What is the Baba Yaga?

11/6/26:

After re-reading what I wrote here, I wonder if something about it may get misconstrued. Oh, most likely WILL be. That's what idiots do. They misunderstand as a rule of thumb.

Any clarifications needed? Any explanations? Well, I cannot because I don't read minds. Therefore, I must speculate. Except that I won't. Whatever I write from henceforth about ANYTHING will likely be misconstrued, misrepresented, and lied about.

I cannot react to what does not exist. I cannot speculate upon something that I have no knowledge of. What I can do is to extrapolate from what I've observed from these people in recent memory.

So, when do they lie? All the time. When their lips move. If they open their mouths, it may well be something about how they can save themselves from their latest stupidity.

In case I am projecting on to others what is in my own mind, let me just say that I think if we are VERY lucky, we may be able to survive for awhile longer. So yeah, I may be trying to save myself. But I recognize the truth of the matter. The truth is that we are in a world of shit, and it will take a freaking miracle to get out of this now. Only a higher power intervention may save us, and that is no guarantee of that at this point. We are like Sodom and Gomorroah on the eve of destruction. Abraham pleads for mercy for the wayward cities, but there aren't any people there ( save a handful) who are worth saving.

Not a pretty picture, but I think that sums it up as accurately as I can manage. Are there anyone worth saving in this country now after this? It ain't for me to decide. What say you? If those of you out there who understand any of this, what do you think your chances are about right now? The idiots say everything will be fine. Ok, but I say that those who say this are absolutely full of shit, as usual.

The movie is mostly jerkoff bullshit, but it is interesting enough. Is there such a thing as the "boogie man"?

Well, I don't have the 100% not bullshit answer on that one. But I'd say one thing that absolutely 100% true. Which is? There is such a thing as a force of nature. Call it whatever you will, force or nature or the Baba Yaga, it absolutely exists.

Now the interesting thing here is how the older man talks to his son. His son is a fool, and the son doesn't know he is a fool. The old man knows he is a fool, but he tries to protect him anyway. He ends up not succeeding in saving his son as the Baba Yaga gets his son. The son dies in the movie. Rather badly too, I note.

What makes this interesting? I've been warning you people about the commies for a long time here. I'm an old fart. The younger generation probably doesn't even read anymore, and they don't know shit. But they have awakened the Baba Yaga. The Baba Yaga is what you youngsters will have to deal with.

You ain't my kid. So you're on your own, dumbasses.

But if I had a son who did something stupid and against my wishes, I think I'd tell him he ain't my boy any longer. If you think you are man enough to deal with the boogie man on your own, then good luck dumbass.

John Wick scene.

So, the Baba Yaga is the boogie-man? Not according to duck-duck go's ai. That query included links to Wikipedia and another source. Not exactly the friggin' boogie man.

But it makes for an interesting movie.

Maybe Hillary is the Baba Yaga. Kamala Harris is too dumb. AOC is even dumber than Kamala Harris, but the young-uns might like her. They've been so dumb-down by the lefties that it would be a surprise if they know how to wipe their own asses, much less run their own lives.

A Brave AI dialogue about California's wealth tax

The link is here. It will be good for 7 days, and then Brave says it will no longer be available. That means it will expire about November 13, 2026.

Comment:

The commies like to call it wealth, but it is actually unrealized gains. If it is unrealized, then it could be ephemeral. In other words, it isn't real yet. There is a word in the tax code called "realized gains". The commies want to tax a gain that hasn't come into being yet, and may never come.

So the Collyfornians haven't completely lost their minds, but a considerable number of them are pretty damned close to a majority. This one was really too close. How long this state of affairs will last is anyone's guess. This stupidity is strong in Collyfornia.

Mission Accomplished - As Expected, Gas and Diesel Prices Begin Dropping

CTH

Comment:

I'm not quite clear on how they were doing that. How do you manipulate prices with disregard to supply and demand?

I agree that the prices were manipulated, but it's not clear how it is done. If it could've been proven, its usefulness as propaganda would've been diminished.

There should be a paper trail. Was it contracts on the futures market? What the devil did they do to cause this outcome?

P.S.

This should be a scandal. If it could be proven is the key. In the meantime we are going to hear tons of propaganda about how the war caused the high prices and the loss of the House and Senate to the commies.

The article needs to get into the mechanics as CTH's deep dive and other links do not specify this mechanism in detail.

late update:

The price action of oil price is what I've been following. I note that the price of oil from the Persian Gulf is now CHEAPER than Brent (which is European). I guess that means the Euroweenies are going to be the next trouble spot?

The writing is on the wall, so to speak. If you are familiar with the Bible. Not that any of this generation is, but it is there. The foolish King screwed up and his rule is at an end. There will be nothing that he can do about it, either.

Don't believe the double entrendre, as it is no solution to this situation. But I can certainly relate to the feeling. No time for grieving. Must get moving...

Brave AI dialogue

What happened in Texas?

Well, someone told me that the Texas GOP named a Democrat to the Speaker's chair. Since I didn't follow Texas politics all that much, I deferred to that source, and that source was wrong. The Speaker of the House was a Republican. He won his seat again, but since the Democrats flipped the Texas House of Representatives, he lost the Speaker chair.  I was shocked to hear that the GOP supposedly chose a Democrat for Speaker last session, but that was wrong.  I ended up making a mistake by reporting it otherwise.  My bad.

I asked the AI about what happened, and this link provides a discussion of why it happened. Brave says the link will be good for 7 days. So next week, it won't be good anymore.

Before I leave, my comment is that the cost of gasoline was probably NOT the reason the House flipped. But that is what people are being told. Secondly, they are being told that the GOP spent more, which MIGHT be true, but from where I was standing, I didn't notice the difference. If anything, Talarico had a lot more presence, so that claim is probably misleading. Paxton seemed invisible. Talarico was all over the place.
 

I checked into the matter, and Talarico outraised Paxton by a considerable margin.  The money that came in later might have made it a bit closer, but it looks like it didn't make much difference, if any difference at all.  It was too late, in my opinion.

I think we're getting Bull crapped again.  A lot of bad stuff is going to happen, and this wrong information is probably an early sign of it.

Quick update:

Well, hate to contradict  Ace @ Ace of Spades blog.   He said that the gasoline prices were the cause for the disaster yesterday.  No, this is what we are going to be told ad nauseum.  I'm sure the gasoline prices were a hardship for some folks, but the number they came up with in the AI chat mentioned above suggests that people consume a crap load of gas.  Do I believe that is the case?  No.  The reason for what happened at the polls was NOT the price at the pump.  But you can believe whatever the hell you want.  The commies can say whatever the hell they want.  But I ain't buying the bull.

The prices were predicted to go down after the votes.  Sure enough, now that is happening.  It sounds to me like another rigged deal.  

It's amazing that people cannot see through the ruse.  Or should I say, it is amazing to me that people can be so gullible.  But maybe it isn't amazing.  That's how the public acts.  Ace also said that people are weak minded.  Now that is where I will agree.  

One more thing.  The fact that Brave AI has turned around a bit and is now supporting leftist messaging sounds quite ominous to me.  It's going to get worse.  No doubt about it.

People will be lucky if they know up from down before these propagandists get through with us all.  That's how totalitarian governments roll.  America just stopped being America.  It's a shame, but I've got a clear conscience on it anyway.  I did what I could.  Folks are just too silly for their own good.

Just the News: Trump endorsement record tarnished

by Amanda Head

Comment: It should be noted that Ken Paxton was not endorsed in the Texas Primary run-off until right at the end of the campaign. If Cornyn would've won, Trump would've endorsed him, I'm sure.

Trump didn't pick fights that often, and when he did, I think it was justified.

Paxton didn't work out because of a couple factors in my opinion. The Bush wing of the Texas GOP hates Trump, no doubt. The second factor is something that took me by surprise. The Hispanic vote turned on him. Something else I read, not referenced here, said that the commies energized the female Latina vote. If so, that one caught me by surprise. I wasn't expecting that.

I favored Trump's reindustrialization policy. Unfortunately, that is now at risk. The Texas GOP put a commie in the Speaker's chair, too. So there's a very deep rift in the GOP right there. It might be called the RINO revenge factor. The previous Speaker was challenged by the MAGA movement, and taken out of the Speaker's chair.

How many folks are aware that a Republican legislature put a commie in the Speaker's chair? Do you think that the GOP could have done even worse by joining with the commies at the ballot box? It is not an idle charge. It is a reasonable suspicion.

The article didn't mention that. So I did so that anyone reading this will know that fact. That is, if facts matter anymore in this country.

Just the News: This was because of the economy?

Really? The people who say this, I have a question: Do you really think the Democrats are going to do anything to fix the economy in these next 2 years? What do you think the commies will do to "fix" the economy?

There is going to be a switcheroo. The commies ran on the economy, but will do nothing to fix it.

Quote:

Exit polls showed voters were fed up with high gas prices and inflation overall, and angry that Trump put America into a prolonged conflict with Iran before fixing the inflation he inherited from Joe Biden’s administration.

But what will the commies do? Quote:

Fifty-seven percent of voters favored capitalism compared to just 33% who said they held a favorable view of socialism.

How do you promote capitalism by putting commies in the seat of power? This makes no sense.

The commies will punish MAGA and Trump---a swicheroo. Also, it is possible that the RINOS joined the commies, and MAGA punished the RINOS.

It was a split GOP that did this. The so-called Establishment on the left stayed together while the GOP split apart at the seams. The article also said this was like 1994 in reverse. No. This was Barry Goldwater versus LBJ. The next two years gave us the Vietnam War and open borders. The GOP shot itself in the foot in 1964, and it looks like it did it again. That's the prelim. This needs more analysis.
