A little reality here

The corruption in California is blatant. It should make any decent person angry. A call to action may seem to be equivalent for a call to violence. But make no mistake. It is not the time for that.

Is it ever a time for violence? Yes. There's no doubt that there are times when violence may be the only response available.

But for me? No. I am in no condition for a physical fight. If I am unwilling or unable to fight, perhaps I shouldn't suggest fighting.

I cannot shoulder a weapon and march. Simply not possible. I can fire a gun. That much I can do. Anything physical. No.

Wars are for the young and able-bodied. We may be on the cusp of a war, or a surrender. Take your pick. This corruption is so blatant that it should be considered intolerable. But what can you do about it? What WOULD you do about it? What are you prepared to do about it? If history is any guide, there may be words and that's about it.

Words has gotten us nowhere. Just sayin'.

All I can do is defend my space. But that has always been the case. But that is easily defeated.

The Chicago Way

6/8/26:

We're swerving straight into the Chicago Way RIGHT NOW. What are you prepared to do?

Better do something about the blatant fraud taking place NOW. Failure theater won't cut it. We need RESULTS. NOW.

The reason I'm putting this up (9/9/24) was a couple lines there at the end.

1) God hates a coward, and

2) Do you know what a blood oath is? Because you just took one.

Another reason is that I don't know if anybody in this country is prepared for what may be coming down the pike, and very soon now. Playing it safe may not be an option.









Post script:

The Biden Administration sure acts like they are helpless in doing anything more than what they are doing in terms of preventing these assassination attempts. As Bongino noted, there's practically no accountability here, and now they are taking victory laps like they did something good, when the truth is that they didn't do a good job.

This is the kind of thing we are facing. An institutional Chicago Way, in which they are willing to DO and SAY ANY DAMNDED THING. Now they want to punish people and JAIL them for merely expressing an adverse opinion to their interests. Well, all good men should answer the call, because our country is at risk from something like that. Playing it safe may not be an option.

Laying that guilt trip on thick

6/8/26:

A thought: Guilt-tripping is suicidal empathy?  Update:   Probably not.  Continue:Most folks know about white guilt. It was spoken of during the Obama campaign in 2008. "White folks are so bad that they cannot be allowed to exist"--I've seen something like that on the web.

I can figure non-whites getting into that kind of hate-mode. But why would white people do it, or allow themselves to be brainwashed into it?

Maybe because they think it makes them good people. They're not good. They're stupid.

Never underestimate the power of stupid.

Ah, yes! Never say never unless it is a rule.

There is a girl from Germany who posts on YouTube. She talked about Adolf Hitler and World War II. When she got to the history of the event, she said something that reminded me of all the guilt tripping that has been laid upon the West. This is communist inspired, I suspect.

As usual, the left doesn't care about the Holocaust. They just want to use it as a political device that can gain them more power. Once you recognize this tactic, you may be able to start counter-acting it. Without any counter, you are totally defenseless against it.

There was a video posted here about how Hitler overthrew the Weimar Republic. The same kind of tactics are being employed today, which is quite an irony. The left wants to impose guilt so that they can get you to disarm yourselves, and become completely subjugated to their will. Hitler disarmed all Germans, it should be noted. Hitler had his Brownshirts. Hitler used his Brownshirts to quell opposition. At the end of the Weimar Republic, Hitler's Nazi Party was declared as the only legal party in Germany. As a coup de grace, Hitler had all allegiance sworn to him PERSONALLY.

Hitler's Brownshirts were led by a notorious homosexual, Ernst Roehm. When Roehm was no longer useful to him, he had Roehm liquidated. A Christian would not have done that. The commies have the homosexuals believing that Hitler was a Christian, and that Christians would have all homosexuals sent to the concentration camps and gassed. All fascists must be Christians, so all Christians are super guilty because they caused Hitler to come to power. Or so it goes.

Germany was put through a huge, huge guilt trip. That has spread all over the West. We are constantly reminded of the past, and how the West colonized the world. The West was responsible for slavery and degradation of the environment. You get the picture. All of this inspires GUILT. Guilt must be expiated somehow. What better way for an enemy to destroy you than to get you to blame all evil on your own existence? Then you commit suicide, as this is the only way to bring justice for all the harm you allegedly did. This is what is happening to the West. The West is characterized as evil, and the only justice is for it to be eradicated.

The appropriate way to address what Hitler did was not to go on some super duper guilt trip. It is to rationally deduce what went wrong, and to correct it so that it won't happen again. Evidently, that isn't happening, for many of the same things that brought down the Weimar Republic are happening right here in the USA this very day.

The US Supreme Court had the chance to address the issue of oaths of office in the elections controversy. They refused the case. If this was addressed, then the oath of office would be treated seriously, which it is not. If it is not treated seriously, then what prevents a private oath of loyalty, such as the one to Adolf Hitler, from being made? The Supreme Court failed us. If there is no importance to the oath, then what inspires loyalty to the document? Anything at all? If there's no loyalty to the founding document, then what is going to preserve it? This could explain the rapidly deteriorating civil liberties that is found in the USA today. If the oath is not preserved, then what preserves the right to vote, the right to free speech and association, and the rest of the Bill of Rights?

The political left has gotten a lot of political mileage out of the guilt tripping. These people make it a religion to feel so guilty. They feel holier than thou when they feel so guilty. But they solve nothing that caused what happened in Germany in the Third Reich. The errors that brought the Nazis to power are being repeated this very day. American democracy and freedom will not be preserved, because that is the Big Lie. The Big Lie is what the Nazis liked to employ, and that is being repeated here as well. The Big Lie is that the left cares about Democracy and Freedom. They only seek to use these words as a means to power. This is what they care about.

Wake up America.

original post

Aaron Sorkin has joined in the kick Palin chorus.  It's the old emotional manipulation of laying out the old guilt trip. Sorkin wants Palin to feel ultra guilty.

Sorkin was furious that the documentary showed Palin hunting and killing a caribou. Although she made it clear that she intended to eat the animal, according to Sorkin, she had committed an act of murder and torture. 

Notice how it has to be justified on the grounds that the animal had to be eaten in order for this to be acceptable.  But even that justification isn't even acceptable to Sorkin, who wants to push vegetarianism, if one is to take this to it logical conclusion.

Why does Palin have to justify herself to Sorkin?  Why should Palin have to justify herself in hunting caribou for whatever reason?  Who cares what Sorkin thinks?  Evidently, there are those who do.  Hence, the technique is used because it works.

The left can use this tactic in order to manipulate others.  It only works if you accept their moral authority.  But who gives Sorkin or any others like him the moral authority?  Question their authority, I say.  They don't have any unless you recognize it.

Here is an previous example that I posted on this phenomenon.

The Conservative Treehouse

Totally fraudulent election. Nothing more needs to be said.

Daily Update:

But the Supreme Court may say something about it. Soon enough to make a difference?

Trump's DOJ may do something about it, but is it failure theater?

Angry Astronaut is still angry

Angry mentions this article, I believe. Don't recall seeing a link in the description, but the article reads a lot like what Angry is saying in his video. Angry fails to mention that it MIGHT be a software issue, which the SpaceDaily article mentions in its last few paragraphs. If it is software, then it will be ready for flight in weeks, not months. If it is hardware, it could be months.

The flip maneuver was rather aggressive. If the flight data shows that a less aggressive move may be successful, would that be good enough to satisfy a mishap investigation? There was another video ( not linked here ) that speculated that the flip maneuver was off a bit. The grid fin caught the wake of the upper stage, when it wasn't supposed to do that.

This may be a relatively easy fix.

As for the New Glenn mishap, yet another video said that the damage wasn't as bad as initially thought, and the pad could be repaired by the end of this year. Not good, but not as bad either.

It's okay to be critical, but Angry doesn't give out much new information here. I thought that some new info emerged, but this doesn't give much new information, and leaves out some other information that could be mitigating in terms of his critical commentary.

Never underestimate the power of stupid

"Never recover?" Never say "never". But I just did that. But that's different. (it's a rule and a joke)

The Republicans Are Saps and Saps Deserve to Lose

Free Republic

Quote:

The Republicans are Boy Scouts of old, while the Democrats are Hell’s Angels.

We all know what they are, and I understand the anger, but it is cutting of your nose to spite your face.

That's how you get Democrats, and enough of that kind of thing, and we'll be tossed into wilderness forever. In such case, the only way out may be bloodshed. Is that what you want?

Be careful what you wish for.

The GOP should be chosen if the there are no better alternatives. I voted for McCain and Romney. Yes, I voted for Cornyn, too. But I was glad that Cornyn lost. When there was a better alternative, I voted for Cornyn. (correction: not this time!) I never liked McCain nor Romney. Was the zero a better choice?

While I understand the sentiment to boycott the GOP, I do not necessarily agree on the wisdom of such a move.
