That’s all I got for today. I’ll leave you with a song and move along with my day.
“Contents of top secret documents seized in Mar-a-Lago raid leaked to WaPo”
Wait! I’ve seen this one.
“During the Aug. 8 raid at Trump’s Florida home, the FBI seized 54 documents labeled Secret, 18 documents seized labeled Top Secret, and another 31 documents that were labeled Confidential. This is in addition to the thousands of documents that were not labeled classified, personal documents belonging to the former president, and personal items.”
That doesn’t mean they still were. I have some nuclear stuff from the 50’s with classification markings.
But what about the poop knife? Is it still safe?
“That doesn’t mean they still were.”
This is what I don’t get. While he was President, he has carte blanche to classify and declassify at will. It would seem the burden of proof is on the State to prove a negative that he didn’t declassify this stuff before he left office, something that seems impossible to me.
Of course they entire thing is nothing but one giant FYTW so they’re not worried about the merits of the case. If they’re able to get a corrupt DC jury to indict/convict, great! But the main thing is to just keep up the attacks. TDS knows no bounds.
I think it’s mostly to distract voters from the economy and other issues.
“We had to burn the village to save it.”
As I understand it, declassification also requires someone to go through and make redactions, so if that didn’t happen, perhaps they aren’t officially redacted. Considering Trump’s lack of diligence regarding process, that seems plausible.
declassification also requires someone to go through and make redactions
This seems at odds with the President’s plenary authority to classify/declassify.
Clicked too soon.
Even if that is required before they are released to the public, that doesn’t mean they aren’t declassified pending redaction.
Can they string him up on a technicality or two? Almost certainly. Will that mean this isn’t a politically motivated prosecution? Absolutely not.
It’s terrible dor the dormer president to have thise doduments, but totes OK for the media to have them.
NuClEAr SeCrETs!!!!!!
Funny how there were no leaks of secrets while those documents were in Trump’s possession, but as soon as the government retrieved them to secure them, they somehow made their way to the media.
Obviously it was totally necessary to get those documents back so they could be secured and leaked.
What is rolling on the floor laughing funny is that when Trump was being impeached for asking Ukraine to look into the shady business dealings of Biden, the FBI was actively investigating Hunter for shady business dealings in the Ukraine!
You would think that if bureaucrats were unable to keep their yaps shut about a phone call between two pols, they would also blab that yeah the other pol’s kid is so shady that he is being investigated.
You reckon the FBI will raid the offices of The Washington Post and steal all of their files? Or raid Frederick J. Ryan’s home and steal all of his computers and phones?
Documents so top secret that they have been leaked.
“Contents of top secret documents seized in Mar-a-Lago raid leaked to WaPo”
Yeah, Russia Hoax 2.0… Or is it 3.0?
“White House claim Biden wasn’t briefed on Trump investigation contradicted by National Archives”
The chance of this being true is about as high as the chance that Hillary Clinton comes out and admits she is one of the dark powers of Lovecraft mythology.
She’s not that bad: just your standard corroptocrat harridan bitch.
Let me introduce you to SugarFree.
No,
It’s a paradox Alex. If you tell Biden all about the plans but he is too senile to remember it, does it really count? Like one of those trees falling in the woods.
That’s some Johnny Cochran defense there your holiness….
IF THE GLOVE DOESN’T FIT, YOU MUST ACQUIT!

“Hillary Clinton Lies About Her Mishandling of Classified Information”
The shameful thing isn’t that she is a lying cunte, but that she knows she will get away with it because nobody in the old programming the lemmings media will call her out for it.
Ex-Prince William County voter registrar Michele White is charged with two felony counts alleging corrupt conduct as an election official and making a false statement, and one misdemeanor charge of willful neglect of duty by an elected official, Miyares said.
White resigned abruptly last year without explanation.
Well, no explanation needed now.
THE ONLY TIME THERE IS FRAUD IS IF SOMEHOW THE CANDIDATE THE STATE WANTS DIDN’T WIN THE RIGGED ELECTION!
I hate that the latest redistricting puts me in the same Congressional district as the Hoodbridge area of PW. Ew, Spanberger.
“In her ruling, Cannon pointed out that a letter from the National Archives to Trump’s legal team in May concluded by saying: “NARA will provide the FBI access to the records in question, as requested by the incumbent President, beginning as early as Thursday, May 12, 2022.””
That still doesn’t mean Biden knew anything about it.
““No. The president was not briefed … was not aware of it. No. No one at the White House was given a heads up,” Jean-Pierre said the day after the search. “We learned about this just like the public, just as you all were reporting it, through the public reports.” ”
Well, that’s just bullshit.
I know. That was a ridiculous falsehood. I am going to avoid this falsehood and play with cats.
They read about it in the papers… that sounds… familiar.
I can believe that Joe discovers he’s president every day by reading the paper.
It’s like 50 First Dates but for the president.
Hunh, I was told that belief in a deep state, a strata of unelected bureaucrats that do whatever they want, is a sign of mental illness and unfitness for office.
That is kinda the hole they dug for themselves. No, Biden probably had no idea of it, just like he as no idea of the pudding flavor he is going to get, but someone used his office to order this. And that someone has fucked the Dems.
Though it remains to be seen if anyone will be made aware of it outside of political junkies. Hunter? Hunter? Hunter?
Though Texas has seen strong tax collection this year, such performance might not continue. State revenues across the United States might be affected in future fiscal years, according to a report published by the Urban Brookings Tax Policy Center
Eventually, Texans (like everybody else) will realize that their money isn’t going as far as it used to, and will tighten their belts.
Sometimes when your savings buying power is drastically being lost, the best thing to do is to buy things that will not lose value as fast…
I’ve been looking at Italian and Spanish over/under shotguns, and will make this argument to The Bosslady when I go to spend the money on them.
“Honey… it’s not a frivolous purchase, it’s an investment!” And I’ll be right.
Not that it’ll matter.
Those Benellis are worth the expenditure..
I love the one I lost in a boating accident.
It’s a little hard to swallow, as a patriotic ‘murican gun nut, but the Italians are kicking our asses in the shotgun department.
Depends on what kind. For a fancy trap/bird gun? Italy For a lead dispenser? USA
I’d take a Benelli M2 or a Beretta 1301T over any American fighting shotgun made in the last eighty years.
And the evil one beats me to the punch. At least for semi-autos.

Shocking Evidence of the FBI’s Assault on 2nd Amendment Rights
I saw a GOA tweet about this. Apparently the fed will just corral you at home or at work, show you your mean tweets, then coerce you into signing a document that makes you unable to pass an instant background check. Looks like they targeted some people who weren’t firearm owners. Quite peculiar.
Talk to my lawyer…
Nope, “Hang on a second, I’ve got something on the stove. I’ll be right back”
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, but I am. Who in their right mind would sign anything that an FBI agent put in front of them, without having a lawyer review it?
It’s not exactly like they politely ask you if you’d like to sign it. Most people are (rightfully) terrified of the FBI and (mistakenly) believe that their obsequious cooperation will win them reprieve.
Oh, I know how the FBI stages their contacts. I’m just surprised that after thirty years of lovingly-documented federal law enforcement misconduct, people still think they can cooperate their way out of trouble.
“I have nothing to say without my attorney present.” Memorize it and have it on a mental playback loop.
Can’t be said enough. Thanks to the fuckhats on the supreme court, literally can’t be said enough, since your silence can be used against you unless you articulate that you are invoking your right to remain to silent.
It’s not that I am a lying fucking no good loser, but that everyone else is woman haters!
Seriously, this is progressivism in a nutshell: I am a mental basket case, but all my problems are caused by other people not seeing how special I am!
“Everyone comes up to me and says, ‘I would vote for you, if you had a penis,'” Warren said after a disappointing third-place finish in the 2020 Iowa caucus.
I’ll take Shit That Never Happened for 1000.
Yeah, if anyone had ever actually said that to Warren, she would have had the phalloplasty scheduled for the next day.
So all your Democrat friends admit they are misogynists.
Wow, just wow… that’s over the top bullshit.
if you had a penis
Which is why I keep telling you that Michele Obama will be running in 2024
I assumed she keeps her husband’s penis in a jar.
I saw this out of context and thought you were talking about Meghan and Harry.
Sitting Bullshit.
Back in my coaching days – I coached my kid’s baseball & football teams for a bit – I often had arguments with the “trophy for everyone” adults. IMO from the interactions I came to believe that these “trophy for everyone” types tended to be the parents that when they were kids sucked at everything and felt hurt about it. So they were desperately trying to make their kids, whom also tended to be unable to stand out, not have to feel their desperation. They never saw the kids that knew the whole thing was bullshit react to the trophy thing. Most knew getting the trophy for no real reason was actually worse than not getting one, and you saw it in their attitude. But some of them started acting as if they were the shit. These tended to be the kids that put in the least amount of effort at anything and practically always also sucked at everything. They all grew up to be libs except for one kid from a real progressive family, who went into the military because he worshipped his grandpa and wanted to follow in his footsteps, and then completely rebelled against the idiocy of progressivism once he learned that you needed to earn your self-esteem.
OFFS.
Maybe stop running far-left corrupto-crats.
Does she ever stop acting? Does she have any honest interactions in her pathetic life?
Like most politicians, she’s probably a sociopath who hasn’t expressed an honest emotion in her life.

“we obviously are in a real divided, polarized, politicized world, where sadly at times pastors feel the pressure to take positions on every imaginable topic”
https://www.foxnews.com/us/pastors-battle-skyrocketing-burnout-politics-pandemic-wearing-soul
I’m sure this has nothing at all to do with most Mainline Protestant denominations going the same way as Reform Judaism by defenestrating any semblance of religious doctrine and replacing it with proggy zealotry. Nothing. At. All.
And pay no attention to all those congregations in Asia and Africa breaking with the churches and forming their own out of rejection of woke insanity.
Same thing is happening here.
That can’t possibly be it. The Millennials are leaving because the church is insufficiently woke! They must get woker!
I bet they are leaving because they realize that any institution whose values change – often to diametrically opposed ones – at the drop of a hat, doesn’t have anything of real value to offer. Organizations that hold beliefs they claim are higher than man that treat said beliefs without reverence are fake as fuck.
It’s a combination of things. As a group, Millennials really are ultra-woke (and not “growing out of it” – they’re between 25 and 40 now; hate to say I Told You So). They’re also ultra-irreligious. So church membership was destined for decline among that cohort regardless of what the church did. But you’re 100% correct that the church choosing to pander to people who were never going to go to church in the first place by soft-peddling (at best) their theology not only doesn’t bring in the irreligious, woke Millennials, but actively disgusts the tiny minority of religious or questioning Millennials who might have turned to the church, and empties the pews of the sincerely religious of all ages.
1. “Millennials really are ultra-woke (and not “growing out of it” – they’re between 25 and 40 now; hate to say I Told You So)”
2. “They’re also ultra-irreligious”
They’re actually ultra-religious, just with devotion to the cult they’ve been indoctrinated into: wokism. In some ways, the “average” Millennial (SLD about collectivizing applies, but I’m trying to make a point) is a testament to the resiliency of the human instinct toward spiritual enlightenment and religious ritual. It’s just that the religion into which they’ve been bred is utterly dysfunctional, built on lies and ultimately results in misery and suffering.
100% agreed. I suppose it would have been more accurate to say, they’re not religious in the sense of conventional religion. Certainly anti-Christian. Astrology and new age quasi-Taoist spiritualism remain acceptable in that cohort as well, so long as you practice whatever bastardized Western hybrid is en vogue and not an actual Eastern religious practice. Nietzsche’s famous “God is dead” quip is often quoted utterly out of context such that the original meaning is inverted. We’re actually living in the hellscape he predicted would arrive when people lost their shared moral framework based on myths and religions (in his framing).
Humans are hardwired for religion. Without anything formal, people adopt an animism (the evil spirits that exist in porn, guns, SUVs, internal combustion engines etc). They also adhere to the Laws of Sympathy and Contagion remarkably well.
Yep. Hence why every Year Zero project to remake human nature under whatever fashionable political guise fails so spectacularly. And yet blank slate theory still remains…
Humans are hardwired for religion.
Yep. I had a professor who showed us a video about the “Tasaday” tribe, who supposedly had no religion. It was full of “noble savage” stuff, but the prof was especially excited about the “no religion” part. And I immediately knew it was a bunch of BS because of that. No religion, please, how could any anthropologist fall for that?
I watched this play out at my church. When it came to pandemic shit, Pastors were in a no win situation. Play by Covid rules and have half your congregation leave. Say “fuck the Covid rules”; have half your congregation leave. My church did a mostly good job of sidestepping the issue. Idiot maskers sat on the main floor, antimaskers sat on the balcony.
The takeaway is; fuck you Fauci.
Oh cry me a fucking river. 11 of the 13 disciples died as martyrs rather than allow the empire to keep them from congregating. Peter was crucified upside down. Simon the Zealot was sawed in half upside down from crotch to head. Stoning was the most humane fate they faced. Even today in China and N. Korea there are Christian missionaries holding prayer meetings and preaching the gospel in private homes and underground venues at the risk of summary execution. “B-but half my parishioners will leave!” is weak tea if you’re actually a pastor and not a grifter concerned more with the weekly receipts than doing the things your God told you to do.
I wasn’t crying but ok.
My point was that politics is fracturing the church the same way it’s fracturing everything else. I neither condemn nor condone pastors trying to sidestep the issue….walking a mile in another man’s shoes and all that.
That wasn’t intended to be directed at you, but at the pastors bitching about “burnout” or tiptoeing around to avoid offending the portions of their flock who self-evidently don’t take their faith all that seriously. Sorry for the confusion. Hazards of text-based communication and all that.
Gotcha. I agree and I think there are probably a huge percentage of pastors out there who are more concerned with a light collection plate than standing on biblical principle.
That being said it’s a two way street….the parishioners are half the problem in this equation. Covid was enlightening for seeing where a lot of parishioners priorities actually lay.
Also after a little more thought I’m probably personalizing this a little bit. Full disclosure: I stopped attending my church for about a year during the pandemic because they played the Covid games initially. In the year since I started going. Back I’ve got to know my pastor and, while I probably would not have been as accommodating of the Covid hysteria as he was”; I’ve come to the conclusion that he’s a good man and the real deal.
I haven’t stepped foot in a church in 15 years or so, and on account of my experiences in the 17 years I spent attending church, I’m not anxious to do so any time soon. So in many ways I’m a millennial stereotype, and a piss poor example of what a Christian should be in any case. In that regard, I suppose I shouldn’t be criticizing anybody else, but then I don’t put on the mantle of a teacher or leader either. When you do that, you should expect to be held to a higher standard, and you should be willing to take unpopular stances that alienate you from the secular world, especially when it’s most difficult. I think a lot of modern Christian pastors are going to have a lot to answer for if this thing of ours turns out to be the real deal.

Just join one of the many secular churches. They cater to people who want religion to affirm their lifestyle. They may even have a swingers group.
I hear the Cathars are looking for congregants.
Does anybody else think Fauci bears at least a passing resemblance to ass-to-ass guy from Requiem for a Dream?
Also, what possible reason would they have for turning over those emails when they know they will never face any form of punishment for failing to do so?
Probably bad luck.

“Nigerian officials intercept 7,000 smuggled donkey penises at international airport after smell from sacks aroused suspicion
It is illegal in Nigeria to kill donkeys for their body parts and smuggle them to foreign countries – but illicit smuggling continues.
The Donkey Dealers Association of Nigeria this week urged the Nigerian government to prosecute those who engage in the indiscriminate killing of donkeys and the smuggling of their animal parts outside the country.”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11193041/Nigerian-officials-intercept-7-000-smuggled-donkey-penises-international-airport.html
Suspicious smells from sacks are almost always best left unexplored.
Donkey Dealers Association of Nigeria – Band name
7,000 smuggled donkey penises – Debut album
I call dibs.
I’d buy that for a dollar.
I am delighted to know that The Donkey Dealers Association of Nigeria exists.
#metoo
Why, without the DDAoN’s seal of approval, you might get taken in by the fly-by-night rookery of those unscrupulous back alley donkey dealers and come away with a pony bedecked with false ears.
Now, there is the album name: Back Alley Donkey Dealer.
Donkey, Donkey, Donkey.
That’s the sophomore album name after – 7,000 smuggled donkey penises
I know everyone says Back Alley Donkey Dealer isn’t as good but I think it compares favorably to their debut album.
Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Back Alley Donkey Dealer came out in ’83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He’s been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think DDaoN has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.
They should all combine forces to create the Donkey Dick Dealers Association.
Seriously, I can’t believe nobody has said this already. Get more coffee.
Take a page from Game of Thrones and start the Cock Merchant guild…
That story was gayer than a bag full of dicks. Wait…
It is illegal in Nigeria to kill donkeys for their body parts and smuggle them to foreign countries – but illicit smuggling continues.
I can’t think of more inhumane way to treat horses and donkeys than the laws in the US that forbid their use as food, even dog food. The end result being that people who can longer take care of their horses or donkeys find that can’t even give them away for free. So the equine’s fate is to slowly starve to death in a small enclosure instead of being granted a quick death.

Phew holiday weeks are too busy, havent even had time to seriously lurk, only skim. I prefer my 4-10 schedule. 8’s feel like the day as done as soon as lunch is over, and it’s lunch by the time all the morning meetings are done. All this rushing to get things done leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
Speaking of bad taste:Way to read the room, guys.

I’m not suggesting picketing, boycotts or anything. But I’m OK pointing out that it is what I consider poor taste.
Personally I’d take it up with management privately.
Yeah — I was expecting it to be much more disrespectful. A good idea? Probably not — but a lame attempt at evoking memories of the day / memorializing what happened? I can see that. I’d roll my eyes and let it slide if I encountered it in the wild.

This was a ship with a classic, simple design, which was about twenty yards long and shaped like a flattened salmon. It was admired by Zaphod and Ford when they saw it parked outside Milliways, as it was very clean, very sleek, and completely black. It was so extremely dark that it was hard to make out the shape, and it was almost impossible to tell how close you were standing to it. Zaphod commented that the light “seemed to fall into it”, and Ford said that his eyes seemed to slide off it. Zaphod repeatedly attempted to reach out and stroke the outside of the craft and feel the surface, however his hand was stopped, as it was totally frictionless. Zaphod called it “one mother of a mover”.

I actually had someone in my company HR group during a conversation try to tell me that pointing out government was the cause of all problems and not to be trusted made me sound like a nut. I told her that I think the nuts are the people that hold the beliefs that all the people that run private corporations/entities are motivated by evil (profits), but for some reason people in government all are saints and have no motivations or incentives to do things to profit for themselves. She shut up after that, but man was she fucking pissed at me.
Similarly, office workers bitching about the people at the top of a company as greedy liars. I suspect it’s partly because the speaker recognizes themselves as greedy liars (with less opportunity).
I was approached by the Oathkeepers at a gunshot about 15 years ago. They were enthusiastically asking people to sign up and take the oath keeper pledge.
My immediate thought was; “that’s a great way to end up on a government list”
I politely declined and walked away.

I wish someone would ask those selfless patriots Brennan and Strzok whether Trump was a greater security danger than.. oh, let’s say a Senator having a spy as her chauffer or maybe a Representative sitting on a security committee fucking a Chinese spy.
I generally take whatever Brennan says and assume the opposite is true.
So paper files at Mar-a-Lago were targets – but not an unsecured server connected to the internet with State Department emails running through it.
Wow… they’re just gonna pivot back to RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA, aren’t they?
Reboot the hoax… the idiots lap it up…
Or how about a CIA director who uses the CIA and their assets to target the president elect?
Isn’t Brennan an admitted perjurer, or was that just Clapper?
I don’t think either of them has ever actually admitted to it, but Brennan certainly perjured himself, although perhaps less spectacularly than did Clapper.
This story tests my opposition to the death penalty.
Uffda. Brooklyn Park PTA meetings must be a hoot
What the hell does the DHS have to do with recalled exercise equipment?
Peloton is also the subject of scrutiny from the Department of Homeland Security and the Justice Department, which have each subpoenaed the company for information on its reporting of product-related injuries.
This is all about the issue that Peloton didn’t initially agree to recall that regulators wanted. It’s the usual punishment that regulators do to companies who don’t conform.

Total Information Awareness.
Learn it, live it.
Total Information Awareness
The FBI describes the Oath Keepers as a “paramilitary organization” and a “large but loosely organized collection of militia who believe that the federal government has been coopted by a shadowy conspiracy that is trying to strip American citizens of their rights.”
Well, that’s just crazy. Where would anybody get that idea?
Yeah — the FBI is right, they’re not shadowy at all anymore.
It’s looking like Queen Elizabeth II might be departing from this existence soon.

Seems the fate of her nation is tied up to her own physical health, King Arthur style. Pound is plummeting, inflation is soaring, energy costs are going up exponentially. New prime minister has her work cut out for her.
Great Britain has peaked, I’m afraid. I haz a sad.
Based on who would follow her I too would be wondering if the future was doom or oblivion.
Well, when Chuckie 7 takes power, NHS will give free homeopathy for all!
They peaked 120 years ago. Now they are a backwater country that has been conquered by their old empire.
No kidding.

According to British redditors, the BBC has pulled their regular anchor for their major events guy (who is wearing the prerequisite black suit and tie), and cleared their broadcast schedule.
I have no strong opinions on this, I think she was a remarkable woman, and 96 is a great life span. Otherwise, not a fan of the monarchy nor royals. Nae king! Nae quin! Nae laird! Nae master! We willna’ be fooled again!
Ugh… Charles is still alive, isn’t he.
They passed a note to new PM Liz Truss to inform her during a public event too.
The Queen did do the constitutionally required act of formally meeting with the new PM Liz Truss yesterday to ask her to form a government (largely ceremonial but legally required).
However, the formation of the rest of the cabinet also requires the Royal blessing to be official, and Her Majesty had to cancel that meeting (of the Privy council) today.
So the UK is now in a bit of a conundrum; they have no official cabinet. They’re going to have to figure out a Regent situation in a hurry in order for any actions they take to be legally binding.
Kind of bizarre.
(Thank you for your WWII service, Queen Liz.)

Not a spring chicken, but at 96, good lord! I also commend her for not abdicating. These positions aren’t some 9-5 twenty year careers.
Her Nazi-sympathizing uncle’s abdication was the best thing to happen to the British monarchy in a long time.
The fact that Elizabeth didn’t expect to be the queen (since her dad was the 2nd son) when she was growing up was a big help, IMHO. So the queen Mum raised her to be a good gal, nothing more, until suddenly her uncle quit and she was in the line of succession.
My favorite picture of QE2 is the one where she’s changing a tire on an ambulance in WW2.
I am glad to be a free man and not a subject of another person, but if you’re going to have a modern royalty, you can (and Britain will) do much worse. Noblesse oblige is dead concept.
How do we get the rumor started that HRH died from a disease Liz Truss gave her during her visit?

From what I read, it was real, but they took it down.
If temperatures keep increasing at the rate they did between February and June it will be 500 degrees by December!
Wouldn’t climate change be a year-around thing?
Unless they just mean “hot weather”. Then, yeah, it will be back next summer.
I don’t think they know what they mean.
Speaking of deaths, Bernard Shaw (CNN) and Anne Garrels (NPR) both died yesterday.
I know he stayed on CNN for a very long time but I still always think of Desert Storm when I see Bernard Shaw’s name. That war occurred in a time when my father was essentially fired by his business partner and out of work, so he would watch the war news all day. I’d come home from school and CNN would invariably be on the television, and dad would give me a summary of what had happened since the morning.
I was working at a press clipping company during Desert Storm. I was in the video department, which meant we watched news videos every day to find and transcribe little snippets about whatever brand paid us to find them.
Anyway, one of the networks decided they wanted all news coverage of Desert Storm (24/7) transcribed. I made a lot of money on overtime during Desert Storm.
Meh, I thought Man and Superman was overrated.
Never let crisis go to waste
Putin, meanwhile, has overplayed his hand: his threat of disruption to energy supply has historically been enough to keep his neighbours docile, and maintain the scratchy equilibrium between democratic states and his increasingly authoritarian one. Actually disrupting the energy supply, conversely, will force us and the EU towards renewable alternatives, and once that gains momentum, the link between geopolitics and carbon resources will ultimately be severed. Good luck with strongman politics when there’s nothing underpinning them but bot farms tweeting mean things.
No one would ever wish to have been brought to a place where there are no alternatives. It would be better if Russia had not invaded Ukraine, if inflation were under control, if energy bills weren’t spiralling into impossibility. It would be better if the UK’s situation weren’t so particularly, idiosyncratically, bad. This is what a country looks like after 12 years of people who don’t believe in government, being in government. It turns out if you focus all your energy and resource on cronyism and getting re-elected, you can make life much harder for millions of people in a relatively short space of time.
But, for the want of alternatives, we will emerge from the next election with not only a new government but a radical and uncompromising plan for energy that will transform the way we live. We’ll look back on this as the inflection point that got us to net zero.
Lots of rhetorical flourish, not much substance. Typical green wishful thinking.
Or, you know, reliable sources of energy. As in, not intermittent, and not controlled by a foreign countries with dubious agendas.
It’s not like we’re totally reliant on friendly China for most of the shit that goes into exploiting “renewables” or anything.
LOL!

Nice. Unregistered NFA weapon, too, so the Feds can jump in if they want.
To be sure, the thought of the peasantry (ignorant insensitive unwashed louts though they may be) freezing this winter as they try to sustain themselves on cast off crumbs is… not pleasant.
But we must consider their suffering as a necessary stepping stone to our glorious end goal of utopian fascism.

DENISA GÁNDARA , ASSISTANT PROFESSOR IN THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATIONAL LEADERSHIP AND POLICY, UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN. Our best. Our brightest.
After much anticipation, the Biden-Harris administration recently announced that college-student borrowers will have up to $20,000 of their student debt forgiven. Student-debt forgiveness is an important first step in addressing societal inequities caused in part by structural barriers to wealth-accumulation, labor-market discrimination, and the predatory practices of many private, for-profit colleges. Now, we have to make sure no one is crushed by student debt in the first place.
We must reinvest in public higher education.
The benefits of higher education are well documented. Higher levels of education lead to better jobs, healthier lives, a stronger economy, and a more civically-engaged society. But we are poised to miss out on many of these benefits, both individually and collectively. In the last few years, we have seen precipitous drops in college enrollment. These declines are especially pronounced at community colleges, which mostly serve low-income students. This is a warning sign that inequities in educational opportunity could grow. Even worse, higher education is about to get more costly, which could further restrict access for students with the greatest financial need. Fitch, a credit ratings agency, projects that tuition is set to increase as inflation strains college budgets. This means even more students will have to choose between skipping out on college or taking on burdensome debt.
It is time to make college free. Research shows that free-college programs increase college enrollment, especially among students who have been historically underserved in higher education. To be sure, financial aid that is targeted to those who need it the most seems more economically efficient than making college free for all. But free-college programs have much larger effects on college enrollment than other forms of financial aid or reductions in college tuition alone. This is partly because the simple and straighforward “free college” message is a strong motivator to attend college, especially for those who don’t otherwise think they can afford it.
I don’t think she has ever heard the phrase “You get what you pay for.”
But by all means, let’s make college “free” and see how long it takes for a college degree to become just as useless and irrelevant as a high school diploma.
The alternative is to make college admissions much, much more restrictive – you know, like every other country that has “free” college.
By all mean, let’s watch that play out. 🍿
Yeah, funny how they always leave that part out.
“Our totally free trade school would be perfect for your kid.”
Just saw somebody requesting prayers for QE2. The woman’s 96. Do people think she should be immortal? Somehow royalty shouldn’t die? Magic or sumpin?
Could be praying for an easy death. Or for admission to the good neighborhood in the afterlife.
Yes. That’s the way I usually take that as well.
True, true.
Look at it from their point of view. Her successor is Charles.
Geoff Diehl, a pro-Trump and pro-life Republican, won the Massachusetts GOP gubernatorial primary on Sept. 6.
And will lose to Healey in the general because it is Massachusetts.
Look, the Dems support mutilating children, freezing and starving us in the dark, a racial spoils system, and rioting in the streets, but c’mon man! Vote for a Republican? Have you lost your mind?
That money from the pubsec unions won’t launder itself.
The other candidate in the GOP primary was endorsed by the Boston Globe. He would have lost to Healey as well.
I know.
Healey is pretty well hated by a lot of blue-collar type Dems. We’ll see how it goes. I still think Healey will win though.
Because of its effectiveness, making college free is a public investment that would pay for itself.
I just love it when people say stuff like this. Without evidence.
I’m confused. If its free, what’s the investment?
All of your kids’ future earnings.
So go for it, then. Pick you a bunch of yoots and you pay for it yourself, with a contractural relationship that they’ll pay you some fraction of their future income or something.
If it’s so effective and would pay for itself, this is a no-brainer “investment” for you, right?
If it’s so effective and would pay for itself, why do we need the debt forgiveness in the first place?
As ever, the retarded cargo cultists mistake indicators of success for causes. It’s the same concept that got us the “housing crisis”:
“Most people who own homes are prosocial and middle class. Ergo, we should give mortgage loans to everyone so they will become prosocial and middle class!”
Student-debt forgiveness is just the start of the structural changes needed to realize the promise of higher education, including social mobility and enrichment for individuals and economic and civic prosperity for society. We must now tackle the barriers that lie ahead. We are in a critical moment that can define the future of higher education and its ability to fulfill its promises. Powerful forces like pandemic-induced struggles, inflation and rising tuition prices, and growing distrust of higher education, stand to rob opportunities from the students who could benefit the most from higher education, those who are least likely to go to college in the first place. If we fail to act, existing inequities will continue to deepen. Now is the time to reinvest in public higher education.
Here’s a thought. If we devoted our energies toward fixing the government school system and focused on teaching basic skills like the old timey readin’ ritin’ and rithmitick, more people would be able to identify this sort of special pleading as the noxious self-serving hogwash it is.
Nevewr mind the 12 years of “education” that they just
receivedendured.This strikes me as a tacit admission that our K – 12 “education” system has failed.

As he says, it’s not an “energy crisis” that Europe is going through; it’s a leadership crisis. All these shortages and outages are caused by deliberate policies of the Left. That shouldn’t act so surprised.
Domestic terror
A quarter of American adults say they live in fear of being attacked in their own neighborhoods, according to a poll by NPR, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
The poll, conducted between June and July of this year and including a sample of 4,192 adults, found that Americans of color were more likely than white Americans to say they feared being threatened or physically attacked.
The poll found that a quarter of Black respondents, 26% of Latinos, 36% of Native Americans, 21% of Asian adults, and 19% of white adults say they have feared someone might threaten them harm in their own neighborhoods.
Obviously white supremacist murder gangs.
I was going to say I’m surprised its that low, until I remembered that our high crime areas are remarkably concentrated. Expanding, but still concentrated.
