Yes. Yes I am.
I’m gonna need to see a video before I decide whether to be offended or not. OK, I watched a video and I’m not offended.Hell, I remember when SNL used to do the “baseball been berry berry good to me” skit. And nobody got offended. Elsewhere, somebody on the A’s got drilled and went to the hospital. The Dodgers are in Pittsburgh so their fans aren’t attacking anybody (at the stadium anyway), the Astros are sliding but thankfully so are the aforementioned A’s. The Yankees took two from the Red Sox and are now tied with them in the WC race. and the White Sox are a freaking juggernaut in the AL Central. Oh, and football season is almost here. And that’s sports.
Seems legit
Big birthdays today are little-known composer (until a few decades ago) Antonio Salieri, explorer Meriwether Lewis, Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz Joseph I, cosmetics magnate Max Factor, pitcher Max Lanier, actress Shelley Winters, racist baseball team owner Marge Schott, filmmaker and pederast Roman Polanski, legendary outfielder Roberto Clemente, athlete Rafer Johnson, actor Robert Redford, actor/dancer Patrick Swayze, comedian Denis Leary, “Gleaming The Cube” star Christian Slater, actor Edward Norton, and football coach Luke Fickell.
Right-o, now on to…the links!

But wait, I thought the Taliban were supposed to be like the MAGA folks. This looks more like an Antifa/BLM move to me.
Cry more. I have an idea…let’s have the courts decide. Actually, that might not work out well, since they’ve persistently abdicated their responsibility to uphold individual rights and slap down obviously unconstitutional executive overreaches.
I’ll go one better than this recommendation. I won’t get it at all. Or the two before that. You know why? Because these idiots are making this all up as they go along.
Kiwis line up for their vaccines
I can’t believe this used to be tabbed as a potential libertarian escape destination. Is it because of its remoteness? Or perhaps because the overlap between libertarians and Lord Of The Rings nerds is so large?
Cuomo pardoning a bunch of people on his way out the door. I assume the political pardons will come in the next few days.
This was bound to happen sooner or later. Hopefully somebody pins him with the Medal Of Freedom some day.
She needs to change her name to “Climate Change”. In fact, so do a shitload of other people. You know, since basically all of these fires are arson or negligence on the part of PG&E. Then the narrative won’t be so ridiculous.
This is the part when the “compassionate, loving” leftists come out and say “I hope he dies”. Oh wait, that’s been going on for a year and a half already.
Enjoy some greatness. Or I suppose you can listen to a better cover version. Either way, that song never made it all the way through a Jr High dance without a teacher pulling the plug on it.
Now get out there and have a great day, dear friends!
OK, I watched a video and I’m not offended – you need diversity training
The offense should be that he didn’t pronounce his name with a proper Japanese accent.
Then he’d be guilty of cultural appropriation.
“That’s our accent, shitlord!”
It’s kind of mindblowing that Cuomo’s resignation was just last week. It feels like we’ve had a year of news in a week.
OT already, but I am absolutely at the edge of my seat waiting to see what glory awaits us in today’s Joemala.
Joemala is always on topic, db. I’m wankering in anticipation.
Cranking the hog is always an acceptable move.
It fixes what ails ya, apparently.
Yeah but the wife gets a little irritated when you do it at family functions… or so I’ve heard.

One of the funniest memes out there is a pic of the Fellowship of The Ring members with the caption “Government of New Zealand”….
I bet they wish that joke was true considering their current government has much more in common with Sauron.
It wasn’t really that many years ago that NZ had a libertarianish/conservative govt. It seems like forever of course, and it was an aberration politically speaking. If this is the backlash to that, oy!
While I don’t know exactly how it fell apart, I assume that the more libertarian government by the act of saving the budget from collapse created a “surplus” that the leftists saw as an opportunity to spend. In effect, the lesson is that it may be better to let it collapse in order to drive the message home.
Yep.
Back pre-9/11, I recall something about NZ kicking a bunch of socialists out of national office and instituting a raft of free-market reforms. That may have had something to do with it.
My primary bug-out location is Costa Rica. So far as I know it hasn’t descended into complete madness.
My contingency is one of several South Pacific islands where the government is just a couple of tribal elders.
I think it’s the sheepfucking.
“How’s the nightlife in NZ?”
“Not baaaaaaaahd.”

The R-value in Florida is already back under 1. Delta is over in those parts of the country (it may ramp up in others as seasons change.)
No way thats true. Ron Desantis is literally murdering people down there.
Sweet, freaking Jesus. He’s like heroin to these media dopes. – well they need the ratings
I can’t believe this used to be tabbed as a potential libertarian escape destination. Is it because of its remoteness? Or perhaps because the overlap between libertarians and Lord Of The Rings nerds is so large? – I did not know it was an escape destination outside the possible post apocalypse. It is remote has good climate and pretty landscapes and not that much population density. Maybe libertarians can band together and buy the south island.
I distinctly remember a lot of libertarian people saying the government there makes for a good bug out destination.
But that was before they had one shooting and most of the people turned in their guns (and their balls) when the government took away their rights.
but even before guns were limited, the government was pretty large etc
I know. That’s why the love of it is a mystery to me. That’s why I think it’s more because of LOTR than any real reason.
NZ had one too? I remember Oz did (about 25 years ago?).
That accent, anyway (thet excent?). Oy.
Yeah, it was pretty extensive.
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/20/world/australia/new-zealand-gun-ban.html
Oh yis; thet one. /blushes
If I remember correctly, New Zealand before that ban was somewhat relaxed about guns. The gun laws were worse than in America, but by world standards, were pretty relaxed. Police in NZ even lobbied for ending gun registration.
Then that ban happened.
It took me a bit to get my ear tuned to the NZ accent, I kept on hearing Australian or South African.
“fush and chups”
SA sounds to me antipodean but with a slight Dutch accent.
Makes the islands ripe for conquest by an armed band, I guess.
The CCP might actually get a win if invading NZ. They would have far better luck there than in Taiwan.
The Kiwi military isn’t even a fraction as effective and deadly as the Taiwanese one, but that is because the Kiwis expect to call on Gandalf and the Fellowship of the Ring if there is trouble and the CCP doesn’t care for that since they have Sauron’s dad on their side…
Eru Iluvatar?
Nobody has ever read that book to find out.
I recall this too, but always wondered WTF they were thinking. The globalist, pro-authoritarian, liberal-friendly ultra rich didn’t choose that destination to build their Armageddon bugout compounds in Kiwiland because they felt the place had a government friendly to liberty minded folk, but because they liked the authoritarian bend of the place (they, because of their wealth, would have the means to protect their compounds from the rabble, while the rabble would be compliant sheeple).
Are they fucking serious with this shit? I saw Australia get busy with some internment camp construction. These facilities have 500 beds, expandable to 1000 and look kinda permanent to me. Once a penal colony, always a penal colony I guess.
Cuckstralia.
What the fuck happened to the spirit of Crocodile Dundee? I guess his Sheila cut off his balls.
It’s been straight down hill since Irwin died.
A colony of penisis.

So you are saying Alex Jones was right.
It was way up at the top of some list for most economic freedom a while back. Various “smart” people expressed interest in it at the time.
It made sense until you checked into their system of government and realized there’s no reference founding documents that have any teeth. Like most parliamentary systems, it’s anything goes as long as you can hold a coalition. Nothing guarantees the citizens any protection against their liberties being raided if it’s popular enough.
Kinda like here, then?
you got there first
At least we’re armed. Whether or not that means anything has yet to be seen.
I think it does. The bottom line of all the laws, judgments, and so on is the will of the people to back them, and that does stem from a belief in our founding documents.
There is a whole shitload of things that the proggies would love to do, and getting rid of guns is highest on that list, but when over half the country is armed to the teeth and believes that is their absolute right it is very hard to do more than nibble at the baseline. And, yes I know that a whole lot of damage has been done to the principles over the years, but I take great solace in the ever-expanding rights of gun ownership we have seen since the abomination of the AWB.
You beat me to it.
Someone else posted here, a few days ago, something I’ve started thinking about. Something along the lines of: “It would be better if we didn’t have a Constitution because then people wouldn’t waste time thinking it matters.”
And of course here in a Constitutional republic, it all hangs on how much respect anyone has for the principles of the founding documents–they have been reinterpreted so as to have little meaning or force any more.
It seems more and more that if it weren’t for bill of right absolutists in this country we would be the same. And even our piece of paper is looking rather flimsy.
Yeah, look how rapidly support for the First Amendment has been eroded only in the last four years.
The 1A only protects approved speech.
The First has been under attack for a long time. Campaign Finance Reform, permits for gatherings, the equal time rules, shouting fire in a crowded theater (how that got stuck in the public mind I have no fucking idea)…
Yes, that is true, but the scope of the attacks has widened recently to include unpopular speech to a degree not seen before, IMO. The discussion over censorship of “fake news” and divisive speech is, if not entirely new, more dangerous.
db:
It’s the same thing, just with a different front of attack. There were some rumblings a couple (thinks about it… shit… 10-15) years ago wanting to bring back the equal time rules for the internet. So, publish a “right-wing” opinion piece (or news article judged to be “right-wing”), and you would either need to link or have the opposing viewpoint on the same page.
The Fairness Doctrine push was targeted more at talk radio than print or internet.
It was targeted at one guy that the leftist cabal considered to be hype-destructive to their brainwashing efforts: Rush Limbaugh
Alien and Sedition Acts…right out the gate by one of the staunches advocates of personal freedom.
I think there is a significant difference between the fairness doctrine, which would require opposing points of view to be published (and was certainly unconstitutional), and the practice of simply censoring or memory-holing one disfavored side only.
Another main difference is that it’s not being done by government regulation, but by private entities that control the medium of communication.
Under a fascist state, the government colludes with what passes for private sector to pick winners & losers. Winners usually also volunteer to do the things government wants to do but knows would be problematic because they give away the fact that the state is totalitarian.
That’s what you are seeing going on now here in our country…
OBE – the Federalists were not staunch advocates of individual liberty.
I was specifically referring to Adams prior to the creation of the Constitution of course. They all fell apart afterwards once they knew the power structure they needed to operate in.
Yes it is hard to escape the conclusion that we are living under fascism, and have been for some time now.
A big country that’s very sparsely populated in some areas. I thought the idea was that you could live far enough away from others to be left alone.
I still wonder if they are sending cops out to remote farms to scold them about covid.
The myth was created because they straightened out their budget back in the 90’s as they were going broke.
It’s also pretty.
Good Morning all:
Is it me, or is the crap accelerating?
The answer is “Yes”!”…
IMO, it feels more like a rubber band stretching than a car accelerating. I’m just wondering what’s gonna happen when the band snaps back.
We are as prepared as anyone could be, meaning the Glibs, and saw this coming, Here’s hoping.

Heh. Once, I rebuilt my engine in my 1966 XLCH. They are notoriously hard to start. I kicked it for two full days and just couldn’t get it to go. Eventually, I got a friend to help tow start it with his ’69 Country Squire wagon. We tied a rope around the bumper and then wrapped it around the handlebar, so I could let go easily. Took a run down the street and it almost started. I told to go a bit faster the next time. He did. When I dumped the clutch and jumped down on the seat, I heard a loud cartoon like “peeetooo!” noise and the rope broke. I sat on the seat and watched a fist sized not waver left and right at high speed until it finally smacked me right in the nose. Blood came pouring out and I had two dark black eyes for weeks after. Never tried that again
It could have been worse.
50 years ago at CP the Brady Bunch kids could have been maimed or worse, if not for a dry run with the camera.
50 years ago at CP the Brady Bunch kids could have been maimed or worse, if not for a dry run with the camera. “Ooh, look at ‘er fly!”
(“Cannot parse response”? That’s a new one.)
? sigh. I can take a hint.
They were at Kings Island.
There’s a reason sailors get pretty antsy when handling lines.
I was always of the understanding that the “CH” in “XLCH” stands for “Charlie Horse.”
I wish I had a video of it, but in 1993? we used a tank sized ‘kinetic recovery rope’ to un-stick a mired M1 with two other M1s.
A ‘kinetic recovery rope’ is like a giant rubber band.
A tank sized version was about 5″ in diameter.
When the tow hook disintegrated, it was like an gunshot. apparently someone remembered their safety training and had the hook on upside down, so that when it failed the cable snapped downward, because two 70 ton vehicles pulling on another with 3000 hp is a lot of kinetic energy to release.
Very rapidly. I have to decide between a shot in the arm or a job in the next couple of weeks.
No jab, no job for Yusef, I’m hangin’ on, so far.
I posted this in the dead thread:
Imagine being that guy.
I read that, infuriating. I hope those Nazi doctors get sued for every last bit of malpractice insurance they have. None of these fucks would doing this evil shit if Biden hadn’t stolen the presidency. This is all just shoring up support for the leftist religion. Killing people in the process.
Our employers haven’t gone that far yet. My wife and I decided that if they do, the answer is “no”.
I want to do just that, but I don’t think I can. It wouldn’t be fair to my wife and kid. I might take the med exemption. I wish I was young and single, I’d refuse and let them fire me without hesitation. It’d make an excellent test case. I’m thinking that if I do get a shot, I might refuse the consent form. See how that flies. Probably have to sign it and add “under duress” after my sig.
I want to do just that, but I don’t think I can. It wouldn’t be fair to my wife and kid.
Been there thought that. However, I’ll encourage you to hold out if you can. There are worse things than a few weeks/months of hardship as you look for a new job after making a stand on principle.
I’m blessed to have more run up to the inevitable vax mandate, so we’re doing everything we can to prepare ahead of time. These people are evil for forcing you, on short notice, to choose between medical autonomy and livelihood.
I am in the same boat. Just told to report status or get fired. I think pretty much every one here will get that ultimatum in the coming months. I can’t just quit. Even if I did, unless I opened a lawn service there is no getting away from it.
I believe this is coming for me too and reporting unvaxed isn’t an option unless I want to kneecap my career. I’m putting out feelers now for a pharm tech who could use a wad of 100s.
Mine is bribing people to get the poke. The initiative seems a bit half-hearted. Hopefully, it will go away.
I got the J&J, no adverse effects for me. It wasn’t required, but I was willing to do that for the promise of returning to normal.
Now that Lucy pulled that football away, I will break the nose of anyone telling me I should/must get a booster.
You cant just choose to get tested every week?
Based on the motions, school districts in Alachua and Broward counties could face possible loss of funding, removal of local officials and further action…
“Could,” but we all know they won’t.
Does anyone know whether the state distributes these funds quarterly, in a single annual payment, or what? While common superstition has it that most school funding is local, it’s not; federal and state funds are a huge chunk of their operating budgets.
Wouldn’t that funding vary based on state and even local politics? Cause I remember the chunk of state money my kid’s school got in “The Democratic People’s Republic of Connecticut” was minimal compared to the total budget (because it was not a big city minority institution run more like a daytime juvy facility).
I saw a news story a few days ago that DeSantis was backing down on fining school officials for requiring masks.
I sincerely apologize if I offended anybody
You pussy.
Oh, c’mon. Marge wasnt a racist. Just cause she happened to collect nazi memorabilia. And used the n-word. And phrases like “million-dollar-monkey”.
Hell, Bill Cunningham still kisses her ass.
Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Tuesday that he was concerned that then-President Donald Trump “undermined” the US’ 2020 agreement with the Taliban by pushing for US forces to leave Afghanistan without the Taliban meeting the conditions of the deal.
I believe part of the deal was “we will withdraw by this date and we will reign hellfire on you if you violate the terms to which you have agreed.”
Note that Biden’s team of adults broke both of those agreement components….
They moved the date so Biden’s admin could claim it was his victory, then when the whole thing went as badly as even the worst imagined scenario couldn’t go, they did nothing to back up the “we will reign hellfire on you” part of the deal.
???
Denying Trump the victory was more important than not fucking up the withdrawal.
Abandoning Bagram airfield made no sense.
It does if you understand that not abandoning it would have shown that they were well aware that they couldn’t trust that Afghani government they told everyone was ready when it was just all a sham.
The bad part is how easy it would’ve been to enforce with the columns of Taliban cruising through the desert. A few Apaches and Warthogs could’ve cleaned up.
The fact that this didn’t happen tells you everything you need to know about what the mandarinate’s priorities was…
They were worried doing this would result in some kind of blunder that would hurt their efforts to get positive TeeVee time. Then the shit went horribly wrong anyway.
And after we broke our end of the deal, they said “Fuck it. Let’s rumble”.
“I’ll go one better than this recommendation. I won’t get it at all. Or the two before that. You know why? Because these idiots are making this all up as they go along.”
How much of this shitshow is the globalists power-mongering cabal desperate to keep the pace of societal reset they started after they realized the CCP Virus was not as seriously deadly as they were afraid it was when it became obvious it had escaped a bioweapons lab going on for as long as they can since too many of the fucking unwashed masses have somehow been red pilled and have seen through the whole Kabuki theatre dance?
Isn’t it funny how sane Alex Jones seems nowadays?
It’s not just Jones. So many people that called out the dystopian changes and where they were leading us were ridiculed only for us to see the insane shit they said wouild happen become reality, and in just a few years…
This shit is nuttier than squirrel poop.
She needs to change her name to “Climate Change”. – look it was a very hot summer in Bucharest so Climate Change must be real catastrophic and human generated
Typical news fail. No pix of her nor the bikini.
I guessing that’s for the best.
OT but thanks to Sean for reposting our very own OZY speaking truth to power. I wish it had been long-form rather than a snippet. She had questions and he had much more to say.
She’s an old colleague and friend – she may not look it, but she was a Marine Captain and did a tour in Afghanistan.
Good attorney, too.
Awesome! I read your all your posts to this site. You are one more reason that I can’t quit you.
Whaaaaaaa? I’ve been on multiple deadlines and haven’t kept up. What did I miss?
Morning links yesterday. About halfway down. It’s good but too damn short.
Doesn’t appear to be there
Here.
Thanks!
Thanks y’all. And awesome.
This needs to be shouted from the rooftops instead of being completely ignored by TMITE.
If I were in charge of the Republican party, I would make impeachment of judges (at all levels) the primary activity for the first year of any congress.
If I were in charge, we’d have been continuously filing impeachment articles against both Kamala And Biden from the minute they were sworn in. Pelosi, Schiff and Schumer too. Just non stop.
You best join straff in the an-cap corner, you have no business even attempting to run the govt. But you love you some political theater.
I consider myself a minarchist. It just seems like letting the dems repeated and blatant false impeachments go unanswered is foolish. Especially when actual impeachment is likely justified. The R’s are carefully aligning the facts to result in what they crave most. Lot’s of losing.
You don’t show how stupid and foolish their actions were by repeating them. Honestly.
Yeah, the “high road” approach has reaped so many gains for the stupid party.
The stupid party doesn’t really take the high road, I’ll grant you that. They keep trying to fill the potholes in the road to hell the Dems are busy creating.
But a death spiral of tit-for-tat is only good for burning down the whole thing. Sometimes I see the appeal in that, but then I think a little more of what is likely to come from that.
All the impeachment drama during Trump’s term caused a huge slow down of progress on his agenda. So much time and effort used by it. It also gave the dems many opportunities to broadcast negative lies about him loudly and repeatedly. They knew he wasn’t getting kicked out of office, they wanted those things and to permanently stain his name. It worked. The R’s should learn from that and do the same. It’d work even better, because the new guy is actually guilty.
Come on J.I. Sometimes it just feels good to break some asshole’s nose. Especially when he’s been hitting on your other…
blackjack, you’re problem isn’t just with Dem politicians – it’s with the voters that vote for them. You want to kill them all and let God sort them out?
No. The game is what it is. The whole system is designed to make it difficult by pitting one side against the other. What sense does it make to take the hit when one side does it and then allow them to steamroll over you when the tables turn? None. I would prefer if both parties had celebrity death matches non-stop and were unable to get any “legislating” done. Further, I honestly don’t believe that Biden won fair and square.
*Grunts and dons Colors* I’m on BJ’s side just because he grew up the same way I did and he’s right.
Biden may not have won fair and square, but there were still millions that voted for him, and your reaction to them is exactly the same as the reaction of “them” to the millions that voted for Trump.
We’re stuck with ALL of the assholes in this country as neighbors. So we better all figure out how to live together or alternatively, we better be heartless fucking killers of those who won’t leave well enough alone. There are as many Republicans just as bad at that as there are Democrats.
JI, I don’t understand how you can arrive at that conclusion from anything I said. I’m talking about strategy in a two party system which is deigned to have each party thwart the other in hopes of reducing the damage either can do. I’m not even a Republican. I’m just making my suggestion as to what they should do. I’m perfectly willing to live next to anyone who’s willing to respect my rights. Neither party actually is. I hate the action of violating people’s inherent rights, no matter who does it.
It’s called, in Game Theory, a Prisoners Dilemma. Basically, if all the prisoners stick together, the wardens cannot break them. If just one defects, the whole thing crumbles. So, how do you police this if you are one of the prisoners?
Subject the defector to the same punishment you received. It has to be one for one. That is the only way to stop defections. Blackjack is absolutely right, standing on metaphorical higher ground will get you nothing in return.
Yes, millions voted for Biden, but the same is true for Trump. Why should they get the short end of the stick? So that the supposed leaders can feel smug and superior? No. Those guys are there for no other reason than to support the people who voted for them. That’s it.
And while, yes, we are stuck with the assholes for neighbors, they are stuck with us. Never forget that.
And government has no business running me, so we’re even.
C’mon, we’re not arguing that.
If we want to burn it all down – sure go for acting EXACTLY LIKE the Dems. I seem to recall something along those lines.
I am increasingly amenable to crashing this government with no survivors. The people? They can choose for themselves if they want to live.
This looks more like an Antifa/BLM move to me.
C’mon, man. Antifa is just an idea.
“This looks more like an Antifa/BLM move”, only the Taliban are better dressed
Yup. Especially considering how many of his cronies are doing time for him.
It’s obviously coming. Once we get past Labor Day, blue states will start lockdowns, masks, and the whole thing again. And they’ll try some new oppressive power grabs just to see what they can get away with.
I recommend you read this commentary by an active duty general and especially this shit:
“However, most of the blame belongs to the leadership of the US military, and the Army in particular. The Washington Post’s “Afghanistan Papers” detailed years of US officials failing to tell the truth about the war in Afghanistan, “making rosy pronouncements they knew to be false and hiding unmistakable evidence the war had become unwinnable.” That report was two years ago, and the stories within it began more than a decade before that. Afghanistan was, and always will be, “unwinnable”.”
Our military has since Obama promised to “change America fundamentally” been too busy kowtowing to an ever deteriorating & devolving leadership class that has not just become unmoored, inept, and petty, but has embraced destructive insanity as policy, wasting their and their troops time trying to wokenize the troops so their loyalty is more to the globalist mandarinate and its agenda than the U.S. and its constitution.
Remember these people being singled out are part of the group of people that ignored the order of a president they didn’t like (Obama appointees obviously wouldn’t like someone that told them their priorities were not just wrong, but that they were wasting America’s wealth and youth) to draw down our presence in Afghanistan, and now we know that the reason was that they had been telling lies and knew withdrawal would mean their lies would be exposed.
We got lucky that Biden decided not to walk the withdrawal back and we got to see how fucking inept our mandarinate and military top brass have become. THis is a real bad portent for a world that is heading towards an inevitable clash in the very near future…
This, over and over and over
We have forgotten that wars are supposed to be brutally ugly affairs’, intended to kill as many of the enemy’s people as possible, while breaking all their shit, so they lose the will to keep fucking with you. The noble and clean war shit we do nowadays is a recipe for disaster, and we have been seeing how it only leads to losses for over 50 years but refuse to either stop starting these unwinnable wars or fight to win.
Van Creveld wrote on this topic thirty years ago. The “low intensity conflict” is a recipe for disaster unless you’re the military contractors that benefit from it.
https://www.amazon.com/Transformation-War-Reinterpretation-Conflict-Clausewitz/dp/0029331552/ref=sr_1_19
Or Star Trek:TOS in that episode where the society had normalized war to the point of using simulations to determine how many people died and then shuffled them off to the incinerators. Once you pretend it’s clean and orderly, it’s easier to do. Add to that the opportunity our current system offers for politicians to make bank, both financially and in terms of political power, off the operation and it’s a recipe for these colossal mistakes we always seem to fall into. It only looks like a mistake if you mis-read the incentives and goals.
The DOD understands this. It’s why they co-opted the journalists by embedding them and making certain they never got to report on the worst of the fighting and atrocities unless it was to make the other side look bad.
The absurd concept of “honorable warfare” goes much much further back than a mere 50 years.
None of this is new, or unpredictable to those who’ve been paying attention and know some history.
Now now, the Romans also used their legions to build ROADZ!
So that the legions might more quickly reach and crush Rome’s enemies.
See Carthage…
That’s how you do war. Three strikes and you are done.
“The spirit of the bayonet is to kill” shouted loudly, Basic Training , 1956. 65 years later I still remember.
20 years later women were integrated into Combat Service units and needed a safe sitdown place to do routine chores. If I’m a misogynist so be it. Cadence calls are meant to be bonding and may be offensive to some, sorry ’bout that.
That whole essay is pure fire.
It’s always those that are at the bottom and doing the actual heavy lifting that are fucked over by the elite cabals, and that’s exactly what you have here. So many went to this shithole and fought with both hand tied behind their backs while watching good people be fucked over by the rules they were expected to follow against an enemy that had no rules, while the fucking despicable asshats that created the rules remained safe at home and played with their lives.
I just posted that link, refreshed and here we all are! with the same reading habits…..
must read, especially for those with the power to do something about it, i.e., Congress and maybe some in the Executive who might be persuaded.
Congress will do nothing. I remind you that it is congress that vets the top brass appointments, and that congress has been picking some real fucking stupid winners since we went into the age of “Fundamentally changing America” and “Hope and Change”.
That’s why our military’s priorities is not the coming war against the CCP Chinese military, but fighting global warming, exploring and validating Critical Race Applied Principles (CRAP) and “White Anger”, and making sure the military’s cadre purges people that are loyal to the United States and our Constitution instead of the cabal in D.C. and the globalist agenda it serves.
The mistake is thinking that we could control them forever. We have neither reason nor ability to control them for ever. We should have done what we needed and could have done, which is to punish them severely for fucking with us and then split. Keep a close eye after that and go back and punish them more if they start again. This our problem domestically, also. The government want to control everything and it never will be able to. They will break everything they touch. They could just protect rights and enforce just laws while maintaining national security and they might do a decent job of that. Everything else they do, they wreck people, places and things. Ain’t never gonna learn, either.
No real arguments with that, other than, the military is spared almost all criticism from the political sphere of late. The military is deserving of some serious criticism, but our politicians are now too afraid of delivering it (having been obsequious in their dealings the last 20 years). The military bureaucracy is just like every other bureaucracy – busy inventing justifications for growing their fucking empires.
Rumor is, the workplace will be requiring a mandatory “attestation.” Anyone know where the fuck this particular bit of cooftheater originated from?
Stupid people?
“I do believe in fairies!”
It’s a stepping stone to mandatory vaxxing. Start preparing.
We have that – deadline is the end of the month to attest to your vax status.
My work has thankfully not brought any of that up. Of course, it’s a bit harder to say that the vax is mandatory when most of the work force is WFH.
Is “Nunya fuckin’ bidness.” a valid answer?
Same here. Once the Unions figure out what they want in forcing this upon us. Even if I were vaccinated, I am refusing “attestation” (and a lot of people in the field feel the same way). We deal with electricity and the prospect of us performing CPR/First Aid to a peer is always present but yet we don’t have to attest to our AIDS/HIV, Hep C status, any of the bloodborne pathogens, influenza, etc. But this…we are being asked about this one thing.
Things that make you go hmmmmm.

At least they used adult stem cells. I have fewer ethical complaints there.

Yup. Mammalian eyes are brain cells that evolved. Octppus eyes OTOH derive from the skin, so they don’t have blind spots
“actor/dancer Patrick Swayze”
“Pain don’t hurt.”
“It’s my way or the highway.”
“I thought you’d be bigger.”
Patrick was the best worst actor. Change my mind.
He got some sweet poontang..
Great dancer though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stqG2ihMvP0
Dirty Dancing was at least partly a true story. Would have been a good movie with the original poignant ending.
Oh, best worst actor?
Excuse me, I must go take my reading comprehension pills.
“Oh, best worst actor?”
So bad he was good.
Always liked his reaction here: https://www.lavanguardia.com/r/GODO/LV/p0/WebSite/2017/08/22/Recortada/109947-206382-giphy-500-281-20170822190002@LaVanguardia-Web.gif
There is only one best worst actor. You can’t even fight about it.
Do B movie actors count?
The Bruce is his own category.
But Bruce isn’t a bad actor. He and Shatner are the GOATs.

OK, so after seeing Ian McCollum’s video yesterday on his tanker M1, I imagine that any of them out there just jumped in value quite a bit.
There are a number of 16″ M1As on gunbroker–I handled one of the “Socom 16s” earlier this year at a gun shop and liked it but ultimately didn’t buy because for that style rifle I prefer the look and feel of a wooden stock. The SA Tanker M1A is about as close as you can get without doing a custom build on an M1 parts kit, but it doesn’t come with a forward optic rail, which adds about $200 if you buy one at Brownells.
I really don’t need to spend the money, but would love to have one.
Maybe I’ll see if I can do a parts kit conversion from an old beat up M1 Garand.
Australia has gone full police state. Arresting children for not wearing masks.
https://www.bitchute.com/video/Gooq0cYwlYdw
Found out two weeks ago that Australian citizens who live overseas and who go there at this time must receive government permission to leave Australia.
The mistake is thinking that they will stop doing this eventually. They have no intention of stopping.
That’s deeply disturbing. Looks like it takes around 12 police officers to subdue a 12 year old girl.
This is the future pro-maskers want here (not those wearing masks but those demanding everyone else do at all times). It’s evil plain and simple. We laugh at those letters or facebook posts they write about wanting to cut people out of their lives who won’t mask or vax , but I’m feeling the same way about those who demand our liberty be stripped by the State. They are collaborators.
Parallel structures will develop. Want to cut me out of your life because I disagree with you? Fine. I’ll find people who don’t care. The more difficult issue is employment.
This is beyond disagreement. Disagreement is one person vaxing their child and another choosing not but both respecting each other’s decisions.
We’re at the point where a sizeable proportion wants to hold down and inject my child or have the police beat them and imprison me for not masking. This is going to come to violence before it’s over… and if doesn’t then we will probably wish it had along Putrid’s post just below.
That’s deeply disturbing. Looks like it takes around 12 police officers to subdue a 12 year old girl.
“How did the German people let the Nazis do those things?”
“I would have been in the underground fighting the Nazis!”
“Why didn’t the Russian people rise up and defy the NKVD?”

“There is no law so obscene that the police would not be willing to enforce it, up to and including the mass execution of innocent children.”

Typical government. Wasting resouces.
I always wanted to visit New Zealand long before Pete Jackson. I had a bud that was an actual world traveler-type and he said that bar none, NZ was his best experience. I chalk it up to lonely island girls, cliff sides and tall gum-boots.
It is beautiful country and the people were nice enough – they all just seem to have lost their minds, like a zombie flick of some type but unthinking instead of undead.
“The Taliban, meanwhile, pressed ahead with their efforts to form an “inclusive, Islamic government.””
LOL!
Oh, it’s inclusive. Everyone will be required to obey their interpretation of Sharia.
An “inclusive government” much like the Red Army did as it steam-rolled across Eastern Europe in 1945 and held the people hostage for decades. Fuck it, not my dancing bears, not my mauled customers…
The eight-month time frame is most likely based on findings from both the U.S. and abroad looking at how the vaccines have held up over time — and whether they can stand up to the hypertransmissible delta variant of the coronavirus that has overtaken the country.
*rolls eyes*
“Delta is forcing this discussion” on boosters, said Dr. Colleen Kraft, associate chief medical officer at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta.
Or you cuntes are trying to create some sort of “vaccine” dependency for something that mutates constantly.
This. One reason there isn’t a vaccine for the common cold (also a corona virus) is that it mutates too quickly. You end up with ADE / compromised immune system and no real immunity. Half the new covid cases are vaccinated people and nobody in the mainstream is allowed to notice.
As for why the booster shots would be recommended at eight months, Singer said, “it’s not entirely clear
It’s also not clear what effect booster shots could have on the trajectory of the pandemic.
That clears it up, thank you.
They’re hoping that at eight months the immune reaction to the shot doesn’t kill you.
Are they? “They” don’t seem to care in the least.
If the reactions are too numerous, they’re not going to be able to bury it.
I really do think they’re backed into a corner now. They either admit this was a failure, or they double down and go for broke. The latter is what they’ll choose.

I’m always entertained to find out that the popular version of a song is a cover song. First one that I really learned that about was at a local pool hall in my early teens, the owner had a jukebox. Whenever someone would bring up Istanbul (not Constantinople), he’d bet them they didn’t know who sang it. Person would generally respond with They Might Be Giants, and the owner would walk over to the jukebox and play this version.
Yeah, I am a jerk about that on the internet.
I mean, even more so than normal.
My parents had the 45 of the The Four Lads version when I was a kid, and I used to play it all the time.
When the TMBG version came out, all I could think was that the original was better (and I love TMBG).
But yes, it almost immediately became ‘their’ song, it was a rare person who knew of the original, which also made sense at the time it was released, unlike the TMBG version, released after the ‘new’ name had been in place for many years.
I had a long conversation with a frightened one last night. She seems to be of a mind that everyone should be vaxed for their own good. I replied that my principles are pretty rock solid and that I would never take it even if the government tried to compel me to do so. She asked about my job. Fuck it. It’s a shitty job and I’ll find another. It went on and on. I think many thoughts were had and one bean flicked this morning.

Gov. Greg Abbott tested positive Tuesday for COVID-19, according to his office.
Abbott, who is fully vaccinated, is not experiencing any symptoms and isolating at the Governor’s Mansion, spokesperson Mark Miner said in a statement. He is getting the Regeneron’s monoclonal antibody treatment
Which means he test is horseshit and he is not infected…
New Zealand actually had a strong libertarian presence in government at one point in the 80s. The finance secretary, or whatever they are called, of the Labour party later founded LibertariaNZ. For a few years, he got to implement pretty libertarian fiscal policies. He took “No, fuck you, cut spending” seriously.
Assuming the deal was ever workable, and that’s a big assumption, queering the deal by delaying the withdrawal and the Afghan government’s taking it with little pushback was the primary undermining. Well, that and the fact that the whole situation over there was a shitshow regardless of who was in charge but of course they’re going to try to shift blame.
There are days I miss being in the tech business. Today is not one of those days. Owning my own business has kept me clear of the worst of this COVID bullshit. Hence why I believe the government wants to destroy small businesses.

“Twitter has refused to join its social media counterparts in banning the Taliban from its platform, saying it’ll monitor content to ensure there aren’t messages ‘glorifying violence’.

Twitter said in a statement that it will ‘continue to proactively enforce our rules and review content that may violate Twitter rules, specifically policies against glorification of violence, platform manipulation and spam.'”

Wife was talking to me last night about vaccines. She called her primary doctor to discuss past issues, current issues, etc. You know, things you discuss with your doctor before going into an experimental treatment. The doc was quite frank “I cannot tell you one way or the other. It appears it helps reduce the severity if you do contract COVID but there are many side-effects that are affecting people in wide ranges”.
How damn refreshing and how sad.
An honest answer? Wow.
Fetch my fainting couch!
I suspect many small practice doctors answer that way. She doesn’t have privileges I think at any of the hospitals in the area or if she does, she is quiet about it. Hospitals are in the business of getting people in the door and keeping them, especially if they have some fat insurance policies.
Post name in forums? Will travel if necessary.
I wish we had more dissenting voices from the medical profession, but I guess it’s hard when the government can yank your license (and Big Tech wouldn’t allow you to post such dangerous opinions anyway).
Two pharmacists at work were talking last night and I caught bits and pieces. One of them was saying stuff like “I quit when they started rolling out the COVID shots” … “They just don’t care about patient safety at all” … “They change the procedures every single day with how we’re supposed to handle them and administer them” … “The manufacturer didn’t give us any information about this” … “And all they said to me was to contact my state legislature.”
Maybe I’ll subtly steer her towards conversation on that and see what happens.
It wasn’t really dissenting either. It was just an honest answer she gave to a patient to make the decision on her own. I think that is all Americans want.

Denny is writing next Dune movie
I hold my judgement until I see the first one
I am planning on seeing it in the theater, just to try and help future scifi movies get made.
How do you split that one book into two movies? If that’s true, I won’t bother seeing “part 1”.
Combining several threads: LOTR should have been 6 movies, The Hobbit should have been 1.
Also, 6 movies allows for Tom Bombadil and The Scouring of the Shire.
Cutting Bombadil was the best decision made. He doesn’t contribute to the narrative. Though the Scouring should have been there as a thematic closure for the hibbit characters, as it demonstrates their change from the start of the story.
Of course Tom contributes to the narrative, he helps build the world. There are things in Middle Earth beyond all understanding. He sort of foreshadows the ents. Plus he is instrumental in the barrow wight scene, also cut. Which means the hobbits don’t have the barrow blades -Merry’s had been specifically enchanted to harm the Witch King, which allowed Eowyn to kill him.
“Specifically enchanted to harm the witch king” is a really strange enchantment to just have lying around in a random tomb.
There are things in Middle Earth beyond all understanding… I mean…he led with that and it isn’t really random since it isn’t a new threat, just a reemerged threat.
It is a random tomb, and “beyond all understanding” diminishes the story more than anything else.
AKSHULLY, it’s not a random tomb. The Barrow Downs were created by wights sent by said Witch King.
Which then raises the question of why such a specifically enchanted weapon would be found there. Either he was ignorant of its existance, which makes it being at the site odd, or he chose not to destroy it and leave it at an ill-supervised site so far from his core power base.
The blades were originally wrought by smiths of Arthedain in the middle of the Third Age as daggers for use in the wars with Angmar. They were buried in a barrow in Tyrn Gorthad along with the last prince of Cardolan, who fell in battle with Angmar in TA 1409.
Not random at all, lost and/or forgotten. Just like the ring.
It wasn’t a random tomb.
Considering the Witch King is the Witch King of Angmar, it isn’t strange at all.
Honestly, IDK. LOTRO gets really deep into the lore weeds, especially with the pre-Gondorian human kingdoms. If I had to guess, it’d be:
Wight finds, captures weapon, gets sealed before it can arrange to FedEx it back to Angmar.
So which is it, did he order the barrows, or did his enemies?
Jinx, obe beat me to it.
And Tom knew all about them, he hadn’t forgotten, and he made sure the hobbits had them.
Not sure about the barrows, but the weapons were created by his enemies.
I was about to posit that you never know about backstabbing underlings, but they count as enemies too.
The barrow-downs were built by Men in the first age.
Then the barrow-wights inhabited them…
You move into a place and don’t even thoroughly search it?
He deserved to get chopped up by Hibbitses and horsewomen.
The first book was really book 1 of the initial trilogy.
Then there was a standalone book
And a second trilogy which Frankie didn’t finish before he died.
Sure book 1 of 3. No one said this was doing all 3 and that would be impossible in one movie. This is splitting just Dune into two movies, when it is one story line all the way through. This isn’t Game of Thrones were every damn chapter is a different viewpoint.
I interpret the rumor as meaning “Dune Part 2” is Dune Messiah
OK, if that’s the case I’m good – other than the other rumor that Chani becomes the lead character in that.
The trailer for the Dune movie definitely includes Paul capturing a worm so I can’t imagine it doesn’t finish out the book.
It would probably be possible to split it into two movies, with the first movie being about the fall of the Atriedes, and ending with Paul waking up from the water of life test. The second movie about his rise to leadership of the Fremen, and the fall of the Harkonnen.
Denny is writing next Dune movie
I initially read that as “Denny’s” and wondered if the script would have references to Grand Slam Breakfasts or Moon Over My Hammy.
“The operator of an obscure website about tunnels under Washington, DC, alerted the FBI about a huge spike in traffic from militia sites and apparent Trump supporters in the days before the January 6 Capitol riots.
Former Capitol Hill intern Elliot Carter is the creator and curator of WashingtonTunnels.com, a website dedicated to the underground tunnels and pipe systems in the nation’s Capitol.
The site includes maps and details of the underground transit rail system, along with water and sewer systems and has a steady following among local history and city planning buffs.”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9902905/DC-tunnel-website-contacted-FBI-traffic-spike-days-Capitol-riots.html
So all these things were allegedly happening before January 6, but Trump incited it that afternoon?

There weren’t any attacks on those things, but there *could* have been so we need to crack down hard. Kind of like AOC saying she *could* have been raped. But wasn’t.

Leftist statue smashers emerged again over the weekend in Canada, toppling the statue of Canada’s first prime minister Sir John A. MacDonald in Hamilton on Saturday. A separate incident saw a statue honouring British monarch Queen Victoria doused in red paint in Ontario.
On Saturday, a “Hamilton Indigenous Unity” protest was organised against the local council’s decision not to remove the statue depicting the Scotsman who became Canada’s first prime minister, Sir John A. MacDonald.
Rather than abiding by the will of the democratically elected council, activists took it upon themselves to tear down the statue over his links to the historical oppression of indigenous people in the residential school system, which he helped form in Canada in the 1800s.
Following the march, activists converged on Gore Park, where one activist tied a rope around the kneck of the statue and toppled it as the crowd cheered on, CBC reported. The statue was further vandalised by the mob as it fell to the ground.

So the racist black lady who accused a white woman of white supremacy because she wrote a book about asian noodles and dumplings, then after people pointed out that was stupid, begged for money to pay for her therapy, has now locked her account and put up a picture of an asian woman as her profile pic.
Meanwhile, the woke food nazis are buttmad the woman is now selling more copies of her book due to the free publicity.
There isn’t someone in that story I’m supposed to like is there?
The white woman who wrote the cookbook sounds like a lefty, but didn’t do anything wrong.

Shouldn’t that be “people-cession” and “people-covery”?
Can you imagine a conversation between him and Biden?
One of his closest allies just got bitch-slapped in a Provincial election. All hope is not lost.
If the Nova Scotian provincial election is any indicator, in order to win against Trudeau, the Cons will have to “out-left” the Liberals.
I’m not sure that would be a “win” in any real sense of the term, but just getting rid of Trudeau might be the Pyrrhic victory I could console myself with. It’s early days, but there are genuine protests showing up wherever Trudeau stops to speak, and as Maclean’s mag has so beautifully put it, the average anti-vaxxer in Ontario is a 42-year-old female with kids, which is pretty much the target demographic for Trudeau’s pandering around “she-covery.” If the Libs try to push vaccine mandates, that could very well sink them outside of Quebec.
Here’s hoping against hope. We need that mewling midwit gone.

I recently used JB Weld for the first time in my life. This stuff is freaking awesome!
Metal parts in our dishwasher for holding up the upper rack on one side had some small welds that had rusted and broken. It would have cost $60 for a new part (and been a pain in the ass to pull the dishwasher out and disassemble part of it) or probably $200+ to have a repair service come out. Instead, I decided to try JB Weld to reattach the parts and after spending $5, 15 minutes to sand the parts and apply the epoxy, and a 24-hour cure time, it’s probably a stronger connection than new.
Awesome!
I’ve been thinking a lot about the political and economic situation, and I think “jerry-rigging” and making things yourself might become an urgently needed skill in the future, like it was in the Great Depression. I’ve been woodworking a lot, and I’m looking into the possibility of blacksmithing/forging. We may be headed for a future where you have to make things yourself or improvise a repair like with your dishwasher part.
JB Weld’s great, and I’ve used it for water-tight connections in the past, but never underestimate the ability of water to defeat the mightiest of human works. Every water-tight connection I’ve done with JB Weld has eventually failed. All of ’em. The epoxy’s certainly extended the working life of stuff I’ve fixed, but it’s not magic.
Water is the Universal Solvent, ask a Mountain Range,
The dishwasher repair doesn’t need to be watertight – just has to hold two pieces together. Two metal pieces originally had four small metal welds across about 10 inches of surface holding them together. I sanded the 10 inches and applied the JB Weld across the entire shared surface. It’s basically “welded” across 100 times the surface area. I expect the original welds to fail on the other side eventually and I’ll do the same thing there. I searched online for solutions before deciding to try the JB Weld and people complained that the metal welds would fail – even on the replacement parts they bought and installed.
Problem with JB Weld is my understanding is there is metal in the mix. That said I think it’s great stuff.

So, I’ve been noodling on the idea of starting up a small mutual aid society to help folks who are refusing to take the shot. I’m debating whether to take the first step or whether it’s too late and/or uninteresting.
I’m not deep enough to start peeling away all the regulatory layers inevitably involved in what would likely be classified as an insurance scheme, but I have to do something. I can’t just sit by and watch this continue.
Thoughts on viability? What you would want such a thing to look like if you would participate?
Interesting question.
I have to assume that they intend to make the Obamacare insurance plans contingent on the vaccines at some point. The bright side of that is that I will be freed from the god-awful insanity of the income bracket it imposes.
I’ve been suspicious of the health insurance alternatives in the past. If for no other reason, the pricing model in place at hospitals and labs is a massive disincentive to not being on an actual insurance policy. With three kids, one of whom has genetic issues, it’s a treacherous option.
That said, I think it’s inevitable I will be pursuing that path because of the strings that will come with the regulated market.
Perhaps the best option is to act as a compilation repository for the alternatives that exist. A forum for robust discussion of them would be welcome.
I’ve been suspicious of the health insurance alternatives in the past.
To be clear, the idea I’m thinking about is more akin to unemployment insurance. Essentially, if you get fired for not taking the vax, you get some defined benefit. The hope is to stick a small bundle of cash on the “no vax” side of the scale to try to balance it out a bit.
I guess one thing it would have to consider is what consequences there may be for refusing. In some jurisdictions it might be limited to disallowing entry to certain buildings. In others, denial of services (effectively). In some individual cases, it might be loss of income. That’s a big one right there. I’d imagine many traditional insurers don’t cover the results of individual choices–how would this work? To bootstrap such an organization would require significant investment absent a major underwriter. Would any existing underwriters take this risk on?
LOl! no! Insurance companies are in tight with the government. They have special “regulators” who tell them what they can charge. How much will they allow insurance to charge for insuring against themselves doing evil? Nope.

“Thoughts on viability? ”
It’s payment processing, banking, social media accounts, website, etc. might get pulled.
Have you considered a legal defense association? Lawsuits against not only the companies but also naming individual HR and management parties.
Something set up like the Home School Legal Defense Association. They do not provide cash aid, but defend homeschoolers in court and will initiate lawsuits as needed. They also send out a ton of letters and phone calls as a first step that ends up backing many school systems down with needing to go further. Just having a lawyer in their corner could be extremely helpful for many, especially at small businesses.
without needing to go further
The concern I have with that is getting into a position where I have to either defend at-will employment or defend medical autonomy. Both are good things, and I don’t want to undercut one to bolster the other.
In my opinion, these companies should be allowed to fire all of us for not taking the shot, but we should band together to support those of us who feel those consequences.
I work for the government and can only be fired for cause. This is the government forcing the people it has special power over to do something highly invasive for political reasons. It’s not the same as a private company decreeing they want to ensure their workforce is safe from cooties. Even that is still a violation of the Nuremburg rules. One cannot use coercion either by punishment or reward to make someone participate in a medical experiment. In the case of the government forcing it on employees, it’s a violation of equal protection, due process, privacy and my contract. By the government. In an extremely invasive manner. For something that increasingly looks like it doesn’t even work in the first place. And to protect against something that seems increasingly like it really isn’t much of a threat.
Maybe instead of lawsuits against employers who did this, there should be one big lawsuit against OSHA (and any other government body that was involved) for greenlighting them to fire people for declining the vax.
It’s a longshot, but I’m just trying to brainstorm here.
Others have commented on viability and problems, but if you start one up, I’d join.

Trump fired Esper in November 2020 in the wake of the presidential election.
Ahh. I see why Esper is saying what he is saying.
President Joe Biden called school district superintendents in Florida and Arizona last week to praise them for doing “the right thing” in defiance of executive orders from their governors. The Biden administration also promised federal money if DeSantis carries out a threat to withhold some state funds from districts imposing mask mandates.
Biden can go fuck himself.
“The data are strongly suggestive that people who got vaccinated early in Israel — that is, in January — are seeing infections in the vaccinated at a higher rate than people who got vaccinated in April,” said Dr. Sankar Swaminathan, chief of the infectious diseases division at University of Utah Health.
Huh. How about people with natural immunity?
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern confirmed that a total of 10 cases have been detected since the draconian stay-at-home order was announced, all of which were infected with the highly-transmissible Delta.
She’s fucking evil and can go fuck herself.

How Bush, Blair and Biden lost Afghanistan

We got there to find a wrecked city. Nothing functioned. There was no central bank, no budget, no tax system, no electricity, no phone system, no decent roads. Not so much a failed state as no state at all. – so libertopia?
For the first three years the Blair government spent less than £100m per annum on bilateral aid to Afghanistan
If we had invested properly after the 2001 invasion, we could have saved many lives and a lot of money
It was an act of breathtaking stupidity on Biden’s part to withdraw on such a strict timetable

So, the Biden administration felt bound to an agreement made by the previous administration with an insurgent group that had excluded the actual government of Afghanistan
That’s just plain out not true. Period. Full stop. They specifically voided the agreement. The agreement called for a May withdrawal. The Biden administration decided to ignore that deadline. And then withdraw unilaterally. During fighting season.
But they needed the extra time to get people out, remove weapons and equipment, and execute an orderly evacuation!

The other day someone mentioned this song — one of the dystopian greats of the ’80s. Some folks here dissed it, but I think it really deserves better.
The song of this genre that most people think of is Genesis’s “Land of Confusion,” but there are others of note as well. For instance, Asia several songs fitting this:
“Wildest Dreams”
“Countdown to Zero”
“After the War”
Blue Oyster Cult had a few too, but those were more ’70s songs.
What other dystopian ’80s music can you think of that I’m missing?
How about this one?

sorry, must really get my skates on!
merde, dood it again. so much for the VSATs.
“It’s a Mistake” is a good one. Not as dark a tone as most of the songs I’ve been thinking of, but the imagery is of the same type.
I always liked that one.
haha, those crazy Brits.
I hope the Russians love their children too…
That was a serious concern back then, ISTR, warded off by a Soviet whose name I forget right now. Him and Bezmenov: who knew?

It’s “voluntary,” but the restrictions in place if you don’t do it are enormous.
“You don’t have to do it if you don’t want to but if you don’t do it, you can’t work, go into certain places, and be fined. But we’re not forcing you to do it though.”
Roberts says it is fine as long as there are no criminal charges for non-compliance.
“they might quit their jobs. That would backfire on our corporate friends.”
“Oh, I know, let’s jab their children instead!”
“yeah! perfect! They won’t object when it results in their kids being harmed! Do it!”
I would strongly suggest you start stocking up on ammo, Ed – and practicing. That is exactly what is coming.
Once they can forcibly vaccinate you – an adult – you think somehow that your kids have “magical super RIGHTS” that are greater than yours?
I got my Illinois FOID card a month ago. You bet your ass, I’m starting to look for ways to defend myself. I came to that conclusion when I saw the rioters burn down entire cities and the police did nothing to stop them and those in the halls of power encouraged them to do so. At that point I realized that I need to be able to protect my family and myself.
Once again, the truism is playing out for all to see. The only rights you have are the ones you are willing to fight and die for.
And from THAT standpoint, the events that unfolded in Afghanistan are a significant lesson.

TBF, a fair chunk of that could’ve been from the opium trade. I assume he was continuing Karzai’s Afghan Presidential tradition of installing relatives as kingpins in the opium trade.
Directly skimmed from aid money and the like and profiting from the opium trade that we protected with our military forces. Six of one and half a dozen of the other.
Money is fungible, as they say.
It makes me want to shut my mouth before I get myself in trouble. I must say I don’t like it one little bit though.
There’s been seven months of total disaster from Biden. All of what he’s done has been exactly what the dems have wanted. Suddenly, the left is happy to show his incompetence fully and plainly. Why?
