Defining the Problem

 

Well, If the Experts Say So.....

Here ya go!!

Would you like to live forever? Well, some experts say you might.

Last week, a former Google engineer said he believes that humans will achieve immortality within the next eight years.

Ray Kurzweil - who has an 86 per cent success rate with his predictions - thinks that advances in technology will quickly lead to age-reversing 'nanobots'.

While it sounds far-fetched, scientists have been looking for years into ways we can regenerate our cells, or upload our minds to a computer....

Experts!!  Like Fauci, but not Government employed!

Is Trump a Republican?

 Let's ask the obvious question here, which Local Pravda's reporters don't find helpful since their objective is to divide the Republican party.

Is Trump a Republican?

That depends entirely on how you define the term "Republican," doesn't it?

If you accept the definition which was operative from roughly 1930-2000, Trump most certainly is NOT a Republican.  That Republican Party was the bankers, the (military)-industrialists, the Globaloney-impose-democracy-for-all bunch, the country-club low-tax/profit above all/screw the workingman bunch.  When you read the article, two prominent leftovers from that era are quoted.  One writes for a small-circulation magazine, the other retired.

But if you dig back a bit further in Pubbie history, you find Teddy Roosevelt, described as a "progressive" for his populist Square Deal, trust-busting, food and drug regulations, and railroad regs.  It is interesting to note that TR was also a Globaloney Guy--and it cost him the Presidency.  

The Trump Republican party was foreshadowed by Patrick Buchanan's rebellion against GHWBush's feckless globalism and Red China-philia (which the Reds tossed back into his face.)  PJB was an out-and-out populist America First-er, just like JFK was.  Of course, JFK's assassination ended the Democrat Party of the 1930-1965 era in favor of massive Government and massive "social spending AND war" programs.  But the PJB populism did not die.  Rather, it grew, especially as the "new" Democrat Party of the LBJ/Clinton/Obama era revealed its face to an increasingly horrified public.

Enter Trump.  He's a big spender, soft on crime, New York loudmouth with a glaringly obvious womanizing problem (unlike that of JFK, LBJ, and WJC, whose womanizing was buried by the presstitutes.)  But he had an America First agenda, loud and proud.  Re-home manufacturing to the USA!!  FAIR trade tariffs with such as China!!  STOP the invasion at the border, along with its drug-trade and child-prostitution camp-followers.  KILL Leviathan Government regulations, leaving only the essentials.  STOP foreign adventures-with-guns which get Americans killed, do nothing for the foreign citizens, but which enrich the military-industrial complex beyond the dreams of avarice!!

It helped that his infected-pustule Democrat opponent was Hillary.

Is Trump a "Republican"?

Only if you think that actual Americans who are not bankers or defense contractors, and who grok the reality of Communist China, want ABC's in their schools, like good-paying industrial jobs, and who are revolted by Democrat drag-queen and psychiatric case trannies, are Republicans.

Mark Graul and Christian Schneider need not apply.  This is a Party reserved for America First Americans--for the time being.

The Foppish Are a Signal

 The fops, the compromisers, the "tolerate this" bunch........they are a signal, and not a good one.

Here Bongino finds a landmark set of remarks from Camille Paglia on the de-masculinization of America.

It's short, to the point, and damned important.

Have you taken your male offspring camping?  To the range?  Do they know how to use basic tools?

Get to it.

Loudoun County Schools: Bizarro-World

Most of you recall the Loudoun County schools case.

You won't believe this chapter.

The former Northern Virginia schools superintendent charged with covering up a rape by a gender-bending student showed up to court Thursday wearing earrings and painted nails, in the latest twist in a saga that has captivated the nation....

Nobody on the Board noticed any odd behavioral tics on this guy while he was super?

Really??

At the Masters' Tournament

This is another reason that we don't attend the Masters' tournament.

DC Circuit Goes Totes Statist

This should get SCOTUS review.

A divided three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia on April 7 upheld the U.S. Department of Justice’s novel use of a felony evidence-tampering statute against Jan. 6 criminal-case defendants....

The case began over the Department of "Justice"'s criminal charges against dozens of J6 political prisoners.  A district judge tossed the charges on the basis that the law being used by DoJ did not apply to the cases at hand.  His ruling was appealed; a DC circuit panel of three favored DoJ.

... the majority said the law applies to any effort to obstruct an “official proceeding,” including the ceremonial tallying of Electoral College votes by the U.S. Congress....

 ...Nichols ruled that federal law under 18 § U.S.C. 1512(c) does not apply to the conduct of the defendants because the statute was intended by Congress to have a narrow, limited focus related to the destruction of documents. It’s part of a section of the U.S. Code titled “Tampering with a witness, victim, or an informant.”

Appeals Judges Pan and Walker disagreed, adopting a sweeping interpretation that the law includes evidence tampering and “all acts that obstruct, influence, or impede any official proceeding or attempt to do so.”...

"Influencing" such as ....oh, I dunno...... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances

Stuff like that?

Beyond that, the majority goes full-comedian with this line:

... She said the law does have “guardrails” because the obstruction “must be accompanied by ‘corrupt’ intent; and the behavior must target an ‘official proceeding.’”...

The weaseling begins and ends with 'corrupt intent'--a mens rea requirement which, if properly applied, would exculpt all the J6 political prisoners but which, ironically, would serve to indict all the FBI, DC cops, and Homeland "Security" toadies who were corruptly leading the charge on the Capitol to entrap the J6 demonstrators

Pay attention to this case as it moves to SCOTUS.  

In the meantime, make certain that you do not have "corrupt intent" when you show up at your School Board meeting and protest sexualization of your 6-year-old daughter.

Yes, that's where this is going.

More on the decision here.  There are twists and turns in it.

Lawfare Works Both Ways

 Heh.  Nice to see that conservatives can play the game, too.

A Texas judge found that the Federal Drug Administration improperly approved the sale of an abortion pill and he has given the government seven days to seek legal relief....

The drug in question, Mifepristone, has already been replaced by other drugs which have the same effect.  That's a tacit admission that the lawsuit's grounds were legitimate.

 ....The lawsuit was filed in November by a group arguing that the FDA had insufficient grounds to approve the use of the drug over two decades ago. Mifepristone is the most common form of abortion in the U.S., but providers have already switched to a different drug in anticipation that it might be banned....

Be that as it may, suddenly the Hard Left is opposed to lawsuits over process errors.  How many times have property owners been sued over filling in small ponds (or even 'seasonal ponds')?  How many times have utility permits been cancelled over specks of coal-dust?  And now, federal firearms license holders are told that ONE error in their record-keeping is enough to shut them down.

Regulatory law is arcane, mind-numbing, and perfect for the Left because nobody really believes that their Government hates them.  Wrong!

Read the screeching from Lizzie Warren, Laura Packard, and Moloch's very own Planned Parenthood.   

Those are the screeches you can hear clearly in Hell.  There's a reason that they sound the same.

Even More UW Funding? NO!!

 Tony Evers has requested a few hundred million capital dollars for the UW system.

There are two reasons that Republicans should zero that out:

1)  The demographics are against it; that is, there are less- and less college-age children every year.  The State won't need all the buildings and grounds we have now, much less more of them.

But here's the important reason:

2)  As Posobiec mentions here, colleges are the principal vehicles for brainwashing by the "progressive" (read:  communist) cult which worships strange gods and works to demolish the family and churches.  Don't think so?  Then think about the kids you know through work, or in your wider social circle, or in your own family, who are now 'college-enlightened.'  Figure it out yourself.

Why the Hell would any Conservative worthy of the name feed the colleges more money?

IRS ' New Audit Standards

Some discussion of the plan on CNBC.

On Thursday’s broadcast of CNBC’s “Last Call,” host Brian Sullivan reacted to the IRS’ new spending plan by stating that there is no way that the plan won’t result in increased audits on the middle class.

While interviewing Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY), Sullivan stated, “I know there’s been a lot of media that’s been like, they’re going to hire 87,000 agents, no, they’re not. But it doesn’t seem possible that there’s no way this doesn’t also raise audits on middle-class people.”

Malliotakis responded, “Absolutely. Secretary Yellen came before our Ways and Means Committee last month and she basically said that the percentage would remain the same across the board. And that means that 90% of the audits will be for those under $400,000 a year....

So it won't be 87,000 new agents.

But they won't be "middle class" audits, either, Rep. Malliotakis.

They will be audits of 'terrorists' who contributed to Trump, or go to the Latin Mass, or speak at school board meetings, or refuse to Say the Lie that boys-are-girls-girls-are-boys, and/or who possess AR's.

There.  Now that's clear.

 

Trump Did This, Too

Something went wrong with the messaging here.

Pro-migration advocates are blaming Americans’ opposition to mass migration for the death of 40 migrants in a Mexico jail....

It's not 'opposition to mass migration' that caused those deaths.

It was Trump.  Plain as the nose on your face.

Apparently the Blessed Narrative creators are taking an Easter or Passover holiday.

Are You a Broken Dish? Go To the Cross!

We all know someone who is a 'broken dish.'  They cannot function properly, if at all.

In this essay, Grondelski reminds us that the Psalmist spoke of being a broken dish, too; that was a reference to Christ's crucifixion, but not only to that.

...Bl. Aniela Salawa (1881-1922) was a Polish mystic who is not very well known in the West. She was a third-order Franciscan who spent most of her young life (she died at age 40) as a servant girl in wealthy houses in Kraków, Poland. Though a servant girl, she gave alms.

During World War I, she assisted with the sick and wounded in Kraków hospitals. By the time the War ended, Aniela had succumbed to multiple sclerosis, followed by stomach cancer and tuberculosis. Never a strong girl, she was no longer able to support herself by cleaning work and so passed her last years living in a Kraków basement, supported by benefactors.  ...

In her childhood,

 ...Aniela wanted to contribute her fair share to her family’s livelihood. But the youngest and littlest child could not give much, nor did her family expect much from her. Describing her place in her childhood home, she wrote: “At home, I was like that piece of broken junk, cast off in the corner.”...

After she was no longer able to work as a serving-girl, she wrote:

 "But one day the Lord Jesus came to me and, looking with pity upon me, thought to Himself: “just maybe something might be made from that broken piece of junk?” And He did with me just what He thought."

 Grondelski concludes:

 Ours is a broken world. The number of people suffering from loneliness, the scourges of depression, even the growth of suicide all point to a world in which people no longer see value in life—that of others or even their own. But God sees that value. Fr. Leo Trese, a popular spiritual writer of the 1940s and 1950s, once remarked that even if you were the only person in the entire universe who needed redemption, Jesus would have died this Good Friday for you 

 Because He knows “just maybe something might be made” from you. Or, as an old Glenmary Missionary poster put it, depicting two poor boys holding each other by the neck: “God made me…and God don’t make junk.”

Broken?  Go to the Cross!

Benedict XVI on Good Friday

So much to learn from Benedict!

According to the account of the evangelists, Jesus died, praying, at the ninth hour, that is to say, around 3:00 P.M. Luke gives his final prayer as a line from Psalm 31: “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” (Lk 23:46; Ps 31:5). In John’s account, Jesus’ last words are: “It is finished!” (19:30). In the Greek text, this word (tetélestai) points back to the very beginning of the Passion narrative, to the episode of the washing of the feet, which the evangelist introduces by observing that Jesus loved his own “to the end (télos).” (13:1) This “end,” this ne plus ultra of loving, is now attained in the moment of death.

He has truly gone right to the end, to the very limit and even beyond that limit. He has accomplished the utter fullness of love – he has given himself. . . .[We encounter] a further meaning of this same word (teleioÅ©n) in connection with Hebrews 5:9: in the Torah it means consecration, bestowal of priestly dignity, in other words, total dedication to God.

I think we may detect this same meaning here, on the basis of Jesus’ high-priestly prayer. Jesus has accomplished the act of consecration – the priestly handing-over of himself and the world to God – right to the end. (cf. Jn 17:19) So in this final word, the great mystery of the Cross shines forth....

... Even more important than the cosmic sign is an act of faith: the Roman centurion – the commander of the execution squad – in his consternation over all that he sees taking place, acknowledges Jesus as God’s Son: “Truly, this man was the Son of God.” (Mk 15:39) At the foot of the Cross, the Church of the Gentiles comes into being. Through the Cross, the Lord gathers people together to form the new community of the worldwide Church. Through the suffering Son, they recognize the true God....

Benedict mentions the Roman custom of breaking the legs of the crucified, but since Christ was already dead..........

... one of them pierces Jesus’ right side – his heart – and “at once there came out blood and water.” (Jn 19:34) It is the hour when the paschal lambs are being slaughtered. It was laid down that no bone of these lambs was to be broken. (cf. Ex 12:46) Jesus appears here as the true Paschal Lamb, pure and whole.

So in this passage we may detect a tacit reference to the very beginning of Jesus’ story – to the hour when John the Baptist said: “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” (Jn 1:29) Those words, which were inevitably obscure at the time as a mysterious prophecy of things to come, are now a reality. Jesus is the Lamb chosen by God himself.

On the Cross he takes upon himself the sins of the world, and he wipes them away....

Finally, describing the piercing of His heart,

... In this double outpouring of blood and water, the Fathers saw an image of the two fundamental sacraments – Eucharist and Baptism – which spring forth from the Lord’s pierced side, from his heart. This is the new outpouring that creates the Church and renews mankind. Moreover, the opened side of the Lord asleep on the Cross prompted the Fathers to point to the creation of Eve from the side of the sleeping Adam, and so in this outpouring of the sacraments they also recognized the birth of the Church: the creation of the new woman from the side of the new Adam. 

Christus factus est pro nobis obediens usque ad mortem.

Afghan Disaster? Trump Did It!!

This is the standard line from the Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants regime.

 President Joe Biden's administration blamed conditions created by President Donald Trump for the chaotic withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan in the summer of 2021, according to a summary of findings from an administration-wide after-action review released Thursday....

Inflation?  Trump's fault.

High gas prices?  Trump's fault.

Collapse of the USDollar?  Trump's fault

Hangnails?  Bunions?  Gastro-intestinal distress?  Flat tire?  Weeds in the lawn?  Lost your golf match?

Trump's fault!

Recession?  Trump's fault.

Trumka: Like Father, Like Son

Richard Trumka, Jr. is a Bai-Den appointee now running the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

His father was a lawyer and union thug (Mineworkers, AFL-CIO) who got things done the old-fashioned way:  threats of violence and (union) election fraud schemes, demonstrating that having a law degree doesn't make one into a moral citizen.  (Democrats have lots of election lawyers for exactly that reason.)  He delivered the messageComply.  It's the Thug Way.

Trumka Jr. also has a law degree, and perhaps he's a bit smarter than the old man; his thuggery masquerades as "consumer protection."  (He doesn't really give a flying fart about "consumers"; he is "protecting" the "environment," consumers be damned.)

His M.O. is to find 'studies' which predict doom or which are--at best--questionable, then act on them as fast as possible.  That's how he decided to ban gas stoves.  Don't believe the "if/maybe/possibly" crapola in the news story--natural gas usage is the target and your gas stove will be history.

Now he shows up again, this time to make portable generators far more expensive.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) voted unanimously on April 5 to advance a proposal that would enable portable generators to emit less carbon monoxide and shut down the devices automatically if the odorless, potentially toxic gas reaches a certain level.

The rule would “protect unsuspecting consumers from carbon monoxide poisoning associated with portable generators,” noting that it is a “well-documented hazard, responsible for more than 1,300 deaths and 17,000 injuries over the past 18 years,” CPSC Commissioner Mary T. Boyle confirmed (pdf).

“By advancing this rulemaking process, we are taking action aimed squarely at preventing harm and saving lives,” she wrote....

No.  They are taking action squarely aimed at petroleum- or natural gas-fired lifesaving devices.  

...[Trumka] also appeared to invoke mainstream narratives about climate change, writing that it is his “best guess” that the spikes in carbon monoxide poisonings are “due to the uptick in extreme weather events during which people rely on generators for power.” He did not provide evidence to back up his post....

That's because there IS no evidence.

In reality?  Portable gen-sets are flying off the shelves in the USA.  Consumers have cash and will buy the devices to protect their families from cold or heat, provide power for in-home medical apparatus, and protect their food supplies during civil emergencies such as hurricanes, tornadoes, or other severe weather (and for protection when utilities fail to deliver power due to Federal "Green Energy" policies.)

The red flag?  Right here:

 ...ProPublica wrote on April 5 that it, the Texas Tribune, and NBC News carried out an investigation into a spate of carbon monoxide poisoning deaths during the winter storm that hit Texas in 2021. At least 19 people died from related poisoning events, while more than 1,400 others were treated in emergency rooms....

NBC?  The one who jury-rigged a truck to explode and then claimed it was GM's fault?

Texas Tribune?  The one flying the Red Star flag?  (Call any Texan outside of Houston, Austin, or Dallas, and ask about that rag.)

Look, people:  when there are tens of thousands more gen-sets in use, there WILL be an increase in related problems.  But the problems are Operator Error, not gen-set flaws.

If you're going to place your gen-set inside your home or garage, or at an open window with the exhaust pipe of the engine facing into your house, there is not a damn thing God or anyone can do to save your stupid ass.

Trumka knows that.

He doesn't care.  He--like all the rest of the Bai-Den thugs, worships and serves the Green Goddess.  If  you can't afford your life-saving gen-set, too damn bad.  If you prefer a gas stove, too damn bad.  

You will comply.  It's the Thug Way. 

Dimon: Sieze Property for Green Power

Some think that Jamie Dimon is a moderate.

Nope.

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon suggested that governments should seize private property to advance green energy projects, such as wind and solar farms.

Dimon pushed for eminent domain to get more ‘clean energy’ initiatives off the ground in his annual letter to shareholders....

Dimon's bank owns or leases plenty of properties in the US.  Jamie should tear down those buildings and put hot-air farms and sun-catchers on them--on his own dime--if he wants to waste even more money on intermittent/unreliable electricity.

Jamie can put it where the sun never shines, so to speak.

Even MORE Undercovers at J6

We knew that the FBI and DC cop shop had sent undercovers into the J6 event.

But you didn't know that Homeland "Security" also had at least a dozen in there, too.

Surprised that no one recognized them.

Another Tranny Kiddie-Killer!

Ace found this one.

A trans-identified male who goes by Lilly, though his given name is William Whitworth, was arrested and charged after a police investigation in Colorado Springs revealed that the 19-year-old was responsible for "threats involving schools in Colorado Springs Academy District 20."

Whitworth faces charges of attempted murder after allegedly making threats against schools in Colorado Springs, Colo., according to local news.  --Ace quoting The Postmillennial

Trump caused this.

Thinking of Shopping in Chiraq?

McCain, not the dead politician, quotes Jazz Shaw on the reality of Chicago.

...Chicago is well known for the “Magnificent Mile,” a formerly prosperous and productive retail district filled with high-end shops and fine dining establishments. Now it looks like a war zone. For the past year or more, it’s been the site of robberies, assaults, smash-and-grab heists, and even murders. Business owners have been fleeing the area. . . .

Oh, it gets worse.  Here McCain shows you the numberzzzzz

...When Jazz Shaw refers to the city’s “carjacking epidemic,” it’s no exaggeration. As recently as 2014, Chicago had barely 300 carjackings a year. Last year, there were more than 1,600 carjackings in Chicago, to go along with 737 murders and 2,937 people wounded from gunfire....

So yah, you can still get a stylish purse or watch on the MagMile.

Too bad about your car, though.

 

Wrinkly Old Ann Coulter vs. Reality

Ann Coulter, a single New York Episcopalian non-mother (read H-I-G-H  E-S-T-A-B-L-I-S-H-M-E-N-T) does not like Donald TrumpAt all.  So she predicts that Trump will lose if he's nominated, AND states that the indictment by "Twinkies" Bragg was a Democrat Party set-up to push Trump into the nomination.

Well....what?  He gets the nomination and the Democrats rejoice?

Yup.  Coulter brings out her dusty old US History books (the ones that still have the Constitution in an appendix) and advises that only ONE person who had lost running for the job ever got it on a second run in recent history, and he was Richard Nixon.

So the setup was to get a sure loser nominated by the Pubbies.

Oh.

Meantime, in reality-land:

...A new 2024 White House poll shows former President Donald Trump with his biggest lead against President Joe Biden in more than a year. 

A Rasmussen Reports survey released Wednesday gives Trump a seven-point advantage over Biden, with most respondents being surveyed after the ex-president was indicted on Thursday.

In a general election match-up, 47 percent of likely U.S. voters said they'd select Trump, while 40 percent said Biden. ...

There are several elements which play in elections.  One of them is "Who Is The Opponent?"  While Coulter's Waterman-pen-and-watermarked-stationery piece correctly observes that Hillary was the most vile candidate to run in recent history, Coulter overlooks the increasingly-heavy baggage Joe Biden is carrying into '24.  We could start with inflation, continue through his crushing defeat by Putin in the VERY important geopolitics realm which caused the increase in the price of gasoline and diesel which has only just begun this Spring and which threatens the value of the US Dollar, the rapidly-rising influence of Communist China worldwide paired with their obvious purchase of Biden, and finally, the glaringly-obvious Totalitarian bent of the party in power, put into neon-light display by The Indictment.  We could add their worship of the Green goddess, but that's not quite ripe yet.

All that and a run against Bai-Den by Robert F Kennedy, Jr.

It's a long way to '24, of course.  But if Trump begins serious message-discipline, he has a large group of missiles he can launch at Biden without bringing up the Great Election Fraud of '20.  (He can settle that hash when he's back in office.)

RFK II for President?

Robert F Kennedy Jr. is running against Bai-Den in the Democrat party primaries.

...“If I run, my top priority will be to end the corrupt merger between state and corporate power that has ruined our economy, shattered the middle class, polluted our landscapes and waters, poisoned our children, and robbed us of our values and freedoms. Together we can restore America’s democracy.”...

Given Bai-Den's mental state and Kennedy's somewhat populist position.........Hmmmmmmm.

He also opposes the CIA's power.

 ...According to Kennedy, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has become “a government within our government” and a “tumor” on the American system, and he proposed to fix the agency by implementing a separate oversight body over it....

He is particularly critical of Allen Dulles, former CIA director, who was fired by John F Kennedy.  Despite that, LBJ placed Dulles on the Warren Commission, which 'studied' the JFK assassination.  That Commission determined that it was a Russophile 'lone actor' who did the deed.  But serious allegations of CIA involvement in that assassination have surfaced.

(Dulles is the man responsible for planting fake documents in Sen. Joe McCarthy's office, leading McCarthy to make errors and--ultimately--to be discredited.)

Is it possible that RFK II will prevail?

No.  But will he seriously damage the (D) brand, which is now totally congruent with "Deep State"?

Damn straight.

Fauci, Murderer? And Much More!

Another non-surprise.  The ex-director of CDC gave sworn testimony to Jordan's committee.  You didn't read about this in the MSM, nor see it on TeeeeVeeee.

...Redfield directly linked gain-of-function research and the creation of SARS-CoV-WIV to Fauci, and to the U.S. government—including the Department of Defense (DOD). He absolutely believes and gives sworn testimony to the effect that Fauci and Jeremy Farrar, director of the Wellcome Trust and soon be the chief scientist at the World Health Organization, covered up the lab leak information. Redfield himself was excluded from the meetings when the processes, strategy, and tactics for covering up the lab leak were developed.

The Epoch Times story also explains how Fauci, Murderer (?) and his boss Collins and other criminal conspirators avoided records-searches:  they kept no records.

... This winter, we had a high-level federal employee on the farm. He/she came to me anonymously to express concerns about what had happened in the execution of this corrupt and failed public health response, and in particular to how the vaccines were developed and implemented. She/he discussed how all of the high-level meetings on the clinical trials, the safety of the vaccine, and the public health response, were all done under complete secrecy. Recorders were turned off, plus cell phones and computers were not allowed in the meetings. So there are literally NO RECORDS of these meetings....

The gain-of-function research on SARS CoVid began at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte.  Even though Obama hates the US, give him credit:  he knew of the murderous potential of the virus and forced Fauci, Collins, et.al. to send it overseas.  A lab-leak or treachery on US territory would be politically fatal to Obama and the Democrats, not to mention the military-industrial complex.

It is..........interesting.......that the Department of Defense, a funder of the research, explicitly or tacitly approved sending this to a lab operated by the Chinese Communists who--as you recall--is an enemy of the USA.

Even more telling:  the State Department, arguably the most significant entity of the Deep State complex, also funded the research.

Hundreds of questions remain.

Rope, Tree, ...........some assembly required.

Wisconsin Elects Moloch

 

Wisconsin voters on Tuesday gave control of the state’s highest court to liberals for the first time in 15 years, instantly reshaping politics in the Badger State by putting the state laws most celebrated by conservatives at risk of being overturned — including a 19th Century-era ban on abortions.

We said--and we meant it--that the "Suburban Moms" would elect Moloch to preserve abortion for themselves and their daughters.

We were not wrong.

Bluto Barr: China Lover??

Things begin to fall into place....

Go to 36:00 and listen to what Navarro has to say about why 'sanctions' don't work; in effect, they encourage nations to go AWAY from the USDollar and into other currencies.  Ask Putin how well they work, eh?

And how he fought against Mnuchin, Pompeo, and Kudlow over blocking US investment in Red China.  You'd expect resistance from those three characters.

But Bill Barr?

Isn't that fascinating??

Serious Dirtball VA Records Leak

How serious is it?

I'll just use Ace's headline:

In Wake of the DCCC Illegally Purloining Republican Veterans' Confidential Military Records, The Veteran Administration's Tech Chief Met With the Head of the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee. Who Is Also His Wife.

It's THAT serious.

Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee is run by a woman who is married to the VA's Chief of "Security"--a Biden appointee.

Quoting Kerr's story at the Ace site:

 On Feb. 8, the Air Force informed two Republican political candidates, also military veterans, that their information had been improperly leaked to a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee contractor. That same day, the Department of Veterans Affairs' chief technology officer met to discuss cybersecurity with his wife, the chairwoman of the DCCC.

All strictly accidental, please pardon us, you won't mind having your SocSec number out there, will you?

So sorry. 

News Quiz!!!

Here's a quick, easy, news-quiz.  All you have to do is answer whether or not you knew of the stories listed here.

Yes, I scored 100%.

No, I did NOT learn about them by reading Local Pravda.

Col. Macgregor's Excellent Question

Some of you are familiar with Col. Douglas Macgregor.  You are the enlightened ones; Macgregor is an astute student of geopolitics and war; and he is unafraid to slap both sides of the aisle for their multiple perfidies against the Deplorables.

Following WWII.....

...Captivated by the illusion of limitless power, Presidents Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson wasted no time looking for opportunities to reshape the world in America’s image.

The Vietnam War sobered up the American electorate, but after America’s Cold War victory in 1991, presidents have blurred the distinctions between war and peace. In the resulting confusion, the reckless pursuit of global military hegemony and the moralizing internationalism that inspired intervention in Vietnam regained its old popularity....

(One should add that the VietNam disaster was not only 'global military hegemony and moralizing internationalism.'  It was also fought for the benefit of US manufacturers who saw market-share opportunities in SE Asia and needed US control of the area to capitalize.)

Macgregor, after a bit more discussion of the War-War State, poses a gripping question.

...In a report called “Joint Operating Environment 2008,” the authors warned the Joint Chiefs of Staff, “Any descent by Mexico into chaos would demand an American response based on the serious implications for homeland security alone.” The report did not command the attention of the Obama administration and Washington’s current political elites seem no more interested today than they were in 2009. 

Against this backdrop of social, political, and economic decay, the president and Congress are effectively ignoring the disintegration of civil society in Mexico. Mexican drug cartels (with the assistance of enablers in Cuba and Venezuela) are not only invading America with impunity. The cartels are also exposing Americans to criminal violence in their own country.

Yet it is not the metastasizing cancer of criminality on the Rio Grande that is the strategic focus for President Biden and his compliant congress. It is the proxy war in Ukraine....

Donald Trump paid a lot of attention to Mexico and the border because Macgregor advised him--and Trump understood the peril.  That fence was not only about illegal laborers.  Not by a long shot.

The drug-and-child-rape cartels are of no interest to Congress and Bai-Den not because they are taking payoffs (that we know of.)  They are of no interest to Congress and Bai-Den because the harm they are doing is to the untermenschen; brown and black people and poor whites, by and large.

Who cares about them, anyway?

Macgregor does.  Trump does.

The moralizing Democrats?  Nope.  The feckless, rudder-less Republicans?  Hell, no.

 But the circus of a Trump indictment and the drama of a foreign war (killing far-away untermenschen) is what Bai-Den and Congress want because that keeps your attention away from the real clear and present danger:  the Narco-State of Mexico.

 

No AM Radio in Ford? No Surprise

 Ford Motor has announced that AM radio will no longer be available in its consumer offerings beginning in the '24 model year.

That should not be a surprise.

You WILL purchase the Ford entertainment system which supports streaming apps.

And if they're like GM, they'll find a way to collect monthly fees (SaaS model) for that streaming, too.  Just a matter of time.

Tranny Targeted the Covenant School

Nashville PD press release:

The ongoing investigation into the March 27 murders of six persons inside The Covenant School continues to show, from all information currently available, that killer Audrey Hale acted totally alone. In the collective writings by Hale found in her vehicle in the school parking lot, and others later found in the bedroom of her home, she documented, in journals, her planning over a period of months to commit mass murder at The Covenant School....

The presser goes on to say that the FBI behavioral analysis unit is whitewashing looking for the motive.

Biden Takes Credit for Trump Indictment

 Right there on national TeeeeVeee.

 

Biden all but confirmed that his team is coordinating these Trump indictments to “stop Trump from taking power again”

About as *surprising* as the fact that he allowed China's spy balloon to complete its job before a Shiny Object shoot-down.

ISM and PMI Both Down---Again

Both the ISM and PMI (manufacturing) indices are down again, for the 5th month in a row.

ISM notes an increase in inventories, a decrease in new orders, and a decrease in employment.

PMI observes that while production was up, that was merely a 'clearing of backorders,' and not likely to be long-term.

Had to happen sometime, but the Bai-Den Incompetency, along with the Bai-Den Energy Squeeze, hastened this along.

Now the question:  how long and how deep?

Chesterton, Again

Tolerance is NOT a virtue.  Prudence is.

 ...St. Thomas Aquinas once said that prudence was the primary cardinal virtue, because it is concerned with the intellect. Prudence is basically the ability to distinguish what is good and bad in any given situation, and to take appropriate action....

One cannot 'tolerate' children attending drag shows, nor being forced to read obscene materials in grade school, or high school for that matter.  One should take appropriate action.

Lightbulb Insanity, Final Phase

You probably have light fixtures around the house which use 'decorative' incandescent bulbs.  Most often those are found in over-the-mirror lighting and chandeliers in the dining or living room.

Lay in your stock of those bulbs now.

...The regulations, which prohibit retailers from selling incandescent light bulbs, were finalized by the Department of Energy (DOE) in April 2022 and are slated to go into effect on Aug. 1, 2023. The DOE will begin full enforcement of the ban on that date, but it has already urged retailers to begin transitioning away from the light bulb type and, in recent months, begun issuing warning notices to companies....

Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants worships the Green Goddess (second only to the Totalitarian Power Goddess).   You can go to Hell if you don't like that.

IRS vs. Diocese of Madison?

This may become a very big deal.

Pastor Brian Dulli sent a clear message to the congregants of his suburban Madison St. Patrick’s Catholic Church: Voting for a Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate who stands for the killing of the unborn is perilous to your faith and soul.

Now, a left-wing group is threatening to get President Joe Biden’s IRS involved and go after the Diocese of Madison for “electioneering.”

With just a few days before Tuesday’s pivotal spring election that will decide whether conservatives or liberals control the state’s high court, Dulli is being attacked by the Madison-based Freedom From Religion Foundation. The atheist group has complained to the IRS that Dulli’s message in the church bulletin was “blatant electioneering” and is asking the agency to strip St. Patrick’s of its nonprofit tax status.

Why all the fuss? Dulli wrote in a church bulletin that voting for the pro-abortion candidate in Tuesday’s election runs counter to being a Catholic and the Catholic Church’s teachings on the sanctity of life.

“You cannot publicly support abortion or abortion advocates and remain a Catholic in good standing,” Dulli wrote. “The fact that this is a Supreme Court race does not exempt us from our duty to protect life …. As a Catholic, I urge you, for the salvation of your soul; do not vote for her in the Supreme Court race on April 4.”...

We happen to know something about that particular parish; it would not surprise us to learn that a member of that parish is also a contributor to the Freedom From Religion bunch, nor that a parish member 'tattled' to FFR. 

Regardless, it is useful to note who was the original pusher behind the legislation at issue here:  Lyndon Baines Johnson.  Johnson, a notorious election-fraud schemer (and beneficiary) wanted to silence churches which were increasingly critical of the Democrat Party agenda--yes, even back in the '50's.  Also notable:  churches promoting Democrat candidates and positions are rarely--if ever--penalized by the IRS.

Given the Totalitarian/Statist inclinations of the current administration, this could well be a Federal court case in the next year or so.  

Stay tuned.

Pizza Pizza!!

In the news:

A partner at Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll, a law firm representing the DNC and suing Trump over January 6 on behalf of Democrats in Congress, was arrested for possessing child pornography.

Michael T. Dolce, a lawyer who specialized in fighting child sex abuse, was arrested by the feds at his West Palm Beach apartment on March 15.

Detectives discovered nearly 2,000 images of child sex abuse on Michael Dolce’s devices.

According to the federal criminal complaint, investigators found sex abuse images with girls as young as 5 years old, Local 10 reported....

US Mass Shooting Capital?

This shouldn't be hard.

The US' mass-shooting capitol is Chiraq.

FIFTY-ONE to date in 2023.


The Stench of the Snake-Slime

 Revolver exposes the snakes crawling out from under the rocks, leaving a trail of stinking slime.

 ...Ray Epps has recently launched the next bizarre phase of his grievance tour, and the New York Times has once again enlisted itself to provide sympathetic coverage. This time, Ray Epps demands that Tucker Carlson formally retract his “false and defamatory statements” and that Carlson issue a “full and on air apology” for “lies” in relation to Epps....

Epps is an FBI informant who told the J6 crowd to 'get in to the Capitol.'  It's on video.

Naturally, the FBI--formerly a US law enforcement operation, now a Stasi wannabee--lied like Hell and said they have nothing to do with Epps.   Right.

 ...Epps’ former lawyer who advised him through the Jan 6 Committee questioning and other things was a man by the name of John Blischak, who just happens to be a 9 year veteran of the FBI. Epps’ new lawyer is Michael Teter, has an even more unlikely pedigree for a defender of Epps....

Not "unlikely" at all. 

...Teter currently works for an organization called Facts First USA, a nakedly partisan organization targeting the agenda of the so-called “MAGA Majority” in Congress. The President of Facts First USA is none other than the disgraced Democrat/Clinton machine hatchet man David Brock. For those unfamiliar, Brock’s resume includes founding the Soros funded Media Matters...

 ... Brock is most notorious, however, for his infamous “Brock Memo,” a memo formally titled “Democracy Action: Strategic Plan for Action” that served as a blueprint for the Democrat and Deep State alliance to undermine, neutralize, and destroy Trump’s presidency from day one. One of the key pillars of this strategy was the aggressive use of lawfare tactics to embroil Trump and his allies in continuous lawsuits and legal trouble....

 ...The lawfare component of the strategy was to be carried out by an organization called Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), which co-sponsored the Brock memo, and on whose board Brock served as chairman from 2014 to 2016. CREW was actually co-founded by none-other than Norm Eisen, former Obama ethics czar and notorious color revolution professional whom Revolver famously profiled years ago....

 Now we're up to an entire family of snakes!

...Teter used to work for the notorious law firm Perkins Coie, which functions as the legal arm for Hillary Clinton and the Democrats, and whose attorneys played a prominent role in promoting the so-called Russia hoax....

 ...And then we have Perkins Coie partner Marc Elias who served as general counsel to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign, and who according to the Washington Post  hired Fusion GPS on behalf of the DNC and the Hillary campaign to create opposition research that ultimately led to the famously discredited Steele dossier. Not only did Teter’s old firm Perkins Coie have a close relationship with the Democrats and Hillary campaign, it also had a very unusually cozy relationship with the FBI. Congressmen Matt Gaetz and Jim Jordan helped expose the bizarre fact that the FBI built a special workplace within the firm that represented the Hillary campaign and DNC....

See what I meant about the FBI and "Stasi"?  

 ...of all people representing Epps in his latest assault on Tucker Carlson and Revolver News (for daring to point out all of the above), Epps has retained a lawyer deep in the bowels of the Democrat and Clinton machine.

Ask yourself, why would all of these hostile institutions all of a sudden come to the defense of this January 6 participant, a former head of the Arizona chapter of the Oath Keepers–the most demonized and prosecuted militia group associated with Jan 6? Why would a Democrat and Hillary machine operative come to the defense of someone most famously known for wearing a trump hat and military camouflage, demanding that the crowd go-into the Capitol?...

Because these snakes are all one, big family, of course.

And they are losing their grip on control of the US despite the frantic efforts of McConnell, Rubio, the Bush family, and the Senate Intel gang of traitors.

They are desperate.

Keep your powder dry--but keep your powder.
