I was mildly troubled by today’s H&H. Mostly because Trumpfest yesterday took place about a half mile from my house—lets just say rednecks still drive pickup trucks and they let loose the gas!
I had nothing to do with any of that. On to the news from the south.
IMF: Latin America is projected to achieve the worst economic performance since 1980. They can say with a straight face, because their data for the region only goes a far back as 1980.

Gilberto said he’s busy working as an electrician and does not really have the time to wait on the endless lines that have become customary in Cuba during the coronavirus pandemic.
“It’s difficult. Everything is scarce,” said Gilbert, who spoke on the condition of anonymity and asked that his last name not be used.He complained that the crowd standing outside the store in Habana del Este, a Havana suburb did not seem to be practicing too much social distancing. Then he quipped, “What people are really afraid of is not finding food, compadre.”
This is for cooking oil. He was waiting for cooking oil.
Here, have some tunes. Its a classic.

Venezuela’s embattled ruler President Nicolas Maduro has made the most of the coronavirus lockdown to stamp his authority over the country’s key political institutions, all in the matter of a week.
He’s just copying President Cartoon Villain.
That whole story raises one question in my mind. Exactly what control did he not have? Venezuela has been pretty much an absolute dictatorship for a couple of decades now.
Okay, it has been 24 hours and I have a question. How many people are are actually upset about the media continuing to push the fake NASCAR noose story?
My immediate circle is absolutely livid. But we are all from the south and we take it as a blood libel directed at us. Everyone on TV seems to think that it is the greatest thing ever and it is totally true and he is actually a hero even though nothing actually happened.
So what say you? Where is this on your personal Richter scale? Is this a two? A zero? Several of my friends are at 11.
Its NASCAR. I don’t care.
That’s what I thought. I find it interesting. None of us see it as a NASCAR thing. There’s not a Nascar fan in the group.
Exactly. People screaming the loudest about it aren’t fans either.
Much like the people screaming that Nascar fans wouldn’t like Danica Patrick because they’re all a bunch of knuckle-dragging sexists.
You leave racing babe out of this….
I was, til stint racing, so Fuck NASCAR
I would say the same except this hoax seem[s/ed] to have the potential to blow up in their faces as it should, due to the enormous attention it is receiving & it won’t go away like other hoaxes.
It could only be less relevant if it was CART.
I’m about a 2. It’s worth mentioning, and some derision, but that’s about it because it’s no more outrageous than 20 other things that the media pushes every week.
^^ I might move it to a 3 or 4 because NASCAR hastened the demise of quality racing, and I hold a grudge.
I don’t know about anybody else, but even though I don’t get involved in these topics, much less debate them—there are too many, they’re all equally outrageous, and gaslighting is exhausting to fight—I’ve got battle fatigue.
I’m constantly het up and though I stay away from the topics, when I read stupid shit, my heart gets to thundering with a fight-or-flight response even though a) I don’t have to do either and b) I have no intention of it.
My anger and fear are always there, bubbling underneath the surface, and man, I’m tired.
I told my wife last night that I have to laugh at this stuff because the only alternative is to start shooting.
Fight or flight. Retreat from society or prepare to start using physical violence. They’re not leaving us too many other choices.
That’s exactly how I feel. I try to avoid it all but inevitably, like this weekend, a friend tells me that proof of Trump’s racism is when he said the KKK are good people.
I calmly said that he didn’t say that. She responds why am I defending trump. I say I’m not defending Trump I’m stating the truth. Then she says he said it and I’m just closed minded. Eventually i go on a rant about the media and nobody caring about the truth and she says why am I getting so mad.
Fast forward to waking up to a text from her that Trump said Andrew Jackson is magnificent which is more proof Trump is a racist. So I say he didn’t say that. He said the statue was magnificent.
I don’t want to spend any time defending him. I don’t see it as defending trump. I see it as defending truth and principles
why am I getting so mad
That sound kind of like
Bill Burr arguing with his girlfriend.
Funny but i got a barely coherent stuttering joe biden ad. If that’s the best he can do on an ad that probably had 10 takes there’s no chance he’ll be in a live debate
That’s the gaslighting that’s so exhausting to fight. Your friend wasn’t gaslighting you. She’s the one being gaslighted and you just can’t fight that.
I don’t see it as defending trump. I see it as defending truth and principles
You need to read this
Saying this as somebody who spent time living in North Carolina and has been to North Wilkesboro when it was still a NASCAR track. Also my father-in-law was at the race where Fireball Roberts crashed and died:
At this point very few people are still pursuing it. Yeah, Wallace still did it last night but he struck a different tone since, and most media has dropped it. I’d say it’s over for most. Like a 2 on the richter scale. You might feel a little shaking but it’s not going to hurt anyone.
Wallace’s interview with that clown Lemon was irritating, but his statement today is fine. If he just sticks with that line of thought about it, that’s fine by me.
What did he say today?
Weak. Very weak. Not relieved that the whole thing was a mistake/misunderstanding, relieved that it wasn’t targeted at him. Still implying there was something there, still referring to it as a noose later in the interview, still butthurt because a lot of people saw through it immediately.
No picture released. No acknowledgement that loops in garage door pulls have been photographed at Talladega for years. They are still lying and trying to gaslight us. His statement doesn’t change anything for me.
Yeah, me neither.
I hope Bubba never visits my house. We have two automatic garage door openers. They have releases for the doors. You pull a rope to release them. I didn’t like the plastic handles hanging down and banging on the tops of our cars, so I took them off and tied a loop in each one. It would, apparently, make the hair stand up on the back of his neck and be very “alerting”.
I hope he never goes anywhere with boats. It was a bowline.
He put out a statement that is mostly level-headed, which means the PR team got to him after that disastrous CNN interview.

“Sorry, not sorry.”
Between this, banning the confederate flag, and sending Kyle Larson packing, they’re basically running one big ad campaign for local dirt track racing. So it works for me.
This looks like a lot more fun than NASCAR right now.
I could be a NASCAR fan as I’m rapidly losing interest in every other pro sport. But they just sent up a giant signal that they are just as woke and shitty as the other leagues.
I’ve heard good things about WOO, but haven’t ever watched a race.
Something in the way it woos you?
It’s woo! Its woo its woo!
There was a similar type of track near where I grew up. Lots of fun. It’s a Stop & Shop now.
Has anyone asked this question yet, If you are trying to harass or threaten someone by leaving a noose, why would you use a “skinny” piece of rope and hang it on the side of a garage door? Wouldn’t you get a larger diameter rope and hang it in the center of the space, so it obvious and the first thing you see.
Personally, I don’t have a horse in this race so I don’t care beyond the media using it to foment discord.
You see, that is the perception that I was expecting everyone to have. The angle is not that one guy claim something happened. That’s just one dude.
The angle is that the media is using a lie to libel a large group of people in order to foment racial Discord.
I was wondering if anyone would see it that way. And I suspected that not nearly as many as I thought should would actually see it that way.
So, Tuesday.
Isn’t Discord a common carrier? Isn’t it illegal for them to make single-race groups?
A large group of people the left/elite loathes more than any other group of people on Earth.
While I could care less about the sport and don’t feel personally libeled, every single lie the media/left/whoever puts out sets me off because it is a deliberate attempt to undermine liberty. No matter how many times it happens or inured I become, it’s still fucking WRONG.
If ALL the shit that has hit the fan since the beginning of 2020 wasn’t still happening it would be a bigger deal. Right now it’s just adding to the pile of “this is how our 2nd civil war started”.
The problem with all of the second-civil-war talk is that, about a week into the secession, a substantial portion of those on one side will be sneaking across the border to do laundry at their parents’ house, find out what’s in the fridge, etc.
Akshually, the problem with any civil war is that there is no “border.”
As an individual incident, about a 2. As part of a larger pattern of the media jumping on bullshit stories to stoke tensions, about a 7. This crap isn’t leading to a good place.
And it seems that with all these, a picture could resolve the issue quickly. If it was a slipknot of some kind, it could conceivably be a noose. If it is a bowline or some other know that doesn’t close up, it’s for pulling down a door. It shouldn’t be that hard to show the picture.
Never heard of this particular outrage
What bugs me is that everybody there must have known they were just door pulls, but they still made a big deal about it. It reminds me of the recent incident with the “nooses” in the playground that turned out to be improvised swings — the person that put them up (a black person!) said hundreds and thousands of people must have seen them and didn’t think they were nooses. But someone had to somehow think they were put there to intimidate black people, and sounded the racist alarm. Same situation here.
The scary and depressing part is that a hell of a lot of people had to whistle right past “There might be an innocent explanation for this” and head straight for “Better demonstrate my wokeness before the mob comes for me.”
I’ve lived most of my life in Maryland, but my family is from Alabama. My grandfather moved up from Birmingham in the 50s to work for the then Department of Health in DC. Growing up, the theme in our extended family up here was that we’re Southerners who happen to live in Maryland, something my grandmother emphasized especially. Both my grandparents’ people fought for the Confederacy. One of my great somethings was allegedly so uncommonly tall that he had to have a bespoke cavalry uniform, and my grandfather’s cousin still has his saber, which supposedly still has “Yankee blood” on the blade that no one may ever wash off.
So, for me, it combined with the Confederate flag and taking down statues and so forth is probably an 8. It’s not my immediate life, and there are way more important things to think about, but unlike a lot of people around me we’re talking about people who are in pictures in my grandmother’s living room. These are people with headstones on family land down in the ‘Bama. No, it’s not my immediate family or my immediate culture, but it’s definitely my heritage and it’s definitely my ancestry. It cuts much closer to the bone for me because of that. It’s not just an academic question or something I read about in a high school history class, we’re talking about a lot of people with my last name in the CSA rolls.
Well said. I’m not from around here, but I’ve lived here most of my life. I don’t know how that happened, but it did. I will not disrespect the people whose lives are rooted in the south.
I’m not sure which annoys me more right now. Trump Derangement Syndrome or Trump Devotion Syndrome. Both are deadly and most people seem infected. That’s possibly why I’m so annoyed all the time. Or one of many reasons.
Actually I think what ignores me most right now is the left, for now. We’re in a world where not only is there no forgiveness for your actions, there can be no forgiveness for actions you took when they were accepted. And I’m not talking about Confederate statutes. Fuck those traitors. But anything anyone might have done more than, say, 10 years ago, that was acceptable then but unacceptable now, is enough to have the mob destroy your life. I don’t get it.
(mind you, the right will TRY to do that, but they’ll get bored before doing much of anything and rally around the next time Trump posts on Twitter about arresting people who burn the flag)
Complaining about cancel culture is an unpardonable sin. Please report to the re-education camp.
Can’t I just go through a struggle session?
Only if you wash your hands and wear a mask.
Of course you can. Where do you think you prepare for struggle sessions? At the re-education camp, of course!
As someone else said, woke leftism is a religion with inescapable original sin but absolutely no means for forgiveness or atonement.
Also, Confederates are yesterday’s news. Now they’re after non-slaveowning presidents, Union generals, abolitionists, and non-specific tributes to women’s sufferage. All of this proves emphatically that the statue frenzies have fuck all to do with George Floyd, racism, police brutality, etc. They are 100% about communist agitation to erase anything that is demonstrably American in pursuit of Year Zero.
^This, good thing for us they overstepped and ratcheted it up too quickly.
Did they? Where’s the blowback? All I see is mayors and governors doing nothing, statues coming down, and demands being met. What am I missing?
Exactly!
And what is wrong with these constituencies? I can’t get my head wrapped around a mayor that tells the police not to stop rioters from burning down businesses in the downtown area. How in the world does that guy not get run out of town on a rail?
That’s in certain states and in cities with shitbag mayors. I feel bad for the good people who are stuck in those particular places but I get the perhaps incorrect impression that people’s hearts have begun to harden against this nonsense in the more red areas of the country.
I’ll agree with all but the communist part.
I thought of this the other day. The people who agree with and defend everything Trump does, and the people who reflexively oppose anything Trump does, are all still puppets of Trump. They are basing their opinions on what another person thinks, and not thinking for themselves.
That’s 99% of the human race you just described.
This is why i blast the first few seconds of this everywhere i go.
Ahem, i’m going to make a bit of a critique here. I question that a group of people who want to leave the union are traitors. They are traitors because they lost. But likewise we could disparage any monument to Native Americans, Gauls, Britons, Celts, Angles, or any other conquered peoples because they opposed the ruling regime. The argument being that the CSA was peculiarly evil, even though the war was between two slave owning republics throughout it’s entirety.
+1
And, I object to the narrative that the Civil War was “only” about slavery and the Confederate flag is symbolic of same.
Just say “slavery”.
As usual, history is complicated* and the winner of the war gets to whitewash (heh…) the circumstances it. But sometimes leaves us with a catchy tune.
*I maintain that the entire principle of the US founding (secession) was destroyed when Lincoln pursued his war of control and tax-collection. The constitution does not grant the federal government the authority to prevent any state from leaving the union for any reason.
+1 Randy Quaid in Long Riders –

If the Civil war was only about slavery why were the slaves only freed long after the war began.
It’s almost like freeing the slaves was a tactic of war rather than the reason for war.
Rebels != traitors.
The vestiges of the Confederacy the wokesters and BLM are trying to eradicate were symbols of reconciliation after the Civil War. There is no reconciliation in them, so no wonder they either don’t get it, or get it and hate it.
It’s always been very selective. Remember that internet executive who go cancelled for being against gay marriage? Obama held the exact same position at the time.
The goal is to normalize the new definitions of racism, bigotry, etc. Anything that fits the current paradigm may be applied retroactively.
The Trump devotion is directly tied to the left going too far. The problem overall has been here way before Trump, some people just latched on to him as the solution. He has been pushing back too, just like he said he would. Part of the reason why his base gives him a pass on stuff they don’t like he does or says.
I still think the far left has much more planned before November and in my opinion it’s not going to work out like they think. I hope it all turns out positive.
That is where I am. I have never been a trump supporter, but somehow I keep getting pushed into being on his side by how ridiculous the other side is. And that seriously takes some doing.
If they had simply shut up and let him have enough rope to hang himself, he would have been done before the election. Instead, they keep running in front of him as he is trying to shoot himself in the foot and sticking their hands in the way of the bullet.
Isn’t there some pithy quote about never stopping your enemy from doing something stupid?
Pick one.
It’s not even close to equivalent. If you speak out against one side you will be fired and tarred and feathered and exiled from society. If you speak out against the other side you are awarded high social status and are called brave.
Exactly this.
We can only hope, that for a very brief moment, the deafening silence will happen in November. Then the wailing and violence may commence.
Which is a great piece of evidence as to who is more and who is less correct. Only a deliberate liar feels the need to forcibly silence those who dispute him.
The funny thing about hills and dying on them, is that it is always posed as “Why are you fighting over this, it doesn’t matter?”, but then isn’t that a two way street? If it doesn’t matter, then why are people pushing others where they feel like they have to die on that hill?
That the thing, both sides seem to be pushing each other to die on it.
I can easily imagine signs “No mask. No service.” at the entrance of each store in ten years. People still take off shoes at the airport and are prevented from transporting a bottle of wine in their carry-on.
People on the side fell for the panic bigly. They supported draconian measures imposed by the government. Because it was an extinction-level event and there would be piles of dead bodies on the streets without lockdowns. They don’t want to admit even to themselves that they were wrong. When everyone wears a mask–accedes to the dogma–they can continue telling themselves that the restrictions were justified.
I think we stop with the mask BS when a cop beats or shoots somebody and the only reason for the encounter was enforcing a mask mandate.
…but I’ve been wrong before.
We stop when the politicians realize no one is using them and enforcement is impossible, so they scurry back to the front of the parade and declare they’re no longer necessary.
We stop when people start robbing others with a mask on and the police realize it’s counterproductive.
You’re late to the game.
I’ve been trying to make the argument that under the current situation, there is fundamental value in saying “no” to whatever the latest petty tyranny is, independent of whatever that tyranny may be and how it may or may not affect you.
It’s a lack of people willing to say “no” that leads us to having to take our shoes off at the airport.
“This is for cooking oil. He was waiting for cooking oil.”
Cooking oil is important.
When I was in Cuba a few years ago, it was important then, too — and always in short supply. The typical family got a couple of litres/month, along with (barely enough) rice and beans. Pretty much nothing else. Not even spices (with the exception of salt and pepper). One of the things you could leave your housekeeper in your hotel room that would be really appreciated was cooking oil (which you, as a rich, capitalist, foreign, running-dog lackey could get in Cuba’s “parallel” economy because you had the magic CUC currency and, therefore, access to the “tourist” grocery stores). Other goodies that they couldn’t get and really liked: bar soap, deodorant, painkillers (ibuprofen, acetaminophen, aspirin, Aleve), fragrances, toothbrushes,/other toiletries, and some CUCs (they’re harder for native Cubans to use, but there are underground channels they can access).
Beautiful place, great people, utterly fucked-up “economy.”
While Cubans in Miami have a universe of wonderful, delicious food. If they could vote today who would the cubans elect? Another Castro?
Fuck communism. Fuck Antifa. Fuck BLM. Fuck the Democrats.

Cubans in Miami are the most reliably anti-communist people in the United States. There to the right of Pat Buchanan on this.

Now that’s the kind of in-depth analysis I have come to rely upon from CNN.
“New York cops will stop cars with out-of-state license plates and impose fines of up to $10,000 on anyone who doesn’t stick to 14-day quarantine after arriving in tri-state area from coronavirus hotspots
Anyone who travels to New York, New Jersey and Connecticut from states that are still seeing high coronavirus numbers will have to quarantine for 14 days.
The governors of each state announced the decision on Wednesday.
In New York, cops will stop cars with license plates from the affected states to ask the person why they are not quarantining and how long they have been in the state for.
The quarantine applies to any state with infection rate of 10 infections per 100,000 people on a seven day rolling average or 10 percent of the total population testing positive.”

She is quite affluent and lives in an affluent neighborhood and has a biracial grandchild. So of course she’s down with the struggle.
My “favorite” so far was from a lefty friend who compared the rioting and looting to Jesus clearing the money lenders from the Temple. The cognitive dissonance is strong with that one.
I’ve seen that one several times, as I have friends in the church (various and sundry denominations, even!), some of whom are lefties.
I think the story of Barabbas is more accurate but I am sure they wouldn’t understand why.
That is an excellent analogy! I would never have thought of it.
It was just like that! Except the moral of the story and not just purely righteous indignation of the situation. But yeah, just like Jesus (just make sure it was black Jesus and not the European Jesus).
“Libertarian” friend: “Yes!”

Tip off #1 should have been to ask “Why are you applying for this grant at our bank? We aren’t your regular bank and we don’t know your business.”
I don’t know that the person applied for the loan/grant at our credit union. It was the employee who was notified of an incoming $1 million dollar wire and noticed that the “business” account had a very low balance and/or activity. She took it straight to our resident Anti-Fraud Goddess, who got the ball rolling to have it investigated, as I understand it.
Anti-Fraud Goddess
I’d watch that show. Is it on Netflix, or Hulu?
The Goddess in question would be more to Tres’s taste, if you get my drift. She’s a sweetheart and passionate about protecting our institution and our members – especially our elderly members – from fraud and financial abuse. We’re lucky to have her on our team.

Back office. And she’s married. Sorry, Dude! ; )

Well no, but I was more stimulated by the Anti-Fraud superpower anyway.

Thanks, Señor!
Nice to see the Phoenix cops getting in on the totalitarian bandwagon. I guess that old piece of paper really is only good for asswipe now.
Inspired song choice! Old VH is great VH.
Like this!
Still one of the most amazing live bands I’ve ever seen.
You know what the bestest thing ever is about all this shit?

When the Karens and normies finally have enough, the cops are going to have SO MUCH MORE POWER than they did before it started. If you wanted a more militarized police force, I don’t know what you’d do differently than what the Left is doing.
Well they want a police state, and they will get it. It just won’t be the one they wanted.
Ugh, things like that are going to wreck the chances for meaningful reform of use of force policies and the like.
Who wants reform when there’s protest-larping to do?

Van Halen #FTW!
Yeah, I like this song. Sue me.
I was hoping it wasnt anything from 1984.
Me Wise Magic is meh…..
Its tough for me to pick a favorite, but this is in my top five.
That intro is beautiful and I love Spanish guitar.
Reminds me vaguely of “Mistral Wind”.
In the same ballpark, I do like some Van Hagar.
It has its place. I concur.
Since redheads were always my achille’s heel, this could be my favorite Hagar song. He can play the F out of a guitar.
Yep.
I like most of 5150. I can’t really name a song on it I will go to the trouble to skip if it comes on.
Wow. I like it too, and I realize I have not heard any VH in years. I sat outside under the deck a short while ago to enjoy the rain, and tried to make make myself listen to something I have not heard in years. It took a bit to come up with anything to listen to. That would have been great.
Nowadays, if someone comes up with something I really like, it’s a surprise. I’ve tended to hang onto my moldy oldies for the last few years.
For me I wonder if it’s because radio ruined music for people decades ago. I laughed at a letter someone once wrote to a local rock station. It was something to the effect(?) of “thanks for making me hate my favorite music”.
I’ve heard good things about WOO, but haven’t ever watched a race.

Question about mask enforcement, WA is requiring masks in public starting on June 26th. They are asking businesses to “enforce” the law. (I understand that private businesses can discriminate in specific ways about who is allowed on their property.) Let’s say an employee of a company thinks that the law is an infringement on the rights of individuals, but their employer asks them to act as an agent of the government to enforce the law (at least to the point of not allowing people entry), what should you do?
Unless the state is deputizing the entire citizenry, fuck all nothing.
When the state has shown a shocking willingness to hammer small businesses who dare flout the mandates?
No, if it’s my store, I put up a big sign that says I hate the masks, you hate the masks, but the pricks in the capitol want to shut me down. I appreciate your business, so I am offering a free mask and a 10% discount on your purchase until these shitheads come to their senses.
And then I would have a recall petition available for signatures.
I’ll play the mask game with gritted teeth, I just bought a pack for the first time today, but I’m really hoping no governor is dumb enough to try and re-institute lockdowns again (although I’m not optimistic about that – I think here in NC gyms are still closed, so they aren’t even completely out of lockdowns)
It boggles my mind that they passed muster to begin with – it boggles my mind even more that a judge wouldn’t look at the encouragement of the BLM protests, and declare them null.
I don’t know what the current Michigan status is, but last I read up on it a judge basically said the governor can declare an emergency for as long as she wants and there’s nothing the legislature can do about it. That also boggled my mind.
I am right there with you. For my wife, she is in complete “free association” mode and I am a libertarian guy in heaven. If her customers want her to wear a mask, she does, if they don’t care, she doesn’t. If she has elderly clients, which she does, she talks to them prior to find out what protections they want.
Most of our elderly clients JDGAF and they let us know in typical boomer fashion “I fought in Korea and it didn’t kill me, so why would I wear a damn mask now?”
She politely has let several clients go because they were all uppity that she wasn’t wearing the mask of Bane all the time when grooming their dogs.
If you fought in Korea, you’re not a Boomer. Unless you went to war at the age of 6.
/pedant
Oh I suspect NV is right on those heals with a similar order coming out today
I eagerly await the video of two yahoos who see a black man running unmasked in their neighborhood. Worse, they think it is the same guy who has entered several local businesses unmasked recently. So they attempt a citizen’s arrest and it goes badly. The two yahoos shoot the guy and he dies.
I’m sure all the Karens in the country will laud these conscientious enforcers of social distancing.
Wait, we’re going backwards now. philly supposedly opens inside bars and such around July 3. My job is allowing unfettered access to the office as of July 8. Only the Karenest of Karens are wearing masks outside.
They can’t go back, can they?
I shopped at the local Kroger this afternoon. I noticed a significant increase in mask wearing, as in 80% versus about 40% a week ago. I take this as a bad sign. I got some dirty looks too. That was new.
Now I *know* I’ve seen this one on pornhub.

Wisconsin idiots get in on statue toppling stupidity.
Well now you are infringing on my heritage! I guess the media will just keep lying to the people and say he was a racist or some such. Gaslighting indeed
I don’t know. From reviewing the article, the Forward statue had long been a lefty favorite. Now the mob they’ve unleashed has turned on them.
spot the not: controversial sculptures
1. statue of a naked pioneer family where the woman was not wearing a wedding ring
2. statue of a burly naked man standing on top of naked women
3. statue of a king was which was melted down and made into bullets by his enemies
4. statue of a slaveowner who burned 77 people alive
5. statue of a notorious, mass-murdering henchman of a dictator
6. statue of a slave, pirate, slave trader, and independence fighter
5. Sounds too much like Che. That’s my guess for the not controversial sculpture.

an interesting take:
***
“These statues are a part of the history of Hungary. Dictatorships chip away at and plaster over their past in order to get rid of all memories of previous ages. Democracy is the only regime that is prepared to accept that our past with all the dead ends is still ours; we should get to know it, analyse it and think about it!
All of the statues, therefore, were positioned according to the original sculptural and architectural plans. This park is not about the statues or the sculptors, but a critique of the ideology that used these statues as symbols of authority.
I realised that if I made this park with more direct, drastic and real tools, as many thought I should, I would create an anti-propaganda park from these propaganda statues and in doing this, I would be faithfully following the same recipe and mentality that we inherited from dictatorship.” — Ákos Eleőd, architect
***
He was speaking about Memento Park, which was set aside for communist statues.
***
A quote by the architect on the project: “This park is about dictatorship. And at the same time, because it can be talked about, described, built, this park is about democracy. After all, only democracy is able to give the opportunity to let us think freely about dictatorship.”[1]
Memento Park is divided into two sections: Statue Park, officially named “A Sentence About Tyranny” Park after a poem of the same name by Gyula Illyés, and laid out as 6 oval sections; and Witness Square (also called “Neverwas Square”), which lies east of the main park entrance and is visible without payment. Statue Park houses 42 of the statues/monuments that were removed from Budapest after the fall of communism.[1] Witness Square holds a replica of Stalin’s Boots which became a symbol of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 after the statue of Stalin was pulled down from its pedestal in 1956, and is flanked by two single storey timber structures housing the internal exhibition space, their design being evocative of simple internment camp buildings.

One Sentence On Tyranny – Hungarian recitation by author: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSUKMkJc3tE
The nature of the Hungarian language is such that it is possible for one word to express a long phrase, and so several of these very long words can count as a sentence.

ONE SENTENCE ABOUT TYRANNY
Translated from Hungarian by Andris Heks
‘Where there is tyranny,
there is tyranny,
not just in the barrel of the gun,
not just in prisons,
not only in the interrogation rooms,
not just in the guard’s word
shouted at night,
there is tyranny
not only in the smoke-dark
streaming charge of the prosecutor,
in the admission,
in the prisoners’ wall tapped Morse signals,
not just in the judge’s chilling
verdict: guilty!-
there is tyranny,
not only in the marshal’s bark:
‘attention’,
‘fire!’, in the drumming,
and in the manner of pulling the corpse
into the pit,
not just
in the secret news
anxiously whispered
through a half opened door,
in the ‘sh’of the finger sealing the mouth:
‘don’t move!’
where there is tyranny,
there is tyranny
not just in the iron hard
facial feature
and in that iron, in the already wordless
struggling scream,
in the silence
boosting dumb
shower of tears;
in the bulging eye,
there is tyranny,
not only in the ‘on-your-feet’
blared ‘long live-s’,
‘hurrays’, songs;
where there is tyranny ,
there is tyranny,
not just in the unremitting
clapping hands,
in the opera, in the trumpeting,
in the just as hypocritically cheering stone monuments,
in colours, in galleries, separately in every frame,
already in the painter’s brush;
not only in the noise of the softly gliding
car in the night,
and in that:
it pulled up at the gate,
it is there as you say ‘hello’
and you sense
through the silence of the receiver,
that a stranger is eavesdropping;
not only the wriggling
strangling of the phone wire of the Laocoon mode*:
train, aeroplane, track,
distaff, rope,
for tyranny
is presently there,
in every single thing,
as not even your old god could have been able to;
there is tyranny in the kindergartens,
in father’s advice,
in mother’s smile,
in how the child replies to a stranger;
not only in the barbed wire,
not just in the slogans in book lines
which are even more stultifying
than the barbed wire;
it is there
in the parting kisses,
in the way the wife asks:
when will you be back dear?
in the street,
in the routinely repeated how-are you-s,
in the handshake
that suddenly loosens,
and as instantly
your lover’s face freezes,
because tyranny is there
at your date,
not only in the interrogation,
it is there in the confession,
in the sweet word’s ecstasy,
like a fly in the wine,
because even in your dreams
you are not left alone,
it is in your bridal bed,
before that, in the desire,
for you will deem beautiful
only that which it already possessed once;
it was tyranny you lay with,
when you thought you loved,
on the plate and in the glass,
it is there in the nose, the mouth,
in cold and in twilight,
outside and in your room,
as if through the open window,
the putrid stench flooded in,
as if somewhere in the house
there was a gas leak,
if you talk to yourself,
it is tyranny that questions you;
even in your imagination
you are not independent,
even the Milky Way above is different:
it is a border zone, scoured by beams,
a minefield, the star:
it is a spying window,
the teeming sky canopy:
it is just one labour camp;
for tyranny speaks from fever, from the tolling bell,
out of the priest’s confessionals,
from the sermon,
the church, the parliament, the torture rack:
all are but its stages;
whether you open or close your eyes,
tyranny is looking at you;
as disease,
it accompanies you, like a souvenir;
you hear it in the rattle of the train wheel:
‘prisoner, you are a prisoner’,
on the mountain and beside the sea
it is this that you inhale;
in the zigzags of the lightening,
it is in every unexpected
noise, light,
in the startled heart;
in rest,
in shackled boredom,
in pouring rain,
in sky high bars,
in the cell-wall-white
entrapping snowfall;
it looks at you
through the eyes of your dog,
and because it is there in every goal,
it is there in your tomorrow,
in your thought,
in your every movement;
as water cleaves its bed,
you follow and create it;
peek out from this circle?
it is tyranny that looks back at you from the mirror,
it is tyranny that watches; to try to run away would be in vain,
you are at once a captive and the captor;
it impregnates your tobacco’s aroma,
your clothes’ fabric;
it penetrates you
to the marrow;
you would like to think,
but only its thoughts come to your mind,
you would like to look, but you can only see
what it conjured up for you
and already forest fire surrounds you,
fanned into flame by the matchstick
that you threw down
without stamping it out;
and it also guards you,
in the factory, in the field, at home
and you no longer feel, what it is like to live,
what is meat and bread,
what it is to love, to wish,
to open your arms wide,
this is how the slave
himself forges his fetters and wears them;
if you eat it is tyranny you nourish,
you beget your child for it,
where there is tyranny,
everyone is a link in the chain;
its stench emanates and spreads from you,
you too are tyranny;
for it is already because of you
that your child stiffens into spitefulness,
and your wife, swaying in your lap,
turns into a whore;
like a mole in the sunshine,
we walk in blind darkness
and we fidget in our room
that is like the Sahara;
for where there is tyranny,
all is in vain,
this ode too,
any work,
no matter how true,
because from the first,
tyranny stands there at your grave,
it decides who you were
and even your ashes serve it.

4 is the Not. While Isaac Royall was a slaveholder who ordered 77 slaves to be burned at the stake and later his coat of arms was incorporated into the seal of Harvard Law School, there are no statues of him. Harvard Law School remove his coat of arms from their seal in 2016.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Royall_Jr.
***
Royall fled to Nova Scotia three days before the Battle of Lexington. He wrote to his friend Simon Tufts with instructions to sell slaves to raise money for his exile in London. In the same will that granted lands to Harvard, he offered emancipation to his slave Belinda (later, Belinda Sutton, freedwoman), promising to pay her support. She had to petition the Massachusetts legislature six times to receive her due.
Harvard Law professor and United States Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story praised Parker – the first Royall Professor – as “a mind with sufficient knowledge of the old law [who] was yet not a slave to its forms” – as the “free spirit” needed to teach law for a newly free country. But law had a dual role in the world shared by Parker, Story and Belinda Sutton, emancipating some while enslaving others. Sutton’s first petition, submitted during the Revolution, observed that leaders of the breakaway colony sought for themselves “that freedom which the Almighty Father intended for all the human race,” while “by the Laws of the Land [she was] denied the employment of one morsel of that immense wealth, apart whereof hath been accumulated by her own industry, and the whole augmented by her servitude.”
– Janet Halley, Royall Professor of Law, Harvard Law School

I’m pretty sure Charles Tufts, founder of Tufts University, was a descendant of Simon Tufts.
The reals in order are the Pioneer Woman’s Statue, Civic Virtue (the burly man is virtue and the women are vice), the old NYC statue of King George III, the Lubyanka statue of Felix Dzerzhinsky , and Piet Pieterszoon Hein.

When did you first notice these symptoms?
Joey Rodolfo, the owner of a clothing store in Seattle, Wash., told “Fox & Friends” that he plans to move out of the state, citing “no leadership” and a “socialist” city council as reasons for his decision.
Rodolfo, the co-founder of Buki clothing, made the comments as authorities in Seattle are making preparations to retake the Capitol Hill Organized Protest zone, or CHOP, after several shootings and a number of other crimes have been reported in what protestors have declared a “cop-free zone.”
Demonstrators moved in and occupied the neighborhood on June 8 after police pulled out of their East Precinct building following more than a week of protests over the death in Minneapolis of George Floyd, some of which grew violent. Floyd died while in police custody.
On Monday, Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan announced the city will move to end the police-free zone after two recent shootings, one of which was deadly.
“I will tell you what’s currently happening in Seattle,” Rodolfo said on Wednesday. “We have people in leadership positions where we have no leader.
Oh, come on. That’s crazy.

Oh goody! Minnesoda is going to come out with another model for the Corona Virus. This time it will be used to show us how bad the second wave will be.
Why doesn’t the GOP stop hating SCIENCE? Why do they have to make things so political all the time? And poor Gov Walz being pushed into issuing those lockdown orders (and keeping them in place so long).
What is funny is that our most recent model that was issued in the beginning of May predicted 1400 deaths by the end of May. Actual deaths? 1000. But I guess that is better than the original model that was predicting 20K.
I have noticed there has been absolute silence about models and studies lately and only “fringe” media outlets are running them. I suspect because it is showing that this is 1)contagious and 2)mostly mild symptoms
Hell there was a new study out of France about school aged children and their ability to spread (or in this case, not spread) the disease. Ignored. Doesn’t fit the narrative. Your kid will be in cell block B this year, here is their new digs.
Is that fuckwit Limmer planning on doing anything?
“We will now demonstrate how bad the second wave will be with our model, which assumes the second wave will be bad.”
SCIENCE!

My neighbourhood park currently contains a Little League team at practice, a group tennis lesson, and some other team running wind sprints. The athletic field at the school next door has half a dozen soccer and football players doing drills.

INANAL and don’t play one on TV, but… Wouldn’t you need to have a residence in Vermont to do that? Granted, there are ways to accomplish that cheaply, particularly if you know somebody who lives there and is willing to write up a contract showing that you are renting a room in their residence.

I got outbid for an ugly gun with a few minutes left on GB. I refuse to get into a bidding war for an APX carry.
Smart move. I got outbid on a collection of SKS parts – mostly because that included a blade bayonet which seem to have appreciated more than any utility but I couldn’t see spending so much just for the parts I wanted.
I’m pretty sure I was bidding against the seller or a proxy of his – just trying to get the price up to the market rate.
I try to go in with a max price in mind.
June has been crazy, lots of NR rated peeps with new accounts bidding stuff above msrp.
I had a max price in mind just for the items I needed. When the bidding started creeping up to that I weighed the idea of going higher and selling the bayonet later to recoup (which would have more than paid for the venture – given the prices those are going for when you can find one) but figured it wasn’t worth the work involved.
Get a PX4 instead. Way better.

It’s magazine fed and has gotten good reviews on several sites. Seems really cheap though.

They work, which is more than you can say for most magazine-fed shotguns.
They have all the handling aplomb of a 4-foot length of fence post.
