Greetings to September Thirtieth, Anno Domini MMXXI

photog Current Events , , , ,

Another beautiful, if chilly morning here in the land of Wokish Puritans.  I have done my due diligence and looked over the headlines.  What I see is that both the Left and the Right see Joe Biden as a disaster, but for different reasons.  The Left sees him as a doddering idiot who keeps tripping over his own feet and fouling up the beautiful set-up he was handed by the Deep State and friends.  The Right sees him as a doddering idiot who keeps tripping over his own feet as he presides over the dismantling of what is left of the “land of the free and the home of the brave.”

Joe’s approval rating is under water but so what?  Will that change anything?  I guess the hope is that if Biden is construed as a failed president, then maybe Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema will refuse to sign onto the 3.5 trillion Dollar reconciliation bill and we might be spared the illegal alien amnesty bill and whatever other atrocities Pelosi and Schumer have teed up for us.  I guess we’re about to find out.  I seriously doubt we’re going to get lucky.  The Dems sense they have a short window before the 2022 primary season and will be going for broke this fall.  But who knows?  Miracles have happened.

But I guess it’s at least amusing to watch the consensus grow across Left and Right that Dementia Joe is a creepy loser who’s in way over his head.  I suspect history will be particularly cruel to Biden and Harris.  But I need to remind myself that history is written by the winners and even without an effective White House the Left has an overwhelmingly strong hand to play.

In other news there were a bunch of in-depth reports discovering again that if you remove the police from a city like Minneapolis then the black neighborhoods will descend into crime, drug addiction and murder.  Children will be killed during gun play between the gang bangers, white people will flee the city in droves and the loss of revenues will cause the problem to spiral out of control.  The only differences in these reports depend on the ideological stripe of the writer.  The lefties decry the violence but claim that the police cannot use the tactics previously available to them.  In other words, they want magical police.  The writers on the right notice that nobody is lining up to take the vacant police jobs currently available and conclude that runaway crime in Minneapolis will be an ongoing phenomenon for the foreseeable future.

Well, my answer to all this is, don’t complain when you get what you say you wanted.  The progressives and their followers in Minneapolis put the city in the hands of ideologues that allowed and even encouraged a mob of antifa and BLM rioters to burn down a police precinct while looting and burning their neighbors’ businesses and assaulting and even killing some of these same people.  I take no pleasure in seeing poor people living in a hellscape where law and order have been eliminated.  But there is no other way for these imbeciles to learn just how delusional their viewpoint on urban policing really is.  Once all the affluent white progressives move away from their dangerous Minneapolis homes the people who are left can begin to figure out how to deal with reality.  The only shame is that these progressives won’t have a chance to see their own homes and businesses looted and burned.  That would be too much to ask.

I saw a couple of reports about the upcoming Supreme Court docket.  There are a bunch of important cases that have impact on our sorely mistreated constitutional rights.  And for once I’m slightly optimistic that some good things may happen in this session.  And if the decisions occur late enough in the year it may be too late for the Democrats to pack the Court.  It’s assumed they will lose the House in 2022 and that would curtail at least temporarily their ability to change the Court’s size.  If the new justices continue to buck John Robert’s liberal agenda, we could see some honest judicial decisions that would have a positive effect on our lives.  It’s at least worth watching and I’ll be interested to see which way they go.  I don’t want to be too much of a pessimist.  Even I get bored of that.

So that’s what’s in the news.  In my own world I’ve been busy with writing and repairing all the stuff that breaks down around here.  Carpentry, plumbing, auto repairs and landscaping are high on the list of stuff that needs doing.  Luckily the auto repair is covered by an insurance policy so I’ll leave that to the professionals.  I guess I’ll take a first stab at the others but something tells me the plumber will be getting a call soon.  Ah, who am I kidding?  I better get a carpenter too.

But it’s a good day and I feel cheerful.  Camera Girl is making delicious soups and I’m dedicated to watching the world collapse into a heap of stress fractured fragments.  There is an ancient legacy in my family around bartering in rubble and scraps.  I think my ancestors in the Fifth Century probably sold off the marble that originally covered the Colosseum to Visigoth chieftains to adorn their medieval castles.  It’s a cinch I’ll flourish amid the ruins of Biden’s America.  There will be plenty of rubble to barter.

Tucker Carlson Unloads on the Vaccine Mandates

Carlson has become the mainstream voice of the Deplorables.  I think he has a future in politics if he decides that is something he’d like to do.  In this video he gets right to the point.  Only months ago Biden, Fauci and all the other Dems swore that mandating vaccination was unthinkable.  Now they’re doing it.

He talks about the dubious nature of the vaccines and their health risks.  He identifies the coercive and psychological nature of the control that the Biden administration is perpetrating against us.  It’s an excellent indictment of the Biden White House.

08SEP2021 – OCF Update – This’N’That

photog Current Events, OCF , , , ,

First up, the ZMan manages to have a lot of fun with the Theranos fraud trial of Elizabeth Holmes.  And how could you not have fun with it?  With Holmes’ fake baritone voice and the complete collapse of her fake medical device company it has something for everyone on the right to cheer about.

Secondly, although Biden’s poll numbers are still underwater, so far, the Taliban and ISIS-K have somehow neglected to behead any Americans yet.  I attribute this to enormous monetary bribes from Dementia Joe.  But however it’s being done it may prevent Joe from being tarred and feathered by the public.  And I don’t discount the F— Joe Biden phenomenon.  But who knows?  Maybe Biden will survive his term in office.

And finally I noticed that the Delta Variant Spike in Florida and Texas is almost back down to the baseline in early July before it started.  Kudos to DeSantis and Abbott for not panicking.  Hard to say how long the COVID Iron Curtain will remain up in Blue America but just knowing there are areas outside its control is inspirational for us on the inside.

College Football Fans Perfect the Biden F-Bomb Cheer

Apparently Joe Biden is now being embraced by the college crowd.  Only maybe not as Biden himself might hope.  Across the South the F*** Joe Biden chant is gaining in popularity and volume.  A friend called me up to tell me that a television sports crew apologized for not silencing the crowd’s message in time to keep it off the air.

It’s good to see that our first undead president is connecting with the living the way he does.  They understand his plight.  Having to stay out of direct sunlight and avoiding mirrors and crucifixes is almost a full time job.  Keeping him in their thoughts and on their lips even while attending their local football game is a tribute to our semi-preserved somewhat comatose Commander in Chief.

What would be really great is if the armed forces picked up the same chant at the annual Army-Navy football game that I assume Biden will attend.  I know it would really give him a boost.  Ah, the stuff that dreams are made of.

Biden Agonistes

Sometimes it’s important to stop and smell the roses.

Now that Dementia Joe has found his groove and provides the public with a daily failure or easily recognized lie it’s becoming a very enjoyable daily ritual to go to the top news and see what Joe’s latest coup consists of.

Will it be a new confabulation with himself as hero?  Maybe he cured polio back in the day or invented the solar panel.  Will it be the announcement of some foreign policy failure?  Perhaps Canada will re-align its military with Russia or China.  Or maybe some new embarrassment from Biden’s past will surface.  Possibly him sniffing the hair of a small child or a coma victim.

But whatever it is, I feel so grateful that Joe is the president.  He is uniquely qualified to wake up millions of Americans who until now thought that the Democrat party was a legitimate political organization.  Drawing on his super power of ultra-stupid he can delegitimize almost anything.

In fact, at the rate he’s going, he’s bound to bring the whole concept of representative government into disrepute and bring on a new age of monarchy.  King Donald the First?  I guess it’s possible.

And all this is very surprising.  The last time we saw this kind of public humiliation of a president was when George W Bush was hung out to dry during Hurricane Katrina.  And building on that the press kept the drum beat of failure going right up to the end of his term in office.  Is it intentional on their part?  Or is Joe just so incompetent that there’s no way even a compliant media establishment can paper over his failures?  It’s still sort of an open question.  I think the answer should become clear within the next couple of weeks.  Monday is Labor Day and the end of the summer doldrums.  From thereon in, every news story will be reaching the full audience of readers.  If fresh atrocities from Afghanistan continue to make it to the top of the news page, then Joe will be a spectacular failure in his first year as president.  If somehow the drip of bad news suddenly dries up and instead the heroic Biden meme reappears then we know that his people have made peace with the Deep State and all is forgiven.

Now, that’s not to say that outside events won’t have a lot to do with the narrative.  There are still hundreds of Americans trapped in Afghanistan.  We’ve yet to see any of them declared hostages.  Every day that ISIS-K does not send out a video of an American captive gets Joe Biden one day closer to putting Afghanistan behind him.  After all the public is pretty simple-minded.  Whatever the story of the day is quickly drives out of their minds yesterday’s big news.  Do that enough times and even something as momentous as 9-11-2001 fades into ancient history.  So. unless the media has turned permanently against Dementia Joe good luck can save him.

But good luck isn’t a Joe Biden thing.  Lying, yes.  Corruption, absolutely.  But now that Joey has the highest visibility job on Earth his lies and machinations are becoming harder and harder to hide.  So, I foresee more gaffs, more failures and more disgust on the part of Americans who discover that their president is a transparently corrupt and senile weasel.

Well done, Dementia Joe, well done.

The Fabulous Adventure of Dementia Joe and the Tree of Life

photog Current Events , ,

Well, you have to admire a guy that never quits.  If lies A through F don’t work there’s always G, H and I.  Coming up to the Jewish Holidays Joe spins another lie about going to the site of a tragedy that he can use for his narrative.  Problem is even his guys are tired of the out and out fabrications.  Joe claimed he visited the site of an anti-semitic mass murder in Pennsylvania.  But the people there told the truth and said he never showed up there at all.

We all need to stop worrying about truth.  Joe’s fake stories are much more entertaining.  In fact I want more fake.  How about the Adventures of Corn Pop and GI Joe Biden in Fallujah.  All it needs is the right comic book illustrator and it will sell millions.

Biden is the perfect representative for the Democrat party and in fact all of the Left.  He combines in equal measures self-delusion and intentional deception.  One slides seamlessly into the other.  And lately it’s on open display.  The Rout from Kabul is a brilliant military victory.  Sluggish economic growth is a dynamic recovery.  Broken promises on the end of the COVID lockdown is glossed over as “following the science.”

The only thing that’s new is that the media seems to be getting new marching orders.  Maybe they’re getting ready to move Joe out and move Lady Macbeth in.

Joey Biden Has a Tough Day

photog Current Events , ,

I watched Biden’s speech and a little bit of the press conference just because of the gravity of the situation and wondering what he would say.  He started out by saying it was a tough day.  I don’t think anyone will contradict him on that.  But then he went right back into his “withdrawal is hard” schtick.  He wants us to believe that this was the only way that a withdrawal could have been done.  The fact that this is a ludicrous statement doesn’t seem to matter to Biden.  The media doesn’t know how to make all this Donald Trump’s fault so they’re kind of stunned.  It was like one of those George H. W. Bush press conferences where he just kept repeating, “stay the course,” like it was some kind of mantra.  I think at this point there will be some Americans taken hostage by ISIS and the horror of that can only be imagined.

Until to day I wasn’t convinced this would be a downfall event for Biden.  Now I think it will be.  I think the bleeding from this will go on and on.  Something like a thousand al Qaeda fighters have been released from prison and it doesn’t take much imagination to guess how much mayhem and damage they will do.  This operation was botched in a way that almost seems deliberate.  I’m starting to think this was the Deep State’s revenge for pulling the plug on Afghanistan.  How do you not at least make sure that all the civilians who need to get out aren’t already gone when you draw down the troops for the exit maneuver and how do you announce that it will be happening in the middle of the Taliban’s fighting season?  Were these generals that stupid?  Is it even possible?

I’ve agreed for the last five years that we needed to put an end to the Afghan occupation. Once it was clear that we were trying to make the Afghans into something they don’t want to be it was obvious that the only thing propping up their government was our army.   Once the Taliban had the upper hand in Pakistan it was only a matter of time before they did the same in Afghanistan.  But to retreat as we did it is like some kind of disaster movie plot.  It’s as if a junior officer with no practical experience in war was put in charge of a battle against a hardened enemy.  Actions are taking place out of order and opportunities are lost and chaos ensues.  At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if something really horrible happens as the last troops fly out.  It’s just too much like amateur hour.

To be honest it’s too grim to take any pleasure in Biden’s misfortune because it’s the military that’s doing the bleeding.  But I think if any good comes out of this fiasco it’s that no Congress is going to sign off on this President sending troops anywhere.  And I guess the other silver lining is that the CIA and NSA may decide that instead of pursuing red state Americans as domestic terrorists maybe they should shift their attention to keeping ISIS out of the US at the borders.  After all, if those guys walk in the way everybody else does, they might take it into their heads to come to Washington DC and then Joey boy and the Capitol Police might find out what terrorists really look like.

22AUG2021 – OCF Update – Henri’s a Dud

photog Current Events, OCF , ,

I probably shouldn’t start making fun of it until after landfall but they downgraded Henri to a tropical storm or maybe even down to a fairly hefty belch and it is moving the trees around and dropping a decent amount of rain.  I’ve upgraded it to Superstorm status since I like things that are super.  The worst of the trouble may come from downed power lines but so far it’s a relatively tame storm.

I said the other day that it was too soon to declare the Afghanistan Withdrawal a full blown horror show that finishes Joe Biden’s credibility as POTUS.  Well we’ve inched a little closer to that stage.  The level of incompetence is pretty impressive both on the military side and the intelligence side.  It looks like the Taliban is giving the Americans the chance to get out but the Biden administration appears extremely inept at marshalling its forces to follow through on a coherent plan.  If this goes on much longer I wouldn’t be surprised if bad things start happening almost on their own.  A power vacuum draws in secondary players who see an opportunity to grab some small prize.  American hostages would seem to be the biggest opportunity.

As for everything else, I’ll put up a few posts on stuff that I’ve been thinking about.

Sounds Like the Sharks Smell Blood in the Water

Even the Dems seem to have decided that Dementia Joe is in big trouble.  I think it’s still too early to decide whether the Afghanistan withdrawal will be an embarrassing disgrace or a full-on horror show.  There are indications that the Americans trapped in Kabul may be in danger of ending up as hostages.  If that does happen I wouldn’t be surprised if this thing spins completely out of control and Biden is shipped off to the funny farm.

But if the Taliban decide it’s better for their plans to allow the Americans to leave altogether then this episode will just be one more humiliating example of why having a doddering old wreck of a scoundrel for president is a really bad idea.  You can be really old and be President.  Reagan proved that.  And you can be a lying scumbag and be president.  Bill Clinton proved that.  But a really old lying scumbag is a bridge too far.  It’s too easy to get mixed up among the lies.
