A friend said that the right is addicted to losing and to self-flagellation.
He’s right on the second. The first is a by-product.
It never fails to astonish me the chest beating, the “how did we fail” when things don’t go according to plan and its twin, the ridiculous and rage-inducing “I guess people want socialism/communism now.”
The number of people humans have willingly voted for and wanted communism and socialism since the end of the twentieth century is not zero. But it’s not far off. And in the US it might very well be bloody zero.
Oh, sure, your crazy aunt Marge. Have you checked that she’s actually human? Kidding, kidding. Yes, there are groups of people among us, usually the exquisitely indoctrinated, who willingly vote for socialism/communism. Note that a lot of them have no clue what such a regime would do, or what the consequences would be for them personally.
Yeah, I know they exist. The fools shall always be with us. That’s written in the good book, somewhere. Well, a good book, at least. And it’s not, I’ll be sure to write it in one, and make it as good as possible.
They are nowhere near a majority and they’re a minority more and more with each passing year, and yeah, I can prove that, but hold on, okay?
First let’s talk about the right receives news that they failed at some election. They never look at the things going into it, which more and more are massive, obvious fraud dancing naked and brazen in front of our eyes.
The right immediately says something like “Oh, yeah, well, sure there was fraud, but still, we shouldn’t have lost. It was our message. It was our candidate. It was the fact that everyone out there really wants socialism.”
Twice, I stopped writing for a “right” site after elections. In 2012 I stopped writing about politics, because it was decided we really were all socialists now, and so it was needed to work on the soft culture. In 2020 I stopped writing altogether, because I was told we weren’t going to do what the left had done, and spend four years screaming “fraud.”
Both times I was shocked. Both times I knew the amount of fraud is extraordinary. (Yes, 2012, already.) I do understand the impulse, to an extent. You see, if it’s fraud, there’s nothing we can do. If it’s not fraud, then we might be able to reach a crucial number of people and–
But what this results in — and I have reason to think this has been going throughout the second half of the 20th century, though it wasn’t so perfectly sewn up. The person who said the last true presidential election was JFK does deserve to be laughed at though. Loudly — is losing. It results in losing, because the right is trying to “meet the culture” that doesn’t exist “in the middle” that is halfway to the left that largely exists only as electoral fraud. So, being addicted to self flagellation lends itself to losing, and my friend is right, but in a sideways way.
Now, how do I know it was fraud?
Well, first of all, you know, the reason to prove there was no fraud, is to allow investigations.
While both sides claim fraud when they lose, the left officially, and the right from the grassroots, the right obsessively allows investigation and investigates its own fraud. (Which is why we know that save for two or three very particular local races in the last 20 years or so, the right doesn’t fraud. It’s not a “both sides” problem.) The left always claimed there was no fraud on its part. (I have a theory they actually believe this. Or at least believe they only fraud as much as the right. You see, I don’t know what’s in their heads but they don’t believe the grass roots EXIST. They were sure the tea party was astro turf. And they’re sure people on the right MUST be frauding, particularly when we beat their fraud.) But more and more, increasingly, they also try to criminalize the claims of fraud from the right. And they try to stop all investigation.
This is the most crucial point. A left that was triumphant and ascendant (yes, middle 20th century) had no need for ever-tighter censorship. They had a vision of the future (more on that later too) and an attractive “culture” that catered to the educated. They were a positional good. If you were “smart” and educated you were leftist. (Yes, they’re trying to hold onto that. It’s been fraying badly the last 20 years.)
Now, they are trying, increasingly, to censor everything. They don’t want you to question elections — and that’s the most important thing, which is kind of amusing — but more and more they don’t want you to know what your friends and neighbors think about anything at all. The pinnacle of this, I swear was the lockdown and masks. They wanted us isolated, so people didn’t know how vast the fraud was.
Biden’s election, too, has two hallmarks of “fraud so vast that we don’t think legitimate votes for him were needed” (Though undoubtedly your aunt Marge and her ilk did vote for him): First, he didn’t even pretend to campaign. And as far as he campaigned, he issued a series of threats. “We’re going to stop you drilling for oil.” “We’re going to open the borders.” “We’re going to tax you more.” (No, other than your aunt Marge — have you really checked she’s human? — these aren’t popular ideas. They weren’t back then, either.) Second, after he “won” he turned DC into “fortress capital” and mobilized state guards to come and defend him from the “right wing extremists” whom they were sure were about to storm the white house, drag them out and shoot them. This is because they knew they’d performed a coup d’etat, and they knew what they so richly deserved.
But the nonsense has been going on for a long time, way since before 2020. Roughly, the right wins when it surprises the left enough to have more votes than the left counted on. (Particularly when the left is trying to keep it plausible. They might or might not have given up on that. We’ll see in 24.)
Motor voter was an attempt at making fraud too massive to circumvent. As was machine voting. Note the left accused machine voting of fraud, which is typical of things they intend to do, because they know the right won’t then do it, because, well… “We’re not like them.” (Laudable, but dumb.)
As were a ton of other measures, from voting without an id, to “early voting”, to mail in voting. At this point, at my estimation, a good 80% to 90% of the left’s vote is fraud. Yes, your aunt Marge exists. As does her ilk. But a lot of them don’t even vote, because they’ve gone off the deep end, to “But the left is also capitalist” and would only vote for someone promising to stop all agriculture and herding because plants and animals want to be free.
And yes, the youth is largely still indoctrinated (they do snap out of it at around 45 give or take ten years) but the thing is mostly the youth vote fails to show up. At least when it’s not frauded in.
Note that the left defends each of the dubious voting measures to the death every time we try to stop one. Note also that things like mail-in-voting are typically instituted the moment they get hold (however marginal) of a state, and that it never after that goes right. EVER. It’s like it’s magical, right? If it’s not fraud, it must be that the sight of envelopes makes people socialist. (Bah.)
A small note on this is stuff like Long Island going red, even while we ‘lost’ everywhere else. How could this happen? Well, it could happen because they didn’t expect it, were busy frauding elsewhere, like Virginia and Kentucky, were it was grudge matches. This is why in 2024 the two states most at risk of being “swept by a blue wave” are Texas and Florida, both of which are grudge matches. Because it’s the fraud stupid! Colorado earned itself the massive frauding by passing ammendment two, which DARED make raising taxes something that had to be asked for every single time. Oh, and by saying that gay shouldn’t be a protected hiring category at state level. (TBF I think freedom of association should rule. But back then “gay” was the important thing to the left, their proof they were on the side of angels. Now they’re underbussing gay people at speed, in the name of trans.) So, it was the “hate state” and HAD to be turned. It was a grudge match.
So, the fraud is massive, pervasive, and the fact that it can be done “by computer” (So futuristic, so progressive!) means it can now be done in small elections as well as large, in mid terms as well as the national elections, etc.) what can we do?
Very little. Or very little individually. This won’t last, because it can’t, and I will explain why. In fact, in the history of ideas that are so fricking bad only an idiot would try it, thoroughly corrupting the voting system of the US so the input doesn’t matter to who is elected might rank up there with China’s one-child policy or little Kim ordering his people to eat pine-needles.
But on the individual side, there is pretty much almost nothing we can do. Except one thing: We can refuse to buy that there was no fraud, or that “everyone is socialist” now.
Because if you buy that, you’re trying to adapt your mind to something that doesn’t exist, and trying to reach across the isle when there’s nothing there. And then you become Pierre Delecto, wondering why no one loves him.
Also we can refuse to shut up. Make them ramp up the censorship to absurd amounts, and still keep talking. Because frankly, as with the fact the population is not in fact exploding, the fact there is massive and pervasive fraud is beginning to win the war of ideas. The left can try to shut it down, but it keeps cropping up, because it’s obviously true.
Besides, turning on our candidate, our own platform or our voices is stupid and counterproductive. Look, Trump might be what he is — eh, you know, I wouldn’t date him. But that’s not required, is it? — but he’s put everything — EVERYTHING — on the line to run and oppose the left. Turning on him only signals to anyone else brave or foolish enough to do it, that we’ll hang you to dry as soon as the left frauds you out. It’s stupid. Most people don’t have his resources or his ego. They can’t withstand that abuse.
As for our platform….
Yeah. Yesterday I already heard “Maybe we need to ditch opposition to abortion.”
Look, abortion is a legitimately divisive issue, for a million reasons, and I know a lot of social libertarians, legitimate freedom lovers, who will support it. I don’t for a ton of reasons, among them because I believe “you’re human if mommy says so” is a lousy way to run an ethical system. And after all personhood is at the basis of everything in a society based on the rights of the INDIVIDUAL HUMAN.
Should it be part of the GOP platform, one way or another? Nationally? Probably not. But candidates who are anti-abortion should be able to say so, and regionally of course being anti-abortion and on the right is a thing. For one, it’s also a sizeable voting block, and one that for some reason terrifies the left.
Actually I know the reason. It’s because it’s an issue they’re losing on. And it doesn’t matter if they put it in every state constitution (Except the way it’s written in Ohio it will turn into “permission to trans children.” BUT that’s something else, and will be figured out right quick.) Abortion has been falling, in total numbers, year over year. The opinion n the street is turning against it. John Ringo is absolutely right as to why, and it’s not something political, nor something laws could do.
Look, for centuries, murdering children was illegal, and children got routinely exposed. (And murdered, sometimes creatively. The number of women who “rolled over” on their infants is amazing. No, seriously. Do you sleep with a cat? How many times have you rolled over on him/her? Because I can count …. once in 35 years, and even then I stopped halfway through.) You see, the abstract morality was up against the fact that people simply couldn’t afford another kid. Or there was something wrong with the kid. Or–
And humans aren’t ideal creatures. No matter how wrong something is, people will do it. Oh, there were all kinds of dodges, including the belief they would, after all, “go straight to heaven.” Or you exposed them, and hoped someone would pick them up.
Then the exposing of children stopped, because…. well, a wealthier society. We could afford more kids. But eventually abortion picked up.
I know you kids will have trouble believing this, but my generation really believed that until like six months, it was just a clump of cells, or a tube with two openings. (In retrospect, that later is true. For adults too.)
But now abortions are falling, year over year, in absolute numbers, and John Ringo is right. It’s not the laws. It’s ultrasounds. It’s the pictures on the fridge. “This is my baby at ten weeks!” It’s giving them names before they’re born. “Little Jason is very active today!” It’s the fact that long before they’re born they’re becoming part of the family, and that you can’t deny they’re human.
I suspect, just in the trend of the culture, in twenty years people will look with horror at “they allowed abortion till birth!” and might very well do it on “they allowed abortion till fifteen weeks.”
The law will follow culture. And it will be obeyed. Save for extreme circumstances, which yeah, will happen.
BUT meanwhile? Yeah. It is allowed to be part of someone’s platform. And it is not why people are “voting left.” Sure, any number of young people have been scared by the left’s crazy ads. And a lot of the old, bitter left will turn out to vote for abortion if for nothing else, because they did it, so everyone should. And a number of civil libertarians will vote for, because they think people should have the option. (They’re not wrong, except for the fact that it’s a multi million dollar industry, and that it enables the abuse of women and the de-personalization of the individual. But that’s an argument for another time.)
Mostly the “abortion” thing is being used as a cover for fraud. “Look, people are voting left, because they love abortion so much.” It’s all. The main issue is not abortion, it’s fraud. Diagnosing it otherwise is stupid and counterproductive.
It’s like, I can tell you they’re going to use RFK’s candidacy to explain why Trump will lose in 24. I’ve already seen articles that RFK is pulling 30% of voters away from Trump. On right wing sites, at that. I don’t know what they imagine they’re saying. Sure, RFK resonates with the right about COVID and a hatred of the CIA. And? He also believes in open borders and socialism. And if you’re going to say his “style” is more appealing than Trump’s, it’s because you never heard him.
Yes, I can see him being appealing. mostly to your aunt Marge and her ilk. Old hippies, crazy left, Kennedy fans. About 0.5% of whom are on the right.
It is however a great excuse to reelect the zombie. (Yes, they want the zombie to quit, because that would be more plausible. except I doubt he will. You see, if he quits — if Dr. Jill lets him — he’ll be exposed to have all his own personal corruption exposed, and his family destroyed. The Bidens won’t do that.)
So, that’s something you can do, you can believe there’s fraud. You can believe it happens. You can scream about it.
What else can you do? Well, you can wait.
You see, I said this is a stupid idea, and it is.
Elections are a safety valve. Yes, the left has frauded for a long time. But there used to be fraud on the right too, before the twentieth century. And except certain places and times, the fraud was at the margins. You still had to appeal to the public to an extent. You still had to be careful and not totally stomp on things people wanted/didn’t want. You had to stay responsive.
This is why having people elect their government spread and became popular. Absolute kings suck absolutely. Even with the best of intentions. And most of them didn’t have the best of intentions.
Sure, in the early twentieth century, the left cheated their way into power to usher in “progress.” I stand by my belief that the only two things that government does well are to steal from their own people and kill them in batch lots. But national highway systems and electricity and such, did help the people. Probably. And would have taken longer without fraud getting “progressives” in.
But now? Now the fraud is out of control, and “elections” are as completely divorced from voting as in the old USSR (or the new Russia) or China, or…
You can see why the oligarchs love it. They can rule forever and ever, undisturbed.
This means they learned nothing from the fall of the USSR, or the dire straits China finds itself in. This means they’re very, very, very stupid.
What they’ve done is break the fire alarm, and now think they’re safe from fire.
Yeah, this means they’ll “win” elections, just like they “win” elections in states that are all vote by mail.
And in other times and places, it might secure power for them for …. sixty or seventy years.
The problem for them is this is not another time and another place. The problem for them is that tech is moving to the more distributed level, no matter how many happy-slappy executive orders the zombie signs.
The problem for them is that people are communicating in newer and more complex ways every day, so their screaming and propaganda, their blatant censorship, their command that the arts echo their message?
It’s all for nothing.
Things like “it’s the fraud” keep propagating. As well as knowledge that it’s not in fact overpopulation causing our problems. Or the knowledge that global warming is a crock.
Their crazy attempts at getting us locked up again are ridiculous, and have failed in amazingly obvious ways.
Their attempts at making us give up our guns just cause us to buy more guns.
Their attempts to start world war three have failed, mostly because no one else can do it, and they haven’t — yet — decided to nuke one of our own cities. (The danger they’ll do it is still there.)
They had a vision, once. No, they really did. It was hippie dippie and utopian, but they genuinely believed in it. You catch echoes of it in classical science fiction, yes, including early (mostly) Heinlein.
You see, if only humans didn’t “want” — if there was nothing to crave — if food, and the necessities, and even sex were all freely available, then there would be no greed and no striving, Humans would be perfectly happy. It would be utopia.
Most of it was based on Freudianism, and the Margaret Meade’s fraud, and propaganda from the Soviet Union. But the young really believed, and it was a positive vision. If only they destroyed the stodgy, restrictive society, everyone would be free and equal and HAPPY.
Turns out it was all bullshit, between pseudo-science and outright lying. Heck, the only thing that pushing sex as ubiquitous and fully available seems to do is make people not want it, though they might still be bitter about not getting it, since “everyone else is.” I mean, honestly, I suspect — impossible to know for sure, but the testosterone levels tell a tale — the young are having less sex than even my generation. And we were the ones reacting against our parents’/older siblings’ crazy coupling. I suspect for the thirties and unders, the biggest issue is loneliness. And the crazy war between men and women that the left loves so much is helping none of it.
So, now, they don’t have a vision to sell. Okay, they’re still trying to sell it, particularly in the “victimhood is sanctified” sense. But it’s a negative vision. It’s a “don’t you dare think/say/do that” vision. It leaks out in lists of things that people can and cannot write about or think. You live in danger of excommunication if you forget Lisenkoism is in this week. Or out.
There is no glittering vision to aim for.
And Trump — ah, why they hate him, likely — did people see a very humble “vision” to aim for. You know, almost no unemployment (yes, I know the numbers now. They’re wonky. I know a lot of skilled people desperately looking for work), thriving economy, cheap energy, world peace.
Sure, it’s not everyone gets sex and three meals and a state apartment. But it’s — for most of us — enough.
The left can’t match that. All they can is guilt, scold and censor.
And that doesn’t hold. No, listen to me, that doesn’t hold.
It has held, sort of, in other countries, but remember, even Venezuela sends us (and other countries) their malcontents.
There is nowhere for Americans to go.
More importantly, the people they keep frauding in start at incompetent, and rapidly head to bloody insane.
Their ideas can’t and won’t work. For one, they’re not a coherent whole, but a collection of screaming slogans. They’re already experiencing that whole sanctuary city thing not working as they thought it would.
And there’s a lot, a lot of other chickens already on the wing, coming home to roost.
Yeah, I know we’re locked in here with them. But listen, we are also getting ready for hard times. They, by and large, are not. And we have basic competence. The “left” to the extent it’s your aunt Marge and her friends, really don’t.
More importantly, when the wheels come off in America, there is no one to feed us and look after us, in our socialist “paradise.” There is no one we can invade and steal from, as the USSR did for decades. Come on. At our size? No other country could. More importantly, we’re not Chinese peasants used to being trodden upon.
Yeah, the right will sneer at “urban” people, and use all of the Freman myth to tell itself that people really want/vote for this. it’s still bullshit.
What’s more, the left KNOWS it’s bullshit. They’re flailing wildly and insanely more and more. And they’re actually scared for 24. Which they shouldn’t be, given their ability to fraud. But they are. You can see them sweat. They’re like the crazy person compulsively checking all their security systems.
And trying to stomp us into giving up our guns.
My guess is that their own fear will make them do something incredibly stupid right about next Spring. I have no idea what that will be, but I get a feeling of something as stark, stupid and suicidal as Hamas did on 10/7.
And all it will do is wake up people.
If they can avoid that, people will still wake up. Because the zombie enables the enemies of freedom — like Hamas — and causes them to do stupid things. And then your aunt Marge and her friends — and their college students — think victory is at hand and take the mask off.
This means some group — probably a lot more than one group — that the left relies on for their fraud machinery is going to take a look at the hideous face of what they’re supporting between now and the elections in 24. The ones in 26 at the latest.
The preferable end to this is that those suddenly red pilled expose everything, and the machinery of fraud is bloodlessly dismantled.
And maybe we’ll be lucky. Maybe we’ll get very very lucky.
Of course, they call it getting lucky because the chance runs against it.
So–
Keep your powder dry. Keep your clothes and weapons where you can find them in the dark.
The map is about to get very arrowey and pointy indeed.
And what emerges on the other side is anyone’s guess. I think it’s running the way of freedom, but it doesn’t mean that there won’t be attempts at totalitarianism from the other side. After all, I was born and raised in a country that careened from anarchism (what commies called themselves before WWI) into national socialism. It’s not unheard of.
Except that national socialism, like its red sister, doesn’t really have a vision anymore. Not much beyond “Our country is wonnerful, our genes are a racial division, we are pure and stronk, do as we say.”
It might work for Europeans. But that’s not the way of America. And when in crisis, countries go back to their fundamentals. Our fundamentals not only aren’t but can’t be “blood and soil.” (Can’t be, because it makes no sense, logical or illogical. Hell, the only place it might work is in the West, if Mexican origin people claim it. And dear Lord, I hope not.)
So–
So, call off the circular firing squad. Have the courage to call fraud fraud. Trust the rest of the country to be incredibly silly, but not evil or self-harming. Because all the signs are still fraud. (And that Long Island thing makes me believe the people who think NYC went Trump in 2020 might be right.)
And stand by. Because one way or another, we will need to reinstall the fire alarm. Elections will need to be cleaned.
It’s going to hurt like a mother, because there’s a lot of people whose LIFE depends on fraud and theft.
But fraud and theft can’t win. Not “won’t be allowed to”. Can’t. Long run they destroy everything. And the world is used to America at least semi-working. They can’t live without us functioning.
And we can’t live without functioning, either.
Take a deep breath. The next decade or so will be like eating live frogs. But once that’s done, nothing as unpleasant will happen to us. (Right?)
And the future belongs to free men and women. Because we’re the only ones who can create it. Be not afraid.
According To Hoyt 
It’s going to be horrible but I think you’re right that we (not the royal We) will get through it to the other side.
“The number of women who “rolled over” on their infants is amazing.”
While I agree with the point, I’m suddenly flashing back to a discussion of a couple of years ago where the topic was the commonality of alcohol as the principal drink in the Middle Ages because the water wasn’t safe, and its effect on Underpants Gnome-style plotting among the nobility. It is entirely plausible that a significant percentage of rollover deaths were because of alcohol, much like today.
Um…. maybe, but I doubt it. Remember people were habituated. And the alcohol wasn’t high.
Also in the village lots of toddlers died from “drinking bleach”. Which was way more potent than here, and I can’t IMAGINE anyone with a functioning nose drinking.
Yeah. I lean murder.
One of my brothers, older than toddler age, chugged half a bottle of straight lemon juice without looking or smelling to see what it was – apparently thought it was soda.
So… I dunno. A few might not be murder.
Um…. so, way, way stronger than that. Like stings your skin near it. THey sell it at concentrations that are ILLEGAL here.
Ah. Thanks for the clarification.
.. ok, that’s impressive, not gonna lie.
Let’s just say they have remarkable leap before looking skills.
My darling baby brother ate comet powder from under the sink, (1969?) He is an attny now (we all like to argue). Idk why? Luckily he was all of our pet an someone noticed. Had his stomach pumped, was fine. Gave parental units grey hair as I remember.
I remember when I was in grade school I read articles in several different magazines about kids eating drain cleaner, and the heroic efforts to save their lives. (Shortly thereafter, there was a Federal mandate that all toxic chemicals be in childproof containers). So yes, totally believable that kids would drink highly-concentrated bleach, and in a community without the medical technology that was brought to bear in those articles, the kids would die of it.
I don’t like to point this out because SIDS does actually exist, but… the #1 correlation for SIDS risk is “mom started dating again.”
Similar to how often “baby left in vehicle dies from heat” where there’s video that folks didn’t know about has the relevant adult coming back repeatedly to see if the kid has stopped moving yet.
Sometimes folks pick murder methods because no decent human being wants to consider someone would do something so horrible, so it must be an accident.
One of my local acquaintances posted a thing about how there was no fraud in 2020.
By the time I saw it, he’d collected five laughing emojis and no agreements, and someone was arguing with him in comments.
(Look, the poor man had a brain injury: I don’t blame him for being deluded. Mostly I’m glad that he chooses to live in a state that doesn’t allow Doctor Assisted Suicide.)
Regardless of everything else, no one is ever going to convince me that Joe Biden got more votes than Obama. I’m sure there was fraud with him as well but there were also many liberals genuinely excited to vote for him.
If Biden’s opponent had been anyone but Trump it wouldn’t have been believed at all. But a bunch of people who absolutely despised Trump had to believe he lost fair and square because if they didn’t they would have had to defend him, and they….couldn’t. They just couldn’t.
One of your best
Vote fraud was old hat when I was a young boy. Chicago was infamous for rigged voting machines (they were mechanical then) – whatever lever you pulled, the result was a straight Dem ticket.
The issue is that the GOP and most conservatives are unwilling to get their hands dirty and take reprisals. “Vote harder” and “win outside the margin of fraud” were the slogans, not “stuff the ballot boxes with ballots for OUR ticket”, or even “Let’s not release our results and tell the Communists how many votes they need to fake up until AFTER the cities release theirs.”
Elections are supposed to be a pillow fight. The Left filled their pillowcase with rocks. Time to fill ours with rusty nails.
We can’t. That will blow it up.
What else will persuade them to stop?
Would prefer a workable alternative, but what realisticly remains? In 2024, if Trump or any meaningful Repub runs, they will print whatever ballots it takes to win. Even if the result seems ridiculous. And they will demand everyone agree on pain of more pain.
Because the Repubs won’t do more than fuss a bit. So the Left has its winning strategy.
Really hoping for some way to convince them not to go there, but I think their inner voice / ChiCom handlers -want- upheaval.
What peaceful means would turn them back from the power they have sought for a century?
Oddly, I think the Ham-ass idiots set up the opportunity. Their US minions and their Idiot From Auntie associates are going to Act Up, and discover that our Jews have teeth. As do their neighbors.
And guns. By the ton.
And once a few would-be Ham-Ass krystalknockers get turned to street pizza, the Left might realize that sort of thing can …. spread.
Thus an opportunity to declare peace and go back to less overt frauds.
Best case I see. I think the nonviolent options are wishful thinking at best. Won’t start none. Not my way. But I think things are about to get … interesting.
what will turn them back is already happening: the sense that things are falling apart. They keep getting crazier and crazier. And I think they’re going to do something obvious and unforgivable by Spring.
Consider their fraud machine and who they use for footsoldiers and manpower.
Unions, BLM, etc.
These people are parents (and blacks and hispanics are by and large significantly more socially conservative than the Dem baseline).
How many of them are really up for “trans all the kids” the way it is being pushed from the upper echelons? As long as their machine holds together, they can manage it, but as more and more individuals go “nope, I’m out”?
Isn’t the theme of this post is it will blow up eventually anyway?
BOHICA isn’t any more of the vision than the left has.
No. And there’s consequences for how and when things blow up.
They want us to fire on Ft Sumter. That is what Jan 6 was supposed to be. I think the attack was scheduled for when Trump was supposed to speak, so they could blame him. When he was late, they had the attack already scheduled. They could not wait. The feds are not that smart.
So they keep trying to get us to start, so they can load up the cattle cars to the camps, but we don’t cooperate. So doing nothing may be the smartest thing. Rope a dope. Keep them guessing. I warn people I am dangerous, I make you think.
You do not want the Civil War. Billions will die. Taiwan is the great unknown. What will China Do? So many possible futures. I didn’t have Hamas committing suicide.
“They want us to fire on Ft Sumter.”
Which is why they are pulling the crap with the border barriers in TX. You have TX DPS and Guard on one side, and the Feds on the other. Sooner or later, either the Feds will fire on TX personnel or vice versa (or the cartels will arrange for a blue on blue).
There were other creative ways of fixing the vote with the old machines. One was the demonstration of how-to-vote that had the helpful poll worker casting an additional vote. Thus the records of 110% voter turnout in certain places. (I never used a voting machine, but the descriptions said a lever would close the curtain and prime the machine. Opening the curtain recorded the votes. A legitimate demo would be done with the curtain open.)
Another one I’ve heard of was a fake telephone lineman doing a man-in-the-middle attack. The results from the poll center went to him, and he sent the “fixed” results to the central office. The person writing about this noted seeing telephone trucks outside polling places with a lineman who just happened to be there…
That could work, but stuffing ballot boxes scales easier and is less obvious to an observer.
In the precinct I observed, the top three parties from the last gubernatorial election were able to appoint election judges who would be doing the demos so they’d have also have an interest in putting a stop to that (although most cycles the LP was so useless they didn’t bother…they scored enough to have automatic ballot access for US Senate without petitions after one cycle as long as they fielded a candidate every time it came up…next Senate seat they didn’t bother then complained about having to petition).
“Thus the records of 110% voter turnout in certain places. ”
Any state with a 110% turnout in any precinct should have their votes nullified pending election and revote. No new legislation or regulation can be implemented until new elections can be held. Laws and regulations may be overturned.
And the only way you’ll get that is AFTER Revolutionary War 2.0.
WRT abortion, I think it’s an issue that needs to be soft-pedaled. There isn’t a consensus…yet. Not when it comes to the first trimester. I will say that I live in an area that gets a lot of the Virginia political ads, and the Dem advertising was “MAGA Extremism” and “abortion”. Nothing else.
In Ohio, the anti-amendment side showed Plain Vanilla ads that weren’t persuasive. Used Gov. DeWine and his wife. Bland and Blander.
They didn’t even TRY to counter the fake arguments of the Left.
I mentioned it in yesterday’s post, and I think it fits better with today’s –
People got worked up over the Virginia results, and there were lots of cries of how terribly Youngkin had supposedly done. But, while it’s true that the Dems still hold the state legislature, the Republicans apparently won in every Virginia district that was +9 or less for Biden in 2020.
That’s an amazing result. Yes, Youngkin might not have the majority he needs to enact real change in the state. But it’s still a huge change.
On abortion, I was raised Catholic, well before the commie pope, and that’s that for me. But societally what I see is that when the rules in France – France! – are officially termed “right wing extremism” here, then the official media Overton window has obviously been artificially shoved way off into the weeds, which means they have something they desperately want to hide about where the real window sits now, and where it is moving.
It’s mostly campaigns of fear and nonsense.
1. Would you mail $100 in cash? With ‘THIS ENVELOPE CONTAINS $100 CASH’ printed on the outside? Didn’t think so.
So, if you wouldn’t trust the mail with your money, WHY THE EVERLASTING F*K should we all trust our future to
fraudvote-by-mail?2. The Democrats are fanatically committed to unrestricted abortion, up to the moment of birth (at least). Why is that? How long do they need to make up their minds? It’s not like a woman can get 6 months pregnant overnight. If they can’t decide within 4 months, it should be too late.
3. Why is it so urgent to teach weird sex fetishes to first-graders? Why not let them grow up, and discover them for themselves? What are sex fetishes doing in school in the first place? I know, they can’t learn about sex by watching the horses these days, but the teachers unions have gone batshit crazy.
———————————
Not everybody should go to college. Some folks, you send ’em to college and you just wind up with an educated idiot.
I don’t understand the abortion thing on the dem part. I suspect it’s like the Nazis killing Jews frantically even as they lost the war. AND I DON’T GET IT.
To admit they lost the debate would be to admit they have been supporting something horrible the entire time. So, they can’t.
And since they cannot, they double, triple, quadruple down on it.
A hatred of all life and a desire to destroy the future. Spiritual wickedness in high places.
That’s because it’s not logical, it’s religious.
“The Democrats are fanatically committed to unrestricted abortion, up to the moment of birth (at least). Why is that?”
Because what they really want is the power of life and death over the whole population, from conception to your last breath. But all they can get right now is conception to birth, so they’ll take that and fight for more later.
See Canada for details, where the GOVERNMENT kills seven times more people than car accidents every year. Oh and not felons, by the way. Your grandma.
Don’t forget the PP body parts sales. Lamorghinis don’t grow on trees.
Yeah, it sucks to believe “thou art god” and not have the power to make your enemies pillars of salt.
The reason the Democrats support abortion until birth is so that they have more time to pressure their victims into getting them.
YES! With only early abortion, the mother only has to hide the pregnancy for a few months. Too many women pushed/coerced by the father or their birth family to abort for those people’s convenience.
I know! We can call for ‘Reasonable Abortion Control’! That’ll work, right? 😛
John C Wright has a bit from Twitter/X about number of voters vs. votes cast in Louden County, VA. For a school board race. Having read TexasTrashTalk’s article about the Houston School Board elections, let’s just say that I’m not surprised. https://www.scifiwright.com/2023/11/virginia-election-results/
Nothing to see here. Move along…
Oh, come on, that’s less than 107% turnout. For Democrats, that’s barely even trying. Some Detroit precincts had 220% turnout in 2020. Pennsylvania sent out 1.8 million mail-in ballots, and counted 2.6 million.
Biden* gained 800,000 votes while ‘counting was stopped’. When have they ever ‘stopped counting votes’ on Election Night? Lemme see, there was 2020 annnd…never. Not even in 1864 or 1944, in the middle of our two deadliest wars.
But there’s no election fraud. Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!
———————————
There’s statistically improbable, and then there’s ‘violates the fundamental principles of the universe’ improbable.
Abortion.
Someone. “I’m not capable of murder.” Same someone. “I’ve had an abortion.”
Me: “So you are capable of murder.”
One thing that really upsets me is a medical entry of “Involuntary Spontaneous Abortion” which is how miscarriages are tallied on medical forms. What non-medical key on is “Abortion”, not the “involuntary spontaneous” words.
I do not want to. But, Oregon.
Yeah. We had a museum funding measure (the county museums can’t access general funds because reasons, so there’s a new measure every 5 years) that had an interesting result.
Zillions of yard signs for the renewal (at double the tax rate of the previous–claim is for repairs. Maybe.) and none against. The results came out with the ayes 0.5% ahead of the nays. (A total of 80 votes, since nothing else was on the ballot.) I think most elections in our county are honest, but that result just seemed odd.
I hate fraud(?)-by-mail.
We didn’t have anything on the ballot this year. Eugene (not us, despite the address), and other jurisdictions, including the River Road District, did. Noticed the RR Park District 5 year renewal tax passed 75% to 25%. That pays for the River Road Park and Pool, in district costs, for pool, etc., access, are different (by a lot) than out of district. Even when sister was on the RR swim team, the folks had to pay out of district annual pool membership for her to swim. Neighbors paid for a family yearly pass, but then all 3 of their girls were on the swim team.
How do we know the Demonrats perpetrated voter fraud?
Sleepy Joe told us so:
“(W)e have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.”
Technically we are tubes with four openings, because both nostrils lead into nasal passages that connect with the esophagus. The human body is topologically equivalent not to a doughnut but to a pretzel.
LOL. And this is why I love you guys.
Very true, dear hostess. Very true.
It’s fraud.
It’s also lies.
People believed that Mitt Romney was going to outlaw tampons for crying out loud.
How in the world can they get people to believe something as stupid as that?
And yet the very same liars are believed every election. And the lies get more and more outlandish but, apparently, if you repeat them enough…and you have the right credentials…
Or, MAYBE, most people aren’t really that stupid after all. MAYBE they want us to think we are that stupid so we don’t look too closely at the oligarchs behind the curtain and instead think, “Oh well, the majority must be for this and Our Precious Democracy!”
It’s a cover for fraud.
“People believed that Mitt Romney was going to outlaw tampons for crying out loud.”
I know of someone (not personally) who was claiming he was going to outlaw birth control. Never mind that he wasn’t the devout Catholic candidate in that election (and even Santorum never so much as hinted at that)…
IIRC, Mark “Uterus” Udall was claiming the same about his Republican opponent in 2018 (I think).
Oh, yeah. Overnight, my gynecologist was WHISPERING about the pill I was taking to deal with hormone issues. (Keep in mind that this made me SLIGHTLY more likely to conceive) like this was a fear of retaliation or something….
If a President actually wanted to outlaw tampons, how exactly could that be done? Through the FDA, which is far-left?
I don’t see even the biggest possible nutjob managing to pull that off.
In theory, the president could shepherd a law through Congress. Because we all know that those Reichwing Rethuglicans legislators are just itching to do away with women’s hygiene products and birth control.
OT: Frank Borman just passed away at age 95. He was on Gemini 7 and Apollo 8.
Oh Sarah, don’t you know that talking about election fraud is high treason? You have to wait until a Republican is president again before it’s okay to discuss that.
ask me if I care. The democrats are the traitors.
they haven’t — yet — decided to nuke one of our own cities. (The danger they’ll do it is still there.)
Then red state cities are more dangerous than blue state ones:
They’ll enjoy killing red staters.
They think that is needed to get the “MAGA SS” onboard with their war while thinking we’d love NYC to get nuked.
Not if NYC really went against them. Or one of the others. And Lord they’ve been destroying those.
Put yourself in their heads…they would be sure we wouldn’t enlist unless it was a Red State that go nuked because they know they only cared about 9/11 was it was two of their cities, NYC and DC, that were hit.
Same reason suddenly the new Army ads feature white men…they know they need us as cannon fodder and don’t think we’ll enlist due to a “Heather has two mommies” ad from a couple of years back.
Nope. They’ll want it to be important. And they’re virtually foreigners. Probably NYC. They know what 9/11 did to us.
Ya, but the animosity against Liberal states has never been higher. It is really getting to the point that the rest of us feel they made their beds they can sleep in them, alone. Look at the attack on Israel, we see all those liberal people supporting the murdering of children, raping of women and the attempts to justify those actions. Quite frankly, I hope Hollywood sinks into the sea along with all those liberal stars. If they do something to NYC or other large Liberal city, it would be interesting to see the results. When I served I didn’t serve for republicans only, nor for democrats only and at the time was a registered independent. I served and swore an allegiance to the constitution first, for the people, even the ones I hated second. I am no longer in the service, I still support the constitution, not politicians or the government. And it is getting harder and harder to care about blue cities and the tyranny they inflect upon their own states.
I think the appropriate response is a missile, with “Um. Thank you. But we take out our own garbage. Here is our reply!” (Long winded, I’m sure someone will come up with something better.)
Probably closer to “Thanks a bunch! Your turn now” written on the rocket.
See! I knew you word smiths would come through. Although, with inspiration …
“Thanks a bunch! Your Turn!”
“Thanks! Your Turn!”.
“Thanks! Adios!”.
From Perun: The forecast for tomorrow is sunny with an 95% chance of Tomahawk.
Maybe.
This time I’m not sure I’d care about DC, NYC, or any West Coast city.
Boston and Providence maybe because I have friends and good memories there, but I’d be more heart broken about the NJ Turnpike more than NYC or DC due to memories of driving it buck naked once.
Ok, I think I need to hear this story…. ((passes Herb a beer))
So my friend from the Boston Netgoth list p0rn (the name was from his company supplied email that he used when first joining the mailing list) was moving his gf from DC to Boston. He asked for someone to fly down and help (specifically, drive the UHaul); he’d pay for the plane ticket.
I had yet to meet A., his gf, and didn’t have much of a life outside NG (this was not long after my first wife left) so I said sure. We were to fly in Friday, pickup and load the UHaul and drive up Saturday. The place was to be already packed.
It wasn’t.
And I hadn’t brought a change of clothes.
Sunday we headed up
And this was July 4th weekend. Let’s just say I’d sweat a lot and had chaffeed by late Saturday night when the truck was loaded.
After leaning down for the toll booths on the Maryland Turnpike I realized no one could see me below the shoulders. So, I took off my shorts and underwear and let myself air dry in an abrasion free environment.
About the time we crossed the bridge over the Delaware River from Delaware to NJ I remembered a book I’d recently read, A Season on the Trail about through hiking the AT. One thing it discussed was Summer Solstice being “Hike the Trail Naked Day”, so I declared the day (I think July 3rd) drive the NJ Turnpike Naked Day and took off my shirt.
The rest is history. I got dressed when we stopped at the Vince Lombardy rest area at the far end of the Turnkpike. I felt much better.
Heh, ok, that’s pretty amusing.
I keep pumping Huntsville, presumably out of masochism since I’m not that far away, but Nashville would be another possibility. Growing, vibrant, home of that icky country music, capital of a red state…what’s not to love?
OK, the mayor appears to be reliably leftist, but no place is perfect.
A court gave a computer expert access to a voting machine. It didn’t go well for the voting machine. The >>> denotes portion of the court pleading that I have excerpted.
This guy just examined one machine in Georgia
-BMD = ballot measuring device (not the Soviet IFV)
1) Election workers are not competent act physical security measures. If election officials don’t even bother to properly use the insufficient security seals that they are provided that speaks to a huge systemic issue. So we know that the equipment is not secure.
2) You can’t even tell how you cast your ballot. The machine counts it with a QR code
Attackers could cause the BMDs to print QR codes that differ from voters’ selections while leaving the human-readable text of the ballot unchanged.
3) You don’t even need access to the voting machine in order to tamper with the ballots.
4) You don’t even need much access to one of their printers to foul up the election results:
5) The ballot scanners with count photo copies of a ballot. All you need here is one ballot voted the way you want. You can then run off 5000 copies of it and the machine will read them.
7) Dominion apparently does not care about fixing the vulnerabilities in their system.
8) Dominion is not truthful about the security of their system.

I have never talked to a software engineer that thought voting machines were an acceptable way to run elections. Not one.
Also, I’m beginning to think voter turnout in big blue cities is around 10% in actual terms, meaning that almost all the votes in big cities are fraud. It’s the only way to explain living in a total shithole and no one but those who created the shithole wining elections.
Computer ones, no.
But I would have faith in old fashion lever mechanical machines. I’ve been an election observer with them and they might be harder to fraud than paper ballots.
See the Chicago training trick I mentioned above. OTOH, even with U-punch-it voting cards, there’s room for a sufficiently motivated party to fraud to win.
Yep. A 100% secure system is impossible. It is making the cost to fraud your way into power at least an order of magnitude (or 3) higher than campaigning. For most offices, I think lever action machines reach that threshold by holding fraud per machine to retail levels.
As for the phone, man in the middle attack, that’s easily resolved by having the call be the preliminary result but the official be on the signed tally sheets with mutually opposed parties required to both sign.
The big reveal at least down here is how many counts were able to be held with only one faction present with no real alarm by the excluded party.
My plan would be to put every paper ballot in a box and count the BALLOTS only first. Then the total number of ballots is announced. After the total is known (for the entire voting area, district, state) then count the votes for the candidates. If the total votes for candidates doesn’t equal the vote total at the end (within 1%) the election is null. Also if the total number of ballots is larger than the number of registered voters then BAM election thrown out and the registrar in charge of the election goes on trial.
They would have to know the exact margin of fraud, not go over the # of registered voters, and ballot stuffing would be their only vector to cheat.
They’d still cheat, but it’s the fairest I can come up with.
And eventually someday, they will have to agree with something like this under threat of that much disliked National divorce.
Which is why ballots must be handled as classified documents, signed for and witnessed at every transfer of custody, and all counting must be done in public. With modern technology, the counting can be live-streamed in HD so everybody can watch. Anybody that objects to such security measures is an election fraud enabler.
One of the many problems with fraud-by-mail — there is no verifiable chain of custody. Ballots go into mailboxes, pallets of ballots are delivered to election offices, with no assurance that all, or even any of them are the same ballots, that none were ‘lost’ along the way, to be found a week after the election dumped in a ditch, that no ‘extras’ mysteriously appeared when nobody was looking.
If you wouldn’t trust the mail with your money, WHY should we trust it with our future?
———————————
Statistically, the Democrats should elect at least a dozen dead Congresscritters to represent all their dead voters!
The county clerk (who handles the counts and other election items) has a ballot deposit box just outside the office in the county building. Inside, and barring some form of break-in, it’s as secure as such things are. We’ve used that since we moved here.
When Flyover County was looking to ban “legal” pot shops via a county-wide vote, the outdoor ballot box next to the senior center was attacked. I think the break-in attempt failed, but it was a bad sign. FWIW, pot shops are illegal in the county, but Flyover Falls and one large town (pop 1000) allowed them, partially negating the county ban. Not sure of the situation in F-Falls, but the large town’s mayor went into the pot shop business and not-so surprisingly spearheaded the town’s stance. Arggh. I don’t know the circumstances for the city, but assume palms got greased. Seems to be a lot of pot shops there, though looking at historical trends, a bunch will go out of business. Much like the tanning salons/beauty shops/used car dealers. All businesses that sprang up and crashed after the wood products industry got killed. Thanks, eco-nazis and spotted-owl creeps.
The pot shops are a joke in Eugene. Whenever a defunct office/store front, especially the fast food variety, start seeing renovations the query is “What? Another pot shop?” Heck TPTB allowed one to go right next door to a firearms dealer. Which is why there is now a sign on their door stating “Employees are ARMED!” I presume not all pot shops survive. But with so many, since it isn’t something I pay attention to, I really have no idea.
[Chuckle] Well, actually, more like [Horselaugh]
If somebody is stupid enough to try and rob a gun store, it should be considered ‘evolution in action’. After all, if they want a Darwin Award that desperately, who are we to deny them? 😛
———————————
Natural selection. Making the world a better place, one idiot at a time.
Trust me. The gun store staff in question have heard (and generated a few) all the jokes.
You mean Biden should be allowed to keep ballots in his garage? I mean, he probably already does, but…
Likely under the classified documents in the corvette.
While a software engineer, I am no way a near being a hacker (too lazy). I concur (or +1). Voting machines are no way to run elections.
Human readable countable votes. Quick old fashion scanner counter, but the countable votes had better match.
Traditionally not one either but thinking of taking the CEH I’d I’d can string enough days of giving a damn together. Was doing better than average until yesterday.
It used to be, I’m told, that Democrats in high places campaigned against voting machines. Because they were vulnerable to fraud.
I guess that was before someone explained to them that they could use the voting machines for fraud.
I know when I lived in Asbury Park at least once I went in to vote in the afternoon and was the first person. More than once the second or third person. The voting place was in an apartment building.
I know waaaaay too much about computers to trust ‘voting machines’.
And that’s if the engineers and programmers were competent and conscientious, and dedicated to making the machines and the reporting/counting process as secure and accurate as possible.
With machines designed in Venezuela to rig elections for Hugo Chavez, owned by an entity in Barcelona through a series of shell companies, that send the vote data to servers in Germany, that have been observed communicating with computers in China during the election?
What do you think?
There was a county in (IIRC) Minnesota where the machines flipped the votes it was due to human error and not malfeasance.
They don’t even make their machines so that honest and relatively competent people can avoid mistakes.
Pennsylvania, and that’s their story and they’re sticking to it. Depends on how crufty the machine election code really is. My hardware-programming skills are really old, but I got a distinct whiff of dead fish from that story.
I think it was Michigan, actually. But they both start with an ‘M’.
The error was discovered when the actual winner received fewer votes in the initial (incorrect) tally than the number of people in his own family.
Oh, wait, you might be thinking of the election this week, while I’m thinking of 2020. This week it was the races for a couple of high court justices in Pennsylvania.
That it can happen at all indicates, if not malfeasance, utter incompetence.
I’m sorry, but is it supposed to be some kind of surprise when your party loses a rigged election to the party that rigged it? Are we still pretending the US elections aren’t crooked as F-?
Dominion voting machines. They’re crooked. PROVEN crooked. Time after time. Still using them? Oh well…
(And by the way, still using them in Canada too. And every time Shiny Pony wins, the Conservatives all act shocked and surprised. Like the elections were still -elections-.)
Oh and another thing, is it a level playing field when one faction OWNS the media and dictates what it will say, 24/7/365, everything from print to movies? No its not.
So these Republicans are playing 1950s football in a 2023 Rollerball match, on a rigged playing field in a poisoned media environment against DemocRat opponents who arrest then and throw them in jail during the election.
Gee, those election results were so surprising eh? FFS.
I would be very politically active, to the point of volunteering if we settled elections by Rollerball (original, not that stupid remake)…and make Presidential elections a no substitutions game.
At least as of 2020 and probably 2022, the GOP acts like everyone plays by Roberts’ and Marquis of Queensbury’s Rules, and they cannot (institutionally) conceive that anyone could cheat enough to win a major election by fraud. The Democrats, meanwhile, play bar-fight-Calvinball, and as of 2016 (maybe even 2000 with Bush v Treehugger) apparently cannot conceive that anyone could win enough to take a major election WITHOUT fraud, because it’s the “normal way” that elections are DONE.
At least, that’s what it looks like from here.
It smacks of willful ignorance, doesn’t it? They know the election is crooked and they can’t win, but they pretend everything is fine.
There must be money in it somehow.
They get paid for controlled opposition to sustain the illusion that the suckers still have a say.
Partly. Partly because it’s such an enormity to accept.
I’d argue for willful ignorance on both sides. One (for whatever reason) would rather not admit to things that require the hard work of getting their hands dirty to prove or prevent. The other would (more understandably) rather not have to confess that “dirty” (or bloody) is not the natural state of hands.
And the Dems like winning more than the GOP hate losing, so….!
If they fraud a win in 24 and put Trump in jail, I will never stand for the national anthem again, I will withdraw all support for the military and will act as if my country is under total fascist control.
And I won’t be alone.
And if after this time you are antifa or a hamas supporting piece of shit and step in front of me with your all black outfit with added face covering I will do what needs to be done to all real fascists.
If they put Trump in jail til he dies, the butchers bill for getting free again is going to go up a lot in price.
And if they do do that, then I will pray to God to damn them to the darkest pit of hell.
The left is playing for keeps, but there is a switch that once it’s thrown will mean that no matter how loud or often they scream “stop, please, stop” it will be met with “no, we warned you, and you didn’t listen.”
You jail your political rivals like the Soviets did and we WILL make you pay for desecrating our nation.

Refusing to honor the United States is exactly the wrong response. You need to stand up for the Constitution, and the ideals it represents, now more than ever; when they’re being held hostage by our enemies.
Besides, displays of patriotism really get their goats.
———————————
‘Progressives’ suppress free speech because they don’t have the means to suppress free thought.
Yet.
Well, if they win in 24, I expect they’ll change the flag to that hideous arrow rainbow flag that represents everyone except straight white people. So we’ll get to keep the Stars and Stripes to march under.
If they do, we continue to salute our flag, and render their flag the One-Finger Salute it deserves. 😛
THEY hate the flag, the anthem and the constitution. In fact, they act on them like the cross on vampires.
Well, all I can say is that in my town, 40% are GOP, 40% are Dems, and 20% are independent. The Dems come out in greater numbers and vote in lockstep. The GOP comes out and votes if they feel like it and it doesn’t interfere with their plans for the afternoon. The independents are all over the place.

Which is funny, because Kukuruyo is a Spaniard.
Given the opportunity I would Thanos snap each and every person who committed election fraud and the politicians they elected. Once found anyone who has cheated should be taken out in the middle of the street and hung by their neck from street lamps. (That is after the Judicial System gives them the proverbial slap on the wrist, Hang a few judges as well) And everyone who told them too as well. I will say I wouldn’t walk across a sidewalk and urinate on a Democrat Politician if the vile thing was on fire. Sorry, I know I am not being a good christian, but some things from hell need to be punished, like all democrats.
If they do something biggly stupid, may god have mercy on their souls, it is at that point that people will start killing politicians wholesale, and I consider Liberal News people politicians.
G-d may have mercy. I am not called to do so.
The fuckers hurt my wife and my kids, shortened her grandfather’s life by years through isolation. And that’s just Covid. They routinely hurt kids, both via trans crap and the stunting of their brains with what they’ve done to education and entertainment. And now they’re backing people who film themselves stabbing kids.
If it comes to it, let them burn.
Things spinning out of control….
Just this past week we get part of the Nashville shooter’s manifesto leaked, and it gives a picture of a woman utterly consumed by envy and resentment. A white woman determined to kill white children, officially because they’re “privileged,” but actually because they might be innocent and happy.
Plus the massive, horrifying Jew-hatred spewing out of colleges and universities. As if all the masks are off. But will enough people notice?
The “How Dare You” response about the leak is telling.
“When someone tells you who they are, believe them”.
And unfortunately that particular department just informed everyone of exactly who and what they are.
What they are saying, both with the reaction to release of the manifesto, and the non-reaction to the harassment of and outright violent attacks against Jews, is that the left thinks it is not only okay to assault and outright murder people that leftists dislike, but that they endorse and encourage such attacks. .They want to eliminate all they dislike, in the fullest sense of the word.
The left’s ideology is not only ultimately totalitarian in nature, it is also inherently genocidal.
Always was.
Honestly once the shooting incident dropped off the news cycle it was a red flag that the perpetrator was not someone they could even close to spin as white hetro male nazi/racist. The more recent mass shootings has also dropped off the news cycles. More red flags that the perpetrators cannot be even close to being labeled a nazi/racist. Or the usual suspect news cycles would be doing that to the Nth degree. It’s like they finally learned that they will be outed, ridiculed, and laughed at, if they try. Took them a long time. But the clue 2×4 finally has gotten through. We’ll see how long that lasts.
It did strike me how really lame her manifesto was. Basically ‘mop hair bad. Hate their dadies’
I remember some where the guy was convinced he was a vampire because the soap dish was wet, or the tower shooter who basically said he had no idea why he was doing this but couldn’t stop. Even the girl who shot up a school because she hated Mondays, her parents had given her the gun because they expected her to commit suicide with it.
This one was ‘I smolder with petty irritation.’ I guess I expected too much from something that, if it was released, was supposed to bathe the city in blood?
Just another example of how pathetically small the progtard left is.
Someones with M O N E Y are noticing. As in clawing back huge *endowments, and/or not pledging anything new (people who pledge a lot more money than I’ll see, ever). Suggesting others do the same.
((*)) Might ask how? Some endowments are essentially “Here is a bucket of money. Here are the rules; including, can be revoked if the rules are broken, or at the privilege of whomever has control. Can’t use the base endowment balance. Can the endowment’s earnings under the rules.”
Most of the ones I’ve seen are on-going donors. They can’t rescind past donations, but they turned the tap off going forward. Still to the tune of a noticeable chunk of the budget. I’ve SEEN how universities scramble when even one big donor threatens to walk.
They are the mast majority. Those with money enough to have the clout over revocable endowments are extremely few. Also could be some regular contributions are large enough to be considered endowments. IDK
The only endowment I am aware of is the one controlled by the state historical preservation office that offers up grants. Set up by an Aunt and Uncle, the family graveyard gets the endowment annual interest (< $1400/year). But to keep getting that annual interest a report has to be filed every 3 years. What has been done with the money, if not spent, why not. If rules aren’t followed, no more “grant” money. The family who set it up doesn’t get it back, the state office keeps it.
Wait – the endowments are being hit?
That’s…. holy crap.
Details?
I’ve heard reports that Harvard, as an example of being hit in the endowment revoke pain, but can’t find a written report. OTOH the link above details difference between Endowments and Donations, including this little tidbit:
Now whether the endowments people are mentioning actually can be revoked is a different topic. But mentioned non the less.
That is what I thought too, when I heard it reported. (Fox News.)
Pollster Rich Barris has a beautiful, epic rant about the Republican Party and how utterly stupid it is being, particularly about abortion, and it has zero to do with fraud. He backs his position up with his own polling data.
Short version, the abortion issue should have been dealt with in baby steps after the overturning of Roe. Start gently, with late term bans in the states. Then gradually persuade people to go earlier and earlier, the same ratchet that the left has been doing for a century but in the other direction.(My characterization not his.) But no, the geniuses had to be virtuous and push for full bans in a few places, which played right into lefty propaganda and scared the vote out against them all over the place.
I don’t buy it. It’s still the fraud. Sorry.
I’m not denying that there’s fraud, I’m saying there is more to that particular issue than fraud.
Also, when was the last time the Pierre Delecto set were even slightly competent at being anything other than losers?
I’m open to the argument. Except maybe in Utah.
Lindsey “National Ban Incoming!” Graham probably would have invalidated that anyway, though.
As for RFK, he’s not going to pull from Trump. Like, at all. And nobody I know of believes that’s even possible.
What is possible is if the idiots somehow get Trump pulled from the race entirely, his votes will go to RFK, because they are both populist, “Fuck the establishment” voices. I doubt he can pull enough to win anywhere, but that’s the only way he can gain Trump voters (and he clearly does not want to do that, he wants to take out the deep state).
All he’ll “pull” from Trump are those who claim to vote Republican but only vote for anyone but Trump (or anyone resembling him . . . to save conservatism, don’tchaknow. they might vote JEB! but he’s dangerously rightwing!) then go all tantrum and vote for Biden, or not vote at all. RifFKy is not just anti-wuflu vaxx, but totally anti-vaxx, and yes, about as commie as Teddy wished he could have gotten away with.
Nope, not even them. He’s got the same brash disregard for the niceties that Trump has. They’d rather vote for Mitt 2.0.
I really liked this one Sarah. The time you clearly put into it was worth it.
One thing I notice is more and more black people are waking up, especially due to all the illegal immigration and the Get Trump vengeance. A man getting railroaded by the establishment feels awfully familiar to a lot of them. Other minority groups are seeing the insanity of the trans mafia. The left’s stranglehold is weakening.
One vector 2024 seems obvious to me: that the “every vote should count” mantra pushed for the last decade or more will get turned up to 11 as the left will somehow get illegals to cast ballots. For sure it’s happening at the local levels, but they’ll find a way to parlay that into the national ones as well. In other words, Cloward-Pivening it worse than last time: overload it with so much fraud that the clock will run out, like 2020 on steroids.
Their Obamaesque arrogance is starting to become a noose around the left’s own necks. They’re saying the quiet parts out loud. The hope I have is that more people will have the scales fall from their eyes and become ungovernable.
Great quote from an X-Tweet, which I will also copy because I still can’t get Herbn’s links to come through, but there is a video there if it works. (h/t Not the Bee)

TRUMP: “No matter how hateful or corrupt the communists and criminals we’re fighting against may be, you must never forget: This nation does not belong to them. This nation belongs to you.”

I shall scream. Yes, I shall. I wrote a long post and this is what’s left after WP got done with it.
You are mistaken, Sarah. There is much that can be done that would be effective. Alas, it all looks like WORK! as Maynard Krebs was frequently heard to yelp. Look into the work of David Jose: https://rumble.com/user/Davecaresforyou
Start at the beginning and work forward.
I am sorry, Sarah, I can’t finish your post.
You say, “But on the individual side, there is pretty much almost nothing we can do. Except one thing: We can refuse to buy that there was no fraud, or that “everyone is socialist” now.”
Yes, we must continue to refuse to accept their lies. More, we must CALL THE LIES OUT right out loud and in public. They are making that dangerous, but they can’t carry it off if a substantial portion of the population won’t yield the point. We can educate ourselves on the facts and know them well enough to recite them and explain them. Delve into Jovan Hutton Pulitzer’s work with Cyber Ninjas in the Maricopa Arizona (mostly) full forensic audit. Look at the voting machine audit done in Antrim County, Michigan.
But there is more that can be effectively done.
I personally am on board with Dave Jose’s real law approach. No, not with lawyers, the sign that the revolution has come will be rows of lamp posts adorned with lawyers. I turns out that in every State in the Nation, without exception, it is stated that all political power is with the People. The legislature and all appointed officials are AT ALL TIMES accountable to the People. The People have the right at ANY time to alter, reform or abolish the government when there is the DANGER of maladministration, save only that it be republican in form. On and on and on, read your State Constitutions, people.
Learn about the Maxims of Law. For example: Where form is not observed, a nullity of the act is inferred or follows. If Trump, or any defrauded candidate, had said, “Oh, Secretary of State, We the People require you to prove that you conducted this election according the rules specified in the State Constitution.” They can’t. Game over. We have seen the Donks use it against each other, inevitably the election is declared invalid and re-run.
Government has one job that takes precedent over all others: protect the individual rights of the People. This they swore to by oath. It’s in your State Constitutions. “Mr. Legislator, you swore to protect the individual rights of the People, please show us in the Constitution where you got the power to attack our rights. If you can’t or won’t, either provide this exact remedy we require or by default admit that you are trespassing against the People deliberately and with malice.” Prison time, anyone?
99% of elected and appointed representatives have no clue to what’s in the Constitution they swore to uphold, even the good ones. They key here is for the People to consult together for their common good and address their government officials with formal notices and affidavits. Of course this will take some time to organize and implement – WORK! – which 99% of people don’t want to do.
Go back and start at the beginning. https://rumble.com/user/Davecaresforyou
I wish I knew how to insert an image, there seems to be a way. Can anybody help?
I think I read about a county in California recently that decided to vote with paper votes. They were forbidden by the state government, but the county officials said they were going to use paper ballots anyway.
I expect other counties will began doing the same.
I thought I heard that New Hampshire was considering seceding if Brandon started WWIII? If that really happens, there will be other states. And then recalling the Virginia counties considering seceding from Virginia to join West Virginia when 2A was in jeopardy. Things could get a bit silly.
“They were forbidden by the state government, but the county officials said they were going to use paper ballots anyway.”
Were the candidates elected by this forbidden method allowed to take office?
Yeah, Sacramento told them to stand down, they said “Up yours” so the Sacramento corruptocrats passed a law making hand counting illegal. The People have the power to knock that law down.
I had been active in R politics here in Shaky Town until I saw that the Party bosses were not only unalterably opposed to the Republican base, but with the evidence of election maladministration clear before their eyes still believe (or claim to believe) that they can outvote the algorithms and the dead with a more vigorous Get Out The Vote effort.
“They say votes must be counted by machine. Very well, We are A. Machine, B. Machine, C. Machine, etc. Do agree, Your Honor?”
Well, that way they can still try to get donations and say “but we’re doing all we can”, without upsetting TPTB in power.
Back in the ’80s a friend (and NRA Life Member, maybe higher level than that) opined that the gun control debate and issue was going to last as long as both sides could fundraise off of it. I haven’t found any reason to dispute that take.
He passed away long before the abuses at the top of NRA became public, but it would have been instructive/entertaining/vocabulary-enriching to get his take on the current situation.
I was quite surprised to see this time that my little county, while still using the “scan your government ID to check in” system, had eschewed the ballot scanners.
We had to dump our ballots in a closed box through a slit in the top, just like old times.
Well… It has been a fun ride… And I’m still praying we can get America back in my lifetime…
I have a feeling, that has been strengthened over the years, that the Republican leadership likes being the Washington Generals (Harlem Globetrotters reference for those young people in the audience) as long as they are allowed to play the game. So far I have seen nothing that disabuses me from that thought.
Exactly. It is all a kabuki dance to keep the rubes quiet while they’re fleeced. The Pubbies just want a place at the taxpayer trough.
I would quibble with you on one point. It is not kabuki but bunraku we are watching where you are not supposed to watch the puppeteers.
Maybe its just plain Bunko.
That is an all perfect summary.
Yes, they are happy losers. I mean, it’s a good business model for them: they rake in donations and then don’t have to do any actual work after the election.
The Proggies have a mantra that we of a more conservative bent would be wise to adopt: “Think globally, act locally.” All this discussion of losing elections, banning abortions, impeaching officials, etc., etc., et-you’re-frickin-annoying-me-cetera is just so much wasted ineffectual bloviation. We gotta change the climate. Not as keyboard warriors, but as engaged citizens making positive contributions to our communities and “witnessing our faith” as sober examples and constructive leaders. I’m bored to tears listening to people who show up once every two or three years to public meetings to whine inarticulately about some difficult problem, and then wander off when the hard work of fixing it begins. Jumped-up-Jesus-on-a-skateboard! I worked in a volunteer group with my city for 3 YEARS to get a donated tree planted in a park and damnit, we got that tree. Got lots of other stuff, too, because we were there, persistent and engaged. So off your butts, turn off the computer, and get out in the streets, and get ‘er done.
all TOO…
