Something's going on

 

With respect to this blog. I won't go into specifics, but there does appear to be some monkey business out there.


Just saying that so that if anyone is wondering about anything.


Update a bit later...


Ok, I'll describe the situation briefly. There's a huge discrepancy in the audience numbers from figures that Google supplies itself. Both of these cannot be right. So it is saying something that these numbers do not add up. What it says I don't know.



No credibility on the left

Question:

 

Who is David Hogg, really? Generally speaking, I don't give these school shootings much of my attention. If the schools wanted to stop school shootings, they could. My thinking is that they'd rather posture about anything bad that happens, and are really okay with them happening as long as the shootings could be exploited for politics. That's what it seemed to me to be like with this David Hogg. He parlayed his "victimhood" into celebrity, which is the only claim to fame that he has. He has made a career out of hiding in the closet while a mass shooter was on the loose. Big hero.


Schools could stop it by hiring security. It probably costs less to hire a few security guards than it does to hire a teacher, or especially an administrator. Anyway, David Hogg has no credibility. He is the archetype of the left, who can't get beyond their professional victimhood. They cannot offer alternatives that actually work to solve real problems in the real world.



Who is Joy Behar?

 

This woman runs the TV Show called The View. Or she co-hosts it with Whoopi Goldberg. Whatever, just making it clear who I'm referring to.


The question arose as to who this woman is. She appears to be of Italian descent. Her name sounds Spanish, but is not written that way. Her maiden name is more Italian sounding ( not that I know that much about Italians).


She may be Roman Catholic, or once was. Actually, the Roman Catholics are having an identity crisis of their own. In my opinion, they've lost the plot, like so many others in Western Civilization.


Now she is married to a guy named "Janowitz". Is that Jewish? If so, why did she retain the name "Behar"?


This is what I could find in a few searches. I suppose I could find more, but a general impression emerges here. She makes her living trashing traditional America. Why wouldn't she? She isn't of the group of peoples who are what most of traditional America used to be--- white Anglo-Saxon Protestants.


But that era of the WASP has gone on by. Upon what will you build a civilization then? The Greeks and the Romans! That's what I saw on TeeVee yesterday. The Founders studied the ancients. The WASPS weren't around back then. America was largely organized upon the basis of civilization that had nothing to do with Behar likes to screech against. When she does do what she does, it is on the whole no different than what the WASPS did. What a hypotwit.



Jamaal Bowman is claiming to be unfairly treated?

 Wasn't this guy caught doing something improper at an exit/entrance to the Capitol Building in DC, and then LYING about it?




He claims that Mamdami is a victim of a slur, but isn't he just lying again in order to escape responsibility?


There is a saying that is apt here. Tell a lie about a conservative, and he'll get mad. Tell the TRUTH about a leftist, and they'll get mad.


The left cares nothing for the truth. The truth is in their way. Communism teaches you that it is okay to lie, if it advances their cause. Communism is about class warfare. In Warfare, the truth is the first casualty. How can the left wage class warfare without lying about themselves and their true intentions?


The left hates this country. It is all over everything they say and do. The left needs to fool people in order to have cover for their nefarious deeds.

Recent mayoral primary in the Big Apple may not be what it is cracked up to be



6/27/25:

GenZ did it! To zero in a bit further, a dollar to a donut that it is some dumb-ass white girl liberals who did it. Maybe even Jewish white girls. They need some "meaning" for their lives. /snark



6/26/25:

There may be an opportunity there for the former Guardian Angel Republican challenger.

Note:  X is blocking my embeds now.   Therefore, there's just this link.



Update a little while later. Looks like I will be using the Truth site more, so I introduce my new digs at Truth with this embedded "truth".





DOJ employee who got fired was undermining POTUS

NOTE: Looks like I can embed this post, but the blockage of others continues.

 



DataRepublican 1, CODEPINK 0

6/27/25:


Codepink will sue...


Seems like I read somewhere that China really wants to suppress ANY criticism of it. With that in mind, the lawsuit begins to make sense. As an example, Disney is scared shitless of the Chinese... Won't meantion any of the three "T's".


6/26/25:


This victory only matters if the truth matters. Unfortunately, truth is a bit hard to find these days. Especially in the Establishment Media.

 



Judicial Supremacy may have lost one at SCOTUS, but a problem remains

 

Is Trump really fighting the Judicial Supremacists hard enough?



The Post Christian West is deeply uninterested...

 

Why is that?



Should illegals count in the census?

 There's the law, then there's common sense.  Common sense would recognize at least some limits to what the Democrats can do to evade the spirit and letter of the law.


Comment:


Trump wants to exclude them all.  Democrats will want to include them all.  Could there be a compromise?  Yeah, I would think so.  But it may not end well.  The 3/5ths compromise did not work out too well.

AOC isn't the problem

 

Gullible people who fall for her schtick are the problem. Sowell does a great job here, but who will see it? Only the intelligent and well-informed will see it. The gullible will fall for AOC, just watch. The gullibles are those who for whatever reason, will not inform themselves; or for whatever reason cannot inform themselves. Leftists take advantage of the weaknesses of gullible human beings; or the complacency of the rest who could oppose them, but won't. The leftists are far worse predators than any capitalist ever thought about being.



Land grab? Maybe that has already happened

Here's a long essay on a subject that interests me somewhat, but that I don't know enough about in order to make a reasoned opinion at this time.

 

It is about public land sales in the West.


Texas was mentioned, and I can discuss a bit about that. When Texas entered the union, it retained control over its public lands. This is not the case for many states out West. Consequently, the Federal government controls the lands out west. Therefore, the issue has been raised in the recent budget talks as a means to solve a few problems with the sale of these public lands.


In addition, there may have been some mention ( not in this essay, but I did not finish reading it ), of the MINERAL RIGHTS in these lands. The MINERAL RIGHTS can be very valuable.


Locking up these MINERAL RIGHTS may not be such a good idea. That is where I'll throw my two cents in.


Lefties love to keep the lands public. Crooks and traitors might be willing to part with these lands in order to enrich themselves at the expense of the rest of the country. Lefties might prevent some of that, but at what cost?


Naturally, a decent person wouldn't want bad people making public policy. But no policy should be sacred, particularly if that policy is part of the problems that we are having. Our current policy in many respects, leaves a lot to be desired.


That's all for now.




Are the Amish capitalists or socialists?

At first blush, it would seem to be a silly question. If you asked an Amish, they'd probably look at you sideways, and ask you what you mean. They don't teach Amish these things, I'd imagine. It has no relevance to them.

 

It's still a worthwhile question. The people are acting collectively, which is a socialist idea. But they own their own properties, which is a capitalist idea.

 

Even the Pilgrims tried socialism by making the land collectively owned. But it didn't work. Rush Limbaugh discussed this is his book "The Way Things Ought To Be".

 

There are admirable things about the Amish way of doing things. However, I have no great hankering to become one of them.

 

The average person should not look to Washington DC for answers. The Democrats are the party of top-down government, which is a really bad way of doing things.

 

Rather, America should be a place where the Amish can show you another way of organizing a community, and it doesn't have to involve Washington DC much, if at all. But Washington DC being the way it is, will probably try to go after the Amish in the future.

 

The political left may pretend to give a damn about the people, but it is all a great big fat lie.

 

Let the people go.

Party in the CIA --- Weirdly Al

They really didn't bomb those Eye-Rainians, did they??? Nobody even got wasted. No dead bodies means it was a fake. Note:I forgot the snark tag... Or did I have to mention it??? You don't think I would really knock the CIA, didja? Or didn'tja? heh.

 



Are white progressives racists?

 Their political gatherings aren't very inclusive.  /snark

I'm not Lord Vader. I can't back that up.

Never did master that choking maneuver. Too bad. It would've really come in handy sometimes.

So what if Trump bombed the Iranians?

 

Nobody complained when Nixon raised the notch up to Defcon 3! To save Israel. By the way, I remember it well, cuz I'm an old fart now. Cry me a river, lefties.

His actions in the 1973 Yom Kippur War were instrumental in ensuring Israel’s survival.

Don't be so impressed with these technological terrors

 

Just watched an episode on Tubi, which was about the feats of the ancients. The ancients built acqueducts, pyramids, monuments, and moved impossibly large objects without machines.


The modern world is overly impressed with its machines. This may bore people, but when I was in high school, you had a choice of using a slide rule or a calculator while taking a test. Calculators back then were pretty expensive, and I couldn't afford one. So I had to use a slide rule. But not to be ashamed. Slide rules were used extensively in putting a man on the moon.


I'm still not impressed with AI, but I worry a bit about it. If it does reach its hyped capabilities, it may become a danger. Even if that danger is avoided, I worry that people are becoming too dependent upon these machines.


People can still do amazing things without the machines. If we become too dependent upon machines, what happens if someone pulls the plug? You can't pull the plug on a slide rule, but a computer needs a source of power. If you pull the plug on a computer, it is useless.


Reminds me of this scene from Star Wars:




Ideology can make you stupid

3/27/16:  I can think of nothing more ridiculous than this.

Enough of this stupid shit.  ( 6/24/25:  link isn't good anymore.  must not have aged well, but they are liars anyway.)

You can allow guns at the convention, but they must be police officers.  Not ordinary people..

I am for the 2nd amendment, but this is ideological idiocy.  Common sense should prevail.

This is one for this list.


Trump flips the script

 

Schumer called him "TACO", which meant that "Trump Always Chickens Out". It was a poorly prepared dish, as Surber says that TACO really means that "Trump Always Confuses Opponents". And now Trump is eating their lunch.

Beware of the company you keep

In addition, who you do business with. Trump's critics sound quite disloyal to me. Not a loyal opposition at all. Update later.... Ah! Someone says what I just tried to say, and does it so well. Why align yourself with the Axis of Bad?

Hobgoblins

6/23/25:

The thought occurred to me that the Democrats cannot do a better job of promoting Trump than what they are doing.

Trump announces Cease-fire in the Iran-Israel war. Our part in it was supposed to cause another trillion dollar boondoggle of nation building. But that hasn't happened, and won't happen. The hobgoblin is the non-stop opposition to anything that makes sense, especially if it is promoted by the Orange Man Bad.

The end of the nuclear missile ambitions of the ayatollas seems like a no-brainer. Why would anybody oppose that? But there are those who will oppose it on the basis of some sort of "principle" which has no evidence in reality. I'm writing this poorly, and words are failing me lately. Basically, the left is opposing Trump just to be opposing him. Fellow GOP'ers are joining in on some notion that this military operation is a bad thing, which does not make a whole lot of sense once you consider the benefits. I suppose the idea is that we all must suffer a lot of nonsense in order to be good people. Balderdash!

5/8/21:



Seems like there is this quote out there that says something to the effect that a "foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds." That correlates into the latest blurb I've seen on the web about the big miss on the employment report. The blurb said that the White House thinks that this is evidence of not enough spending.

That is enough to gobsmack Godzilla. Not enough spending?! Yeah, it qualifies as a real live hobgoblin. If these small minded people think that there's not enough spending, then who or what can say otherwise?

Fact, evidence, reason are all going out the window. Full blown insanity has taken over. The big question is this: how long are they going to be allowed to do this before somebody puts their foot down?

If the Liz Cheney types want to let go on this way, there may not be anything left before the sanity resumes.

Message to liberals: If you thought that a million jobs were going to be created in April, but it was only one quarter that, it may be time to rethink your plans. You'd think. Time to shake free of the Hobgoblins.

The recent military action was a good thing



Lately I wrote that I had something of a writer's block. Maybe a kick in the pants was needed. Not sure that this was true, but perhaps it was.



The kick in the pants is the worry about my own country. If there was anything that should unite the country, it should be that it is under threat. The left loves to do this by saying the threat is from the so-called political right. I've written many, many times that this is a demonstration of leftist politics. That we should be talking about freedom, not left versus right. That Ronald Reagan said that in his famous speech that launched his political career, and that people should take it to heart.

People don't see that threat. It may be the case then, that this blog has failed. However, this blog is tiny in size. For as far as I can tell, I may be the only one in this country that is defending that point of view.

You will hear the constant propaganda of the political left on the media. But the so-called political right does have some voice on the internet. Of course, the political left would like to shut that down. They did in fact shut it down to a certain extent during the Biden Administration.

In recent polls, assuming that they are accurate, which may or may not be the case, a majority of the older generation, of which I am a part, tend to trust the media. What a disaster that is!

If it weren't for the relative freedom of the internet, the freedom of this country will have died already.

By the way, why do I write the way I do? I shall describe something of myself to give readers an understanding of where I am coming from...

I began schooling when prayer in school was still legal. Each day began with the Lord's Prayer. We recited the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag. Christopher Columbus was still a hero, not a villain. Homosexuality was not only a sin, it was a mental illness. The idea of same sex marriage would have been considered a joke. Men competing with females would have seem bizarre.

Therefore, to me it is a disaster that the majority in my generation have allowed themselves to persuaded to be a part of something that is diametrically opposed to those characteristics of our nation when we were still just beginning in life. Our generation has repudiated their own history. Why would we do that??? I think it is propaganda of the media that many in my generation have accepted as being true.

Therefore, America is a bad place, and my generation believes it! Why??? We weren't taught to hate our own country. But the left surely has been successful in turning my generation against its own country. That's why it is a disaster. We should be a bedrock, but instead, we are a weak link.

I look at my own family members of my generation, and I am absolutely aghast at how easily they have accepted a lot of communist propaganda. They wouldn't have done that in the sixties. Not a chance! Why now?

Perhaps they believe what they see on that old boob tube. It is not called a boob tube for nothing.

But we should know better than that. It is an increasing disaster. It's not likely to get better either.

The left may well make the recent military action into a great crime. I don't know how it should be considered a crime to defend your own country. But that is where we are today.

The political left has done this to us. Why can't we see it? It is a matter of great puzzlement to me.

Why would people listen to enemies? Where is my generation? It is lost like the rest of the nation... I'm not sure we are going to get it back. But I'm glad that there is somebody trying.





Checking in, 6/22/25


The drought in posts continues. Yet, I must put something out there, lest anyone think the blog has died. The news of the death of this blog is greatly exaggerrated. I intend to keep going.


The problem is what do you say when you don't really know what to say? The best thing when you don't know what to say is to say nothing. But you don't always have that luxury.

 

The reaction to the bombing of Iranian complex, in which it appears that the Iranians sought an atom bomb, has something of a logic to it. But why not mention a whole-hearted approval?

 

One cannot be glad when one approves of violence visited upon another. But what else can you do with someone who has proven again and again that they will resort to violence, and that appears to be what kind of regime that Iran has now? You could hope for better behavior from them, but the evidence shows otherwise.

 

I'm not suggesting one get guilt-ridden over the matter. The political left likes to do this, especially of the dropping of the Atom bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It is regrettable, but is it better to have let the Japanese off the hook? The Japanese were horrific in World War II. You cannot judge the way they are today, and compare it with how they would've reacted back then. Based upon what was known about them at the time, they would've fought ferociously for as long as they were able.

 

As for Iran, we've been hoping that they would eventually become reasonable, but that doesn't appear to be the case. When they reached for the atomic "gun", the only possible course of action was to take the gun away from them. Iran still stands. Hopefully, reason will prevail. But we are not gifted with perfect knowledge of the future, and hindsight is 20-20 as the saying goes.

 

 

Update a few hours later...

 

All of the above comment was made before the world reactions to the strike... There will be a blowback effect, and that is the wild card here.

 

Iran and its allies are in a geopolitical struggle with the USA and its block. It's a bit like Cold War 2. The first Cold War involved a number of proxy wars involving the communist block and the "free world". I use the term "free world" because there "free world" has lost its way.

 

Cold War 2.0 may go a different way than the first one. As the USA has moved to less free, the commie world has moved more towards free markets. It's a more even fight.

 

It shouldn't have been, but there it is.
