Good morning, kids. Monday and continuing a theme from the end of last week, given the absolute and complete divide between the two ideological camps in this country, I am increasingly of the opinion that there can never be any reconciliation whatsoever. Certainly not when the American left seeks to destroy the very institutions and culture with which we are supposed to find the common ground to work out our differences in the interest of "live and let live." As a dear friend of mine would say, "Ain't happenin', babe." The reactions to the overturning of Roe v. Wade both in rhetoric and in acts of violence fomented by same merely underscore the situation.

One link which, given the momentous news about the Roe, Bruen, and the equally important Makin decisions, would have otherwise got completely lost in the sauce is quite illustrative of the pickle we find ourselves in. Yet again, it comes to us via Project Veritas.

If you go to Krystle Matthews’ campaign website, you’ll see that this Democrat party candidate for the U.S. Senate (who’s now in a run-off with Catherine Fleming Bruce) presents herself as the all-American Black candidate for the little people: She’s a single mom of five, the daughter of a Vietnam vet, and the granddaughter of a sharecropper. Her roots in America run very deep.

She makes no secret about the racist core of her campaign, although it’s phrased very tactfully: “She was inspired to run for office in 2018 because she believed that people who look like her and come from backgrounds like hers are often affected the most and heard the least.” Matthews also explains that she wants to change the “toxic politics that rob our most vulnerable communities of their power.”

It turns out, though, that Matthews isn’t above “toxic politics” when it comes to plotting a Democrat takeover of South Carolina’s strong Republican leanings. We know that because Project Veritas Action obtained a recording of a February 15, 2022, phone call that Matthews had with David Solomon Ballard, an inmate at Perry Correctional Institution. . .

“We need some secret sleepers.  Like you need, we need them to run as the other side, even though they for our side. We need people to run as Republicans in these local elections. This is the only way you’re going to change the dynamics in South Carolina.”

“Honestly, these ain’t the same type of black people that I grew up around.  I don’t recognize these black people.  So, I black because I don’t understand the type of black that they are.  Now, can I talk intelligently?  Can I- I could be.  Listen, I can move in all kind of circles, but I’m a n**** at heart.  I love black people.  I feel safest around my people.”

“We need some folks that can wear all black at night and take they f****** yard signs down when they- when they sleeping.”

“I still got to struggle to raise money for my campaign?  Where the f*** is my black people with money?  I don’t care about no dope money!  Give me that dope boy money!”

“S***, where the f**king dope?  Where the duffle bag boys?  Get you- find me somebody from your family that don’t even know you donating to my campaign and put that s*** under they names.”

. . . Matthews wants nothing to do with a Black community that embraces core American values and aspires to racial harmony. Moreover, she’s quite explicit: If she cannot change that attitude through persuasion, she’ll do what leftists always do when nobody wants what they’re selling: Cheat. Conservative communities across America need to understand that Matthews is not alone. Whether it’s mail-only voting, ballot harvesting, or fifth columnists, Democrats are happy to attain by foul means that which they cannot earn through fair ones.

And of course, when cheating doesn't even work B-urn, L-oot and M-urder. Friend and friend of the blog, Michael Walsh:

It has long been a dictum of mine that, as far as the progressive Left is concerned, "they never stop, they never sleep, they never quit." After their twin defeats at the Supreme Court last week, regarding two of their most sensitive issues (both of which derive from their devotion to cultural suicide, which is their principal objective), don't expect them to give up easily. They subscribe to their version of Islamism or the Brezhnev Doctrine: once they've conquered moral or physical territory, it can never go back to the way it was. They see themselves as the heroes of their own movies, good red-diaper babies constantly battling the forces of revanchism and irrendentism, which are you. The idea that they're the bad guy never occurs to them. . .

. . . About their only admirable trait is their refusal to give up—something that brands them in perpetuity as sore losers, with whom we have to live as long as these United States stay together. The question is, how much longer can this go on? . . .

. . . There is no stasis in Leftism: you're either breaking boundaries and pushing envelopes and shattering glass ceilings or you're losing. The reason they never stop is that they cannot stop. They can't be satisfied with a small victory. It's all or nothing. It's their fatal flaw, their Achilles heel. . .

. . . The two big decisions last week have given them an out: blue-state fantasy homelands of their very own where they're free to abort babies and celebrative 52 genders and chemically castrate their XY birth-defectives and drive magic electric cars and heat and cool their homes with windmills and eat bugs and refuse to defend themselves and defund the police and enforce "equity" and anything else their hearts desire, even if it kills them.

Because, in the end, that's what they really want. An end to their restlessness and their war against their own savage gods. All we want, by contrast, is to be left alone with a culture we love and prize and wish to pass on to our children.

In the words of President Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants, "Look, Fat. You just hit the head on its nail-thing." I would take it a step further. Even if we were to enact some theoretical "two-state solution," the Left will never allow us to be left alone. Within a very short order, as we throw off the shackles of leftist progressivism and thrive, yet again, as the greatest bastion of freedom and prosperity on the planet, they will rapidly devolve into something akin to a hybrid of Somalia/North Korea and Snake Plissken's Manhattan. It will be in-their-face, absolute living proof that everything they believe in, about their greatness and goodness and our putative evil is a lie.

We're seeing it bit by bit right now, with the reaction from traditional Democrats/liberals (not the Marxist brainwashed true believers) at $5.00 a gallon gas, criminals running wild and their money growing worthless by the day. The complete collapse of their glorious, socialist Democratic People's Republic of Junktuckistan and as we grow and prosper would be an absolute negation of their entire weltanschauung that cannot be denied or covered up no matter how many Jen Piss-Hockey's and CNN's they deploy. 

I always said that if there were just one solitary Jew left who lived at the farthest reaches of the known universe 15 billion light years distant, the Islamic world would do whatever it could to construct a spacecraft to carry Khalid Sheik Mohammed and his rusty hacksaw there to saw the guy's head off. Same goes for all of us who believe in the ideals of America as founded, the Bible and its precepts and the past 2,000 years of the advancement of civilization, and those who do everything from rig elections to firebomb pro-life offices to gunning down enemy politicians.

And so here we are in 2022. The polarization is so absolute and our society and political institutions so thoroughly poisoned that us playing by the Marquis of Queensbury rules while they do not is a recipe for disaster. Forgetting national divorce, even if we were to win a hot civil war (to whatever level of heat we reach), at the end of it there can be no quarter given. Something akin to a mass deprogramming and/or de-Nazification program must be instituted, since a very large mass of a defeated enemy will still exist within our borders. That includes the complete dismantling of the entire federal bureaucracy as well as the bureaucracies of blue states and cities and the removal of any leftist in any position of authority or influence.

God forbid they consolidate the overthrow of the nation as of 1/6/21, no quarter will be given to us.

28 The two big decisions last week have given them an out: blue-state fantasy homelands of their very own

Bing was pushing a CNBC article about while all the permits are in place, the people of Maine are vetoing the building of a 54 mile long power corridor to bring Canadian hydroelectric power to Massachusetts consumers.

All of the usual rhetoric about Green and Renewables was countered with Trees, unmolested wildspace and the viewshed - citizens of Maine not wanting this football field wide scar running through their state so that Massachusetts can avoid generating their own power.

NIMBY vs NIMBY. I like the Green Activist who was under the employ of Big Hydro who demanded that power be nationalized so that the Federal Government would force the people of Maine to suck it up and allow the power line though.

There was not one person who questioned the wisdom of importing electricity far away from its generation site and consider locally generated and managed service.

If you are conservative in a blue city/state, you are going to lose your job soon. They are coming for you.

Last week was the biggest signal yet: Get out.

They will have you arrested for owning guns. They will attack you in the street if they know you're conservative.

What's funny is, the Purity Progressives are no longer excepting Sleeper Republicans from their attacks. Those 15 votes last week were one last, desperate grovel to buy a few more weeks for them-- they fear getting kicked out of the Good Politician Club more than their constituents.

Pixy had an article about the reversal of Roe v Wade. Of course the author of the article is a fool, but the comments were far more revealing as to what diabolical monsters compose the modern Left.

The Pavlovian Conditioning, perfected by the Nazi regime and heavily leveraged in the political conditioning of setting people in a mode to be easily manipulated and propagandized (via All Things CoViD-19 lockdown theater) is now bearing great fruit in the form of wild-eyed, unhinged hysteria, hate and shouting at the sky.

And yet, year after year, more States are loosening up their gun laws, if not simply reverting to Constitutional Carry.

That fool on The View when saying that Republicans will change their minds when blacks get funs was merely projecting the exact Democrat racist reasoning that began the whole movement to ban and license personal firearms. The Democrats, hating blacks and considering them subhuman, wrote during the post-Reconstruction era, all kinds of laws promoting segregation, banning interracial marriage and gun ownership.

The "sore loser" vibe that they give doesn't play well with the voters.

Listened to an interesting piece over the weekend, the premise is that they problem with the left is that they have been unable to put together a core governing philosophy that resonates with the voters since JFK. Johnson went to war, Carter was lucky with Watergate, Clinton lied about his southern centrist philosophy, and Obama won through personal popularity against bad candidates. No where along the line has a governing philosophy that the people accept been put forward.

Of course on the Republican side, we have been hampered by the Bushites.

Pollyanish I am sure, but I think the insane swirl we are seeing is 40 years of nonsense finally coming to a head as voters say "enough".

They could lie all day about their opposition to abortion, safe behind the wall of the Court; knowing it would never be overturned. And the conservative religious voters bought it because they couldn't imagine someone would lie about that.

How many of these fake Republicans slipped into office by the efforts of religious conservatives? "He/she promises to end abortion."

Rush Limbaugh (PBUH) repeatedly told us that the establishment Republicans desperately wanted Rush to tone down on abortion. Rush would intimate that the primary reason for this is that the wives of these men were on the eugenics train and were perfectly fine with blacks culling their own.

It is perfectly normal among the Unregenerate to want others to Just Go Away so that a larger fraction of the planet remains for their own personal enjoyment. If killing them in the womb, sending them off to the killing fields in a foreign land, or through euthanasia or gang violence. Just go away.

Dobbs was both. Certainly, and obviously, it is a victory for federalism but the fact is that now states may, and some will, limit or ban abortions altogether.


Wisconsin has laws dating back to the 1840s outlawing abortion. Presently in effect.

If you're a woman on the career track, and you decide to have your company fund an abortion, do you really think that there will be no adverse career ramifications? That the company won't keep that on your permanent work record?

When I was at Goldman, there was a guy who ran my department who had a drug problem at one point. Went to rehab; company paid for it, and he kept his job. He was a Managing Director, made millions for the company and for himself, but never made partner.

I heard a lot about how these Woke companies should be lauded for paying for abortions, but not one word about the unintended consequences of such decisions. Typical of the MSM.

Which is the entire Education system, as currently constituted, must be dismantled and effectively destroyed. All public education should be abolished; it's just Daycare for Delinquents now, so no loss. I suspect that maybe 25% of the current university system could be reformed, but the rest (including every Ivy League school) needs to be burned to the ground, and their endowments confiscated. I have been very glad to see Pete Hegseth, in his new book agree - we are far past the point where Reform is possible, our only option left is destruction and rebuilding from scratch.

The Bill of Rights wasn't meant to be an exclusive list. I believe there should be others. Like the right to travel. And a right to privacy. And a right to birth control.

It went wrong when Roe used the right of privacy / doctor patient construct for abortion. Abortion is really about answering the question "when does infanticide begin" which is not a federal quesion.

And they're right, though not for the reason they think. They're just as wrong as many conservatives who think the clock *can* be turned back. It can't be. It never can be. "Status quo ante bellum" hasn't worked before, won't work now, won't work in the future. It's an impossible concept. There is too much damage, too much bitterness, too many hurt feelings, etc. after a war - be it cultural or physical - to return to the way thing were before the war happened.

So what will happen as the culture war heats up and battles are won and lost? I don't know. I'll take the victories where I can and do so happily, but I'm under no illusions that "victory" however it's defined will result in the world as it was.

It's a reflection of they, themselves. It's the way they operate and what they would do. They put themselves in our shoes on one particular decision - Roe v Wade in this case - and then consider what they would if they had a spasm of new momentum. What they do is march forward at all times at all costs and nothing whatsoever is sacred or fundamental, with everything subordinate to the conflict itself. So they consider the opposition's victory, apply their own approach, project their own stereotypes about us onto the scenario (we're racists, we're sexists, we're theocrats, etc.), and then extrapolate from there and assume an unchecked line of (anti) progress into the future based.

What they're talking about - no more birth control, no more interracial marriage, a return to coverture, imposed theocracy, etc. - is what they would do if their motivations matched that outcome.

The humanities have been destroyed, and no longer act as the reservoirs of knowledge about why the world is and how it has gotten here. The physical sciences explain how the world is, the humanities explain(ed) why.

The destruction of the humanities has been cataclysmic. They no longer exist. The humanities as they exist today post-subversion are no longer an honest, honorable, valuable or noble pursuit. The humanities are the playground of the worst kind of monsters in our civilization today. They are boot camps training soldiers for the culture war and nothing more, and we are far poorer for it.

Sadly and dangerously, the humanities' influence has now been extending out into the physical sciences, which will be destroyed even more quickly because unlike the humanities, the sciences depend on some hard and fast rules.

Black Abortions in 2016: . An estimated 649 abortions were committed on Black women every single day. Black people made up just 12 percent of the U.S. population but accounted for 38 percent of reported abortions.; The Black abortion rate (abortions per 1,000 women aged 15-44 years) was 3.8 times higher than white abortion rate (25.1 v. 6.6) and 2.15 times higher than the Hispanic abortion rate.

I have a good friend, a gay man married to his partner, who I was talking to about this on Saturday. He was glad to see Roe v Wade overturned, but was worried about Thomas' statements in the concurrence. I tried to make three points to him, and I think I was at least partially successful. 1) Thomas is correct, Substantive Due Process is a badly flawed legal doctrine and should be dropped. Gay marriage should be supported on much stronger and more legitimate legal grounds than that.
2) NO ONE is agitating to get rid of gay marriage anymore. That fight is over. 3) All of this fearmongering on the left about conservatives conspiring to take away all of their rights is just fevered wishcasting on their part, based on their fantasies of who they think conservatives are, not on who we really are.

I don't think it's going to happen. The street violence, rioting, vandalism, etc. is largely not spontaneous but is rather a controlled operation unleashed by (and called back in by) leftist organizations with tacit approval by the municipal governments where it occurs. The people calling the shots are sinister but they aren't particularly stupid.

Rioting over this would be extremely damaging for them. Abortion is not the top issue for voters this cycle and they can't make it the top issue because the economy is far too important right now. Moreover, most people in this country support some kind of abortion restriction. "Total ban" and "anytime, anywhere, any reason or no reason at all" are both relatively unpopular positions. Sending out their goons to wreck up cities in the name of no-restrictions abortion when most places will retain some degree of access would be counterproductive and they know it.

It gave lawmaking powers to the executive branch by allowing extreme latitude for executive agencies to write regulations. This created a massive imbalance in governance where Congress started writing very blank laws that the executive would then fill in with whatever they wanted.

It's antithetical to the form of government the US is supposed to have.

They used a picture of a protest for the article, and it shows something pretty ironic. There's a woman in it who painted her midriff with the slogan "regulate your dicks." I guess she's never heard the expression "it takes two to tango" or even considered the possibility of regulating her mish. Then again, she's a younger woman so maybe she actually believes that rape is endemic and all abortions are due to sexual assault.

Posted by: FriscoYoda at June 27, 2022 09:03 AM (S7une)

Without going into great detail, the Chevron precedent vastly expanded the powers of the Federal Bureaucracy in ways never before imagined, and made it impossible for any average person or company to ever effectively challenge any administrative ruling made by an agency. It was the actual birth of the all powerful Administrative State, and the source of so much of the evils that have been destroying us for the last 40 years.

The Chevron decision effectively transferred all actual governing power from an accountable Legislature to an Unaccountable appointed Bureaucracy.

I was a philosophy major in college, a combo major od history and politics. In those days my school had some Straussians still around and students were expected to study widely divergent viewpoints on any particular question, even in a ridiculous major like my own, or you got roasted in class and grades.

That's all gone now. One viewpoint, the critical study perspective, has driven every other view out of a once-great university. The only competition of ideas is "who can be most radical". It is entirely Maoist.

This uniformity is enforced everywhere in my school, right up to the Trustee level. There is zero tolerance of anyone whose opinions diverge. None.

I've been toying with the idea a little myself. I kind of think it would be cool to be able to do a bare boat charter for coastal cruising.

A. Absolutely loved the class ASA 101, and my very uninterested 15 y/o Daughter did as well and she has now caught the sailing bug. Mission Accomplished!! We both plan to spend the summer volunteering to crew other people's boats to gain experience, then we both will take ASA 103 and ASA 104 classes. Passing those we will then be able to bare boat charter down the coast of Florida to the Keys. That's my goal for the year with her.

Chevron allowed Congress to consolidate the three branches of government into a massive unaccountable bureaucracy by granting federal agencies unfettered legislative power to enact “legislation “ through rule making, “judicial” decisions through administrative law judges, and delegated executive power to enforce its own rules and decisions. As one of the many consequences Congress gets to dedicate less time to their constitutional duties and more time and opportunity to grift.

____________

In the photo that accompanied the article, he had long hair and was wearing makeup and earrings, and he was wearing a dress.

Transvestites didn't usually have the "transition" surgery; they just dressed up like women and tucked and taped their junk, and wore fake breasts.

Richards had the surgery and that is sold to kids today as the "magic" solution to all their problems, because it supposedly changes their sex. Except that it doesn't, which was the point Richards was making. He's still a man, with a man's body (one that has been surgically mutilated, but is still a man's body).

The left is lying to kids and telling them that they can "change" their sex, but the truth is that is just not true. We don't have the technology to change anybody's sex. All they do is surgically alter the body to try and mimic the look of the other sex, but the alterations are ludicrous and the new fake sex organs don't work, and the body remains the sex it always was, which is encoded in its DNA.

Definitely. I wouldn't advocate countering Belt-and-Road at the expense of internal economic development. I don't advocate doing it at all, given that we can't afford it.

But no amount of "third-world infrastructure investment and industrial development" will be able to fix the Taiwan problem. Taiwan is replaceable except for the microchips.

Yes, of course. That's true in any manufacturing scenario. And when the hard drive plants had trouble in Taiwan, there was already huge infrastructure in Malaysia, India, etc. as well as catching the NAND explosion largely out of Korea the US and Taiwan itself. Those same conditions don't exist for chips. It isn't all Taiwan - we make a lot of them, as does Malaysia - but Taiwan is systemically important in that space, and it's a strategic problem. We and the Europeans are still dominant in the lithography machinery, but we need the fabrication work back.

431 The Cold Civil War playing out here in the US is part of a world war. It's the Great Binary War, the zeros and ones. The Ones want one world under a global marxist technocratic dictatorship. The Zeros want nothing to do with it. Eventually it will go hot.

434 "426 Hey! I was forced to pay into the social security ponzi scheme and I want my money now! Sure, what I paid in is far less than I will get paid back but that is the whole point of a ponzi scheme.

Thanks! It's so hard to get people to understand "it's a tax" and "you aren't getting your own money back, that was already given out to people ahead of you."
It's crazy that so many #conservatives can take such a basic "gibzmedat" attitude, but I think most know that Socialist Insecurity was a lie. It's just a lie they really, really want to believe.

fucken-A right I want my money back ! fuck yes I knew it was a ponzi, but like a good little citizen I coughed it up for decades with a gummint gun to my head, and if I live another 10 years or so I'll get it back.

And if you don't like that, well fuck you, Millennial.
