and i found this:
One of my major problems with, “The Donald,” currently is the trite fact that his politics come no where near matching his rhetoric. He is not a Conservative, nor a slightly right of center moderate, nor even a slightly left of center moderate. Donald Trump, up until 2009 anyhow, has always been a full blown Socialist in the finest tradition of crony Socialists, residing somewhere in the political neighborhood of George Soros, Michael Bloomberg, Warren Buffett, and Thomas Steyer. He constantly called for increasing marginal tax rates, socialized healthcare schemes, gun control, cessation of First Amendment Rights, increasing the scope and authority of the federal behemoth through agency regulation and strengthening, and just about everything we on the right side of the aisle have always been against.- posted by flyovercountry. July 14th, 2015.
Of the two options, most people would probably prefer the “State sovereignty” approach due to it’s more gentle tack, but it won’t happen. State governments, by and large, have the same the problem that FedGov does.
Most state gov’t “departments” are simply plumbing for federal money these days. Instituting and allocating federal programs and dollars. Oh, and graft. Lots of graft.
I’m kinda busy and have had time to just skim, but who is ‘speaking’ this…”Donald Trump, up until 2009 anyhow, has always been a full blown Socialist in the finest tradition of crony Socialists, residing somewhere in the political neighborhood of George Soros, Michael Bloomberg, Warren Buffett, and Thomas Steyer.

back later, I’m researching something
Time mag has an Orwellian article up that I’m looking at. It purports to show how the 2020 election was ‘saved’ from the Trumpists. Look at this para.
Their work touched every aspect of the election. They got states to change voting systems and laws and helped secure hundreds of millions in public and private funding. They fended off voter-suppression lawsuits, recruited armies of poll workers and got millions of people to vote by mail for the first time. They successfully pressured social media companies to take a harder line against disinformation and used data-driven strategies to fight viral smears. They executed national public-awareness campaigns that helped Americans understand how the vote count would unfold over days or weeks, preventing Trump’s conspiracy theories and false claims of victory from getting more traction. After Election Day, they monitored every pressure point to ensure that Trump could not overturn the result. “The untold story of the election is the thousands of people of both parties who accomplished the triumph of American democracy at its very foundation,” says Norm Eisen, a prominent lawyer and former Obama Administration official who recruited Republicans and Democrats to the board of the Voter Protection Program.
Norm Eisen is the brains behind the ‘purple’ color revolution here.

America’s Political Prisoners First
In September 2019, Couy Griffin, founder of Cowboys for Trump, met with President Trump in the Oval Office.
His group, according to its website, believes “securing our border, protecting our Second Amendment, and protecting the lives of the unborn are the most vital and key aspects in America’s Greatness.” Trump supporters riding on horseback—often carrying American flags and Trump banners—participated in rallies across the country to show support for the president.
Today, Griffin sits in a jail cell denied bail.
Prosecutors charged Griffin with one minor count of trespassing as part of the Justice Department’s sweeping investigation into the events of January 6. Griffin, who is a county commissioner in New Mexico, never entered the Capitol but investigators scoured his social media account to find evidence that he was “well within the restricted area” of the building.
Griffin did not assault a police officer or break any windows or even steal an important leader’s laptop. His real crime, of course, is that he’s a supporter of Donald Trump—and his real threat to society, according to U.S. prosecutors and a federal judge, is that Griffin dares to doubt the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. (In his post-arrest interview, Griffin told the FBI “the election was stolen.”)
Arguing that Griffin is a flight risk and should remain in jail throughout his trial, government lawyers claimed his refusal to accept Joe Biden as the legitimately elected president would cause him to also “deny the authority of the judicial officers appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate.”

So they’re denying him bail on a trespassing charge????

@ eaglesoars:
Yeah I got that.
I’m saying it’s just a trespassing charge, from the report. They report it as “minor count,” which leads me to believe it’s probably a summary offense, at most an extremely low level misdemeanor.
Nobody ever gets denied bail for those. No matter the reasoning.
This is complete judicial abuse. The way things are currently, they might get away with it. Normally he could appeal to a higher court, but who knows.
Words can’t convey how dangerous a precedent this would be.
Now read this
For my last column I spoke with The New York Times’ Thomas Friedman about an article he wrote more than a decade ago, during the first year of Barack Obama’s presidency. His important piece documents the exact moment when the American elite decided that democracy wasn’t working for them. Blaming the Republican Party for preventing them from running roughshod over the American public, they migrated to the Democratic Party in the hopes of strengthening the relationships that were making them rich.
A trade consultant told Friedman: “The need to compete in a globalized world has forced the meritocracy, the multinational corporate manager, the Eastern financier and the technology entrepreneur to reconsider what the Republican Party has to offer. In principle, they have left the party, leaving behind not a pragmatic coalition but a group of ideological naysayers.”
In the more than 10 years since Friedman’s column was published, the disenchanted elite that the Times columnist identified has further impoverished American workers while enriching themselves. The one-word motto they came to live by was globalism—that is, the freedom to structure commercial relationships and social enterprises without reference to the well-being of the particular society in which they happened to make their livings and raise their children.

Down at the beach house with Rohan and his new Labrador pup…. Waffle ….
This morning we had toast and a morning milky and stories with Ba-Ba followed by Vegemite and wholemeal toast and Yoghurt. Rohan went hubert-gathering around the yard and found the peach tree and helped himself, followed by boysenberries of the big bush. We took Waffle to the Village Green for a quick swing followed by a trip down the track to the beach. Waffle a ‘rescue dog’ can’t believe her luck. Being a Lab she dived straight into the water. Rohan then spied a Bronze Whaler pup up at the high water mark and as he knows the Baby Shark song figured that he was an expert on sharks. Poked his finger into the shark’s open (dead) mouth and found out that shark teeth are SHARP the hard way. Fixed by some water detail and a band-aide. 🙂
Back home to pick a load of boyenberrys for Apple Rhubarb and Boysenberry pie tonight.Rohan is Covered in boysenberry juice. His shit will be purple tomorrow! 🙂

Hawley’s wife files complaint against organizer of protest outside their home
The wife of Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) has filed a criminal complaint against the organizer of a protest outside of their home in Virginia last month.
Erin Hawley filed the complaint against Patrick Young, an activist and part of the group ShutDownDC, which organized the protest, though Young told ABC News on Friday that he has not yet received the complaint.
A police spokesperson told ABC News that a local magistrate found “probable cause” to issue a summons to Young. It is not known yet what the probable cause is.
The complaint was filed in a court in Fairfax County and will be available to the public after Young receives it.
Young has been charged with a misdemeanor count of illegally demonstrating, after police told ShutDownDC at the time that it was illegal to demonstrate outside of the home, ABC reported.
“If a summons has been issued, it is outrageous that a rich and powerful person — a United States senator — can go to their magistrate to get a summons to harass a normal person,” Young said.

I’m not sure EXACTLY which cases these are, but my understanding, SCOTUS doesn’t take cases that are basically moot because they’ve been overtaken by events. And they probably won’t take these either. ‘Conference’ is just that. My guess is that this is Roberts’ way of burying this like nuclear waste.

Unreal to listen to Biden complain about the ‘bad economy,jobs numbers’. Like none of us remembers the Trump economy or how many jobs were wiped out w/Keystone
Apple, Nike, and Coca Cola even lobbied against the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act. On Trump’s penultimate day in office, his Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced that the United States has “determined that the People’s Republic of China is committing genocide and crimes against humanity in Xinjiang, China, targeting Uyghur Muslims and members of other ethnic and religious minority groups.” That makes a number of major American brands that use forced Uyghur labor—including, according to a 2020 Australian study, Nike, Adidas, Gap, Tommy Hilfiger, Apple, Google, Microsoft, and General Motors—complicit in genocide.

Churchill was the First Sea Lord and totally screwed up the attempt to force passage to the Black Sea. It was his worst mistake and he came close to not surviving politically to lead Britain in the Second war.
Syria, Egypt, Palestine and even Iran were involved in WWI. Even Africa was involved as British and French took many German colonise in Africa and huge numbers of Africans fought in the side of France.

Interesting take on Wokeness and Critical Race Theory
Interesting essay

Here is the essay Eagles
@ eaglesoars:
SJW Critical Race Theory where being a part of the white class defines you as an oppressor and purveyor of white supremacy. Nothing you can do about it other than being a Kapo. This is the definition Biden is working with. Biden is a Kapo.

Possibly a similar situation however there are many differences as well.
The Bolsheviks and Menchiviks are easy to ID as the Hard Left AOC types (Bolsheviks ) of the Democrats and the RINO , Blue Dog Democrats (Mancheviks) with the rump liberal wing (whats left of it)
The Russian Whites can be possibly grouped under a general umbrella of the Republicans. Where the equivalent of Kranksky fits in is anyone’s guess.
Remember that it’s just under 90 weeks until the mis terms. The US will survive this however what REALLY worries me is the inability of an electoral system robust enough to elect an opposition party to power.

Deal with the realpolitik of exclusions and class warfare in the ground. Keep pointing out the illogical positions…. not that it will make SJW change one jot. You’re not targeting them. They are a lost cause. You’re targeting the rump of the populous who can still see the holes in the Woke BS attempts at arguing logically.

@ Aussie Infidel:
Interesting. I was not aware of anything like modern Gnosticism outside of New Age bookstores. To me it was an early competitor to the Church that withered on the vine.
I am surprised that the Catholic Church did not come out stronger for Trump.
I was thinking it was because the Pope is “Woke” in the bad sense of the word.
@ Aussie Infidel:
Your brain is way too big!!! 😉 I’ve been listening to the big brains on the Tim Ferris podcasts. They almost all say a fundamental building block for them was a high school teacher who taught them to write well and learn public speaking. Informative analysis of Russian history.
Podcasts: The guy at the head of the Carlye group reads 100 books a year. No fiction.
@ Aussie Infidel:
IMO POTUS Trump needed to EO the definition of racism. The resulting uproar would have drawn a sharp line between voters.
A 2 oz mouse disabled my 2 ton car.
Chewed through the wiring. Never happened on my old car that lived in mouseland. Something about these new vehicles that is tasty to rodents.

The gnosis that purportedly reveals all of this suffocating oppression is to be found in the writings of gurus like Kendi and DiAngelo, whose main difference from the likes of Marcion and Mani is the size of their royalty checks.
SMACK!!

That was fun, altho I’m going to have to read it again. My first issue with it is that it takes QAnon too seriously. It started out as a hoax and the author seems to be missing that.
I’m pretty sure this is an illegal order
U.S. President Joe Biden signed an executive order Thursday that denies state and local governments any authority to reject the drop-off of refugees into their towns and communities.

I thought that it was interesting in aligning QAnon with the assorted Wokesters Justice Warriors and Critical Race theorists. The only difference is that QAnon don’t know that they are playing into the Wokesters’ plot. The Delta between Woke and QAnon is wafer thin when you come right down to it. BOTH need kicking to the kerb.

Dodge is definitely doing so. Makes it very attractive to packrats. My 2018 RAM was attacked by one.
I once had a Honda Civic that became infested under the hood by mice. They even made a home down the air filter tube. I drove over 75 miles a day, 5 days a week to work and back so it wasn’t because it sat unused, parked out in the woods. This story might explain it as they did start feasting on the wiring.
The car never, not once, needed to go in the shop for repairs other than annual inspections – I did my own oil changes etc. The damn thing is still e driven, rust and all, by the person I sold it to.
No, not even MICE could kill it. What a car!

@ Aussie Infidel: Absolutely terrifying comparisons — If correct, this bodes ill for a great number of the US population — & the Left are just the ones to perpetrate the crimes, a;; the while thinking that they are making improvements. The road to Utopia very often terminates in Hell.
@ Bunk X:
Well I hope the lawyers keeps working against the voter fraud.
I listened to Douglass Murray yesterday. Extremely smart person but convinced there was zero fraud in the election. And that people who think there was fraud are stupid.

Long read. My attention span wasn’t long enough. But the people that have read it say its a glaring admission on the planned manipulation of the election.

And over at instapundit a hint that George Bush probably voted for Biden along with his old staff.
