The hour is late for “Joe Biden.” His sojourn in America’s highest office was one long twilight of pretending to be effectual, or merely present, and now even that abject pantomime slips into a place of nullity, where all is still and dark. What does he do these languorous weekends at the fabled Delaware beach house? Stare out at the empty Atlantic horizon over an uneaten egg salad sandwich with the crusts cut off? Does he even suspect that the world is already turning without him?
The pressure is mounting for some group of somebodies to arrange his exit from the scene. Of course, there is no public discussion of that among the somebodies because everything they have been doing for years happens sub rosa, in addition to being of dubious legality. Despite the most formidable praetorian protections — a depraved justice department, a Gestapo-caliber FBI, a debauched news media — the arrows of culpability are flying clean through the beach house windows at that immobilized figure sitting in the crepuscular gloom.
Forgive me for bringing this up, but remember the first impeachment of Mr. Trump on the grounds of a phone call to freshly-minted President Z in Ukraine pertaining to some fishy matters around the Burisma gas company? Yes, Mr. T was impeached over a mere inquiry into possible misconduct by a former high US official (being one “Joe Biden,” ex-veep) and his bag-man son. The setup was patently obvious even to us bloggers who enjoy no intimate correspondence with organelles of the DC Blob. A CIA spook “whistleblower” named Eric Ciaramella (sssshhhh) was injected into the scene with help from the devious Col. Vindman at NSA and an assist from Intel Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson… and voila! Recall the solemn pageantry of Nancy Pelosi’s march across the Capitol rotunda with the hallowed bill of impeachment on a satin pillow….
And now, more than three years later, the nation is informed of all the particulars around those Burisma Company’s doings with the Biden family in granular detail ($5-million plus $5-million), laying out just one instance of treasonous moneygrubbing by this family among many grifts in other nations. And in case of any lingering questions — if the news media were not a pseudopod of the Blob — a long roster of bank transfer records has been assembled by Rep. Comer of the House Oversight Committee to validate the deal memos, emails and audio recordings already available for inspection in the alt.news.
You realize, don’t you, that the DOJ and the FBI had all of this info (a.k.a evidence) in its possession even before Trump impeachment number one? AG William Barr and FBI Director Wray could have stepped up at any time after October, 2019, and said, “Oh, here’s what that phone call to Z was about.” That they didn’t is arguably the most blatant crime among scores of crimes committed by the Blob in the Trump and post-Trump years.
Federal Justice Manual 9-5.000, Section B: Constitutional obligation to ensure a fair trial and disclose material exculpatory and impeachment evidence. Government disclosure of material exculpatory and impeachment evidence is part of the constitutional guarantee to a fair trial. Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83, 87 (1963). The law requires the disclosure of exculpatory and impeachment evidence when such evidence is material to guilt or punishment.”
So now the Blob is desperate to jettison this embodiment of its corruption and lawlessness, “Joe Biden,” before the Trump-deranged masses start paying attention to the distant yelling from the asteroid belt of actual news beyond noisy Planet MSNBC. The Blob will be fighting for its very life anyway. The Ukraine operation is not proceeding according to plan. Do you know why? Answer: because it was a stupid plan concocted by purblind Neocon idiots. Russia has been insulted to the degree that it deems America unworthy of negotiation — meaning Russia will bring the Ukraine mess to a conclusion on its terms. They will take care to do it gingerly, so as not to further inflame the psychosis afflicting America and tempt us into even grosser stupidities. Namely, they will insist on a neutral Ukraine with no foreign operators in it and some rearrangement of Ukraine’s borders. America will have to lump it. The Blob Neocon faction will blame the whole lamentable affair on “Joe Biden,” who, by then, will be gone from the White House.
How does that happen? The 25th Amendment, since we are now at the point where his infirmity is as hard to ignore as the evidence of his crimes. How the Blob deals with his successor, the distressing Ms. Harris, is another bridge to cross. The switcheroo itself may be enough to tank the financial markets, which will give the restive nation something else to think about: the personal ruin of every household in the land. Then, things get really interesting.

In April, 2023, Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) Kathie Breault was indicted in the Eastern States District Federal Court for “Conspiracy to Defraud the United States” for giving vaccination cards to people who did not receive Covid-19 vaccinations. Her defense is that the vaccinations were ineffective and harmful, and to administer them would violate the Hippocratic oath of health professionals (First do no harm). Her legal battle against a dishonest and vindictive federal government will require lawyer’s fees that exceed her ability to pay — a reminder that “the process is the punishment.”
Kathie has also been accused of “professional misconduct” by the New York State Licensing Board for prescribing Ivermectin via telehealth visits in July 2021. Many other medical practitioners across the United States have been similarly persecuted and some have lost their licenses to practice. Kathie has been under investigation by New York’s Office of Professional Discipline since March 2022. No decision has been reached as of May 2023.

Greetings,
I do not believe Biden is going anywhere. To jettison him off the stage would be to admit that the stolen election and the destruction of the Republic were for nothing. That their fortification of the election ended in disaster.
Biden isn’t going anywhere and all of these crimes will but garner a stern letter from the Republicans.
Watch, you’ll see. Now, on with Climate Change!
He can probably stay on stage indefinitely.

Yes, I have no faith in the “Republican House” led by McCarthy. One of his more enthusiastic lieutenants, Margarine Tailored Gangrene, engaged in a ridiculous vulgar exercise in showing Hunter Biden’s “dick pics” from his laptop in that hearing.
As I said yesterday, this reminds me of how the “patriotic Republicans” decided to impeach Bill Clinton for lying about his affair with Mizz Lewinski rather than explore his efforts in transferring US booster rocket technology to China, among other treasonous crimes. (Crimes that had the approval of the “Blob”, no doubt. The agenda always marches on….)
The impeachment of Clinton over a sexual affair just served to raise Slick Willie’s approval rating. Mission accomplished. The “Blob’s” agenda remained underground from most of the public.
It looks like the same kind of fix is in with the Bidens.
Ms. Gangrene could’ve hit Hunter hard with the evidence of his helping Daddy get rich through Burisma, as well as his own enrichment. But no, let’s look at his dick in an IRS hearing instead. And drone on and on about how he paid for some whore’s airline ticket to fly to where he was so he could line coke on her tits and fuck her. Most American men are jealous, sadly. Hunter’s ratings may go up too now.
I see now why the Freedom Caucus kicked this whore out. IT wasn’t just because she called Boebert a “bitch”. The real issues run deeper. She’s a sellout whore.
Mick – don’t sugar coat it, tell us how you really feel about MTG.
I think I did.
…and I think you’re correct, Mick.
MTG, at the direction of Trump, lobbied hard for McCarthy to get the speakership which led to giving away any leverage over the budget deal.
So Trump used MTG to once again sell out the country.
The dick pics are probably the last time she saw one….
Evidence of treasonous crimes in front of her and she focuses on the salaciously irrelevant…
I’ve made it clear to “Mick” that stupid name puns are not allowed here. They reflect poorly on the blog.
–JHK Admin
@JHK I apologize if I offended by repeating the primitive rhyme!
My apologies. I get carried away too often. I developed bad commenting habits years ago on a very low to no moderated forum. A free for all “thunderdome” kind of place.
Thanks for that. Name puns distract from the argument, if there is any.
Michael Savage became a billionaire partly by way of such clever (or not) puns.
Oops.
I apologize for calling our current Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, “Cookies Nooland” when her name is clearly “Victoria Nuland”. At least it was, after she changed it to that from the name she formerly went by, which was “Victoria Noodleman”. Or was that “Victoria Noodlewoman”?
Regardless of what name she goes by, she is a warmonger extroidinaire.
Thanks.
The stupid names are annoying and distracting.
Yes, and Islander you are annoying and distracting. Mostly due to your inane dumbness and sophistry filled screeds.
But thanks for your virtue signaling. We all know that you’re as pure as the wind driven snow. Did you bring Jim a shiny apple too?
(You’re that kid in elementary school that the guys wanted to hit in the face with the dodge ball, weren’t you?)
So that means “the Golden Golem of Greatness” shall henceforth be known by the simple title Mr Trump?
According to Wikipedia, it was Victoria Nuland’s father that changed his surname to Nuland. Shepsel became Sherwin, Ber became Bernard and Nudelman became Nuland. Given the discrimination that American Jews faced for much of the 20th century, it was not surprising that more than a few anglicized their names. Belle Silverman became Beverly Sills, who, at the peak of her career, was a famous operatic soprano.
@JHK
“Golden Golem of Greatness”
What is good for the goose is good for the gander?
“Golden Golem of Greatness”
That’s antonomasia. Not a pun.
Is that anything like “autoerotica”?
Ever think that she may have felt that “shock” therapy is the only way to cut through the Mob fog? The fight for Constitutionality is going to be long dirty and violent.
John, That is one possibility.
It is also possible that she doesn’t have the mental furniture—or staff with the mental furniture—to grasp the details of and present, cogently, a bill of particulars concerning The Little Guy’s financial crimes and Ukraine-based (and China based) grifting.
RFK (gray-matter speaking) she is not!
So she goes for what she does understand—that The Little Guy is a creep and a ne’er-do-well. Possibly she was able to put it across that Hunter’s “life style” is funded by the taxpayers.
Just a thought.
I haven’t invested any time in observing MTG. Maybe she really is doing a “look here—not there” act.
She cheated on her husband repeatedly.
What does it matter? People used to know that immorality in one area (lying and cheating) corresponded highly with lying and cheating in other areas. And the rationalizations for the various forms of lying and cheating lead to a darkened intellect in general.
Me thinks the “fight for Constitutionality” is a ship that’s already sailed beyond the horizon. IMHO the UNIPARTY that pretends to run things is the largest collection of political eunuchs in our nation’s history. It’s why, after all is said and done, we are going to have to reinvent a new form of federal government within the next 10 years….
I have often wondered how any of these members of Congress and other branches of government can take their oaths to The Constitution with straight faces. Maybe they are thinking during the oath: “Except for this and that and the other”?
She has her own issues for sure. Taken the ticket no doubt. However she could have really riled things up by posting a picture of H banging his 14 yr old niece. She was no more than 10 feet away from Joe during public appearamces that election campaign probably to protect her from a free lance reporter that might have asked some pretty interesting questions.
Look at their issues with their dog behavior. A pure reflection of the family. Stay clear.
We wouldn’t want every Republican in Congress to be an MTG. But it’s good to have a few to point out the depravity of the Biden crime family – whether that’s bribes or drugs, hookers, incest, etc.
What is wrong, so out there, about her?
She publishes pictures of “man parts”? Actually, a tame hobby these days
She probably enjoyed doing that research and looking at pics of Hunter’s dick. By getting them added to the Congressional Record now she has the ability to take a loosie at them whenever she feels like it!
Just curious. How often do first family genitalia pictures make it into the Congressional Record?
I assume loosie = looksie
Yes, you are correct. Thank you.
If so, I’m going with look-see.
That women enjoy looking at pics of men’s junk is a fantasy concocted by men.
I really don’t know any women who like to do that.
So, since you don’t know any that means ipso facto it must be everyone’s reality?
Plenty of women enjoy watching porn, looking at dick pics they just might not enjoy getting the random ones sent unsolicited.
benr – you know this how?
I’ve heard for years that women were less aroused by visual material than men. Although there are individual exceptions.
Porn is not real life, benr.
It’s acting.
@mq
Life is full of acting!

A series of acting jobs.
@Ron
I talk to women including the one I have been married to for over thirty years…gasp!
@ MaryQueen:
Yup. Women have no interest in looking at men’s junk. Nor do women go in for porn. (My guess is that the only women who view porn are those who have a professional interest in it.)
Actually, women don’t even go in for “beefcake”–as the publishers of Playgirl magazine learned back in the 70s. They found that their readership consisted of gay men, and not women.
You’d be surprised how many of the voting lemmings don’t know about Clinton’s sale of missile technology to China for campaign contributions.
And then Hillary and Uranium 1. And they’re still walking around collecting pensions!
That’s just the chump change.
Mick, if you ever need to massively vent your spleen again… wouldn’t you think that maybe your bile could be spewed at a more deserving target?
Biden, Hunter, any of his malignant, corrupt, incompetent Cabinet members? ANY seditious, ESG/woke/anti-Trump Dem in congress?
Which Dem do you find more palatable than MTG? Yes, she is flawed… but strongly supports MAGA and America… her focus on Hunter’s child-trafficking for sex, across state line is worthy… many scumbags have received decades in prison for the same.
“Treason” is probably accurate, but a bridge too far, with our corrupt DOJ and an equally corrupt Dem-controlled Senate.
So chillax, change your panties, and fire on the enemy, not a sometimes goofy ally.
PS: Did the naked Hunter pics give you wood?
Absolutely correct, IMHO.
You mean a “sternly worded letter.”
“They” are forward looking and will jettison whomever threatens their interests. They can justify however they wish as they have proved time and time again and get away with it.
I agree. Biden is obedient, and as long as he obeys, he can stay where he is. Kamala might be a loose cannon.
“How the Blob deals with his successor, the distressing Ms. Harris, is another bridge to cross.”
Maybe Congress can just ignore him, viz. President Andrew Johnson.

Heroin fueled madness or prophesy?
IF they get rid of Biden (a big if), it will be to replace him with another, more pure zealot. They can control Biden because he’s old, he’s vain (he thinks he’s another FDR), he’s stupid (one of those stacks of bricks used by Antifa to smash windows and assault cops is orders of magnitude brighter than Biden), and he’s corrupt, even by Washington, DC standards. If he goes away, they’ll replace him with Newsom, RFK Jr., or some other leftist nutjob who believes global warming is both horrendous and entirely created by white Americans. That’s the string the WEF and its allies are pulling to collapse the West, and especially America, and that’s because that’s Klaus Schwab’s pet cause. Panic the masses with threats of imminent destruction, promise safety if they’ll only surrender their freedom, harp on the dangers long enough and loudly enough, and grab power. It worked with Russia, it worked in Italy, and it *really* worked in late Weimar Germany. And, sadly, it seems to be working here.
The most distressing part is that the Powers That Be already knew about the monkey-business going on behind the scenes. I wonder if Mitt Romney will come out now and apologize to Trump for voting for impeachment???
(Oh, I was just being silly. Of course, he won’t.)
If an actual investigation we should expect according to our laws actually takes place (I know, I know…) then the obsequious Mr Mitt will be looking for a rug to hide under as at least one of his sons was involved in this gold rush of pilfering along with the Democrat bad boy gang.
Does Heinz Jr. have a finger in the pot?
Snopes said no, but they also said they found no evidence of wrongdoing by Hunter or Joe.
I’ve not much experience with Snopes.
Appeared to have high potential for controlled opposition (or something similar), thus it never crosses my mind.
What opinion of Snopes might you maintain?
My opinion was “How do they know?” and as it turns out, they didn’t; just as I’d suspected.
Thanks 🙂
Snopes is a deep state lying apparatus.
The first I ever heard of Snopes was from someone telling me I was a legend in my own time–an urban one at that! Due to my electrosensitivity, I don’t even live in a city.
That was quite an introduction to that august source of authoritarian, sorry, authoritative wisdom!
Because Snopes is operated by a socialist couple who wouldn’t know the truth if it bit them in the ass.
IIRC, he was a partner of Hunter, but it dissolved before the Ukraine grift. I don’t know what other grifts they did together.
Looks like he backed out of the deal.

”—Senator [Ron] Johnson, Senator [Chuck] Grassley’s Committee in 2020—which, out of the 87 pages of the committee report, 27 pages are on my evidence and my email communications with the White House, with Blue Star, and what I went through at that time, and what I could provide openly to the Senate at that time, because they tried to subpoena me so I could provide more evidence which was under contract. But Senator [Mitt] Romney blocked the subpoena in the Senate committee, and they didn’t get enough votes to subpoena me and to bring me in officially. So that’s where I am today and why I’m sanctioned.”

HAH!! Bishop Willard Romney believes himself to be the fulfillment of the White Horse Prophecy, wherein a Mormon leader (guess who?) will save America when a constitutional crisis threatens to destroy the country. I voted for that tool once, and I’ll never make that mistake again.
Why does Biden have to go away? He may be unfit to be president, but he is still fit for purpose, especially when you consider that 50% of the population doesn’t know which bathroom to use and thinks that a man can give birth. Joe Biden ain’t going anywhere, and we are going with him…unless and until we do something about it.
This is my thought too. I love JHKs witty writing style here, but he keeps predicting things that seem to have almost zero chance of happening, like a mass-awakening to the propaganda agenda of media or the corrupt elites being held accountable and brought to justice for their endless perfidity and lies. No, the destruction of Western Civ show will go on without end, because the overwhelming majority of our fellow citizens still refuse to look behind the curtain, even when given glimpses of the charade via the censorship hearings.
As I’ve said before, why would most people want to know of the ruling class’s perfidy, when doing so might cause them to realize they helped install the bastards in office? Moreover, if you see and comprehend the enormity of modern American fascism and then try to act against it, your life and the lives of your family and friends will be ruined. No, the safe play — and all anyone gives a flying fuck about anymore is safety and convenience — is to just turn a blind eye if possible and go along with the corruption; that way, nobody can blame you for bad things, you can deny knowledge (and therefore responsibility) of what’s happening, and you might actually get a little extra money or other reward for keeping quiet. So yeah, we know that backstabbing, arrogant bitch CBS anchor, Norah O’Donnell, and her colleagues are gaslighting us, but we won’t do a damn thing about it because we might lose something if we do.
@Lizharmon
The DNC would have to look long and hard among their constituency to find a “leader” more representative than sniffer Joe. After all, 51% have to search through their fleece every morning to determine if they still have balls or have been “corrected” during the night while they slept.
Oh, and meanwhile, did anybody else notice that the “Arsenal of Democracy” during World War II, can no longer manufacture a Craftsman wrench???
The Neocons and NeverTrumpers tended to overlap heavily with the so-called conservatives who kept telling Americans that we benefitted from cheap consumer goods, such as single-use wrenches.
I have actually talked with men who use tools for a living, and they disagree.
They even hang on to tools from generation to generation.
Yes.
And many craftsmen fashioned their own tools because they needed one for a particular task.
And the same people will defend this corrupt form of Capitalism because – wait for it – it’s Capitalism!
The poor schmucks identify with the rich because they want to be rich. Tens of million of utter losers.
I saw that. $90 million later and there’s nothing but an empty manufacturing facility in Texas.
Wrench? How bout the (game-changing) Hypersonic Missiles that Russia seems capable of producing (the US “Defense” industry can’t)? While, at the same time, churning out limitless conventional ammo (artillery shells, particularly). All while spending 8 Cents on the US “Defense” dollar! Will this wake the US public up to the Reality that our $800 billion+ War budget (which, of course, can NOT pass an audit) is a Bi-partisan Robbery?
Rudy – on military spending, the $800 billion is distorted. It’s not value. The US (taxpayer) spends $22,000 for a $17 hammer, while Russia spends $17 for a $17 hammer. See how that works?
Ron, get it.
The Deep State destroys the manufacturing sector but tries to keep it going by paying exorbitant prices for war goods.
Jarek, identifying the connection between the elitist corporate world and the government, has pointed out one of the economy destroyers, the main one.
Yes, but you think that getting essentially getting rid of the government and letting these Scum have a free hand will solve the issue. And that’s just utterly bizarre.
Adam Smith was wrong. The Market cannot protect us from Corporate collusion. There has to be referees in charge who are above the game. That’s the Government.
Jarek
The government is not a benign purveyor of goodness that will regulate crony capitalism. Government is evil, a sink point for evil power agents. Government needs to be controlled, probably more so than corporations.
Government creates elitism and cronyism. Government will never be the answer.
Problem is, there is no other pathway available to control the cronyism, is there.
Therefore, we are screwed. Reality now shows that fact. In history, the end result of the public getting screwed is the overthrow of government.
Government is not the solution. Government is the problem. –
Ronald Reagan
Thus conservatism is simply a sink, a dirty canal filled with bilge water, useful only to mosquitoes.
It is a conundrum, Jarek.
Crony capitalism can’t exist to any meaningful degree without government effectively creating and enforcing it.
Sure, the guy who owns your town’s hardware store may hire his brother or his girlfriend instead of hiring you. But, 1) it is his money (as opposed to taxpayer’s money), and 2) if this choice turns out to be poor judgement, he will pay the price out of his own pocket. If his brother or his girlfriend are poor employees or steal from the company or some such, his competitors will eat his lunch.
With a crony-capitalist government beneficiary type of company, it’s not his money that is being spent or staked, it’s YOUR money. If he hires incompetent or dishonest people, it’s with your money. If his product costs more because of this, you pay the extra cost. Further, government-subsidized entities (like the public school system or health care) effectively become monopolies. You are forced to pay for them whether you use their product/service or not, you pay the excessively high costs caused by monopolies, and–if you are free to choose an alternative or competing provider–you pay twice. Often no meaningful alternative is available because they have been priced out of the market, regulated to as to be almost identical to the the government-monopolists’ product, or even because alternatives have been outlawed.
The free-market capitalist cannot create a monopoly without government support. If he engages in cronyism, he’ll pay the price, if it was a poor decision, and may go out of business. On the other hand, maybe it was a good decision to hire his brother–in which case he’ll reap the benefits. The main thing, though, is he does whatever his does with HIS money, not yours. And he’s entitled to spend his own money as he sees fit.
Your local school district, on the other hand, is spending YOUR money to hire friends and relatives. And if those friends and relatives turn out to be slackers, incompetents, thieves, or child-molestors, no one will ever be held accountable, and the school district need not fear going out of business or losing funding. You are FORCED to pay them at the point of a gun. You can’t take your money and go to a competitor for educational services.
Black budget items don’t pay for themselves, you know.
This. One dollar for the puppet, one thousand for the puppet masters.
“There has to be referees in charge who are above the game. That’s the Government.”
The history of these agencies is they become captured.
Somewhere in his volume on Fauci RFKjr mentioned the EPA was targeted by him in about 25% of the lawsuits filed to clean up the Hudson River.
From agriculture—SE Asian Golden Triangle-Afghanistan poppy fields.
Bolivia, Peru, etc—Coca fields.
InQTel—Homegrown venture capital investment arm.
Gun running—hither and yon.
And who knows what else…
This puts their air arm in the ‘black’ because backhauls.
So you might be contested on that basis.
Yes, Ron, we are in complete agreement. $17 for a $17 hammer is legitimate War spending (no need for euphemisms, like “defense”) However, $22,000 for a hammer (actually, a “multi-directional inertia-enhanced impact driver”) is Robbery. It is one of the operations run by the Dem/Repub Uniparty, who are robbing the bottom 90%. Also, the Ukraine war, the “Health Care system, “higher” education (its cost rising 5 X faster than inflation)… anything the bottom 90% need, just as they LOSE 20% of their share of the national income since 1973.
Rudy – you’re firing on all 8 cylinders – yes, it’s bad enough when pricing of non-essential or discretionary spending items is predatory, but when essential or needed items are intentionally priced in a predatory fashion, it’s a different brand of evil.
“This Ukraine operation isn’t going according to plans.”
That’s probably the most important sentence in this blog. The Spring Counteroffensive, delusional to begin with, has turned into a bloody disaster. A whole generation of Ukrainian young people are being wiped out, and for what? It reminds one of the Wehrmacht continuing to fight in the Spring of 1945. The City of Odessa is being destroyed ~ the longer this war continues the worse it will get. Last week President Biden announced he will ship long range missiles to Ukraine, missiles that can reach Moscow. My non-professional prediction is if US provided missiles begin raining down on Moscow, armageddon will be triggered, and it will be lights out for Kiev, Brussels, and maybe DC.
“it will be lights out for Kiev, Brussels, and maybe DC” A few high altitude nuke blasts over the USA and that will be lights out for the entire country.
It only takes one EMP warhead being detonated high above Kansas to reduce every North American to a pre-industrial existence.
If DC and it’s suburbs disappeared in a fireball, would the average American be better or worse off? I weigh the pros and cons, and conclude I’m not sure. But it’s an intriguing thought.
My husband and I were just discussing this very thing this morning, how much better off the country would be if a tactical nuke detonated over the colored house.
The fact that we have such thoughts shows how the federal Orwellian dystopia is not loved by the people living under it’s hobnailed boots.
The intriguing part is that the disappearance of DC wpi;d create a power vacuum that would be filled, probably more or less locally, by whoever was at hand in that place and time–and had the guns to back it up.
What kind of people would they be?
Welp, based on my knowledge of the east coast in its northerly areas, It would be people almost as distasteful as those who infest DC. Maybe worse. The region is heavily infested with diverse groups, all of which are very tribal, and each of which would seek to seize power over the others, and this not even for the advantage of their own “tribe,” but for themselves only.
We here in the hinterlands have plenty of our own home-grown crooks and grifters, and there would be a scuffle for power–hopefully with more chance for the decent, liberty and community-minded people to come out on top. But there are no guarantees anywhere.
No matter where you are, the people who are currently in power will not voluntarily start doing their own wash and butchering their own pigs–or even raising pigs. Their plan will be to steal yours.
brh – Going back, if I may, to our brief exchange on a previous thread, regarding Agenda 2030 and habitability of older homes, Stage 1 of the dispossession agenda has begun here, with our First Minister’ considering’ (yeah, right) making it illegal to sell homes with gas boilers. (Stage 2, I strongly assert, will be to declare them uninhabitable, with services being cut off and owners evicted.)
Half of households in my city live in Victorian/Georgian tenements which are not retrofittable with heat pumps.

Personally, I’d choose to live in my flat with lots of warm jumpers and eschew central heating, if the alternative was to be evicted, but I’m guessing that won’t be an option.

It looks like losing and election may have concentrated a few minds.
Is there any potential for political organizing in Edinburgh to throw a wrench in this mania?
Islander – Yes, that is good news, but I can’t believe our overlords didn’t guess there would be pushback of this sort.
I can’t see them just rolling over and saying, ok you win, we’ll stop the agenda. Interesting, though, that people will push back more when it’s to do with cars than even when it’s mandated injections!
I’m horrified (although hardly surprised, because I said on here that it would happen) about the coming non-saleability of unretrofitted homes. My younger daughter bought her first flat (lovely top-floor Victorian tenement flat) about a year or so ago. She put all her savings into it and took out a large mortgage. One way or another, she’s going to lose it. It will have no value and she’s stuck with over £200K of debt. Just what Professor Klaus ordered.
They’ll try it again, they were just testing the water.
Squeeze and release, ’til you get your way.
It’s a well-known tactic.
In the 1940s Soviet espionage used purloined info to create an exact duplicate of the original US A-bomb down to its SAE specs (as opposed to metric ones). They sent operatives to the largest Sears store to buy truckloads of Craftsman tools to ship back to the USSR to facilitate the work.
Now I am beginning to understand how Russia has had its defense priorities straighter than the U.S. Ahead of us at every step with the space race (okay, except for “the moon landings”) and obviously they were prepared for the Ukraine debacle. No ISS without Russia!
Ukraine will be the biggest black eye for the Neocons, especially with so many young Ukrainians killed. And all because no one in the Biden administration understands diplomacy. I’d hate to be Blinken right now.
The meaning of sordid is ours to contemplate in its fullest sense.
These vile cretins so callous in all and everything they do so long as the consequences fall on others.
And they think we don’t see them?
They don’t care if we see them. They just don’t think they’ll ever suffer any consequences for their actions. Of course, they’re wrong.
“Of course, they’re wrong.” ~ tuco22
Amen.
We see them, but there is a large percentage of the population with their eyes tightly closed and their hands over their ears.
They’re fodder for the slaughter.
This:
“The meaning of sordid is ours to contemplate in its fullest sense.”
I have mixed thoughts about Mr. Ramaswamy, but he certainly is articulate.
“Stare out at the empty Atlantic horizon over an uneaten egg salad sandwich with the crusts cut off?”
Perfect image, but I’ve added “in a diaper” to it in my mind.
That would be larding the lily — JHK Admin
Adding “in a diaper” to anything “Joe Biden” does is the perfect sentiment for the past 22 years
They made everyone do everything in a diaper for three years.
Touché
JHK knows where to stop.
No side of diapers needed with the egg-salad sandwich with the crusts cut off.
I can picture it!
Wonder Bread.
Don’t forget the side of vanilla ice cream for dessert.
Almost makes you feel sorry for him, doesn’t it?
Not even close.
I love the “with the crusts cut off” part.
Gilding
Gelding!
And implanted hair, and strong doses of whatever meth they inject him with, and a sordid history of corruption, both monetary-political and moral-sexual.
I know people that are convinced this is a vast improvement on Trump.
In quotation marks, of course. “JB.” He’s Ronald McDonald, not the guy who runs the vile outfit.
Saw video of JB in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian in SWFL, talking to, I believe, the mayor of Ft. Myers, saying “Nobody fucks with a Biden”, plain as day, the video is out there – he fancies himself such a tough guy.
I would throat punch him so hard, I’d crush his trachea, and as I watched him gasp for his last breath, say, “Say that again?”. Just kidding, I’m not that kind of guy.
It’s not all that long ago that *we* thought William Barr was acting honestly to see Justice done. That he brought in Durham, who must be the most pedantic fellow sporting such a cowboy moustache ever to flame out with nary a whimper, only adds chili flavoured anusol wipes to this whole affair.
“It’s not all that long ago that *we* thought William Barr was acting honestly to see Justice done. ”
We hoped, anyway . . .
Despite his bizarre connection to Epstein and the Deep State.
Barr’s metaphoric fingerprints were all over Epstein’s throat. I just wonder it Trump signed off on it.
He has a wonderful face. The face of a good father, husband, and brother. A reliable man, loyal to his own and terrible to their enemies. We’re his enemies. His own are the American Elite.
I don’t see how anyone ever thought Barr was anything but a deep state con.
Jarek’s right – it was the face. Both the face and the manner reminded me of my grandfather, a man who actually deserved the trust we put in the duplicitous Barr. I still look at him and wonder how he can be what he is.
The bagpipes!
https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2019/06/27/02/15307892-0-image-a-49_1561599948202.jpg
Imagine him on the witness stand. Every prosecutor’s nightmare. Both likeable and unflappable. An affable stone.
Jarek can write a powerful line now and then:
“A reliable man, loyal to his own and terrible to their enemies. We’re his enemies.”
Some of us root for him using his powers for love and for good, and not for those thirsty of torture and murder of “the other.”
Morning Jim – excellent as always. Thanks as always.
Crepuscular – informed of the meaning a few weeks ago, by my 19-year-old Salutatorian son headed to UF this fall with a GPA north of 4.7 – proof my wife has been unfaithful.
So only the second time I’ve heard it. Thanks for the continual education. Hope the homestead is holding up under the summer heat.
Congrats RA. You should be proud ~ young people seem to have the entire rotten culture working against them and it’s good to see a success now and then.
Yes, congratulations to RA. I must add that my grandson just graduated as Valedictorian. His best friend was Salutatorian.
cbeard – thank you, congratulations to you as well. You’ve obviously passed your wisdom down. We’ll get back to meritocracy someday, I hope. Until then, make sure he still competes – no matter how slanted the new rules are.
Thanks BRH, much appreciated – speaking of rotten culture, UF, some call the “Harvard of the South”, claiming a Top 5 standing in institutions of higher learning, has gone well woke.
My son is a staunch conservative, a competitor, believing in merit, so he’ll be swimming upstream. He’s 4G UF – a great grandfather, a grandfather & great uncle, myself & my brother – all graduates. Much has changed – structurally.
The freshman orientation was grueling with presentations & breakout sessions on different topics about the university. From the PowerPoint presentations, pictures of which usually had three students, one would guess that the enrollment is either 33% black or 67% black.
In additional virtue signaling, almost all student speakers were foreign students. A Belgian student with broken English, addressing a thousand people in an auditorium.
We get it. We welcome students from Belgium – but what kind of management decision has a speaker uncomfortable with his English, addressing an audience who can barely understand him? A lose-lose. They’ve got some higher learning to do alright. Thanks again BRH.
Paternity fraud is huge. If the truth were known, marriage as an institution would already be over or the law changed, mandating genetic testing of every newborn.
Where do you come up with this insanity, Jarek? Please tell me this is all an act and you don’t actually believe what you post here.
There’s a number certain groups like to throw out, a claim that X percentage of babies born in wedlock do not belong to the legal father.
I’m not sure how they arrive at it, usually it’s something like “a friend of my cousin works in a lab and he says…”
I’m pretty sure that a high number of requests for paternity tests due turn out to prove that the husband is not the father, but that would be skewed by the fact that the only time someone pays for such a test is when it’s in doubt in the first place.
This is why we got so many people to fall for the “safe and effective” vaxx, among other fallacies.
Nobody stops to think, “how do they know?”
They just assume that “the experts” do know and don’t lie.
BTW going back to Scott Atlas’ book, he is full of praise for one governor, and that governor is Ron DeSantis.
Ron actually did his own reading, only speaking with Dr. Atlas to ask him whether his conclusions were correct. He also called Deborah Birx directly, and got it out of her that there was NO scientific basis for any of her “guidelines”. None at all.
We are seeing a lot of DeSantis bashing from the pro-Trump side, but Ron the presidential candidate is Trump’s creation.
RFK Jr. the presidential candidate is to a large degree Trump’s creation as well.
I read Scott Atlas’ book on your recommendation and was impressed with his attempt to base pandemic decisions on common sense and good medical practice. DeSantis seems to me to have a backbone and I remember how he was attacked for following Atlas’ advice and was called Deathsantis. Trump needs to stop the smears and name calling and do what’s best for our country.
Apparently there is a documentary floating around detailing DeSantis’ crimes at Gitmo while an officer.
Gulp.
Interesting phrasing, Abby. So those are DeSantis’ crimes, not the crimes of the military command, the Pentagon, the President, and everyone responsible for administering Gitmo.
If he did anything in violation of the orders from above, tell us about it.
SW,
“Where do you come up with this insanity, Jarek?” I read an article some time ago about a study that was done sometime in the 50’s or 60’s. I forget what the purpose of the study was, but part of the findings, that had nothing to do with the study so were not published, was that a LOT of the fathers were not the biological father of the children in question. And this was back during more puritanical times where infidelity was thought to be rather low. Culturally we see the man as the likely philanderer. While women are kind of absolved of any need to be observed for similar behavior. Why? Well because there’re women, moms, etc. Pure and in control of themselves. It has allowed women to hide in plain sight.
Culturally we see the man as the likely philanderer.
People seem to forget the obvious fact that in every marital infidelity there are two philanderers, one from within and one from without. The “one from without” is usually also the “one from within” in another relationship. The odds of cheating have nothing to do with being men or women, as it (well, usually) takes one of each…it’s just two people making selfish choices.
@ SW:
Jarek has no contact with the real world. He has no friends, no social life, and no job, and probably rarely leaves the house. He gets his ideas about life from reading blogs run by incels and predatory attorneys. He is too dumb to realize that it is predatory attorneys promote this stuff, as it is their bread and butter. And, as is the case with most incels, his ego requires him to think that the reason women shun him is because women are bad people. Actually, at least in Jarek’s case, it is because he is unable to engage with people in the real world (probably due to being “on the spectrum”). That, and being unsuited to assume adult male responsibilities, perhaps the foremost of which would be holding job.
But, as I have mentioned before, I suspect he has a disability of some kind–mental, physical, or both. No one who was mentally and physically healthy would live as he does. Actually, neither would many disabled people, as they often have too much self-respect.
I forgot to mention the porn. Much of Jarek’s “information” about women probably comes from watching porn.
In fact, his careful study and meticulous record keeping with regards to this material has revealed to him that 50% of women have sex with animals. (Could have something to do with his choice of porn.)
Actually, one of my relatives long maintained that one of his three children by an old girlfriend was not his. A later paternity test revealed that she was. There was actually some reason to believe that she might not have been his.
However, as another relative quipped, “If she’s not married to him, obiously, she can date anyone she wants.”
What about paternity fraud? Pretty funny, right? Just like men having to choose between paying their alimony or buying the medicine they need. Courts don’t like to reduce alimony for jobless men you see.
Probably because family courts are controlled by women.
The low estimate of paternity fraud is a whopping ten percent.
You are are a naif it would seem.
Paternity fraud is the price men pay for not being able to gestate babies. Thank goodness for men that it is not all that common.
Paternity fraud is yet another reason men need to have their own babies. Thank goodness we live in a woke era when that’s possible.
Mocking the problem because it’s a problem for men.
Despicable.
Jarek, it’s been the same problem for countless millennia: nothing new about cuckolding. So why get so upset and humorless about it?
Muller, it’s been the same problem for countless millenia: nothing new about female rape. Why get so upset and humorless about it?
Now do you see the extent and degree of your programming? Woman’s problems are of the utmost importance? Men’s matter not at all – except to comedians.
Ron’s sweet, self-deprecating little joke.
Pounded into the ground by Jarek’s humorless, literal nail-seeking hammer.
Women are never self-deprecating. I guess they’re not very sweet. So why should we be?
Now she loves Reagan!
Islander & Paula – thanks for the support, but I learned way too late in life to always go straight to intent. The amount of friction & misunderstanding it eliminates is so vast, it’s hard to quantify.
Janos’s intent wasn’t in any way directed at me personally & he had no intent to piss on my parade. He has a lot of axes to grind, as many of us do, and my joke just gave him a good segue that’s all.
No harm – no foul.
True, Ron. Although it was an awkward segue, it did give him an opening.
I got two laughs out of it, yours and his, so it’s all good.
What a wonderful response. That you still love the lying ladies is a forgivable foible. So do I, but balance must be restored. And their overgrown field must be cut back if it would yield once again.
LOL, that was priceless. Ron makes a joke. Which way will Jarek spin it?
One: His belief in breeding for quality.
or
Two: His hatred of women.
Nah, that was too easy to speculate on.
So now you believe in eugenics? If only!
Quality is bad, right? If genes play any part, we should breed for poor quality. That will teach the Jareks of the world!
Paula, Ron’s joke was good if a bit wicked. Vlad hasn’t mastered the art of civilized conversation. Maybe too late for him. We may be his only interlocutors. For example, he could make his points about eugenics (which as a farmer I know it works both for plants and for animals) – without bringing out the old tired sack of “women this, women that” – or “blacks-joos this and that”.
One wonders: does he ever have a conversation in the real world? Is he aware his pet peeves and militant outrage (not to mention his unorthodox views about AHitler’s little project) will make anyone who functions in reality back out slowly saying “Ooooook” and hoping never to cross him again?
On the plus side, as far as I know, he doesn’t insult. Ironically, he’d be insulted plenty if he brought his screen oratory to a taco stand.
I hear you, Rulo. That dogmatic, humorless, sad little man is about the last one in this forum I’d want to deal with in the real world
Rulo deals with plants and animals. He more than any knows that genetics plays no part in human life.
Any who think otherwise are “sad, little men”.
Always great to know our sons are better than we are, Ron. Brings you contentment in your crepuscular years.
Thanks Rulo. His current course of study is Agricultural & Life Sciences, so he may yet become a Rennaissance man – a farmer/philosopher/writer.
On crepuscular – of our twilights, my dawn is long past, but contentment in my dusk is almost assured – good friends add to that contentment.
A farmer/philosopher/writer? You mean, like Rulo?
Now we know who the real baby daddy is.
First impeachment was the Mueller debacle, the second was the Ukraine debacle, the Covid prelude.
Why Trump was unable to deal with the Deep State Blob may be an indication of how far down the road the autocratic Uniparty has traveled. I remember how the conservatives, Sean Hannity for one, lauded the choice of Barr as the AG, to give Trump a fighting chance against the DS.
Right before he plunged the DOJ dagger deep into Trump’s back.
Barr epitomized the Deep State – traitor to DJT from day one. How far back? How deep? His father gave Epstein his first job, so that far, that deep.
Trump wants the approval of people he should not be giving the time of day to.
Someone told me that he thinks Trump has come to like the feeling of a knife in his back.
BTW in the book I just finished, by Dr. Scott Atlas, he too noticed that President Trump’s gut instincts tended to be the right ones, but then he would somehow allow himself to get turned away from them.
I recommend that book, not just for Dr. Atlas’ insights, but for what it confirms about the MSM, our universities, and the state of what we call science in America.
Remember that he had to get his choices approved by the Senate, the hot bed of the Deep State.
Just his cabinet positions.
Federal judges. It was the Obama liberal judges that crippled his attempted changes. Remember the 9th court of appeals?
His Chiefs of Staff did not do him proud.
”• The second larger Obama/Holder objective was control over the FBI. Why was that important? Because the FBI does the domestic investigative work on anyone who needs or holds a security clearance. The removal of security clearances could be used as a filter to further build the internal ideological army they were assembling. Additionally, with new power in the ODNI created as a downstream consequence of the Patriot Act, new protocols for U.S. security clearances were easy to justify.
Carefully selecting fellow ideological travelers was facilitated by this filtration within the security clearance process. How does that issue later manifest? Just look around at how politicized every intelligence agency has become, specifically including the FBI……
Through the advice and consent rules, the Intelligence Branch uses the SSCI to keep out people they consider dangerous to their ongoing operations. Any appointee to the intelligence community must first pass through the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, before they get a full Senate vote. If the SSCI rejects the candidate, they simply refuse to take up the nomination. The president is then blocked from that appointment. This is what happened with President Trump over and over again.”

I saw him as a hostage being held as he stood behind Fauci and Birx. Blink once for yes and twice for no.
And he was a coward. He invited Atlas to be on the task force and Atlas was literally shunned by the entire group.
Too bad Trump didn’t have the goods on Fauci then. He could have fired him with cause and brought in Jay Battacharya, and Harvey Reisch and Peter McCollough and Co. to create a coherent strategy to deal with Covid.
Interesting thought to think RFK, Jr. had the goods on Fauci and Trump invited Bobby to work on vaccine issues. Trump says he likes Bobby. I wonder if he ever tried to school Trump on how evil Fauci, the CDC and FDA plus Big Pharma actually are?
He didn’t need to have anything on Fauci to remove him from his own task force.
Fauci had a terrible record. Anybody not knowing this would be because they didn’t bother to check him out.
Barr, the ultimate go-to “cleanup man.” It’s his kind, the second generation CIA guys who can “check out anytime they like, but they can never leave…”
Because why would they? Using their power creatively, hurtfully, is self-gratifying in a career-long Milgram Experiment kind of way. Few are the people on this planet who have that kind of opportunity right out of the gate, an occupation in high demand for both psychopaths and sadists.
But at least Barr replaced the Mobilian, that was born in Selma, Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III.
Jeff “I’d better hide in the root cellar instead of doing my job” Sessions. What did the likes of the Lizard King (that fucking sleazy asshole, Chuckles “Granny” Schumer) have on Sessions, anyway?
First impeachment was the Ukraine debacle.
The Dems ran an entire impeachment charade without once bringing up why they were so set on sending weapons to Ukraine in the first place.
The beleaguered citizens of Donbass were never mentioned.
The second impeachment was even more ridiculous, since it took place after Trump had already left the White House, and impeachment is a means to remove a leader from office.
Although they spent 2 years telling us that Trump would not leave, he did.
But they pretended that he didn’t and went through a farcical trial without him.
You know, I don’t think the Chinese would even waste bullets on these people.
“Although they spent 2 years telling us that Trump would not leave, he did.”
Perhaps, but he sure as shit didn’t “go away”.
Maybe if the Deep State would quit inventing crimes to prosecute him for, he would.
Trump was not “unable” to deal with the Deep State Blob – the plain truth is that Trump did not even try. He appointed James Comey to continue as Director of theFBI despite Comey’s massive and public obstruction of justice in re Hillary Clinton. It was all downhill from there.
The Trump worshippers are every bit as irrational as the Leftist Blob organisms. I’m so sick of the pathetic excuses – “Trump didn’t know what he was getting into” or “Trump didn’t have any help from Bitch McConnel” or “The Blob was mean to Trump and he just couldn’t fight it”.
The truth is that for FOUR LONG YEARS we watched our beloved country nosedive into an abyss of corruption and tyranny while the guy who had PROMISED us to fix it tweeted like a twelve year old girl. At least have the decency to acknowledge the truth and stop floating vapid excused. It does make a difference.
Trump has now unleashed his twelve-year-old intellect on Ron “Desnctimonious” and the claque of Trump worshippers is piling on hard. Bannon describes DeSantis as a Bushite, stopping just short of saying he is the spawn of Satan but then assures us he’ll be “ready” in four years. WTF??? DeSantis is a Bushie now but in four years he’ll be just fine?
We’re screwed every bit as much because those on “our” side can’t think their way out of an open brown paper bag as by those on the Left.
There is only one party in this country, the war party.
It’s obvious from how the run the place, but you can really tell when an outsider shows up.
The two parties combine as one, scream insults and throw the Deep State at them.
Look at how the Dems treated RFK, Jr. He’s a Kennedy, for gawd’s sake, and they tried to censor him at a hearing on censorship!!
Do they need to spell it out any further than that?
I appreciate the quote from Vivek. He’s tied with DeSantis for a reason.
He’s a very eloquent, and incredibly smart dude that I think will give Trump a run, and I hope, albeit with little optimism, that Trump will refrain from personal attacks on him and see his potential as a VP choice.
I like Vivek too and even though I don’t agree with some of his positions, he states them clearly and doesn’t engage in vague, empty platitudes. He would be a good choice for VP for either party (democrats if RFK, Jr gets the nomination — remote possibility).
My predictions for near term “events”
– Poor dear Joe has to exit due health
– Kamala appoints Gavin Tiresome to VP
Reminder: stupid name puns not allowed. Cut it out. — JHK Admin
– Kamala bows out of the ’24 elections her place as the first woman and first minority woman president secure in history
– All items related sleepy’s illegal antics are attributed to his declining mental state (ala Hunter’s activities are only about his drug use)
– China moves on Taiwan 3 days after Gavin “wins” in ’24
– USA becomes a version of the former Soviet Union circa ’91.
Just my best guesses…
–Newsome deploys the newly formed 69th Airborne Division to Taiwan….”The Screaming Trannies”.
–He also commissions in Jan 24 the newest Aircraft Carrier, the USS Dylan Mulvaney, which is promptly sunk in the Taiwan Strait by a hypersonic missile shaped like a penis. Who says the Chinese don’t have a sense of humor?
” Who says the Chinese don’t have a sense of humor?” Someone there had to devise the Mandarin pronunciaton of “Biden”, Bài d?ng, If you can say “Buy dung?” you have just pronounced it.
Newsom could send the elite “George Floyd Brigade” to loot and burn Russian cities. The Russians wouldn’t dare fire on mostly peaceful demonstrators.
🙂
Sorry for the name puns. Too easy I realize.
Soviet Union in 91, as D Orlov explains, had a long history of navigating scarcity, owned their dwellings, raised community gardens everywhere, were masters of scrapping and recycling, and had cheap mass transportation solid networks.
USA will not be that lucky.
Oh, ye all of little faith. By the estimations of the cynics on this blog, then the American Revolution should never really have happened, nor the Civil War, nor the Civil Rights Movement, etc. So to all ye I say please step aside and watch history unfold as it always does and always wil, regardless of your hopeless predictions.
Disagree with you.
America has always been the home of the rebel, the people that want individual freedom. Not any more, the US mammal should be the Lemming.
John, when you speak of “lemmings” are you speaking from personal experience? I take no pleasure in insulting people but it sounds to me as if you’ve been conditioned for the very defeat you criticize others for. Perhaps you can take heart in that, just as all the predictions of Russia’s defeat proved to be spectacularly inaccurate, so the neutering of the Anerican people will be soon unwound. The sleeping giant will again awaken. To the victors will go the spoils and not to the anchovies.
I call them lemmings, too. Because that’s what they are. Only lemmings will vote again for governors who allowed blm and antifa terrorists to burn their cities and kill people. Only lemmings will repeatedly vote for people who destroy their country and their states.
Oh, change is certainly going to happen. It’s a just a function of will it be the ‘easy’ way via elections, versus the ‘hard’ way resulting from defeat against the Russia/China alliance and the loss of the $dollar.
Of course, the hard way is happening anyway, so it’s really of a function of whether a person/government truly acting in the best interests of the people on behalf of the country leads us through the coming times. (The USA’s version of Putin.)
That is, the end result is a fixed constant; the only variable is how we get there.
It’ll have to be the hard way. Elections don’t work in this country anymore.
Vivek’s dream
Not as long as conservatives refuse to vote as a protest!!
The reversal of the Deep State will only happen from the bottom up, the Mob is in total control of the top of the pyramid.
Start with Red states stopping mail in ballots and adopting paper trail elections that are cheat proof.
Wait, I see porcine fly overs.
Vivek’s dreams are just more Republican fantasies about proposition nations populated by mongrels without any history, tradition, or pride. Just “consumers”.
It’s ugly – as are all who believe in it.
I haven’t heard a peep out of any “conservatives” on stopping the mail in fiasco, nor anything on electronic voting machines. Without said changes, the next election will be just as corrupt as the last. The next one will be a real clusterfuck.
“…the personal ruin of every household in the land. Then, things get really interesting.”
The shortages we are experiencing now, e.g. pharmaceuticals (e.g. antibiotics), other medical supplies (e.g. iv fluids), car parts and myriad other needed things, are a function of the US$ NOT being accepted for payment. The biden show claims one of the problems is the unions on the west coast; however, multiple financial investigators have shown that the unions report that their problem is lack of work due to NOTHING COMING IN FROM CHINA!!!! The US$ is being rejected by all of the BRICS+ (now counting 40 or so) nations. China wants parity between the US$ and Yuan/Remnibi in order to supply goods to the US. Currently the US$ is 7:1 vs the Yuan; parity would require a dollar devaluation by about 85%. That deval has to happen to keep goods in wallmarts, etc.
‘the personal ruin of every household in the land. Then, things get really interesting.’ That’s not just another articulate statement. It is reality and happening NOW!
And, BTW, BRICS+ is having a summit in mid august to announce the development of a gold back currency to be used as the world reserve currency IN PLACE OF THE DYING US$!
Best gird one’s loins. 🙂
80% of the US population do not even understand what you just said, Neurodoc.
That is the number one failure in the US, the successful Mob Stupidification of the US public.
Stupidification = immigration + federal control of education.
AZ: I truly hope your wrong but I fear you are correct. The above is a gross simplification of what’s going on financially between the wane of the US$ and the rise of the BRICS+ currency and the Yuan. When I was in college in the 70s, most of my colleagues would have understood the above. When I talk with my daughters friends, all college grads, I fear your numbers are correct.
But, they can operate a cell phone twice as fast as me.
🙂
When was the last time the federal government even passed real budget? Probably not in their adult lives.
Beryl, check out the link I posted to you above.
He says that last time a budget was passed in the normal way was 2007, I think it was.
I remember that many of us Trump supporters were insisting that Paul Ryan and his omnibus spending bills were a yuge problem.
Trump endorsed him anyway.
Look at the bashing Thomas Massie got for not wanting to vote for that CARES Act full of fraud and theft.
When people clearly saw our guy going the wrong way, and tried to excuse it because he was our guy, they didn’t do him any favors.
neurodoc,
What you say is good. It is so. Question: I thought brics, Shanghai cooperation area, Russian federation and sphere of influence are right now roughly splitting payment taken between U$ and their own currency. 40-60, or 50-50?
So while the trend you describe is correct, I posit that the U$ is in deep shit less from competition (It is now one of at least 3 possible forms of payment for many instead of owning 90% or so of world trade) – than from internal collapse.
I can only speak for Latin America, but the attitude now is “we’ll trade in yuan, but convert them to U$ because it is the backbone of our currency is dollars. This is our gold” – so those countries absorb lots of greenbacks and park them in central banks and under mattresses in middle class homes that know their currency is crap and have decades of experience saving in dollars.
My 2¢, like Islander I’m not an economist or understand much of their jargon. I do think many countries are sitting on the fence right now. Personally, I don’t think the US dollar has much of a future, but the world, a chunk of it, disagrees. Still. Internal contradictions and stresses are too awesome. In a split second, millions can decide to withdraw, realize and trade their $ for tangible assets and safe havens, and then yes, what Mr K said.
Most don’t understand simple economics and have no idea what reserve currency means but they do understand $5/dozen eggs. That’s one of the realities Bidenomics can’t sugarcoat.
About two months ago I saw on the news that a common cancer drug used in juvenile leukemia wasn’t being produced anymore b/c it wasn’t a money maker. I don’t remember the name of the drug and hope that publicly shaming this pharmaceutical reversed it. How long did it take to get the makers of baby formula back on line? Months.
The public high schools in Baltimore have reached a new record — one that can not be surpassed — ZERO high schoolers could pass the math exam.
Equinox is a fancy club with high membership cost.
And yet from what I read, this hasn’t even been addressed by Gov Moore.
neurodoc,
I completely agree with you and yet, JohnAZ is right that 80% of the adult population doesn’t understand it and isn’t interested in it. Hence Marjorie Taylor Greene resorting to dick pics to get the public’s attention about Hunter Biden’s, part er, role in the Biden family malfeasance.
Personal finance is bad enough and most people stop at balancing their check books and diversifying their 401k. Corporate finance is even worse and few people can untangle an income statement or balance sheet in any meaningful way. Global finance/ banking has an even smaller following. People don’t understand fractional reserve banking, trade imbalances, exchange rates, the petrodollar, what the Fed does versus what the Treasury does, what the Bank for International Settlements is etc. etc.
I think people will start getting clued into the symptoms when they start seeing really empty shelves. Unless it is your medication that is out of stock, it is hard to see that the way most pharmacies are setup. Same with car parts, unless it’s your item that is out of stock, you wouldn’t necessarily know your dealership is running at a 30% out of stock rate. But visibly empty retail shelves will tell the story to the consumer.
“I completely agree with you and yet, JohnAZ is right that 80% of the adult population doesn’t understand it and isn’t interested in it. ”
I don’t disagree.
I am similarly challenged. But I can read a decent analysis written for non-experts and get a usable take-away.
Some sense of what, bottom line, all of this means for YOU, Mr. and Mrs. America.
It is our media who have totally dropped the ball in not (1) hammering on the importance of the financials of our economy and also financial corruption at the top (with the possibility that the Ukr debacle is partly a cover-up operation), and (2) finding ways to convey the important essence of complex financial issues to the public.
The media chooses what to hammer away on. Fr’instance they decided to hammer away on Trump and covid until everyone believed their narratives.
If they wanted to they *could* actually educate the public about the nation’s finances, and corruption. Isn’t that why we had a “yellow press”? Of course, there would probably be a run on pitch forks if they did . . .
I have a feeling that in any number of “third world” nations, these Biden scandals would lead to immediate votes of no confidence, possibly criminal charges, and you are out, baby!
And maybe not back to the beach house in Delaware with an egg-salad sandwich to talk to.
I remember back in 2008 an alternative reporter stood outside a Wall Street trading firm and asked the traders walking by to explain how derivatives work.
They couldn’t. I can’t either, except to note that it is a scam.
Paula – not all derivatives are bad. Financial derivatives yes, but commodity futures contracts with an underlying hard asset are a form of derivative, and without them, farming (mining, drilling, exploration) would cease to function – savaged by weather & risk. They serve as a price stabilization mechanism and help offset risk – a hedge – for farmers (miners & drillers).
The economic role that traders play is that of willing to take risk that farmers need to lay off and hoping to make a profit for their willingness to step in and assume that risk.
Hedging risk is a necessary part of large-scale farming or agricultural businesses, without which markets couldn’t function and supermarket shelves would be re-priced on a daily basis.
The problem comes when either producers (farmers) or consumers (end users) over hedge – then it becomes closer to gambling.
Certain I’ve muddied the water. Sorry.
I’ll admit that I don’t understand economics, but I do remember when they changed the rules on the Chicago Board of Trade, so that the speculators did not have to take actual possession of the crops at the end of the season.
The ensuing gambling frenzy drove commodity (what the rest of us call food) prices up to crazy levels, which is when Haitians ended up eating mud pies because they couldn’t afford to buy food.
And then there is cap-n-trade, where the Earth’s environment is sold off to the likes of Bill Gates, in the name of climate change.
I’m just not impressed with those “willing to take a risk”, especially because I can see that there is no risk, since the government bails them out if they crash the place.
“Personal finance is bad enough and most people stop at balancing their check books and diversifying their 401k. ”
You nailed it. But it’s worse than you thought.
Just stop at personal finance.
How many people have a budget?
How many know how to balance a checkbook or even have one?
How many know what a 401K is?
Everything else in their life is either instant gratification or just noise.
Yirgach,
It is worse than I explained, you are right.
Many, many people are unbanked to begin with and just operate from one day to the next without a thought for the future or any idea how to plan. This is why people who hit the lottery or inherit some amount of money are usually broke three years later.
Yup. Get your wheelbarrows now for cash conveying and grocery shopping with $ Benjamins. A loaf of bread for I dunno, $2,500 or so?
The good thing is we can cut down on plastic sack usage by pushing said wheelbarrows to and fro. Green Brownie points.
The dollar. It’s already lost 98% of its value since 1913. Fact.
At least doing the math for 85% of 2% shouldn’t be too taxing. But damn is it ever depressing.
Wheelbarrows are only useful on flat ground, I contend.
Women don’t have the strength to use the heavy plough in general. And even those that could would miscarriage if they did so while pregnant.
The Most Shocking Aspect of RFK Jr.’s Anti-Semitism
What’s surprising isn’t that Kennedy voiced an anti-Jewish conspiracy, but that it took this long.
By Yair Rosenberg
Last week, at a dinner event in Manhattan, the Democratic primary candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. shared his unvarnished thoughts about the nature of the coronavirus. “There’s an argument that it is ethnically targeted,” he explained, in remarks captured on video. “COVID-19 is targeted to attack Caucasians and Black people. The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese.” To be sure, Kennedy added, “we don’t know whether it was deliberately targeted or not.” In other words, Kennedy apparently believes it is an open question whether the pandemic was engineered by a shadowy cabal to spare Chinese and Jewish people.
Jarek: Good old Yair Rosenberg to the rescue to help old Ber out. She doesn’t believe that RFK said what he said, you see. But he did. See the video Yair provides.
What a great sub-heading, eh? This is why we love Yair. Of course he’s RFK is anti-Semitic. You all are!
“In other words”, which RFK Junior DID NOT SAY.
That “sparing Chines and Jewish people” is a figment of a reporter’s imagination.
Ber is still in denial. Watch the video to see the unbearable Truth.
This is why women are so good at political protests. They have no doubts. Once they’ve made up their minds, they’re not going to let anything like the facts get in the way of their emotional high.
You simply can’t let them vote. Beryl is exhibit A.
Why would a shadowy cabal try to preserve Jewish people, as regards the virus, then target Israel, in particular, with the clot shots?
Do note that I said nothing whatever about what RFK Jr said, before you try deflection and misogyny. I’m interested in the logic of the original accusation, prior to RFK’s comment.
Jar: I watched the video.
You are lying.
Another feminine enthusiast pipes up. He’s so rich, famous, and handsome. He has to be good…..
I thought this was about brics, petrodollars, reserve currencies. Why not start your own favorite topic of women and hebrews in a different post? Reserve currencies is a more interesting conversation. Just read and learn.
They always take the woman’s side against us. Is it genetic wisdom? Can ideas be passed down genetically? Certainly character traits are. But actual ideas?
Ashkenazi Jews………
I can remember decades ago encountering arguments in online religious forums about Ashkenazi Jews. People will go back and forth arguing about the issue – are they real Jews or not? What’s the difference between real Jews and fake ones? Would an expert like Jarek on all things Jewish know the answer as to how to separate the sheep from the goats?
This tempest in a teapot also occurs in Christian forums where people calling themselves Christians argue that an opponent denomination (JW’s or Catholics for example) aren’t real Christians, that they are in danger of damnation due to wrong denomination. Then sometimes the debate veers off into subdebates as to how to define who is and isn’t a Christian. Must you be a card carrying member of a Church or is it nowadays simply “identifying” as a Christian good enough? Who sets the standards? When you ask this question many hands start waving frantically, they aren’t about to let their denomination be insulted.
Ah, The Fed. The grift that kept on grifting. The Blob spawned from Jekyll Island to be sure.
There is disagreement about that gold-backed currency, as I understand it. I have read that they do not have any intention of setting up a new reserve currency, let alone a gold-backed one. We’ll see.
I agree with everything else you said.
My understanding is that gold will be used to settle trade account deficits/surpluses between participating member nations. Maybe in time it could evolve into a bona fide gold currency for the people.
The way I understand it, nations will trade in their own currencies.
How will trade imbalances be handled? That is a fair question. I doubt it will be with gold, though.
An 85% devaluation of the $ would create another crisis I see coming that nobody else is much talking about. How will the USA’s traditional suburban working mom of the soccer variety react to a sudden lurch back to a 30’s or 40’s lifestyle?
This new lifestyle of a broken dollar means changes like no more cheap imported Asian made clothing. Women everywhere and some men will be required to make clothing by hand and at home using sewing machines and patterns. Women learned to do this starting in high school home economics classes. I watched my mom as well as other moms sewing at home along with repairing and patching and repairing clothing. In the 50’s we had local family owned sewing stores that specialized in selling cloth, patterns, sewing machines and accessories etc. A really skilled home seamstress could make a custom fitted dress or even a man’s suit. I can still remember my mom making me and my siblings stand still so she could measure us with a tape and figure out how to dimension a pattern. Hand made clothing in the 50’s wasn’t thrown away, you fixed ’em and patched ’em and handed them down to younger siblings.
Just as a woman could sew in small town 50’s suburbia, her husband might be found on weekends out in the driveway either under his car or over the engine comparment doing routine maintenance. The average guy in the 50’s didn’t need to go to an SAE certified mechanic for fixing things, he could do it himself.
I don’t see most women in this country being unable to make an abrupt return to an old way of life they are so proud to have unlearned and forgotten. My prediction is that many of them will go barking mad and return to the emotional state of 2 year olds. They will be thinking maybe that going full Karen on everyone will somehow be like a secret decoder call for the few males remaining that haven’t been psychologically castrated. They’ll hear her screaming in distress – a fair damsel that needs their help! They’ll be hoping that those men will come out of hiding and save them if they only go about screaming in public loud enough. It will take a long period of time for the females in the population to grow from 2 years old back into adults and understand in a mature way that they are no longer living in the 1st world. It’s gone and won’t be coming back. They are in the 3rd world now and will be required to learn new skills in order to survive. One skill they will need is the ability to work hard all day long in physically very uncomfortable circumstances. The new types of work being required might not be safe and some of it might involve a lot of pain. You’ll work in spite of the pain and you’ll learn to accept it as a part of your duties at work. Many will probably use suicide as a way to solve these transition problems most easily.
correction, first sentence last paragraph should be:
“I see most women in this country being unable to make an abrupt return to an old way of life.”
The use of the name Karen really pisses me off.
My sister Karen is a talented seamstress and can whip up any item of clothing you might imagine.
I have no idea why you would be using that name as an insult, the way the Woke crowd does.
The use of the name Karen as an insult really pisses me off, that is.
Because he’s anti-White. He thinks he’s living on stolen land. So why is he still here?
A few weeks ago Ben and Jerry’s came out with this meme. A local Vermont chief called them on it and said he wanted the land back that their plant is on. Very awkward silence. People who talk this way are vicious frauds and spiritual criminals.
Ben and Jerry should know that we owe the native Americans reparations. They should deed over all their stock in the company to this chief. I can see this company being successful with a name change. Something like “Bendwunangi and Jeronimo’s Ice Cream.” They’d have some injuns faces on the box for a new trademark. I’d sure buy injun ice cream – wouldn’t you? .
But you get to stay? Like hell. You have to leave if you believe this – or accept that you’re a hypocrite too.
Woodchuck:
I guess they’d have to produce ice cream minus the milk.
“He thinks he’s living on stolen land.”
No, you are all acting like owners instead of stewards. The Owner can change stewards any time He wants to.
And he’s free to pay the guys who work an hour the same as the guys who worked all day.
In terms of Capitalism (which Christ seemed to like in some ways), perhaps grace could be compared to compound interest?
“Time and chance happens to all men”.
Paula, sounds similar to how you all have taken the true meaning of the word “Woke” and turned it into something bad. Quit crying, It’s just a word Karen, ya snowflake…
Woke was always bad.
That’s one thing for which I’m grateful now, both my husband and I, is that we know how to do without if we have to.
woodchuck,
yes, but I think most men will also have a serious meltdown and scream in distress.
I think JM Greer coined the phrase “collapse now and avoid the rush” – not just suburbia, but at least 3 quarters of the population will lose their marbles. Generations raised on the expectation of abundant, affordable, guaranteed, God-given comforts, conveniences and perks. And only good at manipulating abstractions and pose as enlightened, hoping to remain or access the managerial class.
One theory advanced to explain the Bronze Age Collapse was a “Systems Collapse”. Copper, but especially tin (necessary to make bronze) came from far away. Wars and piracy were able to disrupt the supplies of these materials once the “elite” societies became too complacent to defend their own interests. The “systems” which supported societies in the Western world collapsed and recorded history ceased for a while.
We saw a localized mini version in post WW II Germany where formerly affluent hausfraus were reduced to salvaging bricks from bombed out buildings. But the the larger systems did not collapse because the US was there to bail them out. Sure, the madchens had to sell their bodies for a short while but before long their production of Volks Wagens and then Mercedes and Audis were right back up there.
But what about a MAJOR systems collapse? Your 85% devaluation could possibly trigger just such an event. We are so DEPENDENT on techno/supply chain systems that most “adult” young people don’t even know how to milk a chicken.
The chaos from a systems collapse in this country might result in huge swaths of our urban populations killing each other or dying of dysentery before they even had a chance to commit suicide. What would be left thereafter is anybodies guess but I think a major repopulation of North America by Mandarin speaking persons is not out of the question.
“The US$ is being rejected by all of the BRICS+ (now counting 40 or so) nations. China wants parity between the US$ and Yuan/Renminbi in order to supply goods to the US”
NDoc,
Rejected? Parity? Reference, please.
But they’re keeping everyone’s attention focused on transgender issues and gay rights.
Sonofabitch Jim, you’ve got the old fire back. Nice way to bookend a long career. Bravo.
Mitch – your rumors of Jim’s back bookend are greatly exaggerated.
Ron, you are comedy gold today. Well said. Mr K hasn’t announced retirement or kicked the bucket yet!
Speaking of Barr, the prosecution in the January 6 case wants to use the fact that Trump’s own DOJ told him there was no election fraud of consequence as proof of what Trump knew, to prove he committed a felony.
There is so much wrong with that, but when we are talking AG Barr and what he concluded about fraud, we are talking about a man who saw the proof that Trump was being impeached for Biden crimes, and said nothing.
Also, Barr said he didn’t see something but he didn’t say he looked very hard.
Also, the fraud does not have to be widespread to affect the outcome. In fact, it is better if it isn’t.
If Barr actually does not know this, he was the wrong person to be doing the investigating.
Trump has his own self to blame for ever hiring Barr in the first place. He’s as establishment as they come. His first loyalty has always been to the. He even looks like the Blob.
And there’s his long on and off association with Jeffrey Epstein, going back to his father hiring Epstein to teach math at the prestigious Dalton School. Blob Barr also worked at a law firm who represented Epstein.
forbes.com/sites/lisettevoytko/2019/07/09/bill-barr-wont-recuse-himself-from-epstein-sex-trafficking-case/?sh=6b3aed3d22f6
Barr is a Bush Neo-con. Pure and simple. Trump was a fool to bring him in. If he had Bannon around this probably would’ve been avoided. But instead, Trump listened to his pencil neck geek son-in-law. Much of Trump’s problems are a result of his own stupidity and hard headedness.
Jared hates Trump with a passion and has had his revenge on him. Trump’s stupidity is as massive as his ego – and that’s massive indeed.
That claim is on a par with the shitlibs who profess that the fact that no judge would risk their lives by taking on an election fraud case proves that there was no election fraud.
Jeez, it’s bad enough when random media slurpers make that claim, but a prosecutor?
Alexander Mercouris is a lawyer, and he thinks this case is on a par with Henry VIII.
youtube.com/watch?v=TH_kJuBRZwY
That Barr was the wrong man for the job is much more than an understatement. He was absolutely one of the worst people in the country for the situation. Totally corrupt deep stater that he is.
Kinda funny how often that same situation keeps occurring. Like the judge scheduling the trial just before the 2024 election…
Trump, in his defense, should subpoena Ruby Freeman and all the other poll workers from Fulton County. We all saw Ruby Freeman put the same stack of ballots through the same tabulator THREE TIMES.
I don’t need Billy Barr to tell me there was no voter fraud when I saw it with my own eyes,
Of course, Trump is too DEAD STUPID to do this or he would have had it done before the vote was certified. Just imagine Trump picking an aggressive young conservative from the ranks of the FBI and sending him to Georgia as his personal appointee to impound the voting machines, impound everyone’s cell phones, and interrogate UNDER OATH and RECORD all the poll workers.
Ruby Freeman was caught ON TAPE counting the ballots three times. I saw it. YOU saw it. How could she explain it? SHE COULDN’T. Ergo, she would have almost certainly PLED THE FIFTH. Now, just imagine trying to certify Georgia’s electors when the poll workers are pleading the Fifth on how the votes were counted.
For icing on the cake, imagine Trump granting “subject matter immunity” to one of the other poll workers. Such immunity removes the Fifth Amendment protection. Would young “LaTish’a” or “TeQ’an’ta” have been willing to go to jail rather than testify? I rather doubt it. But our genius President Trump squandered his last opportunity to cut through the Gordian Knot and chose instead to stomp his feet and tweet his displeasure.
They could keep Joe in the basement for 18 months, juice him to the gills for one debate, and try to repeat. 2020. Of course, they’ll need to pair every whistleblower revelation with another indictment of Trump. But what the heck? It’s worked so far.
Maybe President Harris is just too horrible to contemplate, even for the Blob.
Hell, the blob put her there. We have had our noses rubbed in the stolen election of Biden, Harris. The American people just roll over and play possum. The deep staters think/know that they can do as they please with no repercussions. Another thing concerning the collapse of the dollar. With the prison population at the end of 2021 being 1,204,300. What happens there when the economy, law enforcement, and society in general goes further to hell than it already is. It may be possible to have some kind of recovery from all of this, but maybe not. Not without a complete, total crash and burn.
Fair point. They don’t need to be evil geniuses when zero repercussions are in play. Just evil.
It does not really matter who they prop up to front the program, any hack will do.
Speaking of a debauched news media, however much we may hate the NYT and by extension everyone who works there, it isn’t enough.
I’m referring to an op-ed and smear against RFK Jr. by one Sheryl Gay Stolberg, who actually said this:
“Despite the theater, the hearing raised thorny questions about free speech in a democratic society: Is misinformation protected by the First Amendment? When is it appropriate for the federal government to seek to tamp down the spread of falsehoods?”
Anybody who works for that rag has got to by now know they are working as a propagandist for a corrupt regime, or they are too stupid to even BE a reporter.
Is there nothing these people won’t do for money?
The slanted article also tried to give the impression that the hearings were about RFK Jr. being a racist.
https://twitter.com/SherylNYT/status/1682081481781379073?s=20
LOL…. Who then will determine what “misinformation” is? Snopes from the basement in Langley?
Lol…. Oh, ya gotta laugh. At least a few seconds a day anyway.
The Establishment is working hard to convince Americans that free speech is not a value we should uphold.
The sad thing is that they have convinced a lot of people.
Half of Millennials think that misgendering someone should be a criminal offense, for instance.
“Misinformation” is obviously in the eye of the beholder, but it isn’t obvious to the msm brainwashed.
Most of the country would be more than happy to sacrifice their “rights” for peace and safety. That’s just how they’ve been brought up and indoctrinated.
When will Fauci be deposed for spreading misinformation that the shots would prevent the spread of the virus and you couldn’t get it if you got all the shots?
You have nailed the problem with letting the Establishment decide what is “disinformation”, and what can be said and what can’t.
It appears that Fauci will go to his grave an old man. Fat and happy. And rich.
Fauci should be scared witless of meeting his Maker.
“A CIA spook “whistleblower” named Eric Ciaramella (sssshhhh)”
I never understood why his name could not be mentioned. JHK wrote the name in a few posts back in 2019 and then would not mention him, even though everyone knew it was Eric Ciaramella. Did the Blob threaten journalists?
Not True, Dr. Tom. I consistently named Eric Ciaramella whenever I discussed his role in this soap opera. –JHK Admin
” Did the Blob threaten journalists?”
Yes.
Even Polly St. George took the threats seriously and referred to him as something like “the guy whose name begins with C.”
Mr C wanted the CIA to give him the codename “The Heinous Anus”. Unfortunately, it was already taken by Anderson Cooper
Eric CIAramella. CIAramella. Really? Or are Mr. Vindman and those delightful folks at Langley just teasing us again, every so charmingly?
I don’t think Jim would ever bend to a veiled threat from the blob. If nothing else, this would embolden him to uncover the truth.
It wasn’t a question of “his name could not be questioned.”
He was supposed to remain completely anonymous (to the public) and a great deal of effort was gone to to make sure that he did.
E.g.,
“For a town that leaks like a sieve, Washington has done an astonishingly effective job keeping from the American public the name of the anonymous “whistleblower” who triggered impeachment proceedings against President Trump — even though his identity is an open secret inside the Beltway. . . . . ”
httpX://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2019/10/30/whistleblower_exposed_close_to_biden_brennan_dnc_oppo_researcher_120996.html
His name was literally not to be mentioned for the public to know his identitiy. In light of what we know now about the fraudulence of both impeachments, it actually makes more sense. Because there must have been plenty of people who knew the guy was outright lying, and probably paid to do so.
The way I remember it, they said his name at first, and then decided it was Top Secret.
That is a new and different way of cover-up and censorship.
Usually, they withhold information from the very beginning, or, they wait until the hoopla is over and then drop it down the Memory Hole.
It was very strange to see the top down oppression rolled out in real time.
Much like the trans thing, where even the conservative press uses incorrect pronouns, as ordered from the top. They might put a photo up, so that we can see how crazy it is for an obvious man to be called “she”, but they still do it.
This administration turned out to be so unbelievably depraved that it actually made me want Donald Trump back. I don’t think Trump is truly qualified, but I do think that he actually cares about this country to the extent that he’s capable of caring about something other than himself.
He lost me when he selected MIKE PENCE to be ONE heartbeat away from the Presidency.
What we desperately need is another ANDREW JACKSON….
and not another Jerry Springer.
Mike Pence is a better personification of a stiff ineffectual white dude than the Dying Gaul
Very clever. I wonder how many people here are familiar with that sculpture?
I just learned something. Thanks. Powerful image.
So what you’re saying is that you voted for Biden. Nice job.
Eh, be kinder. I probably voted for Biden, too, even though I cast my vote for Trump. My state, Wisconsin, got thoroughly Zucked.
Wisconsin, hey? If you live in Milwaukee County you can also guarantee your Trump vote was tossed in the trash.
Not Milwaukee or any similar shithole, thank goodness. My vote really did get counted, but it got buried by Democrat dirty tricks. I have never watched such protracted, paradoxical returns, before.
Glad to hear that Megabeth. Driving around up north, I am thrilled to see so much MAGA goodness still on display. Minocqua Brewing should be put in its place though. BTW, I live in the WOW counties and steer clear of Milwaukee as much as possible.
I know, I’m sorry. That was easily my biggest fuck-up of the two-thousand-teens (new decade doesn’t start until year ending in “1”, as the was no “Year 0”).
Trump is not qualified?
Huh?
And Biden is?
WTF?
Both are lacking in serious regards, IMHO.
IF you think someone(s) is going to save your sorry a*s from the inevitable MEAT GRINDER of a so called “government” tearing you to shreds, best think some more.
This “government” makes MURDER INC. look like a boy scout jamboree, with Myer Lansky singing God Bless America to all the “troops”.
YOU are goy.
And like the cattle in the field, it’s….
ROUND UP TIME…. THE LAST ROUNDUP….
FOR YOU.
Actually, Meyer Lansky’s son was an Army Officer, and his daughter a successful novelist.
You weren’t kidding about being a mob expert, BRH.
I’m no expert, Paula. Winters here are long & dreary. I try to fill the time by picking a subject & research the hell out of it. One year it was the Golden Age of Pirates, another was Ernest Hemingway. Yet another was the Philippine – American Wars 1898-1913. This last winter it was organized crime. You’d be surprised how much you can learn in the course of a winter.
Nicolaitanism [ past & present ] will keep you busy at least a couple months.
I like that methodical approach and wish I could stick to it. I absorb at random, but share with you the conviction that reading is the best and most profitable entertainment.
In what army? This is a serious question btw, and I want an answer.
Captain, US Army
The thing that differentiates Jewish & Irish mobsters from Sicilian mobsters, is that Jewish & Irish mobsters did not encourage their sons to go into “the life”. And not all Italians either. Genovese family head Chin Gigante kept his kids away from it, and expressed regret when he learned John Gotti’s son was “getting his button.” (Being made)
Oh, interesting and admirable.
Meyer Lansky was an Israeli patriot, donating large sums. Perhaps some of the Irish mobsters were as well – donating to the IRA?
In any case, I thought it possible that his son had joined the Israeli military as “conservative” David Brooks son did.
Sometimes there are wolves disguised as sheep, too.
I’m torn. Granted, Ol’ SloJo is the most corrupt, most incompetent, and least sentient man in charge since… forever… but then again, he’s the perfect fall guy for the total collapse and dissolution of whatever’s left of a “Federal Government” in DC. Don’t know why they’d want to go to the trouble to replace him at this point.
Dis
The savior of the American ideal lies at state level.
The Deep State is a lost cause and the cities are nuts.
I’m not too sure about that. I’d rank Wilson up even higher than Biden and will do so until Biden gets us directly involved in WWIII. Then I’ll reevaluate.
Yeah, Ol’ Woody was a piece of work too. He gets credit for WWI AND the Federal Reserve Act. That’s some pretty distinguished work right there.
Don’t you wish you could go back in time and just murder people that foisted such evil upon humanity? Wilson would be one such good victim. Of course, most people say Hitler, but that would have created a major power vacuum, so who know how over all history would have been affected.
And yet, at the time he appeared to be a mild-mannered, academic, devoutly religious, bookish little do-gooder. Not unlike our boy Little Lord Fauci. Ain’t they always the worst?
Yeah, who wants to be left holding the presidential bag when the SHTF?
If the president is responsible for the SHTF scenario, then it really does not matter. That president brought it upon himself, much like Biden and his handlers are bringing failure upon themselves. History will not be kind to them.
The 25th Amendment: I’ll believe it when I see it. I think it just as likely that they’ll just find a way to re-animate the prez with some new gadget or just keep the charade going “Weekend at Bernie’s” style.
At any rate, JHK’s earlier prediction that Biden would be out by July 4 has come and gone . . . just like so many other prognostications from a variety of commentators (all logged into my calendar over the past year) that failed to occur by the announced date. That Clif High dude, for one, predicted all governments would collapse by the end of July. Should I be angry or relieved that they haven’t?
With the state of the stupidity of the American people, nothing is going to happen much.
I watch the Fox lineup at night and realize that over 50% of the public do not know what they are talking about, maybe as much as 80%. They do not give a damn, also.
They still pledge allegiance to the flag, it is only that the flag has changed to the rainbow flag.
Those stupid Walmart shoppers that you and others here sneer down your noses at are crippling Disney; have so far caused around 20 billion is losses at Target in the 2 months alone; have caused Anheiser Busch to lose 30% of it’s market share.
But keep insulting us, we are so stupid and you are so smart.
Much to Disney’s, Target’s and Busch’s horror they’re finding out Walmart shoppers have long memories and definite opinions.
Remember when Wal-Mart used to tout “Made in the USA” on many of their products? Haven’t seen that there in quite some time.
If you live in the country, there are very few other places to shop besides Walmart–at least, not unless you’re willing to drive a considerable distance and brave “city” (actually suburban) traffic. And country Walmarts are clean, pleasant, and safe, and full of polite, pleasant people. I won’t buy their meats or produce–both of which are incredibly bad. But I’ll buy their canned goods, dairy, Jiffy Seed-Starting kits, nursery plants, kitchenware, and the occasional pair of jeans. And sometimes motor oil.
It’s only people who live in the city who won’t go to the city Walmarts. When one of my daughters lived in the city, she stopped going there because of all the tweakers and other sketchy people.
I’ve been told that I have an ironic humor.
I suppose there is truth in that.
Because when I read your complaints about stupid people while admitting to tuning-in to FOX… I just, I can’t ..
I thought it was Q that predicted the 4th.
JHK: “Joe Biden” will either be impeached for real high crimes and misdemeanors, or he will be bum-rushed out of the White House on some medical pretext before Independence Day. “
“some medical pretext” or something facilitated by his Secret Service detail a la Praetorian Guard.
…close to Aug.8th.
And now the new date is Halloween, or as many pronounce it, Holloween.
Predicting dates is a lot like watching me golf, not a good use of your time. When I hear anyone with a specific timeline, I try to focus on what the they are predicting, not when. If they are confident enough to predict a date, it’s usually a topic they are well versed in, so I’m likely to learn a lot from their research.
I don’t know why Mr K has this weakness for definite predictions. He makes a lot of sense without them, explaining trends, pictures-in-pictures, doesn’t need them, nobody expects them or reads him for the prognostications, he could do without them…
Yet, year after year…
Could be tomorrow or never, or could not happen and something else happen instead, yet the description of a part of reality is still valid. A little vice, a pastime, like smoking or too much dessert, we all have them.
We are stuck in a Wile E Coyote moment, like an object on the brink of crossing the event horizon of a black hole, seemingly stuck in time. Then suddenly we all go as quickly as a collapsed submersible in depths it was never intended to go.
Brother, I’ll say!
Ha!
The only real criticism I have of our talented Mr. Kuntsler is his belief that the GOP can fix this unGodly mess.
Its Kabuki theater with the intent that the public think that there are rally two opposing political parties.
Yet GOP following Dem administrations and via versa, nothing changes.
I would have agreed with that completely, but this year I decided at some point that the Republicans at least aren’t as heavily inflltrated by communists.
I saw this, from Emerald Robinson, yesterday on Twitter, and she agrees with me about the commies.
“Democrats in Congress openly hectoring & censoring the scion of the Kennedy dynasty at a televised hearing is the most obvious sign of the death of liberalism in America.
It’s over.
They’re all communists now and they know it.”

Someone in the replies called Bobby Jr. the last of the Mohicans.
You do have a legitimate point.
I’m reconsidering my comment.
And who funded the Communists? The Capitalist did of course. It’s one system, heads and tails.
For those who can’t follow a train of thought: That means the Republicans aren’t going to save us since they represent the Capitalist wing of the System.
Yes, Liberalism, Conservatism, Capitalism, Communism, Democrat, Republican. Blah, blah. Still Jarek is correct in saying the Republicans nor Capitalism will save us.
Yes, say anything but the salient point: Capitalism funded Communism and it’s one system, heads and tails.
It’s no easy thing I admit. Both Russia and China have gotten off the hook: Russia into Fascism and China into National Socialism.
Smaller examples are more easily seen: Such Companies funding BLM and the Trans. But historically, we can see examples just as clear of the West helping to set up Communist China and funding the Revolution in Russia. What happened later is more complex.
Succinct and razor sharp, Jared. The dark Bread & Circus follies run out of gas when the plebs run out if bread. Or will everyone be exterminated first?
Welcome to 5th century Rome, v2.0
Apparently a Rockefeller was eaten by the Papuan cannibals. The Whites had killed one of their own in the city and they were angry. Did they eat him? In general, they found Whites too dry and salty. Is it our diet? Japanese were their favorites….
I don’t think he ever said that the Republicans will fix this mess.
I think that he points to the few honest people around who are trying to fix it, be they dem or rep.
I, for one, am impressed with Matt Gaetz and RFK, Jr., for speaking up in this time when the Establishment is trying to criminalize free speech.
Also, the front line doctors who have risked everything to tell the truth.
Paula,
The “establishment” controls news content. Bad press and invectives are not the issue…it is the lack of ANY notice that will cause the most harm to a thought, or movement, or candidate.
I agree. I had absolutely no opinion about Trump in 2016, but when the entire msm started trashing him, I figured he must be all right.
But if a candidate runs in a forest and the media doesn’t cover it, did it happen?
I’m in agreement with you on the front line doctors, and RFK is impressive, but he would have to renounce any and all gun control and lgbtq bullshit before any sane people should vote for him. Actually it doesn’t matter much who is in the highest office. One man cannot fix this. It will take massive, unprecedented social change that will only happen with horrendous amounts of violence and suffering.
The only real criticism I have of our talented Mr. Kuntsler is his belief that the GOP can fix this unGodly mess. – canuk

How do you figure that if JHK is throwing a fund raiser for RFKJr.?
How do you figure that if JHK is throwing a fund raiser for RFKJr.?
Exactly, fixing the mess no longer falls along party lines. A strong, clear leader is needed that is not beholden to the NWO Klaus Schwabien beliefs. Sanity must be restored, and the old party politics must be thrown out with the bathwater.
Why did you post the second part of your post twice – and not the whole thing? That implies intent and not a slip of the mind or hand.
Defend yourself – if you can.
It’s a long story, not worth telling, as to how and why that happened.
I’ll be the judge of that. Sing!
LOL! The Grand Inquisitor emerges!
We’ve changed places. Now I ask the questions and determine the validity of the answers.
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!
Scott Adams says we’re about a day away from Trump being arrested for leaving cocaine in the White House.
How far/long are we away from brainless Joe getting a stiff dose of fentanyl and Tranq slipped into his ice cream?
There was also news that we are close to seeing charges filed against Trump in the murder of Tupac.
I thought that was from the Babylon Bee!!
Have any of you seen the video in which King Charles had to gently guide Zombie Joe to the correct position to leave after they reviewed the British redcoat guard in London? Joe had no clue where he was. I think the tall black fuzzy hats really threw him off. Lol…
Then there was when he recently walked off the set too early during an interview at MSNBC. Or was it CNN? Same difference.
The petite reporter-ette could only laugh. (They know what’s up).
The urge to bury his face in one of those and sniff must have been overwhelming.
Those are made of bear fur. Probably aromatic.
wasn’t sure if that was about the beefeater hats or the petite reporter’s ‘features’.
sometimes i enjoy my confusion…
He started hollering at one to “Get cracking.” And by that he meant walnuts. Also, “You mean it’s Christmas already in England?”
Get ready for the “Tripledemic” hype:
“Even as the nation is faced with blistering heat waves this summer, Dr. Mandy Cohen, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is already thinking ahead to cold and flu season this winter.
“We’re going to have three bugs out there, three viruses: Covid, of course, flu and RSV,” Cohen said in an interview. “We need to make sure the American people understand all three and what they can do to protect themselves….
…..Omicron XBB subvariants remain the most prevalent forms of Covid, though on Wednesday, the World Health Organization identified a new XBB version, the EG.5, as rising in prevalence around the world and in the U.S.
It’s unclear what — if anything — the emergence of EG.5 means. The WHO noted there’s no evidence that it causes more severe illness. Cohen said that so far, the virus remains susceptible to Covid shots.”
nbcnews.com/health/health-news/tripledemic-covid-rsv-flu-winter-cdc-rcna95448
Of course, there is a vaxx for each virus, which we’ll be hearing about constantly by September, I’m sure.
And it is safe to get all three! It’s twoo!
98% of Americans have had RSV by the time they are two years old, and are therefore immune.
That is a fact which they have tried to put down the Memory Hole, so we just have to remember it by ourselves, like a nation of Winston Smiths.
Paula,
Just finishing a book on virology, and it indicates that immunity offered by disease and vaccinations has a shelf life of approximately 5 years, wherein the protection then lessens.
When was the book written? If it’s telling you that natural immunity “wears off”, I’m guessing it was written after 2020.
Does it also tell you that there are more than two sexes? Cause that’s the “new biology” also.
I can tell you that I was exposed to mumps as a child, and had a titer 40 years later that showed I was still immune.
Same with chickenpox and measles.
” Same with chickenpox and measles.”
Paula,
Same with shingles?
“What usually triggers shingles?
People develop shingles when the varicella-zoster virus, which causes chickenpox, reactivates in their bodies after they have already had chickenpox”~google search..
More than two sexes? Relying on my distant memory, I would have to be convinced that there are even two.
You don’t catch chickenpox again. The varicella virus has the ability to hide inside your cells, and yes, when your body is older, your immune system is weaker, and you are stressed, it can reemerge as shingles. It is not a new disease.
Same as Epstein Barr virus. (Not the dudes, the virus.) It hides in your body for life, and can reactivate when your immune system is weakened.
What year was your book written?
Paula,
2002.
That surprises me.
The new RSV vaccine is very expensive. The mortality rate from RSV is very low for children. I read (don’t know if it’s true) that the initial trials were bad news but they’re still pushing it. My youngest grandson had RSV 3 years ago, was hospitalized twice but is fine now. It can be scary when they have a bad case but I’m against yet another vaccine for kids for bugs they can get and get over with no side effects.
In the 60s they tested a RSV vaccine, but it killed some kids, so they pulled it.
That’s what they did back before the drug companies were immunized in 1986,
Yeah, RSV can be bad for some infants. Better to keep infants out of daycare than to give them all shots, but that’s not how our system rolls, is it.
That’s exactly what happened. He was in day care and in his little group of 10, five got sick with symptoms but two got very sick and had to be hospitalized. My guess is all ten got it but showed no symptoms.
Mothers are made to feel guilty if they’re not working and “contributing” to the household and “using their education.” Plus, the moms who do stay at home are isolated and most live away from a family support group. It’s a hard situation for them and the kids end up in day care.
Indeed. There are fixes for that, but they will not implement them.
That shows that their expressed “concern” for the health of babies and children is a lie.
They want to push the drugs.
They were trying to scare people about RSV at the nursing home where I work, last year. RSV! So we were doing the droplet isolation kabuki with 90 y.o. asymptomatic people. The federal government demands it, on pain of losing CMS funding.
That’s how you know it’s an agenda.
Did you test the adults? I have tested probably hundreds of babies for RSV, but never an adult, because until this year, it was known that adults weren’t susceptible.
When we tested sick babies, we did flu, RSV, and strep. The flu and RSV was one nasal swab, the strep was a throat swab.
So I would do the nasal swab first. It hurts, so the babies would scream and cry, and then when their mouths were open, I would do the throat swab.
Huh. So I was in the face of screaming babies with RSV (lots of times), spewing their RSV virions into my face, and I never got RSV again.
Go figure.
But now “scientists say” that you can get RSV again. Probably multiple times, amirite?
Why do people believe the words of known liars?
Uh-oh.
Winter is coming.
Fear and trembling.
After the spring and summer of fear and trembling.
It’s F&T 24/7.
Yes, they will tell us to prepare for a long, cold, cark winter again, trying to enforce our compliance through fear. This after a someone uneventful spring and summer, a summer that apparently was a sweltering one for the record books.
Too bad we can’t bottle up all this excess heat and save it for the winter months. Apparently, we can harness the power of wind and save some of that energy in batteries. Why can’t we do this with all the heat that is currently being wasted in the desert?
I liked Fear and Loathing much better!
Fact: Joe Biden has done is two and a half years more for the good of the American people than tRump did in four. tRump enriched himself and blathered BS to his supporters that they took as gospel when it was cow dung.
Fact: an aging President with good advisers is not handicapped.
Fact: You’ve lost more than a step or two, James, I’m sorry to report.
Fact: Get back to fiction, my good man, because you’re writing it anyway and calling it a blog.

This ATZ character has been watching too much Rachel Maddow. I don’t know whether to laugh or be saddened by such “head up the ass” thinking.
Fact: Trump was lawfully elected by a majority of the populace, resulting in an Electoral College win
Fact: The votes for Biden were all ginned up to appear that he received a majority through cheating and ballet harvesting, thereby electing a verified loser to the office of the Presidency
ballet harvesting
========
Haha
Oh gee, we all know that Ol’ Joe likes pink tutus and leotards.
Ballet Harvesting. – to gather in one sack, dead swans, unhappy barbers, clowns, and gypsies; maybe the odd, stray Valkyrie.
Harvest walnuts first, then nutcrackers.
Yeah, and by an even number of votes in all five swing states where Trump had been leading before they shut down counting. Go figure.
I would address this idiotic statement, but I’ve decided you must be kidding. Done more good for the American people? Seriously?
Yeah, rampant inflation with no end in sight, and a never-ending war in the Ukraine with all kinds of personal grift is really “doing good for the American people”.
What is good for the Biden Crime Family is not good for the “American people”.
I didn’t see any facts there. Just opinions labeled as fact.

You have to be immeasurably deluded to think Biden has done anything positive.
Trump lost a massive amount of money during his tenure due to the hysterical response from fragile zealots like yourself, so your argument there is absurd. He actually paid an incredibly heavy price for trying to save this nation from the lunatic fringe which you so perfectly represent.
You should be commenting on MSNBC and CNN where they will take your thoughts seriously.
@ AZT942:
I’m guessing that your idea of “doing good for the American people” consists mainly of allowing men into women’s bathrooms (even in schools), encouraging children to choose their gender or identify as a bunny rabbit, encouraging children to undergo “gender affirmation surgery” and use puberty blockers, freeing criminals to roam at large in our communities, allowing looting and shoplifting to go unpunished, allowing drugs and gang members (and everyone else in the world) to pour across our borders, and rejoicing in human trafficking. People should be free to own anyone they want, right? They should also be free to steal anything they want, burn down anything they want, and sell fentanyl to anyone they want. That’s what freedom’s all about, right? I know you cherish these freedoms and support Biden’s effort to advance them. Because that’s what America is all about. Well, that and clearing out (by killing them) all those pesky humans in Ukraine, so that Blackrock and the various other corporations to which Zelensky has sold off Ukrainian land can operate in freedom–that is, freedom from people who might object to having their country stolen. The American people are sure to benefit from all the billions spent in support of this.
Another wonderful plateful of Slumville corruption served as always in Mr Kunstler’s inimitable and high style where the diseased entrails of the plat du jour are pored over and picked at with the scalpel of his wit and steady measure of his vintage erudition. Alas we have had this diet now for far too long and the state of poisoning and malnutrition exposed by these observations brings us no farther on the road to health nor even to a type of junk food satiety in the great US culinary tradition. We wait for solutions that are never coming, for wars that never end, for some semblance of consciousness from the protoplasmic masses if not for some action on the part of those with the guns in the background that skulk in the debauched edifice of what once was (at least for some) a passable democracy but today for almost all humanity is nothing more than a rotten corpse in the whited sepulcher of what “America” (sic) represents for the rest of a world sick of everything that Slumville, USSA represents.
Perhaps it is not the “Blob”, nor indeed the Cadaver In Chief itself or the idiot Barry Obama gangsters managing this musty carnie gimp show that the world is sick to death of but rather all things American (sic) and the American way of sucking humanity dry.
N,
Good effort….
Hopefully someone will blow the whistle on how Obama is still in charge – taking orders from above himself of course.
Biden did state in a speech that every time he hears Hail to the Chief playing he looks around and wonders where the president is. Makes you wonder if he is looking for Obama….?
Just a gut feeling — maybe it will pass like a sudden sense of nausea — but VP Harris ain’t going anywhere. Even more nauseating is the fear that should Biden’s metabolic and autonomic processes cease, Michelle Obama becomes available for the VP slot.
Harris can retire to spend more time with her family and Michelle Obama can be appointed VP in her place.
Then Biden announces he won’t seek reelection and Mrs. Obama enters the race. No other candidates allowed.
Viva Vivek!
No, not really.

Yes, one this is sure: He wants more Indians here, millions more.
Speaking of Indians, a vignette of American life-
A warm summer Sunday evening, people are indoors after the day’s activities, relaxing before the start of another work week.
On a quiet side street, one household, relative newcomers, is having yet another of their increasingly frequent weekend parties.
Out back, in the garage, with multiple guests arriving, and rather loud music.
Loud enough that the neighbors can all hear, much too loud for the people on either side.
It isn’t good music either. It keeps stopping, starting, increasing and decreasing in volume.
No one can be enjoying it, the guests must have to shout over it.
After a while, the music seems to change. As it turns out, the next door neighbors to the partiers, who recently installed large stereo speakers on their open front porch, have had quite enough of the Bollywood or whatever it is.
American music thunders out into the night. What is that tune? It’s Metallica! Nothing Else Matters.
The neighbors observe guests starting to leave. Metallica isfollowed by Black Sabbath (it is, after all, Sunday).
When the new music comes to an end, theparty in the garage is MUCH quieter.
‘Merica, Baby!
In other words, you think Whites should be deported along with the Sub-Continentals. Only real Indians are “Native Americans”.
Oh Beryl…..
Jarek my God.
Where did you get that from? No wonder you think RFK Jr. said what he didn’t say.
You must be having some kind of episode.
Ok, are you saying that radically different ethnic groups don’t belong in the same polity – with their music being a de facto symbol of that fact?
If so, I agree with you.
Bhangra. Indian dance music. More or less the soundtrack to Bend It Like Beckham.
I was once a keyboardist in an “event” band — in this case playing Christmas parties given by the management for the tenants at a large apartment complex. We were playing mostly straight ahead American pop and throwing in a Christmas song here and there. Over the years the complex had become more and more South Asian; there was/is a university in the neighborhood and probably all of these Asian tenants were students. We used to put on CDs for “break music” and I got the bright idea to bring some from my Bhangra collection. When I put it on a roar came up from the crowds and the Asians began to do their thing to the beat of the music — having been demurely polite and uninterested until that point.
In a minute the manager who had hired us ran out and said “Take that off!!!!! We hear it all the time around here way too loud and we’re sick of it!!!!”
NIce! I once started cutting logs with a chainsaw in my underpants when a neighbor would not quiet his “music” at a decent time. Got some work done, and he got the message.
The manifestations of passive aggressive behavior would make for a very entertaining coffee table book.
Just a small picture of life in America today, Jarek. That’s all.
seems like no one has heard of J. Edgar Hoover or Allen Dulles.
“The switcheroo itself may be enough to tank the financial markets, which will give the restive nation something else to think about: the personal ruin of every household in the land. Then, things get really interesting.” JHK
The financial markets are going to tank DEBT, the only card they hold? Are we actually to believe the markets won’t be paused to maintain “market viability”? The western markets can plunge without the derivative markets following in hot pursuit?
more like: the personal ruin of every household in the west and every western institution.
better hope ole Joe makes it four. Buyers remorse is uncomfortable, yet…
Stacy Plaskett and Debbie Wasserman Schulz are two of the most loathsome humans I have ever witnessed. Stomach-turning. How do people actually vote for these low-lifes??
I first encountered these types of females back in the early 50’s. They were active in churches and schools of the day. One of them I remember well had been active in promoting feminism, women’s suffrage, women’s rights etc. She was almost a Carry Nation type with all the sense of humor of a garden slug. Elvis terrified her during her last few senior years, and that happened because she’d been gifted one of those newfangled tv sets in ’56. She was a gray haired termagent and harpie and had a local group of female orcs she’d hang out with. They were all active in various local womens and church organizations. They were out virtue signalling even then. Their husbands all made enough money that these women didn’t need to work. They spent their time with their noses up in the air and busybodying about town thanks to the fact there were blue collar guys working for their husbands. The work that these guys did ultimately made it possible for the harpie liberal women of the day to have the spare time they enjoyed.
These types of women wanted boys to be indoors studying and under complete female control. Starting with age six all boys are to be confined indoors for at least six hours and under the control of a harpie female. Male influences are nowhere to be found. The soccer moms are all ok with this. Elementary education in general is ok with this. A process of psychological castration begins that continues on all the way to PhD level. Until we stop doing this we’ll be gender confused and mentally ill. The rest of world sees this and are laughing at us. We are a joke.
Yes, such are they promulgate the idea that we’re living on stolen land (not CONQUERED!) and you bought it and still buy it.
Nations are born in blood – just like babies. But only men can make other men. You get this much right.
Nations are born in blood – just like babies. – Jarek
==========
It was just a day or two ago I read that babies are actually born as clean as a whistle. Only if an episiotomy was performed (snipping the woman’s peep to create a larger opening) would there be blood present.
Thus, you stand corrected.
Perhaps Paula D will confirm what I’ve said.
I don’t know about clean, but there is not supposed to be blood with birth, until afterwards.
If there is blood, it could mean a placenta abruptio or placenta previa, which are life-threatening for both mother and baby.
Babies are born wet and slimy, though.
@_@
Occasionally, a baby is born with the amniotic sac intact. In the womb, a baby floats around in a fluid-filled membrane. Usually (but not always), this breaks at the onset of labor, whereupon you get a bunch of fluid running down your leg. This is what people mean when they say a pregnant woman’s “water” has broken.
Back in the day, a baby who was born with the amniotic membrane intact was said to be “born with a caul,” and this was considered a sign that the child would grow up to be a distinguished person in some way. (One of my kids was “born with a caul.”)
This is probably rare in a hospital birth, since hospitals will break a woman’s “water” to speed up labor, if it hasn’t already broken.
There are lots and lots of books about the birth process and how to deliver a baby. Home birthers usually familiarize themselves with all the how-to literature they can lay their hands on.
A good book for guys is “Emergency Childbirth.” It is a little manual for policemen, firemen, abulance personnel, taxicab drivers, and airline personnel–or basically anyone who might at some time have to deliver a baby on their own. It is very practical and straighforward and tells you all you need to know, but without telling you all the stuff you probably won’t need to know. While it is not likely that you’ll ever be in this situation, one of my female friends once had to deliver a baby. She knew nothing about it beforehand. There isn’t much to it, in a normal birth. Obstetricians used to be rather contemptuously called “baby catchers” by other doctors, because that was usually about the extent of their involvement.
I can’t picture either Jarek or Q ever volunteering to deliver a baby.
Like you say, if there is no one there able or willing to catch it, the woman can just push it out, and there it is. Wet and slimy.
Well put, Woody.
Reminds me of old WC Fields harangued by all the old biddies in town when all he wanted was a shot of whiskey with a beer chaser.
Never Give a Sucker an even break.
“A woman drove me to drink & I didn’t have the decency to thank her.”-WC Fields
Fields was brilliant and very risqué for his time. Claude (and Clyde) is another great name that’s gone out of style.
Their husbands all made enough money that these women didn’t need to work.
Ah, the good old days. Long before I was born. Time was, all a man had to do to buy a home and support a family was to reliably show up to work five days a week. And not gamble, or drink it all away, I suppose.
My grandpa essentially pulled a lever at a chemical factory in St. Louis for 35 years after WWII. He and my grandma raised three kids, and he retired early with a good half mil in the bank back in the late 80’s.
Grandma was into Women’s Lib big time, but maintained her sense of humor. (She’s still kicking, by the way. 99 years old, can’t remember shit, living in a memory care facility…but still living large, and never really had to worry about essentials, as he went to his job five days a week…reliably.)
Time was, the neighborhood milk man or the street sweeper could do the same for his family, albeit with less leisurely accoutrements.
My dad and mom did fine (both worked full time), but that 42k salary in 1984 didn’t go as far as it used to.
Now (according to a recent poll), most Americans don’t feel “secure” unless they bring in nearly 300k/yr. And they’re still basically broke, too.
We’ve stretched this lifestyle expectation to the limit. Every way to pull another dollar out of the masses who show up to work five days a week has been exploited.
It’s long since time to stock up on flour, rice, and baking powder…oddly enough, gambling and drinking it all away are still on the “not recommended” list.
@ MrMangoOnMyShoulder:
The Amish still raise large families with stay-at-home-wives. I think that many people could still raise a family on a single income, if they were willing to make the necessary sacrifices. Meaning that they couldn’t live in a McMansion in a snooty neighborhood.
My parents and the families in our neighborhood when I was growing up led pretty austere lives. I don’t think any family had more than one car. Most people had one TV and one telephone. Hardly anyone had AC–so mom did the ironing with an electric fan next to her in summer. A few people had large gardens and did a lot of canning. One family on our block had a milk cow and raised a pig some years. One of the moms sewed most of the family’s clothes. One family raised four pigs every year, plus a variety of poultry (sometimes turkeys).
I can somewhat understand why people aren’t willing to live that way these days. On the other hand, I’m not sure it would be any harder than the way people live these days.
You win today’s prize. And every day’s prize, and that prize is not being a pinhead. You are in fact, your own prize. Good for you.
What have you done? You have remarked on 2 people’s character, and you were right.
Tons of people, even/especially those who complain about affirmative action because it goes against meritocracy and judging by character not “identity” then go on in the next sentence to make vast pronouncements about black people and water sports or ((( ))), and women whonevershouldhavebeengiventhevote.
It’s a lot like trying to censor a censorship hearing. Zero self awareness. We are doomed.

That’s a good one.
Listened to Vivek at a small Republican gathering. This is a very smart, very articulate young guy, with a deeper understanding of what has happened to us, than most other politicians. Only flaw is the fixation on the ‘threat’ of China (Indian background or pandering?). He is obviously not going to win the nomination, but he would be a very good hire for Trump if he is elected.
“… but he would be a very good hire for Trump if he is elected.”
This is the plan. The trap.
And only the foolishly blind Trump would be the one not to see it.
Agreed. A sleeper weaving into the system, waiting for orders to awake.
yikes more die vershitty.
You are opposed to hiring a smart, articulate, and informed person because he is Indian?
The problem with DIE is that unqualified people are hired, not that qualified people should be passed over because of their ethnic background.
I’m still not holding my breath. More than Joe Biden would have to be taken out for anything to change.
500 need to go to get rid of Joe.
Probably 5000 need to be fired to clean up the mess those 500 made.
The corruption in the USA runs deep and wide. And that’s BEFORE the Oligarchs and MSM are ejected from power.
At the very highest level the plan long seems to have been the take down of the US. Supranationally. That constitution and all those well armed folk who think they are free…. just a problem. So kill the manufacturing, divide the population, crank enormously on immigration, and some decades later the US is toothless and failing. It was a good plan, compliance by idiot CEOs and the like was excellent, the population is stupid fat and bewildered, and streams of immigrants are coming in to put the final touches on the fall…..
The remarkable coordination of terrible covid responses on a global scale really opened my eyes. Prior I was of the view that while there were likely some inbred vampire squids operating with great power above the nation state, I did not think this monolithic.
Now I question even the war, I note Sputnik V (russian covid jab) is a spike jab (like J+J) and they had, quite some time back, over 60% uptake. Perhaps the war is just a variant of we have always been at war with eastasia?
Because the US is evil.
Ike warned and JFK died and then everyone else went along
I disagree near completely.
The US is being taken down by the Vsquids because it was or is squarely in the way of the general destruction of the nation state as is ongoing everywhere.
The US has a long tradition of freedom. Whether real or not it was a cherished heirloom of the citizenry, and many business, thought, and political leaders too. The engineering prowess and manufacturing strength were second to none. Well behaved, well educated folk literally everywhere garnering nobel prizes and introducing innovation, in 1972 a family could have a single breadwinner, own a house, put the kids through college and buy a new car every 3 years. Just astounding wealth.
Behind the scenes however it was never really such, at least not as I describe. But strong bones were there….. the evil was resident in the shadows and not in the hearts of common folk or even your average CEO. Strong bones…. and not dead yet despite the Vsquids best efforts. We’ll see. Godspeed to my american cousins. A republic if you can keep it.
“Is” is present tense.
You describe a past.
The hearts of common folk populate every inch of the bureaucratic leviathan from the military to the CDC.
The willing yes-men
The evil may not be in their hearts but it is in their minds when they rationalize their deeds. Their role.
Reply getting rather late.
I do not believe it is in their minds. I posit a reality where only 5 or 10k Vsquids and top minions, worldwide, know the whole genocidal build back better great reset dystopia, in all its malignant detail.
While a typical US general, or CEO, may be a run of the mill corrupted soul, their understanding does not extend to the whole ‘kill off most of the world and enslave the rest’ plan.
Even a cartel boss might pause at the reality of the Vsquid master plan.
So I do not believe in full on conscious evil in the majority, vast majority of folk whether ‘locally corrupt’ or not. Its a hopeful thought.
If “the kings of the East” are hired by God to overthrow the Federal Reserve Bank [ Mystery Babylon ] I don’t see how this is a bad thing. In fact, it is God’s answer to prayer.
“But they are godless Communists,” people protest. Well, Cyrus did not know God either, but this did not stop God from using him to accomplish His purposes, nor was God ashamed to call him a messiah.
“The US is being taken down by the Vsquids because it was or is squarely in the way of the general destruction of the nation state as is ongoing everywhere.”
I think this is probably true.
Britain has been trying to dismantle the USA since Benjamin Franklin sailed home from Paris. The USA is also now a bone in the WEF craw.
Unfortunately the Neocon cancer has metastasized to such an extent that the body politic has been weakened and cannot defend itself. Some limb(s) might have to be amputated.
Imagine, if you will, a body politic where the corruption is only skin deep, where corrupt and mendacious officials, politicians, CEOs, thought leaders, are NOT ‘in on’ the full on genocidal reality as is unfolding according to the Vsquids long held fantasies of 500 million souls left, all enslaved, and just a thin and tiny veneer of insiders.
Even a corrupt bought general making hay on death in the Ukraine might pause if they understood the death of billions is the goal. Our hope, the Vsquids greatest fear?
A simple idea might be the end of them. It IS possible.
Thanks to our host for providing a free forum for exchange of ideas.
King of the Mountain.
The WEF hierarchy knows they cannot rule the world with a strong USA.
So-o-o, the US must be taken down.
Enter Biden, Kerry, Garland, Austin to do the job.
Joe Average is not aware enough to see what is happening.
Or he does not give a damn.
What are the Vsquids?
That’s not proof. Your wife came from a better gene pool, that’s all.
I am looking forward to president Kamala she is so dumb, she is funny.
Half the power of the blob is the powerlessness of the Public.
One remembers that great Cherokee Chief who counseled against Blacks being acknowledged as members of the Tribe, saying, “Those Freedmen will suck you dry”. The Tribe votes against the Blacks, but the Blacks protested the decision and won in Court I believe.
Blacks trump Indians in our System. Hell, they trump everyone except the Tribe. It’s a damnable question since more Blacks equal more political power – but less money for American Blacks. All Blacks want access to the fruits of White slavery. More Blacks will come if African Blacks can profit from it. Will it be extended to the Blacks of Papuan New Guinea? The Aborigines of Australia as well?
11 million dollars after showing up late at work.

A Papuan is a resident of Papua, perhaps.
Careful Q: I defeated you anent the Ukraine.
LOL! Poking the Q. with another ‘anent’.
I would pay to watch a grammar and spelling face-off between Q and my 9-year old son.
Here we go again. What RFK said (informally, off the record), is not what the reporter is claiming that he “suggested”.
What an obvious attempt at a ‘gotcha’.

Why would a cabal try to preserve Jewish people, as regards the virus, then target Israel, in particular, with the clot shots?
1–they dont want Jews to live?
2–what Israel got was water shots? some think this is true.
3–they do want jews to live and the vax is good?
4–other reason[s].
Good point. RFK, despite his knowledge of the Vax, seems to think that covid was both real and deadly. If it was real, it was just another variety of the common cold, at least for most. Perhaps the severe form mutated down quickly?
The best way to preserve Israel would have been a fake disease and a fake vax for them. But it seems they have been given the real Vax.
They would preserve the Jews because they don’t want them to live?
5-It’s in the Bible somewhere…
You could look it up.
No idea what you are trying to say, malthuss. Israel was the first country to get multiple shots, with the consequence of multiple cases of myocarditis and heart attacks among young people.
The Israeli government basically sold their people to Pfizer.
The rich rule over [ sacrifice ] the poor.
Okay..they got vax not water shots.
The Jews who are among the powerful elites have always been willing to throw ordinary Jews under the bus. I sometimes think that ordinary Jews are, like blacks, residents of “the plantation”–except it’s a different plantation. The people who claim to be working to advance their interests are generally doing the exact opposite.
For one thing, you can see that many people now identify far leftist ideology with Jews–even though the “ordinary Jew” has historically been a conservative small businessman and, in the Midwest, usually a Republican. He is almost invariably a hard-headed, practical realist–except for matters pertaining to Judaism and his Jewish identity.
If you think about it, if there were some kind of plot to promote antisemitism, there could hardly be a better way to go about it than by making Jews the most prominent spokesmen for liberalism, sexual deviancy, and Hollywood filth. Maybe the Jewish elites want the Jews to be persecuted–or even dead.
“The hour is late for ‘Joe Biden’… pressure is mounting for some group of somebodies to arrange his exit from the scene.”
Whatever does or does not happen with Resident Biden is irrelevant at this point. Either way, the Deep Dark State will keep dragging our Nation and it’s hurting and beleaguered populace deeper in to the Globalist Collective Sewer Swamp Pit.
If We the People actually wanted to exert some form of influence over our Nation and its future (and our own) we would be allowed to select who get to run the Deep Dark State. But of course… that would never happen because We the People are given no such respect or choice in the matter and all the Dark State Crawlers are all alike anyway. You know – all that (stuff) we hear about that always ‘floats to the top’? So, not much of a choice for us there, either.
“How does that happen? The 25th Amendment… How the Blob deals with his successor, the distressing Ms. Harris, is another bridge to cross.”
Well, the first order of business will be to issue top-grade noise-cancelling head phones to everyone who has to physically be around her. Humans were not designed to be around that level of endless cackling and inane conversation punctuated by almost perpetual smirking and elementary-school-style giggling.
But when she is installed… The Wokesters will hail this as just another great day for Wokesterism and the dismantling of a Once Great Nation. Only problem with that is that no one other than She (and her fellow terminally-Woke) will be smiling and giggling. The rest of us will continue to ponder where did things begin to all go wrong and what the hell did we ever do to deserve to live out our precious Earthly years in the middle of – THIS?
No one ever promised us a Rose Garden. But neither should we be stuck with nothing around us but… Thorns. And cackling.
If the deep brain stimulation they give Joe on weekends for his Lewy Body Dementia (look it up, it fits all his behaviors) stops working entirely, they’ll just give Kamala a makeover.
Put the hair up or cut it shorter. Maybe glasses now and then, when the mood is serious.
Jackets with tailored skirts, just reaching to the bottom of the knee. Expensive solid color, near-neutral fabric. Kitten heel pumps. NO laughing, strict scripts that she follows to the word. Minimal questions. Drops the voice a tad lower, no slang. Always an entourage around her doing the West Wing stride.
–> Right now her job is to specifically be dumber than Joe. <–
She's supposed to make him look more competent. "Geez, but if we impeach him we're stuck with Harris, better not"
A feature, not a bug. When it stops being useful it will go away.
IF it stops being useful. I say Biden stays unless he drops right dead.
Interesting theory. You may be right.
WayfaringStranger: “If the deep brain stimulation they give Joe on weekends for his Lewy Body Dementia… stops working entirely, they’ll just give Kamala a makeover… Right now her job is to specifically be dumber than Joe.”
These two caricatures are clear evidence to anyone honestly watching of just how irrelevant those two ‘Offices’ of ‘High-Level Public Service’ truly are (and have been for a good while now). No one in their right mind believes that either of them are in control of anything – much less their own selves.
The fact that They are ‘where’ They appear to be in ‘Those Esteemed Offices’ is just more proof of how deeply and disingenuously We the People are being trolled and dissed and made fun of. No attempt in the slightest is being made any more to make things look believable.
It’s bad that we are being trolled like this. And it might be even worse in seeing how so many of We the People seem to be quite fine with this kind of thing going on and becoming our National default ‘leadership’ program.
They think paternity fraud is hilarious. Men having to pay for and raise another man’s child? What a knee slapper!
People this degraded can be made to believe in anything and applaud their own destruction.
You seem to be incapable of consecutive thought.
Ben and Jerry should know that we owe the native Americans reparations. They should deed over all their stock in the company to this chief. I can see this company being successful with a name change. Something like “Bendwunangi and Jeronimo’s Ice Cream.” They’d have some injuns faces on the box for a new trademark. I’d sure buy injun ice cream – wouldn’t you? .
/unilever owns Ben n Jerry ice cream.
and BnJ has donated to murder inc, planned parenthood.
I got a thousand bucks that says there ain’t gonna be an election in 2024.
If there is, it will be for show only.
It’s all going to be rigged, as long as the votes are kept and tallied by corruptly coded computers.
Nothing has changed since the last election, and all the same people are still in their positions. So I don’t expect anything different this time around. That expendable half of the population that voted for Biden first time and will the second time will do what they’re programmed to do.
They found a dead guy at the Obamas.
https://www.aol.com/paddle-boarder-43-feared-drowned-171530207.html
“A spokesperson for MSP refused to confirm or deny a potential link between the deceased man and the Obamas’ residence. It’s also unclear whether Mr Obama is currently staying at the residence.”
https://www.aol.com/paddle-boarder-43-feared-drowned-171530207.html
Wow, I bet this dead guy also has connections to the Clintons. They seem to kill off a suspiciously high level of their foes.
Not to mention, a Black paddleboarder, really? What are the odds of that? I mean, that is pretty much a sport that the Blacks should stay away from since water activities do not seem to be their forte.
I pointed that out to someone once, and they called me a racist.
Martha’s Vineyard is very popular with black tourists.
One of the towns is a traditional resort for the black bourgeoisie.
Probably all bought and paid for with BLM funds.
How well do they tip waiters? Blacks are notoriously demanding as patrons but notoriously stingy when it comes to tipping.
A new addition to the list. You can be sure when you hear about black paddleboarders, birdwatchers, or joggers, that’s only part of the story.
He was his chef.
Obama sent him out to get fresh Mahi Mahi, like the kind he had back in Indonesia… er, Hawaii
The circumstances of chef, Tafari Campbell’s, death will be all hushed up. I doubt we’ll ever know what happened.
it took them 24 hours to find his body which was not far from where he was seen going under. I read that one of the search personnel said he had head trauma.
It will all get buried.
The key elements of potential U.S. economic and political collapse are repeated endlessly.
But what are the indications of cultural collapse? Is this process largely independent of political and economic instability or do these processes go hand in hand?
Are there also stages of cultural collapse?
Maybe back in the 1950s one could argue that American culture still exhibited a fairly robust obedience to moral obligations, demands, or constraints.
Maybe by the 1980s one could argue that the inadequacy of the counter-culture of the 1960s was on full display–that the assumption/belief that some kind of innate human innocence would prevail or gradually emerge once our character structures were liberated from any real moral constraints–appeared dead in the water.
Maybe by the early 2020s one could argue that the carriers of impulse and desire were now largely in charge of our culture.
What does it mean if the old moral taboos, including those within Christianity, are never coming back?
Is it possible to have a society without moral authority?
If there is no moral authority, is their only power (coercive discipline on a massive scale) but without moral constraint?
If there is no moral authority, is their only power (coercive discipline on a massive scale) but without moral constraint
It would seem so. Great observations.
Impulse and desire with no moral constraints whatsoever. Perfect summary.
Like dogs.
The source of moral authority is God.
The loss of moral authority is the denial of God’s presence in society.
Read the Bible, you do not want to mess with God.
The decline of the USA has all the signs of God “looking the other way”.
If you believe like I do that the creation of the USA was a God given occurrence, then we have just been the last of a long line of failures.
The source of moral authority is people.
Their conscience, but mostly their fears.
Their basic needs codified.
The people invented god to put the fear of god into those they feared.
Not exactly morality at work when fear is keeping people in line. Fear of god.
You want more people afraid to be evil
When we need more people less inclined to be evil
We are not the last in a long line of failures.
Never underestimate humanity’s ability to keep on failing and failing big.
Ok, John. If you don’t want Government running herd on the Banks and Corporations, then it can be Big Church. We can be a Theocracy.
But someone has to do it. They won’t regulate themselves…..
Agreed Jarek.
The government regulation has created cronyism . It is the government that tries to increase its power.
The loss of God in government is a main cause.
All avenues are evil right now, there may be no way out except the collapse and resurrection.
What form can that take?
Well we can agree that far: All is lost without virtue.
But we immediately deviate: How can a system (Capitalism) that only cares about profit ever foster human virtue?
I take my stand in the Vedas. Not all human beings are the same. And the businessman qua businessman is not one of the higher ones. Some of the higher ones may be in business of course. And alas, some of the lower ones worm their way into government and the church.
But in general, the higher must guide (not destroy as Marx and Mao said) the lower. And that means keeping the lower types out of guardianship positions.
Newsom be da man and we gotta keep Joe going until the election so Harris doesn’t tank the party. The next 1.5 years will be interesting. I think they would off Harris if the speaker of the house was still Pelosi…… ticka ticka ticka TIMING
Another clock that’s ticking is the one for Sen. Fetterman. If he can hold out until Aug. 1, and it looks like he will, the Pennsy Governor can appoint a new (Dem.) Senator. If he had checked out before Aug. 1, a new election would have to be held.
BRH,
I wasn’t aware of the Aug 1 date, thank you for explaining that. I predicted before that Fetterman won’t finish his term. We’ll see.
Doc,
Tocka, Tocka, Tocka, Timing is the thing, it’s true…
Newsome = soldier of the AntiChrist?
I just learned about this man, this candidate, last night watching his interview with John Stoessal. This fellow is even better than RFK.
Up in the comments a ways it is asserted he comes with scrubbed WEF connections and an education paid for by a member of the Soros family.
www*dot*forbes.com/sites/mattnovak/2023/05/03/wikipedia-editor-says-they-were-paid-to-change-vivek-ramaswamys-page/?sh=5a92f58b51a3
Where did he come from?
Just like that, out of the blue, comes an unknown individual, let alone a candidate, who miraculously shoots to #2 in no time.
He says all the right things. Pun intended, but they are the right sort of things Trump says. He is red-pilled but sugarcoated. More palatable than The Don.
But again, he says what Trumpsters want to hear. Just like that.
A man whose education was funded by (a) Soros, opened businesses and facilities in China, was named a young global leader by the WEF, well, he just joins the dance, just like that.
Now, it may not be saying much, leapfrogging the likes of the human tumor Christie, What’s-his-name Scott, and the anthropomorphized fallen timber better known as Mike Pence, but he is now ahead of DeSantis, the human equivalent of a black hole where charm disappears.
Just like that. Charming the disillusioned on social media. Nothing to see here.
If Ramaswamy participated in the WEF and Davos, he is pure Deep State and needs to be dismissed.
Trump is still the only candidate that is anti Deep State of the bunch. Time for a third party, the only expression of what is really going to make a difference.
He’s got his explanations
It was a scholarship, who wouldn’t take the money?
The WEF nominated me, I forced them to recall their nomination.
These may or may not be true.
But what is definitely true is that he is here from nowhere and the media criticism has been scant and mild.
When they get rid of Trump they know they need someone that holds similar positions, ostensibly, to serve as a release valve.
I never even looked up Ramas’s background, but it would not surprise me at all if he is WEF.
I have learned that my initial impressions of most people are correct.
Guy oozes untrustworthyness.
@ Night Owl:
I have the same impression about him. He’s not very good at faking sincerity and thus probably should not be in politics at all.
Thankee, E.L.
And H/T to your dissection of the glib ro-BOT.
Many if not most are on a hero hunt, fraught with a quiet unacknowledged desperation for an easy way out of a problem that is much too big and institutionalized for one person’s efforts to change anyway.
And it’s a house of many ill-lit rooms because they like it that way. It is their operating environment where thrive deception, extortion and backstabbing. Murder too.
I’m just glad (encouraged) that even with all of their throwing shade and having the keys to everything—being professionally employed at it after all—that glimpses of the truth still get through so we can still be dutifully outraged, that we continue to question their actions, and shine our lights against their enterprise while picking up new stalwarts to our cause of the common citizen.
Think “Fanfare for the Common Man.”
What we have learned about the power of these Three Letter agencies is according to them they no longer are required to play with anything resembling a rule book. The magic words “National Security” have become their get-out-of-jail-free card. They have become far too assured of their place in the power pantheon. They make and break Presidents. Publicly, ffs!
And where are the courts? Where is the Department of Justice?
We should have paid attention back when GW Bush called the Constitution “just an old piece of paper” or words to that effect.
They’ve since marched us mostly complacently to this place from where we now call out to each other seeking each other’s strength to keep on keeping on.
So many forces for the ages on a collision course right here in our time. Bandits have taken over the White House, the Congress is on a military intel industrial pharmaceutical leash, too chickenshit to follow the Constitution, the Supremes are… are…
Welcome to Clusterfuck Nation. We’ve really, truly done it this time.
So adios to one more tinhorn hero.
Next?
How could I, but I did, leaving out tech and media from … “military intel industrial pharmaceutical leash”
“Media” is too benign a term
It exudes impartiality
Let’s not give them that.
Until recently we accepted infotainment “media” as state sanctioned information.
Now we know that it is state crafted information. The largest purveyors being the “tech” sector and its social, video, and chat/text mediums
Spot on. And thanks for “fanfare for the common man.” What great and solemn music. Remember they played it near the ruins of the WTC shortly after “that day?”
Maybe they want an Indian national to take the reins here in the US as they have in the UK, etc.
They already have Harris.
Oh right – lol. I forget sometimes that she’s not a fake half-black, as the Mighty Wurlitzer pushed us to believe.
Edge Lord,
It took me a while, well into adulthood, but charm (or any other term to describe likeability) is the absolute last criterion that carries any weight with me as a voter. I don’t care about looks, warmth, whether they are telegenic, whether they are a good speaker, I simply don’t care. I look at their track record in life, I look at what their positions are and what they are promising to do, and I look at the likelihood of them being able to keep any of their promises.
Thanks for your post.
“What if we hadn’t bombed Hiroshima? Oppenheimer doesn’t need to ask” Washington Examiner today
One Bomb to rule them all and in Darkness Bind Them!
Yeah, and then you have the Barbie movie that is trying to say that patriarchy is the most evil, vile force in the world. All women in the Barbie movie want to see men subjected and dead.
I read someone where a female Hollywood figure posed the theory that the bomb would have never been necessary if Oppenheimer was a woman. This is the foolish non-logical way some of these women “think”.
Oppenheimer is predictive programming meant to acclimate the populace to the idea of nuclear war.
The Barbie numbers are fake because they need to make Mission:Impossible 7 look bad.
I mean, it’s the Current Year. We certainly can’t have a 2 hour, 23 minute film of a white guy kicking ass in the company of five beautiful women.
No siree, Bob.
The idea of nuclear’s power
cowbell81,
Barbie, now there’s a movie that I do not think I could be paid to go watch. The really sad thing is that Ruth Handler’s original 1959 creation seemed to be (partially) about empowerment and different standards of beauty (although I think all the dolls were thin). But you could be an astronaut!
Now the iconic brand is being used to peddle toxic masculinity in the same way as when Gillette first made me aware of the term. I have never purchased another Gillette product since.

What a concept, obviously from a deep thinker. Whoever said this should run for president.
Looks like Hunter Biden raked in $1.3 million on the sale of his art. He must be a great artist. Where did he go to art school? And where did he serve his apprenticeship. Van Gogh sold only one painting his entire life. Hunter could be a natural like Rembrandt or Michaelangelo ~ he don’t need no art school or apprenticeship. Suck it up Proles, while the elite rub your noses in the sh#t they’re doling out.
More proof that the “art” world is largely a big laundering industry.
There is a good documentary about it, I forget the name, though.
Was it “Made you Look: A True Story About Fake Art? (2020)
I must have missed this one, never heard about it. If you consider this culture, pretty much everything I know about things being produced ended in February 2020 when they were shutting us down due to a fake virus. I gave up keeping up with the Kardashians on a high society level.
Some days I don’t even realize it is 2023 already and I need to remind myself of that fact. There is a huge blank void in my life between 2020 and now, and I really don’t care.
“More proof that the “art” world is largely a big laundering industry.”
Exactly what Sasha Latypova said today under Igor Chudov’s blog!
igorchudov.substack.com/p/finally-a-good-way-to-sell-your-amateur
From Sasha (first comment):
“”Modern art” was promoted and built up by the CIA in large part because it is a perfect vehicle for money laundering. The other advantage of course is dumbing down the culture overall and elimination of skill as a metric of value.”
I heard about this long ago, but I think I always knew intrinsically that it was so.
Modern art and architecture are designed to depress the human spirit.
When one considers that the entire hippie culture of the 1960s was a psyop, it makes even more sense.
Postmodernism – one of the biggest psyops ever.
A lot of modern “music” and “literature” is the same way. We know that the “book deal” is often a money-laundering scam, but much of modern literature and popular music is deliberately aimed at destroying Western culture and civilization–although good books and good music are still out there. A lot of very good books are tainted with some obligatory DIE theme, even at that.
I have also read (I don’t know where) that some modern authors are not authors at all, but what you would call a “brand.” That is, books are churned out in a formula manner by ghost writers and published under the name of the author whose name is the “brand.”
I don’t read lot of modern literature, since I stopped going to our local book club, but I’ve seen some examples of this–or what appear to be examples. Barbara Kingsolver’s “Poinsonwood Bible” does not appear to me to be written by the same person as were her later novels, which I would call pure “formula” books that are maybe just a notch above Harlequin Romances. (Or maybe not.) Maybe once you establish your name-recognition in the book world (or the New York Times has provided you with a niche and a candle), you can stop writing and let other people do it.
” You’d be surprised how many of the voting lemmings don’t know about Clinton’s sale of missile technology to China for campaign contributions. ”
— Tuco22
I just found out.
( I have never had the legal right to vote , so I guess I technically get to avoid the , ” voting Lemmings ” label . )
But I’m not remotely surprised.
I never really paid much attention to Clinton , my thoughts were absorbed in things that happened earlier , around the time of the ” Reagan Revolution ” .
At the time my reaction to the United States offshoring its industry was , ” Have you lost your fucking mind ? ”
Surprisingly ( ? ) it wasn’t until roughly 20 years later that I started to think that offshoring your industry equated to a form of treason.
If there is any validity in such a characterization , then whatever Clinton sold China amounts to an after – the – fact betrayal years after the Titanic of Treason had already sailed.
Clinton was the face needed for the WTO and NAFTA.
Who do you want selling that to the easily influenced Americans, George H. Bush or Bill Clinton.
Offshoring HAD to be sold by the Democrats, y’know the working man’s party.
Everything is an act in need of the most appropriate actors for the most pivotal scenes.
Just got home from watching “Sound of Freedom”.
All God’s children are not for sale!!!!!
I put a challenge out to this blog for every soul on it to go see this movie and wait to watch Cavazeil’s (sp) talk at the end.
I want to remind everyone that part of the source of the evil in this movie is the Mob running the government of this country. There is more slavery today than any other time in history.
Any one who believes that an open border is proper is a contributor to this evil. Jim wants everyone to see this movie. It was produced five years ago and forces, which he did not ID, have been fighting its release since.
You think you have had bad vibes about the Democrats and their fighting the wall up to now.
Go see the movie, it will crystallize your feelings toward the evil elements of this country. Maybe it might change a few votes.
Mary thinks the Mob funded the movie, making it into a Limited Hangout.
There is no good anywhere according to Mary.
Why are you putting words in her mouth? She never said or insinuated any of that. Where’d that come from Jarek?
I remember what he is referencing.
Cynicism meets solipsism.
Only I can be sure of my motives, I think.
I posted that the producers of the movie actually do have ties to the same organizations that traffic. That’s just facts, people can do with them what they will. I asked the question if it was a limited hangout. Seems it could be.
The position of people pointing this out is that not only the producer ties, but also the fact that the movie shows trafficking but doesn’t name names, which is typical of most of the limited hangout stuff.
If you don’t name names, then nothing happens… therefore they could feel comfortable putting the movie out there. That’s how that works.
Some of the NGOs that are taking donations for this stuff are tied to the people doing it, that’s been known for a long time.
BRH is wrong. Who knew such a thing was possible?
I did.
Btw, Mary has studied this stuff deeply. And the evil ones are very clever. She is often right – even though she often goes too far, assuming full knowledge to all “actors”. Is there any evidence the movie makers are corrupt? I don’t think she has provided any. Are people tasked with stopping traffickers actually traffickers themselves or running cover for them? She has provided evidence of that.
Anyone who sees this movie and then supports the open border is evil by definition.
Right now, the Democratic Party nationwide and the RINOs of the Deep State who criticize the wall are the vanguard of the evil.
Mary is not amongst that group.
DeSantis gives a position on open borders and it’s all deep state talking points about fentanyl and cartels. Bogeymen.
The banal simplifications thst don’t wade into populism, nationalism, and culture.
Cobarde
Yes. I am not among that group.
I pointed out that the producers have dubious ties to people who are traffickers. That’s not an opinion, it’s fact. Sad but true.
However, I don’t claim to know their motives, just that it is curious. One of the people whose commentary and work I often read is adamant that many of the backers are also traffickers. Their aim is to get it out into the public but not name names, as I responded to BRH above. I saw sufficient proof that producers are tied to the Clinton Foundation, for instance.
I also never trust Hollywood folks or anything that is touted by the mainstream media (for instance, the movie is at #3 or so I read, which is not possible if it had been blacked out by the media).
In any case, it’s worth a discussion. I hate knowing that the movie might not have 100% good intentions or have been co-opted by the evil elites, but that might be the case.
Totally agree
Polly St. George delved into the background of the making and funding of this this movie. I am inclined to be skeptical.

Thanks. I do not feel like delving again, so this saves me time.
Appreciate it.
Remember always, that movies that manipulate your emotions do so for a reason. Not always good reasons. Usually not, actually.
JohnAZ,
Thanks for posting this! I’ve posted several times about the movie, which I saw on the pre-release date of July 3rd. It really is worth seeing.
The movie was finished in 2019 and was sitting on 21st Century Fox’s shelves when Disney bought them also in 2019. Disney let the movie continue sit on the shelf.
Angel Studios bought the film early this year and released it with a pretty paltry marketing budget. I’ve also read that Goya Foods helped out, but I’ve read nothing else that confirms this.
Its a very well made film about a horrific societal issue and should be supported.
Mainstream media is touting it now as the hit of the year:

Is there a more accurate word for them?
Some say dysphemism?
Yet others say intentional malapropisms. Aptronym? Nah.
Aptonym? Nope
Gag name?
Hey, I don’t want to see name puns because they are cheap and stupid and they degrade the conversation. There’s nothing more metaphysical to it. — JHK Admin
Late 90’s had Michael Savage punching them out by the minute.
Try and find them now. I implore you.
The internet is punitive
I find it interesting that the name puns are what he hates most about some of the comments. It cracked me up.
It’s probably just low-hanging and easily identifiable fruit among all the dross that appears here.
Their inventors of course think they are extremely witty. Generally the “witty “look at me” monikers are just adolescent.

“US Meat May Cause Next Pandemic”
Headline in USA Today.
Poorly regulated meat industry is the reason.
Note how “the next pandemic” has been “normalized.”
If the US meat industry is indeed poorly regulated, then it seems to me THAT should be the headline.
I did a search for the headline and got this:
“The next pandemic could spring from the US meat supply, new report finds. The next global pandemic could come from the United States. That’s the sobering message of a report from Harvard Law School and New York University, examining how humans, livestock and wild animals interact here.”
Why is the Harvard Law School doing research on meat regulations? What is the message re “humans, livestock, and wild animals ” interactions?
Why is this suddenly a problem now?????
Looks like some kind of preprogramming.
I wonder what Alan Savory, the fellow who uses livestock to ecologically degraded grasslands (by means of planned grazing) and simultaneously produce high-quality meat would have to say about this?
Aren’t they busy pumping mRNA into all our meat products?
This would seem like a logical cover story for that effort.
” to ecologically degraded grasslands
That is supposed to be
” to ecologically RESTORE degraded grasslands”
(incomplete edit)
The pandemic language is definitely programming and mind control preparation. And so what you’re telling me is the dude’s last name is literally Savory! Maybe everything really is a friggin psyop?? Not today Satan. Good nite.
Savory is a good guy.
But his last name is Savory. And given the subject matter is almost seems too coincidental. Could they be making us think they are putting mrna materials in beef when in reality they are actually doing something else?
It’s a different subject. The dude talking about the possibility of meat contamination is not Savory.
Savory is a guy who advocates for intensive grazing to restore grasslands and conserve water.
Islander brought him up to contrast him to the one predicting a meat-induced pandemic.
“And so what you’re telling me is the dude’s last name is literally Savory!”
You can lead a horse (or a cow?) to water, but you can’t make it drink.
One of my neighbors is a big fan of Alan Savory and uses his rotational grazing methods to raise sheep–with great success. My neighbor is an interesting guy. He’s one of those fundamentalist Christians who believe the earth is only 6,000 years old, and is the son of Missionaries to some place in South America. So he spent much of his childhood living in a grass shack and speaks the Wai-Wai language.
I think he has some kind of engineering background, as he has rigged up some mechanized devices for moving the sheep around automatically while he’s at work.
He also gives terrible directions. I went out to visit him once, and had to pry every particular of his location out of him. As in, “Okay, which way do I turn when I come to the corner where the old windmill used to be?” There was no street address for the place, and after I got to what I believed to be his location, there was no dwelling anywhere around. Just open fields and distant woods. So I drove around for awhile in 100° heat (and no AC in the car) looking for some sign of a house. Turns out, it was WAY back in the distant woods that were off on the horizon. (He had not mentioned that.) I finally gave up. Then a friend of his called me and asked if I had forgotten that we were going to meet up.
He lives in a strawbale house that he built for a cost of about $5,000, has no running water, cooks on a Coleman stove (which also provides some winter heat), and uses a composting toilet of the more primitive kind. (Some composting toilet systems are quite fancy.) He is happy as a pig in mud. He also has a good job and makes good money, so he does not live this way out of necessity. A likeable, highly skilled, industrious, and interesting guy.
Chris Martenson may have recently observed that the Federal Reserve officials actually “Front Run” their own decisions in making self-interested investments in the Stock Market.

You can tell when the unflappable Chris Martenson is really upset and enraged about the government corruption when he remarks:

“Different Strokes for Different Folks”
Do you remember that crappy Woke TV show called “Different Strokes” that featured that weird diminutive black guy Gary Coleman who had some congenital defect that made him small and non threatening to white people…cute…?
Gary Coleman later married a white woman twice his size.
She probably pushed him around?
Big Women….
I think that in Alaska the number of men outnumber the number of women by 10 to 1?
Big women….
One woman for every ten men. That must be one helluva woman? Think about it….
There are so many things I could say. But it’s early in the week and not a good time to get lured into a trap so i’ll be good for now 😉
Naw. Think again. Back in the day when it was a lot more disproportionate—and not nearly so much as you’ve suggested—a gal came up with a T-shirt-bumpersticker meme for the ages though.
“Alaska, where the odds are good, but the goods are odd.”
That statement was quite true enough when considering some of the societal outcasts that have shown up here from the Lower 48.

You know how some guys at work have a “work wife” and then a regular wife back at home? Well, if it is okay with you, could you be my CFN wife here? lol We could start a new trend.
Puck,
No doubt she forced him into marriage. He did not want to consummate the marriage, but someone put him up to it….
Is that a rimshot I hear?
Poor Gary couldn’t find any roles as he got older and not much bigger. He couldn’t understand this and it tormented him. He became a security guard in a Hollywood parking lot. He got into a conflict with a White woman who got the best of him. He said bitterly, I’m ninety pounds of nothing.
At some point he did marry some White skank who sold pictures of him in his hospital bed during his final illness.
Different Strokes apparently really did a number on all those kids. The childhood actor gig ain’t all its cracked up to be, assuming you want to live a long and normal life afterwards.

Yeah I did hear that the whole point of the film was to get people to basically agree to chip their kids. But then that begs the question as to why the media has been so adamant to condemn the movie as qanon and do everything it can to get people not to watch. Seems like they would sorta say its all cray cray but check it out. Get people mad and all. See this is the problem with conspiracy theory land. At some point you get close to a boundary where all the sudden everything becomes a friggin psyop. You may begin to think you are a psyop too. This is not good. Step back and come into the light!!
” But then that begs the question as to why the media has been so adamant to condemn the movie as qanon and do everything it can to get people not to watch. ”
Well, maybe to get them to watch it.
Kind of like “banned in Boston,” In the old days.
Paired with a huge publicity effort.
It is getting huge exposure.
Who is behind all the publicity?
If the MSM really wanted to suppress it, they would.
Like the really good documentaries that name names, which languish in obscurity.
Would you mind recommending the documentaries? I am interested to check them out for sure. I have not seen SoF.
I meant documentaries in general.
I am sure there are decent documentaries on child trafficking.
But for starters, you could look at what I already linked.
Chipping kids is never mentioned in the movie.
Nor was it mentioned when they announced covid-19.
John: Think.
Sigh.
Yes. They often know things that other people don’t know at the expense of forgetting what ordinary people know.
They don’t want people to watch the movie. That Islander thinks they do, reminds me of a guy who thought Hitler was Jewish and that Nazism was a Jewish plot.
But it IS true that the Jews came out on top, using the fact of a White nation trying to defend itself against Internationalism as proof that the Jews are the best people in the world and the chosen leaders of humanity. Most people here believe that to some degree or at least conform to the taboo of never speaking about the Jews. That RFK did so is proof of his evil for some. For others, like Beryl and Islander, it simply isn’t possible since they’ve already put him on a pedestal. Thus they deny their very eyes and ears – or simply lie about it.
Judging from the trailer alone – the movie seems to focus on far away places and the trafficking of brown kids. Thus the White Savior complex is strengthened. What about our kids being taken? The big villain seems to be a Southeastern Asian lady, with a great evil face – good acting I hope.
” That Islander thinks they do, . . . .”
This is kind of what I meant by “giant turd.”
Do a search for “Sound of Freedom Box Office.”
I don’t know why I come here.
You know things that other people don’t know and don’t know things that those same people DO know.
Everything has to be fitted into the Procrustean Bed of your Neo-Marxist frameworks – and that takes a lot of stretching and cutting.
In other words, you refuse to grow out of what should have been left behind decades ago.
Ah. That is actually an observation I didn’t think of but now that you point it out it is very clear. What about all of the American children who go missing each year? What about American children within our borders being trafficked? Thank you for that reminder/insight.
Maybe they’re being politically correct, hoping that will give their movie more of a chance of being seen and their message heard. I can forgive it if it’s just a temporary tactic.
Then why all the free publicity if they don’t want people to watch it?
You’re always far behind on the reasons behind things. You must take things very literally, all the time.
The old saying (very true) that any publicity is good publicity perhaps. Look at Trump’s campaign in 2016.
Islander,
Your second link worked fine.
No, I have no intention of supporting chipping kids as a way to combat trafficking.
I found clip #5 the most interesting. The narrator says the child trafficking industry has become bored and their new fetish is trans kids. She talks about how the effect of confusing kids about their sexuality, encouraging kids to go around their parents for gender affirming care, and taking puberty blockers all make trans kids easier and more profitable targets for traffickers.
It never even crossed my mind that puberty blockers make the child more saleable for more years. Duh.
The speaker in clip #5 was supporting Gays Against Grooming and advocating for people to go see The Sound of Freedom.
People are going way too far down the rabbit hole, except the White Rabbit is not there.
If you remember the Mel Gibson film, not the one where he is a suicidal cop with a mullet living in an airstream above Malibu, but something, something, torture the Christ, the advanced marketing was telling everyone that this is the movie “they don’t want you to see”
They even had people people howling about blood libel and hate inciting, and all the tropes.
Worked wonders.
May have broke records.
There is a lot of money to be made in (scarcity) not wanting to sell one something.
Mainstream theatres are mostly refusing to show it. You’re missing a lot here.
The Passion of the Christ was shown in theatres. The Tribe was very bitter about that. Some of them care about more than just money you see. In that they’re superior to White businessmen for the most part.
“You are missing a lot here.”
Really? Your synapses must have misfired so that you said “You are” instead of “I am.”

Their greed is getting the best of them, perhaps. AMC was running it but harassing patrons by trying to refund their tickets and if they showed up, by not running the air conditioning in the theatre it was playing in.
Do you deny that many hated the Passion of the Christ? Yet it was a huge hit. The latter would have banned if they could but it got thru because of greed.
Sin sells? So does virtue, Islander!
Mel hangs out with people who are traffickers, sorry.
Hollywood is a big smokescreen.
Islander,

I consider myself to be in the political equivalent of the Kuiper Belt. And yet still miraculously sometimes sundry somebodies can hear my distant yelling lol. I do admit that I am experiencing difficulty in envisioning the removal of the installed crepuscular gloom from the WH. But since he was installed he can surely be uninstalled and placed in the recycle bin I suppose. Gosh, look at what happened to Obama’s personal chef.

Song of the Witches: “Double, double toil and trouble”
BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
(from Macbeth)
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder’s fork and blind-worm’s sting,
Lizard’s leg and howlet’s wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Cool it with a baboon’s blood,
Then the charm is firm and good.
Jarek: Personally I love bubbles. I feel carbonation is a drug and I partake via cooled fluids.
Have you seen the movie The Witch, Yaros? Quite good and Anya Taylor-Joy too!
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble. – Jar quoting WS
===========
On the wall above the stove in the house I grew up in my mother painted this same Shakespeare quote.
‘Ok, John. If you don’t want Government running herd on the Banks and Corporations, then it can be Big Church. We can be a Theocracy.’ J
‘Agreed Jarek.
The government regulation has created cronyism . It is the government that tries to increase its power.
The loss of God in government is a main cause.
All avenues are evil right now, there may be no way out except the collapse and resurrection.
What form can that take?’ John

Baloney. Most all religions are fantasies created to sooth the psyche, make money, and have power.
‘There is no greater social evil than religion. It is the cancer in the body of humanity. Human credulity and superstition, and the need for comforting fables, will never be extirpated, so religion will always exist, at least among the uneducated. The only way to manage the dangers it presents is to confine it entirely to the private sphere, and for the public domain to be blind to it in all but one respect: that by law no one’s private beliefs should be allowed to cause a nuisance or an injury to anyone else.’
