QOTD

From Ward Clark, talking about POTUS’s latest effort to clean up the voting process and the reaction of ILGov Fatboi Pritzker thereto:

“No Democrat, anywhere, objects to someone being required to not only show ID but also to undergo a background check to buy a firearm.  But to show an ID to verify citizenship for voter registration, or to actually vote, it seems, is a bridge too far.”

Of course.  And the Socialists have to have illegal voters and fraudulent ballots in the process because most sane Americans — U.S. citizens — think that Democrats are a bunch of loonies and would rather vote for a dead skunk than a Democrat and their insane, unnatural and unworkable policies.  (I read somewhere that some Democrat pollster discovered that if all registered voters in the country had been forced to go to the 2024 polls at gunpoint, Trump would have won the popular vote not by 1.7% but by over 5%.  No wonder they’re panicking.)

But you all knew that.

QOTD, Travels

From SOTI:

“The secret to Paris is to go to any of the major sites, turn around, and walk 45 minutes in the opposite direction.  Paris becomes absolutely lovely.”

Couldn’t agree more.  One of the highlights of one of my trips to Paris was walking from the Louvre / Palais Royal to our apartment on the Place de la Bastille, all the way along the Rue de Rivoli / Rue Ste-Antoine.

Of course, the above were taken with Google maps, during the summer.  I was there in December, so the streets looked nothing like this. Here’s the Place de la Bastille as it actually was:
Yeah, something about “witch’s tit cold” comes to mind…

LGBTOSTFU, QOTD

From John Nolte:

“A public that had come to sympathize with the bigotry and treatment of homosexuals no longer feels that same goodwill. After all, we were told that gay people just wanted to be left alone, to be allowed to live and let live. That turned out to be a big, fat lie. In about six seconds we went from, How does my same-sex marriage affect you, to openly targeting little kids with grooming, gay porn in elementary schools, drag queens reading to kids, boys playing in girls’ sports, men barging into women’s bathrooms and locker rooms, and this monstrous push to permanently mutilate children as sacrifices to the trans gods.”

Phrases such as “camel’s nose”, “thin end of the wedge” and “slippery slope” come to mind.

QOTD, Taxes and Theft

From our old buddy Senator Schmuckie Schumer (Soc-NY), talking about taxes:

“You know what their attitude is?  ‘I made my money all by myself. How dare your government take my money from me?’ “

Couldn’t have put it better myself, asshole.  And it’s not just “greedy business owners” who feel that way, either — something your Party Of Thieves is going to discover soon enough.

QOTD

…from Britishland:

The fundamental problem confronting PM Keir Starmer and Chancellor* Reeves is that Britain’s state is reliant on growth to fund itself, while also doing its apparent best to block it. The transition to net zero, the generosity of the welfare state that undermines work incentives, the planning system that effectively vetoes investment, and the tax system that pays for the same, have more effectively blocked Britain’s prosperity than any number of de-growth activists. The result of this stagnation, coupled with a fiscal state already stretched to its limits, is that each disappointing growth out-turn finds the Prime Minister and Chancellor attempting to find new ways to make it through one more Office for Budget Responsibility forecast period while the premium applied to British debt continues to go up.

Sucks to be them, dunnit?  Although under FJB’s presidency, we were headed alarmingly down the same path.

*Chancellor of the Exchequer is kinda like our Treasury Secretary, only the Chancellor actually sets and defines the national budget.

Drive Time, Eco-Crap, QOTD

From EPA Head Guy Lee Zeldin:

The EPA will continue to protect human health and the environment while unleashing America’s full potential. That means reconsidering the regulations that have restricted every sector of the economy, such as the illegal Clean Power Plan 2.0, Mercury and Air Toxics Standards, and Particulate Matter 2.5 levels. Under President Trump guidance, the EPA also has ended the electric-vehicle mandate that threatened to destroy America’s auto industry and made cars cost more. Instead of forcing Americans to buy expensive vehicles they neither want nor can keep powered up, we are restoring choice to consumers and bringing automaking jobs back home in line with our Great American Comeback initiative. This commitment to our manufacturing base contrasts with Biden administration policies that shipped jobs overseas.

What was that?  Sorry, I couldn’t hear you over the sound of big American-made engines revving…
