Quick Tsit

You're not going to believe this, but Capitol Police will not be charging a Democrat staffer for sticking his ins-erection into another guy's antechamber in the Senate Hearing Room.

'For now, we are closing the investigation into the facts and circumstances surrounding a sex video that was recorded inside the Hart Senate Office Building on the morning of Wednesday, December 13. After consulting with federal and local prosecutors, as well as doing a comprehensive investigation and review of possible charges, it was determined that - despite a likely violation of Congressional policy - there is currently no evidence that a crime was committed. Although the hearing room was not open to the public at the time, the Congressional staffer involved had access to the room. The two people of interest were not cooperative, nor were the elements of any possible crimes met. The Congressional staffer, who has since resigned from his job, exercised his Fifth Amendment right to remain silent and refused to talk to us. Our investigators are willint to review any new evidence should any come to light.'

Weird, the feds had no problem making up crimes to charge all the J6ers with. Apparently "parading" is a crime. Did this guy not parade his wang into the other guy's mouth?

No Democrats are ever charged, ever.

On the other hand, they firebombed the offices that John Hindraker works out of, along with other conservative groups, and I'm sure the FBI will be giving this all the same priority they've given to apprehending the Capitol pipe-bomber.

I wasn't entirely forthcoming in this post about why I haven't written much the last few days. It is true that I have been in Washington, mostly to attend the Michael Mann v. Mark Steyn trial. I will write up my thoughts on the trial (or at least, those portions I have seen) when I have time.
But something else has been distracting me: leftists firebombed my office last Saturday night. At around 2 am, they broke into the building that houses Center of the American Experiment and two other conservative organizations with which we often collaborate, along with many other businesses. The arsonists set two fires: one was in the first floor corridor between American Experiment's office and the space we sublease to Take Charge, Kendall and Sheila Qualls' organization. A second fire was set on the third floor, immediately outside or perhaps actually inside the office of the Upper Midwest Law Center, on whose board I serve. This photo shows what the corridor outside my office looks like:

Remember when we used to live in a First World Country? I liked that. That was nice.

Thanks to The ARC of History!

Remember when third world revolutionaries toppled statues throughout the US and basically The Regime applauded them for vandalism and destruction?

Well, someone cut the head off a statue of SATAN and The Regime reacted as you'd expect The Regime to react when something sacred to them has been desecrated: They charged this particular statue-defacer with a hate crime.

A hate crime! For cutting the head off a Satanic statue!

A Mississippi man accused of destroying a statue of a pagan idol at Iowa's state Capitol is now being charged with a hate crime.
The statue was brought to the Capitol by the Satanic Temple of Iowa under state rules allowing religious displays in the building during the holidays. The move drew strong criticism from state and national leaders, including Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds and Florida Gov. and presidential candidate Ron DeSantis, both Republicans. On Dec. 14, the figure depicting the horned deity Baphomet was "destroyed beyond repair," according to the group.
Michael Cassidy, a former congressional and legislative candidate from Mississippi, was charged the next day with fourth-degree criminal mischief, a misdemeanor. He told the conservative website The Sentinel that "my conscience is held captive to the word of God, not to bureaucratic decree. And so I acted."
Now, Polk County prosecutors have charged Cassidy with a more serious offense, the Des Moines Register reported. A document made public Tuesday charged him with felony third-degree criminal mischief. It alleges the act was committed "in violation of individual rights" under Iowa's hate crime statute.
"Evidence shows the defendant made statements to law enforcement and the public indicating he destroyed the property because of the victim's religion," Lynn Hicks, a spokesman for the Polk County Attorney's Office, said in a statement.

Satanism, she means.

The Babylon Bee put together an Infographic explaining what kinds of statues you are and are not allowed to deface or destroy:

Yes: Thomas Jefferson, known bigot and slave owner
No: Satan, brave and inclusive hero
Yes: George Washington, father of racist country
No: George Floyd, father of Black Lives Matter
...
Yes: Marines hoisting flag on Iwo Jima, symbol of male toxicity
No: Drag queens hoisting Pride flag, symbol of males being stunning and fabulous
Yes: Confederate solider, who killed his own countrymen
No: Antifa soldier, who killed his own countrymen
Yes: Jesus, leader of evil and intolerant Christians
No: Jesus holding a rainbow flag, leader of good and tolerant faux-Christians

America is closing down soon. Plan accordingly.

18 When I first worked in the Capitol, I was shocked by the lack of pre-installed whores under the desks. Not only the movies, but the mainstream media, P. J. O'Rourke, and even my own recruiting materials led me to expect that whores were standard fixtures under the Capitol desks.

I resented having to sit at a desk with no whore to even fondle my buttocks. It was embarrassing, after all they promised me.

That was in 1987.

Ace did a post earlier today on the revelations. It's really not anything people here didn't already know or guess. A fairly senior White House desk monkey got catfished by James O'Keefe. The staffer said Biden's mind is declining, Michelle Obama really doesn't want to be POTUS, that Kamala is hemorrhaging staffers and nobody wants her around anymore. Stuff like that.

My favorite part of the story is the "hahaha, let's do things to irritate normal people, we're so cool" aspect of this kind of thing.

Satan doesn't care. All that matters to him is that you're worshipping him. Jokes, t-shirts, clever bumper stickers, doesn't matter. It doesn't even matter if you don't believe in him. Matter of fact, that might make it even better for him.

Colombians don't have a twang, they have a fairly unstressed and non-swinging accent that at times will drop a g and pronounce an LL like a mildly slurred J. Up country they tend to whine a bit, but not much.

165 Your standard Confederate statue, a soldier leaning on his rifle atop an obelisk, remains standing in most towns around here. The soldier is always looking north. Court houses from the Confederacy that were burned and reconstructed usually have their main entrance at the south of the building.

167 Roman firefighters II:

Augustus actually formed the Vigiles, not banned them:

Some wealthy individuals would form their own personal fire brigades. An aedile by the name of Egnatius Rufus created a band of slaves that were tasked with putting out fires. His motivation was either to help the Roman people or to gain political status. In 21 BC, Augustus reorganized Rufus' slaves, creating a new group of 600 slaves led by the aediles.[4] Eventually, Augustus created a fire brigade called the Vigiles Urbani in 6 AD.[5][6][7][8][9][10]

Later Pliny governing in the provinces wrote Trajan about forming firefighters:

You are of opinion it would be proper to establish a company of firemen in Nicomedia, agreeably to what has been practised in several other cities. But it is to be remembered that societies of this sort have greatly disturbed the peace of the province in general, and of those cities in particular. Whatever name we give them, and for whatever purposes they may be founded, they will not fail to form themselves into factious assemblies, however short their meetings may be.

168 Lenin crafted the evil tactics and they were so good they are still being used today in our political system. Such as, infiltrate the opposition because that is the only way to control it, and accuse your opponents of the misdeeds you are already doing.
This list is pretty long.

Lenin crafted crap, that stuff had been around long before him. Hell Russia had been bombing the Czars for at least 100 years before he came along.

And overturning the Tsars wasn't even all his work. He just backstabbed a lot of the others.

177 My ex's uncle was a Capitol cop. Double dipper. Got a retirement from a local PD and joined Capitol, retired as a Sgt. He had wild stories, some starting like "and there was the night we found Senator X sleeping it off in the elevator". He said most, but not all were arrogant bastards that treated the cops like personal servants.

I'd say that, at the critical moment, Capitol PD delivered beyond the wildest of Congressional expectations. Back the blue.

It sure looks like they are employing the tactics the Iranians are using on us. Push...push...push and eventually you get a response. So start pushing elsewhere and keep going.

Assuming it were possible, what would one use to measure that low, considering that not much is moving at 0°K ?

188 "America is closing down soon. Plan accordingly."

Well, imo the globalists like us to boil slowly like the frog in the pan (even if that is a bad analogy). We won't "shut down" most likely, we will just keep sliding away.

But maybe there is a black swan event(s), maybe there is a proper response? idk, but the Texas response on the border seems like a start.

Financially ... do the BRICs really have a plan, a currency anyone can trust? The whole world (the richest at least) are invested in "our" markets. Hard to say, but better to have a year of food and a plan for ? worse shutdowns than we have seen so far. tick tock ...

189 Of course. This is the most important thing.

Kevin McCarthy is not done trying to exact revenge on the fellow Republicans who ended his Hill career.
