Nice of you guys to finally realize this:

Breitbart Business Digest: The Wheels Are Coming Off the U.S. Economy

The Manufacturing Sector Sees Slower Demand, Falling Production, Declining Employment

…now apply that metric to just about every other sector of the U.S. economy (i.e. retail and wholesale) for the complete picture.

There are a few relatively simple solutions to this, but here’s a clue: they’re unlikely to be implemented in the numbers or at the scale required for them to work — and that’s under a Republican administration. Under a Harris/Walz regime, not only will the solutions not be enacted, but the precise opposite will take place: more government spending, more choking of key industries, more and higher taxes, and so on.

In the meantime: buy ammo, not shares.

And send it to Gen. George Custer; it sounds like he may need some more.

Quote Of The Day

September 4, 2024 Kim du Toit Government Thugs, Marxists, Surveillance Society

From Insty, referring to this post:

“Let’s be honest, the people running the world are not only corrupt, but spectacularly incompetent. For their lousy performance alone they should be tarred and feathered; for their “impudence” in attempting dictatorship they deserve worse. But it really seems that over the past few years the ruling class of the West has been preparing for war against its owns citizenry. Again: Why?”

Because, Professor Reynolds, the socialist state has always been better at waging war against its own people than against foreigners. The French Revolution’s Reign of Terror was not directed at the Germans, Spanish or the Italians, but against the very French citizens the Revolution had purported to liberate. The Communist Revolution in 1917 Russia ended up slaughtering and imprisoning far more working- and middle-class Russians than had ever been killed under the Romanovs.

And it will be far easier for the West’s ruling class to oppress the populace than t would be to, say, oppress foreigners. The ubiquitous surveillance cameras are in London, Los Angeles, Paris and Berlin — not in Bangalore, Rio de Janeiro or Manila. And the coming clampdown on free speech will affect Musk’s TwitterX, Bill Whittle and me and the Readers of this website, not Burmese peasants or Masai cattle herders.

Not only was it untrue that Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia; there’s a distinct possibility that Oceania had never been at war with Eastasia — the war being simply a propaganda concoction to justify the repression of the inhabitants of Oceania.

So when the lackeys of the ruling class — that would be, say, the police forces of Britain and the FBI here in the US — start muttering darkly about the “hard-Right” or “MAGA-followers” as they prepare for mass arrests and imprisonments, it’s us they’ll be coming for.

As for Glenn’s why? the answer’s simple: because they can. Glenn is a thoughtful, intelligent and civilized man, and he simply cannot comprehend the feral nature of those who would rule over us.

They — to a man — are amoral cocksuckers. And the sooner we recognize that and start treating them accordingly, the better.

Rank

September 4, 2024 Kim du Toit Lists, Politics

…and that means not only an order, but also the smell.

“Kim, WTF are you talking about?”

Some smart guy (Robert Graboyes, at the splendidly-named Bastiat’s Window ) decided that Teh Experts cocked it up (surprise, surprise):

Two recent BW posts (“Polls, Pols, and Poli-Sci” and “Presidential Prodigiousness Potpourri”) lambasted the Bizarro World of presidential rankings from the 2024 Presidential Greatness Project Expert Survey. Some of the more ludicrous findings are summarized/caricatured in the graphic above. Several readers asked me to offer my own rankings. I can’t do a 1-through-45 list, but I can lump them into five tiers: (T#1) highly positive, (T#2) somewhat positive, (T#3) neutral, (T#4) somewhat negative, and (T#5) highly negative.

Go ahead and read it before continuing here.

My only quibbles are that Obama and Biden (the latter a.k.a. Obama The Much Lesser) didn’t end up in Tier 5, the absolute stinkers; and that Calvin Coolidge wasn’t in Tier 1 (although I will cop to being a yuge fan of Coolidge, so I may be biased).

I can’t fault Graboyes’s methodology, however, in that he refused to take into account what the presidents did when not in the Oval office (either before or after), which is good. His example:

Madison’s role in the Federalist Papers and Constitution make him a titan, but his presidency was mediocre.

He did include some non-Presidential material, though:

…Jimmy Carter, who has made himself a national pustule for over four decades.

By the same token, therefore Obama should be likewise excoriated because “national pustule” would be too kind a judgment on his post-Presidential shenanigans.

Feel free to discuss the observations of both Graboyes and mine, in Comments.

If You Build It, They Will Come

September 4, 2024 Kim du Toit Taxes and Theft

…and if you try to steal it, they will leave:

Millionaires are looking to flee the UK in their droves to escape Labour’s tax raids – with a record number of wealthy Britons tipped to leave the country this year.

Advisers to the UK’s richest households told yesterday how phones are ringing off the hook as their clients rush for the exit, as Chancellor Rachel Reeves plans to hike levies in its autumn Budget on October 30.

It follows PM Keir Starmer’s speech this week in which he painted a woeful picture of the state of the country’s economy, referring to financial ‘black holes’, as he braced the UK for a difficult Autumn budget.

The smart ones left long ago — some as much as a year before this new lot of Socialists came to power, I’m told — and most of the really smart ones made plans for this eventuality even earlier than that.

You see, not only are The Rich quite intelligent (trust fund babies and nobility aside), they also have access to all sorts of intelligence that others don’t. At Rich Fart #1’s afternoon cocktail party, for instance, one of the topics might be a sharing of information as to the best bolt-holes to flee to when the financial SHTF, along with the best methods to implement such flight. And Rich Farts #2-7 hand over details of which lawyers, tax experts, bankers and so on would be the best to facilitate said flights.

They’re so far ahead of the game, in other words, that they’ll be gone long before H.M. tax sharks send out the list of desirable legislation for the Socialists to pass. Hell, I bet that most have gone — or at least, their money’s gone — already.

Dealing With Mutti’s Legacy

August 27, 2024 Kim du Toit Immigration

All the chickens implicit in The Great Cultural Assimilation Project© are coming home to roost, in ever-increasing numbers and with ever-increasing frequency. Here’s the latest (at time of writing, anyway):

A major manhunt is underway in Germany after an attacker stabbed to death three people at a festival on Friday evening in the western city of Solingen but police say they are yet to identify the suspect.

Those killed in the attack have been revealed as two men aged 67 and 56, and a woman aged 56. Eight others were injured, including four with life-threatening injuries.

A motivation for the attack, which has sent shockwaves through the country, has not yet been determined and terrorism has not been ruled out. While Islamic State claimed responsibility, it offered no evidence to back up its claim.

Uh huh.

Indeedy, yes. From a later report:

The Syrian asylum seeker suspected of killing three and injuring several others at a “festival of diversity” in Germany on Friday reportedly had a deportation order last year, but authorities failed to remove him from the country.

Anybody surprised by this? No? Then we may continue, this time looking at the response:

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz talked tough on a visit to the scene of the knife attack.

How tough?

“We must do everything to ensure that such things never happen in our country, if possible,” Scholz said of the attack. He predicted a toughening knife laws in particular “and this should and will happen very quickly.”

You see, this is where the true effects of Angela Merkel’s legacy come into play. The Germans are affording immigrants the same kind of legal protections they grant German citizens, instead of, say, reintroducing the death penalty for any non-German citizen found guilty of a capital crime in the country. Noooooo! or rather Neeeiiiiiinnnn! that would be ummm discriminatory, wouldn’t it?

At least they could deport these assholes super-quickly — not to their “home countries”, but to some other shithole like, say, Somalia or a similar Muslim stronghold.

And here’s a perfect example of the German government’s blinkered attitude:

Green Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck also called for a tightening of knife laws, saying there must be “more weapon ban zones and stricter weapon laws.”

“No one has to carry stabbing or cutting weapons in public spaces in Germany,” said the Green politician. “We no longer live in the Middle Ages.”

You stupid shit. You may not be living in the Middle Ages, but these fucking Islamic assholes certainly are.

Thanks to previous German immigration policies (Mutti Merkel, danke ), you’ve imported the Middle Ages into the 21st century.

And what a Middle-Ages mindset needs is appropriate (i.e. medieval) punishments, but there’s no way the oh-so-civilized German government is going to open that little door, thanks to their ummmm earlier behavior less than a century ago.

You might as well surrender now, unless you’re prepared to get serious.
