Insurrection Cafe: This and That Edition

Very cute video about a woman who trains a chipmunk to eat from her hand. It gets cuter later on when she starts feeding another chipmunk, and the first chipmunk, "Charlie," gets clearly jealous. I mean, the chipmunk refuses nuts from her even though she's pushing them into his mouth. He just refuses the nuts and deadeyes her.

Eventually he takes them, after he's made the point.

Also the girl is cute. Further, she wears Crocs, which indicates to me that she is sexually enlightened and understands that manhood is not determined by footwear choices.

This otter is too cute.

This dog has a very vigorous laying down protocol.

I'm linking this Steve Inman video with a trigger warning: this is very painful and results in a bad injury.

White Supremacist Q-Anon Insurrectionist brawl at Walmart.

41 Can't post a chart so here's the long hand comparison and conclusion of two similar cities; Chicago, Illinois and Houston, Texas - no addy.
The first reference number will be Chicago and the second, Houston:

Pop 2.7 million v 2.15 million, Median Household Income, $38,600 v $37,000, % African-American, 38.9% v 24%, % Hispanic, 29.9% v 44%, % Asian, 5.5% v 6%. ,% Non-Hispanic White, 28.7% v 26%
Number of Gun Stores: Chicago - 0. Houston - 184 dedicated gun stores plus 1500 legal places to buy guns--Wal-Mart, K-mart, sporting goods, etc.

Homicides: 2012, 1,806 v 207.
Homicides per 100K, 38.4 v 9.6.
Avg. January high temperature 31 - 63

Conclusion: Cold weather causes murders.
This is due to climate change.

Females often respond positively to the biggest, most dominant, violent bully in an environment. Not all of them. Certainly not the ones that have more reason than chromosomal instinct like the superior specimens here. But many, many will. And the left is the monster they are surrendering to.

A lot of the shift in society, and the great swaths of people dropping their masks and behaving in a cult-like manner is related to this. We haven't had a truly evil, massively powerful, worldwide force like today's left in many years. The left is announcing their presence to the world through their obvious and no longer veiled evil acts.

And people are choosing sides.

106 Biden is considering L.A.'s mayor Eric Garcetti for ambassador to India.
Mark Groubert compared this to President Truman making a Tammany Hall corrupt mayor ambassador to Mexico to avoid federal indictement.

He said, "there's a guy under investigation in a big city today and one guy after another keeps rolling over and it's getting closer and closer to that mayor of this big city, and that mayor is italian. and his name is Garcetti and Garcetti has been given the golden ticket to India by another Democratic president."

147 Years ago, I was driving downtown at night. A doper with a dopey look on his face attacked my 4Runner while I was stopped at a red light. He stood directly in front of my SUV and was pounding on the hood. I decided I wasn't going to wait for him to something even worse so I tuned a hard right and tried to ease past him but he clung on and was moving toward the driver's door. Then he wasn't and I felt a bump and stopped. Mrs. Wrecks jumped out and said I had parked on his leg. I eased off and called the cops. I saw his leg which clearly had the tread marks of my tire on it. The ambulance came, he got up and tried to run away. The cops came and knew him. They had no trouble believing my rather remarkable story. Anyway, I clearly ran over his leg but he still managed to shuffle away.

You feed them for a week and as soon as they hear that door open they would make a b line for the door. Smart little bastards. They would watch the squirrels bury stuff and then go dig it up when they left. The squirrels would climb the oak trees and bite off whole clusters of acorns, drop them to the ground, then go down the tree to retrieve them. Well, that was until the chip monks caught wind of it and started hauling them away before the squirrel could get them. Then the chip monks started climbing the trees, like way the hell up there and got their own acorns.

Not confronting, embracing. No one is confused about what side is what. Yes, one side is stronger. But don't think that good is symmetric with evil. There is not going to be a "good" antifa in opposition.

What is purely strong in the sense of the secular world might not even have a component in goodness. And what is good may not even be able to be seen as strong by many.

Many of us had the fortune of living during a brief window of time in which we could believe the deceit that goodness strength. I do not see people believing that anymore.

And for my usual reminder, Dr. Floyd Ferris:

Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it...There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted - and you create a nation of law-breakers - and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with."

218 $43 is easy to spend on Nigiri Sushi a la carte. They have some good places in DC or in the area. I was going to mention Sushi Ko but it looks like it is closed, over a "tax issue". That was one of the original places, one of the best in the country for obvious reasons. The obvious reason was the Japanese embassy was nearby, things just work out that way. The other one i went to way back when seems closed to. That place was as Japanese as you could get, even with the cramped tables for Americans. It was called Makota I believe. Not only Sushi, but you would get ten or 12 courses, very small courses.

I first had sushi in Raleigh of all places. My guide was a legit Japanese college friend.

Problem is, he won't be back until July 6th and he was having some difficulty procuring the specialized tool needed to tighten it from the old dentist.

The GOP was the child of the Whigs who were fond of "clean graft." 1/2

252 231 rhomboid, from what I recollect, Missouri had a North South split and an urban-rural split with the two cities, St. Louis and Kansas City fighting each other for influence with the losing city machine often joining with the rural Republicans to punish each other.

The Tennessee Crump machine was similar where he made agreements with the Republicans on territory and patronage.
The Republicans got the eastern Appalachian area, the Crump machine was based in E. Tennessee and Middle Tennessee was the odd portion out.

272 Sven, the Republican machine in Ohio had its roots with Garfield, later Mark Hanna putting McKinley in office which then led to Warren Harding. Industrialists including the Rockefellers with oil, railroad companies--Penn Central for example, and the rising steel industry, which centered on that area and wanted to fight rising pressures to unionize.

Roosevelt was never part of the NY Senator Conkling machine who was primarily there at the behest of financiers. In fact, Conkling wanted Roosevelt out of NY politics after he became governor due to his reform policies. At the time, NY also had a group of Dems that were proteges of Samuel Tilden that were fighting with Tammany Hall in NYC. So reform in NY was being fought internally with the Dems and Republican party organizations.

TR had a defacto coalition that "was taken care of" in my opinion made up of donks and 'phants. The reason for this is the zenith and crossover of "progressivism" between the two parties. Essentially in the entire New England corridor, the bent was towards "enlightened interventionism" and the argument was no longer laissez-fare versus interventionism so much as "how deep the thrust."

I sometimes wonder if America was ill-served by the NYC reformers on a long enough timeline.

290 blaster, I believe that the Republican state machine was created more or less by Carroll Campbell which exploited the new South light industry and service economy created in the upstate region of SC and the piedmont area versus the old Dem establishment centered on Charleston. Don Fowler and Riley were some of the last S. Dems that had statewide appeal along with Fritz Hollingsworth.

Graham inherited Strom's old political machine and a fair amount of Strom's staff which more or less relied on effective service work and patronage for South Carolinians.

Posted by: EveR at June 30, 2021 06:43 PM (MUpk6)

Most corporations have done away with the majority of these kinds of perks. ANYTHING you receive from your employer is now subject to reporting and taxes. I know a lot of people believe that all the top brass at every medium and large corporation has millions of dollars of perks given to them but it's not accurate at all. Maybe in 1955, but not today. Most companies no longer have "company cars". It's too expensive to maintain and purchase cars for execs, if they qualify for a car , it's done via a third party specialist who pays out a monthly fee given to the employee and that is reported to the IRS. Any insurance plan provided via the company for said exec is capped and any additional is reported as income to the exec so they can pay taxes on it. There are no vacation homes, hell, unless you can justifiy a country club or hunting club membership via business

303 282 La Guardia and his long tenure in NYC was the major weakening of Tammany. FDR often shafted Tammany in favor of La Guardia when showering NYC with fed dollars, partly because of hard feelings dating from FDR's turn as gov, and partly because a lot of FDR NY supporters were on the reform Dem side in NYC, not Tammany.

Coolidge was governor of Massachusetts before becoming VP and was notable in breaking a police strike in Boston. Don't remember any Tammany fights with Coolidge though it might be possible through Thomas Dewey's career rise.

332 Tennis grand slams pay equal money to women and men.

You'd be stupid if you were from some impoverished country and were the 200th ranked male player not to put on a skirt and just cruise your way to the title for equal prize money on the women's side instead of playing qualifiers and getting blasted out in the first round for minimal prize money.

Sweeping the women's grand slams would pay you nearly $11 million in one year.

Posted by: EveR

EveR,
The fringe non-taxable era where corporations picked up all sorts of tabs was a byproduct of high marginal tax rates from WWII approaching 90 percent. By moving compensation to benefits like housing, a car, meals, etc., it lowered the effective tax rate on compensation to executives because companies wrote these expenses off under the IRS code of the time. Same thing on health insurance which originated with Kaiser Ship Yards--wage and price controls did not permit raises for workers but the feds did allow free health care to workers without taxation as it was not considered income.

The move to executive compensation through stock instead of salary plus the overall lowering of tax rates on income and capital gains made the hassle dealing with the perks as Jen said above less necessary.

372 blaster, I believe that the Republican state machine was created more or less by Carroll Campbell which exploited the new South light industry and service economy created in the upstate region of SC and the piedmont area versus the old Dem establishment centered on Charleston. Don Fowler and Riley were some of the last S. Dems that had statewide appeal along with Fritz Hollingsworth.

whig I don't disagree with this but I really put Lee Atwater at the head - sure he helped Campbell but also Strom and Spence. That is three different SC machines right there - GSP, Edgefield, and Lexington/Columbia. Rod Shealy was part of that, and he moved to Charleston to cover another center.

378 Exec summary: Patton (and Allen?) wanted airborne troops brought onto Sicily ASAP, as part of their effort to expand beach-head and offload supplies and personnel as quickly as possible. Paratroops had been part of initial invasion (didn't work out too well); this unit was just going to augment the combat power of the already-landed forces. They were to jump into a secured airfield area near Gela, the largest town taken by US forces on the southern Sicilian coast.

At night. C-47s, at night, of course, resembled Ju-88s. Ridgway feared friendly fire nightmare. Navy sort of agreed, said they could guarantee only that their warships - not the zillions of smaller craft present, with AA gungs - would be advised and would not fire on the US planes. Even Patton started to have 2nd thoughts, but it was too late - planes were already on the way.

Around 90KIA, over a hundred wounded, dozens of planes lost or damaged. Outrageous disaster.

Steve, you do know why he is out of jail? It has nothing to do with his age. The Penn SC overturned his conviction because the original prosecutor had given him immunity from prosecution in exchange for his testimony and settlement over the civil suit brought forth by one of his accusers and then another prosecutor turned around and used his confidential testimony to prosecute him criminally.

He's a slime ball sex pervert, but he still has a right to not have his fifth amendment right shredded nor an immunity agreement ignored.

The Gela/airborne disaster was 100% friendly fire, that had been anticipated from the moment the order was given.

402 370 TC, Eisenhower was a product of the Army and while conservative personally, was comfortable with the progressive Dewey machine and its influential corporate sponsors more than the Senator Taft led Republicans. Dick Nixon was the sop to the anti-communists hardliners and also to the West Coast GOP. Warren got the Supreme Court as part of the deal. Ironically, it would have been amusing if Warren got the nod for VP and Nixon to Scotus.

Eisenhower was pegged by no less than George Patton in an aside to another officer as a future presidential candidate during WWII.

Indeed. And Cosby's prosecution was the opening waterfall of the all the me too's coming out of the woodwork as was mentioned in the earlier thread. Additionally, Cosby was making waves against the left's portrayal of the black community as totally innocent of any blame for high crime rates, etc. when he started writing op eds, etc. about the black community needing to take responsibility, have two parent households, get jobs, etc. So they took aim at him and found a way to remove him from society.

Ike-"For every old blackboard, there are hundreds of new electronic computers. The prospects of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever-present and is gravely to be regarded. Yet in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite."

424 399 artemis, the problem with the Senate under McConnell is that it constrained who Trump could appoint for key positions. Note that his personnel in his wheelhouse of the economy were superb as were many of his regulatory agency appointees. But the appointees for the DOJ, DoD, and the IC communities looked to the Senate and not to Trump.

Note that the damning evidence that the GOPe senators were the problem is how easily Biden's appointees, even controversial ones, are flying through with scant GOP opposition. Trump often had to rely on temporary appointees and compromise candidates to fill offices or risk the leftist permanent staff running the departments. So, you have to look to if Trump fired Barr, who would take over the DOJ as interim officer. Grenell could only fill just so many agencies temporarily and on controversial decision, any interim vacancy act appointee action could simply be delayed by the permanent staff until the clock ran out.

444 407 TC, Slapton Sands was a pre DDAY exercise testing landing craft procedures on a beach similar to those in Normandy. Many of the participants were Bigots (aka in the know about the D Day invasion plans). Due to secrecy of the exercise, sufficient guard against Nazi E boats was not maintained and they got in to commit some mayhem sinking some critical LST (landing ship tanks) and causing hundreds of casualties made worse by the exercise conditions. The risk was that some of the missing might have been captured with the Nazis getting critical warning on the impending attack. The whole incident was classified top secret and families were not told the circumstances of the loss of their loved ones for quite a long time after.

Nah, the DM puts up puff pieces at Meghan's behest. It's tapered off, now, but for about a year they were putting up 3 or 4 every day.

PR experts were estimating that this was costing them about 1 million/month, and everyone was wondering where the money was coming from.

496 Other thing last night from the book, sort of thing I love.

German crews of the only Tiger tanks on Sicily ended up in a farmhouse with US paratroopers. US guys were drinking wine, there were some wounded. Germans came to the house to get water for their tanks. Both sides decided not to shoot (this was at night, too).

Americans asked permission to bring in medical assistance for their wounded, Germans agreed. Americans showed Germans the tactical situation, that they were now behind US lines and should probably surrender. Germans declined, blew up their Tigers and slinked off to their own lines in the dark.

Amazing stuff.

So people like Cerno and ace are anti-Semites and bigots and others who have been documenting this since Bannon and Kushner began to go at each other. This has been going on since 2017 and is well documented. Kushner is Soros-lite and far from America First. Labeling people bigots and anti-Semites because they disagree with Kushner's or Ivanka's or any globalist policies which have all but destroyed America post WWII do not win an argument. People call America First names because you can't call us liars.

I agree that in no way should Gab, Parlor or any of the other platforms agree to restricted speech. I don't know how this squares though with the drumbeat by a lot of conservatives that Jared and Ivanka were out to get Trump. Which if you read other sites and on occasion here, is a lot of folks take on anything Trump did that was considered dumb. Jared purposefully was sabotaging Trump. It's stupid.
I have Jewish friends who labeled Parlor as an antisimitic site that approved of violence against Jews. I mean, seriously upset I would suggest anyone , including myself ,join it .

I think the thing that surprised me was that Trump was trying to set the parameters of a site--you have to admit it's a little strange--like if he'd said he'd only sign up if anyone who criticized him was banned.

And--interestingly enough--he did sign up a few days ago on Rumble, which is a Canadian company who promptly changed their terms to disallow any anti Semitism/criticism of Israel.

No. What I am saying is that you should not allow limits on free speech. Once you make the tiniest exception, you (collectively) are screwed. That is the entirety of my point, NOT whether or not you should go on a platform you dislike FOR WHATEVER FUCKING REASON. It does not matter if you think the platform is anti-semitic. It does not matter if you do not like it because you think Gab has a gay color theme.

Personally, I just do not like the idea of twitter/gab style of commentary. Just me personally.
