This week’s sedrah is entitled “Naso” which coincidentally for those of us living out 2020 is the “take” part of “take a census.” It is the longest of all the sedrahs, and as expected from that, it meanders a bit. And as in so many parts of the book of Bamidbar (“Numbers” to you goyim), there’s a recitation of some census results. Yawwwwn. Let’s get to the fun stuff.
Amidst the begats and recitations of tribal stats, there is a very interesting section- how to tell if your wife is fucking around. And it’s foolproof! Who says religion isn’t useful?
Now bear with me as we go through the procedure, and please be assured that I am making nothing up here. It’s this weird.
OK, you suspect that slut (sotah) of sleeping around. But there’s no witnesses, and being as this is in the days before PornHub and iPhones, there’s no videos. What you do, Shmuley, is haul that sotah in front of a Kohen (priest). Being as it’s (((us))), you know there’s payment coming, and it begins with you handing over a tenth of an ephah (which works out to about a gallon, using Went To The Moon units of measure) of barley flour for the Kohen’s time. Now, because we’re fellow Yids, the Kohen won’t get extra oil or frankincense, just the barley. “For it is a meal offering of jealousies, a meal offering of remembrance, recalling iniquity,” which reminds me much of my last marriage. Still, you have it easy compared to your sotah.
The Kohen and his assistant Kohens first march that sotah bitch around for a while until she gets tired, then the real fun begins as she is dragged in front of the Sanhedrin. There, she is, ummm, persuaded to confess. The various Sanhedrinites play good cop/bad cop, telling her that if she confesses, it’ll be cool, they’ll give her a divorce and let her go. Then telling her that if she continues lying, bad shit’s going to happen. Really, really bad shit. If this doesn’t work, then the next step in the ritual begins, the Ordeal of the Bitter Water.
And this is my favorite part. The exhausted and brow-beaten sotah has her head uncovered and her hair exposed and let down (if it’s tied up). Then her blouse or tunic is torn open to free her titties. It’s not really necessary for the ritual to work, but it’s well known that old Jewish men like to look at titties, and coincidentally, the Sanhedrin was composed mostly of old Jewish men.
The sotah is then handed the gallon of barley flour to hold, then the Magic Potion is prepared. A clay pot is filled with Holy Water, then some dirt from the Temple floor is mixed in. The kohen takes the section of Torah with the description of the Ordeal (or scribes a new one on parchment), then drops it into the water/dirt mixture until the ink dissolves off. Mumbo jumbo, mumbo jumbo, then the sotah (sorry, alleged sotah) drinks it, while everyone stands back.
Why do we stand back? Because if she’s the cheating slut we think she is, magic is going to happen. Her belly swells up, her uterus explodes and falls out, and… well, it’s a gynecological version of the Mr. Creosote scene in The Meaning Of Life.
I’m unable to find records of a positive result here, so presumably, the Jew ladies of the time were a pretty faithful lot. But let’s not give up the opportunity to look at titties.
Once the Temple was gone, so was this delightful ceremony. And Jew ladies started to fuck around without fear of uterine explosions.
Now, there is a related Ordeal that exists in current times. If SP thinks I’m cheating, she has the Ordeal of the Rusty Tin Can Lids. But that’s a story for a different sedrah.
How well you know me.
Hmm. You’re First. Hmmm. I wonder why. Hmmm.
SP is really Fist of Etiquette?
Never mind. I withdrawal that.
No, that’s Brottchetta,

Pussy.
I had a guy come and replace the start-run capacitor on Jugsy’s a/c. It took him 10 minutes and he charged $125 for a part that was $28 at Grainger. Add his labor it was $250.
It wasnt an appointment- it wasn’t a service call cause he was a cousin of some maintenance guy she had at her property.
Have you checked the thermostat?
Iniquities? The grifter cheated too?
If you’ve never seen ‘The Grifters’ with John Cusak and Anjelica Huston, I recommend it.
Iniquities and (((Tiddies)))
Reminds me of this.
The den of iniquities arises from the din of inequities.
Mr. Creosote- “find me a bucket for me ‘fro-up’
+1 “wafer thin mint”
+1 “I’ll have the lot”.
Sounds legit to me.
Now where is my sotah of a wife?
Showing her titties down at the Temple, obviously.
Again?
Dammit…
Lucky girls get a prophet for a lawyer.
“A fair Hebrew wife named Susanna was falsely accused by lecherous voyeurs. As she bathes in her garden, having sent her attendants away, two lustful elders secretly observe the lovely Susanna. When she makes her way back to her house, they accost her, threatening to claim that she was meeting a young man in the garden unless she agrees to have sex with them.
She refuses to be blackmailed and is arrested and about to be put to death for promiscuity when the young Daniel interrupts the proceedings, shouting that the elders should be questioned to prevent the death of an innocent. After being separated, the two men are cross-examined about details of what they saw but disagree about the tree under which Susanna supposedly met her lover. In the Greek text, the names of the trees cited by the elders form puns with the sentence given by Daniel. The first says they were under a mastic tree (ὑπο σχίνον, hypo schinon), and Daniel says that an angel stands ready to cut (σχίσει, schisei) him in two. The second says they were under an evergreen oak tree (ὑπο πρίνον, hypo prinon), and Daniel says that an angel stands ready to saw (πρίσαι, prisai) him in two. The great difference in size between a mastic and an oak makes the elders’ lie plain to all the observers. The false accusers are put to death, and virtue triumphs.”
A lawyer who can face down a den of lions no less.
I had no idea Ozy was that old.
I look good for a guy with a couple of millenia on the tires.
I like the story of Daniel wanting to hook up with his buddy Uriah’s wife, Bathsheba. Being the king, he asks, she puts out. He has sent Uriah off to war, so when she gets knocked up he’s all worried that Uriah’s gonna find out. So he sends him orders to rush home. But Uriah is loyal to his troops and stays to fight on with them. So Daniel, being the good king that he is, Daniel sends word for the troops to abandon Uriah in battle, leaving him to be slaughtered. They do so… and Daniel is spared the embarrassment of having his buddy come home to discover that he knocked up his wife.
But Danny is a good guy…. he takes her on as his 8th wife… so it’s all good.
At least that’s what I remember. It’s been a while since I read that story.
It was David not Daniel.
/For a few years in my late teens I didn’t consider myself an atheist and read the Bible.
Yeah… david.
Never post about religion from the pot.
That’s King David.
Daniel’s the one who got tossed into the lion’s den and didn’t get eaten.
Uriah does come back from the battle, gives David the AAR, but doesnt have the common courtesy to go home and sleep with his wife while on leave – because his fellow troops are still in the trenches. – that’s why david has to go and off him…..
Also, Uriah was one of his SOF equivalents- in 2 Samuel 23 etc – he’s one of the 30 Mighty Men.
“Why do we stand back? Because if she’s the cheating slut we think she is, magic is going to happen. Her belly swells up, her uterus explodes and falls out, and… well, it’s a gynecological version of the Mr. Creosote scene in The Meaning Of Life.”
“Just one more thin dick.”
Waffer thin.
This reminds me of an excellent article in one of my last toilet versions of Reason about medieval punishments mostly being for show. Of course her hoo-hah isn’t going to fall out, but at least they went through the motions.
Id watch that for a dollar !
I miss this series. I wish you weren’t so stingy with them…
I see what you did there…
This week’s sedrah is entitled “Naso” which coincidentally for those of us living out 2020 is the “take” part of “take a census.”

Here you go. Thats a ballsy motherfucker
I’m reading about the human genome and how mankind migrated around the world, the researchers were able to determine that Jewish wives were the most faithful mates, at least when procreation is involved.
And Jewish husbands were the most faithful because they knew their wives would guilt them to death.
Well, now we know why! There are only so many shepherd boys hot enough to risk having to show your tits to old lechers, drinking gross water, and maybe your insides exploding.
I should convert. Any ritual with free titties is my kind of thing.
The initiation is a bit much for this gentle.
That cuts.
You’re not gentle at all!
I was born into a whacky fundamentalist family. The maiming has already occurred.
I was born when it was SOP in American hospitals.
Same. My son was mutilated as well.
My step-mother is Jewish. I often say that I made the cut but didn’t join the team.
Oh, I forgot to bitch about this…
Today was PA’s primary voting today. GF and I lined up just shy of 7 am. This was to be the new paper ballot system voting here. About a 20 minute wait to find out the new system was broken. The scanners for the paper ballots kept rejecting them. Yay. Y’all fuckers broke voting. Congrats.
We left, with the judge of elections assuring us they’d be counted. Uh huh.
If voting made any difference, they would never let us do it.
Jus sayin.
SCIENCE!! Seems about as legit as the lie detector or the “if she weighs as much as a duck” scene in the other Python movie.
Nice article, OM! These are great at educating us goyim on how stuff really works. When (((they))) take control of everything, this kind of knowledge might just save me.
You’ll only be saved if you get the end of your dick cut off. Not sure if it’s worth it.

…but it’s well known that old Jewish men like to look at titties…
Um, pretty much all old men. Sounds like some cultural appropriation is in order!
Thanks, Old Man! This was a fun one.
It’s well known that

No joke. 95% of what I know about Judaism comes from a self avowed pedo. 🙂
That’s alarming.
It’s meshuggah, is what it is.
No one had to force this sotah to kneel.

Huh.
First I’ve heard that mentioned. I only knew about the asian cop. Hadn’t heard about the other two.
My sister-in-law is convinced the US is super racist, she sent me a video of that black cop beating on Floyd in the police car… it ain’t racism lady.
In my experience, and what I was referring to in the last post, it’s about perceived socio-economic status of the non-cop in the equation. Malia Obama is not going to have a problem with police harassment or authority in general the way that Brett Barrett of Dogholla Crick, MS is. Race is incidental; it’s more about power as manifested in social class.
I think that is a factor for sure. I don’t doubt that racism can be a factor as well, it probably just isn’t as common a one as people make it out to be.
The bigger deal is that they thought they could get away with it- you don’t murder someone in cold blood in broad daylight, on video, (in front of several cops) without some expectation of being insulated from the repercussions. But that discussion is not going to happen anytime soon because we’d rather make this about race, which will probably get things going approximately no where. But maybe I’m wrong.
Yeah, I doubt he rolled up and thought “thank god he’s black, now I can kill him!” He wanted to be the badass there. When the crowd started telling him what to do, he thought “whateva! I do what I want” Now, a guy’s dead and he, thankfully, is going to prison. He did not expect all that. He thought he was going to get high fives back at the station for beating down that punk. Unless he knew who it was and had problems with him in the past, which is possible. I don’t doubt that some of the random killings during the riots are going to be personal revenge stories.
Here’s the best “cop’s take” on this that I can give, based on what little I see and know of thes particular cops–
That, alone, will give you insight to how a 8/9-minute neck press during an arrest happens. And, no–this isn’t my own sentiment, nor am I trying to defend it; just give an idea of how it happens prior to any “KKKops” aspect possibly being in play.

OFFS!
“Fuck off and get back to work.”
Oh why are you worried. It’s not like the Supreme Court has said your Basic Civil Rights could be abrogated and abridged at the advice of these people.
Lessee, CV19 AND flu AND pnuemonia combined killed about 105,000. White supremacy killed at least ???? many people. Serious stuff, but wait:
Yeah, STFU!
Jesus. I can’t wait for my upcoming surgery now.
Don’t worry, you’ll be fine. What is the surgery for?
Colon… “resection” (?). No date yet.
Party in my colon Thursday.
Sounds like fun. 😕
FWIW I just got some testing done myself that wasn’t wholly positive- still need to see what the doc says about it though.
Yeah it’s been… the worst month of my life, I think. Three days in the hospital about a month ago, including 12 hours in ER.
My roommate was a guy who had just recovered from the ‘vid after 42 days in ICU. Some tales there. It’s been long enough now that I’m fairly sure I didn’t catch it myself.
Very sorry to hear this Rhywun – I hope your surgery goes well and best wishes for a speedy recovery.
Thanks!
Good luck, Lack.
Party in my colon Thursday.-
HAWT!
On a serious note, you’ll be fine, just be an advocate for yourself. Don’t be afraid to ask questions and ask for explanations.
Will do. My doc/surgeon seems pretty cool, at least.
That doesn’t sound pleasant. Was it delayed in any way as an elective procedure?
Well… in retrospect, I should have sought help earlier. Not sure if the end result would have been any different. Also not sure if the ‘vid scared me off or just my general dislike of doctors/hospitals/etc.
Wait, what?!
Good luck!
Thx!
You’ll be fine. I know a couple of people who’ve had their guts rearranged and they’re all fine. Good luck, though.
Good to hear. Thanks!
Sorry. I hope it all goes well.
Tks.
Sorry Rhywun. I hope your surgery goes well.
Thanks!
Rhywun,
I had about 12 inches of bowel removed several years ago.
On the downside I had complications which required a second surgery and a total of about a month in the hospital.
On the upside it seems to have cured my IBS.
I’m chalking it up as a win.
Good luck.
Good luck Rhywun! At least your liver is ok. That’s the important one these days.
Don’t worry, it’s only twice as common as CV/flu/Pnuemonia, so it’s crazy rare.
Don’t worry, they’ll record your death as The Wuhan
Died in NY?
Corona what dun it.
That number of “deaths due to medical mistakes
” comes from an extrapolation that makes the global warming models seem incredibly precise.
Can I even make a joke ?
/I need a ruling
In all seriousness, I hope it works out. Wicked StepMother is (finally) getting the hip-replacement she’s been waiting months on, in pain tomorrow morning.
So good luck- we’re all counting on you.
Thanks. I guess I’m glad this shit went down now instead of a couple months earlier.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
How many of this year’s suicides/overdoses/etc can we attribute to medical mistakes?
ITS ALL COVID!
It’s amazing how I, who went to a religious elementary school through sixth grade, Sunday Hebrew School from 7th-8th grade and “Hebrew High School” Monday nights from 9th-12th grades and I still learn new shit from OMWC’s columns.

As someone that just had another 5K plumbing repair, I heartily support this opinion.
I feel you. Ours drove us to … well. You know.
5k…..
Pbbbt. Piker
I just got the first estimate on my new sliding glass doors. The cheap guy who will do it off-permit is gonna be 8 grand. And I wait 8 weeks for the doors. The broken set is a 2 panel door that is 144 inches wide – doors slide in both directions. Apparently that doesn’t exist any more.
As Mojeaux would say, XY threw a temper tantrum and busted the door. Middle schoolers are hard to take.
Now I have a huge air leak. When it was 90+ and sunny the AC couldn’t keep it below 80 in the house.
But that’s not the expensive one. The house is settling and the back patio has some major cracks that formed after the last set of big storms. And the roof started leaking back there. It has an “I can’t afford that” feel to it.
Oh dude. Strap in for the ride. I will pray for you and there is zero snark/sarc in that.
Can you sell the child to cover the repair bill?
Well, he is a good looking kid…. I could probably get more renting him out by the hour.
Oof…. don’t tell my wife I made that joke.
Your secrets are safe with me…for a price.
I read this to my husband.
“You hang out with some sick fucks, honey.”
High five!
Well….YEAH!
I have a sweet deal, my LL is totally with me, I will own a home, 56, first time
At some point you kinda have to buy. We all eventually get to the point, if we live long enough, that we need to slow down on the daily grind if not retire completely. It makes it much more difficult to do if you are still renting.
Buying a place with which the main problem is one which you are eminently and professionally capable of dealing with is a pretty good strategy.
But it’s a dry heat.
I’ve lived in Arizona and I’ve lived in Florida. I’d take Arizona’s climate every day and twice on Sunday.
You merely adopted the humidity. I was born in it. Molded by it!
Yeah… the humidity here is a bizarre thing. The weirdest part to get used to is that 68 degrees is pretty damned chilly when it is 100% humidity. When I lived in Michigan, 42 degrees wasn’t all that cold. I’d say the humidity reduces the comfort range by a good 10 to 15 degrees.
Sorry about the AC. The AC unit I had installed last year failed. A bad sensor if I remember correctly. The folks that installed it fixed it under warranty.
I’m getting a new roof later this week.
Congratulations on buying a house. Best wishes.
Mild spring in BHC? After the earthquake everyone’s predicting as the 3rd of the “comes in threes,” you’ll be beachfront, right?
Arizona Bay…
On the house front… I’m sure someone told you this… but it is true.. You need to set aside 5% of the value of the house every year for repairs. The problem is… it goes nothing, nothing, nothing, $4k, nothing, nothing, nothing, $16k, nothing, $2k…..
Ours didn’t do that. It was constant.
It broke us.
At this point, once the kids are out of the house, I’m going to insist on an apartment, That is how gunshy and bitter I am.
While on the topic, what’s a reasonable price range for a new roof on a house with 1100 sq ft of moderate pitch roof?
*please note it’s not to the point where it has to be done, I’m just trying to make sure I’m ahead of any trouble.
What I learned is that this is one area where prices are very local.
We put a standing seam metal roof on a buddy’s ranch house – because it was cheap. The shingle roof was going to be 3 grand. We put it on in a day. Easy-peasy.
So I get to florida. I have a smaller house. It has a tile roof. I ask about the Key West style standing seam roofs. Way, way more expensive. like 40 grand.
I ended up putting on a barrel tile roof – as is the style here. $16k – by far the cheapest estimate. Another 7K for the two flat roof areas. That’s on less than 1,500 square feet.
Sure, it is more than 20 years later.. .but there isn’t that much inflation in the world.
A friend has a big house with a huge gabled roof. The tile roof on that sucker ran over $60k. For a roof. That’s an entire house where I come from.
What I learned is that this is one area where prices are very local.
And also what needs to be done.
I’ve got some problems that need correcting as part of my roof job, so mine is going to be a bit more expensive.
The only other thing that needs to be done is trimming back the tree that’s causing me my trouble.
If you’re talking paying roofers, I got no idea. We bought supplies and my brothers and my brother-in-law came over and we re-did 1/4 of my roof down to the rafters for some where around $1k.
Oh did I say my house needs a new roof and a new furnace?
Thank heavens we are getting out of here.

That’s L.A. cops. If there wasn’t a riot about cops killing people literally happening before their eyes, they’d have shot them all dead. It’s only because they got a talking to this morning and were told to please not kill anybody, that they didn’t.
That’s insane. The Keystone Kops could have done better. The store owners would have been better off shooting the looters.

Behold, Marxist logic!
Yes.
Reading down through that……..can we just break up already? Half the country hates the other and wants to see them humiliated, tortured and liquidated. I have no idea how this would flesh out geographically but this country is like a marriage that was over YEARS ago.
Problem is, how do you do it? There aren’t neat geographic divides.
exactly…..there seems to be no clear exit strategy. I fear this will not end well.
Federalism and localism is still the answer, but you have to persuade people that those are worthy goals, and we’re in the second century of indoctrination into the cult of centralization and regularity.
Americans always disagreed about any number of things, but before that FDR-LBJ period the idea that the national government should have ONE BIG LAW for anything was simply not accepted fact. Take abortion. Abortion was regulated differently in every state. It’s not like they invented abortion in 1970 and the SCOTUS ruled on it three years later.
The pre-Progressive era Constitution and body of case law would be a very good starting point for restoring a liberal republic. Shame we can’t do that.
It’s been well documented that anyone who breaths the words federalism is a racist, you fascist racist.
Did we sign a pre-nup?
It pains me to realize that is not really hyperbole…
That led me to this one
Apparently some black lives matter more than others. Those killed by the black perps must not have mattered as much since the news is a little lackadaisical about reporting those.
Just to be clear, I have no connection to any news agency.
Rubin Report interviewed Brandon Tatum, one of the founders of Blexit and a former cop. It’s a good interview, and at one point he goes off with genuine emotion about how all this fake outrage only happens when the media and the left thinks they can pull a race angle, but they don’t make a peep over black children dying in inner cities as a result of gang violence. Black lives matter but not if they’re at risk from other black lives, I guess.
it’s well known that old Jewish men like to look at titties

I don’t apologize for things I haven’t done and I sure as shit don’t kneel to anyone. You want to have a discussion with me, glad to do it, but this bizarre self-flagellation performance art can fuck off.
My mom’s half of the family is an Irish-American grandfather who came to PA in the 1700s and a Scottish grandmother who came over as a kid from Kilmarnock in 1914. Can I get a discount on those reparations? My dad’s side of the family are descended from slave-owning Southerners from the heart of the Confederacy, and I believe you’ll find that according to international law reparations can only be due from a state, not private citizenry, must be for illegal acts (slavery was legal in the USA and CSA for most of its history), and is not applicable in a situation where the winner of the war was the aggressor. Of course, if you believe the CSA was not a legitimate nation, then you must also logically conclude that the USA cannot pay reparations to itself.
*whose family came
My grandfather wasn’t *that* old.
I can verify with as much certainty as one can have with the spotty historical record of the common folk, that not a one of my ancestors owned a slave from the time they arrived in the new world onward. Putting aside the barbaric blood guilt fallacy for a moment, do I get excused from the reparations?
Yeah, AFAIK my ancestors all arrived in the 1880s or so.
Sorry, I’m not playing.
My grand-parent’s grand-parents were all born in the old country. Most got here near the turn of the century.
I can verify that my ancestors did own a slave — we have a copy of the document freeing him.
3/4 of my grandparents came from families that arrived post-Civil War, and in NYC, not the south. The fourth grandparent’s lineage traces back practically to the founding of Jamestown in one branch. As they all lived in the south, yes, I’ve found one or two that owned a slave, and a bunch fought for the Confederacy (reluctantly, after being conscripted, but that’s a different story).
And none of that matters one fucking bit because there’s no such thing as blood guilt. I do not bear the blame for things done by ancestors who died almost a century before I was born. There’s no family fortune built on slave labor – my people were, mostly, dirt poor farmers, which is why I only found one or two who were slave owners. Hell, my great-grandfather was a sharecropper.
I can verify that my ancestors raided Harpers Ferry with John Brown.
Actually acted to help free slaves?
*Checks notes*
Yeah, not enough. Will you be paying in cash or check?

I had a 4X great grand dad that was horribly disfigured at Reams Station, fighting for the Union. I’m sure somehow that justifies why I need to pay reparations.
My ancestors killed the natives, enslaved the blacks and helped assassinate Lincoln. That has jack shit to do with me.
What is up you and “Floridaman”? Is he Unreconstructed?

You didn’t do shit for eight years, asshole.
METSMAN1786 actually has a respectful, useful reply. Basically, instead of Tweeting, maybe Barry should talk to the governors and mayors of the states and cities where these things are happening. Since they’re all Democrats, he’ll probably have some pull. He doesn’t have to wait for Trump or Congress if he actually is interested in being helpful.
Which, of course, he’s not.
Minneapolis has ranked preference voting. Of the 100,000 votes cast in 2017, for the 4 year term, 84,000 of them went to the DFL. Another 8,000 went to the Green Party. So that guy is the Minority Leader of himself. The other 12 seats are DFL. The mayor was elected in 2017, before that he was on the City Council. There were more votes for the Socialist Alternative candidates then for the Republican and Libertarian candidates COMBINED.
But those white Trump voters in the suburbs are just sending their poisonous racism energy to a city which last elected a Republican mayor in 1957.

“an unarmed person with a knife”
“Just shoot the knife outta the guy’s hand! Worked all the time for Chuck Connors and James Arness!”
Actually he meant a person with no arms, wielding a knife or other weaponry, coming at you. You can’t shoot the knife from his hand since he is un-armed so the alternative is to go for the leg.
That’s gold.
That’s Shotgun Joe.

Why do the lawyers in TV shows never make motions for mistrials when the other side performs evidentiary shenanigans and didn’t enter their surprise evidence at discovery?
Because if they did it the real way, the audience would throw rotten fruit at the tv
I know court procedure is boring, even though I was only a Criminal Justice Minor and not a Lawyer.

This is why they never made a TV drama about the accounting department.
“There is a discrepency in these reports! We must find the source before the IRS does!”
In the double-entry accounting system, the transactions are represented by two separate yet equally important entries: The debits, who record expenses, and the credits, who document revenue. These are their stories.

Sorry, I missed the “tv” part.
All the channels owned by Discovery blacked out for 10 mins this evening, showing a message how they are totes on #TheRightSideOfHistory with what’s going on with the protests. My 80 year old aunt called me because she was confused why her HGTV wasn’t on, ‘Do you think they were hacked?’. I’m almost ready to just go Galt, but I don’t have a hologram dome to put over my house.

How much is this going to cost us? Trump should tell those liberal mayors who encouraged the looting rioting to pound sand when they come begging.
Everything?
Blood guilt and virtue signalling is making a comeback. Isn’t that rather collectivist? Taking the knee and apologizing for you skin color. Oh and you better accept reparations and losing your job.
BLM and Anifa aren’t going to have to pretend their are violent racists around every bush anymore if they keep pushing this shit.
Reparations is a sure-fire way to engender massive social conflict. Hence, its appeal to the wokerati.
It’s also a non-starter. Will never happen. At least not if there is any semblance of the American legal and justice systems left.
Seems that is the goal of all these protests and riots. Not a good idea to be complacent.
Well that is optimistic
True. It’s probably naive at this point to not think it will be on the agenda in a major way if the Progs can seize power.
Scott Horton keeps talking like the real thing to fear is the reactionary right-wing movement that might rise up in the wake of the kulturekampf….it didn’t resonate with me much until now. After this week it seems like more of a possibility.
It depends on how strong “the reactionary right-wing” is compared to the progs and if they have someone leading them willing to take over and get their hands dirty. I don’t think Trump isn’t that person but who comes next might be…
*I don’t think Trump is that person *
He is probably not wrong.
Nothing gets a hard right winger more riled up than co firmation that he is right.

If we bail out the Prog Dem strongholds with federal tax dollars I may pick up a torch and pitchfork myself.
That may be the tipping point for me as well. If Trump and the republican senate bail out the bankrupt blue states on my dime, then i may arm up and go marching.
The coward ass R’s have already spent the economy into a hole there is no recovering from. Furthering the damage by bailing out the blue state’s government worker pensions will put me in the ” we live in a one party state” camp that is ready for a revolution.
Private criminals looters and state sanctioned murders are both bad.

Philly’s d.a. just about came out and said that a mixed race crowd protecting their property in Fishtown are vigilante criminals and won’t be tolerated.Some had bats and yelled nasty words at the “peaceful protestors.” Philly D.A. is a far left type and a member of the same political party that hasn’t done squat about police brutality in Philly for the sixty years they’ve been in charge.
Philly’s DA is one of the ones whose campaign was bankrolled by George Soros. When is that malignant sonofabitch finally going to die?
Ugh…I was in the comments of just one article over at the old site, and Cokey the Cock-knocker, is still doing his tired leftist shtick, saying that no one has any sort of proof that Soros is backing the baddies.
Blood Boils. Lets follow the logic here:
1. Cops kill people and DAs ( i know not this DA, but she’s part of the system) refuse to prosecute
2. People protest and that is turned into a Riot.
3. Cops refuse to protect property in the path of rioters
4. People try to take matters into their own hands, having been abandoned by the state.
5. DA decide they will prosecute those people.
Like i said, what these politicians are doing is teaching people that obeying laws, and being good community members is for chumps.

I was surprised, had to replace the window in my bedroom with one too small to fit my AC for reasons. The only window where it will fit now is on the opposite kitty corner of the house. Got up past 90 today with high humidity and while not as cool as I’d like, my rooms temp has been under 70 with low humidity all day.
I’ve had an article brewing for a while about The Thousand and One Nights. One thing that struck me was the status of women in the time period. True, they were always considered subservient to their men but there was a fair amount of power in their case.
Marriage was a contract (as it should be). Divorce was as easy as saying, “I divorce you” three times in front of witnesses.
One thing that caught my attention was that their version of a dowry strongly differs with the commonly accepted version. In the western world the dowry is roughly the ransom paid to take this daughter off your hands. In the ancient Muslim version the dowry belonged to the woman. it was her insurance if the marriage were to be dissolved, she would still have an income.
I have no idea how close to reality this is but it struck me as a reasonable version for modern (stateless) marriage
Shaharazad (spelling?) tricking the sultan into not murdering her is a fun frame-story, as I recall.
Need to read that book all the way through.
I’m interested and look forward to reading.
The book or the alleged article?
I read the book (Burton’s translation) on my palm pilot and later on an e-reader on my phone. This last time (and, after three reads, this is the last time) took me three years to get through the ten volumes, not counting the four volumes of footnotes (which I never finished.)
In order to do an article justice I would have to dive back into the books to gather quotes and the like and I guess I’m not quite ready to do that.
“True, they were always considered subservient to their men but there was a fair amount of power in their case.”
For the wives of powerful men, yes, absolutely. The wives of kings, lords, wealthy merchants, etc in the pre modern era always wielded subtle but real power.
Premodern gender relations is very feudal. Women are passed from the control of their benevolent and capable fathers to the control of their benevolent and capable husbands. It’s a wonderful system, provided both fathers and husbands are both benevolent and capable. Both men and women’s roles are framed in the sense not of rights, but of obligations and duties.
Communism also works great when you have a revolutionary vanguard completely dedicated to the best interests of the proletariat, and a proletariat equal to struggle and labor mightily for the Revolution.
This is all taken in the context of my interpretation. My impression was that even the wives of merchants and laborers had a certain amount of freedom.
Again, this is taken from a version that is designed to make the ancient Muslim world attractive.
Yeah I mean, I have no doubt the vast majority of women would be absolutely ecstatic to be passed from the authority of one wise, kind, capable, sheltering provider to a second who embodied all those traits, and who would dedicate the rest of his days to providing her with a wonderful home, and would never mistreat her or leave her for another woman, who would make the right decisions for their household and send their daughters to wonderful husbands to continue the cycle.
But that’s just a fantastic myth. It’s like the feudal myth of wise and pious clergy, bluff and diligent peasants, and brave and just lords all coming together to form a righteous Christendom. Social and political systems need to be based not on having people be good, but by incentivizing flawed people to do good things.
This is why devout Hindu women wear so much bling.
Dennis tuttle
Duncan lemp
Cody franklin
Justine damond
/other shit not to be muttered in polite company.
Justine is the only name I’ve heard of.
I’ve seen all the names, but we read so many of these stories that piss us off that the jackwagons out burning shit never give a damn about that it becomes hard to recall all the specifics.
Dennis Tuttle was the guy murdered by Houston police in a no-knock drug raid last year. Was supposed to be some kind of heroin dealer but just was a disabled veteran with a little bit of weed.
Duncan Lemp was murdered in a no-knock gun raid in Maryland a couple of months ago.
Duncan Lemp was a FAR RIGHT 3 PERCENTER EXTREMIST akshually so he deserved to be shot to death in his sleep.
Next to his pregnant girlfriend, no less.
For every black police murder victim, there is a white victim whose story is no.less appalling, but their stories don’t benefit the Democrats’ electoral chances so they get ignored as much as possible. Or hey, remember the Thai baby who was horribly burned when a flash grenade was tossed into his crib in a raid? He survived, but how the hell was THAT not a bigger story??
Yes, race undoubtedly plays a role in a lot of these, but the ultimate problem is that there are a lot of vicious animals wearing badges who are rarely held to account.
Statistically, there’s two. That doesn’t include the race unknown and hispanics. If we absolutely stopped all police killings of blacks ( about 225 a year) we’d be left with about 800 a year of others. That’s the thinking that makes me a racist. ( of course, some percentage of these are justifiable, but it’s a percentage and a small one)
Rhy – read about your issues above, I hope it all goes well. I might have similar problems in the future, but more than that – gotta have someone laugh at me and Raven Nation for following sucky AFL teams.
Anybody shocked (I’m not) about how little we are hearing right now about the Black Death: Part Deaux that necessitated shutting down our entire economy for months?
It’s almost like it never happened now that there is a bigger cudgel for the Left to batter us into submission with.
I think my biggest challenge to understanding your thinking is that from my perspective, you’re talking about your dreams of a world that I don’t think will ever come to be, and I’m trying to deal with the real one we’re in

It just seems like being able to take that position is white privilege. Like because you don’t have to worry about race. And I think that’s the very reason we must.
No shit actual snippet of conversation from this past weekend.
‘It’s bad when cops kill anyone without due process.’
‘Dude, I didn’t know you were a white supremacist!?’
Three times this week, I’ve been called a racist specifically for caring about ALL the victims of police abuse. Twice, with the privilege bullshit. I want to just tell them my life story, but I know it won’t sink in no matter what. It has to be constantly harped on for twenty years by every left wing outlet and hinted at on the nightly news. I get this mostly from spoiled little rich girls. Fucking crazy.
“I get this mostly from spoiled little rich girls.”
If there is one class of people whom are utter astounding in both their moral certainty and staggering lack of self-awareness; it’s rich, white liberal women.
Sipping their vanilla soy frappuccinos
Why are you talking with said spoiled rich girls?
I mean, I can think of some reasons.
They may not be Lach’s reasons…
I had the same type of conversations once;
“Libertarianism makes sense for you because you are a white male. Of course YOU could survive in a free world.”
I’ve been ruminating on the leftist mindset a lot this week. I think we struggle with it so much because we, being autistic libertarians, try to understand it from the perspective of reason and logic. Progressivism has nothing to do with reason and logic. It is felt. I comes from a deep and mostly unconscious impulse that they are inferior.
This woman i argued with for way too long, tilold me that i was distracting from her point of my privilege by pointing out that war is worse than racism. I dont know how to talk to someone who can think that way.
Racism is the cardinal sin to these people, they cannot conceptualize that there might be anything worse because the are insanely sheltered. George Floyd being killed, while indefensible and horrific, is nothing compared to an entire bus load of innocent civilians being murder-droned. But that is just an abstraction to these people. It is a byproduct of affluence, ease and decadence. Yet we are the un-empathetic ones.
you can’t possibly hold multiple, overlapping opinions about things.
“is nothing compared to an entire bus load of innocent civilians being murder-droned”
Well its very important which flavor of lizard ordered the drone strike.
If it was Obama, it was a righteous, temperate, thoughtful, charismatic, humane, and peaceful drone strike. See, he probably really agonized over it. He probably did the thing where he leaned back in his chair, steepled his fingers, and really considered the decision carefully. But then he, in his wisdom and character, made the tough call. For all of us.
Yeah, I loved how nearly the ENTIRE left (certainly the entire establishment and most of the far-left) completely quit giving a shit about being anti-war the second BHO was elected. Turns out they didn’t give a shit about soldiers or Iraqis. The black community should take notice of that.
You mean how like BHO was supposed to usher in a new age of inter-racial prosperity, but instead set race relations back 40 years?
Im thinking its more analogous to the catholic idea of original sin than a cardinal sin.
Cardinal sins are forgivable with confession and pentance.
Original sin is a stain that only the blood of a messiah and belief in that sacrifice can forgive, and can only be forgiven in death.
Thanks for that.
/Not catholic, learned something tonight
On that note, what really pisses me off, (and I say this not to pat my own back but becauseI know it to be true) a year from now I’ll still remember George Floyd’s name. I’ll still be acutely aware that the mailed fist of the state can kill you at will, for whatever reason, and there will be no justice. And there will be dozens of new George Floyd’s by then.
Meanwhile these asshats signaling their virtue on FB and Instagram will have moved on to tranny bathrooms or whatever the nonsense social issue of the day is with nary a thought given to the violence of the state or the issue they were passionate about for 5 seconds back in the spring of 2020.
Fuck it, I’m getting a whisky.
No kidding.

I do, but im the racist one.
The biggest issue at Facebook right now is their employees are furious Zuckerberg won’t censor the President of the United States’ posts. For real.
WSJ covered it today. At some point these tech companies are going to find a large enough talent pool that they don’t have to put up with this shit.
Just started up police scanner. First thing In heard. Yeah, the store has been broken into and looted by the peaceful protesters. Didn’t hear original dispatch so not sure what store.
One piece of good news – Steve King is done. Lost his primary.
Good.
Yeah!
That is good news.
A day or two ago, someone here asked if “the boogaloo” really was a group intent on a race war etc. I’m not a member of any such group, or a proponent of it, but from what I’ve seen they’re mostly people who hate taxes, infringements on the 2A, and the alphabet soup agencies that enforce them. The memes and rhetoric can be over the top, but I don’t think it rises above the woodchipper standard.
Boogaloo is a meme shared by many groups. I wouldn’t be surprised if some white supremacists have latched on to it. But like you said, a lot of 2A people have latched on to it as well. But it is a benefit to the leftist media to focus only on the smaller group.
Like how the Ok sign being a white power symbol was clearly a joke, but the media will focus on that some white nationalists have taken it seriously.
“White people have to pay for the sins of their father because they know who their father is.”
Comment I deleted before sending to a virtue signaling white FB friend.
Fuck it Straff, send it.
Yikes.
Yeah, probably best to have passed on that bon mot (but I, of course, laughed since I’m a libertarian shitlord).
If I could have do over, I would tell them exactly where the white women were.
Curfew started at 10. It’s now 1145. Hear on scanner. Large group of people heading southbound on Cleveland Ave which is the hood. We’ve been told to stand down and give them the street by the EOC. I hear another cop say Outstanding.
You have a scanner? Its digital? And does trunks?

I just go to Broadcastify.com:)
Fuck! Ours started at 6. Stores were a zoo at 4:30. AND they started the stupid lines to get in thing. AND they all had plywood over the windows. In Toluca Lake, LOL.
They had state mandated lines to minimize the amount of shoppers for Covid. Now they have them to avoid being overrun with looters. Fucking retard

What’s perhaps most frustrating to me about all of this is that the solutions are there. They’re obvious, even. But they’re things that are completely counter to progressivism and will never even be considered.
The last thing “progressives” want is for people to start examining these pubsec labor unions. If they talk too much shit on police unions, people might make the (100% true) conclusion that similar stuff goes on with other pubsec unions.
Race is a very convenient lightning rod for the anger.

Trshy are you ok in there?
Best day of his life.
She’s a retread but I won’t complain.
What a day. Driving 7 hours and the crappy hotel doesn’t have any decent beer. Not national brands and not actual local stuff. Like from the 10th largest craft brewery in the country that’s about 500 feet away.
Saw protesters in front of the county courthouse in one of the midsize cities of the state of Jefferson. Looked like atleast two dozen. Probably peaceful, but took a turn to the side streets instead of driving by just in case. My, uh, friend may have carried today possibly in violation of an employer’s policy. Xer wasn’t expecting go over gods green earth. First time really pocket carrying all day instead of just errands. Felt like it was printing like the Federal Reserve, but no one seemed to notice. Or if they did, they didn’t tell xer.
Hell, if I’m wearing a white dress shirt in sufficient light, you can kind of see a vague gun shape right through the fabric. But I think 99% of people are not going to scan your body for signs of a concealed weapon. As long as it’s not egregious and no parts of the gun are directly showing, I think you’re good.
One time, I was doing a brief trial period of carrying my Ruger GP100. I put the holster on my belt and put my winter coat over it, and it looked perfectly. My pants must have sagged as I walked through Kroger because when I was getting back in my car, I realized that a good two inches of the holster were plainly visible right under my coat. Thankfully nobody freaked out and called the cops. I went back to carrying my CZ-75 Compact* in an IWB holster after that.
* That fucking thing is scarcely smaller than most full-size 9mm handguns. A bit of a pain to carry, but I like the assurance of carrying 14+1 of Hornady Critical Defense.
Why didn’t you go to the brewery?
Closed (the tasting room/pub). Not sure if covidinsanity or just was too late. Was after 9 when I went by.
