Stupidity with a purpose

Woke life in the 21st Century ( Instapundit link)

Don't know exactly why. This thread didn't seem interesting until I started reading through the comments. It is then that I found this gem (below):



CIA manual on sabotage through "purposeful stupidity"

Does this mean that they really aren't as stupid as they look? It takes at least some intelligence to know what is stupid, and then to act that way. But some people do it naturally. When I saw that link, I went over to it, and I got this reaction that Charlie Brown had in a conversation with Lucy:

This is what Biden is protecting

There was a vote today in Congress. Nearly all Republicans voted for the condemnation of anti-Semitism. Less than half of Democrats did. There were 13 or so Democrats who voted FOR anti-Semitism.

Therefore, the following tweet should not be any big surprise. Islamic Jihad allows anything to be done to non-believers. The claim the right to do so.

So the GOP should go much further, and push this for all its worth. The Democrats are protesting this as a political effort to gain points. Well, getting points is what it is about. It is the way we have to ensure accountability. The Democrats want to avoid accountability, and complain when they are being held accountable.

Not only that, they are gaslighting the public. Their claim is that if you don't accept their outrages, then something is wrong with YOU. For example, you are called an Islamophobe.

A phobia is an irrational fear. If it is irrational not to want to be raped or murdered, then one would have to wonder what IS rational. Clearly, Islamists think this kind of behavior is not only acceptable, but their right.

There should no quarter given to this kind of thinking. It is no different from Adolf Hitler's Third Reich. Indeed, it it quite rational to FEAR that this could become normal in the USA. No way that this should happen here. We should care about what happens in Israel because of what happened on 9-11-2001 in THIS country. Those people think ANYBODY is fair game. That also means all of us, including Americans. Very much so.

Perhaps a comment on this from a women’s organization? Any organization? ….. crickets https://t.co/Ziim1SF1wG

This 9-11 video has to be included here. People need to be reminded of this. It happened here.

False equivalences again

Clearly, Sen. Chucky Schemer would rather have Putin run through Europe, as he claims, than to secure the US border.

Chucky ain't the Gipper, the comparison is not apt.

“Ronald Reagan would be rolling in his grave — rolling in his grave, if he saw his own party let Vladimir Putin roll through Europe.”

Rob Braxman: "Incredible dangers in Browsers ( all of them)"

His videos are worth watching. I learn something new with each one that I watch. You've got to manage these techie things very diligently. They slip a lot by you, if you aren't watching. I guess the point is that even if you are watching, they'll still slip stuff by you.

The Angry Astronaut: "New 2033 NASA Mars Mission!! Powered by SpaceX and nuclear propulsion!!"

He's critical of Elon Musk's plans for getting to Mars. He likes the following mission architecture for the mission. Ironically, Starship would do the launches to set the thing up. The difference would entail the contruction of the architecture while still in Low Earth Orbit.

It's a fine plan, but it isn't for settling Mars. It is for exploring Mars.

He makes an assertion about the Sun's nasty tendency to spew radiation out into interplanetary space. This assertion was challenged in the comment section.

In any event, it is my opinion that SpaceX could use its rockets to build something that could traverse the distance more safely than the thing he's building now, while also completing his goal of settling Mars. The necessity would be for another spacecraft that would do that job. He should consider hypergolics, as they'd never boil off. Hypergolics have that virtue, as well as the virtue of simplicity. It would be relatively easy to make. He already has the SuperDraco engine, which uses hypergolics as fuel.

Great talk

This is an hour long video, but well worth the time.

Maybe it can get somebody to think about things that they are not thinking now.

Most folks would prefer positive things. There may be exceptions to that, but most folks want positive things because nobody likes to suffer. Who needs that? Of course folks don't like to suffer. Anyway, here's the vid.

South Park politics

Women and girls most affected??? Which kind of girl? What is a girl---do trannies count? Inquiring minds want to know.

They killed Kenny too. The bastards.
