Re-Directing The Dollars

Something struck me when I was reading this fine report about the closure of the dreadful USAID department, and it relates to budget priorities.  Consider this little litany of silliness:

Now just in cash terms, those items alone account for about $7.5million, being sent to furriners.

The question:  Wouldn’t those dollars have been better spent by sending them to those folks in North Carolina blown out of their homes by tropical storm Helene? 

And the corollary question:  Wouldn’t those “hundreds of thousands of meals” been more appreciated by those same North Carolinians, many of whom, months after the storm, are still living in TENTS?

Let’s put all this into concrete terms that people can understand.

The problem with being such a wealthy country is that sometimes we’re blase about sums of money that seem trivial in the grand scheme of things;  $7.5million doesn’t seem like a lot of money compared to other budgetary expenditures, and indeed it isn’t at a macro level.

But let’s convert that “macro” to “micro”.  Giving $75,000 dollars each to a hundred families in desperate need of assistance — American families, let me remind you — has the potential to turn their lives around completely.  And that’s worth a lot more than a ticket to an LGBTOSTFU opera in Colombia.

Stop pissing money away on foreigners and start looking after American taxpayers.

Fun And Games, Africa Style

To the surprise of absolutely no African nor anyone who knows anything at all about the Dark Continent, this happened in the Congo — a.k.a. the Balkans of Africa:

Hundreds of women were raped and then burnt alive after Rwandan-backed rebels sparked chaos by storming into the Congolese city of Goma, it has emerged.

The atrocity took place during a mass jail break from the Munzenze jail last week, as M23 fighters clashed with the Congolese army during deadly gun battles. 

According to the UN, female inmates were butchered in their wing in the notoriously overcrowded prison after men forced their way in and went on a rampage. 

In this latest round of inter-tribal warfare, I understand that many UN peacekeeping troops were also killed.  Now as much as I detest the United Nations as an organization, it seems to me that the UN should, finally, admit defeat when it comes to les affaires d’Afrique, and get the hell out of the way so that these assholes can carry on slaughtering each other until the last one standing kills himself.

Letting Africa sink, to coin a phrase.

Needless to say, it’s absolutely no place for the U.S. to get involved, whether financially or (gawd forbid) militarily.

Consorting With The Devil

I’ve written before that it should be no surprise that South Africa’s ANC government is always going to align itself with evil countries and terrorist organizations, because the ANC itself is at heart a terrorist organization and always has been (especially when its leader, the sainted Nelson Mandela, was in prison for terrorist activities).

So the news about the ANC government legalizing property seizure (from Whites, duh) is very definitely par for the course.

However, in this case, the ANC has discovered (probably to their complete shock and surprise) that such evil actions may have consequences that may not be to their liking or advantage:

President Donald Trump announced Sunday that he is suspending all U.S. aid to South Africa after the latter passed a law on land expropriation, which many fear could lead to Zimbabwe-style seizures of land owned by white citizens.

…to which our only response should be:

More like this please, Yer Trumpness.

Ah Yes, That Old Evil

Predictably, we’re starting to see that old bugbear start to rear its ugly head again:

Just to address Item #2:

She describes “a sense of urgency” as a damaging characteristic, arguing that it discourages inclusivity, long-term thinking, and learning from mistakes.

This “urgency” argument has even been used to criticize white workers who complete projects quickly or work overtime. Some activists also claim deadlines and strict arrival times are unfair because they don’t account for cultural differences—such as “Black time.”

“Black time” (or “Colored People’s Time” / CPT) is a term sometimes used to describe habitual tardiness in Black communities. NPR’s Karen Bates explains that she learned about CPT as meaning “clock-challenged” and used as a self-referential joke within Black culture.

Still, some academics take this idea seriously.

“Unjust experiences of time are the reason that due dates and deadlines are so harmful—they amplify racism, sexism, classism, and ableism that already deprive the most vulnerable in our communities of their basic rights and dignities,” certain professors argue.

We used to call this “Africa Time” back in my old homeland, and it wasn’t very fashionable amongst Blacks during the apartheid era (because they’d get fired for habitual tardiness), but since the Blessed Mandela’s ANC took over, it has become very much a thing (surprise, surprise).

And the other items on the list are equally wrong-headed and utter bullshit — prime examples of “you should have to change the institution to accommodate me”, and not the other way round.

Bloody hell, as if the airlines aren’t already using Black Time.

Not that this Oklin pustule is a solo act, mind you.  Here’s another one:

A University of North Dakota history professor who studies the American West believes monuments depicting the pioneers “reinforce white supremacy.”

In an interview this week with KJZZ Phoenix, Cynthia Prescott (pictured) discussed her research on pioneer monuments, including a book that argues the artwork promotes “white cultural superiority” and “gender stereotypes.”

Much like with Confederate monuments, the professor said America should re-examine artwork honoring American settlers.

“A lot of people have talked about Confederate monuments in particular, as being monuments that were put up in the late 19th, early 20th centuries for the purpose of enshrining a racial hierarchy. And through my work, I argue that Western pioneer monuments were doing very similar cultural work,” she told KJZZ.

Fucking hell;  left to non-Whites, the U.S. would still have the Mississippi River as its western border and not the Pacific.

Yup, it’s just another “deconstruction” of history to change it into something that’s more to the bullshit philosophy of Wokism and “racial justice”.

Just for identification purposes, here are the two above pseudo-academics, just to make recognition easier:

I know;  you never expected them to look like that, did you?

And by the way, the “bugbear” I referred to in the opening is not “White supremacy”, but the continued efforts of academia to undermine the very fabric of our nation.

Another Perspective

Last month I examined Christopher Rufo’s opinion on modern-day anarchism (although he calls it nihilism).  Now I see that Freddie de Boer has a slightly different take on the matter:

I argue that there is a certain treacherous animal spirit stalking around in the WEIRD world, particularly among the young, a yearning for deliverance… and if they have to, they’ll take deliverance through violence. Our culture has erased transcendent meaning and left in its place short-form internet video, frothy pop music, limitless pornography, Adderall for the educated and fentanyl for the not, a ceaseless parade of minor amusements that distract but never satisfy. And people want to be satisfied; they want something durable. They want something to hold on to. They want to transcend the ordinary. And I’m afraid that, with God dead and the romantic ideal ironized into annihilation, the pure thrill of violence is one of the only outlets left to express the inexpressible, and committing violent acts is free.

It is an excellent study, and I recommend it greatly.

And while I’ll leave the solution thereof to the psychologists and therapists, I’m suggesting that now — more than ever — is the time when one should always be armed, less some disaffected young asshole takes it in his head to experience the “thrill of violence” at a place where you happen to be.

It’s bad enough that we should be armed against random robbers not to mention those of the BLM/Antifa persuasion, but now there might be some dreamy anarchists to deal with as well…

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.
