Tonight I Saw Upon the Stair, An ONT That Wasn't There
Howdy Horde! Boy, another week has gone by, and now we're just 4 days from Valentine's Day. Have you finished buying your gifts?
Not Reading The Room
‘Inspired by Che Guevara and Fidel Castro,’ a New York restaurant missteps in Miami A New York restaurant modeled after the cafe where Castro and Guevara planned the Cuban revolution is opening in Miami. I can not even conceive how bloody tone deaf one would have to be to think this was a good idea. “Hey, our restaurant whose décor celebrates the bloodthirsty tyrants who terrorized Cuba is doing realy well. Where should we open another one? I know, let's open in the city with the highest population of Cubans who escaped their clutches! Some of them even lost friends and family to his bloody purges! It's a surefire hit!”Just Deserts Zhu Yi, figure skater who gave up American citizenship to compete for China, attacked online by Chinese fans after falling during Olympic debut Fuck Chinese fans. I couldn't care less what they think of her. She failed to make the US team so she turned her coat to compete for China. Turns out she's not good enough to do that either. Probably she will soon “disappear” into a luxury Chinese vacation camp. CNN is aghast US-born figure skater Zhu Yi under attack after fall on Olympic debut for China. Yahoo joins them on the fainting couch Olympians Eileen Gu and Zhu Yi are unfairly caught in the middle of the US and China's geopolitical sniping. Me? I have a different opinion.
"I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen;You want to become an American? Welcome, brother, but don't take the oath unless you mean it.
Simping: Expert Level
Indian officer busted after trading secret info with ‘Pakistani spies’ for nude pics Obviously a honey trap, but this guy didn't even get laid. With an internet full of porn, he betrayed his country for nudes. Nudes! I swear, I saw a social media post from some girl a while back where she was excited to be flying to meet some guy she met online the week before. Didn't have a dime to her name, but “he said that didn't matter to him”. One reply said “If Ted Bundy was active today, he'd be hitting triple doubles every week”.

Thursday Quiz: What Is This?

It's a limo driving up to the West Wing entrance of the White house. Because of forced perspective, the Eisenhower building looks too close, so lots of people are screaming “It's a fake!”. It's not, but sad that we've come to this.
On Being Woke
The Resentment And Fragility Of Anti-Racism The author gets right up against what, in my opinion, is the hardest challenge when discussing anti-white racism, but doesn't go over the line. That challenge is decrying anti-white racism without lapsing into white supremacy. Racism is racism. ALL racism, and ALL racism is equally deplorable and must be called out. The only way to end racism is to END it. You can't “make up” for racism by endorsing racism against a different group to “even things out”. Go Out For Harambe!
Bengals dedicating Super Bowl performance to Harambe, the late gorilla, player says Sunday is Super Sunday. Those of you who care, who are you rooting for? I guess I'm rooting for Cincinnati, but if LA wins I'll be glad for Matthew Stafford. Anyone who toiled in the Detroit salt mines for as long as he did deserves a ring. Tonight's ONT has been brought to you by The Forgiveness Of Jon:

It was luck of the draw. No different than being born a man - which I'm glad I was - or a woman. Or being born in a backwater African nation. It was, quite literally, winning the genetic lottery.
That's how it felt to me, when I came out of the chute in '72. It was way better than being born in Poland or Yugoslavia.
It was the last place on Earth you could be born to be mostly left alone by Government. I could see that, even as an elementary school kid. Well - that shit is gone now.
And now that the particular notion of Classical Liberalism is gone ? I'll not shed a tear for the idea of America. It's just dirt, that I share, with folks I mostly don't like or trust.

A friend of my friend left her husband and children for some guy from Florida that she had met online and had met in person once.
My sister worked with a woman who had 3 kids. This woman met a guy in a bar, and after knowing him for one month was going to have him move into her home. One of her kids was a 15 year old daughter. She was too dumb to realize how dangerous it is to let a virtual stranger live in the same house with her young teen age daughter.

Agreed - it's easy to miss just how focused and well planned this Truckers Revolt is. They've focused on a few key chokepoints that impact the entire Canadian economy, and they've got them shut down. There's nothing like that in LA, unless you were going to blockade some key freeway overpasses. But even then there are ways around them.

Friends don't let friends buy those crappy tubular-handled hammers, with the shrunk-on rubber grip. They are junk; and twist in your hand, causing bent nails galore. Traditional wood handle is best bang for your buck, but if you want a pro-grade hammer that will last your lifetime, buy an Estwing.

Absolutely. We won the genetic luck of the draw, being born as American citizens. Or having ancestors brave enough to do it or have a child willing to endure the rigor of emigrating here, like Sarah Hoyt.
She always felt that she was born in the wrong country. Here was home.

You just outlined how one must cheer for their tribe, rather than themselves. Seriously - you just said "You are right" without saying "you are right".
Now - tell me again - how a free people commits themselves to cheering for things like sporting events they don't participate in, and end up circling back to individual liberty ?
As you just said - it's all just training to encourage the individual to cheer for the collective.

She didn't need to take an oath. She was born in Encino, CA to Chinese national parents. Therefore, she had dual citizenship at birth. Chinese because her parents were citizens of China; American because of our insane laws that grant citizenship automatically to anyone who is born on our soil.
She turned no coat by choosing her Chinese citizenship over her American citizenship. We never asked her to swear loyalty to us, so she never made that promise.
I do think it is funny that she ended up on her ass, but she owed us no allegiance, so I have no anger over her choosing to follow her heritage and ancestry.

Ok. This one is easy.
Those things, all those vile things, are permitted to the elite. They are also permitted to the indigent classes, by virtue of the elite's noblesse oblige... They defend their serfs.
But the rest of us usually object to these excesses, with regard to ourselves and neighbors. So, given that all the normals hate this wretched excess, the ruling class loves to gather compromising information on one another, to be used in event of need.

Oh bullshit. I take a backseat to nobody on the importance of individual liberty, but it has to be within the context of actual human beings, with human nature. Frankly, you sound like the collectivists who will create utopia any day now, just as soon as they create the new soviet man. Let me guess, you identify as a Libertarian.

And here we go.
You just outlined how one must cheer for their tribe, rather than themselves. Seriously - you just said "You are right" without saying "you are right".
Now - tell me again - how a free people commits themselves to cheering for things like sporting events they don't participate in, and end up circling back to individual liberty ?
=========
Dude, no one made me cheer for Cincinnati teams. I cheer for the Reds and the Bungles because I want to, because I like the game. I don't cheer for the Reds because I can hit a curve ball. I don't cheer for the Bungles because I can kick a 45 yard field goal. I cheer because it's fun, and there are a bunch of other people also there who feel the same way. Even my Border Reiver ancestors who were good at tribal activities like grand theft livestock and hereditary blood feud liked to attend football (soccer) games and horse races. It was fun, and no one died that day.

Part of their depopulation effort is to starve us and to ration power among the masses while the elite continue as if nothing has happened.
Just read an article where Pennsylvania is scheduled to decommission 5.6GW of coal power in the next few years. There is no intention on replacing any of it, but we are expected to convert more of the fleet of cars into EVs.

Donation site for Ottawa truckers' 'Freedom Convoy' protest exposed donors' data
TechCrunch was tipped off to the data lapse after a person working in the security space found an exposed Amazon-hosted S3 bucket containing over 50 gigabytes of files, including *passports and driver licenses* that were collected during the donation process.
The exposed bucket had over a thousand photos and scans of passports and driver licenses uploaded since February 4, when the Freedom Convoy's page was first set up on GiveSendGo.

Here in the US, a loyalty oath doesn't mean squat to far too many of our citizens. Now, whether these Chinese 'deserters' did or did not take such a vow is irrelevant. They, in a way, justify the roundup of Japs and Germans during WWII. Because "loyalty matters".
In a life or death battle, you don't have time for the niceties of checking everyone out. Put a different way, the Constitution ain't a suicide pact. Maybe close, but no. Loyalty does matter.
Trump got royally hammered for trying to get these same loyalty oaths from the people he hired. Dems don't have this problem, as they can safely assume loyalty from their prior 'admissions' about their political positions. They wear their positions on their sleeves as proof of their loyalty.
And rarely violate their 'beliefs'. Wut.an.Advantage.

I have never served, so I don't have personal knowledge, but I thought that an oath was taken when you joined any branch of our armed forces.
If I had been born to my same American parents, but somewhere overseas, I don't know of any country that would have made me a citizen of their country just because I was born there. Assuming they did, and I was raised there, I suppose I would have different feelings about where I belong and who I owed my loyalty to.
But, if that foreign country wanted my allegiance, then they should make me work for it. Not just hand it to me because my parents were there when I was born. If I did want it and was willing to jump though their hoops to get it, then they would be justifiably aggrieved if I turned my back on them after making that commitment to them in the first place.

Well this just gives me the warm fuzzies, because Duke Energy in southern Ohio is closing down their old coal plants and building none in replacement. I was expecting we'd get power from coal plants in PA, WV, and KY instead. Well now, maybe not. I wonder if the smart people in Columbus know about this yet?

my sister, now a retired teacher, very leftist, thought our Dad was fired as a teacher for refusing the loyalty oath. A letter to me from (PTSD?) Dad showed he was fired for insisting on teaching "the Bible" in his 8th grade civics class.
This is not clear, but a big deal. He went "over the edge" (I barely survived) ... but imo, was he trying to get people saved? I my judgement, no, he was trying to introduce ? the Christian background of individual choice, and sovereign rights. (but he really liked Reinhold Niebuhr, so it is a mystery).
My Mom poignantly remarked I was on his path, when I was later doing my own journey into "Religious Individual Sovereignty" against institutional religion, escaping the status quo.
Religious Freedom, Sovereign rights ... these are vital issues, even for us that do not have children. We need revolution against the institution ... governmental and religious.

And if I can't honestly cheer for the Republicans to win, I'll definitely cheer for the Democrats to lose. All the Democrats can and should lose, they deserve it after the pain they've put us through. And if you don't like the election game, well, we could try something that's not a game. Except no one here wants to go there. Yet. So for the time being, let's play a game.

Ultimately you can't write laws that will stop future generations intent on violating them from doing so.
It is up to each generation to preserve those freedoms and we have failed.

They warned us that the solution was impermanent and would have to be constantly guarded and renewed. Two centuries later Ronald Reagan repeated the warning. But we didn't believe that anyone would actually do something like openly campaign on the basis of deliberately gutting the Republic in order to gain power. We were warned....

Surgery went very well, and she was awaje and alert today but hurting from having her chest cracked, poor little thing.
Her heart is backward in her chest, so the weaker half that is supposed to pump just to the lungs is forced to pump to the whole body, and vice versa. The ventricle that normally pumps to the lungs only has to pump 15 percent as hard as the whole body ventricle, so the reverse is tough on her heart muscle.
Yesterday they did "banding", which is where they install a rubber band on the strong ventricle to cut down its pumping force, which also forces the weak side muscle to get stronger. In 6 months they'll crack her little chest again and go in and rearrange her major arteries to correct the flow issue that comes from everything being reversed.
She's only 6 and a half, and is the sweetest little girl. I appreciate your asking about her.

Sharkman, been thinking about her a lot.
Muchos years ago, MiladyJo and I were at the Chicago comics convention with our (fraternal) twin boys. We ran into a father and (identical-ish) twin sons, and twin-kids talk ensued. Turns out, one of those boys was a mirror-twin. Organs all on the "wrong" side, but everything worked. Looked to me like their very faces were mirrored. Mirror Twin had to have a med bracelet, obviously. (Funny because, unlike most identicals, you always know which of you was the "copy.") I've since read of other genetic reversals that were not so complete, nor so benign.
Turns out that DNA helix can twist either direction, normal, or "reversed," and that's what I thought of with her mis-plumbed heart.
I just think, her heart is (otherwise) probably sound, she is young, it's "just" replumbing, not something alien like a transplant, and modern medicine (Fauci-ism aside) is miraculous. Hope and pray she has a full and long and healthy life, once Man fixes what Nature oopsied.

Water in modern diesels, with the fancy computer control and the high pressure common rail injection system will destroy a modern engine.
With the mechanical injection systems on the older tractors and trucks I'm familiar with, gross amounts of water are bad (can corrosion on the very high tolerance injector pump parts), but it just means the engine won't run, and you've got a mess to clean out and bleed.
If a massive amount of liquid water gets that high pressure rail, the high heat in the injector tips can cause the water to boil to stem and blow the tip off, causing severe damage to a running engine.
This is why you want to make sure what you're putting in the tanks. All systems have water separators, but a massive amount of water will fill those up and get through.

I don't understand this (yet) but the Truckers have some people working with them That Know What the Fuck They Are Doing.
They just played Trudeau's govt for fools on the financing. You may have heard that Trudeau's govt froze the funds from GiveSendGo.
They didn't. The truckers set up a "honey pot", a Canadian company that looked for all the world like it was going to be the one that received the GSG funds. They slapped the restraining order on it.
Meanwhile the actual money goes to a company created in Florida (no accident), which converts it to crypto and transfers the crypto to the truckers.
That made fools of Trudeau's and his financial whiz kids.

Now, Brandon could, of course. They created the company in Florida, which is friendly at the state level. Brandon could probably pull something to stop the dollars from getting to that company.

Yes, the truckers have people working and helping them who have "particular sets of very specific skills".
Those with this particular set of financial transfer mechanics skills are magnificent bastards. The set up, and quickly, a way to get money to the truckers in Canada from the United States that would be untouchable by the Canadian govt.
And then, they set up a brilliant diversion, the honey pot company, to attract the attention of the Canadian govt. and send it down a rathole. They have some people who knew exactly how the Canuck tyrants think and how to fool them.

Other sets of specific skills helping the truckers I'm reading including those with military, LEO, and spook skills.
They seem to be very good at anticipating what the Canadian govt will do, and how best to thwart that.
For example, a former member of Castreau's security team who resigned is said to be helping the truckers. That fucker would know a thing or two.

It is, I was reading about on Denninger's forum. It was fucking brilliant. They set up that honey pot company in Canada to get the attention of the Canadian govt.
The Canadian govt was looking for how they would do it. They gave them exactly what they were looking for, with bells on, and let them chase that snipe while they were setting up and executing the real crypto transfer system.

Altho there were a few attempts, the Black slave never freed themselves. It was White people. It's been Whites all along the timeline that have raised them up from the oppression of others. Sure they boycotted a few bus companies but it was the federal government National Guard that got them into school and after that bar was broken the south gave up and switched around so they could pretend to be their saviors. And it remains thus to this day. Because the Whites who are prejudiced against in some manner are mostly Republican or those who align with what the Republicans claim as their ideal. And that's how that slope goes.

Speaking of water in diesel fuel, I'll tell you a good one. Back many moons ago, we had the tractors all out at place we were farming near Fountain Inn. We'd we do those fields, we get all the tractor and equipment over there. We'd carry fuel to them in a 55 gal drum, with hand pump in the bung hole. It would take several trips sometimes if we'd let them all get low.
Anyway, unbeknownst to us, the metal around the bunghole, where the pump screwed in got fatigued and cracked about halfway around. It rained big one night, with that drum half fuel of fuel in the back of the truck.
So, we pumped about a gallon of water into one of the tractor tanks.

Now, that much water just fills up the filter/water separator unit in no time and pumps water right to the pump. When that water hits, well, the engine starts acting funny. I remember it surged, white smoke, started skipping, then died. WTF.
Soon figured out the injector pump was slap full of water. Shit fire. Fuck, fuck, fuck fuckity fuck. Get that shit out quick. Priority was getting the water out of that pump and the injector lines. My father put "Marvel Mystery Oil" (don't know if they still make that) in quick, to help prevent corrosion in the pump.
Then, opened the drain plug in the tank and drained as much water off the bottom as possible. Then, using the little hand lift pump lever, pumped and pumped until pure diesel fuel started coming out the line. New fuel filters, and then hooked it back up and got pure diesel back in the pump. Now, bleed, bleed, bleed, until every last bit of air was out.
She cranked and ran. Every 30 minutes at first, I had to stop, and drain the fuel filters. A good bit of water was still in there. Then it finally cleared up.

Those common rail injector systems operate at just 30,000 psi, BTW.
Now, peak pressures on the old mechanical injector pump systems I knew would be around 2 - 3K psi.
You can see why air is so bad if it gets in the pump. All that air does is compress and the pressure doesn't rise enough to open the injectors.
You've got to get all that air out. That's why running a diesel out of fuel is a Very Bad Thing to do.

We made the mistake once of letting a guy borrow one of our little tractors. He was a truck driver. He ran that little tractor, a Ford 2000, out of fuel.
He ran the battery down cranking it after he filled the tank back up. He then hooked up his truck with jumper cables and cranked some more until he finally gave up and called us.
I was gobsmacked. He had had no idea you had to bleed the air out. And he was a truck driver. Let's just say he didn't have to work on 'em much, turned out.

One of my coming of age awakenings. When I was kid, I assumed that all these grown-ups knew everything. All this mechanical stuff, and fixin' stuff, they knew how to do. My father and his buddies seemed to, and they taught me all sorts of shit.
As I got older, I realized that a lot of "candy ass" desk jockey types didn't know much about Shit Like That, but I still assumed that the "blue collar" works their hands people did.
At Clempson Cow Collidge, I realized that all these really smart perfessers with Ph.Ds after their names were actually purty dumb bought that kind of mechanical shit and fixin' shit.
Then a little later, I learned that a lot of these "regular blue collar types" don't know much shit either. Damn, my old man and his buddies were some rare breeds.
It was an awakening.

Another funny thing about these degreed professionals. It was sort of trend. You have some big M.D, or even dentists, who'd make a lot of money. Many of them had fantasies about farming and ranching. They'd make a shit ton of money, then buy some land and some farm equipment when they retired or semi-retired and start playing around. They'd run in my father and his buddies circles at that stage.
Those guys could pull some "boners" with tractors and farm equipment. I mean do some downright Stupid Shit.
And uncle mine explained that "them doctors" got to medical school for all that time. Their heads can only hold so much, and all the medical knowledge just drives all common sense out of their heads.

And now, purely coincidentally, California is going after Tesla for being racist.
I'm sure that has nothing to do with Elon moving to Texas
No, probably that he's created wildly successful NON-UNION firms in California.
He would NEVER do it, but if he let the UAW into Tesla all the issues would disappear.
