Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | The Morning Report – 10/15/2021Good Morning all. The incomparable J.J. Sefton is going to be out of pocket for a few days, which is a good opportunity for all of us to appreciate just how amazing his daily report and link-alanche is. He puts out the best aggregation of links in the conservative blogosphere. I don’t know how he does it, but I sure am grateful. He won’t be away long, so don’t touch that dial. In the meantime, here are a few things going on: The same people who shuttered “non-essential” businesses and locked down the economy are now coming for your single-family home.“There is no conservative principle worth honoring that makes us less free. I find the notion that we are somehow morally obligated to accept serfdom because the entity exercising mastery over us has articles of incorporation instead of a flag to be baffling.”Liberty is about liberty. There is no principle that requires free people to surrender their liberty, be it to a government, a religion, or a cartel of monopoly businesses. Along those lines, “Safety-ism,” combined with panic, and mixed together with an inability to understand probability and risk, will lead us to a world of subservience. Manufacturing meltdowns are hitting the U.S. heartland, as the semiconductor shortages that have plagued equipment makers for months expand into other components. Supply chain woes now pose a threat to the U.S. food supply and farmers' ability to get crops out of fields.See y’all next week.

You may have heard paint supplies are low, but I scored some paint! My painter didn't think I could find it, seriously, but I found some. Traded two of my wife's goats for it, which I thought was a very good price. She's a bit miffed.

Mornin' Horde!
First world problem - I discovered recently that a new season of Brooklyn Nine-Nine had come out back in August (oddly, hulu didn't notify me of this). We enjoyed the show through the first 7 seasons, and I was looking forward to the 8th. I stopped watching after two episodes. Apparently, they threw out the scripts they had, and wrote new "woke" scripts. The first episode was so heavy-handed I could barely sit through it. It was about the unfunniest episode of a comedy I'd ever seen. It should have had the "very special episode" disclaimer. Rather a disappointment...

Abolish the ATF.
To borrow from Lawdog, the following should happen. 1. The head of every single government agency should point to the exact phrase in the Constitution. If they can't, the agency ceases to exist and their budget gets redistributed. 2. If such a phrase is found, the head of the agency needs to justify why they should be allowed to stay on the job.

The NYT screenshot is very telling, not only for what it says and implies bit also for how *old* the concept is.
The NYT headline makes it clear: single-family housing is bad for our grand social engineering schemes, yet you regressives like it and thus you, not the plan, is the problem. You need to change and get over yourselves to accept our housing enlightenment. This is oddly reminiscent of a video clip I saw from British parliament. It was from, I think, the 70s. The slums in Britain's housing projects were becoming catastrophic and there was finally discussion of tearing down the tower blocks because they had become an unmitigated failure. Nobody liked them, they blighted the cities, they were dens of crime and violence and the expanded human misery. Some MP said, "Whenever we asked people what they wanted - houses or tower blocks - the vast majority of people always said they wanted houses. So what did the councils do? We gave them tower blocks instead, ruined their neighborhoods, and made them miserable. They need to be torn down and replaced with houses." This isn't new. This form of town-destroying, depressing arrogance has been with us since the War. Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at October 15, 2021 06:56 AM (DU+/6) 58

Football is a pressure release valve for young men, while also teaching them so many lessons about discipline, teamwork, sacrifice, leadership, etc. Misguided safety-ism has football in its crosshairs. We'll regret its loss when it's gone.
Organized sports in general, but especially football, has saved lives. There are countless stories from retired NFL veterans stating they were heading down a wrong path in life before their parent(s) got them involved in football. Unfortunately, the use of getting young men involved in organized sports to change their life path has been corrupted long before safety-ism. Organized football, from at least the high school level on up, has become a business. As such, instead of teaching young men lessons about discipline, teamwork, sacrifice, leadership, etc., many programs are teaching young men that so long as you are skilled at football, you can do no wrong. Countless examples of athletes breaking the rules or breaking laws and not being punished, because the coach needs them on the field. That lesson is learned in HS and then the young men go to college and NFL and think they can do whatever they want without consequences.

I knew McCabe got his pension restored but I didn't fully understand the totality of what the Junta gave him.
He got back his pension, he got 200k in back payments, his lawyers got a cool 500k, his firing has been expunged from all the records Pharo style, he also gets special gold executive cuff links and his badge back mounted in a decorative and ceremonial frame.

Posted by: Haywood at October 15, 2021 06:51 AM (qPgcz) ++++ Ehhh, I dunno about that. Engine-management electronics (as opposed to all of the other whiz-bangs) did a tremendous amount of good. Reliability is extremely high. Coil-on-plug is a bit of a pain in the ass sometimes, but it works extremely well in my experience. But as with everything, "if this was good, more would be better" and eventually it becomes a nightmare. I think the sweet spot for all of this was probably the late 90s to early aughts. You had electronic engine controls that were simple and reliable, onboard diagnostics that made repairs much easier without adding gigantic tooling expenses, and not so much high-tech fuckery that a single bad circuit ruins the car or you end up waiting on pallets of specialized processors to assemble things.

Teenage boys and young men (of all races, and throughout human history) are aggressive, competitive, sometimes violent, and tend to gather in packs of their peers. That is why they make great soldiers and athletes when their energy is harnessed into a team effort, led by a responsible older male.

Difficult? Super easy, barely an inconvenience. Tighten the Fannie mae requirements for single family home purchases. 20% down payment, >750 credit score to purchase a single family home. Or put a penalty on banks for writing a mortgage on a single family home. 1% of the purchase price. Boom. Done. Spin it as for the children and teachers and first responders, and climate change.

To borrow from Lawdog, the following should happen.
1. The head of every single government agency should point to the exact phrase in the Constitution. If they can't, the agency ceases to exist and their budget gets redistributed. 2. If such a phrase is found, the head of the agency needs to justify why they should be allowed to stay on the job. Posted by: NR Pax at October 15, 2021 06:50 AM (4olE Further, if the phrase pointed to contains any of the words "commerce, necessary, of proper", they are flogged prior to being fired.

Use the rules that would have been required in the late 90s for most borrowers: - 20% down - House is ideally 3x your income, can be pushed to 4x. - No more than 28% of your gross income on mortgage payments - No more than 35% of your gross income on all debt payments How much house could you afford using the traditional, safe, reliable rules?

"and tend to gather in packs of their peers. That is why they make great soldiers and athletes when their energy is harnessed into a team effort, led by a responsible older male."
The China infiltration may go back to Clinton (multipolarity worked out great for China) or even to Nixon (or maybe he wanted to keep Russia in check via China?) ... but at this point China is calling a lot of shots, like softening up our males (useful for weakening our military) plus maybe Biden/Milley are directly working for China?. But behind the scenes, the prime mover (imo) is still the globalist elites, who plan to own the world. Middle class profits from BigCorp and BigTech have been huge since 1980, but dwarfed in comparison to the oligarch riches. The NWO Build Back Better team runs most of Western Civ countries ...

This isn't new. This form of town-destroying, depressing arrogance has been with us since the War.
Housing projects and apartments, etc. strike me as desirable for the elites, because it allows them to have control over the masses. Same thing with owning a home in an area where there are home owner's association requirements. Owning one's own home is a form of independence. Living in a project or an apartment or even with the requirements of a HOA, it means that rules can be set for each of those conditions to control everyone in those situations. i.e. people living in an apartment complex, they all have to follow the rules of the landlord of the complex. Government can set a rule for all landlords and then the landlord will force that rule on every renter in their complex. Government does not have that power over those who own their own homes. So that's my first thought when reading about this: it's about control. Just as is pretty much every action being taken by governments lately. Nothing is being done to try to improve the lives of people, it's all about increasing government control over people's lives.

There is no excuse for this other then teachers, school boards and those creating curriculum have failed miserably. They are incompetent and not focused on actual education.

The numbers regarding sports and scholarships are fascinating once you start looking at them. Roughly 1% of kids who play something in high school get to play it in college. Roughly 1% of them get a scholarship to play it. Roughly 1% of THEM get to play professionally.
Sports are great and teach great lessons and skills etc, but if you're trying for a scholarship for your kid you'd be better off investing that $5k+ your spending on the road teams and making your own scholarship.

Was Shatner already a lefty when it comes to man-caused "climate change" or was this a condition of allowing him to go to space... that he would have to give some kind of sob story about "man destroying the planet"? ___________ I read some of Shatner's comments yesterday, but didn't see anything like that. He was tearful after the flight, saying that it had been beautiful to see the earth from space, and he said it was very moving and he hoped he'd never forget the experience. One article said: Shatner noted that after seeing Earth from a distance, he was struck by its "vulnerability" and briefly touched on the notion of keeping our air and atmosphere clean. "But that's a whole other conversation." I don't think wanting to keep the planet and air clean necessarily means that he buys into the whole "global warming" scam. Almost everybody wants to keep pollution under control, and none of us wants to destroy or harm the earth. Posted by: TrivialPursuer--F*ck Joe Biden at October 15, 2021 07:43 AM (k4dH2) 268

I'm so sorry for your loss, rhennigantx. Prayers to you and your family. My mom will have been gone for 12 years on Sunday. It's still hard to believe and accept she's gone.
Posted by: Lady in Black at October 15, 2021 *** My condolences to both of you. My mother passed away in Nov. of 1986. I was going through so many other trials at the time that I couldn't really process it. Then, several months later, I had a thought I wanted to share with her, swiveled to the phone . . . and realized I couldn't call her. Only then did it sink in. I'd like to think she'd be proud of what I've done with myself in the ensuing decades, if she knew. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius at October 15, 2021 07:36 AM (/XOcP) in my opinion, she does.

The wine moms and whine Karens who would have a pregnant stranger arrested for having a drink of alcohol or smoking
I remember looking into the science of that a while back. And the science says *moderate* drinking likely has no effect but we can't say that because someone will presume that doesn't mean a couple of drinks a week, but a couple of drinks with each meal. Of course abortion is fully legal. Which...makes no sense. Posted by: 18-1 at October 15, 2021 07:54 AM (ESjRY) 332

ATTN: NJ MORONS-
The church I serve had a program last night on the bill euphemistically titled "reproductive freedom" SB3030A48848. What it actually means is the right to abortion to the 9th month. The bill will allow anyone from anywhere else to come to NJ for an abortion, and our taxes will pay for it. NJ will already become more of a haven for sex traffickers who bring underage and older women here, film them being raped by numerous men a night and then sell the films online. Men pay extra if they don't have to wear a condom, and if they women get pregnant-no questions asked, It will also invalidate the 1974 conscience clause which protected the right of health care workers not to assist at an abortion, More details here, the names of the sponsors of the Bill and what you can do to help defeat it: https://njrtl.org/legislation/ Website for NJ Right To Life Posted by: FenelonSpoke at October 15, 2021 07:55 AM (ueGNX) 338
The 3/4 of Earth surface under water has him believing the polar caps are melting
Posted by: Skip's Phone at October 15, 2021 07:48 AM (0+QM0) ++++ There's not enough ice, especially because the northern ice doesn't count. Most of the arctic ice is floating, and "ice floating in water" has the same volume as "water remaining when ice melts." Seawater is saline and that changes things a bit, but not much. I'd be much more worried about wild dilution and changes in salinity than I would be about sea level rise if the northern ice all melted. Antarctica is another story, though, of course.

The impossibly stupid emissions requirements for trucks in CA, for example. There aren't enough compliant trucks to pick up and transport all the stuff sitting in containers at the port, so it stays there and gets backed up.

yes, that (or "paying out of pocket") is another common usage in regards to finance, distinct from saying a person is out of pocket. ... out of pocket, not available, whether funds or (later?) the person that is needed?

Football is a pressure release valve for young men, while also teaching them so many lessons about discipline, teamwork, sacrifice, leadership, etc. Misguided safety-ism has football in its crosshairs. We'll regret its loss when it's gone.
----- This is very true for me and many others I knew. I had SERIOUS ANGER issues as a boy and young man, and having football as an outlet was beneficial in a number of ways -- not least of which was having surrogate father role models that I desperately needed and from whom I learned to become a man. In a society where half of children are born out of wedlock and fathers are absent/de-valued? This will only exacerbate the disaster we're already witnessing in our man-bunned, soiboi-ized young males who shake hands like cold, limp-wristed fish ...

Was Shatner already a lefty when it comes to man-caused "climate change" or was this a condition of allowing him to go to space... that he would have to give some kind of sob story about "man destroying the planet"? ___________ I read some of Shatner's comments yesterday, but didn't see anything like that. He was tearful after the flight, saying that it had been beautiful to see the earth from space, and he said it was very moving and he hoped he'd never forget the experience. One article said: Shatner noted that after seeing Earth from a distance, he was struck by its "vulnerability" and briefly touched on the notion of keeping our air and atmosphere clean. "But that's a whole other conversation." I don't think wanting to keep the planet and air clean necessarily means that he buys into the whole "global warming" scam. Almost everybody wants to keep pollution under control, and none of us wants to destroy or harm the earth.

now get the two pack home tests from Walgreens or CVS - they are less likely to give a false positive - if they are really serious about making you show testing every other week or whatever I have a feeling THAT requirement will go by the wayside too, soon, but if they're anal about it, those home tests are the way to go. you don't need any false positives from a jacked up PCR Posted by: BlackOrchid at October 15, 2021 08:11 AM (j9HX3) 430

Forced doctor visit to get treatment? Has anyone here been going through the "COVID-19 testing" process at their place of employment?

"Your direct supervisor will be notified of the decision so that you are permitted to comply with the testing guidelines set for employees." ...
*** I think the *intent* of that sentence was, "Your supervisor will be notified so that he will allow you to take time off for testing." But he/she couldn't actually write plain English, I guess. As for the home tests, we'll see. I wasn't bothered about testing all summer, even though I was bugged by emails to do it. We'll see if they track me down. I took many suggestions from the Horde here, and from links they pointed me to, while writing my statement.

working remotely from a somewhat larger than urban lot homestead is not more feasible, but the American Dream of the nice home and yard in the suburbs is under assault.

Inserting public housing is only destructive of the dream, it kills off the path to safer communities, which seems to be their intent, not "diversity".

And she's been immersed in the bullshit her whole life but still seams to have a functioning pretty head on her pretty shoulders Posted by: banana Dream at October 15, 2021 08:37 AM (+Z1Gj) 543
Regarding the NYT headline about single family homes.
Years ago Al Gore called for more cities like New York and less like fly over country. I said to anyone who would listen, wait until we have some infectious disease hit. Watch it run rampant through the population that is packed tightly together. Posted by: Darth Randall at October 15, 2021 08:39 AM (u1scg) 544
Captain Obvious, thanks. I looked it up and apparently P.J O'Rourke said "safety nazis" in a publication in 1987.
I graduated HS in 1985 though and there is no way I would have seen his quote in his book Republican party reptile...unless it was referenced in some other more mainstream sources at the time and my memories of using "safety-nazis" in HS are faulty.

In the mix of the war on single family housing is that our country's population has basically doubled in my lifetime due entirely to government policy of mass immigration (both "legal" and illegal) having nothing to do with our needs or quality of life.
Everyplace on the coasts and around urban centers is enormously more crowded, with more traffic, with strained water resources, strained school budgets, ever more building, paving and deforestation. For actual "conservationists" this policy of Moar Immigration/Migration At Any Cost has been a complete disaster. And, we will be further punished for being so "selfish" as to want to hold onto a small piece of what was once an American standard of living.

"Wisconsin Pleasant" is probably not all that pleasant to normal non-iceback human beings....
I didn't escape to the Southwest til I was 40...in WI you will start seeing people wearing shorts when it hits 50..if it makes 80 people will start whining about the excessive heat. Winter is from early October til late May..in the winter it can be cloudy for an entire month. There isn't enough money to make me go back.

Posted by: Zek's Covid Recovered Ass at October 15, 2021 09:13 AM Yep, great point. Those who claim to care about the environment should be adamantly against mass immigration to areas that are already overcrowded. They should be 100% in favor of people staying where they are and improving their areas. It makes little sense to huddle hundreds of millions of people together in one area instead of spreading out those people across the globe. The solution is to bring successful American living conditions to the rest of the world, not bring the rest of the world to America. But "climate change" movement has never been about logic and common sense, only emotion and control of western civilization.

Your item about helmets reminded me of something I saw recently, in Mad City (i.e., Madison, Wisconsin): a young woman on a moped weaving through traffic while wearing a face diaper, but no helmet. Talk about people unclear on the concept!
BTW, I once worked in the transplant department of a major teaching hospital in Chicago. I saw first hand why they call mopeds "donorcycles". Posted by: Nemo at October 15, 2021 10:18 AM (S6ArX) Processing 0.04, elapsed 0.0584 seconds. |
