The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

punk-monkey.jpg

Beginning in 1979 with the overthrow of the Shah, the Mad Mullahs of Iran have been actively fomenting and financially supporting terrorism across the globe. Their desire to be the preeminent Shia power in the world as a counter to the Sunni powers of Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Egypt, Turkey and others has largely succeeded, using a combination of terrorism, direct arms shipments, and support of proxy armies.

The West has pushed back against Iran, using sanctions that have limited their ability to transfer funds, which has limited their ability to fund terrorists around the world.

But the man whose epitaph should be the quotation from former president Obama: "Don't underestimate Joe's ability to fuck things up," has stayed true to his instincts, and pushed through the release of $6 billion dollars from South Korea to Iran, in exchange for some Americans being held in Iran. But don't worry! According to Antony Blinken, the equally stupid Secretary of State, the funds will only be used for humanitarian purposes!

President Joe Biden Bows to Iran on 9/11: Pays $6 Billion for Five Prisoners

The deal, according to the Associated Press (AP), entailed the Biden administration issuing a blanket waiver for international banks to transfer $6 billion in frozen Iranian money from South Korea to Qatar without U.S. sanctions. The money would then be held in Qatar's central bank for Iran to use, reportedly for the purchase of humanitarian goods.

In addition, the Biden administration agreed to release five Iranian citizens held in the U.S.

According to the AP, Secretary of State Antony Blinken signed off on the deal late last week, but Congress was not notified of the deal until Monday, which was also 9/11, the 22nd anniversary of the U.S. suffering terrorist attacks by Islamic fundamentalists.


That money will be used to offset other expenses of the Iranian regime, so of course the suggestion that it will not fund terrorism is insanely stupid and insulting. Iran will use the money to strengthen its terrorist proxies around the world, and people will die: very possibly Americans, including our soldiers and sailors in harm's way in the Gulf and the horn of Africa.

There is no rational reason to release these funds, especially since there is a small possibility that with the correct support, the Iranian regime can be weakened from within by the many groups within the country that are actively pursuing the overthrow of the Mad Mullahs. But that cash will buttress the kleptocratic lunatics in Tehran, and the opposition will suffer.

The stupidity of the administrations reckless pursuit of an accomodation with the murderers who have been running Iran for 45 years is hard to explain. There is no geopolitical goal that can be accomplished other than an increase in terrorism and increased pressure on Israel and Trump's Abraham Accords that have done so much to ease tensions in the Middle East.

Oh...wait!

Yeah...this is a not-very-subtle attack on president Trump's wonderful legacy in the Middle East, coupled with significant support for Israel's main antagonist in the world. The Biden/Kalorama junta is willing to accept an increase in terrorism in the world just to stick another pin in their Israel voodoo doll. Their most fervent hope is that Iran can become a counterbalance to Israel's power and influence in the Middle East, for reasons that are opaque, but seem to be based on little more than good old-fashioned Jew-hate!

Well, I might be a bit unfair, since it is entirely possible that their real hope is a nuclear-armed Iran that will launch against Israel the day their engineers put their first atomic weapon on a missile.

If I weren't convinced of Biden's creeping dementia, I might be confident of his true desire to see a nuclear exchange, since it seems as though that is what the administration is pushing for. Confronting Russia by pushing NATO eastward is aggressive and stupid. Funding Iran, with its significant nuclear weapons program, is aggressive and stupid.

What's next...lighting a fire on the India-Pakistan border? Telling China that it's okay to take just a little bit of Taiwan?

I shouldn't give them any ideas!

One of the kiddos fiancé's family are big Cribbage players, and after he'd been playing with them over a Thanksgiving or Christmas, he noticed that whoever goes first (assuming players are equal in experience) always wins.

Which apparently is correct. It's a known flaw in the game.

Anywho, he was smart enough not to point it out to her family, but did mention it to her.

She didn't believe him but now she does after having it proven over and over.

It's kind of funny how mad she she was about him noticing that.

Fact is, on the day after 9/11/01, had we done this, not one nation in the world would have dared say SHIT to us in response.

I totally get it. Jews are a relatively small, easily identifiable demographic located in many of Europe's classic hotspots; although they are European (Ashkenazi) their ancestors came from this weird place called the "Middle East," so they are relatively easy to Other; they aren't big on the central figure of the dominant Western religion, which again makes them relatively easy to Other; and they are generally more successful as a group than other demographics, which breeds jealousy and a need to Other. They are, in many ways, the perfect scapegoats.

69 Iran's friends are few, but Russia has military ties and is going to be providing Iran with two dozen advanced fighter jets that were originally earmarked for Turkey. The US nixed that deal about two years ago.

So Iran will be upgrading it's pretty sucky air force with some fairly top-of-the-line aircraft.

And they're supplying Russia with suicide drones to use against Ukraine.

72 The Evil Vladimir Putin tells filthy lies about Our Wonderful Political System!

The Hill:

Russian President Vladimir Putin knocked the criminal cases against former President Trump on Tuesday, calling them a demonstration of the “rottenness” of the American political system.

“As for the prosecution of Trump, for us what is happening in today’s conditions, in my opinion, is good because it shows the rottenness of the American political system, which cannot pretend to teach others democracy,” Putin said during a speech at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, Russia.

He argued that “everything that is happening with Trump is the persecution of a political rival for political reasons.”

77 I totally get it. Jews are a relatively small, easily identifiable demographic located in many of Europe's classic hotspots; although they are European (Ashkenazi) their ancestors came from this weird place called the "Middle East," so they are relatively easy to Other; they aren't big on the central figure of the dominant Western religion, which again makes them relatively easy to Other; and they are generally more successful as a group than other demographics, which breeds jealousy and a need to Other. They are, in many ways, the perfect scapegoats.

Seem to recall us discussing it here. Talking about cold war simulations for how a nuclear commitment would go.

10-20% would not push the button
10-20% would not light off
10-20% would not go thermonuclear the way they should

That kind of thing. IIRC, the speculation is that those numbers would be much larger now (even though above I was just trying to recall ballpark numbers.)

Your hand consists of 3 fives and a jack and the card that is cut is the five of the same suit as the jack in your hand. Scores as 8 different combinations of fifteen, (for 16 points) and six unique combinations of a pair (for 12 points) plus Nobs (1 point)
Total score 29 points.

163 Russian President Vladimir Putin knocked the criminal cases against former President Trump on Tuesday, calling them a demonstration of the “rottenness” of the American political system.

“As for the prosecution of Trump, for us what is happening in today’s conditions, in my opinion, is good because it shows the rottenness of the American political system, which cannot pretend to teach others democracy,” Putin said during a speech at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, Russia.

He argued that “everything that is happening with Trump is the persecution of a political rival for political reasons.”

“That’s what it is,” the Putin continued. “And this is being done in front of the public of the United States and the whole world.”

164 "Scholars" maintain that a new Disney zombie movie is racist.
The humans represent white people “because they are situated in brightly colored suburban homes, they play and stroll on clean beaches, and they socialize in quaint, safe, clean downtown streets and restaurants,” the authors argued. “Furthermore, valuing conformity, they all wear preppy, pastel-colored clothes and have midwestern accents and language choices.”

However, “Zombies, who are visibly darkened with green hair and grayish skin color,...

“They are also a musical and rhythmic culture that likes hip-hop, and they live in an inner-city space rather than the suburbs like the humans. Zombietown is visually constructed to reinforce their impoverished and lower-class status, specifically through repurposed, damaged building materials or actual refuse.


Sooo....whites maintain their property, pick up the trash, and are neat, clean, law-abiding, and speak standard English, but blacks...

Posted by: Mr Aspirin Factory at September 12, 2023 11:14 AM

I'm sure he's consulting with Joe Rogin on this injury just as he did with covid.

Torn Achilles reported. My guess is he's done in the NFL. Go to your dark room now Aaron and avoid ANY and ALL of those Liberal vaccinations.

Anti-Vaxer has no problem with seeing doctors immediately after getting injured. Vaccines/Science ... Medical Help/Science. I could have probably phrased that better but that's all the thought I will give this.

I was just thinking of how bad covid was in NY. Hard to believe they would like a antivaxer that lied about it.

We used to let private organizations do it, and we had less poverty because the private organizations had the incentive to get people fixed and out living better lives.

Now we have institutions that consider it a success if they get more people on welfare rather than getting people off of welfare.

My favorite part of this isn’t the Orwellian redefinition of language, but the clear example of double think in his train of thought.


Socialism is, by definition, at the same time something that is so completely ubiquitous everywhere so as to be completely unobjectionable. But also something we also by definition are not doing right now at all, because he’s arguing for it to be done.

Easy: not you.

That's always the universal rule. *You* are not the "public" and the "public good" is not *your* good. Explicitly, if it benefits you as a participant - e.g., if you are someone with something - then the "public good" is not only never your good, it's opposed to your good.

It's a very simple rule.

But all 55,000 came from families where the fifth line of their Soviet internal passports said "Jewish", which meant that they were discriminated against in education, employment, housing, and every other aspect of Soviet life.

Ironic if your family was discriminated against for decades by the USSR for being Jews, and then you're denied entrance to Israel for not being Jewish enough.

If I want war news that's actually about, you know, WAR? And like FIGHTING? And BATTLEFIELD developments? I go to those Brit outlets, + ISW (Institute for the Study of War).

Since shutdowns don't affect transfer payments, the correct response is to power through the early bad press, highlight people who are still getting it (which would be everyone), and then talk about how much fun it is to see the rest of the fed fall into disarray.

Yea, they will. Their problem is the mountains of evidence are getting pretty hard to ignore.

You mean like devalued currency, rampant crime, weaponized justice system, importing illegals and giving them welfare as fast as they can break in?
If I get any more common good I couldn't stand it.

Sure. Whatever. Send piecemeal funding bills. No more omnibuses. You want funding for Medicare? Okay, here it is. But it's *just* Medicare - no carve-outs for the DOJ or "the Arts" or the military or whatever else. One bill per thing. Fund it all. Except the parts you refuse to fund.

Let the Senate and the President block it or veto it.

393 Israel is in the midst of a power struggle between, very roughly speaking, a largely secular-to-anti religious globalist elite, (largely of Ashkenazi descent) and is trying hard to stay in power against a more centrist to right bloc with Jews of North African and Middle Eastern ancestors plus the fast growing religious sector.

The Israeli Left delegitimized themselves by claiming that the Palestinians wanted peace, so you could negotiate on the basis of mutual interest.

The Palestinians want to destroy Israel. Period.

Zombietown is visually constructed to reinforce their impoverished and lower-class status, specifically through repurposed, damaged building materials or actual refuse.

Sooo....whites maintain their property, pick up the trash, and are neat, clean, law-abiding, and speak standard English, but blacks...

Racist much?

Yeah, this is right down there with the claim that Orcs represent People Of Color in LOTR. The movie came out about 5 years ago too, so this is another attempt to keep the corpse of the horse representing Institutional Racism on stage so it can be flogged again. And again. and again.

399 335. Ironic if your family was discriminated against for decades by the USSR for being Jews, and then you're denied entrance to Israel for not being Jewish enough.

IIRC, the US had an "issue" in 1970s, maybe through the early 1980s with similar entry into the USA and entrants were community sponsored. They were warmly welcomed until it became difficult for placement, training & job placement for many who either didn't want the community or the community eventually didn't want them. (And employees fled the federal placement program, CETA, at a high volume.)

It took awhile for people on all sides to adapt.
