The Morning Rant

I would guess many of you miss the old-school conservatism like I sometimes do. I'm talking about stuff like this:

"I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them. It is not to inaugurate new programs, but to cancel old ones that do violence to the Constitution or that have failed their purpose, or that impose on the people an unwarranted financial burden. I will not attempt to discover whether legislation is 'needed' before I have first determined whether it is constitutionally permissible. And if I should later be attacked for neglecting my constituents' 'interests', I shall reply that I was informed that their main interest is liberty and that in that cause I am doing the very best I can."

--Barry Goldwater

Remember the good old days when we could have serious discussions about the constitutional limits of government, and if the myriad government programs we have put in place actually met the constitutional requirement? And how much we would be able to reduce the size and scope of government, and how the first priority of the government was to protect the freedoms and liberty of American citizens?

Yeah, me neither. That is to say, I would dearly like to get back to the point where we could talk about things like this, but we are far beyond this. In fact, we are not even within shouting distance of it. Our disagreements with progressives are not over the size and scope of government, but down lower, way lower, down at some basic, fundamental level where questions about the very nature of men and things must be resolved.

Well, that and them wanting us dead. That has to be resolved, too.

Heh. "Rapid unscheduled disassembly." That's funny.

Hey, I got your rapid unscheduled disassembly right here. (link is to YouTube).

"Elected officials who are complaining about being traumatized by citizens showing up to the Capitol may wish to consider that it could never be as bad as the experience of citizens getting a visit at home by representatives of the federal government."

Greetings, Fellow Racists:

Perhaps JJ Sefton linked to this already, but it's worth noting:

One of the last acts of the Trump Administration was the release on Monday of the “1776 Report”—a 45-page document by the President’s Advisory 1776 Commission “summarizing the principles of the American Founding and how those principles have shaped our country.”

Sounds straightforward enough. But as a rebuke of the New York Times‘ false and misleading “1619 Project,” the commission’s work to promote patriotic education was bound to stoke controversy. Sure enough, the report was immediately blasted by the press and left-wing academics as “biased” and “racist,” among other smears.

Naturally, one of the first acts of the Biden administration was to abolish the 1776 Commission (one of his early EOs), because shut up, that's why. This means that it's now going to be all Critical Race Theory all the time. Yeah, baby!

And of course, Biden's diligently minions scrubbed the 1776 Commission's final report from the White House site, but it is still archived at the Trump White House site, which apparently is required by law.

You can download the 1776 Commission's final report as a pdf document at this link.

AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List

Please submit any prayer requests to “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo atsign hotmail dot com.

Prayer Requests:
12/2 – Sgt. Mom is asking for prayers for her daughter and unborn grandson, Jamie. The Daughter Unit is 40, this is her first pregnancy, and because of her age, this is considered a high-risk pregnancy, with an elevated chance of Downs’ Syndrome for Jamie. They had an ultrasound this week and an amniocentesis is scheduled for the week of Christmas. The Daughter Unit will carry on with the pregnancy regardless – but prayers for a healthy, normal child are humbly requested.
1/6 Update – Sgt. Mom sends her gratitude for the prayers, and they found out yesterday that her unborn grandson is healthy and developing normally. No spina bifida, and no trisomy disorders were found!
12/9 – Roxxee asks for prayers for her daughter, who has developed a severe addiction to prescription Adderall, and is now in deep psychosis. She has cut herself off from family and friends and will not respond to any of them. Praying for a Christmas miracle that she wakes up from her psychosis and gets help.
1/4 Update – Roxxee reports: God works in mysterious ways. On the Tuesday before Christmas, her daughter’s mental health tragically deteriorated. However, this event enabled them to get her in a treatment facility where she is finally getting the intensive help she needs. Roxxee asks for continued prayers that the doctors help her and she is able to make a full recovery.
12/12 – Katya, the designated driver sends an update that she was in the ER with shortness of breath last weekend, and has found she has a blood clot in her lung now. The blood thinner she was on for the clot in her leg wasn’t doing the job, so she is giving herself injections twice a day of enoxaparin sodium. She feels good, mostly. She sends her thanks for prayers and support through her chemo treatments.
12/29 Update: Last week was her last chemo treatment. She still has 4 infusion treatments of Keytruda, which is the immunotherapy drug that is still in clinical trials in the US. She has an appointment on Wednesday with the surgeon to scheduler her mastectomy. She sends thanks for continued prayers and support.
1/19 Update – Katya’s surgery was pushed back to the 28th because she has pneumonia.
12/22 – Homer’s Donuts asks for prayers for work. He was laid off on 12/22 with only a few days of notice, and it feels horrible not knowing when the next paycheck is going to come.
1/11 Update – Homer’s Donuts has an interview on 1/13 that is well suited to his career experience. Please pray for that to work out well!
12/29 – NavyMom requests prayers for her family. Their daughter decided to cut NavyMom and her husband out of her life and her children’s lives. NavyMom’s husband is having lunch with her daughter’s fiancé on Wednesday, so prayers for the right words and hearts to be softened.
12/30 Update – NavyMom reports that the lunch went well, and they are hopeful that the divide can be healed. The next step will be lunch with their daughter. Prayers are still needed for hearts to continue to be softened. NavyMom sends her thanks!
12/30 – Prayers of healing are needed for Tikvah, who had part of her foot amputated today and requests prayers. She needs to stay totally off it for 6 weeks to heal.
12/30 – Fox2! requests prayers for his niece, VM, who is pregnant at a relatively high age for being prima (first birth).
1/6 – NaughtyPine has several requests: For the family and friends of Art, who they lost suddenly in late November. The tears come and he’s missed terribly. For the family of Russ, especially his children who are currently estranged from each other. Family healing would make it easier on everyone. For Michele, who lost her ailing father on New Year’s Day. Her “baby” brother died suddenly last March. She is now the sole survivor of her immediate family.
1/8 – Captain Whitebread requests the means to get an eye exam and some new glasses. His current glasses are 4 years old, and he can see distances fine, but his up-close work is blurry. Since he works around computer screens all day, that’s a big problem. His side jobs have all shut down due to Covid, so he’s barely getting the bills paid now; there is nothing to spare.
1/18 – Pollywog the ‘Ette requests prayers for “Thing From Snowy Mountain”. His sister just passed away from Covid caught due to a suppressed immune system from chemo. His mom is in her 80s and also caught it, leading to hospitalization and was put on a ventilator (although she has been allowed to remain conscious). He needs comfort, physical endurance/strength, and positive human interaction. Prayers for provision and a better job would also be helpful.
1/20 – Washington Nearsider requests prayers for his mental and financial stability as he leaves his marital home after several years of debating the issue back and forth. Nearly all of the familial debt is in his name, and he is moving into a one-bedroom apartment with only a mattress and computer. Prayers for his wife that she finds peace and grace, and for his two children (ages six and four) that they come through this difficult time with resiliency, maintaining their joy, and exuberance for life.
2/1 – Hrothgar requests prayers for an upcoming, non-optional, non-trivial surgery on Thursday (2/4/2021), followed by several days in the hospital for follow-up. His original cancer diagnosis (from back in November) remains confirmed, but the follow-up biopsy shows clear margins as of today, for which he is thanking God. He’d also like a prayer for DaughterH as she strives to keep everything on an even keel for him!
2/1 – Tonypete asks for prayers for his buddies Jenny and John, who were moved to hospice care this week. Pray for a peaceful and easy transition to their final rewards. Jenny has been suffering for years from cancer and John found out 6 weeks ago he had giloblastoma. He declined remarkably quickly.

For Healing:
12/21 – Toad-O requests prayers for his mother, who has just tested positive for covid-19. She is 88 years old and in a nursing home.
1/18 Update – Toad-O reports that his mother was released from quarantine and is back in her old room. She never did have any Covid symptoms. Prayers answered.
1/10 – Annie’s Stew requests prayers for healing and protection for a sweet young family, expecting their first baby. The mom-to-be has many health issues, and now the dad-to-be just found out that he has lymphoma.
1/13 - Coelacanth asks for prayers for a friend’s son who was snowboarding and had an accident. He was undergoing spinal surgery last night, and it is feared he may never walk again. His name is Gavin.

For submission guidelines and other relevant info, please contact Annie's Stew, who is managing the prayer list. You can contact her at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com.

If you see a prayer request posted in a thread comment, feel free to copy and paste it and e-mail it to Annie's Stew. She tries to keep up with the requests in the threads, but she's not here all of the time, so she may not see it unless you e-mail it to her.

Please note: Prayer requests are generally removed after five weeks or so unless we receive an update.

Please remember the Prayer of St. Francis:

Keep calm and pray on!

I did not know that Jared Leto is also musically talented: he does lead vocals, rhythm guitar, and writes songs for the band Thirty Seconds to Mars. Both Leto and Ms. Witt starred in the 1998 film Urban Legend.

7 Goldwater was a good cat, but he got CRUSHED. Which is why liberals "tolerate" his ideals so much after portraying him as a nuke nut. Reagan was good, but the Bushes completely destroyed his non-Soviet legacy. George W had a much bigger effect on Republican policy, Reagan mainly influenced the rhetoric the main party used to lie to us.

And Trump is supremely different. He brought policy and rhetoric to the table, and built a legacy so strong the GOP is committing overt suicide to try and stop it. But electoral politics is officially dead in America, so who cares? They should fear Trump's 80 million fans like grim death.

15 Speaking of big government, hubby is flying today for the first time in 2 weeks.

Now the Biden's EO makes masks mandatory at federal facilities, apparently the airports and airlines have ramped up their nazi/karen tactics to 11.

They are now telling people they will face "criminal and civil" penalties - not for refusing the wear it, but for not wearing it correctly.

I think we'll cancel our future flights. No reason to put up with this bs while trying to have a good time.

42 Not only did no wall street gunslingers go to jail in 2008, neither did any government regulators - especially in the FDIC - who engaged in massive malfeasance and nonfeasance. Neither did any bankers. Neither did any politicians who were accepting massive bribes from bankers. Neither did anyone from ratings agencies who engaged in fraud on behalf of the issuers of highly structured or synthetic securities. Neither did any corporate executives who were cooking their books.

There was fraud aplenty leading up to the financial crisis, and no one was punished. A few lower-level guys got some wrist-slaps, and everyone helped themselves to our money and wrapped around the economy like a demented boa constrictor, strangling what was left to paper over their losses.

71 The world has lost its damn mind, entry #324,587.

Last week, a buddy invited me over to hang out eat chicken wings. He called in an order to a wing place and I picked it up since the place was on my way. I parked and walked up and all of the doors have big signs that no customers are allowed in because they're renovating. There were no instructions for pickup. I peered through the doors and find a guy behind the counter through one of them.

So I opened the door (but didn't enter) and shouted out to him, "Hello! How do I pick up an order?" He replied, "Oh, no problem! Just call or text us!"

I paused a moment and said, "Or, since I'm already here, could I just give you my name?"

He looked dumbfounded for a moment and then reset, took my name, and they sent out my order.

WTF is going on? Did the 'Rona break *everyone?*

Much like Trump saying Mexico would pay for the wall assumed a wall, and changed the conversation away from "wall or no wall".

By forcing discussions over bathrooms and cakes and women's sports the Left has made government intrusion into your minute to minute life an assumption rather than an argument.

116 My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

Barry the G grokked some things. Chief among them is the knowledge that under our particular form of government, we are free to do anything unless there is a specific law to prevent it. Thus, each new law restricts our God-given freedom. Having lots of federal agencies issuing diktats all the time does the same thing without wasting the time of crafting a law.

Now you know why government and civics are no longer taught in skools. That type of knowing just might lead citizens to understand just how bad things have become with commie progressive Democrats in charge. And they cannot abide anyone knowing the truth about them.

Yep, that's about it. I was gonna use the smoker, but it's 28 degrees this morning here in Music City, so FABOT (F*ck A Bunch Of That). The crockpot is my fallback position.

One small bottle apple juice, small cocktail can of coca-cola (no Mexican glass bottle coke available at Kroger last night), one packet of Lipton onion soup mix. Pork goes fat side up in the crockpot, dump everything in, cook on low for about 7 hours. Once the bone is able to come out easily, pull it out, shred the meat, add a bottle of Sweet Baby Ray's, stir it up, cook on low for another hour.

Some folks might add a drop or two of liquid smoke when using the crockpot, and I can't fault them for that. A wee bit of worcestershire sauce doesn't hurt either. Oh, and I'mma add a couple teaspoons of Crystal hot sauce when I add the BBQ sauce, too.

122 Pic 4 of Hazel is from when she played "Lenore" in the Raven, with Vincent Price and Boris Karloff, directed by Roger Corman. It's one of my favorite Vincent Price movies for a number of reasons, mainly having to do with the backstories of everyone involved. Richard Matheson wrote the script - he's one of my favorite script writers, and they were supposed to do a dramatization of the poem by Edgar Allen Poe. (that's the concept they had sold their financial backers) BUT Roger Corman thought that was dumb and wouldn't work, and he talked Matheson into saying "oh well, fuggit" and he wrote an incredibly silly but hilarious script full of wizard battles and slapstick.

And then the interplay on screen is just as fun - Vincent Price and Boris Karloff are the two old pros, and you can tell they are having the time of their lives i these two rolls, you can almost sense them giving each other a wink and a nudge before each new outrageous scene, and rolling their eyes at the rest of the cast. The other two notables are Peter Lorre and young Jack Nicholson; Nicholson is just bad, and Lorre is obviously drunk off his ass in every scene.

177 "not one government employee (appointed, hired, or elected) went to jail for forcing banks to take bad loans on home mortgages. ---* That rancid rat bastard McStain was actually the GOP stooge for president after the Keating 5 debacle." --

another "misgiving" about Jarvanka was their relationship with Jamie Gorelick, who also ran Fannie (no finance experience) and profited with $26.4M including bonuses, for selling junk bonds as AAA (but she was never charged). Franklin Raines was part of that con, and before the collapse, testified to congress that it was safe to leverage 50:1 (at the time they were ~25:1). Of course he was very wrong, but still got his bonuses and no prison (paid back $24.7M). --The con of extracting America's wealth has gone on a long time, and the real theft is trillions, not millions. But those making millions pave the way for the oligarchs in the shadows. And here we are ... they just openly stole an election and are exposing their iron fist, globalist plans. imo.

Yeah, I did. I was dreading it because the first one made me dizzy and VERY lethargic for a day. Yesterday's just made me a bit tired for a few hours, but that was it. Sore arm today, not unlike a regular flu shot. My husband had zero side effects, except the sore arm for a day. So glad the anxiety is over.

My surgeon told me he had the same extreme lethargy after his first shot. His nurse said the second one gave her chills, body ache, and fever for a couple of days.

Very few people will ever pay that fee, and the government knows it. No one can comfortably add 25%-100% of the price to a good of any kind. The point of this is three-fold:
- Raise a tiny amount of revenue from those who buy firearms professionally (bodyguards, etc.)
- Put weapons stores out of business by drying up their markets
- Compel people who want a weapon to buy it the way gangbangers buy them: on the black market. Thus they can criminalize mere possession and arbitrarily arrest and condemn people (like most laws are used, only this one being more severe).

216 96 The Waco tragedy was a classic Big Government and Big Media collusion effort to create a money feedback loop. Let's listen in on a conference, shall we?
"OK, boys, soon, the House is considering the ATF budget for next year. We need a big splash, something to show how indispensable we are to the USA. Who's got something?"
"I got something, boss. Crazy preacher guy in Waco, deals in guns, has his own church and followers live on the property."
"Sounds good, let's go with it. Make sure you notify the news. I want big headlines."

Somewhere along the line the idea of Prosecutorial Discretion morphed from 'can I win this case', to do I enforce this law I don't like.

Court's bought off on it somehow.

Then Obama's AG Holder decided the President has Prosecutorial Discretion, and so can decide what laws to enforce. His 'orders' are couched in that language, so he does not need to CHANGE the law, or even the Constitution, he just uses his Prosecutorial discretion, which the Court's will not second guess.

263 'A good polity makes few laws and changes them seldom, for it merely codifies what the vast majority of the citizens are going to do anyway.'
That is why that can only exist in a homogeneous society that agrees on what is good and true and what is evil.
A diverse society has to adopt legal remedies for clashes between different cultures or allow some cultures/areas to ignore the law while applying it to others. Often it requires something like an emperor/king/dictator/bureaucrats with deadly coercive force in order to maintain public order.
If a society has a diverse culture, the way out of the dictator trap requires maximizing power for for localism and federalism with a very limited role for the national government in ordinary social legislation as it shrinks the scale of conflicts to a manageable level and ordinarily resolves by the dissatisfied leaving that locale and moving elsewhere.

264 Socially liberal libertarians used to point out to social conservatives that trying to re-instill traditional family values was a laughably quixotic goal post-'60s. It's come to the point that this is equally true of trying to downsize government. Pushing this line nowadays is tantamount to trying to bring back Victorian mores in an OnlyFans world. (And I was marinated in Reaganism in my youth.)

Turns out that pushing the small-govt line was all corporations cared about -- until the bigger corps realized that big govt hurts their competitors more. Couple that with a new generation of corp leaders brainwashed by a progressive educational system, and you've got a recipe for neofascism, which (no matter what the left says) is actually a unity between government and corporations. The neo version appears to be more globalist than nationalist.

It is remarkable to watch the swiftness with which the ideologies are splintering and switching positions on so many issues. Conservatives are waking up to the fact that corporations are no longer their friends, and perhaps the past four decades of materialist focus on profits uber alles was a mistake.

Or is our understanding of the said control and oppression increasing at exponential rates?

I personally believe it has always been headed in this direction. Pretty much always. Every law is basically a restriction on the ability to act, that is the nature of law.

There seems to be an acceleration of late, but I wonder if that is just my perception. If I stepped outside of current events and viewed it objectively on a timeline, is there truly is a "hockey stick" of oppression on the graph or just a standard steady line ever increasing in a positive correlation.

- Put weapons stores out of business by drying up their markets
- Compel people who want a weapon to buy it the way gangbangers buy them: on the black market. Thus they can criminalize mere possession and arbitrarily arrest and condemn people (like most laws are used, only this one being more severe).

This is exactly what I see as their game plan. They intend to isolate and pick people off one at a time. Obedience through fear. I also think they will aggressively go after the ammunition market as a flanking maneuver.

And I remember when I first saw Johnson's insidious nuke the flower girl propaganda. Guess that's why I'm not so surprised by the dirty tricksters of 2020.

But Frankenwoman and her lackeys covered it up on behalf of the hustler getting BJs in the Oval Office.

No conservative I have known my entire life ever believed that. They simply believed that capitalism is the least destructive economic system available, and that what we have now isn't capitalism, its cronyism.

SpaceX does the same thing. Landing the booster is to permit reuse and lower the average mission cost. Landing the booster is really hard and even when you have the system really well worked out (like they do on the Falcon rockets), it will still sometimes fail. But they don't have cargo and men in those stages when they attempt to recover them. Men and cargo return via splashdown, just like the old days.

I recall an issue which was discussed in the Challenger hearings - Prof. Feinman made the point, when discussing the booster design, that 99% reliability isn't nearly enough. If your system is only reliable 99% of the time, then 1 out of 100 flights you are going to kill everyone on board - and the Shuttle wasn't quite that good. 135 flights, and it killed everyone on board twice, that works out to 98.5% reliability.

You have to be perfect, every time, and I think there are far too many things that could go wrong for a tail landing space craft to ever achieve the required level of reliability.

(possible solution - you use AI's and robotic frames exclusively for space flight, linked to on the ground full time controllers, and then when you crash it's just tech that's lost, not people.

355 "275 random thought - I think Tesla has made a huge mistake in insisting that his space vehicles land on their tail in a controlled burn. The reason for doing it is that all the cool looking rockets in the 50's sci fi movies landed that way, but if any one in a thousand things go wrong, the entire thing blows up and everyone on it dies. There's a reason that NASA decided that big parachutes and water landings were the best way to go.

359 Then Obama's AG Holder decided the President has Prosecutorial Discretion, and so can decide what laws to enforce. His 'orders' are couched in that language, so he does not need to CHANGE the law, or even the Constitution, he just uses his Prosecutorial discretion, which the Court's will not second guess.

Except that Barky's "amnesty" orders did far more than just say "we're not prosecuting or deporting illegal aliens." They also said that we're going to give illegal aliens temporary green cards, and work permits, too, and we'll keep renewing them for as long as we feel like it. Because we can.

And even though that clearly was something that the executive is not unilaterally authorized to do by the constitution, courts basically just said "okay, whatever" and let him get away with the lawlessness. Because . . . . Obama.

and Flynn is a Democrat. Not sure what his "mission" was in Turkey, but his key offense seems to be his resistance to some of the DeepState criminal/globalist "shenanigans". (as opposed to his Trump support, except Trump could have given him the platform he needed) -- They didn't want someone in power that knew where the bodies were buried. ...
-- There are occasional sightings of "white hats", like Flynn, or the two guys Solomon says met him at his mailbox, or several "whistle blowers" that get attacked/fired. But they always get silenced or marginalized ... it would seem.

A newly proposed bill in New Mexico would criminalize parents from teaching children to shoot firearms without authorization from state authorities.

"A minor may be an authorized user only if the minor is at least twelve years of age and has successfully completed a firearm safety training course," the bill reads.

The bill, introduced by state Senator Antoinette Sedillo Lopez, would fine parents $1,000 for taking their "unauthorized" children shooting.

Aches pains, Yes. Anything else? He felt "unwell." You take anything? No.

490 referencing the Waco federal gov't intrusion into citizens lives. some time later, federal prosecutors tried the "Holy Land Foundation" case using mostly jurors pulled from Navarro county. Did not go well. The Feds tried their normal razal dazal and jurors were having none of it.

493 Who Knew the investigators into the death of Ashli Babbitt would lie? The article states, "[F]ootage, combined with witness accounts, seems to show that the
lieutenant, who has not been named, was left alone to confront a mob", yet I recall from watching the video after it happened, there were a few folks in the gallery with arms drawn around doors further down the hallway, so he was NOT alone. There was a video from what I belivve was the INSIDE where the cop was that I can't find anymore (Twatter has banned a number of those that had this video. The video showed as Ashli crossed the threshold of the window, she was shot). Well, there can't be too many leutenants working on the police force there, so 4-chan will probably figure out who it was.
