When We Do It, It’s A Game

Marxists

…but when the Left does it, it’s an action plan.

We’ve all played the “One Shot” game (“If you could pull the trigger just once, without any consequences to you, who’d be your target?”), but it’s always been a game.

With the Left, though, it’s hardly ever a game.

I myself live in dread that some day, some moron on the Right is going to try to make the One Shot game a reality and take a potshot at some Lefty.  Like that little shit in Pennsylvania tried at DJT.

History, however, sort of makes me think that as always, real political violence will come from the Left.  Let’s just hope that when it does, it fails (unlike it did with JFK and RFK Sr.).

We always allude to the shit storm that might follow open- and general violence from the Left, but the Pantifa / BLM riots — Kyle Rittenhouse wonderfully excepted — seemed to prove otherwise.

This time around, though, I think a repeat performance from these spoiled little middle-class tools might get a somewhat different response from law enforcement (or even the military, if necessary) than what they anticipated.

I hope so, anyway.

No Frigging Chance

Marxists, Third World

And it was all going so well.

I was reading an article at American Greatness which shows in detail how California has screwed things up,whether by Net Zero foolishness, taxation, over-regulation and so on, e.g.

If the builder [Gov.] Pat Brown was an exemplar of “Responsible Liberalism,” California’s government today has been ranked by Wallet Hub as the least efficient in delivering services relative to the tax burden. Pat Brown’s son Jerry – who was governor from 1975-1983 and then again from 2011-2019 – and his successor, Newsom, epitomize the triumph of ideology over effectiveness. Theirs is a kind of performative progressivism that shrugs about things like roads that are now among the nation’s worst, a high-speed bullet train plagued with endless delays and massive cost overruns, and a failure to boost critical water systems in a perennially drought-threatened state.
In exchange for all this, the progressive regime has stuck ordinary Californians and businesses with some of the nation’s highest taxes and greatest regulatory burdens.

So far, so good, and the article goes on to show exactly how, why and to what extent California is doomed.  Then, in the very last paragraph, this:

Yet, for all its problems, California is far from hopeless, and its promise is not extinguished. It remains uniquely gifted in terms of climate, innovation, and entrepreneurial verve. Sitting at the juncture of Asia, Latin America, and North America, it can once again become, as Kevin Starr noted, America’s “final frontier: of geography and of expectation.”

Nope.  Unless the CalGov is purged by a mini-DOGE — or maybe even a greater DOGE, given its entrenched Marxism — as well as a 180-degree change in voting patterns, there is no way for the Golden Shower State to survive.  None.

It is a hopeless state, and the mass exodus of Californians to other states over the past ten years reflects just that.

Well THAT Explains It (Ignore)

Bad News, Legal Stuff, Marxists

I’ve looked askance at several of Chief Justice John Roberts’s activities in the past — first, and most notably, his decision that ObamaCare was actually a “tax” and not an un-Constitutional prescriptive power grab over the lives of U.S. citizens — and since then, several of his votes on Supreme Court decisions have made me furrow my brow.  Here’s one example:

The Supreme Court on Friday let the Trump administration temporarily suspend $65 million in teacher-training grants that the government contends would promote diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, an early victory for the administration in front of the justices.

The decision was 5 to 4, with five of the court’s conservatives — Justices Amy Coney Barrett, Neil M. Gorsuch, Clarence Thomas, Samuel A. Alito Jr. and Brett M. Kavanaugh — in the majority. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. voted with the court’s three liberal justices in dissent.

Some commentators have asked the question:  “Does someone have something on Judge Roberts?”  as an answer to these of his decisions — what we used to call the “sex photos with a dead animal or child”  kind of blackmail.

In fact, the answer is a lot simpler, and far less salacious.

Investigative journalist Bad Kitty Unleashed reported on Thursday that Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts is involved in an invite-only club for elite judges in Washington, DC.

The elitist club America Inns of Court also includes the radical America-hating judges James Boasberg, Beryl Howell, Ketanji Brown Jackson, and Amit Mehta—all hard-left judges and Trump-haters.

Go ahead and read the whole thing.  It will explain exactly why Roberts has voted the way he has.

I don’t know what the solution is — there’s that “freedom of association” thing in the Constitution —  but what it basically means is that the nominally-conservative Chief Justice is in thrall to the hard Left judiciary in this country, and there doesn’t seem to be a whole lot we can do about it.

I think I’d have preferred the photos.

Freaks & Loonies, Marketing / Advertising, Marxists

I love capitalism.  Why?  No sooner had the ink dried on the fraudulent-but-ultimately pointless counterfeit ballots in Pennsylvania. Michigan etc. when (courtesy of Reader Mike L.) I learned that the Smart Marketing Guys got going:

US cruise company offering four-year escape during Trump presidency

A Florida-based cruise company is offering disgruntled US voters the chance to escape by traveling the world during Donald Trump’s upcoming four years in office.

Villa Vie Residences has capitalized on the election results by offering Americans a four-year escape – the length of a presidential term – starting at around $160,000 per person, taking guests to more than 425 ports in 140 countries. [more details at the link]

My only requirement is that the trip is non-refundable after the ship has left port — in other words, if the travelers are suddenly overcome with buyer’s regret or whatever, they don’t get any money back, and they have to make their own way home from whatever country they happen to be in.

And if the poor regretful souls, having spent all their savings on this 4-year escape, are unable to afford the cost of a flight back to the U.S., I’m sure some private transport company will be only too willing to step up to the plate and help them get out of wherever they are for the return trip…

…if you see what I mean.

Blarney

Marxists, Politics, Third World

This little rant may well piss off a few people, but I don’t care because it’s long overdue.

I hate the Irish.

Now let me get a couple things out of the way before I go any further.  I don’t hate Irish people in the same way as some people hate Jews, for example.  In fact, the few actual Irish people I have met, I love and find wonderful.

And by “Irish”, I’m not including people named Shaughnessy whose ancestors came over to the United States to escape the Potato Famine of the 19th century.  In other words, I don’t dislike Irish-Americans to any greater or lesser degree than anyone else:  each individual is judged on their merits.  (That I find most people irritating anyway is a topic for another time.)

Nope:  I’m talking about Ireland — or “Eire”, as they call it, with that irritating spelling affectation of throwing too many vowels into a simple word.  Here’s why.

They’re a bunch of fucking Communists.

I don’t know how many people reading this are acquainted with the political stance of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) or its political face Sinn Fein (“shin fen”)*, but I took the time to study it many years ago, and it’s essentially Das Kapital  with a Gaelic accent.  Don’t get fooled by all that “One Ireland” blather they put out about reunification of the island under one flag;  that’s just the maskirovka  to disguise the IRA’s real intentions for the Irish state:  pure cold-blooded totalitarianism of the Stalinist ilk.

Here’s a recent post about that, describing the political stance of the current asshole running Ireland:

  • Tried to impose hate speech laws. 
  • Made Irish people second class citizens under law by introducing hate crime laws. 
  • Flooded Ireland with immigrants. 
  • Admitted breaking the economy in 2008. 
  • Doesn’t believe in Irish sovereignty. 
  • Imposed the longest lockdown in the EU. 
  • Activated nationwide digital surveillance of the entire population, which remains ongoing.

Remember, this asshole and his political party were elected to power by the Irish electorate, and there’s no evidence to suggest that they’ll be tossed out of power anytime soon either.

In addition to all the above, let’s not forget that the Irish have a long record of anti-Semitism — it’s as ingrained as Catholicism — and it’s reached its apogee with their current support of Hamas.  As Simon Sebag-Montefiore puts it:

The Irish government has become the most active and noisy critic of the Jewish state in the entire Western world. It is much more hostile than much of the Arab world itself.

And on case you think that the Irish government is not representative of the people of Ireland, allow me to disagree:

A survey in June by the news site The Journal found that 76 percent of Irish people believed the EU should impose economic trade sanctions on Israel over the conflict.  Protesters at rallies in Dublin told AFP they feel empathy with Palestinians due to Ireland’s centuries-long history resisting British rule.

Oh sure:  “We’re all victims of colonialism!” is the standard trope of neo-socialist Third World nations everywhere.  It is precisely the same reason why South Africa (also run by a bunch of “former” terrorists) supports Hamas.

As far as I’m concerned, however, this anti-Semitism is just another reason for me to dislike the Irish.

In that wonderful movie The Commitments, one of the characters excuses the Irish band’s playing of R&B music with the statement:  “Why shouldn’t we play Black music?  The Irish are the niggers of Europe!”

I hate to break it to you, Paddy, but if you are the niggers of Europe, it’s because you created that situation for yourselves (unlike, say, South African Blacks who were oppressed simply for the color of their skin).  Why else the “no dogs or Irish”  signs in places like Boston and New York during the mass immigration waves of the Victorian era?

And can anyone find justification for Catholic/Protestant sectarian strife in Ireland?  That’s even more inexplicable than the Muslim/Jewish violence — or maybe it’s the same;  I find it difficult to understand people who might actually get violent over what is to me the same as the Coke/Pepsi animosity (essentially the same stuff, just different packaging).

The fact of the matter is that the Irish are basically a thoroughly unpleasant lot, and all the “Kiss me I’m Irish” / St. Patrick’s Day / “luck of the Irish”-type propaganda is pure blarney — or to give it its real name, bullshit.

By the way, speaking of St. Patrick’s Day, the aforementioned saint didn’t drive snakes out of Ireland for the simple reason that there never were any snakes in Ireland to begin with.  Just another piece of Irish bullshit, like four-leaf clovers being a lucky charm.

Finally, let me go on record as saying that Guinness is horrible-tasting sludge, Bushmills / Jameson whiskies are just cheap derivations of Scotch, soda bread tastes like cardboard and Irish stew is an oily abomination which should be avoided at all costs.  Don’t even get me started on boiled corned beef and cabbage.

And I’m sure the country itself is beautiful, as long as you don’t mind the constant chill, wind and rain.

*The IRA/Sinn Fein combination is best illustrated by a comparison to the Hamas/CAIR relationship:  the first is a bunch of murderous assholes, and the second is the “public face” of the same murderous assholes.
