Any marriage performed on June 5 of this year is doomed. Sorry for the late notice, but cancelling everything and rescheduling is probably going to be cheaper in the long run. And next time you schedule, make sure the moon isn’t aligned with the earth, the sun, and Venus retrograde, okay? And your wedding planner really should have checked that for you, she owes you at least a partial refund.
Beyond that this is a bad week to be in command, with Jupiter retrograde-Saturn retrograde-Luna indicating debacles of the governmental kind and an interlocking Mars-Sol through that Saturn retrograde extending that disaster (literally, “bad stars”) to military events as well.
The cards back up the advice with one of the married couples of the Major Arcana drawn reversed.
Gemini: 7 of Coins reversed – Cause for anxiety regarding money
Cancer: The Hierophant reversed – Society, good understanding, concord, overkindness, weakness
Leo: 8 of Swords – Bad news, violent chagrin, crisis, censure, power in trammels, conflict, calumny, sickness.
Virgo: The High Priestess reversed – Passion, moral or physical ardor, conceit, surface knowledge.
Libra: 3 of Coins – Trade, skilled labor, nobility, aristocracy, renown, glory.
Scorpio: Page of Coins reversed – Prodigality, dissipation, liberality, luxury, unfavorable news.
Sagittarius: Justice – Equity, rightness, probity, executive, triumph of the deserving side in law
Capricorn: 9 of Wands reversed -Obstacles, adversity, calamity.
Aquarius: Page of Swords – Authority, overseeing, secret service, vigilance, spying, examination
Pisces: 4 of Cups reversed – Novelty, presage, new instruction, new relations.
Aries: King of Swords – Power, command, authority, militant intelligence, law, offices of the crown
Taurus: The Hanged Man reversed – Selfishness, the crowd, body politic.
Gemini: 7 of Coins reversed – Cause for anxiety regarding money
Come now, i thought this was supposed to be different from the regular week.
Yeah, I worry about my job every day I go into work.
Well, NA was way off last week so maybe that means we Gemini’s are all going to win the lottery this week. I am starting to think he makes this stuff up.
Well times are tight. I want my money back…. oh wait… Damnit!

So more rioting?
At least payday is next week. A short check, but still.
“Beyond that this is a bad week to be in command, with Jupiter retrograde-Saturn retrograde-Luna indicating debacles of the governmental kind and an interlocking Mars-Sol through that Saturn retrograde extending that disaster (literally, “bad stars”) to military events as well.”

Nice.
So they’ll stop looting and burning private property when they get free healthcare.
Fuck off.
“healthcare is a human right”
No. It is a service. If you believe services are rights then you believe in slavery.

Meh i could care less what the CCP and Supreme leader are going to do, they’ll take anything. What gets me riled up is the Europeans with their concern trolling. “Racism doesn’t exist here in Europe, i just don’t get why Americans hate each other just based off their skin color.”
Trick any of them into going to the outer rings of their cities, then if they survive ask them how they feel.
“Racism doesn’t exist here in Europe”
Bwahahaaahhhahhaaahha!
And I didn’t think the Eurofags had any sense of humor.
Tell you what how about a deal, we take their “rioters” and we give them our “protestors” we will see who has it better.
Good deal. The antifa will all be in Chicom camps shortly after their arrival. Let’s see how much they really love communism.
That’s a hell of a troll.
LOL
Now, killing all the Jews on the other hand….
That’s…and insane view of things.

For a few weeks the horoscope didn’t sound so bad, but it reversed to the usual doom and gloom for Capricorns.
The stars are back in proper alignment.
I’m not a waspologist, but can we release the murder hornets on antifa?
It would be a delicate Sting operation.
There is no monopoly of common nonsense on either side of the political fence
I felt like that would be a prime police set up…

Wait until Gulag Barbie decides to join them in the street and release the swarm! I want that on camera.

Trump is declaring Antifa a terrorist organization.
One more step to the normalization of political violence and governmental suppression of civil rights.
Thanks a lot assholes.
Linke? (Not that i don’t believe you, just want to read about it.)
Sigh. I don’t like Antifa one bit. But what drives me nuts is that this will play into “being supressed by the man” narrative, and probably give them some cover as oppresed for the Media that has been covering for them for the last 3 years.
Also, not a fan of declaring political groups as terrorsit orgs, even though Antifa is more an active paramilitary group than political organization. It doesn’t help that they have been given support by the local governments, so that they have been able to act with impunity. Bike lock guy got of scott free, as did all the masked guys in the brawl with the Proud Boys.
They are a terrorist organization. They’re engaging in organized violent attacks on citizens and businesses with the stated goal of destroying the country. I wonder how much of their funding comes from China?
So what are we supposed to do with them?
Shoot them. They declared war and are actively prosecuting it now.
Not a political group.
About time. I suspect this was needed to unwind their organization and run down their funders.
The fascist that go by the name ‘antifascist’ ARE terrorists. They commit acts of violence toward a political end. Fuck them.
And it’s organized and funded by various entities. They’re a terrorist organization, period. I don’ts see any controversy here. The only problem is they are still getting away with it. It has to stop or we’ve lost our country, period.
Yeah. I’m ok with this.
i’m still wary about targeting orgs. Arrest and prosecute the violent actors, But outlawing organizations is something i’m cautious about. I’m thinking that a few bad gun rights protests and you see GOA being outlawed.
A huge part of the problem is that in many of these cities, the justice system has been politicized to give a complicit nod to these actors in their illegal behavior. So the negative feedback loop isn’t there.
You mean like they did with the KKK and the Mafia? I’d like to know one good reason why antifa is less dangerous than either of the former. I don’t see that, I see just the opposite.
Except the tools they used, such as RICO, turned out to be more dangerous to civil liberties than nearly any act of the loathsome 20th century. What happens when the Dems are in power? Proud boys? Alt Riggt? Libertarian Party?
Except the tools they used, such as RICO, turned out to be more dangerous to civil liberties than nearly any act of the loathsome 20th century.
It’s always worth remembering that Al Capone was brought down by violations of tax law and not any “real” criminal laws, and that the original National Firearms Act of 1934 (another tax law!) was passed to go after the gangs.
This
The last thing we need now is to give the FBI/DOJ/DHS more intelligence power over Americans.
Instead, we should be prosecuting mayors for failure to protect the civil rights of their citizens by ignoring violent actors.
Assholes give Anarchy a bad name.

I know. Also, these people have no problem with violence. Yeah Yeah, i know they will argue that property is violence etc. But it is clear they don’t give a damn about hurting people.
“they will argue that property is violence”
I don’t even know what that means?
Neither do they, it is just some slogan someone in the herd started shouting.
“I think it has something to do with shooting paint balls at people on their porches.”
/cops
That cell phone looked like a gun!
You know, part of the problem here, is that when you only have a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
Property requires protection. Your holding of property excludes others from its use (if you so choose). If their “need” for it is greater than yours (in their estimation), but you don’t want to give it to them, then you’ll use violence to keep it. Hence, “property is violence”.
The problems, of course, with carrying this mentality through are manifest.
The first is that “need” is almost entirely subjective: yes, you will die from lack of water, food, etc. but so will the guy you’re stealing from, and how much and what kind of these things you or he needs at any given time is variable.
The second is that there is no neutral party to arbitrate these needs. Whereas a deed or history of possession can prove ownership to a judge who’s never met any of the claimants before, in a fight over desirable things that are owned by no one, the judge is going to want to take a share, and it will probably be a larger share than he gives to any of the claimants.
The third is that there is not a positive balance of output from the people willing to work for no personal compensation relative to the overall demand for goods. Put another way, practically nobody works for free nor is happy to see the fruit of their labor given to others, and so there will always be a deficit of desirable things rather than a surplus.
The fourth is that, whether or not “property is violence”, violence is most definitely violence. Without clear delineation of property, people will fight over scarce things. The strongest will win out and the weak will suffer at the hands of the strong and be dependent on their mercy.
The road from anti-proprietary anarchy to totalitarianism is a short and well trod one.
The United States of America will be designating ANTIFA as a Terrorist Organization.
Now start hunting them and the monsters who fund and organize them.
“Authority, overseeing, secret service, vigilance, spying, examination”
That’s not like the song at all!
On the vir-ots*:
KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov explained the 4-step process of subversion:
1. Demoralization – the first and longest step takes 15 to 20 years, which is the minimum time it takes to brainwash one generation.
2. Destabilization – this step takes a few years as the brainwashed young adults are unable to function in normal society and cause increasing levels of strife. They are now useful idiots.
3. Crisis – it only takes a few weeks or months to bring a nation to crisis through strikes, riots, and high unemployment.
4. Normalization – people clamor for an end to the chaos; the vanguard of the revolution and their enforcers emerge from the shadows dispose of the troublemakers. The useful idiots are no longer needed.
*pormanteau of virus and riots
1. already complete, we call it ‘public school’, and ‘higher learning’ learning for the 2nd round of brainwashing.
2. complete
3. complete
4. they forgot to get all of our guns first. Oops.
The 2nd amendment made all the others possible. In the first draft of the constitution, it was the 1st amendment.
It’s hard to oppress armed people. Is there a single case of a tyrant ruling over an armed citenzry?
Depends. There are more guns in private hands than there are private hands in the US and people sheepishly acquiesce to the tyrants dictates during the current panicdemic.

That’s a child!
That’s a Guatemalan American, you racist!
Plenty of short guys too, particularly in the armor branch. There’s not a lot of room in a tank.
“You must be this tall or less for this ride.”

OK, they’re othering short people. I thought that was verboten.
This Port Authority cop makes more than the president
Assuming the base pay is for 52 40-hour weeks, then she worked the equivalent of another 2080 hours at double time, which comes out to 11-hour days, every day of the year.
I better there’s other stuff in that pay too. Like weekend/holiday premiums, shift bonus, temporary upgrade pay, etc.
Every couple years there’s another scandal over faked overtime hours. And nothing else happens.
Does OT pay count toward pension calculations?
c’mon, you know the answer to that…
It depends entirely on the agency you work for.
For instance, in mine, no OT does not count for pension calculations (as is only proper.)

Filets for dinner.
Is that the weapon you made the kill with?
I haven’t hunted in decades.
I just ordered 3lbs of NYS from Wholefoods, looks really good. Gotta get the grill fired here soon…
We did strips for lunch. Delicious.
Hah! I just did my steak a la Sean prior to cutting off the filet for tonight’s dinner and freezing the now bone in NY strip.

That’s a nice steak and worthy of the enhanced protection.

(I think the butcher’s restaurant trade is still down. There was a bunch of them, and at a decent price.)
Excellent
Excellent.
Roasted Pork Butta la Sean yesterday
Love the Remington. That is the Remington, isn’t it? Pork Butt looks pretty good too.
I believe so. I always thought it was the 1858 Navy but might be the Army. I built it from a kit when I was 18 and who can remember details from when they were 18? I lost the cylinder over the years of moving but a replacement from the black powder section at Cabelas (Pietta?) seems to fit and almost locks with every draw back on the hammer. I need to have a gunsmith look at it before I shoot it again if I ever do. I have also read the brass frame revolvers tend to come apart so it might just live its life as decoration. I haven’t shot it in over 30 years. Fun to shoot though. Big boom and lots of smoke.
The pork butt is good. A few hours of smoke during a four hour cook after a night of a citrus marinade.
Got a very nice coulotte we’ll be roasting. Roasted brussel sprouts, tomato and mozzarella salad. Wine. Much vodka. https://twitter.com/egould310/status/1267160819067846656?s=21

All that antifa is doing here, is hiding behind racism to go about their destruction, unnoticed. They learned it from democrats.
This is going to be their high water mark as they’re going to be crushed in the near future because people actually are noticing. If the feds can do it to the klan and the biker gangs and the mafia they can do it to those chumps.
One hopes so, but I fear that TEAM BLUE is going to win the election and encourage more of this shit.
Yeah, if they win we really are in trouble but I don’t think this craziness helps them. I reckon we’ll see.
If they win the election, this will be every day. Brain Dead Biden has already made Gulag Barbie part of this shadow cabinet.
At least we’ll have The Green New Deal to look forward to.
Green New Deal, free college for dummies, nationalized healthcare, reparations for special groups. At that point, there would be no reason left to work, because 90% of your income in taxes won’t even cover half of that.
Except that the Feds are part of the leftist/deep state hook up. They might throw a few minnows in the bucket, but they aren’t going to put all of the big fish in. Any more than they’re going to arrest and prosecute the participants in the presidential coup attempt.
You can’t expect Barr to do anything good. He’s just another Bush era holdover. Trump is really really bad at hiring people, most of the time. I’d say the new press secretary is a lucky exception, she’s killing it.
AG has to be confirmed by Congress, press secretary doesn’t.
The “deep state” like to go home to their quiet neighborhoods and send their kids to fancy schools. Call either of those into question and all bets are off.
Lest it be unclear, I meant that the Antifa-gov’t employee unofficial cooperation lasts only as long as Antifa stays out of the burbs.
I don’t know if they’ll actually side with an organization made up of communists that want to kill them but I could be wrong.
Each side will see the other as useful idiots they can use to further their own goals.
Big difference: with the possible exception of the Klan early on, those organizations did not have significant support from personnel in the DoJ, judiciary and congress nor backing from billionaires and deep-pocketed supranational organizations. The vice chair of the DNC tweeted out his public support of Antifa for Christ’s sake.
“The vice chair of the DNC tweeted out his public support of Antifa for Christ’s sake.”
Looks like Gulag Barbie just voiced her support as well.

Yes.
It’s not a bad pils. Light and crisp.

This morning a birthday was left off — mine 🙂
We had a second night of protests and some violence last night in Des Moines (40 miles down the road from us); we were watching live coverage on TV. The first night had more vandalism, last night it was the police protecting first the state capitol and then the local police station.
Last night police in riot gear would form a line, then throw tear gas and advance, re-establish a new line, and repeat — it was actually handled pretty well, they eventually moved them more than half a mile and across the river. Some windows broken out but mostly just people protesting with a few throwing things at police. I saw one dude in a gas mask, might have been antifa, and a few others with the “A” in a circle symbol which I think is antifa/anarchist (?). Local leaders (black state rep, a black bishop) trying to get the people to cool it and go home. Iowa is like 3% black, but Des Moines much more so; still, a lot of the people protesting were white.
When the mob was moving into the night-life area of downtown, they got intermixed with people leaving bars (which have recently opened). A lot of traffic just trying to get through or out of the area. One bizarre scene was a young couple, obviously out on a date and just trying to get home, casually strolling around the end of a police line — the police just let them go by (probably going back to their car).
Happy birthday!!!
Happy Birthday! Fortunately, nothing in Ames over the weekend – not even an overturned garbage can in the Campustown area.
I was here in Ames during the VEISHA (for those not from the area, that’s a spring celebration put on by the students at Iowa State University) riots. In 1988, I remember hearing a crowd outside my apartment and found out later that they overturned a police car a couple of blocks away. Thanks to that and other shenanigans (and a death), we no longer have VEISHA.
Are you going to take a shot for each year?
Thanks all. No shots, just a free dessert at the local bar-B-Q place.
My elderly, gay, politically active, extremely Democratic landlord is ready to start shooting looters. So I’m guessing that popular support for all of this idiocy is probably lower than the blue checkmarks would like to pretend.
Bring enough gun and ammo, don’t get mobbed or you end up like this.
I was just about to link that as well.
That guy’s first problem: he had a sword instead of a rifle.
And by sword it probably was a sword-shaped piece of metal. A sword is actually sharp, as in shave hair off of your arm sharp. Chopping swords are less effective than stabbing swords.
Most of what I see that passes for swords are just swords in people’s imagination. It is more about how they look than how they function.
It was a gladius.
I went to find the video but the tech companies have taken most of them down because it ‘violates their terms of service.’

Well, he’s 88 and sold his handgun years ago, so it was rhetorical… But revealing nonetheless, from a guy who loathes Trump and watches MSNBC religiously.
The realization of the white LARPers crying “Oh shit” when they realize they’ve just been party to murder.
Of course it is. God knows I dislike most Democrat voters, but I’m not willing to believe that most of them approve of wanton thievery, destruction, and assault.
today’s language lesson
Al-Quds is the Arabic name for Jerusalem. The basic meaning of Quds is “holy” . The name was shortened from Beit al-Quds (the house of holiness) and comes from the Hebrew name for Jerusalem, Ir haqaddosh (city of holiness). Qadaas is the word Arab Christians use for a Catholic mass or a church service. The modern Hebrew word kaddish, the prayer for the dead, comes from the same root. The Aramaic word for holy is qaddish.
Jerusalem probably comes from the Canaanite phrase meaning “city of Shalim”. Shalim was the Canaanite god of dusk. Shalim sounds like the Hebrew word for peace (shalom), so the city’s name became City of Peace.
In Lebanon, there is a place called Qadisha Valley. Christians hid in the cliffs and caves during the Roman persecutions. Later, it became popular with monks and hermits seeking solitude. It’s a beautiful place:

Disgusting. Makes me so mad. I am so sick and tired of the media treating these people like they are children. Oh sure Sally is burning someone’s business down but really we have to understand where she is coming from she is a good girl with good intentions. Even Fox is doing this. These people don’t give a fuck about Floyd they are just animals.
He’d be within his rights to put bullets in all of them.
The Minneapolis DA would like a word…
Well then he can take a bullet too.
If you try to prosecute me for defending my wife and my property, I’m going to take it personally.
Hey RB! Haven’t seen you in a while. Glad to see that you’ve recovered from the pneumonia!
Thank you! I’ve been busy. Putting all my classes online was a lot of work. I hope my college renews my contract for the Fall semester still waiting.
How are you?
It’s a helluva thing to know that if you defend yourself, you’ll be the one charged and the poor, sad, little misguided souls that just want justice will be treated with kid gloves.
My lovely hometown. The mayor was talking tough but we’ll see.
Will this shit convince convince more people that we’re on our own and need to arm ourselves? Maybe for 2 minutes I’m guessing.
I happen to be reading a bit of self-indulgent nonsense (exquisitely written, though!) by a much-older-than-I woman that I am going to keep around to remind me not to get like that in my old age. She’s not an enemy, but reading it is along the lines of “keep your friends close and your enemies closer.” Or, “What not to do.”
LIke when I’m in a bar and see an old drunk guy screaming at the clouds, and I think will that be me in 20 years?
Shout out to the Philly rioters: They were smart enough to loot the nice neighborhood I live in rather than theirs.
After the main drags got looted, they went up and down the side streets carrying bags and filling them up.
The Asian owned deli downstairs didn’t bat an eye – they put up some wood to replace the broken windows and opened right up thismmorning. Most everything else around here is shut down.
Tons of volunteers out cleaning up. Businesses putting in new windows already this afternoon.
There’s supposed to be another spontaneous protest today. Let’s see what happens tonight..
I saw the Inquirer pictures. What a fucking disaster. People were wearing backpacks to put their loot in.
Any damage to or theft of your property?
I’m in an apartment building with security so I am fine. They seem to have locked down this part of town. No street traffic and 6PM curfew, tons of cops. So I guess from what I see on TV all of the cops are in the nice area by me and everyone else is on their own.
Oops that was only yesterday I guess. Today they’re in the hood. I don’t know this area that great yet but looks like West philly on Fox News
