Election Update
The Dirty Little Secret of the 2024 Campaign
We all know what's going wrong for Biden: He's widely perceived as too old to be running again; Americans remain unhappy with the economy, deeply enraged over border policy and alarmed by the brush fires around the world. Biden came into office promising normalcy, and he has instead delivered chaos. But there's something else going on, too. Joe Biden is losing to Donald Trump because of a dirty little secret: Donald Trump is actually the moderate in this race. On nearly every issue, Trump is closer to the median voter than Biden. Biden won the Democratic primaries over Sen. Bernie Sanders in 2020 because voters thought he would tack toward the center, away from the insanity of The Squad in Congress -- borderline psychotics like Reps. Cori Bush, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar. Instead, he entered office believing that he had a mandate for transformation, that he could become our age's FDR or LBJ. And so Biden abandoned the middle.
Here's my take, and it's worth every cent you paid for it. Trump can win if can keep the election about Biden. Biden can win if Trump makes the election about Trump. Unfortunately, keeping the focus away from himself is not Trump's strong suit. That's assuming that the election is relatively fair. I have no doubt that the Commies have been refining and preparing their fraudulent vote machine for the past 4 years. Trump can beat the margin of error. I'm not sure anybody can beat the margin of fraud.
What Really Grinds Your Gears?
The Poison That's Killing The West
We Are the Victims and Everything We Do is Justified
At the heart of everything from the debate over the Gaza War to DEI to toxic interpersonal relationships is a disastrous loop known as the “self-reinforcing victim/villain” cycle. The self-reinforcing victim/villain cycle is a deceptively simple and incredibly destructive paradigm for any kind of relationship, national, communal or personal, in which one party constantly attacks the other while claiming that it is the victim fighting against oppression. The paradigm is guided by the idea that there is a permanently fixed victim and villain, that the victim is constantly suffering attacks from the villain and that anything the victim does is justified because he or she has no agency except to resist the assaults of the villain. While some Hamas supporters have lied or tried to cover up the atrocities of Oct 7, Ghazi Hammad, a Hamas official, initially denied them, but then burst out with, “the existence of Israel is what causes all that pain, blood, and tears. It is Israel, not us. We are the victims of the occupation. Period. Therefore, nobody should blame us for the things we do. On October 7, October 10, October 1,000,000 – everything we do is justified.” “We are the victims”, “nobody should blame us” and “everything we do is justified” perfectly capture the cruel workings of the cycle. So many westerners have sided with Hamas because they accept, incorporate and make use of the same cycle in their own politics and lives.If we can't bring back the idea of personal agency and responsibility for one's actions, along with a societal moral code of right and wrong, we are doomed.
Is This A Solution?
Four Lessons for a Fragile America
The United States’ sprawling geography has long encouraged the dispersion of people, but since World War II we have buoyantly pursued an American dream that has so disconnected us from each other that it is starting to look like an illusion. We’ve been allured by the siren songs of individual autonomy, national economic growth, and modernist utopian planning. These are fueled by consumption and carried out at a scale that discourages and distracts us from being persons in space and time. Today, physical landscapes are designed for vehicles rather than relationships, and many neighbors have nothing in common with each other besides geography. Our smartphones and other devices make us feel that we inhabit a digital space—a space that makes promises about belonging that it cannot keep. The result of all these changes is predictable: We have endless choices, and yet feel alienated from our surroundings because we do not belong anywhere and feel powerless to do anything about our circumstances. Individuals experience growing anxiety, anomie, anger—and our society suffers from mistrust and polarization of our politics. The health of Americans has been declining relative to other developed countries for over four decades, a trajectory that significantly worsened in the 2010s (that is, pre-COVID). While we often talk about economic inequality, social inequality—differences in how much one is supported or held back by one’s family, neighbors, friends, and social network—is arguably a much larger problem.The author offers the example of the Orthodox Jewish community as a solution, and he makes a lot of good points. He makes some bad ones too, but the biggest problem that I see is that the Orthodox Jewish community is separate and distinct from the larger society it exists in. The same is true of the other communities he points to: The Amish, Mormons and Catholics. All of them exits “in but not of” the larger society as a whole. Oh, and they're all religious groups as well. You could throw in Muslim communities centered on the local mosque as well. How do you make it work for a secular, multi-cultural America as a whole? That's Just Plain Meme! If Memes Are Illegal, All Speech Will Become Illegal
Mackey, the man behind the now-defunct Twitter persona Ricky Vaughn, was convicted on March 31 of this year of “conspiracy against rights” in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 241, a Reconstruction Era law designed to counteract the violent voter suppression tactics of the Ku Klux Klan. In October, Mackey was sentenced to seven months in federal prison. Mackey’s alleged conspiracy? Posting a joke meme on Twitter. Really. See for yourself. The offending tweet features an image of a mock political flier, which, according to federal prosecutors, was aimed at deceiving Hillary Clinton voters with the text, “Avoid the line. Vote from home. Text ‘Hillary’ to 59925.” Another tweet, also named in the suit, instructs readers to cast their vote by posting the word “Hillary” to Facebook and Twitter alongside the hashtag #PresidentialElection.The case really is the canary in the coal mine of the end of free speech.

Red meat for the MSNBC/The View crowd. They will feel vindicated. It will give them all "talking points" to refute all you ugly "MAGAts" for the next few weeks, until Joe does something stupid or ridiculous.
For most people, it was not truthful, uplifting or inspiring. Just a moderately demented old man on some kind of chemical stimulant, shouting at the country.

The other night I mentioned what happened to my 93 yr old mother. I haven't posted in a night or two (hell, I don't know what day it is really). Miley and I both are exhausted, and I'm gonna hit the sack soon, but here's what happened:
My mother likely had a "slight" ischemic stroke. As Johnny Carson used to say, "I did not know that", but subdural brain bleeding can cause ischemic strokes due to pressure, and maybe some other mechanism.
The docs think that's what happened to Mama. They've transferred her to this place in Mauldin, SC, "Encompass Health Care", which does stroke/brain injury rehab. It's a fairly new place, and seems nice and clean. Staff seems to be pretty good.
He speech has been affected, and there appears to be some slight damage to the circuits that control her right hand and arm. She can move them, but there's some fine motor problems, for say holding a pen and writing....

The thing about every Democrat rant ever is they never punch up but always punch down, 'deplorables' being the best example but Joey the B. hatefully spitting out 'MAGA Republicans' counts, too. They want to get the rich party invites so Dems always kick the little guy. For Dems, we're all 'Commanders', dogs abused by their ilk. It's now looking like those dogs are starting to bite back, too.

1. No big territorial moves today.
2. The Ukrainians are evacuating Kharov in the northeast, expecting the next big Russian offensive to start there soon.
3. Macron of France calls for everybody to stand up and fight Russia, getting an audience reaction like a Jeb Bush campaign rally.

At any rate, my mother appears to be in good hands. She can understand what you're saying apparently, but just can speak back too well. She can say short, simple things like "yes", "no", and so forth, but when she attempts to say a detailed, longer sentence, it's just a Biden-esque jumble of sounds.
Anyway, at this rehab place, they're going to do intensive speech therapy and some other things. Stay should be about 2 weeks, and depending on her status, they'll either discharge her back home with Miley and me, or a longer stay at skilled nursing.
She's comfortable, not upset or in distress, and I think she's in pretty good hands.
And not, sleepy time....

I watched for a few minutes. Joe recited a lot of lies and distortions of the truth.
Red meat for the MSNBC/The View crowd. They will feel vindicated. It will give them all "talking points" to refute all you ugly "MAGAts" for the next few weeks, until Joe does something stupid or ridiculous.
For most people, it was not truthful, uplifting or inspiring. Just a moderately demented old man on some kind of chemical stimulant, shouting at the country.
It must be a nightmare to work for this guy in the White House.

That's your interpretation of it.
It was awful, but I wasn't his audience, he wasn't trying to win me over, he doesn't care what I think or what I want, he had one objective, deliver a polemic, stay upright, stay coherent, throw as much red meat to his base as possible and get out of there in one piece, then let his force multipliers in the Democrat Media and Cultural Complex do the heavy lifting.
He accomplished what he set out to do.

Yes, because I'm a normal human being. It's also the opinion of Tucker, VDH and many others.
You keep insisting that this was a base speech and it was but that is not the purpose of a SOTU speech. Particularly not for a sitting president who is historically unpopular and even his base wants someone else.
The SOTU is a chance for the president to unite the country. It is a unique mix of pomp and politics and Joe blew it. He came across as divine and angry not presidential.
The left and media would cheer for him no matter what. They would cheer for a rabid dog. Irrelevant. He brought nobody new back to him. He slurred and stumbled his way through the speech but was not impressive or presidential. Any bump he gets will be fleeting. I have no idea what he set out to do but he didn't help himself at all no matter what your interpretation.

He aphasia seems to be "improved" if you can call it that. At first, her attempts at speech were just nonsense sounds. But now, she can form actual words, but they're the wrong words, in the wrong order, but actual words.
It's something to see. She understands things. She wants to say something, and knows it's not coming out right. You can see the frustration in her eyes and her facial expressions. "Why can't I talk right?!"

As ever, you seem to be stuck pining for a world that simply no longer exists.
The purpose of the speech was not to unify, it was to divide, to create a boogeyman, to motivate and reassure his foot soldiers, to provide talking points to his apparatchiks in the MSM, etc.
And to that extent, it was successful.
What he did tonight has been the stock and trade of pretty much every Democrat President as far as can think back.
Ultimately, the speech will be forgotten in a week, but that was not the point of this speech, to be memorable.

24 Tacoma owners are cautioned to not drive their pickup trucks off road until they figure out what to do.
Apparently the Automatic Differential Disconnect which is meant to disconnect the differential from the drive train under certain critical loads to save the drive train from catastrophic damage, catastrophically disconnected from the drive train, ironically.

I saw him do another interview, I think with Tim Dillon, maybe. He's very odd. He appears to be quite smart, in a very narrow sort of way. But also dense as a brick and unable to comprehend things outside of a tight set of parameters. I get the impression that he's led a very cloistered life.
His voice and manner of speech are also exceedingly off-putting. It's hard to describe. Like a robot on Xanax. It's a weird mix of annoying and soporific.

I caught that too. Quite a speech. He misspoke or slurred words 37 times in 1 hour, 9 minutes.
While his lies about political issues were constant, I was more amused by the personal lies.
Anyone can set me straight but I'm pretty sure these are lies...

Connected to machines. Can't seem to live our lives without doing so.
Interesting comment on why kids are depressed today. They live on-line and see nfluencers having great life, not knowing how fake those videos are. For example, ther is a private aircraft cabin one can rent to shoot film. Influencers were found to be using that business service to create envy and to get clicks. But mostly to create envy. Kids see that and compare their lives to fantasy make-believe and no wonder they get depressed. The comment: 'Kids today are so invested in watching other people 'live' their lives on-line they don't bother living their own lives.'
Now we're hooked up good and proper to The Machine. Pretty soon, we'll have people 'working' on machinery about which they have no clue how it actually works. Things will break down, then more and faster. There'll be DEI physical casualties along with the inevitable societal breakdown, but those omelets, the eggs don't break themselves.

Here in SoCal just south of the Nightwatch castle, in the forest on the shores of a place called "Big Bear Lake" sits a high Jeffery's Pine and atop that, a nest which is home to a pair of local Bald Eagles, "Jackie & Shadow." The Friend's of the Big Bear Valley" got together a few years back and were able to mount a camera during the off season and now affords us 24/7 viewing when the Eagles are actively nesting.
This year Jackie laid a historic 3 eggs and views of the feed have gone beyond 30,000 as we await the "pipping" or the new eagles busting out of their shells.
Alas, the 1st egg has gone past the usual cycle and has been deemed "unviable" at this point.
Hope holds out for the other 2 eggs over the weekend into early next week.

Evening, Jim. Missed your response to my Walther question on Tuesday's ONT. Yeah the slide is open-top, but the rear half is closed, and has a flat on top more than long enough to fit the mounting plate for the GaiaLoop. I think I could arrange for a mount that would stand the optic off by a quarter inch or so, allowing co-witness with the iron sights. Think I will go ahead and order the spare slide.

They gave him stuff to increase his BP and heartrate to more normal levels. Was still out of it, but a bit ornery tonight before I left. Had to tell him: "If I take you to the bathroom like you want me to, they hospital WILL kick me out, Dad."
He's on blood thinners, been in bed for four days, is a fall risk, and has a access to his femoral artery. Imagine what happens if he falls...

Right now I'm watching her make a pound cake and GOD I can taste that batter. I don't want to lick the bowl, I want to just grab a spoon and eat. She talks through it, of course. "Now, we're gonna scrape those eggs down, and use our seven-pound cake tin. I've got nothing but eeeggggs, suuugah, butteh, and flow-wer in there now." A pale lemon cloud of fluff in the pan.

Went thru this w/ Dad a few months ago. Afib and other conditions landed him in the hosp when I was visiting. At first he was so out of it that he kept trying to get out of the bed.
They had nurses watching him 24/7 but I was able to give them some relief and get thru to him a little bit of reassurance.
He's home now, doing fine at 87 with some assistance. I'm amzed, but he's a tough old bird.

1. Unlike French (which is regulated by a prissy "Academy"), German is not only willing but extremely eager to adopt foreign words without modification. That is why they don't bother coming up with new words for things there are already good names for like 'taunting' and 'touchdown'.
2. The idea that German has "lots of words" comes from their love of compound words, where they take several everyday words and combine them into what (to a non-speaker) looks like a monstrously long new word. Let me give you three examples from World War 2:
-Tank = 'Panzerkampfwagen' [Literally 'Armored War Vehicle']
-Halftrack = 'Sonderkraftfahrzeug' [Literally 'Special Purpose Vehicle', though the name could be used for all manner of military vehicles in spite of though being remembered solely as a designation for halftracks]
-Submarine = 'Unterseeboot' [Literally 'Under Sea Boat']
I help a couple of German speaking YouTubers edit their English language scripts on military history topics, so I know a little about this topic.
