Don't really care if they call him bad names.  It is an honor to be hated.  If they loved him, it would only be because he was screwing up.

Gotta look at it the right way.

Pearl Jam --- Black

Off the album called Ten.  I had a cassette tape of this album that I found lying on the ground many years ago.  I put it into the tape deck and played it, and I liked it.

Just the other day, this song from the album was played on the radio and I realized that I didn't understand the song.  Mostly because I cannot understand the lyrics, so I need to check the web and see what the heck this guy was singing.

After viewing the lyrics, it is really a sad song.

The song reminds me of a time that I was living in.  This was the early nineties, and a few things had not gone right.  The mood fits the song.

Today was kind of a tough day on the road.  Some of what happened reminded me of what happened back then.  Just a little problem that I have sometimes with seeing things backward.  It caused me to make a couple of mistakes that one would figure that--- after all these years in this business--- that I would never make.  Mistakes like that can make the difference between failure and success.  It's the little things that can get you.

I think about those times again, and I think of this song.  The things that might have been, but weren't.

So this is what the Never Trumpers had in mind?

This is the type of people that George Will said we needed to be in Congress.

Trump is supposed to be less than a gentleman, but what can you can about this woman?

Evidently, nothing, according to Saint Nancy.

Nice going George.  You got what you wanted.

Guy says that if humanity went extinct, he would not shed any tears

Comment:

At the heart of the so-called environmentalist movement lies this kind of thinking.  You cannot take these people at their word.

Therefore, it is not about saving the environment for future generations.  It is anti-humanity.  They want us dead.

High School Photos Come Back To Haunt Ocasio-Cortez, She Went By A DIFFERENT Name

Comment:

Most of the article shows how she was not from the Bronx, as she is trying to claim.  She also went by the name "Sandy".

Why the need to project an image that is not so?  Who does she think she's fooling?  But it seems to work.

Fakery is becoming worse: Now it is "Deep fake"

Saw this on Ace of Spades this morning.  It seems that fakery is getting better all the time.  It will become so bad that a completely false image can replace the real one.

It reminded me of something I wrote about before.  Or should I say, quoted before:

The sad truth is that in today’s America, nothing is real. Money is fake. Politicians are fake. Liberty is fake. We live in the United States of Fake, where we create fake presidents, fake heroes, and fake morals.

The truth is not respected anymore.  It is getting really bad out there.  Evidently, there are people who admire this kind of thing.  How long can that last?  Anything built on falsity cannot last.

Evidence that Chief Justice Roberts was hacked

Comment:

It would make a certain amount of sense to me that Roberts was blackmailed in some way.

The link discusses some evidence of the hack.\

Let's have a special prosecutor!  Sure.  That'll work.

Railguns

Comment:

This reminds me of the Quicklaunch concept, which does not use railgun tech.  There is more than one way to launch a projectile at hypersonic velocities.  The railgun concept may not even be the best concept out there.

Also, consider Maglev technologies for ground transportation as opposed to Elon Musk's ideas for fast ground transportation.  Musk's ideas may be superior.

Just saying that even if the Chinese are successful at this, there may be a better way.

Yet this article is doubtful that the Chinese have managed the railgun achievement, and its all hype.

There is more to say on this, besides.  Such an attack concept would not be useful against moving targets unless the object has some maneuvering capability.

Robbing the poor to give to the rich

The real story here is how the rich and powerful support the AGW scam, and stand to benefit from it; while at the same time, the poor pay the freight.

Yet, they claim to be for the poor.  Yep, they are for you being poor, while they laugh all the way to the bank.

Do these people really believe their own BS?

There seems to be a pattern.  Ever notice how the lefties like to pretend that they are what they aren't?

In the case of the Occasional Cortex,  it says here that she's not who she says she is.

Pocahontas wants to run for President, too.  Except she's about as Injun as my own lilly white ass.

Then you got all those "trannies" trying to be what they aren't.

Gotta be something wrong here, Boss.

Update:

She has gotten a reputation for not being bright.  You can be skeptical of that if you wish, but there is no doubt that she goofed with the latest tweet.

She said something to the effect that "scrubbed toilets with her mother".  Now that is questionable syntax right there, boss.  I double checked after somebody pointed it out, and yes, she did tweet those words.

She may well deserve the criticism.  Look how the Dems treated Dan Quayle.  It's payback time.

Happy New Year

Let's make it a good one, ya'll.

As for the Democrats, just ignore em until you have to shoot.

Turley fears what Democrats are becoming

In their visceral opposition to Trump, Turley believes the Democrats are abandoning their core principles.

Okay, if that is so, then why not join the Trump train?

Oh no, they cannot do that.  Nosirree.   It would make too much sense.

Do the Democrats even have any principles?  Have they ever had any principles?  Inquiring minds want to know.  Even Howard Dean would like to know.

Border Wall Pontifications

Comment:

Does Pelosi have the votes to become speaker?  If she doesn't, then the GOP should let the Dems fight it out amongst themselves.

The article says Pelosi wants to have her cake and eat it too, with respect to Trump's Wall.

The best way to oppose the Democrats is to ignore their moral preening, and do what you said what you would do.  Balls to Wall, and get 'er up.

Something is definitely wrong with Chief Justice Roberts

Updated:

12.31.18:

As an illustration of how absurd Roberts' behavior is, just about any lower court decision could usurp previous Supreme Court decisions.  Since Roberts won't even defend a previous ruling that he made himself, then the latest lower court ruling against Obamacare should be allowed to stand without Supreme Court review.  That's right.  It was Roberts who decided in favor of Obamacare before.  If he is consistent, he won't vote to review the lower courts recent ruling that Obamacare is unconstitutional. 

If you think that is all that could happen, consider this:  what is to prevent a lower court to rule that all of the New Deal programs, including Social Security, is unconstitutional?  That is how nutty Roberts' ruling really was.

12.29.18:

Based upon this article in Conservative Review, Roberts is definitely out of line.

Why do you suppose he is doing this?  Is he really being blackmailed?  There was some talk about that.

Civil War Is An Internal Cold War

Actually, a Civil War is the government at war with itself.  That is precisely what
is going on now in Washington D.C.

People may think of the Civil War as a violent clash of armies.  But this Civil War is
going on inside the government itself.  Will the public support it with an army in order
to actually fight it?  There is no sign that this is about to happen.

Since the election of 2016, we have had an ongoing attempt to sabotage the person of
Donald Trump.  Now that he has been elected, and sworn into office, and acting in his
capacities as President of the United States, there is an illegal attempt to thwart his
authority and remove him from office.  This is the very definition of a coup.

Of course, I refer to the Mueller investigation, which by the way, is illegal.  It is becoming more and more clear that it is illegal, and those who run it know full well that it is illegal, but don't care. They wish to impose their will even if it means the ruin of the nation.

There is a lot more to this than Mueller. With the Federal Reserve kicking interest rates higher, despite the fact that inflation is not accelerating, there are other fronts in the war.

Why would a Fed Chairman do that?  He was recommended by Trump's own cabinent official.  Why would he commit sabotage?  It is becoming quite clear that a lot of Trump's people are not really his people.  These people are serving the existing power scheme, and they do not wish for Trump to succeed.  What better way to make Trump fail than to induce a recession with excessively high interest rates, which sole purpose is not to stop inflation, but to sabotage the economy so that the blame goes to Trump, and the public stops supporting him.

Yes, it is suspicious for the Fed Chairman to raise rates, and also Mnuchin, for recommending him to Trump.  First, Sessions recuses himself, which brought in Mueller.  Now, Mnuchin brings in a Fed Chair who is hellbent on monkey-wrenching the economy.  A pattern emerges.

But this is not all.  With the recent news that Chief Justice Roberts will overturn 200 years of legal precedent, and give standing to foreigners that are not even on American soil, the question is repeated once again----Why?  Could it not be the same phenomenon?

Roberts also appoints the judges to the FISA court.  It is suspicious that this court would approve a spying operation on then candidate Trump, when the evidence was not verified, and was salacious. That according to FBI Director Comey, who didn't bother to assure the court that the evidence was verified, and didn't care in any case.  This was Comey's own words.

The practical effect of Roberts' decision to overturn 200 years of precedents is to encourage the continuing effort to swamp the country with illegal immigrants, so that they will vote against any effort to defend the border.

Is it not to sabotage the foreign policy of Trump so that he cannot be allowed to succeed at what he does in office?  The ruling by Roberts almost guarantees chaos in the court system.  The Supreme Court has to have the final say, but Roberts refuses to allow this.

Why would the Supreme Court fail in its duties if it is not to destabilize the country?

What ever happened to stare decisis?  They sure seem to care about that when it comes to abortion, but now it is nowhere to be seen.

In so doing, he opens up the court system to enormous mischief.  The Court is the ultimate guardian of stability.  With this leg knocked off from under our government, the meaning is clear.  The chaos will be blamed once again on Trump, who has nothing to do with this.

Clearly, the Establishment wishes to overturn the Trump Presidency, and they want to appear within the law while they do it.  They are not within the law anymore if they are going to overturn 200 years worth of precedents just because Trump is in the White House.

However, if sanity is to prevail, and chaos is to be avoided, it must be made as clear as possible that this is a coup attempt.  They are quite determined, and they will have to matched in determination if this coup attempt is to be stopped.

A coup attempt is unlawful by definition.   The problem here is that the plotters are attempting to make this appear to be in support of the rule of law.  They are doing this in direct opposition to the rule of law.

How can this coup be stopped? It is not clear that it can without violence, or the threat of violence.

It is getting that bad, and that urgent.   Somebody or something has to make these people reconsider what they are doing.

But there will be no violent Civil War.  The public is unlikely to support a shooting war.

Instead, there is this coup.  The real Civil War is the coup attempt going on in Washington DC at this very time.

The reaction afterward will just be a mopping up operation.

If those who think they can fight the government when it holds all the power, they are kidding themselves.  If the rule of law is to prevail, the plotters must be stopped, and it looks like it is not succeeding because the normal channels are breaking down.

That is to say that the coup attempt will succeed, and it will be mostly, if not totally bloodless. That makes it a Cold Civil War. Or a soft coup.  In any case, unless the public gets inflamed with passion, there will no shooting war.

Not that that cannot happen. It just isn't happening at the moment.
