Not Failing

Like most conservatives, I was astonished to see that in the coming Fall [sic]  NYfC will be electing a raging Marxist (again) to be their mayor.

I mean, seriously?  Did they not learn their lesson with De Blasio?

Then a parallel issue emerged when looking at who voted for whom.  (Another side issue:  it says a lot when that little shit disgraced ex-NYGov Andrew Cuomo is seen as the “moderate” choice.)

Actually, “our higher education system” is not failing at all, when you consider that the function of our college system is to further the spread of Marxism.  In fact, in light of the above election result, their performance is a remarkable success.

Hence:

Quote Of The Day

“It’s ironic that Democrats want Iran to have nukes but don’t want you to have a gun.” — Tim Burchett

It’s not ironic, really.  The unarmed will always be at the mercy of the armed criminal, and the Left is quite okay with that as long as they themselves are protected.

It’s as true for nations as it is with individuals.

When Facts Meet Dogma

…it’s no competition at all.  Bernie Sanders must have been insane (I know, I know) to agree to go on Joe Rogan’s podcast.

“You gotta deal with this climate change issue,” Sanders insisted. “It ain’t a hoax.” He trotted out the standard leftist claim that the last decade was “the warmest on record” and promised that a green energy overhaul would magically create “millions of good-paying jobs.”
But Rogan didn’t let Bernie get away with that kind of simplistic narrative. Instead, he calmly pointed out that Earth’s climate is far more complex and historically volatile than Sanders wants to admit. “The Earth’s temperature has never been static,” Rogan said. “It’s always been up and down. There’s been ice ages and heat waves.”
Referencing a recent Washington Post piece, Rogan brought up the inconvenient truth that global temperatures, when viewed over a longer timeline, appear to be in a cooling phase, something that completely undermines the urgency of the left’s climate panic. “Look at the far end of that graph,” Rogan said, quoting the Post’s data. “You see, we’re in a cooling period.”
Sanders tried to pivot, admitting that he hadn’t read the article, but Rogan began to point out how climate change is a huge grift. “There’s a lot of money involved in this whole climate change emergency issue,” he said. “And there’s a lot of control.”

It’s the “control” part that gets me,  Telling me that after some date or other I’ll have to drive an electric car, or if I don’t, I’ll be restricted to x number of miles before my car gets shut down remotely;  that I’ll have to put up with regular brownouts / blackouts because electricity generation must be either wind- or solar-generated;  having to become a vegetarian because cattle-emissions damage the atmosphere…

The list goes on and on, and all that changes is that more and more means of control are introduced into our daily lives.

The hell with all of them, and the hell with Bernie Sanders who, despite being a self-confessed Marxist has somehow [eyeroll]  managed to become a multimillionaire property owner since be was elected to the Senate.

Quote Of The Day

From Insty:

“We have an awful lot of illegal aliens in the country, plenty of whom could be Iranian sleeper agents and some of whom certainly are. Are there enough to do anything significant? Who knows? Is there anyone left in the Iranian leadership capable of ordering something like that? Possibly not.

“But if you sometimes carry a gun, the next couple of weeks should be among those times.” 

What he said.  I can only add:  “…with a couple of extra mags.”

And carry it all the time, not just sometimes.

Dept. Of Righteous Shootings

From Chicago, no less.  Read it all, but here’s the executive summary:

Just 18 minutes before the shooting, around 10:30 p.m., a gunman robbed a man near the corner of Fulton and Kilpatrick in Austin and drove off with the victim’s gray 2025 Toyota Corolla, according to a preliminary CPD report.

At approximately 10:43 p.m., two women were robbed at gunpoint in the 2500 block of West Haddon in Humboldt Park. The victims, both 27, told police they were outside when a car pulled up, and a man exited the vehicle with a firearm, a CPD spokesperson said. The man demanded their valuables and fled with the victims’ purses, phones, and wallets.

For his third and final act, the robber steered the hijacked Toyota onto the 1400 block of North Artesian at 10:48 p.m. He decided to try to rob a 36-year-old concealed carry holder who was unloading a vehicle on the block, according to CPD.

As the robber displayed a gun and demanded the victim’s property, the victim drew his own firearm and shot the robber multiple times in the chest and head. EMS transported the robber to Stroger Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

I’ve heard of the “three strikes” principle, but this one takes the cake.  Clearly, our little 18-year-old choirboy played his property redistribution game just one time too many.

And if you didn’t get the giggles at the “multiple shots to the chest and head” thing, we can’t be friends.

Quote Of The Day

From that Muzzie asshole:

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Wednesday his country “will never surrender” as President Trump urged him to end reciprocal air strikes with Israel. 

“It isn’t wise to tell the Iranian nation to surrender,” Khamenei posted on X. “What should the Iranian nation surrender to? We will never surrender in response to the attacks of anyone. This is the logic of the Iranian nation. This is the spirit of the Iranian nation.”

Two words (I think):  Germany 1945.

Challenge accepted.
