portland police finally take action, they advance slowly, shoulder to shoulder, giving people plenty of time to get away.
The Federal agents don't bother with a sound truck, and their response to being attacked is to charge then rioters in a loose formation. Antifa didn't know how to deal with this.
The rioters are used to Portland police tolerating a lot of abuse before making any response. The Feds don't do that - a single glass bottle was thrown at the Feds, and their response was to immediately charge the crowd. One guy whacked at a boarded up window at the courthouse with a piece of wood (which would be ignored by the Portland cops), and several Feds sprinted over to arrest the guy.
Amazing the results you get when the laws were enforced.
I'm sure the ACLU will be in Federal court in Portland today to get a judge to order the Feds to stop their effective tactics, but it's the building that the judges work in that Antifa is trying to burn down, so we shall see.

++++++++++++++++++
I hate to say it, but I think you're missing the point entirely. It isn't that we have a conflict between right and wrong in terms of "I think this thing is right, and my opponent thinks this other thing is right." The conflict is not that at all. The conflict is more fundamental than that. It is around the concept itself. One side believes in right and wrong conceptually, though may disagree amongst themselves as to the particulars. The other side doesn't believe in right and wrong *at all.*
The contemporary Left and its postmodernist philosophy doesn't even acknowledge right and wrong. They pretend to, but there is no substance behind those declarations. They are entirely and exclusively concerned with power. In their academic prattle it is about "shifting dominance hierarchies" but in reality is animalistic power play. The strong dominates the weak and bends the weak to its will. They put a low of window dressing on this, but it is what it is. "Right and wrong" as a concept has no meaning. It is exclusively and entirely a bending and reworking of dominance hierarchies to place themselves at the top and get whatever they want. The concept of an absolute - or even merely anchored - "right and wrong" does not exist in their philosophy.

This frustrates me a great deal as well, and its a symptom of having 16 years of far left presidents picking extremist freak judges unopposed, with 8 years of Bush not picking very good judges.
The Supreme Court is not amused by this either, but they are powerless to do anything about it. They can mutter dark annoyance at the repeated, childish, radical abuses of power by lower courts, but have no power whatsoever to punish or stop them. All they can do is waste time negating these lunatic orders over and over.
It used to damage your chances at advancement and be an awful blight on your record as a judge to have a higher court overrule or throw out a case you ruled on. It used to be painful and regrettable to have a higher court vacate your idiot ruling.
But modern radical leftist judges consider a mark of honor, an award for their "speaking truth to power" and fighting against the Man.

their development. Their decisions and life outlook is that of what you
see in ten year olds. "Because" is the response to any question or
argument, due to their inability to empathize, use logic and see things
from other's viewpoints. They also often lack experience in
consequences for actions, like an overprotected ten year old.

Kamala was the DNC choice, she was supposed to be the one. They will shoehorn her in there come hell or high water. And magically, all the stories of her misdeeds will disappear just like Biden's rape accusers, and all the people who say that she's awful and bad for blacks will suddenly worship at her feet.

I think its spiritual development. To be sure, they are often arrested in intellectual maturity and emotional maturity as well, but I think those are symptoms.
These are people who decided life is about themselves and what they feel, that there is no higher calling, there is no greater purpose, and there is no transcendent reality. All there is is them, and the world around them.
So what make them feel bad is defined as bad. What makes them feel smart is defined as intelligent.
And the worst possible response to someone like this is to encourage it and nurture this narcissistic, materialist attitude toward life. And that's what culture and schools have been doing to children increasingly for at least four generations now.
We've gone from "we should listen to young people" to "young people innately know the truth and what should be done, and old age and external influence ruins that. We should not teach them, we should learn from them instead."

The Netflix series is burdened by dragging a story out to eight episodes or whatever when they don't really have an eight episode story to tell.
Turning Ryan's boss into a sympathetic Muslim character who pretty much prays and talks like a Christian was a bit rich.

I think that was problematic for movies, where the big money was. So he wrote Patriot Games to be an action movie. Shorter than all the others, and Ryan is pre-limp. But that isn't the movie that got made first.

I'll never forget Obama smirking as he said at a rally, "You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a PIG!"--to laughter. This was days after called herself a Mama Grizzly ( or something) with lipstick.
Oh man, did they circle the wagons for that one.
Every pundit--including the late Krauthammer--went out of their way to say Obama wasn't referring to Palin.
Imagine if Trump said that about a Dem chick?

Saying man does not cause global warming can get a scientist fired, his papers blocked, no grants without bowing to the AGW cult.
Saying all lives matter could get a business burned tot he ground.
Saying there are two sexes can get professors fired.
Much of this propaganda has penetrated deeply into our culture, resulting in real punishment for the non-compliant. The punishment is nothing about equal treatment, it is not compliance to our constitution, but to a completely unconstitutional cult of terror, based in racism and Marxism.
It is an engineered effort from criminal oligarchs like Soros, and a compliment of enemy nations and regimes ... enemies of Individual Liberty -- they are gangsters.

Or they needed more trained agents than they had US Marshals in Portland, so they pulled Border Patrol people down from the Canadian border, which is a few hours away. There were a lot of Feds in downtown Portland last night.
The other change last night was that previously the Feds were only going after people trespassing on Federal property (leaving people to fire fireworks from a distance), and last night they secured a few blocks around the Federal building.
I bet the ACLU will be arguing that the Fed agents should be restricted to Federal property, which would largely eliminate their usefulness.

I watched Hamilton last night, and it's interesting to see it in today's environment.
Hamilton was obviously an attempt to lay some claim to the founding fathers by a minority immigrant, latching onto Hamilton because of his immigrant status and stand against slavery.
There's a lot of slavish attention to Washington to the point that when Hamilton slams Jefferson for owning slaves, it's never mentioned that Washington had them either.
This cultural revolution has moved far in the last...four years.

SCOTUS rules unanimously that states can punish faithless electors who decide to show up for the Electoral College vote and cast their ballots against the way their states voted.
This actually bothers me. Electors have to be free to choose the way they believe the election should go or all they are is a formality. They're meant to be the last barrier to something horrendous happening in the country. Not that I trust anyone these days to have the honor, integrity, or wisdom to do so, but that was their design.
Saying "well if they vote differently than the population then they just get overruled" negates a rather large part of the reason for the electoral college.

Kagan says nope:
"The States have devised mechanisms to ensure that the electors they
appoint vote for the presidential candidate their citizens have
preferred. With two partial exceptions, every State appoints a slate of
electors selected by the political party whose candidate has won the
State's popular vote," writes Justice Elena Kagan in the majority
opinion.
She specifies that it is the individual State's popular vote in the opinion.

Yeah, but the problem is that if Biden is forced to stay on the ballot in only a few states, that destroys the Democrats' chances.
Biden will either resign right after the nomination, so the DNC can parachute a hand-picked candidate in, when there is still time to change state ballots, or he'll resign after being inaugurated.

Christopher, I was wondering how this ties in with the contract among several states to give all of their electoral votes to the national popular vote winner. That was intended to hurt Trump because last time Hillary "won" the popular vote and Dems think the Den candidate will win the popular vote this time as well. This ruling sounds like it is based on state popular vote, but I haven't talked the time to read it yet.

And then there are movies like the one featured on Rifftrax, "Merlin, the Return." As they noted, that movie had about 12 major scenes, which could have been played in any order at all without changing anything about it.

The reality is that Obama started off claiming the police in Boston acted stupidly in 2009, we got the Trayvon riots in 2012, the Kimani Gray riots in 2013, the Eric Garner and Michael Brown riots in 2014, the Freddie Gray riots in 2015, the Philando Castile and Sylville Smith riots in 2016 topped off by the murder of 5 cops in Dallas.
Electing Biden won't reduce the number of riots. They'll increase exponentially under Biden. Communists need scapegoats and riots to distract the people from the failures of the Communists.

To be fair, it was Clancy's first novel (I think). But it is full of narration and info dumps, some of which are interesting a la Michael Crichton (I love being lectured to by him) and some which are not. The tremendous tension and excitement of the movie just wasn't on the page.
Other films like that: Die Hard, Wolfen, and Jaws.

The BNSF has done booming business in oil transport, and has made Buffet significantly richer. He also has interesting cross-border deal in place to route through Canada to reduce certain costs.
I doubt he is behind it, though, at least not exclusively. Not having a pipeline is great for 'ole George, but the oil fields disappearing would be fairly bad. He doesn't need (and I suspect he doesn't care much about) money and is playing a bigger game, but I have trouble seeing even him financing the destruction of the Dakotas oil business. I think he's okay with that outcome, and will take the short-term gains, but I reckon there are other players.

All thing's the left does only needs to be viewed through this perspective, will this action gain us more power?
That's it, it does not need to make sense, very little they do does.
And further still, who will make them hold to a constancy?
The GOP?
The GOP couldn't even put together a two paragraph mission statement let alone organize enough of it's inbred chuckle heads to take on the left over demonstrable lies.
But I hear the GOP is going to give up Columbus Day, rename military bases and other assorted horseshit in exchange for some corporate tax cuts and infrastructure spending, so we have that to look forward to.
Also it's July, something supposed to happen in July?
I know something was supposed to happen in June, but didn't happen.
If not July, then perhaps August?
September?

Nah can't be October, that would be very close to the election.

That's still a huge lawsuit waiting to happen, and because the SCOTUS does not issue advisory opinions, it can not happen unless and until this actually takes place.
So what the NPV means in practice is that, if it is in place, any national election results will be contested in Court for at least 6 months, and then the next President will be chosen by the Supreme Court. Which, as soon as leftists are confident they can control the SCOTUS, will be the system they want this country to have for the rest of it's existence. Doing what the People want will be a distant memory.

Clancy was VERY good at mulitple POVs and complex plots that, in the end, click together like tumblers in a lock.
Some of that length comes from giving you time to know relatively minor characters, so their actions or inactions at the critical moment make sense.
It's not a luxury a new writer would be given, but once you're a name author, no one edits you, as you said. But Clancy at least uses his extra length to develop his characters and plot. As much as I'd like the pace stepped up, I appreciate what he's doing and try to learn from it.
Posted by: Mark Andrew Edwards, Never Kneel, Free WA, Buy Ammo at July 06, 2020 12:07 PM (l4C/z)
It's interesting to note that the movie had to info dump for the viewer by having various characters over explain things, even to the point of having the captain of the Dallas being clueless as to why Ramius was heading into the oncoming Russian torpedo. If any of the other characters were to have understood that tactic, it would be the other sub captain in the room, but for tension and information they had to have him come off a little bit stupid.

She discovered that her family's wealth resulted from the displacement of a Indigenous family from their land. She has vowed that when she gets her inheritance, she will give it all back to the Native community.

There are two lefts. The old ones used to not care about logic because in the end it was about power. So they created endless Illogical inconsistencies that still haunt them to this day.
However, their followers grew up with the inconsistencies. The attempts to make them fit logically has created massive cognitive dissonance. It has basically evolved into this new woke religion, based on crazy people trying to hold multiple inconsistencies in their heads at one time. Thats not healthy, and it has led to massive mental illness.
This is the new left, and they are like mad dogs.
In that we might have to put them down. It is a fanatical, violent religion and they will not stop.
Think of them as woke terminators. You cannot reason with them. They will be relentless. And they will not stop until you (and the rest of us) are dead or imprisoned. Even conversion will not be good enough for them. Conversion means sackcloth and ashes and to the bottom of the hierarchy you go.

As far as the Left/ Progressives having no grasp of right or wrong, truth or
falsehood ... our universities long ago stopped teaching that the human faculty of Reason should be engaged in seeking Truth. Truth (or you could call it Reality) has become passe.
The *new* highest goal of education is to "Effect Change". Really. Ask them. The whole point of education (well, besides the hallowed piece of paper that guarantees Mo' Money, Honey) is to train young people in how to Change The World. The educrats and activists glorify "change" as the solution all problems. Don't bother wasting valuable time debating and defining a problem, assessing the costs and benefits of multiple solutions, and establishing metrics to gauge results. Just Do It (to borrow a phrase).
The kids are idealists, and never stop to consider that there are always unintended consequences. The old Marxists who push this view know that changing everything willy-nilly is destabilizing to social order, but hey! that's the whole point. They carefully explain to their chargelings that any resistance to their wonderful plans for Change PROVES how depraved, indifferent, greedy, racist, --pick a pejorative-- those heartless soulless conservatives truly are.
So anyway, when we've got big swaths of society who hold vastly different First Principles -- Reality/Practicality vs the Moral Imperative to Change It All Right Now -- we're not communicating, we're all talking past each other and wondering "What the hell is your problem that you don't SEE my point of view?"
