The Morning Rant
[H/T CBD-The Normandy American Cemetery & Memorial. Colleville-sur-Mer, France. August 10, 2025] Charles Brown WNBA Product is on remote location raiding mustard farms and vineyards.
I'm an American. My heritage is one of German, Prussian, English and French Canadian. Hey, I'm a mutt and good with that. All of my relatives fled their European homeland for North America. And I have no desire to celebrate my heritage other than practicing Western Civilization behavior, Judaeo/Christian beliefs and our constitution and Bill of Rights. Even though WWII ended 80 years ago. Many of us know someone who was directly affected by WWII. US, UK, Canadian troops, French Resistance and others battled the original axis of evil. The UK, home of the Magna Carta and the original Bill of Rights. France, home of great patriots who came to the US colonies to defeat George III. The others previously mentioned all lovers of freedom. Why did those American soldiers (CBD's photo) give the ultimate sacrifice for Europeans when Europeans today embrace the beliefs they fought against 80 some years ago. Why? The UK has become so thin skinned. (Actually they are a bunch of pu$$ies.) If you are a male. Don't you dare whistle at females jogging.
REPORT: Female UK police officers are going undercover by dressing in tight clothes to elicit catcalls from men so they can then arrest them, according to the Telegraph.
The Surrey Police Department is proud to announce that multiple men have been arrested for "harassment." The females are reportedly pretending to be joggers to catch men catcalling them. "One of our officers was honked at within 10 minutes, then another vehicle slowed down, beeping and making gestures just 30 seconds later, that’s how frequent it is," said certified dork and Inspector Jon Vale. "We get catcalled. We get honked at. People slow down just to stare or lean out the window to shout something. It’s so common, but it’s harassment and it needs to be recognized as such," said Officer Abby Hayward to the Telegraph. "This behavior is either a precursor to something more serious, or it’s ignorance, and it’s fixable." "That’s where our interventions come in: to stop potential repeat offenders or help people understand that what they’re doing isn’t OK." The new task force has resulted in 18 arrests for "s*xual assault, harassment, and theft," according to the Telegraph.
Thank God Almighty that they nipped the catcalling in the bud. I would hate to see something really bad happen.
A culture of “blindness, ignorance and prejudice” led to repeated failures over decades to properly investigate cases in which children were abused by grooming gangs, a report has said. As the government announced a public inquiry into the scandal, Louise Casey said for too long the authorities had shied away from the ethnicity of the people involved, adding it was “not racist to examine the ethnicity of the offenders”. Lady Casey said she found evidence of “over-representation” of Asian and Pakistani heritage men among suspects in local data – collected in Greater Manchester, West and South Yorkshire – and criticised a continued failure to gather robust data at a national level.My guess, if your name is Abdul or Mohammed, you can whistle until the
Paul Joseph Watson has a view on this as well..........
And it's not just whistling that will get you in trouble. The UK's speech police have been on the prowl for some time.
In recent years, the number of people arrested in the UK for sending or posting offensive messages on social media that caused annoyance, discomfort, or anxiety has been increasing. According to data from The Times, the figures for England and Wales are as follows:
But it isn't just the UK which has lost its bloody common sense. It is all of Europe. Let's just take a quick peek shall we?
Perhaps you remember the German who was raided by the man because of a meme.
Not to be outdone, The Czech decided to go full German Biden Gestapo.
SPD billboards, seen as racist by many observers, campaigned “against the EU migration pact” depicting a black man with a blood-stained shirt and holding a knife, accompanied by the message “discrepancies in healthcare won’t be solved by ‘surgeons’ from import”. Okamura is accused of inciting hatred, a crime which carries a penalty of up to three years in prison.Something tells me the Czech press probably has the same Maryland Man mental illness our press has.
Vice-President Vance addressed basic rights to the Europeans earlier this year. One would have thought he had been removing toe nails with a needle nose pliers.
The European pendulum's of absurd governance may swing to level-headiness. However with the speed of Islamic conquest of the UK and Europe via appeasement; the Magna Charta, Bill of Rights and other perks of Western Civilization

The last time I was in London, I noticed the signs and placards up in the Metro stations and cars telling all that staring was a criminal offense.
Seriously.
I won't go back.

That's the BEST PART! They DON'T whistle or shout. They just grab them and move to rape quickly. UK condones that. As long as you're brown.

One of my favorite videos was this feminist in NYC being filmed walking around for like an hour or so. All of the harassment was from either black or hispanic dudes (and some of it was legit disturbing, like walking alongside her trying to almost hold her hand for several blocks).
When called out on it, the group that did the filming said white dudes did it too, they just happened to lose that footage.
Spectacular on all accounts.

Since we are on the subject of catcalling and Europe…I will relate how when I was a frequent visitor across the pond, the Italian men were insufferable. Knowing the language, I replied one time, just to let them know they weren’t dealing with a typical tourist. That was a mistake.
The French men would leer aggressively but never verbalize their appreciation.
The Brits would just pont and laugh.
Ok, maybe the last part was an exaggeration.

"We get catcalled. We get honked at. People slow down just to stare or lean out the window to shout something. It’s so common, but it’s harassment and it needs to be recognized as such," said Officer Abby Hayward to the Telegraph.
Or maybe, just maybe, people are hollering at you to get out of the road and back onto the jogging path.
The lack of specificity when it comes to reporting "insults" makes me distrust the media and government officials.

My guess, if your name is Abdul or Mohammed, you can whistle until the cows goats come home.
My bet is that almost all the catcalls were coming from Abdul or Mohammed.
I remember that some feminist group made a documentary filming a voluptuous woman wearing tight clothing walking in New York, to show all the evil cat calling she had to endure.
The documentary was quickly withdrawn when it was noted that it wasn't white people doing the catcalling.

This kind of thing is necessary when you've convinced yourself that all women are being oppressed by white men. You have to invent oppression to police because white men aren't actually the problem. So you have to make them the problem. Kind of like that stupid television show they made recasting a minority crime as a white one. This is the whole point of the systemic racism, structural racism, the patriarchy, white privilege, white supremacy ideology being pushed. The targets are predetermined, you just have to do the paperwork.
The US really isn't that far behind Britain. We have an opportunity to turn back, but I'm skeptical we will, having repeatedly see-sawed back and forth politically and given the degree to which things are rigged.

What's really disturbing about the British honeypot thing is that the police even admit that the catcalling isn't illegal.
Posting memes isn't illegal either, but in Britain that often will get you a "courtesy" call from the cops.

Ahhh, there's good news! Miss Rosalind was Best of Winners and Best of Opposite Sex to finish at today's Rocky Mountain Hound Association show. With that, she finished her championship and may now be styled as Ch. Soyara's Dark Lady at Justart.
It was a long time coming. We get spoiled by our dogs finishing quickly, but Roz came to us out of coat and out of shape. I spent the last two weeks relentlessly working her on the treadmill and that helped her muscling, which improved her movement.

When my wife was in college in Plattsburgh, NY, she was biking with her roommate/friend. Her friend was the reigning Miss New York State (Miss America Pageant). A group of guys from the Air Force base rode by in a car and smacked my wife on the ass. That the guy chose her is a testament to his good taste, though it's kind of a dangerous move.

And I hope Paul Joseph Watson - whom I appreciate- has some way to unwind from doing this political talk.
I can't recall times I was catcalled much as a younger person ( I guess if I was it didn't traumatize me) except for about twenty years ago when I was coming out of a church office and some black guy in parked in truck in the parking lot did that. I wonder what would have been his reaction if I had gone up to his truck and said smiling "I'm the pastor here. How are you doing today" I just ignored it .

The UK and Ireland are a lot like here. Go into a big city, or spend your entire life on twitter talking about it, and it's like an alien planet. What in the hell is wrong with these people? Are we even the same species? How do you live like this?
Get fifteen minutes' drive out of town, and suddenly you can walk down a road, go into a shop or pub or restaurant, talk to a random stranger about nothing and part ways without feeling like you need a shower and some cipro.
It's not age, it's not income level, it's not race, it's not really any of the typical excuses for why "Those People" are so damned awful.
It's Place. Cities attract insanity. Cities incubate insanity. All because Cities can aggregate the money it takes to pay for all that insanity.
With the taxpayer-to-insanity pipeline getting severed in multiple places (USAID, three-letter funding, etc etc), maybe the trend will one day reverse. Who knows.

I expect precious little shakeup until the run up to the General Election.
There's no reason to change anyone in power until the reality of another election is staring them in the face.
Then it becomes, "All the shit we did for 4.5 years? We didn't do it because new guy is our PM."

Never forget that British politics is essentially a game of Thrones done peaceably enough. Starmer is having to fend off his own colleagues in Cabinet that view him as dispensable and an obstacle to their advancement. So tolerating a horrible debacle in the fiscal and a recession usually means the PM throws someone overboard--in this case the Chancellor.
While British politics has become more presidential in the case of the PM and his powers, at the same time, the PM has the vulnerability of being the sacrifice made by colleagues in an unpopular government.
Unless things change, I think Starmer has about 1-2 years left in charge and the excuse will probably be personal scandals rather than poor performance in office.

Yup. I remember right after 9/11 I was at my brothers for one of the holidays. His FIL is one of the dumbest humans to ever walk the earth. He is illiterate, literally, can't count his balls and come up with the same number twice, and completely leftist. I made a comment that would should have nuked the ME and make in uninhabitable for 10,000 years. He starts with his leftist islamic apologist shit and says oh you would kill all those people? I stood up, leaned on the table with both hands, looked him straight in the eye, and said slowly- "I would push that button with my fucking dick, and then go home, turn on the TV, watch it on the news, flick beer caps at the screen, and then giggle my silly ass to sleep". From that day on he learned never to apologize for islam in front of me.

Trends do not continue to the trees and the reason is events. Having wrestled with statistical modeling, you quickly find out that linear relationships are relatively rare in human affairs--the reason is too many variables.

I remember the 1990s version of this argument: "slippery slopes are a logical fallacy!" It's a fine argument, if you ignore that society's elites are actively trying push everyone down that slope, including most well-known "conservatives."
You have to take into account how far the Overton Window has shifted. Normal people have to object to men in women's sports, the idea that men and women are commonsense terms that anyone can readily understand, perverts being introduced to children as supplemental educators. We could go on and on. When conservatism us such a spent force that "let's not literally fuck the children" is an actual issue, you're fighting a rearguard action. All the while, the state and corporations operate hand in hand to make sure no one can effectively disagree or organize.

Regarding the opening photo. I visited England several years ago and while there I visited an American cemetery. Standing and seeing the rows and rows of white crosses and stars of David is a very powerful and moving experience. Walking through and reading names and dates. You come across some where the monument reads " 4 men known only to God", the number will change, but the emotion, the knowledge of the sacrifice. You cannot help but be moved. It imposes a different understanding of those sacrifices that cannot be felt in reading the history or even the personal accounts. The reality becomes much more apparent. The debt we owe all of those brave men becomes much more important. Not sure that,that is quite the right word. It cannot but change you.

A new POLITICO poll shows California voters prefer keeping an independent line-drawing panel to determine the state’s House seats “by nearly a two-to-one margin” (64%) while only “36% of respondents back returning congressional redistricting authority to state lawmakers

Plus, the first steps have to happen within like 3 weeks.

Once that's accomplished, those two groups will fight to the death to determine whether control reverts to the Proletariat or Sharia Law.

I am not a conservative but every trend dies and societal trends tend to run in generations. You can see this with people that like to use drugs---as one drug is shown to be particularly gruesome and horrible, the new generation takes up another drug in response. Heroin chic gives way to cocaine chic which yields to crack and freebase, which leads to meth, and so on.
The reason that generational replacement is a big deal is that over time, the burned hand avoids a particular fire but finds a new way to get burnt.

Besides, Engels left weasel words about the destruction of a State. He equivocated that the "state" was that thing that enforced inequality.
So, if you have an authority that no longer "enforces" oppressing the lower classes, then it's not really what Engels defines as a "state".
So, there you go, an authority that wants to claim that it's not really oppressing anybody can qualify as the "withering away of the state".

Almost all of that is borg oriented people. Individualists learn the old Japanese truism--the standing nail is hammered down.
I am not a big fan of Thomas Jefferson but he was right in calling cities incubators of bad things including society and politics in societies.
That is why he believed that being an artisan and trademan created a type of servility due to the reliance on customers and wanted Americans to be small freeholders.
It is one of the reasons that he did the Louisiana Purchase even though his actions were of dubious constitutionality as he considered it. He wanted the land for new yeoman farmers.

If you really think "California voters" will prevent Gavin's unconstitutional attempt to further gerrymander The Golden State, you need to reconsider the following:
- a couple decades of Motor/Voter voter registrations
- mailing out tens of millions of ballots to non-citizens, voters who's addresses have changed, the dead, nursing homes, etc.
- Drop Boxes used for depositing thousands of ballots
- Massive vote harvesting initiatives that are legal in CA, but outlawed in other states
- CA laws making requiring voter ID's
- Democrat controlled polling places and poll judges
The Democrats can get 51%+ of the "vote" to accomplish anything they want to do. Regardless what "public opinion polls" might indicate.

I predicted at the time that #MeToo would result in women complaining that their male colleagues would keep them at arms length professionally, decline to mentor them and avoid including them in after-work social activities. This prediction has indeed come to pass.

The first nationalists gave us Prohibition as a "national solution" to alcohol abuse.
They also gave us child labor laws, and on the balance that's improved the society we live in, because kids can no longer be hired to stand within the whirring blades of a combine picking out the plant fiber that slowed it down. (Because they "fit")

To be fair, I am told that tactic can be used to remove a victim from a situation which would otherwise be fatal to the victim, when one cannot - for whatever reason - arrest the persons who would cause it to be fatal.
Whether that's what the British police were using it for or not is anyone's guess.

I would not count on them to toss that case out. After all they over ruled 73% of California voters who voted in 2008 to make gay marriage illegal.
And the San Francisco Chronicle put out a searchable map showing the location of every person in California who contributed to the anti-gay marriage campaign, so they could be targeted.

That's an interesting point, and the book walks you through what he could and couldn't do. People seem to think he was an absolute monarch on the lines of France, but in fact, after the Glorious Revolution, his powers were severely curtailed.

{i]“A commitment to ‘never again’ cannot be reconciled with support for the AfD,” Scholz said. “That is why we will not accept outsiders intervening in our democracy, in our elections, in the democratic formation of opinion in favour of this party.”
Just like in 1941 Europe is the biggest external threat to America.
We should have left NATO in 1991, and we should be actively pursuing regime change in most European countries.

It's kind of funny how the UK used two hot white chicks as their "bait" for catcallers. A sufficiently rakish social media wag could probably drag them thoroughly and effortlessly for that.
"Why is this government normalizing such racist and patriarchal beauty standards?"
On the other hand, imagine the sheer hilarity if they used some fat bearded dude with danger hair in jogger-chick clothes, waddling next to some two-hundred-kilo ham-beast in a full niqab.
More, or less hilarious? I don't think I know, to be honest.

Not nationalists, but women and elites. And those of particular religious sects that believe abstinence and avoidance is the way to prevent the masses from sinning. The elites always figured it would not apply to them and women relied on men for wages so Carrie Nation style, they believed banning alcohol would be the stick to improve the behavior of working class males.
Alcohol in many cases was the opium that men used to get through their working day as the factory system used them up.

Gonna push back, because the founders generally eschewed the word "nation", because what is common among us is not *natal*. They preferred "country".
It was the progressive "nationalist" copying the actual nationalism of Europe who birthed "nationalism". And you pay "patriotism" to a country.
"Nationalism" was painted as superior to "mere Patriotism". Because it wasn't love of your country whatever it is, it was believing in national solutions.
It was definitely progressive, emerging in the 19th century.

I wonder if it's due to the Muslims... demanding they not be ostracized or if it's something born out of guilt from the aristocrats running the joint.
Either or. The country's doomed.
It's clearly some sort of multi-national plan. Shootings that led to (calls for) gun bans all suddenly happened in the UK, Australia, and the US around the same time. That can't be a coincidence.

Prohibition was stupidly instituted and stupidly enforced, but it arose from a real social problem. Let's put it this way: I don't think we've ever exceeded the amount of alcohol consumed per capita since its repeal.
Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh
I would agree but it was easier to get a coalition of women, religious sects, and wealthy together to push Prohibition rather than the real need to address problems of the industrial age. Durkheim and his alienation thesis saw the symptoms driving this wagon.
There was also across the seas, the Temperance movement for much of the same reasons. But drug use of any sort can be separated into those that do so out of curiousity, fun, etc. and those that do it out of despair. What might deter the first group won't work for the second.

When one denies one's own nature and rebels against human society, then ugliness results whether internal or external.
Pump and dump leaves a lot of wounded on the field of life because men and women are not the same regarding sexuality. Promiscuous Men pay a different price which is never being able to be satisfied with what is and that destroys those around them if in a relationship or condemns them to a lonely death if not. Women, I think it corrodes the very nature of self and connection to others.

The kicker(s)? Charged with a felony. Also, get this, worked for the DoJ.
"Worked." Now unemployed. And a likely felon.

Think about this - these female officers could be investigating rapes and murders and burglaries.

Sure. But that takes real police work and is dangerous. Much easier and safer to jog around in tights hoping men whistle at you.

Russia has put far fewer people in prison for speech than Britain with four times the population. Might have been best if the USSR had won the cold war.

Either she's raising money for a presidential run for Chelsea, or she's got legal bills ahead of her.
My guess.

It is her nature to seek power and money however she can get it. Consistent through the ages since she came down to Arkansas after marrying Bill.
Shakespearean level villain.

Alcohol brings two things - lots of calories and a pain reliever. Our ancestors did a shit ton of hard labor. They needed booze. Hell, diggers on the Erie Canal were paid in cash, hard booze and beer. Try working beneath your feet day in and day out.

Yep. Easy to store in society and always of value. Anyone that wants to be a survivalists in a Lord of the Flies breakdown had best learn to be a distiller and brewer. They will make out just fine. It is also the reason that Moravians and Mennonites are predominately apolitical farmers and artisans. Their political urban brethren ended up exterminated as threats to the PTB by both Protestant and Catholic princes in the not so Holy Roman Empire.

The vast majority of domestic violence and even regular bar-fight violence is fueled by booze.
Posted by: Elric The Blade at August 14, 2025 12:06 PM (iFTx/)
This is misuse of statistics.
What is the incidence of domestic violence in homes that prefer cocaine or marijuana?
And correlation between bar fights and booze? Why not correlate it to jukeboxes?

I'm not sure if you're joking or not, but there are countless studies very strongly linking alcohol abuse to domestic violence. It's like r = .7 and probably more. Plus, it squares exactly with my own experience.
There is not nearly the correlation for drugs generally. Booze makes a lot of people angry. Coke and weed usually have the opposite effect.

"When one denies one's own nature and rebels against human society, then ugliness results whether internal or external.
Pump and dump leaves a lot of wounded on the field of life because men and women are not the same regarding sexuality. Promiscuous Men pay a different price which is never being able to be satisfied with what is and that destroys those around them if in a relationship or condemns them to a lonely death if not. Women, I think it corrodes the very nature of self and connection to others."
Spot on Whig. I know girls like this, it's almost a Degredation Fetish, like they think they have it coming. Like a debt they think they have to pay to regain their balance

There is a crazy video online of a naked (from the waist down) foreign chap on the Tube: he kept yelling "F-- off!" as the Englishmen on the train were yelling at him to put his pants on; there were women and children in the train.
Finally, at the next stop, they wrestled him off the train and had him prostrate on the platform, and they called the police.
The police are prosecuting the Englishmen who stepped up to protect the women and children -- because of course they did.
