Seen on Ace of Spades, HQ. It is contrasted with Status-Quoism.
Do you think things are broken, then you are of the Brokenism type. If you think we can muddle through, then you are the Status-Quo type.
As for yours truly, I think brokenism is what defines what a Christian is. We are all broken--we are sinners. When compared with the situation in our country, I think it may compare with the Fall of the Roman Empire in the West, AD 476 or so. Things are changing, but they always are. What's here today won't be here tomorrow. Certainly, the USA was a different place when I was a wee boy back in the sixties.
Especially with how I feel today. Not been a good day, physically.

J6th was a set up.
The video makes it look like it was set up so that she could bring charges. In other words, it was a set up. People need to remember that the riot was needed in order to bring the challenges to a close, and to end all possibilities of Trump being successful in that. The Supreme Court said the case had no standing, but if the challenges had been allowed to go through, maybe it would have, and we'd have had a different outcome on J6th.
WOW!! Nancy Pelosi got caught on a hot mic on Jan 6th. "I've been WAITING FOR THIS, for trespassing on Capitol grounds."

What about this Springfield Ohio story?
9/14/24; 3:08 PM
Cat Eaters of Ohio? Are they related to the Werewolves of London?
8:04 AM
Of course there's the debate reference again. Trump talks about them eating pets and animals in Springfield. So, armed with my Snopes thingie, I go to check that out. According to Snopes, the story is unfounded.
But something's going on there, isn't there? I recall seeing a story about reporters going there to check things out, and did a search on it. I found this Western Journal article here. So you can go there and see them talking about their stories.
Based upon just this much research, yes, there's definitely something going on there. Don't know about the pets and animals being eaten, but there's definitely a huge influx of immigrants into the place. Also, this is being driven primarily by federal policy.
The worst thing to me is that they'll try to win the election from these people being allowed to vote. It is plain and simple corruption at the very least.

There won't be another debate
9/13/24; 8:49 PM
Kamala Harris cannot possibly be serious about wanting another debate. She is in the BASEMENT. There hasn't been anything substantive that has come from her at all. The mis-called debate did nothing to change this.
She cannot expect Donald Trump to agree with her demands to do debates her way. In fact, there is little reason for Trump to debate her. If he's really behind, he'd want to. But he says no more debates. Would Trump agree to a debate according to his own preferences? Maybe. Otherwise, why? The only reason is if he behind in the polls. But if he was behind her, then WHY WOULD SHE want another debate?
The mis-called debate will not have a long shelf life even if she got a bounce, which she doesn't appear to have gotten. There will be lots of time to analyze the debate, and whatever benefit that might have accrued from a strong performance will be lost by election day. It may even sour on people. Indeed, this mis-called debate SHOULD sour on people. She's not hiding in the basement for nothing. She cannot possibly be serious.
9/11/24; 8:55 PM
She couldn't possibly be serious about another debate. It is only getting worse for her. She is better off in the basement!

More debate stuff
Kamala Harris did mention Charlottesville yet again. I'm not much into fact-checking, such as the one-sided "fact-checking" that went on in Tuesday's debate. Kamala's buddies failed to mention this had been debunked by Snopes. Snopes is well-regarded fact-checking site, so this should be laid to rest. No censorship required.
Meanwhile, some dude (not the actor) challenged the bias and really stepped into it.

Ukraine question in the debate and RFK's tweet on the subject
This question came up in the so-called debate on Tuesday. David Muir asked if it is in our best interest to win in Ukraine. HOLD THE TAPE! Are we at war, or did I miss something?
How do you win in Ukraine? What does victory look like? Can a victory come from force of arms? If so, then somebody needs to tell the generals we are at war, and it is time to put boots on the ground. Of course, nobody in the right mind is really prepared to do that, or we'd have a national mobilization going on right now.
Trump mentioned nuclear weapons. Of course. Do you think the Russians would accept a military defeat and stand down in the use of their vast stockpile of nuclear weapons? Are we prepared to use ours if victory cannot be obtained with conventional arms? Of course not.
In the end, if Russia doesn't use nukes, then do we go into Ukraine? Can we win that way? This country isn't prepared for a conventional war and will balk at using nukes unless a NATO country is attacked.
The Democrats are just playing politics with war. The question's premise is that a war is winnable. Is it really?

If Kamala Harris really wants another debate
She should make Trump an offer to debate without her usual props to help her out. She insisted upon ABC, if there is to be a next time, it will be on at least neutral ground.

A few more things about the Harris-Trump debate
That recent post had a piece of info was a revelation to yours truly. What if that had been used in the debate? Which is to say, that the female moderator was a sorority sister to Kamala Harris, and she was good friends with the news chief at ABC. That's really weird how Kamala Harris only wanted to do a debate on ABC.
It strikes ME as weird. I don't know about anyone else, but she sure does seem to have a confidence problem, or appears to have one. She brings along her running mate on the one interview she had, no other press appearances or new conferences, and then this. Or is there some deeper strategy involved?
Whatever the reason, she got what she wanted, and maybe the effects she wanted. Another softball appearance, that had the look of a debate. She is given a look of competence that she may not have deserved.
There's suspicions out there that she may have gotten some of the questions in advance. It helps a lot with preparation, I would think, to have the questions in advance.
She could memorize speeches that may sound like answers to questions. She could beat the rap of not thinking well on her feet that she's been getting.
Trump isn't going to get her in that position because the media will cover for her. There's talk about an investigation, but I wouldn't bet on it getting anywhere. It does look suspicious. There has to be a reason why she wanted only ABC and there's these friends of hers there.
We could be getting a truly empty pant suit here. You'd think people would want to know that, but maybe not.

Meh, it wasn't that bad. Actually Trump did well
If there's any complaint that I'd have, is that info about Harris being good friends with a moderator, and the news chief at ABC would have been helpful PRIOR to the debate. That he wouldn't get fair treatment was a GIVEN though. That's why I skipped it.

My own impression of the debate.
I watched the Harris-Trump debate just now. That is, I watched it up to the commercial break before breaking off and writing this. A quick comment here. Trump did fine. Harris did okay (for her). I don't get the criticism of Trump, but I do get that Harris was typically dishonest. The moderators didn't have that big of an effect because Trump can handle himself. If you have to depend upon moderators, it must mean you're weak. Harris, if she were strong, would have no trouble with Fox moderators. I don't know if I'll watch the rest of it. Maybe later.
Updated a few hours later...
After reviewing the transcript, I can at least say that I've seen it myself. There's a number of those on Trump's side that expressed discontent with his performance. I thought he did great, but it may not be enough by itself.
Perhaps one thing should be emphasized. Kamala Harris is the type who will say whatever she thinks you want to hear. Trump is what he is. You know what you're getting with either one, if your eyes are open. But certain people I suspect would prefer to be lied to. I think those that vote for Trump expect to get what he promises. Harris is not as sure a bet.

One thing you could try is a minimalist role for the moderators. How? Candidates could ask each other questions. Nothing unfair about that. But really risky for both.

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris Debate in Philadelphia
9/11/24;
7:44 PM
This is the verdict of the so-called debate.
7:23 PM
Only one question ( or comment ). Is ABC lying about abortion? Victory Girls think so.
1:09 PM
I'm checking out the reactions to the debate from others, as opposed to actually watching it myself.
Whoa! Sounds like I'm checking my brain in at the door, eh? Nope... Doesn't really matter what I think about it. Besides, it doesn't change my mind in the least. I'm curious about what others think about it. Besides, it confirms what I suspected about it from the beginning. Nothing here to suggest that it was other than what I thought it would be. Just another highly scripted fake media event intended to make Kamala Harris look as good as she can be made to look. This is about as good as it will get for her. Time will tell if it is enough.
7:14 AM Donald Trump and Kamala Harris Debate in Philadelphia
Missed the debate (on purpose). These aren't debates. They are media events, mostly contrived to help Democrats. From the description, that is what happened last night. We'll probably have to wait to see who "won". If the public buys into what the media keeps pushing, then Harris probably can be said to have won.
In a real debate, she would have been in serious trouble. That's why I didn't bother watching it. It's a fake debate. It was always going to be a fake debate. Even the debate with Biden was fake, because there was nothing they could do to keep Biden afloat.

Abortion is a fake issue
9.11.24
A question was asked of JD Vance, and he said that it was a "media myth" or something to that effect. Could it be true that it is a media myth, or is the media asking the question to the wrong people?
There are those on the GOP side that seem to think that Trump went soft on the issue. So, is the so-called abortion ban a thing, or no?
As far as Trump is concerned, it is. Why ask JD Vance, then? Trump has been quite clear on this issue. It won't pass anyway, because of a filibuster in the Senate. In order to make this so-called abortion ban law, it will take at least 60 Senators, plus the House, and the President. If Trump is President, or even Kamala Harris, they will have to override the veto. That's two thirds of both Houses. The odds of anything like that are just about zero. I say it is a phony issue. But that is all they've got. Quick update: And there's this about the Virginia governor.
9.10.24:
This country is not always a nice, big, happy family. In those cases, you might want to ease up when the heat is on.
Since we are in the silly season, the heat can said to be on. So a few thoughts on one subject that came to mind, and that is the abortion issue.
Is this issue really that important though? It seems to me that the Dobbs decision was a good enough solution for most people. But there are those who will be unhappy with it.
Democrats want to pack the courts so that they can undo Dobbs and reinstate Roe v Wade. The risk there is that they may well do a lot more than just that. By the way, packing the courts will do away with any chance at checks and balances. How does that square with democracy? That's another one of the Democrats' fake issues.
What would happen if the GOP took both houses and the Presidency? There may be an attempt to ban abortion in all of the nation. Dobbs doesn't do that, but there's no stopping the state legislatures from doing it. However, that is unlikely. Hence, some on the pro-life side may want to ban it everywhere. Trump has said that he will veto it, so the risk may be that he would break that promise. But Trump sticks with his word, so I think for the pro-abortion crowd, there is little risk that Trump would sign a bill that bans it in all the country.
Actually, even if the GOP runs the table and gets all branches, there is still little risk that a nationwide abortion ban will be enacted in Congress. The GOP will need 60 votes in the Senate in order to overcome the certain filibuster. The more likely outcome is that Dobbs will be overruled by either a Democrat controlled Congress and a Democrat president. It will overruled in either Congress or the packed Supreme Court. The Dems are on record for wanting to pack the Court.
My point here is that there is more of a risk to Democracy over the issue of abortion than there is to a Donald Trump presidency and a GOP Congress. That's because the Democrats will have a free hand to implement all of what they want in addition to abortion. They can use the Courts or they can enact it into law. The odds are against a GOP Congress getting a nation-wide ban on abortion, and the Courts won't be packed with anti-abortion zealots anyway. It took 50 years to get a modest check on abortion like what Dobbs is.
Where's the problem, then? Abortion could be the fulcrum upon which the future of the nation is leveraged. It would be unfortunate for the Democracy if certain people in the GOP pushed the Democrats into the issue, and the Democrats used it to push their way into a one party totalitarian state. That is the biggest risk of all.
As for the GOP, they may not care about anything except that abortion issue on the basis of morality. But how does it serve morality to lose the country? At least you have Dobbs now. I think Trump has it right. Nobody needs to worry about this, except for the those on the "extreme". I'd say packing the court is rather extreme to solve a problem that really doesn't exist. Women can get an abortion even with Dobbs, and aren't likely to lose that choice no matter who wins. But we could lose choices in a lot of other areas if this issue is allowed to determine the future of the nation.

Lite posting for awhile
6:14 PM
I didn't think I'd have anything to blog today, but no, I am back again. It just shows to go ya that you should not act or speak hastily, as you may say or do something you might regret later.
But I won't post it here. Just had a thought, so something will be posted before shutting down for the night.
Until then.
9:04 AM
Maybe I spend too much time here, writing for this blog. Just now, I checked my visitor stats, and none of the most popular posts was about anything that took some thought for me to post.
I don't know about you people out there. I don't know about me either, for writing all this time, for an audience that isn't even here. if they are, they are awfully damned quiet.
We are in the middle of an election campaign that, if you believe what you hear, will change this country for good. If you believe the Democrats, you'd be motivated to vote for what you believe is democracy. You can believe that if you wish, but if you believe it, you haven't given it much thought. Harris didn't participate in any primaries, and the Democrats made sure that RFK Junior couldn't challenge Biden. Some "democracy", eh?
On the other hand, if you believe the MAGA folks, it will be a one party state if Harris wins. Well, I think that goes without saying. Even the Democrats wouldn't argue that one. All you have to do is read Krugman's book, the Conscience of a Liberal, to see that the Democrats will brook no dissent. If you have to defenestrate the Constitution and a Loyal Opposition, then you end up with a one party state--guaranteed.
Whatever you people believe, it is clear that something is going to change. Pretty soon too. I suppose if a piano is about to fall out of a window, something will change pretty quickly. The piano will be turned into junk. Anybody standing below it isn't going to be in good shape either. Best thing to do, is to get out of the way. Maybe that is about all you can do when the sheet heets the fan, main.
I'm not going away, though. I may have to change with the times, too. No matter what you may do, that's the one thing that you can count on. Things never stay the same forever.
This will my last post today, unless I get a real inspiration. Not that that will matter any. So later, ya'll.

But I won't post it here. Just had a thought, so something will be posted before shutting down for the night.
Until then.
9:04 AM
Maybe I spend too much time here, writing for this blog. Just now, I checked my visitor stats, and none of the most popular posts was about anything that took some thought for me to post.
I don't know about you people out there. I don't know about me either, for writing all this time, for an audience that isn't even here. if they are, they are awfully damned quiet.
We are in the middle of an election campaign that, if you believe what you hear, will change this country for good. If you believe the Democrats, you'd be motivated to vote for what you believe is democracy. You can believe that if you wish, but if you believe it, you haven't given it much thought. Harris didn't participate in any primaries, and the Democrats made sure that RFK Junior couldn't challenge Biden. Some "democracy", eh?
On the other hand, if you believe the MAGA folks, it will be a one party state if Harris wins. Well, I think that goes without saying. Even the Democrats wouldn't argue that one. All you have to do is read Krugman's book, the Conscience of a Liberal, to see that the Democrats will brook no dissent. If you have to defenestrate the Constitution and a Loyal Opposition, then you end up with a one party state--guaranteed.
Whatever you people believe, it is clear that something is going to change. Pretty soon too. I suppose if a piano is about to fall out of a window, something will change pretty quickly. The piano will be turned into junk. Anybody standing below it isn't going to be in good shape either. Best thing to do, is to get out of the way. Maybe that is about all you can do when the sheet heets the fan, main.
I'm not going away, though. I may have to change with the times, too. No matter what you may do, that's the one thing that you can count on. Things never stay the same forever.
This will my last post today, unless I get a real inspiration. Not that that will matter any. So later, ya'll.

Feel the bern? Socialist Sanders okays Harris' astroturf campaign as "pragmatic"
They like to use flowery words like "ideals" and "progressive". These are just soft words for communism.
Here's a clip where Kamala Harris' version of Corn Pop. But I noticed how she used a flowery word for "reproductive health care." Meaning abortion.
Lefties are inherently dishonest.
This might be the most damaging clip of the election for Kamala

Dems sound alarm bells over comrade Kamala
Little wonder why she is being so quiet. Little wonder why the MSM is hiding her like the stowaway that she is.
Three powerful Dems sound major alarm bells over Comrade Kamala’s plans to BUTCHER social media… https://t.co/49rMFomIqW Comment:

Without the MSM, the Dems would be in trouble. Without a way to counter the lies of the MSM and the Dems, free speech is in trouble and liberty too.
The real Kamala Harris
12:00 PM
Even though she didn't a teleprompter here, she still talks in word salads. About all she can say here is "they're not gonna stop". I'm wondering if she'll ever stop speaking in word salads.

She's not the stuff of the middle class, she was raised in a well-to-do household. Priviledged, you might say.

The wealthy? The wealth is paper wealth
If the Federal Reserve actually would follow a stable price policy, the "economy" would shrink into a raisin. All the juice is in this pumped up money supply. The economy is running on deficit spending and debt creation. There's no real wealth creation because all the job creation is related to a growing government---not the private sector.
HOLY SH*T 🚨 Robert F. Kennedy Jr just exposed Kamala Harris with Tucker Carlson and Vivek 🔥

A long running theme of this blog
Here's a tweet about how Robert Reich wanting to shut down SpaceX. For what? For disagreeing with him?
Musk isn't the one who's crazy. Musk isn't out of control. It's the government. The government stands in the way of actual material progress. Instead they pitch the most reactionary of ideas of massive controls over people, something that should be obsolete, but has now reared its ugly head once again in human affairs.
Freedom won in 1776 was a radical new concept at the time. Perhaps it should not be trashed just because a few reactionaries who want their tyranny back, and are having a temper tantrum.
I used to write a turn of phrase about it. I wrote "Houston, we have a solution". Actually, I think we've got a problem. We are relying too much upon government and machines to do what we should do for ourselves. Solutions aren't possible if some government officials are going to stand in the way for the sake of their own sense of importance and relevance. The only real relevance here is whether or not the public is going to say enough already, and vote the bums out. That is, if the government hasn't destroyed that possibility too.

Robert Reich wants the US to cut ties with SpaceX https://t.co/fvN5vP1IK8 Comment: This is a lesson of why we haven't solved big problems for a long time now. Here is someone doing it, and the big government types want to shut him down.

Only the kid's hair dresser knows for sure
Did the kid do the he-ing and she-ing, or the he-ing and he-ing? Or would you know even if you had the birth certificate? Crazy days.
Suspected Apalachee High Killer Reportedly Motivated to Kill Over 'Trans Acceptance' https://t.co/5awfzOaVk5 Comment: I've read conflicting reports about the kid. The author of this tweet sees a pattern, and if he's right, that ought to be an issue, but not gun control.

Local Texas authorities fine SpaceX for dumping potable water in Boca Chica

Why does this Texas agency do this? Where's the Texas legislature? Or the governor? Aren't they Republicans?

Tucker screwed up
2:41 PM
I've often wondered what goes on in Jewish minds that they could vote for Democrats. Especially so after the terroristic attacks of 10/7/23.
Stupid stuff like this could be the reason why. The Jewish vote should belong to the GOP now, but nope. Stupid stuff like this could be why there are Jews who wouldn't vote Republican. It's stupid if you want to win this election. I guess they really don't.

I could wax philosophically over this. But never mind that. I think I've covered the issue before.
Of course the modern left relies upon the Hitler thing almost entirely.
The dumbest thing to do is to align yourself with anything having to do with that man. Indeed, the distance must be such that the Hitler spear will hit nothing or it will hit an impermeable shield.
Let's not fall into the groupthink that so typifies the modern left. Tucker Carlson is not perfect. But no one is. We Americans can take criticism without going into hysterics. The modern left, on the other hand, wants to shut up anybody and everything that doesn't comport with their blinkered views. Do we want to take that road? Incidentally, we can start by denouncing the idea that the choice is between the left versus the right. But then I'll start waxing philosophically, which isn't the point here.
The shameful Nazi apologism of the Very Online right https://t.co/QFR4zijhi0 Comment: Was this helpful or harmful thing for Tucker Carlson to do? The truth is a slippery thing. But I'll say it wasn't helpful.

David Hogg steps into it
He gets clobbered here:
I don’t think you’re the one to be talking about masculinity, kid.

Maybe address how leftist Democrat’s messaging has directly caused the disenfranchisement that you’re speaking about here.
Liz Cheney compares Kamala Harris to Reagan
Not an apt comparison. Will Harris ever say that Communist China will be put on the ash heap of history? That's what Reagan said about the Soviet Union. Will Harris ever cut taxes across the board like Reagan? Nope. Will Harris make the US military second to none? You'd have to be very gullible to believe anything that sounded like that.
Liz Cheney and the rest of her ilk are full of it.
Harris is more like the Bushes, who say anything to get elected. Like "read my lips, no new taxes". Or ride Reagan's coat-tails to victory, but falling flat on their faces when they are on their own.
