Because It’s Worked SO Well
…in Zimbabwe. But I’m sure it will work in Seffrica:
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has signed into law a bill allowing land seizures by the state without compensation.
The new law allows for expropriation without compensation only in circumstances where it is “just and equitable and in the public interest” to do so.
Of course. In the meantime:
Bye bye, White farmers. Bye bye, the Seffrican agricultural economy. Hello, starvation.
But hey, it’s all about equitable redistribution, right? As long as the intentions are in line with Party principles… never mind the consequences.
The 80:20 Beginning
Many conservatives have queried the pace of illegal immigrant deportation recently, saying that the few hundred or so deportations made so far are not going to make a dent in the massive illegal immigrant population.
That’s true, but we need to be mindful of the “80:20” approximate rule of thumb: that 20% of the population, in any given activity, account for 80% of that activity. (We all know that in the supermarket business, for example, the “top” 20% of a store’s customers — in spending terms — account for about 78% of total sales; less well-known is that those 20% also generate about 93% of a store’s total gross profit. They are the people who keep the store’s doors open.)
And it’s pretty much the same with criminal behavior. When NYfC mayor Rudi Giuliani first went after crime in that benighted city, his “Broken Windows” strategy –arresting petty criminals as fast as they could be arrested — was at first a source of derision. That derision ceased when it became apparent that crime fell precipitously because those “petty” criminals accounted for a disproportionate percentage of total crime.
And here’s a pointer from the very first round of ICE arrests:
Fox News witnessed ICE Boston make eight arrests, including multiple MS-13, Interpol Red Notices, murder and rape suspects, and a volatile Haitian gang member with 18 convictions in recent years who told our cameras that he “ain’t going back to Haiti” and “f— Trump, Biden forever!”
Note: just one fucking mope had been convicted eighteen times over a couple of years. (Exactly why this asshole wasn’t still in jail for Crime #1, #2 or #3 is a topic for another time. #3StrikesRule) If ever there was a candidate for the Pinochet Example, this would be one.
And I doubt that too many people in his home country would shed a tear at his disappearance either.
In any event, going after the most egregious offenders is not going to affect the total illegal immigrant number — but it sure as hell is going to improve public safety.
And by the way, the article makes it plain that in going after the worst first, there will be “collateral” arrests and deportations as well. Of course it will; criminals tend to band together (e.g. MS-13), so by all means toss their asses onto the one-way C-135 flights as well.
More to the point is that foreign criminals are soon going to become aware that the U.S. is not going to be the soft target that it used to be, and they may be deterred from coming here to set up, for example, burglary gangs.
Keep it going, guys. Gooder and harder, to quote Insty.
News Roundup
You’re going to need all that beer to sustain you during this rather lengthy roundup.
...that thumping sound you hear is that of thousands of DEI .dotmil hearts beating faster. Oh, and fuck you, Mitch McConnell.
And also:
...oh yeah, baby.
...just not enough, methinks.
...oh STFU, you pathetic socialist twerp, and stick to extorting money from car traffic.
...but the Lord Mayor is more concerned with Trump Fascism.
...of course they would. Nobody cares.
...not exactly yer diplomatic language — which is why I like it.
...should have been demoted to a clerical position in their Duluth office, but nemmind.
...just remember this statement, Turban Durbin, when conservatives start to defy your side’s EOs.
…
And speaking of those assholes:
...we should just change the name of that shithole to “Pedophilia” and have done with it.
...in the reign of World-Emperor Kim, these assholes would additionally be subjected to daily ten-minute beatings, with hammers, for the duration of their sentence.
...ordinarily, I’m not a supporter of increased Gummint powers, but in this case I’ll make an exception.
...because the shooter was Black and his victim White, we’ll read no more about it.

...oh dear. That NetZero thing is really proving to be problematic, isn’t it?
And to emphasize the point:
...but only when said infrastructure is being funded by the UKGov. Otherwise, it’s fine.
And speaking of Commie fuckwits:
...and this Commie bint is doing her part to boost the UK’s economy by increasing taxes and confiscating inheritances.
So let’s just look at how Britishland’s venture into the world of Communist economics is going:
...and the next “unexpected! consequence”:
...so all is proceeding according to plan, then?
...keywords: pension tax raids.
And in our weekly record of 
...well, that would stop anyone, really.
...forget it, Jake, it’s Britishland. Not gonna happen, no matter how many children are slaughtered.
Finally, in our weekly saunter down

And a few earlier pics:
I think that’s rounded off the news nicely, don’t you think?
Never Mind That Pesky Reality Stuff
..in which the Climate Doomsayers are once again embarrassed by actual events:
Last year reinforced previous conclusions that hurricanes are neither becoming more frequent, nor more intense, as measured by the number of the stronger Cat 3, 4 and 5 storms and by accumulated cyclone energy (ACE), an index used to measure the activity of a cyclone/hurricane season.
Meanwhile a new study has found that the destructive power of hurricanes has declined in the Indian Ocean since the mid-1990s. Elsewhere there has been little trend at all, the study found.
And there are charts and charts of recorded data to underline those findings.
Not that this would trouble the Doomsayers, of course:
The BBC continue to ignore the real world data as well as the verdict of hurricane experts. Instead they remorselessly push the lie that hurricanes are getting worse.
At the end of last year’s Atlantic hurricane season, weatherman Ben Rich proclaimed that the season had ‘broken records’, when it was barely above average. He went on to state that global warming had made every Atlantic hurricane last year stronger, a claim propagated by the climate lobbyist group, Climate Central, without a shred of data to back it up.
Yeah, well, as everyone knows: if the facts do not support the theory, they must be ignored.
And never so much as when the Great Lie of Global Warming Climate Cooling Change© is being propagated.
And That’s Just ONE
At this rate, I’ll need to post articles from a fainting couch. Why?
Consider just this Executive Order sent out under God-Emperor Trump’s signature. It’s entitled “Unleashing American Energy” but its real title should be “Fuck You, Greenies”. An excerpt:
Sec. 4. Revocation of and Revisions to Certain Presidential and Regulatory Actions.
(a) The following are revoked and any offices established therein are abolished:
(i) Executive Order 13990 of January 20, 2021 (Protecting Public Health and the Environment and Restoring Science to Tackle the Climate Crisis);
(ii) Executive Order 13992 of January 20, 2021 (Revocation of Certain Executive Orders Concerning Federal Regulation);
(iii) Executive Order 14008 of January 27, 2021 (Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad);
(iv) Executive Order 14007 of January 27, 2021 (President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology);
(v) Executive Order 14013 of February 4, 2021 (Rebuilding and Enhancing Programs to Resettle Refugees and Planning for the Impact of Climate Change on Migration);
(vi) Executive Order 14027 of May 7, 2021 (Establishment of the Climate Change Support Office);
(vii) Executive Order 14030 of May 20, 2021 (Climate-Related Financial Risk);
(viii) Executive Order 14037 of August 5, 2021 (Strengthening American Leadership in Clean Cars and Trucks);
(ix) Executive Order 14057 of December 8, 2021 (Catalyzing Clean Energy Industries and Jobs Through Federal Sustainability);
(x) Executive Order 14072 of April 22, 2022 (Strengthening the Nation’s Forests, Communities, and Local Economies);
(xi) Executive Order 14082 of September 12, 2022 (Implementation of the Energy and Infrastructure Provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022); and
(xii) Executive Order 14096 of April 21, 2023 (Revitalizing Our Nation’s Commitment to Environmental Justice for All).
That’s twelve of FJB’s ghastly Green New Deal EOs overturned, with a single EO. Talk about efficiency.
And the followup clauses (b, c, d and e) are enough to make any Greenie’s head explode.
The other sections contained in the EO might well give you even greater pleasure, so hie thee hence and read the whole thing.
Just this single EO — among the hundreds of similar nature — actually makes me giddy with delight. Years and years of needless, not to say hostile Green bureaucracy abolished.
Keep ’em coming, Boss.
