Comply citizen!

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas, except for those of you that don’t celebrate Christmas.  I hope your day off wasn’t too irritating with all the Hallmark movies and their underhanded plot lines asking you to renounce your Pagan beliefs.  I suppose you could also watch reruns of The Andy Griffith Show, but that’s just an underhanded attempt to get you to lick the boot.  My family knew I wanted one of these Tiki Torches, because I have a dark sense of humor.

Now for some links!

 

The most entertaining thing about the World Cup?  Argentine mobs attempting to murder Lionel Messi.

Most days I am happy to know that I am a gun owner, and today is no different.

More climate change.

See that?  Now that’s a headline!

Yes, the challenge is what he will do to appease all those poor people. Then there is this:

We fought so hard and built so many good things, but people don’t care about it,” the 77-year-old rubber leader said.

The result is that an area roughly the size of Manhattan was destroyed during Bolsonaro’s presidency between 2019 and 2022. That’s triple the previous four years, according to an analysis by Socio-Environmental Institute, a Brazilian non-profit, based on official figures.

That’s it?  In three years they burned down a few square miles?  This guy arguably had a better shot at causing more damage.

 

Have a tune, that has nothing to do with any holiday at all!

    “Latin America has vast oil reserves, but one thing could threaten production: socialism”

    Not as good as “Headless Body in Topless Bar”, but still true.

  4. Tonio

    “An area the size of Manhattan.”

    Oh, noes! Why, Brazil is barely larger than Belgium. That’s a significant chunk of their land. LOLOL…

    “A day after Christmas, tourists and locals in Mexico City woke up to find several parts of the city covered in snow due to low temperatures. Local resident Evelyn Fernandez said she had been hoping to see snow for six years, and this year she finally did.”

    Where even the weather doesn’t show up on time.

    Argentine mobs attempting to murder Lionel Messi.

    Dude needs to clean up his act.

    They had planned to detonate a number of bombs across the capital to force the army to declare a state of emergency, in the hope of stopping the swearing-in ceremony from taking place.

    Brazilian glowies at work?

    • Count Potato

      That’s what I thought.

    • Scruffy Nerfherder

      It’s remarkable how few of these efforts actually come to fruition.

      All I’m saying is that it’s not that hard.

  9. Rebel Scum

    The agreement comes one week after federal officials filed a lawsuit against Ducey’s administration saying the border project was illegally built on federal land.

    There should be no such thing as federal land.

    • Count Potato

      I agree there should be way less of it.

  10. Count Potato

    “The town giving sober teens free beer

    People in the Belgian town of Balen noticed more young people getting drunk, so they invented the “sobercoin”.

    It encourages people to arrive at parties sober – by rewarding them with free drinks.”

    https://www.bbc.com/news/av/stories-64041984

    Not sure how free beer prevents drunkenness, but OK.

      He’s sorey he didn’t like it, eh?

      I’m sure he does, in a dungeon, wearing a gimp mask, when commanded too.

      • Tres Cool

        Yesterday I watched a documentary on MacAfee. A number of his “girlfriends” said he was into that.

    • juris imprudent

      Is that a play for masking too?

      • mexican sharpshooter

        Yes

    • Tres Cool

      The comments seem to reflect your sentiment.

  11. Rebel Scum

    You cuntes want a civil war.

    Well, you know, first of all, Mike Pence wants to run for president, and he doesn’t want to alienate the supporters of Donald Trump. So this is his way, I suppose, of trying to have it both ways. It would be too dangerous not to if the department believes that there is proof beyond a reasonable doubt that he committed crimes. We cannot have a situation in this country where a president is above the law or anyone else for that matter

    • R C Dean

      We cannot have a situation in this country where a president is above the law or anyone else for that matter

      Aww. That’s so cute.

      • Count Potato

        Adorable they can’t remember Trump ran against Hillary Clinton.

      • Rat on a train

        no reasonable prosecutor

    • Drake

      You cuntes want a civil war. War everywhere is the neo-con goal. They have nothing else to offer.

      Not really getting reported here, but they are really trying to instigate another war with Serbia.

      Several Western countries have “sent an ultimatum” to Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, demanding that Serbs in the northern part of breakaway Kosovo end their stand-off with local authorities, news website Pink.rs reported on Sunday.

      Kosovo is recognized as part of Serbia by the UN and most countries but has declared independence (like the Donbas Republics). Serbs living inside Kosovo (borders we drew up after the last war there) believe they are being abused so they erected barricades to keep the Kosovo authorities out. Serbia is supposed to make them take down the barricades, without the Serbian military entering Kosovo, and if they don’t NATO will do something… shoot their archduke, bomb them again, whatever. Going to war for exactly the opposite reasons we are paying the Ukrainians endless $billions to fight Russia.

    I’m watching episode 6 of the “War Factories” documentary on YouTube.

    This episode addresses factories in the occupied territories (Poland, France, etc) and how the Nazis really screwed up by price setting, central planning, etc. You could remove the Nazis and war context, and all the things they’re saying about planned economies and why they don’t work would still apply. (Which the historians on the show fully understand.)

    Why do our politicians have to be so willfully ignorant of history and economics?

    https://youtu.be/O1pMKy_9jVc

    • R C Dean

      Why do our politicians have to be so willfully ignorant of history and economics?

      Because they are richly rewarded for their ignorance?

      • Scruffy Nerfherder

        Nobody gets elected by telling their financial benefactors and the broader public “no.”

    • Ted S.

      I’m reminded again of the Thomas Sowell quote: “The first rule of economics is scarcity: there is never enough of an item to go around at a price people are willing to pay. The first rule of politics is to ignore the first rule of economics.”

      • juris imprudent

        Damn your nimble fingers!

      • Ted S.

        At least you get to have the good drugs fall out of your ass.

      • Zwak, who has his own double cross to bear.

        Now THAT is a true first!

      • Brochettaward

        Forgive him Great Firster for he knows not what he says.

    • juris imprudent

      Thomas Sowell comes to mind, and the First Law of Politics.

      • Ted S.

        He most certainly does, doesn’t he?

      • Penguin

        Friends, friends, we can all agree that Trudeaux, Schiff, and sundry are pieces of shit.

      • Penguin

        Sorey – “unmitigated pieces of shit”.

    • mexican sharpshooter

      That shit is written in books, and public schools made that a chore?

    • Count Potato

      ““Few in law enforcement predicted that the President of the United States would incite a mob attack on the Capitol, that he would send them to stop the joint session knowing they were armed and dangerous, that he would further incite them against his own vice President while the attack was underway, or that he would do nothing to stop the assault for hours,” the report dishonestly stated.”

      armed?

      • Rat on a train

        they (law enforcement) were armed and dangerous

      • juris imprudent

        +1 off-duty DEA agent

      • rhywun

        I have not seen a straight answer to that. Each “side” is claiming the opposite of the other.

      • R C Dean

        My recollection is that there is no indication that any protestor inside the Capitol had a gun. Maybe that off-duty DEA agent was inside the Capitol? I don’t recall.

        Burden of proof, it seems to me, is on those claiming the “mob” was armed.

      • rhywun

        Maybe it depends on how much work “the Capitol” is doing there.

        Inside? On the grounds? Somewhere in DC? Who the hell knows.

      • The Last American Hero

        There was that gut with the flagpole.

      Don’t leave Cocaine Mitch out.

      • juris imprudent

        I don’t think he is party to the orders the DNC hands down to the FBI.

      • Scruffy Nerfherder

        Oh I think he’s pretty cozy. He may not be in on everything, but he’s certainly in the category of “loyal opposition.”

    “Mystery as New Jersey mom, 51, is arrested for shooting dead her Republican-activist husband, 57, at home on Christmas Day – as social media shows happy photos of their vacations together

    David is remembered for his local efforts to elect GOP candidates to town positions, even running for office once himself on the Republican line. 

    But on social media, he regularly supported liberal ideals like defunding the police and gun control.”

    I’m watching episode 6 of the “War Factories” documentary on YouTube.

    This episode addresses factories in the occupied territories (Poland, France, etc) and how the Nazis really screwed up by price setting, central planning, etc. You could remove the Nazis and war context, and all the things they’re saying about planned economies and why they don’t work would still apply. (Which the historians on the show fully understand.)

    Have you watched the one on the Soviet Union, yet? It’s horrifying. Calling Stalin a monster is unfair to monsters.

  15. Hyperion

    Win?

    I don’t think so. They will completely ignore this and it will have zero effect on anything. The only time SCOTUS matters is when democrats win. If that happens, everything should be decided by SCOTUS and it’s saving ‘democracy’. Otherwise it is an affront to ‘democracy’ and everyone will die.

    • Rebel Scum

      We have immigration laws. I don’t see why we need an order based on the existence of an illness to slightly stem the tide of illegal aliens crossing the border.

      • Hyperion

        Because the immigration laws are not enforced. Title 42 is to stop undocumented migrants from plugging up the sewers in El Paso.

      • R C Dean

        Title 42 is to stop undocumented migrants

        I prefer not to use euphemisms on these topics, but that’s just me.

      • Hyperion

        That’s what you are sposed to call them, otherwise you are racist.

      • mexican sharpshooter

        I just call them Guatemalans, but I get a pass.

        I did not lol at that. I dindunuthin.

        Flaunting your privilege there.

      • mexican sharpshooter

        Flaunting your privilege there.

        Its like being able to get away with not wearing pants. You’d do it if you could.

      • Rat on a train

        Well, we have undocumented voting, why not undocumented migrants?

    • R C Dean

      Meaningless. It won’t be followed/enforced by the administration.

      They’re now claiming a “humanitarian crisis” at the border. The solution, naturally, is to let them all in.

      Consider that this year alone we have admitted enough illegals to populate three new cities each the size of Tucson. Its madness. All 670 million South Americans, Central Americans, and Mexicans could move to the US, and the leftists/WEFfers/Dems would be fine with that.

      • Hyperion

        Not to mention the entire continent of Africa, and China has about 1.5 billion who would love to come. Yet, we are supposed to take someone seriously when they say there should be no immigration restrictions. Imagine 4 billion people inside US borders. Nothing could possibly go wrong, right? We just need to lift Congressional spending constraints, that will fix it and we’ll still have a little left over for Zelensky to graft.

      • R.J.

        Imagine a world where people had to move based on their political tendencies. Vote leftist? Pack your bags and move to China. Like federalism? Come to America.
        It’s a silly thought.
        But I wrote it anyway.

      • Hyperion

        Basically will be the same effect. Everyone will come here and no one will move to China, or Europe.

      • juris imprudent

        If they have a story that makes you shed a tear, you must let them in.

  16. Hyperion

    “My family knew I wanted one of these Tiki Torches, because I have a dark sense of humor.”

    I like those. I almost bought some, but we plan on moving and are trying to not buy anything until we do.

    “Argentine mobs attempting to murder Lionel Messi.”

    After the mobs keep electing commies, why do we think anything they do is beyond belief? I’m just disappointed they didn’t kill commie pope yet.

      • grrizzly

        He’s had a Spanish passport for a long time. There’s a limit on the number of non-EU players on the field. Each non-EU player is motivated to get a EU passport.

      • mexican sharpshooter

        Did not know that. Sounds like protectionist bullshit to me.

      • juris imprudent

        Pulisic has a Croatian passport for a similar reason.

      French continues to be one of the more loathsome individuals in political commentary still alive.

      That didn’t stop The Dispatch from continuing to take money to shut up conservatives and conservative causes. For their willingness to participate in Big Tech’s anti-free speech crusade, these suppressors are paid from Facebook’s more than $100 million “fact-checking” investment.

      • Count Potato

        But wait, there’s more!

        “The Twitter files discussion contains so little nuance because it hasn’t distinguished different forms of government power. Lots of folks don’t know this, but government actors have their own 1A rights even as they’re constrained from violating the 1A rights of others. /1”

      • Brochettaward

        Remember – Trump can’t block people from his personal Twitter account, but the FBI reporting content to be removed online and paying Twitter to do it is an exercise of their first amendment rights.

        Are we sure French didn’t study constitutional law when in college? He’d make a great judge.
