Let us not forget the importance of the weekend.
Hey, Glibbies! Yep, it’s Saturday evening again. Time for erudite, poignant, nay brilliant links.

I really think the stroke turned him into a quasi-libertarian.
Hmmm, who do we know that lives in Texas?

WHEE!!! Now you get to wait an hour until a gate is open.
Okay, that’s good for today. Start warming up your liver. Tomorrow is a long day of Championship football.

Yeah, but if you’re a non-idiot and got a window seat, you’ll get an hour of excellent planespotting
If you were going faster than the speed of sound you wouldn’t be able to hear yourself talk
At least the plane didn’t end up in New York in 1939.
Not exactly the handsomest faces.
Well at least they weren’t small faces.
Experts say that the Christian nationalist overtones in this rhetoric adds a dangerous dimension to an already fraught situation.
“When people believe that they are working on behalf of God, they might be willing to resort to relatively extreme measures,” said Ruth Braunstein, assistant professor of sociology at the University of Connecticut and author of “Prophets and Patriots: Faith in Democracy Across the Political Divide.” ”And so you have a politically volatile situation that could become much more so, in part because of this rhetoric.”
The good guys, on the other hand, really are doing God’s work, and we should praise and revere them.
“When people believe that they are working on behalf of God, they might be willing to resort to relatively extreme measures”
Now do Islam.
Then do Hinduism, then Shinto. It’s a characteristic of theism, not of this flavor or that flavor.
Is it really? There are plenty of “theists” who have no interest in violent conversion.
If it wasn’t for the c, the coexist bumper sticker wouldn’t be meaningful
Not an expert but it seems like all of them go through a period of violence. Maybe more than once.
That’s kind of the history of the world though.
So it’s not unique to Islam. The only “interesting” correlation with Islam is how it seems to be baked into the teachings.
Then again, this guy in the New Testament said something about “I come not to bring peace but the sword.”
“I come not to bring peace but the sword.”
That always sounded a lot like “Now look what you made me do!” to me.
I cant remember, did he insert a ‘this is going to hurt me more than it will you.’ ?
It’s a universality of power.
Darwino-Freudo Marxism, despite being anti-religious and thoroughly atheist, sent 100M+ into the afterlife.
Ding ding ding!
But that wasn’t real Darwino-Freudo Marxism because real Darwino-Freudo-Marxism has never been tried.

The organizers of the “Take Our Border Back” convoy have called themselves “God’s army” and say they’re on a mission to stand up against the “globalists” who they claim are conspiring to keep U.S. borders open and destroy the country.
That’s a heapin’ helpin’ of sneering condescension.
…who would have gone unnoticed if not for somehow attracting the attention of the intrepid reporters at Vice.
Wait wut? The convoy is six trucks???
I guess we’re left to assume that it grew to monumental proportions from there.
Hysterical reporter: My God, it doubled overnight!!!
something something loaves and fishes? 😉
Well, it’s a little convoy.

Its not just patriots saying this, the globalists admit to it themselves.

If you had told me even a week ago that he would be taking the piss right out of a core democrat constituency, I would have said nuts to that.
Maybe its all a show, maybe not. We’ll see.
Perhaps he’s sane enough for a Dem to realize he’s living in something sorta resembling a swing state, and has to try to pick off some GOP voters.
More likely the heavy (((moneybags))) in Penna. that largely financed his campaign have made him quite aware of the influence they command.
I think there may also be extra sensitivity around the state given the Tree of Life incident and his political antennae are tuned to that.
It seems like since he recovered from his stroke, or whatever it was, he has dropped the hard left garbage.
When you face death in the face and survive fairly intact, it could be that pandering for a cause loses its luster.
Gisele was pretty firmly in charge when he was first elected. I think being in the hospital might have had more to do with disconnecting him from her than anything else. but i dunno maybe I’m being unfair to her and she was just being protective when he was ill.
The convoy’s crowdfunder on GiveSendGo has raked in more than $30,000 just this week, totaling nearly $50,000 by Friday morning. “Once willing to die defending this country, now willing to die protecting my family from what this country has become,” said one donor, who identified himself as a Navy vet. “Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes,” wrote another.

Someone was actually trying to sell a printed version for $18. The injection molded ones ran $5, and that still seemed silly (especially when they wanted $6+ for shipping) Though had I not noticed the print lines on the $18 one, I might not have thought to look for an STL and do it myself.

Even though I grew up to that, I like the Paul Brandt version better.
To belatedly reply to a post by Juris Imprudent on the a.m. links – this site has lost so many people that it has turned into more of an echo chamber than it was. So, a respectfully contrarian POV is a good thing.
On that note, I’ve been mulling over the debate here on immigration, and playing Devil’s Advocate: I think Biden’s loosening of the border has inadvertently been the only arguably libertarian thing he has done. For some of the basest and most evil motives ever, sure, but the people fleeing the commie tyranny of Venezuela are way more free now.
Feel free to dogpile on me for that opinion. 🙄
My quick shot is you can have mostly free immigration or social services, but not both.
Since we aren’t going to end social services no matter what we say here open immigration isn’t going to work.
Why is the status quo incompatible with allowing people to flee a socialist hellhole like Venezuela? I think you’re taking some assumptions for granted – perhaps you could make those assumptions explicit?
Should we stop people fleeing Cuba from seeking asylum too?
Your assumption is that either all or many of the swarm are actually asylum seekers of any sort.
My assumption is that when you throw the doors open and ring the dinner bell of handouts, you will get people looking for handouts alongside people looking to cause active harm to your country because there’s nothing stopping them. These groups easily add up to more than anyone with genuine humanitarian need.
What harm would the free riders cause, other than maybe voting Democratic and causing budget problems for states and cities offering generous perks?
Are the border crossers objectively statistically worse than, say, the median Californian native? What evidence for that supposition could you link to?
What is the alternative – barb wire and claymores and machine gun towers along the border?
I’m arguing in good faith here, BTW – I seriously would like something I could use to debate this with Mrs. Prole, who has asked me to make the libertarian argument for closed birders. Currently I’ve got nothing.
A: You’ve left off the crimes they commit that would not happen were they not here.
B: Voting At All will cause a cascade of problems making it harder to fix the issues we already have.
C: I’d happily disenfranchise and deport parasitic californians
D: You left off the skull racks and rotting carcasses to discourage more migrants. And I’d be quite happy with a zone of lethality for those trying to invade. I am not kidding or being hyperbolic. My tolerance is depleted.
E: I am not a libertarian, so don’t look to me for a libertarian argument.
No but we have to draw a distinction somewhere and there does happen to be a convenient method for doing this that has been more-or-less recognized worldwide for hundreds of years.
Looking for who “deserves” to be here just gets ugly.
Yes, if I have to pay for it.
You want private charities to pay and guarantee it for support I’m ok with it. Employers who bring over visa holders are on the hook for social services.
I’m also being blunt here on purpose. Recognizing there are more nuanced ways to allow people from shitholes to come here AND be productive. But WTH current environment I don’t see it happening.
At least Cuba is next door – one of the traditional pre-conditions for accepting actual asylees.
When I run the same argument through my head, I arrive at the conclusion that “libertarianism” is at times no more reflective of human nature than any other -ism.
A lot of goal posts have to be moved around in order to come to the conclusion that the world arriving at our doorstep is an unalloyed good.

We have opened enrollment and took off the search engine blocks. Not much more we can do about it. If the group wants more members, put out the word.
Maybe put up a sticky post at the top for a while announcing that, for lurkers who haven’t been able to chime in, see if the fix works?
There was a search engine block?
That seems…counterproductive.
It was based on the mindset when this site was first set up.
Oh, right.
The Jacket never did get back to me about that interview. Darn.
I once tried to find something that I knew I had written using google. I was actually pleased that it didn’t show up in search results.
I am not totally thrilled with the search engine blocks coming off.
Mixed feelings as well.
That said I can see upside as well.
So yes, we need to grow. It can’t happen if people can’t find us.
I will now need to self edit even more than before.
I for one am hoping to get rich
and famousonce “Hey Buddy, Stop Doing That!” goes viral and I can cash in on all the merchandizing tie-ins, HBSDT the Board Game , and other spin offs.Are you sure that isn’t bored game?
I have mixed feelings as well, but the group was clamoring for increasing our ranks. This is what we have available to us.
I understand the need. And I am not going to complain or argue against it.
I need this site to survive.
I am willing to deal with site being visible to search engines.
Yeah, I will need to stop being so cavalier with my real identity, but if you aren’t growing you are dying.
Hats off to hte PTB.
We could keep the comments excluded but that may be counterproductive.
How about the “POWERS THAT BE” leaning on “THE FOUNDERS” to actually participate in the site they created? Also; how about the “POWERS THAT BE” participating?
Hi MikeS!!
It makes me sad that many of the so-called TPTB don’t talk to us anymore
Hi, KK!
#metoo.
This!
If the people who run the site find the community/commentary they helped create beneath their notice or regard then what the fuck are we even doing here?
This question deserves an answer from those people.
*Final Drunken Thoughts*
…To be fair; The heart, love and soul of this place passed along with SP. That’s not a disparaging comment towards the remaining PTB, I’m just saying she was a incredibly special lady and things haven’t quite felt the same here since she left us.
*almost misty eyed*
Has someone said this? If not, why assume so? Unless we’re told, we don’t know what’s going on in any Glib’s “analog” life. People’s circumstances change, and they may simply have to reprioritize their time for other activities. They may also choose to do so for reasons that have nothing to do with the quality of the site or the other participants, so why jump to the conclusion that we should take it personally?
As far as I’m concerned, there are plenty of active Glibs here with whom I enjoy interacting, so if – for whatever reason – many of the original founders/PTB can’t or don’t choose to be active, it doesn’t make a difference to me. It would be great if they did, but I’m not going to fret about why they don’t. Something/someone keeps this site going – that’s what’s important to me.
an echo chamber than it was
Yeah, that’s a tendency I don’t like and probably amps up my contrariness just a wee bit.
Opening the border is not a libertarian win particularly given it wasn’t done on the basis of libertarian principle, but for entirely different and incompatible reasons (to any fucking principle). Very open immigration has worked in the past, when assimilation was the default and welfare was not. You have to establish the right conditions to allow greater immigration.
You mean if I’m an expat in India and I can’t my public school there to give my kid Christmas off?
OTH, my town finally caved to the braying and Diwali is a school holiday. Mind you there were never tests and attendance was never mandatory on that day, but that doesn’t count as a reasonable enough accommodation. Naturally that pissed off a second group so we also now do the same with the Lunar New Year.
Lots of assimilation.
Exactly my point. Our glorious morons in charge have destroyed what worked because assimilation to our culture is evil. What you bring is more important than what you leave behind. Wrong fucking answer.
They’ll all turn into white supremacists if we aren’t careful.
The South Asians in particular.
The
blackYellow Face of white supremacy.So much this.
Let me amplify on the point about assimilation. This country is the world’s dumping ground for the malcontents within their own culture. A friend once mused that if Mexico had to keep all of the people striving for a better life (in America), there would be a revolution there. So it very much works for the Mexican elite to let those people escape that culture and migrate north. It also pays handsomely as the now-successful-in-the-U.S. send money back to help sustain the rotten system in Mexico. I don’t doubt the same is true elsewhere – for someone that wants what isn’t in accord with their native culture can find the freedom and opportunity here to pursue that.
Given that historically, we were open to anyone motivated, it all worked reasonably well. Oh, we had bouts of nativism and some prejudice against foreigners that made our prejudice against blacks – pale in comparison. But the Irish, the Italians, the Chinese, the Japanese, the Polish – everyone had the chance in the long term to succeed.
But we pissed all of that away. Could it be restored? I don’t see why not – other than you have to bust a lot of shit-filled heads.
Yeah, the last 75 years or so of schooling has been all about tearing down everything that made the U.S. unique – including the “melting pot”. The concept was still on its last legs when I was little but today it’s just lumped into “racism” along with everything else.
All of which was meant to say that restoring it is going to be *extremely* difficult. I won’t live to see it if it happens.
I do not care if they come here.
I don’t even care if they work under the table. Working underthe table should be an option to anybody who can find such arrangements.
I don’t want them getting free healthcare, food stamps, land, or housing. Come at your own risk. Bring your own fucking tent. If you’re trespassing private property, prepare to get buckshot in your ass. You’re not getting anything from anybody except work if you can find it. Good luck!
Unfortunately I don’t know if you can put that sailed ship back into the bottle.
I don’t care either if churches or bleeding hearts want to carry their load. Just don’t put a gun to my head taking my resources and denying my body my choice.

Open borders is a 2 way street. I should be able to freely head south or north with not having to slow down and live in any country I pass through and expect the same courtesies. Open 1 way is not Open Borders. I can’t even go to Canada without a border interrogation and a passport. I speak passable Canadian, wear Carhartts inconspicuously and can clean my own fish but still am not respected.

Brought the missus down to The Villages to see Home Free in concert tonight.
I’m immediately pegged as an outsider since I’m wearing khakis and topsiders instead of Bermuda shorts and New Balances. The wife has been driven to distraction with all the geezers zipping around in their golf carts, making traffic perilous for the car people.

I hate to hear of a convoy coming to the Texas border. They will only make negative headlines and work to Biden’s advantage. I really think it best to stay away for now.
This just came out:
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/border-patrol-says-agents-will-not-remove-texas-razor-wire-barriers
That statement is great.
Biden having a mutinous department – oh be still my heart.
More likely, it’s against their union work rules.
“The Border Patrol Union also issued a statement outlining that agents will not interfere with Texas National Guard members carrying out “lawful” operations.”
Sub-theme: “our union employees have indicated an aversion to razor wire due it being “scary, icky, and may cause members to get cut at work”
I showed up at work one day, and my crew was wound. We were on the training schedule to go to an adjacent departments training facility to participate in “crowd control training” with law enforcement. I called my battalion chief and said “John, do I really need to say the words?”. Training was cancelled 20 minutes later.
Your guys didn’t want to play with water cannons?
That hit at the very core of why I did the job.
Point being, Texas National Guard and CBP people below the level of supervisor have been in close contact. There is no way we will see conflict between the two.
good points.
I think it’s just that Nascar season hasn’t started yet.

Saks says that organizers have been in contact with local law enforcement along the convoy routes and in rally locations. Additionally, the rallies will take place on private property, which he says will empower event security to remove any troublemakers. The locations for the Arizona and California rallies haven’t been posted yet.
Heh. That won’t stop the Feds’ agent provocateurs.
RE: Fetterman: His early life:
Fetterman’s passion for rehabilitation—and other progressive policies—might seem unlikely for someone with his background. He grew up in Central Pennsylvania’s York County, the son of an affluent insurance firm partner. As a teenager, he describes himself as a “football-playing meathead.” His family members were all Republicans, so he was a conservative too, though “not in an aggressive or angry way.”

Well, got my first paycheck from New Job yesterday…today my car and tablet crapped out… probably looking at least $1000 in immediate expenses to repair the most immediate concern(car troubles)…
Man makes plans, God laughs.
Hey, dude. I haven’t been around much…I hope you’re doing OK. Obviously this news sucks ass, but is the new job OK, at least?
New Job is a blessing. An extra 10k in income per year while doing ridiculously easy bullshit below my pay grade. Really, overall I feel pretty goddamn blessed… it’s just the unrelenting nut punches to my savings account that stresses me out. I have plans, goals, aspirations, a desire to try to build something in this back half of existence. But every time I get my head fully above water another wave rolls in, leaving me struggling to keep my nostrils open and inhaling… struggling for damn near thirty years is exhausting…I’m exhausted.
I don’t know what I can say that isn’t a cliche. Doing easy work for extra cash is a damn nice turn of events, though. Keep that train rollin’!
How are you, bud? Our paths haven’t crossed much in real time over the last year or so. What’s good? What’s not so good?

I like listening to radio from the 90’s. It really reminds you that the more things change, the more they stay the same.
Listening to the Art Bell video I linked to yesterday, and it starts with him recapping the news of the day. He talked about Bill Clinton campaigning on Bush being soft on China (fucking HA!) . The Clinton admi wanting to tax cigs. The Clinton administration wanting to introduce a federal ID cad in the name of stopping fraud (fucking HA!). But it would help stop illegal immigration and welfare fraud. Problems that they really had interest in stopping.
Clinton used tough on China rhetoric to get the Chinese to funnel money to the DNC.
Clinton trying to ram through healthcare reform. The great leftist canard. You can never reform healthcare enough.
Some women ranting about the privilege of the white middle class and how we shouldn’t be focused on minorities and illegal crime.
IT’S ALL THE SAME. Could have been recorded yesterday with a few names changed and you wouldn’t know the difference.

Good morning, Sean, rhy, and Ted’S.!
Raining here, and supposedly it’s going to turn to wet snow later in the day.
I’ve got a new computer chair to put together that I bought yesterday at Sam’s Club. They’ve started requiring members to show ID on entry again. What that says about society/the economy, I don’t know.
Similar weather here. Had to drive through a doozy of a downpour coming back from the microbrewery we visited last night in the northern Cincinnati area.
So Sam’s is carding again, eh? I haven’t gone in myself for awhile. I don’t mind that so much as the cart check on the way out, taking inventory of everything everyone bought. Have they managed to expedite that somewhat?
I don’t buy full carts worth of stuff when I go there so it doesn’t take me quite so long to get out. They had two people doing it yesterday, however.
Morning y’all.
Had the first cuppa, ready to look for some wildcats. Hope they’re hard to find and not too big. Picked up the bee boxes yesterday that we had moved away before HH. Bees were dead, as expected, now to clean ’em up and get ready for another year;
Good morning, 4(20)! You be careful out there with those wildcats! I have one of their cousins occupying my lap, and there’ll be hell to pay if I don’t appease him in whatever manner he chooses! 😳🐱👤

FINALLY. I have been trying for years to join the site.
How I became a Glib (hopefully not TL;DR) I was on foreign work assignment during “The Departure” from TOS, and when I got back, it seemed like the exodus was invite only. After a few months, I tried to register at Glibs, but for some reason I was never able to sign up. Subsequently, it seemed as the was a glitch in the registration process (???). Maybe it was just me. This morning, Spud mentioned that enrollment was open, and here I am.
“I have mixed feelings as well, but the group was clamoring for increasing our ranks. This is what we have available to us.”—I have noticed in the past that the commenter ranks were shrinking. I Hope that with registration being open, You (we) attract more commenters who have something to add, just not a bunch of trolls.
As my first comment—Fuck you, cut spending.
