Monday’s Done

Farmer Cthulhu in His Fields

After a hard day of de-lousing a 600 ft tall squid-headed dragon you’d think I could relax and eat my supper in peace.  Instead, I’m confronted with a thousand-point drop in the Dow.  Back during the Black Monday crash in ‘87 a five-hundred-point drop was a catastrophe of mammoth proportions (about a 20% of the Dow).  Now double that drop is just a few percent of the DJIA.  But it certainly makes the talk of recession sound a lot more ominous.  I have to assume that Kamala, Queen of the Cat Ladies, will throw a hissy fit and demand that Dopey Joe threaten to fire everyone at the Fed if they don’t lower interest rates.  Well, sure.  That will fix things up, won’t it?  Well at least until November anyway.

Everybody is thinking that Iran will attack Israel and we’ll get dragged into it.  Well, I hope not.  I’m guessing that Iran will work through Hezbollah to harry the Israelis in the north, but not attack them directly.  Netanyahu has quite a problem on his hands to neutralize Hamas.  It’s almost as if his only option is to separate the women and young children from the adult make population and fight the men without inflicting casualties on the innocent.  Well, if he figures that one out, he deserves a Nobel Prize for War.

The Ukrainians have installed their new F-16s in Odessa and I guess hope to use them to attack Crimea, Zaporizhzhia and maybe elsewhere.  It remains to be seen if Ukraine can change the status quo of Russian dominance in air defense over Eastern Ukraine.  The F-16s are supposed to be superior to the Russian fighters.  But ground-based defenses are a serious threat to even an advanced aircraft like the F-16.  We shall see.

I saw that Real Clear Politics has shifted the polling to a Kamala Harris lead of a point or so.  Well, never underestimate the number of blue-haired cat ladies in the American population.  Imagine Commander in Chief Kamala Harris reviewing the troops in Iran or Venezuela or Mexico by Zoom call and giving a rousing speech about the new battery driven aircraft carrier painted green and “manned” by a wholly trans crew.  Or imagine Kamala giving a speech at the United Nations outlawing “whiteness” and pointing to the success of post-white cultures like Zimbabwe and South Africa.  Or just imagine Kamala dedicating the addition of George Floyd to Mount Rushmore.  Well, not exactly an addition.  More like replacement.  Those dead white guys would have to be erased to make room for Floyd’s head.  Now that’s progress alright.

Looking around at what’s going on so far this week makes me nostalgic for my time at the de-lousing procedure at the boiling acid vat of Cthulhu.  Sure, the sulfuric acid fumes are lethal and the parasites are the size and ferocity of wolverines but the mission is simple and words still have their real meaning.  The same can’t be said for the “real world.”  In what universe is Kamala Harris a world class leader?  By what objective standards are the results of Bidenomics prosperity.  By what double-speak was Kamala’s handling of the border crisis a success?  Bring on the acid vat!

We Lost Joe!  Is Kamala Safe?

America is coming unhinged.  Suddenly we’re told by the Media that Joe Biden must drop out of the race for president because, supposedly, he had a bad debate.  What bad debate?  His performance was masterful.  He was sharp as a tack.  And he came up with that winning slogan for the campaign, “We finally beat Medicaid.”  I mean, that was world class.  Sure, he had some small slips of the tongue about trillionaires and COVID instead of healthcare but that’s just because he was so excited to tell the American people the good news about Biden-omics and how they were actually making money every time they go to the grocery store or gas station.  I mean, he really does pass a cognitive test every day.  Well, most days anyway.

So some MAGA Republican shills like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and Barack Obama staged a coup and forced poor Scranton Joe to drop out just when he was really getting started.  That was hard to watch.  Very hard to watch.  And I’m not even sure it really happened.  Maybe that was a deep fake of Joe conceding the race.  It didn’t sound like him.  He said billionaires instead of trillionaires and he didn’t call Donald Trump his vice president.  The whole thing is very suspicious.

But we can’t undo the past.  Joe’s gone.  He’s probably consoled himself with so much ice cream at this point that he won’t be able to move or speak until October, so the election is gone for him.  What I’m worried about is the same thing happening to Kamala Harris.  What if they run a coup against her?  I don’t care how unburdened she is by the past, if Obama, Schumer and Pelosi show up at her front door in the middle of the night and tell her that she has to step down “for the good of the country,” that good-hearted gal Kamala will sacrifice herself.

But she shouldn’t!

They’ll tell her she’s not popular enough to be elected.  They’ll tell her that giving forty-minute speeches about yellow school buses isn’t a winning strategy.  They’ll tell her that long solipsistic discussions about obvious facts aren’t a winning strategy.  They’ll tell her that replying to a pointed accusation about her painfully long list of failures with a maniacal laugh isn’t a winning strategy.

Who are these people telling her these things.

Well, sure, they’re the election professionals that she’s paying to help her win.  But maybe they’re also MAGA Republican shills who work for Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and Barack Obama.  Don’t let them “biden” you, Kamala!  You’re better than that.

But even though you’re better than that, don’t let them talk you into a debate with Donald Trump.  Don’t do it.  Donald Trump doesn’t love yellow school buses.  He is completely burdened by what has been.  And he won’t be laughing.

He’s going to blame the border crisis on you.  Even though there is no border crisis.  He’s going to say that you were the “border czar” even though there’s no such thing.  And besides he’s Vladimir Putin’s friend and Putin really is the czar of all the Russias!

And Donald Trump is going to blame the urban crime on you because of the “defund the police” statements that you may (or may not) have made.

In other words, Donald Trump will be using disinformation against you if you agree to debate him.  So don’t you do it babe.  Your best bet is to stay put at the Vice-Presidential residence and don’t answer the door.  It could be a trick.  It could be Jake Tapper, Tucker Carlson or Donald Trump or it could be Pelosi, Schumer and Obama just waiting to catch you in a trap about dropping out for the good of the country.  Well, don’t fall for it.

So, if Kamala will just take my advice and stick to her basement until after COVID, I mean Election Day, she will be elected by a landslide and Donald Trump will stay in prison for a thousand years.  But stay away from the vanilla ice cream, Kamala.  I think it can rot your brain.  And you can’t afford it.

Now is the Summer and Autumn of Our Discontent

August, September and October will be consumed with talking about Kamala Harris?  It doesn’t seem possible.  There’s just nothing there.  They’ve got to throw us something else or we’ll all go insane.  I guess the next thing will be her vice-presidential pick.  Can you imagine that?  Being second banana to Kamala Harris?  In a sense Kamala Harris was the perfect person to be the back up to Joe Biden.  An emotionally unstable nitwit would complement a dementia patient well enough.  But what would be one rung below her?  I don’t know, a roll of bubble wrap?  One of those door-stops that’s made out of a spring?

I suppose, to distract us Joe Biden can start a war with someone.  It’ll have to be with one of our allies.  We can’t afford to lose to one of our enemies.  Currently our navy is taking incoming from something called the Houthis which sounds like a Star Wars race that should look like lobster-men.  Apparently, we’re now being attacked by smaller and smaller organizations.  Eventually we’ll work our way down to where TikTok influencers will be calling us out.

But yes, Joe Biden is going to need something to do for the next six months while he waits for his brain to reach zero-charge and he expires behind the Resolute desk.  So, a war makes sense.  It doesn’t have to be a real war.  In fact, a fake war will be much better.  Now that Betty Boop doesn’t have to run press conferences for President Meathead she can be repurposed as Joe’s babysitter.  She can bring him ice cream and give him war updates.  And to simplify things for the personnel who run the White House tours they can move Joe down into the bunker.

Breathless news of great victories and tragic defeats could be delivered every few hours and lulls in the battle could coincide with his 1:30 pm nap.  I think it would suffice if they could get him the deluxe edition of Risk and let him set up the board on a card table next to his Lazy Boy.  If he’s smart, he’ll build up his defenses on Alaska and Greenland and get those five armies for North America every turn.  The smart money is to expand into South America and Africa after that.  Europe will be tough although he’s already got a lot of armies in Ukraine so there’s that.  Well, I won’t second guess Biden.  He is a strategic giant so I’ll just wait for his memoirs to come out in “Highlights” magazine to learn how he conquered the world again.

We’ll have to get through the next three and a half months somehow.  I think I might skip the Kamala speeches altogether.  Listening to her talk about her racial and sexual grievances would be way too annoying.  Perhaps I can come up with a completely non-election-based series of topics to get me to December.  And at that point many things will have been decided by the outcome of our political drama.  I think this election will be an endpoint for a lot of things.  A Kamala Harris presidency would be a benchmark.  People in the future could point to it as the official beginning of post-America.  Perhaps I should start drafting an obituary.  It would be the decent thing to do.

Unburdened By Yellow School Buses

Well, they finally did it.  They either bribed or frightened or just plain exhausted Joe Biden into withdrawing from the race.  My guess is cash.

Now we have Kamala Harris as Democrat candidate.  Okay.  This is the same Kamala whose job it was to control the border.  Well, wait a minute.  That didn’t go very well, did it? Wasn’t there some kind of problem with all of her staff quitting because she is a toxic witch that can’t get along with anybody and can’t get anything done?  Okay, that could be a problem, maybe.  What else have we got?

Well, there is the thing where she likes to talk about yellow school buses.  And she likes to make up what she thinks are deep, impressive statements but other people find to be vapid and laughable.  Like when she adopted the tag line, “I can imagine what can be, unburdened by what has been.”  There Is a YouTube montage video where someone collected dozens and dozens of times, she has said this or very close versions of this.  Watching them one after the other is a daunting task.  Eventually this mantra begins sounding like a slogan to sell sneakers or a sports drink and the one saying it begins to sound unhinged.  And there are any number of videos out there documenting her propensity to belabor the obvious and try to pass it off as “deep thinking.”

It seems then that Kamala babbling incoherently will just be substituted for Joe Biden babbling incoherently in the Republican commercials targeting her in the fall.  But who knows?  Maybe Kamala has come on the scene just as the American IQ has crashed into double digits.  Maybe the voting population has gone down the same road as Kamala and they can imagine what Kamala can be unburdened by the fact that she’s an idiot.  In fact, maybe an idiot is exactly what they want.  If they can couch her pitch in terms of pseudoscientific psychobabble and feminine emotionalism and top it off with woke appeals to racialist and feminist grievance arguments then maybe she can get enough crackpots to make her election seem almost plausible.

But honestly, she suffers from the same problem that did in Joe Biden.  After all, he was always in the hole, even before he broke out into tongues at the debate.  He was behind in the polls because his economy stinks and the country is flooded with illegal aliens, drug addicts and other homeless people who are causing a crime epidemic.  So even if Kamala’s version of Tourette’s Syndrome is slightly less off-putting than Joe’s she still has to convince voters that four years of Biden/Harris isn’t Harris’s fault.  And that’s a pretty hard sell.

An additional challenge will be for her to explain how she kept telling anyone who asked her that that Joe Biden was as sharp as a tack and running rings around his staff making America run like a Swiss watch.  That one isn’t going to fly.  Just like all of the rest of the liars in his inner circle they saw the Vegetable in Chief regularly and she knew that he was essentially a dementia patient with his finger on the button of the nuclear football.  That is going to be a very difficult question to answer.  I’d love to see her unburden on that little beauty.

06FEB2023 – OCF Update – The Day After the Big Day

Yesterday was a very good day.  American Greatness (AG) ran that post I wrote on the possibility of a multi-ethnic country preserving American constitutional freedoms.  And on top of that, Whatfinger linked to both the AG article and the post about it that I put up on OCF.  That drove a large amount of web traffic to OCF and to AG.  And the comments at both sites were very lively.  The AG commenters were a mixture of dissidents, conservatives and even a couple of progressives who took a lot of flak.  I think the discussion was interesting.  And I hope it pointed some new readers in our direction.  After all every website needs some new blood to make up for attrition.  By my accounting I only need 9,997,000 more readers to reach my goal of domination over the right-wing blogosphere.  But Rome wasn’t built in a day.  I’ll bide my time.

All the heat will be on McCarthy going into the budget wars.  We will hear the media declare him a monster who wants to destroy the United States by defaulting on the US debts.  I’m very interested in seeing how much courage he can muster in the face of the attacks coming his way.  I wonder if he will replace Trump as the new Hitler.  It’s probably inevitable.  The upside is that Biden may actually stroke out during one of his demented harangues.  If he does it on live tv that would be wonderful theater.

But I haven’t figured out if Biden randomly dropping dead is better or worse for the Democrats’ succession plan.  Think of it.  Harris becomes president.  That level of stupid controlling the most powerful country on the planet might drive us to the singularity we’re always hearing about.  Starting at the point where she tries to repeat the oath of office, the White House could be sucked into a black hole of negative intelligence followed by the rest of the solar system.  Alpha Centauri should be relatively safe.

I wonder what that would be like.  After we each crash through the event horizon would our quarks meld into Harris’ and would our essence then become as stupid as she is through quantum entanglement?  It’s too frightening to consider.  Or would our consciousness remain distinct but trapped for the rest of the life of the universe with someone endlessly spewing out drivel about a little girl sitting on a school bus.  That’s pretty close to hell.

But I digress, as usual.

We’ve run out of Chinese balloons but there’s no shortage of Russian artillery.  It appears that the long anticipated Russian offensive in the Donbass is beginning.  First up is a town called Bakhmut which over the last few weeks has been very gradually encircled.  Real information is hard to find but apparently even the Ukrainians are beginning to prepare their side to the eventuality of Bakhmut’s capture by the Russians.  After that it looks like more consolidation and then the next encirclement, probably Siver’sk.  Boy, these Slavic placenames are difficult to figure.  And I noticed several towns close to each other with the same name.  That can’t be right.  There must be some modifiers to allow the locals to distinguish between these places.  Anyway, it looks like the pace is picking up in this slow-motion war.  More misery.

Well, that’s enough for now.  Let’s see what’s the next big thing this week.  Have a good night.

Midterm Slogan: Impeach the Dumbasses

The Democrats and their boosters have settled on the dual strategy of blaming Putin for inflation and also telling Americans that downgrading their lives is the solution to poverty.  I saw a Bloomberg publication advising people who can’t pay their bills to:

  • Take the bus
  • Don’t buy in bulk
  • Try lentils instead of meat
  • Nobody said this would be fun

Brilliant!  Why didn’t I think of that?  I’ve got one.  Sell your blood.  Wonderful!

But it seems obvious that this opens a very good opportunity for the Republicans to be seen as the party that wants Americans not to be poor.  They can have a slogan like, “The Democrats want you to barely survive; The Republicans want you to thrive.”

It’s truly pathetic that McConnell and McCarthy haven’t already rolled out a campaign for November that targets Democrat voters.  They should harangue Democrats in all fifty states to provide enough votes in the Senate to convict both Biden and Harris of being dumbasses who have allowed the US economy to deteriorate to where Americans can’t buy meat for their kids.  We’d need sixty-seven votes in the Senate and that is probably a bridge too far but it would make a killer advertising campaign.  Imagine showing cuts of Biden and Harris spouting gibberish, graphs showing gas and food prices skyrocketing and then finish by saying, “Can we afford to wait three more years to get rid of Biden?  By then there won’t be anything left.  Vote Republican to get rid of the dumbasses.”

I think it has definite appeal.  One thing such a campaign strategy might do is sow dissension in Democrat ranks.  Democrat senators who are up for re-election will try to distance themselves from Biden and Harris.  Some might even agree with the campaign to help bolster their chances for re-election.  Even if we don’t get the sixty-seven votes in November there might be some senators up for re-election in 2024 who might work with the Republicans to get rid of Biden and Harris next year.

And what it will do is appeal to people’s desire to get out of the trap we’re in.  Who wants to hear that we have to wait until 2025 to see the last of Dementia Joe and the Nitwit?  Even if it doesn’t succeed it might get us a few more seats and those will help to offset poisonous fools like Romney.  Yeah, I like this idea.  I think I’ll have a flag made that says, “Impeach the Dumbasses.”  It’s not as inspirational as Make America Great Again or anything like that but it’s short, punchy and abusive which plays to my strengths.

I’ll fly the flag in the run-up to Election Day and have a barbecue to raise money for “Impeach the Dumbasses” bumper stickers.  Come to think of it, maybe I can have them made up by one of those web sites that make custom bumper stickers and sell them on the site.  You know, it’s sort of my patriotic duty to do it.  And I might even make a few bucks too. Win, win.

Update:  So there have been a few people interested in actually buying a bumper sticker.  If anyone knows of an on-line company that does a good job making these things cheaply and conveniently let me know.  Me and my big mouth!

Tucker Showcases Kamala Harris Speaking Gibberish

Kamala Harris’s brain must be the scariest territory to try to navigate safely through.  To say that she spouts nonsense is being superhumanly generous.  Tucker Carlson has two quotes of her speech to the NATO allies about the Ukraine debacle.  In the first one she manages to say absolutely nothing while gassing off for a few minutes.  In the second she lectures the Europeans on the fact that they have been at peace for seventy years.  Gee, I hope she didn’t give this speech in Belgrade.

Seriously, what must even the half-witted globalists think of America if we send this bimbo over during a disaster like the Ukraine collapse.  Even dimwits like Macron are going to start thinking they better make friends with Putin right away.

If this woman is qualified to be President of the United States then anyone is.  My alarm clock can be President.  My car GPS can definitely be President.  Either of my dogs can be President except right after they take their heartworm medicine.  My car keys couldn’t be President, but maybe Vice President.

We’re in a lot of trouble.
