Pelosi the Heretic
Timothy Birdnow
Nancy Pelosi was excommunicated by her Bishop for her pro-abortion and other anti-Catholic policy positions but the woman is just determined to reside in the nether regions and has openly defied the Church and is receiving Communion anyway.
To receive Communion unworthily is another sin, a bad one, a mortal sin, the kind leading to eternal damnation.
If Pelosi doesn't agree with the Church she should quit and join, say, the Old Catholics who I believe are o.k. with abortion.
But she continues to call herself Catholic and defies the Church openly and willfully.
We need to pray for her soul. I will, although my heart really isn't in it. But damnation is something you cannot wish on anyone, even the very worst people, because it is eternal. Purgatory, sure,but not damnation. We want justice - damnation really isn't justice but it's what some people choose.

Wray Goes Away
Timothy Birdnow
Christopher Wray runs for the tall grass.
Yes, the duplicitous Wray, who was appointed by Trump then went native and led the charge to take his benefactor out, is leaving town as fast as possible before the ax falls on his head.
The incoming Trump Administration should not let him get away that easily. He needs to answer for his crimes.

Antenora and the Biden Administration
Timothy Birdnow
Joe Biden wants to punish America and is content to blow up the whole world to do it.
Turns out he gave ten BILLION dollars in sanctions relief just days after Trump's election.
FTA:
And this while Iran was supporting terrorist attacks on Israel.
I fear for Joe Biden's soul, I really do. If he is the one making these decisions then he may face a very, very hot time in the hereafter. Whoever is making these decisions is facing damnation, in my view. Of course it could be a very COLD damnation if Dante was correct; traitors to kin or country wound up in Antenora, where their spiritual bodies were frozen in an icey lake, a lake chilled by the endless breeze from Satan's wings as he tried to fly out of his prison. That's where the whole Biden Administration will end up if Dante's vision was accurate.

FTA:
On November 8, Secretary of State Antony Blinken determined that "it is in the national security interest of the United States” to waive mandatory economic sanctions that bar Iraq from transferring over $10 billion to Iran in electricity import payments.
The Biden State Department tweaked the waiver last year to allow Tehran to convert the funds from Iraqi dinars to euros, then hold those euros in bank accounts based in Oman.
Iran’s access to currencies like the euro allows it to easily spend cash in international markets.

Go Woke Go Broke!
Timothy Birdnow
A crazy Idaho hair stylist has wrecked her own business after an unhinged anti-Trump rant in which she calls for her Trump-supporting customers to go away.
Says she'd rather work at Chipotles. Looks like she'll get the chance.

Killing Healthcare
Timothy Birdnow
Here is a story aboutt Luigi Mangione and his manifesto and other documents.
I won't summarize; you can read it for yourself. I just wanted to comment on one or two items.
First, the kid had a complete temper tantrum when being brought into his court hearing. He complained "it's totally unfair". Unfair? Isn't shooting a man in the back unfair? If he had any balls he would have given his victim a gun, or a knife and used a knife himself so there was a fair fight.
This only proves what an entitled, spoiled brat Mangione is.
Second, there is this little bit of horsepoop promoted by the leftist Daily Beast when discussing Mangione's hatred of health insurance companies:
"It claimed that the United States had the 'most expensive healthcare system in the world,' but blasted the system for making America only the 42nd in life expectancy.
According to the most recent data published by the World Health Organization in 2020 found that life expectancy in the US was 78-and-a-half years for both men and women - ranking it 40th compared to other countries.
A 2023 report by the World Economic Forum also found that the US had the most expensive healthcare compared to other mostly Western countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
It reported that Americans were spending an estimated $12,318 per person in 2021, compared to $7,383 spent per person in Germany, the second most expensive system."
end
Notice this comes from the intenational socialist World Economic Forum.
But it in no way asks WHY and assumes the cause is greedy health insurance companies. But is it.
IF this data is correct (and I rather suspect not but am not going to waste a large amount of time digging for better data) one must ask why Canadians,with their wonderful free healthcare, come here for treatment on a regular basis. And it comes back to the dirty little secret - America is chock full of Third World immigrants, both legal and illegal, coming from nations where people die at an early age from diseases that are treatable.
America currently has sixty million aliens, legal and illegal, residing here. In other words we have a Third World nation hidden inside of the First World America. Many of the legals get decent healthcare, no doubt, but the illegals almost all do not go for care except when the must, and then it's to the emergency room.
The diseases they bring with them, and the damage to their bodies from their past lives, guarantees early senescence and death. And it is THEY who drive the life expectancy down.
Ditto with the black community, where many of the black folks don't go to doctors out of fear of some sort of genocide as many in their community paranoidly believe.
Also, life expectancy is dragged down through death by violence. Both the Hispanic community and the African American community suffers from that particular malady. Crime, my friends, leads America to a lower life expectancy. The people blaming insurance companies for that are the same folks who won't take criminals off the streets.
One must ask, too, why it's more expensive to get healthcare coverage in America. Well, for starters, the U.S. government makes these companies cover everyone regardless of their health status, which means they have to charge the rest of their customers more. It is illegal to deny coverage.
In Germany and the other European nations they have government run healthcare systems and so their population pays less AT THE SERVICE PROVIDER but pays more in taxes. And of course they don't have to pay much for national defense, something costing America and arm and a leg as we not only protect ourselves but much of the world and that means our taxes are rather high.
We have far superior health care, as that business about Canadians coming here proves.
I would add our current system is broken indeed, but who broke it? Mostly it was the government, going all the way back to FDR.
FDR started the employer-based healthcare system in America. He pushed taxes up so high on income that employers began offering compensation in other ways, ways not taxed. One such form of compensation was health insurance for their workers. It was cheap then. But it became the standard for obtaining insurance and the insurance companies worked it out so there were groups - usually companies - where the price was tied to the amount of money coming in from that group and the amount being handed out as benefits. Small businesses paid a lot more for insurance than big corporations as a result. You also had labor unions forming enormous groups which favored this approach.
Then came Medicare, which was a disaster for medical prices. Now the government was setting prices by refusing to pay market rates, and demanding companies lose money by following a schedual of compensation. These companies aren't in business to lose money; they simply raised prices to cover their losses. Hospitals too raised prices because the insurance companies always tried to lowball them - and because the government made them treat patients who couldn't pay. So they jacked up the rates to cover their losses elsewhere.
It's been on an upward trajectory ever since. And the solution the Left and our government has always turned to is more of the same, more government intervention, larger, more expansive medical alliances, etc. Consolidation and more government regulation just drove prices upward and care down.
At any rate we now have a quasi-government payer program thanks to Obama and it only metastasized the problem and eliminated competition. Most doctors are now part of these big healthcare corporations; the independent doctor is a rare critter indeed, and endangered species. And now all doctors are specialists because that is the only way they can make enough money to pay off their student loans. And pay their malpractice insurance, which has gone through the roof thanks to the big trial lawyers chasing million dollar malpractice cases. And THAT was another thing empowered by our government.
But nobody wants to talk about any of that, or look at the obvious which is that private market insurance would actually bring prices down and care up. We do not have a free market-based system,but a voluntary socialism, a socialism akin to Nazi economics.
It's called corporatism.
Look, I hate these big insurance companies as much as anyone. Anthem Blue Cross wanted to let me die from heart failure, and I do mean that. They refused to cover a lifevest, which is a gadget designed to restart your heart if it stops (and mine was about to stop). They said it was "not medically necessary" because they only approe it in cases of people waiting to get pacemaker/defibrilators installed and I was not eligible for one because they require "six months of careful study" before they will implant one. So I was supposed to wait six months when my heart was on the verge of stopping. May as well just tell me "go away and die already".
I appealed to the State of Missouri and went through arbitration. The arbitrator heard my side of the story and read their letter to me. Her exact words were "Oh MY God!" She couldn't believe how callous and idiotic they were. I won the case and got my $12,000 bill payed.
I've had many other problems with them.
So I don't have any love for these companies, but you cannot lay the blame for this solely on them; much of it is a case of very bad public policy, policy promoted by the Left, by The Daily Beast types.
Mangione could have taken action against these companies, sure, but legal action. More importantly he could have promoted free market competition - the best, quickest way to reform the system.
Corporations do what they do for a reason. Generally money is made by serving the public, but with these big corporations and with America's health care system money is to be made by pleasing government and the providers and not the patient. The patient isn't the customer, even though he's the one sending in money. They rightly see the patient as a captive market with no choice. That is what is wrong with the system; the only way these companies make money (their primary purpose for existing) is to treat the patient like a ward of the system and not a paying customer. They WANT few companies in any given market so they can make their profits and not have to worry about pleasing the patients. Competition would force them to be more responsive to the public.
But guys like Mangione and the folks at Daily Beast want to move in the exact opposite direction.
I remember a sketch by the good folks at Monty Python's Flying circus back in the '70's where a patient had turned into a skeleton while waiting to see a doctor at a British Health Service hospital. They saw back then how this worked. We should have listened to the good folks at Monty Python.

Chinese Naval Exercises off Taiwan
Timothy Birdnow
China is conducting a massive naval exercise right off the coast of Taiwan in a giant taunt of Joe Biden.
Accorig to the Daily Caller article:
Weakness usually leads to war. Biden has elevated weakness to an art form.
Meanwhile a Chinese citizen was arrested for flying drones over U.S. military installations.
China is conducting a massive naval exercise right off the coast of Taiwan in a giant taunt of Joe Biden.
Accorig to the Daily Caller article:
The Chinese navy deployed a group of 60 ships and 30 coast guard vessels off the coast of Taiwan this week in what appears to be their largest show of force since 1996, according to the Wall Street Journal Tuesday. The move comes as Biden has increasingly winded down his duties in anticipation of passing his responsibilities to Trump, punctuated by him appearing to fall asleep during a meeting with African leaders in Angola Dec. 4.

Hochul Pocus
Timothy Birdnow
Gee, one free trip to the grocery store, or maybe a couple tanks of gas!
NY Gov. Hochul Announces Questionable Plan to "Fight Inflation" by Giving Everyone $300
Of course this is money coming out of the pockets of people who are struggling with inflation to give them this shopping spree in the first place. At least with the Feds they just print more money; state governments cannot do that. It's just musical chairs.
Hochum's scheme was met with derision. From the article:
Wouldn't it be amazing if New York would elect a Republican governor? They've had them before, after all.
Hochul is attempting to do a magicians act here, making it appear she's doing something about inflation when in fact she's just waiving her magic wand and saying "hocus pocus" and hoping to fool the audience. Sadly she's a rank amateur magician who fools nobody.

Hochum's scheme was met with derision. From the article:
"Newsflash for Kathy Hochul. Taking thousands of dollars out of New Yorkers’ left pocket and then putting $500 in their right pocket isn’t a tax cut, it’s an insult. And it’s precisely why millions of New Yorkers have headed for the exits," responded Republican Rep. Mike Lawler for New York.
"If you cut taxes and spending as an actual leader would do, you don't have to rely on gimmicks that reek of desperation and incompetence," replied former state Assemblyman Steve McLaughlin, a Republican.
Others mocked her for trying to fight inflation with a "solution" that would likely lead to higher inflation.
"Maybe take a basic Econ 101 class before proposing legislation. What's next? Is your plan to fight obesity to give everyone over 250lbs free donuts?" read one response.
"Giving out more money to people as an 'Inflation Refund' is literally the dumbest and least intelligent solution to inflation ... maybe ever," responded entrepreneur Darin Feinstein.
"This reads like satire to me. Handing out government money in an inflationary environment is exactly how more inflation occurs. It’s adding fuel to the fire," read another response.
Democrats just haven't figured out yet that this is a new era and we cannot play the old "tax and spend" games any longer. The vampires have sucked the body dry and it is now in danger of expiring."If you cut taxes and spending as an actual leader would do, you don't have to rely on gimmicks that reek of desperation and incompetence," replied former state Assemblyman Steve McLaughlin, a Republican.

Dems Seek to Sue Trump over J6
Timothy Birdnow
Ten Democrat members of Congress are seeking to sue Donald Trump over the January 6 business. This is an aggregious abuse of their positions and of the courts and should be dismissed based on standing and as frivolous.
I say based on standing because none of these people were actually damaged by Mr. Trump in any way. At worst some government property was damaged, not the individual congress critters. and Trump called for "peaceful and patriotic protest" not a riot.
If they do this they set a precedent and so we should sue them right back for defamation of character with the lies of the J6 Committee.
This shows how desperate they have become. They know the J6 Committee was a farce and they may be punished legally for crimes they committed through it. This is a pathetic attempt to regain the initiative, nothing more.
The Supreme Court could just dismiss the whole thing. Sadly I fear John Roberts may be too chicken-hearted to do so.

Israel Smites the Syrian Goliath
Timothy Birdnow
Israel has launched over a hundred airstrikes and sent ground troops into Syria to clean out the remnants of terrorist groups after the fall of the Assad regime. Furthermore, it has struck at chemical weapons plants and other key military installations, and is establishing a "sterile zone" to protect itself.
so what happens next? This will leave a power vacuum that must be filled. Will the U.N. send in "peacekeepers" to shore up the country? Will Turkey move in? Israel cannot afford to allow the nation to fall into the hands of hard-core Islamists.
No doubt Iran is weighing their options. They would move in directly if they could but I doubt they can project power that way.
I don't know if most people understand the profound ramifications of the fall of Assad; the Assad family ruled Syria for fifty years and now are gone - and with them the whole political order of the region is turned upside-down. Lebanon was largely a protectorate of Syria, which stepped in during the civil war there, and it now has nobody holding it's leash. Israel would logically be the new Big Dog in the area except no Muslim will listen to Israel and they don't have the manpower to control the region.
I strongly suspect there will be a United Nations/NATO/EU coalition that will try to move in to stabilize things. Otherwise the Turks will try to annexx it, or at least to "stabilize" it with troops. The Kurds are the Turks mortal enemies and they will want to crush them now that Syria is no longer in their way.
How long before Biden mobilizes American "peacekeepers" to go into the region? I know; he said it's not our fight (and he's right) but he said he wouldn't pardon Hunter either.
This is a chaotic situation and likely to grow more chaotic as the different factions seek to grab this particular jump ball.

Furthermore, it has struck at chemical weapons plants and other key military installations, and is establishing a "sterile zone" to protect itself.
so what happens next? This will leave a power vacuum that must be filled. Will the U.N. send in "peacekeepers" to shore up the country? Will Turkey move in? Israel cannot afford to allow the nation to fall into the hands of hard-core Islamists.
No doubt Iran is weighing their options. They would move in directly if they could but I doubt they can project power that way.
I don't know if most people understand the profound ramifications of the fall of Assad; the Assad family ruled Syria for fifty years and now are gone - and with them the whole political order of the region is turned upside-down. Lebanon was largely a protectorate of Syria, which stepped in during the civil war there, and it now has nobody holding it's leash. Israel would logically be the new Big Dog in the area except no Muslim will listen to Israel and they don't have the manpower to control the region.
I strongly suspect there will be a United Nations/NATO/EU coalition that will try to move in to stabilize things. Otherwise the Turks will try to annexx it, or at least to "stabilize" it with troops. The Kurds are the Turks mortal enemies and they will want to crush them now that Syria is no longer in their way.
How long before Biden mobilizes American "peacekeepers" to go into the region? I know; he said it's not our fight (and he's right) but he said he wouldn't pardon Hunter either.
This is a chaotic situation and likely to grow more chaotic as the different factions seek to grab this particular jump ball.

Joni Falls Down the Hill
Timothy Birdnow
I guess she decided this isn't the hill to die on; she would rather die on the Hill.
Key GOP holdout Joni Ernst says she will 'support' Pete Hegseth through nomination process
Ernst was destroying her own career with this and I suppose she finally realized that.
Time for her to go.

CA Paying Schools to Hide Sex Transitioning
Timothy Birdnow
Funny; I thought the People owned the government, not the other way around.
California pays schools to hide gender transition from parents.
So they are taking money from taxpayers to destroy the lives of innocent children and hide the fact from their parents. Only the most terrible tyrant would do such a thing.

Rupert Murdoch Losing Fox
Timothy Birdnow
Fox News has been in a slow but steady decline for some time, but this court ruling is the final nail in the coffin of what had once been conservative news.
Rupert Murdoch Fails in Bid to Change Family Trust
Rupert Murdoch had created an irrevocable trust dividing control of his company between his four eldest children but wanted to change that and give control to his sole conservative kid - Lachlan. A Nevada judge ruled against Murdoch, so his company will be under the control of all four.
The administrative judge in the case said Murdoch was "acting in bad faith" by seeking to change the terms of a trust he himself set up. "In bad faith"? Is the company his property or is it not?
Murdoch could take this to an actual court of law, and failing that could help Lachlan buy out his siblings.
But one thing is certain; Fox is going to fray.
I am a frequent critic of Fox, but the fact remains it is the only real viable alternative to the mainstream media we currently have, and it has done more to advance our cause and restore America than anyone save Reagan and Rush Limbaugh. If Fox turns to the dark side we will be shut out from the public discourse again, as it was in the beginning. All our gains will be lost, alas.
So we have a powerful interest in the outcome of this affair.

Europe Not Welcoming Syrians
Timothy Birdnow
Looks like the Europeans have FINALLY figured it out!
Germany, Britain and Austria suspend all Syrian asylum applications.
I guess they realize now that this is a poison that will destroy them.
Sadly Biden will probably take them all!
I know that the International Institute here in St. Louis is lobbying for them. That's all we need; a bunch of hardened terrorists here in the Gateway City.

The Gaslight Gang

We used to just call this propaganda.
How Biden Spent Hundreds of Millions of Taxpayer Dollars on Misinformation Research
In other words he used our own money to gaslight us.

BLM Thug Calls for Strangling Random Whites
Timothy Birdnow
A Black Lies Muttered, er, Black Lives Matter thug leader named Hawk Newsome (and he sure is hawking some b.s.) is calling for murder by his peeps over the acquittal of Daniel Penny.
According to the Blaze article Newsome called for "vigilantes" to choke white folks:
I seem to remember there are laws against inciting violence in this fashion. Why isn't this guy being arrested for it?
I caught Daniel Penny in an interview and he said "this isn't racial" by which he meant HIS actions weren't racial, and I have no doubt that is so. But it is ENTIRELY racial, the crusade to imprison him. What we are seeing these days is an attempt to force whites, especially white men, into the shadows, to arrest and abuse them for some twisted idea of payback for slavery and Jim Crow. And it only works because we turned black folks into a protected class, largely untouchable unless caught red-handed in some major criminal action. The authorities fear going after blacks, and the media coddles them.
The fact is a new peer-reviewed study shows that police officers are NOT more likely to shoot black suspects than whites.
The study, conducted by researchers at the University of Maryland , showed no correlation between the race of a police officer and the race of the perpetrator who was shot. Even the very liberal NPR was surprised the study made it into PNAS due to it not following the leftist script.
In fact the argument is made that BLACK officers are "biased against their own race" since they shoot blacks at the same rate as white cops. But what does that even mean? Cops are biased against rapists too when they rape a woman, aren't they?
The fact is blacks ARE shot more often than whites, but that is because they committ a disproportionate amount of crime and do it in a generally more aggressive way. A white criminal usually surrenders; many blacks do not, I might add.
All this argument is is a way to empower black leaders by eliminating policing and thus allowing thugs to run amok. I would add this is the way leftists traditionally take over countries; they dismantle civil authority then when chaos reigns provide the only alternative - a socialist state that will crush the criminals. Crime has long been a tool of the Left.
And that is what is happening with these BLM thugs; they are being empowered so as to torment the good citizens with the intent of establishing an authoritarian state.
It is regrettable when an innocent person is shot by cops, black or white. It happens to blacks more because they live in areas controlled by street thugs and thus are more likely to be in the line of fire, or to be mistakenly thought to be carrying a weapon. You used to see the same higher levels of police shootings of white people in Irish or Italian or other such areas back when these folks suffered with a strong criminal element.
To return to the BLM call for murder, how does that in any way improve the lot of any black person? All it does is double down on the criminality already causing so much suffering in the black community. Is it just a matter of pride for this creep? I would argue its pure racism, and if a white person said such a thing he would be prosecuted for it and unable to get a job or show his face in society after. But white people are fair gane these days, because, like "white privilege" and all.
Daniel Penny stopped an insane man from threatening and perhaps doing great harm to innocent folks on the subway, and that is grounds for the grievence industry to seek his destruction. His crime was basically walking while white.
if lynching a black man was wrong when it used to happen, isn't a legal lynching of a white man equally wrong? Does Newsome really hate white people that much? Many of those whom Penny protected were black themselves - and they were most grateful to him. He's a hero. But white people are just devils to guys like Newsome.
He really should look in a mirror if he wants to see who is the real devil.
