K T Cat 1/17/2025 3:34:07 PM I saw this on X and had to comment on it. We should prosecute this but what we mustnt do is smear an entire group of peopleAyesha Hazarika says Elon Musk's comments were disgusting, and while we need ask questions on grooming gangs without fear or favour, we must not attack all Muslims#bbcqt pic.twitter.com/il3slPgn8Y BBC Question Time (bbcquestiontime) January 16, 2025 First, there's the issue of the grooming gangs. For all intents and purposes, they were Muslim men who groomed and gang-raped British white girls. Elon pointed that out and it's got the multiculturalists' knickers in a twist.Still, that's not what I thought of when I saw her ranting about it. If she wants to yap at us like this, then it[...]
First of all, let's deal with the chimera in the room -Global Warming Climate Change had nothing to do with the catastrophic fires in Los Angeles this week.There has been no appreciable change in SoCal rainfall in the past 175 years. That's a 1st order indicator of climate right there.Now let's get on to what's scary for those of us living in this deep blue insane asylum this week: homeowner's insurance. Dig this edited snippet from X.I began practicing law in the 80s. Since then I've litigated insurance related issues all over the country, including my share in California. This situation is going to hit hard nationally - maybe even internationally. The ultimate consequences will be staggering.Insurance[...]
Silvio Canto, Jr. Friday, January 17, 2025 5:00 AM "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." - President Ronald Reagan
Silvio Canto, Jr. 1/17/2025 5:00:00 AM Hey, Joe, you cant take a bad song and make it better : Yes, Joe, you can't take this sorry record and make it better, to paraphrase the Beatles. All we missed last night was the White House staff in the background singing.. Click to read: Yes, Joe, you can't take this sorry record and make it better, to paraphrase the Beatles. All we missed last night was the White House staff in the background singing "na na na na na Hey Joe, goodbye." It's over and President Biden promised no more speeches. I guess that's the good news. No more warnings about threats to democracy, the rich running things and not paying their fair share of taxes.I like[...]
It wasn't James Bond's "Thunderball" or the story of the famous secret agent looking for lost A-bombs off Bahamas. Its a lot more complicated in the real world than novels or movies. Yes, humans get killed when bombs go off by mistake or accidentally. It started on this day in 1966 when a B-52 bomber collided with a KC-135 jet tanker over Spains Mediterranean coast. The collision dropped three 70-kiloton hydrogen bombs near the town of Palomares and one in the sea. Thankfully, nothing exploded but it caused an international crisis for the Johnson Administration. It must have been a very[...]
ChatGPT caught lying to developers to save itself from being shut down. All is proceeding as Stephen King, AC/DC, and Emilio Estevez have foretold: UPDATE: The Google Bot Overlords do not like this post.
B-Daddy 1/26/2022 8:32:44 PM Well not really; and not just because Burnham isn't a household name. James Burnham authored key insights on "managerialism" and predicted its eventual triumph over capitalism in his 1941 book "The Managerial Revolution," summarized here, but skip ahead 5 minutes (this is a great podcast). George Orwell provided this summary in 1943.Capitalism is disappearing, but Socialism is not replacing it. What is now arising is a new kind of planned, centralized society which will be neither capitalist nor, in any accepted sense of the word, democratic. The rulers of this new society will be the people who effectively control the means of production: that is, business executives, technicians, bureaucrats and soldiers,[...]
Which would be the result of actually implementing this whole #DefundThePolice nonsense. To catch you up:From The Guardian:The Minneapolis city council has pledged to disband the citys police department and replace it with a new system of public safety, a historic move that comes as calls to defund law enforcement are sweeping the US. Speaking at a community rally on Sunday, a veto-proof majority of council members declared their intent to dismantle and abolish the embattled police agency responsible for George Floyds death and build an alternative model of community-led safety. The decision is a direct response to the massive protests that have taken over American cities in the last two weeks, and is a[...]
Doo Doo Econ Tuesday, January 19, 2016 6:08 PM Doo Doo Economics are the policies of overspending, printing money, neglecting the key economics issues, bad science and promoting entitlement programs which all add up to higher taxes during a recession and economic unsustainablility.
Once again Americans are facing questions about the definition of a Natural Born Citizen (NBC).This is the simple and indisputable definition: Two citizens who have a child, naturally create a new citizen. This is a Natural Born Citizen.There is absolutely no expert either legal or historical who will argue to the contrary. They may argue to include additional citizens, but this is the core of the definition.Two people who have a child in a location, have a citizen who is native to that land. This is a Native Born Citizen. Thus, terms like "Native American" which imply a location and not an allegiance to a country.A person can be both Natural Born and Native Born, or in the United States we also have Naturalized[...]
Do you remember the headlines when Obama apparently declared America a Muslim country on French television? Taken from an Islamic perspective this statement is dangerous. It sounds as if the President of the United States sees America is a Muslim nation. When you consider translations, this may presented to the masses as exactly that, American President Hussein (an exclusively Islamic name) Obama declares America to be Islamic. Thus America would be "al-Islam", or territory which may never be ceded to non-Muslims.Semantics, right? Over-reaction, right?Except, this is a long standing meme from not only the President, but also his staffers. [...]
Dean 11/11/2015 9:22:09 AM Over the weekend, Salon writer, DAVID MASCIOTRA, caused quite a dust-up on social media with his own salute to the troops ahead of Veterans Day . Here is the headline, followed by the sub-headline and then followed by the first paragraph of the piece:You dont protect my freedom: Our childish insistence on calling soldiers heroes deadens real democracyIt's been 70 years since we fought a war about freedom. Forced troop worship and compulsory patriotism must endPut a man in uniform, preferably a white man, give him a gun, and Americans will worship him. It is a particularly childish trait, of a childlike culture, that insists on anointing all active military members and police officers as heroes.If you desire, you can read it[...]
Theres no denying that over the last few decades most all on-field rules changes made by the NFL have been exercises in increasing offense and scoring. This has created an arms race in a sense where the pendulum swings back and forth between the NFL offenses and NFL defenses whereby the offenses get aided by rules changes and the defenses counter with a combination of innovative schemes and superior athletes. To wit, for years, its been conventional wisdom that the best athletes in the world were in the NBA. Now days, we would add NFL defensive backs and possibly outside linebackers/rush ends into that mix (you dont think dudes like Richard Sherman, Darrelle Revis and J.J. Watt can ball a little?).But[...]
