Ford Working with Chinese
Timothy Birdnow
So now China is in charge of hiring at Ford's battery plant.
The company - Contemporary Amperex Technology Limited, known as CATL - is a Chinese corporation with close ties to the Chicom's military. The State Department issued a warning about doing business with this firm because of their close ties to the Chinese military.
Yet Ford inexplicably hired them to handle personnell for their battery division in Marshall Michigan.
FTA:
Doing business with China is like going swimming with alligators. That Ford would do this suggests the American motor company is being run by complete fools

FTA:
At the same time, online job listings on multiple recruiting platforms show that CATL’s American subsidiary—Contemporary Amperex Technology Kentucky (CATK)—has posted job listings for roles at the factory, seemingly contradicting Ford’s assurances and revealing a far more active role in management by the Chinese company.
The concerns about the plant follow previous public backlash in Michigan regarding another battery plant, this one set to be operated by China-based manufacturer Gotion, which has signed a development agreement with a local township for its own facility. Gotion’s ties to the Chinese Communist Party pushed newly elected board members to rescind the deal and allege the Chinese firm had provided inducements to encourage the original approval.

Ayatollah Issues Fatwah Against Trump
Timothy Birdnow
A high-order Iranian cleric just issued a fatwah against Donald Trump, calling him an "enemy of God" and calling for his assassination.
Grand Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi of the Iranian holy city of Qom issued this edict in the wake of President Trump's bombing of Iranians nuclear weapons facilities and his threats against Ayatollah Khamenei and other Shiite leaders. Being classed an "enemy of God" means said person is subject to the death penalty.
The assassination attempt on President Trump in Pennsylvania may well have been plotted by the Iranians, I might add, so it's not like this is anything new.
Grand Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi issued his fatwah ostensibly in response to requests by "believers".
You know, Shirazi doesn't quite realize that Mr. Trump can issue his own fatwah, and he's got a much longer reach than does the 6th century rag-headed cleric. It's not wise to pick a fight when you will lose.
I guess this guy thinks that dude who fell down the well will climb back up just to kill President Trump. (The 12th Imam). Good luck with that!

Zohran Wants to Tax White People
Timothy Birdnow
And this guy says he's not a Communist!
Zohran Mamdani calls for tax hikes on ‘Whiter neighborhoods,’ asserts billionaires shouldn’t exist
Since non-white neighborhoods suck up more of the tax dolars than do white neighborhoods, through crime, larger numbers of fires, etc. maybe we should do the opposite and raise taxes on non-white areas? I mean, why shouldn't they pay more when they use more government services?
And the Ugandan immigrant Bolshevik Muslim has called for other, even more radical things - like a $30/hr minimum wage, defunding the police, government run grocery stores, etc.
As for the billionaires, I say we shouldn't have poor people either. What right do they have to be poor and use up so many resources paid for by the middle and upper classes! If billionaires are bad why aren't vagrants and welfare queens? There are more of the latter than the former, I would add. And unlike the billionaires they don't pay any taxes.
See how that works? When you start making yourself the judge of who owns what you get into a very sticky situation. Monty Python's Flying Circus had a great sketch about that. Dennis Moore was a Robin Hood character who robbed from the rich and gave to the poor - until the rich were completelyimpoverished and the poor were living in splendor in their hovels, with fine carpets, tapestries, paintings, crystal glasses and silver spoons. The rich sat in their bare mansions in their underwear with nothing. The song (quite catchy really) said "Dennis Moore, Dennis Moore, riding through the land, Dennis Moore, Dennis Moore without a merry band, he steals from the poor and gives to the rich, stupied bitch!" At that Moore says "this redistribution of wealth is trickier than I thought" and he then robs a stagecoach, making everyone show their possessions, then divvies everything up "you take one of these, you take this".
So I say of Mamdani "stupid bitch".
Foot drop.

Plot Fails to "Keel Moose and Squirrel"
Timothy Birdnow
The CNN correspondant who received the leaked DIA report claiming the airstrikes on Iran failed is one of the worst people for pushing lies - such as the "Russian collusion" hoax, or the claim the Biden laptop was "Russian disinformation".
Revolver has the story.
The story was leaked (because it wouldn't stand up to scrutiny) to CNN's Natasha Fatale' Bertrand, one of the worst Deep State protectors. There was a reason for that.
But the narrative is falling apart.
As I pointed out, if the first wave of bombing didn't work Trump would have sent in a second wave; nobody would stop him and Iran couldn't prevent it. There would be no logical reason to hit Iran and then just quit.
Of course this was a huge success, and it makes Americans thankful to have a competent guy in office. Biden would have just sent a pallet of cash.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is launching an investigation to ascertain who leaked it. These people don't realize that this isn't even the Trump they knew but a man and an administration that will not tolerate this. Someone may go to jail over it.
Good. You don't play politics with national security.

Tillis Retiring
Timothy Birdnow
Just a threat by Trump sends the GOP cockroaches scurrying.
GOP Sen. Tillis to retire as Trump vows support for primary challengers
Good riddance; Tillis has always been the worst sort of RINO and the party will be better without him.

France Banning Smoking in Parks, around Schools, etc.
Timothy Birdnow
In FRANCE! The French smoke like chimneys!
France to Ban Public Smoking in Parks, Beaches and Near Schools
31% of Frenchmen smoke, compared to just 16% of Americans. And over 40% of French teenagers smoke.
Amd uet the French have significantly lower health problems from smoking than do Americans.
France has some 75,000 deaths from smoking per year, while the U.S. has 490,000 deaths per year. France has 68.29 million people compared to the U.S. population of 340.1 million, so adjusted for population and rounding France has about 1/5th the U.S. population, so it's clear they have a much lower death rate from smoking than do we. (Sadly my calculator kicked the bucket just now and I'm too tired to work out the exact number).
Another point to ponder; France claims to be a demcoracy and is all about the will of the People and all that, yet here we have the rationale for this ban.
From an article in Breitbart:
So a democratic republic thinks it's government's job to "promote denormalization" in the minds of people. During the Cold War when the Soviets did stuff like this we called it brainwashing.
This is what is meant by the "Overton Window"; push things that have always been accepted into the shadows and make things that have been in the shadows acceptable. We saw this in America where smoking used to be accepted in public - particularly in bars and restaurants - and smoking pot was something only jazz musicians did. Now you have to hang out in the back alley with jazz musicians to smoke a cigarette, and cigars? Fuggetaboutit! But you can puff away on your bong all day long in the park or whatnot.
For the Left the goal is to change times and laws. Like the witches in McBeth "fair is foul and foul is fair' they seek to roil and disrupt society so they can make radical changes to it. Smoking is bad for you, and everyone always knew it (they called cigaretttes "coffin nails" long before the Surgeon General report) but it was part of our culture (thank you Native Americans!). The Left went after it because it was vulnerable and they wanted to test their approach. It worked and now few smoke, and nobody publicly.
We've seen this with alcohol too; the young hardly touch the stuff. Beeer and whiskey and whatnot were sytematically pushed into the shadows (especially whiskey and other hard liquor, which couldn't be advertised on television by law). Now fewer than 4 out of ten young adults (under 30) consume aclohol, way down from prior generations.
I remember when I was in college in the '80's; liberals on campus wanted America to stop growing tobacco and plant food to "feed the poor" as if that would accomplish anything (most of that food would wind up rotting long before it reached the poor, and who was going to pay for it? It costs money to grow stuff, and time and labor.) They also hated meat, particularly beef. One liberal said to me once "who are we to eat beef while people are starving". I wrote an essay about it.
By changing our culture, our food, or drink, our clothes, our music and sports and houses, they hope to change how we think and what we believe and in the end come to embrace Big Brother.
So here we have them busily doing that in France. They've already accomplished much in that country.
Does it strike anyone as odd that the same program is a hot topic in every nation in the Western World simultaneously? Everyone seems to be following the same script, be it in America, Europe, Australia, etc. These campaigns appear out of nowhere and suddenly a huge, and they are always aiming at the same policies. It's like someone actually got together and discussed it.
Well, they did - at the WEF and other international organizations. And Academia and the media give their full backing to all this.
We are slowly losing our individual cultures, melding into a uberculture that will eventually morph into a world government. They are creating the Brave New World one cigarette and one shotglass at a time.
I know; smoking is bad for you. My own father has COPD and my brother emphysema. I won't miss smoking overmuch. But it's OUR decision to make, not some bureaucrats, not Congres, not some health nazis with access to the media. A free society demands that.
But to the Left freedom is doing things their way.

The ban aims "to promote what we call denormalization. In people’s minds, smoking is normal,” he said. "We aren’t banning smoking; we are banning smoking in certain places where it could potentially affect people’s health and … young people.”

War Powers Act Whacked
Timothy Birdnow
Suck on this all you people who say Trump violated the Constitution by bombing Iran!
Senate Rejects War Powers Resolution That Sought to Limit Trump’s Authority Over Iran Strikes
Even if they passed this they would be hard-pressed for it to pass a court challenge. The War Powers Act has dubnious Constitutional status as it is and has never faced judicial review largely because Presidents pretty much just ignore it.
As Commander-in-Chief the President has the authority to committ troops, or ships, or aircraft as he deems necessary. Congress has the authority to declare war, but they have no authority over the use of the military. There is a reason for that. Congress CAN end a war by cutting off funding; the President can order troops around all he likes but he's not going to accomplish anything without money. The Founders purposely made this division of power so neither Congress nor the President could simply impose a war, or stop a war, without the consent of the other branch.
But that's a moot point now.

Attorney the Other Cheek (So We Can Slap You Again)!
Timothy Birdnow
Pam Bondi has sacked three career federal prosecutors over their handling of prosecutions of J6 self-guided tourists thanks to the recent SCOTUS ruling that restricted Federal judges from imposing nationwise injunctions. This meant Trump couldn't be stopped from firing these people by a long judge operating beyond his authority or jurisdiction.
Naturally the radicals who embedded themselves at DOj are horrified.
FTA:
These firings are hardly whims or impulses and only occurred after a review of their files. And they knew damned good and well why they were fired, or they wouldn't be "the best and brightest" as this unnamed DOJ stooge says.
This is what we mean by the Deep State; long serving radicals embedded in their citadels of power deep inside government agencies, protected by laws that were passed ostensibly to end corruption by making the bureaucracy outside of the patronage system but really as a tool to promote the Democrats, who not only buy votes this way but use such types to works their will and subvert any Republican administration.
Hopefully these three are just the first; we need every scumbag who abused their authority (and decent Americans) out of power permanently.
As to the SCOTUS ruling, it's a double edged sword and will undoubtedly come back to bite us at some point. We've benefitted from district judges staying Democrat policies in times gone by. Now that tool is as lost to us as it is to Democrats. Of course WE didn't abuse it because we believe in the rule of law. They only believe in the exercise of power.
But it is welcome as these courts were operating outside of the parameters of what they were intended to do and of their authority under the Constitution. And remember, judges have lifetime tenure and can't be removed easily. They can be impeached for criminal behavior, or Congress can simply dissolve their districts and reconfigure, but they cannot be kicked out for being partisan or just plain a-holes.
Well, many of them need to be kicked out and if the GOP would win big in Congress maybe thatt could happen. Maybe, but probably not; there are still too many RINO's in office and John Thune is essentially Mitch "the bitch" McConnoll.
But the DOJ is under the Executive branch and Trump shold be able to fire them at his pleasure. Why wouldn't he fire them, if they actively worked against him?
I remember when George W. Bush fired a bunch of U.S. attorneys there was a big stink about it and the media, happily amnesiatic, forgot that Bill Clinton fired ALL U.S. attorneys when he came into office. This isn't any different. These people serve at the pleasure of the President. Donald Trump is President and has the authority. But the courts have continually overstepped their authority to stop him.
Now they can't.

According to NBC News, multiple DOJ officials expressed concern about the direction of the department.
One federal law enforcement official described the move as "horrifying” and said it could have a chilling effect on prosecutors who may be asked to conduct politically sensitive investigations in the future.
"To fire them, without explanation, is a slap in the face not only to them, but to all career DOJ prosecutors,” one DOJ official said.
"No one is safe from this administration’s whims and impulses. And the public certainly is not served by the continued brain drain of DOJ — we are losing the best among us every day.”

Reading B cubed Aloud
Timothy Birdnow
so chuck-a-Burger Schumer has the entire Big Beautiful Bill being read on the floor of the Senate. Now why do you suppose that is?
It means it's going to pass and he needs time to work on people who might vote for it.
This is unusal but not outside of the rules. In fact ALL bills ought to be read aloud (and all Senators should be forced to be present or not allowed to vote on them) so everyone is clear what is in it. We should never have to pass a bill to see what's in it, as Pelosi said of Obamacare in the House.
That would also cut the size of these bills way down.
But the point is this is a measure of desperation by Chuckles and it shows the B cubed will pass.

Don't Mess with Zorhan
Timothy Birdnow
I heard Zohan, er, Zohran Momdani on Meet the Press saying he isn't a Communist but a Democratic Socialist. What does that even mean?
Well, there is this:
So according to Radosh this is a distinction without a difference.
Here is a rundown on the platform and beliefs of the CPUSA:
Where is there any difference at all between what they advocate and what Mamdani advocates?
"Democratic socialism" is a lie and always has been. Inevitably socialists chuck the "have a nice day" smiley mask and show their fangs; it's just a matter of when. Socialism MUST use force to make it happen, as people aren't going to give up what they have so those who don't earn it can have it and that is the cornerstone of all socialism. Socialism goes against human nature. ALL socialism. And it always fails, every time, in the end.
Momdani wants free child care, free buses, a rent and mortgage freeze. He wants government to own grocery stores. He wants to arrest Israeli P.M. Benjamin Netenyahu.
He wants to make New York a no go zone for ICE. He said in his interview that New York has not been hit by a major terrorist attack since 911 BECAUSE OF THEIR SANCTUARY CITY POLICIES! That is perhaps the scariest stupid comment yet.
He said he believed in dignity and safety for all but refused to condemn the abuse of Jews in particular, meaning he sympathizes with the abusers. But then he's a Ugandan Muslim.
So this guy is a Marxist Muslim anti-semite who will utterly destroy New York, as all communists eventually destroy everything they touch. Sadly New Yorkers voted for this clown.
BTW there are almost no Democratic Socialist countries. There are countries that have been governed by socialists in times past - Sweden, France, etc. But they all moved away from socialism; Sweden chucked it back in the seventies, for example, and can be seen as even more capitalistic than the U.S. as it has a much more business-friendly economy, with lower corporate taxes and fewer regulations. Ditto the rest of Scandanavia, which never even played with socialism. France chucked it. Greece chucked it (and went bankrupt from it first). Even China, which is still a COMMUNIST COUNTRY chucked it (much as Russia did in the '20's with the New Economic Program NEP for a time). Democratic socialism is just a new name for a tired, failed policy. It inevitably leads to what we saw in Venezuela, and are seeing now in Nicaragua where the Sandanistas, after retaking power, systematically purged all opposition.
Zohran will morph into Stalhan if given half a chance. He's a dangerous alien who probably should be stripped of his citizenship and deported.
I heard Zohan, er, Zohran Momdani on Meet the Press saying he isn't a Communist but a Democratic Socialist. What does that even mean?
Well, there is this:
"The positions they (the Communist Party CSA)take are really indistinguishable from the left-wing social democratic groups,” said historian Ron Radosh to the BBC in 2014. "I don’t even know why anyone belongs to it.”
So according to Radosh this is a distinction without a difference.
Here is a rundown on the platform and beliefs of the CPUSA:
CPUSA purports to be a "political party for the working class” and advocates for the implementation of socialism. According to the party’s program, the survival of the United States depends on its transformation to socialism. CPUSA blames the capitalist system, and the U.S. government specifically, for the exploitation of workers, widespread oppression, the destruction of the environment, and imperialism. CPUSA advocates socialism as the only system that can ensure human rights and peace in the United States and around the world.
[...]
CPUSA refers to itself as a Marxist organization, indicating that communism is its end goal. CPUSA’s platform posits that communism will result in "a society without exploitation, without social classes, without war, without constant attacks on our shared environment, and without any coercive apparatus,” while guaranteeing full democratic freedom and the "humane development of society and the individual—for human happiness.”* "CPUSA Program,” Communist Party USA, April 13, 2020, https://www.cpusa.org/party_info/party-program/#Capitalism.x Nonetheless, CPUSA claims to fully support democracy and the guarantee of personal liberties, including voting rights and full democratic representation. According to CPUSA, capitalism presents the greatest danger to democratic freedom.
[...]
According to CPUSA’s platform, the extreme right has influenced the Republican Party and injected Islamophobia, ultra-nationalism, and authoritarianism into the U.S. government. CPUSA accuses the Trump Administration of being authoritarian while the extreme right seeks to use capitalism to extend its control over the entire country. Further, CPUSA alleges the U.S. government uses the threat of terrorism to curtail individual freedoms, including free speech and assembly.* "CPUSA Program,” Communist Party USA, April 13, 2020, https://www.cpusa.org/party_info/party-program/#Capitalism.x CPUSA obligates all party members to fight against racist ideologies and for full political and social rights for all. CPUSA opposes anti-Semitism and discrimination based on race, religion, nationality, or color.

Where is there any difference at all between what they advocate and what Mamdani advocates?
"Democratic socialism" is a lie and always has been. Inevitably socialists chuck the "have a nice day" smiley mask and show their fangs; it's just a matter of when. Socialism MUST use force to make it happen, as people aren't going to give up what they have so those who don't earn it can have it and that is the cornerstone of all socialism. Socialism goes against human nature. ALL socialism. And it always fails, every time, in the end.
Momdani wants free child care, free buses, a rent and mortgage freeze. He wants government to own grocery stores. He wants to arrest Israeli P.M. Benjamin Netenyahu.
He wants to make New York a no go zone for ICE. He said in his interview that New York has not been hit by a major terrorist attack since 911 BECAUSE OF THEIR SANCTUARY CITY POLICIES! That is perhaps the scariest stupid comment yet.
He said he believed in dignity and safety for all but refused to condemn the abuse of Jews in particular, meaning he sympathizes with the abusers. But then he's a Ugandan Muslim.
So this guy is a Marxist Muslim anti-semite who will utterly destroy New York, as all communists eventually destroy everything they touch. Sadly New Yorkers voted for this clown.
BTW there are almost no Democratic Socialist countries. There are countries that have been governed by socialists in times past - Sweden, France, etc. But they all moved away from socialism; Sweden chucked it back in the seventies, for example, and can be seen as even more capitalistic than the U.S. as it has a much more business-friendly economy, with lower corporate taxes and fewer regulations.

Perverted WaPo
Timothy Birdnow
This is the American media:
Washington Post journalist busted by DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro for allegedly possessing child porn
While there are ouliers in any field and the media is large, I rather suspect a LOT of them are indeed perverts who became "journalists" to promote their own deviancy.
A predator is a predator, sexual or written.

Doh! Canada
Timothy Birdnow
Trump is breaking off trade talks with Canada as the Canucks refuse to negotiate in good faith and imposing a crazy new tax on America.
The silly fellow running things in the Canadian parliament doesn't grasp that he's not going to win this; Trump won't cave and doesn't have to. Canada needs the U.S. market far more than we need Canada's.
Our economy is ten times the size of our northern neighbor's.
From the Epoch Times:
Canada seems determined to embrace poverty and stupidity.

From the Epoch Times:
In a June 27 Truth Social post, Trump said the termination was made because of Canada’s plan to impose a digital services tax (DST), which would affect U.S. tech companies. The tax is set to take effect on Monday. The president called the tax a "direct and blatant attack” on the United States.
Canada seems determined to embrace poverty and stupidity.

No Fear!
Timothy Birdnow
Easy; just stop reading cheesy scary disaster sci-fi...
AP Gives Advice on How to Manage Anxiety from "Emotional Toll" of Climate Panic
In Michael Crichton's novel State of Fear he postulates a societal control mechanism employed by the Ruling Class which uses fear to contain and manipulate the public. Crichton rightly understood that there was a machine in place designed to create new forms of fear to implement societal change. It started in the big universities, moved to the media who promoted it, and wound up as leglislation in Congress. But it was all bogus stuff, simple scare-mongering to frighten low information people.
In the case of climate change the goal is international socialism and world government and it is intended to force us all together to "fight climate disaster".
This was a theory that went back a while. While Roger Revelle is credited with actually formulating the theory that increaseed atmospheric carbon dioxide would raise planetary temperatures (Revelle argued it would stop at 2* F. and saw it as a curiosity, not a crisis) But it got it's big push at the Endangered Atmospheres Conference in 1975. This conference featured a bunch of big names in the climate change alarmism industry, guys like John Holdren (Obama's science czar), or William kellogg, or Stephen Schneider, or George Woodwell. Margaret Mead, the discredited anthropologist, chaired the meeting. The goal of the meeting was to push climate catastrophism as a result of the atmosphere because it is the one thing we all truly share on Earth. It was a prime tool to promote world government.
The plan was to promote Global Cooling as a result of aerosols put into the atmosphere. They began implementing this, but the climate wouldn't cooperate as the cooling trend of the sixties and seventies was crapping out. So they switched gears and went to their backup - global warming. Most of the people who promoted global cooling didn't skip a beat, switching to warming instantly, in a manner reminiscent of Orwell's 1984 "we have always been at war with East Asia". After a lengthy campaign in the liberal media the U.N. established the IPCC, which supposedly recruited the best minds in the (brand new) climate change community (Climate science was a branch of meteorology before being spun off and it was starving for funding - few to no meteorologists were involved with the IPCC). The report was a foregone conclusion, as I said at the time. There was a lot of money and pwoer at stake.
So the radicals have ridden this pony for decades now, a kind of forty five year long War of the World hoax. But it's never had much scientific credibility. At most they can point to specific points on Earth that are marginally warmer than the historical record, most of which go back to the satellite era and to 1979.
Nobody disputes the Earth is warmer, nor that Man might have something to do with it. Dr. Roy Spencer of the University of Alabama Huntsville and formerly NaSA rcsently calculated (using satellite data rather than corrupted land data) that land use changes account for all the warming we've seen. All of it. You can't pave over a forest and expect not to have it warmer there. Dr. Roger Pielke Sr. of U.C. Boulder argued this was the case for years, I might add. And as carbon dioxide has a logarithmic absorbtion of heat (meaning a doubling of it will lead to half as much energy retention) we have already pretty much reached the peak temperature increase.
Now the argument made by the Gang Green is that this will evaporate water from lakes and oceans and this will lead to more warming, leading to more evaporation, etc. in a runaway greenhouse effect. But we don't see that. You cannot square the idea of hotter and dryer with that. It should be hotter and wetter. Also, the Earth's albedo is declining, which is the exact opposite of what should happen; increased cloud cover from evaporation of water should make the albedo rise, not fall. Declining albedo also explains the modest warming seen, btw.
The fact is the Earth has largely negative feedback loops - the so-called climate sensitivity. Raise planetary temperatures and cloud cover reduces the amount of insolation (sunlight received) which cools it back down. We do not see positive feedback loops, by and large.
This is similar to Mars, which remains in a terrible ice age because every time the planet warms the atmosphere (which is largely frozen out as dry ice) increases in pressure, leading to huge dust storms which darken the skies and cool the planet back down. The atmosphere refreezes and Mars returns to her frozen tranquility.
Of course the media won't report any of this because they want to establish in everyone's minds the crisis which can only be solves by a massive reduction in industrial emissions - meaning we all must live poorer. And since this will starve the poor in the Third World it means we must establish relief funds and reorder society - The Great Reset. It means free enterprise must die in favor of fascist economics.
Well I suggest everyone simply decide not to participate in Ragnarok. The panic is all in our minds. But to get past it we must first realize the media lies to us night and day. Remember Covid. Remember Russian Collusion. Remember the Hunter Laptop story. If the media says good morning I have to stick my head outside to check.
Life is too short to live in fear. That is the way of children.

Discrimination is Discrimination
Timothy Birdnow
How is it either moral or practical to discriminate against a race of people?
Minnesota: "Whites Need Not Apply”
It's not; it violates the most basic legal protections, protections that have been in place at least since the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
To toot my own horn I will say I predicted this long ago; as the tide turns the whites will not be afforded the protections they voluntarily handed to minorities. Payback will be a bitch, and all the high-minded rhetoric will simply vanish as the increasingly powerful minority community seeks payback for the bad old days. I knew this was coming.
That is in no way a defense of how white people treated blacks, Hispanics, Asians, etc. But it is an indictment of the way the process of making a colorblind society was implemented.
First, everyone is racist to a degree. Every race thinks it's own is best. That is just human nature. We come from the paleolithic where tribes were isolated and we put our allegiance first with our tribe. No doubt this problem will continue until the end of Mankind as it is hard-wired into our DNA. But that doesn't mean everyone ACTS or even thinks in a racist manner; it just means some try harder than others to push the demon down, just as we have to push other demons down - like our sexual lust or our appetites. Yes, there are degenerates who have sex with underage girls or with young boys or who cheat on their spouses or whatnot. Yes, there are obese people who eat way too much, But most of us control it, and the controlling process is usually unpleasant but we do it because we know it's a bad holdover from the Paleolithic. Racism is no exception.
(I hate the term, by the way; oftentimes what is called "racism" is simple dislike of the CULTURE of another race, not the race itself. Back in the '70's we called the "prejudice" but that phrase is passe'. Racism used to be reserved for those who HATE people from other races. George Washington held slaves - as did many rich planters - and he wouldn't allow blacks to serve in his army. He bore black folks no ill-will, just thought they weren't acceptable folks for serious work. He was not racist. Nathan Bedford Forrest, on the other hand, WAS racist and would have no problem finding a "final solution" to the slavery issue.)
At any rate America has not been racist, not for a long time at least. It is still prejudiced to a degree, but often for minorities. The real racism in America is against the whites by the minorities. And by white liberals, who have been taught for decades to hate America and the evil white old patriarchs who founded her.
DEI is an attempt to institutionalize that hatred of the white majority, and despite it being clearly anti-constitutional it found a home in many places, notably the Democratic (sic) Party which has labored to implement structural racism against white folks.
(BTW "white racism" was inevitable given the way colonization happened; you had small settlements of whites amid a then-much-larger aboriginal population. Also, the Spaniards were pushing into North America and the British colonists faced the difficult decision of whether to remain British or be absorbed by the larger masses, as did the Spanish. (There are few white people in Latin America; mostly they are mestizo, a mix of Indian and Spanish.) The British colonists chose to remain British, even after independence, and they justified it because they looked at the Indians or the black slaves or the Mexicans and saw them as something they did not want to be. Had the original settlers not separated themselves they would have disappeared. They had read their Bible and knew the same held true for the Israelites. American racial attitudes may not have been kind but they had a rationality to them that made sense at the time.)
At any rate DEI is being implemented even now, when the Democrats got spanked and are getting spanked, because it comports with their view that "demographics is destiny" and the white people will wind up minorities. So they promote what they think will be the winning side, and they try to help that victory along.
And it MAY happen, unless white people start having children again. White people stopped because for decades now there has been a constant drumbeat of acrimony against them and they have been despairing. White men are the only demographic in America that has it's life expectancy declining, and that is because white men see themselves as being completely abused by the system (and they are right). Couple that with the massive immigration and the prospects are dim for white folks. The massive immigration was intended to accelerate this process, I might add. The "replacement theory" is entirely correct; the plan is to replace white people in America and re-found her as a socialist part of Latin America, or near enough. White people formed the kernal of the old United States. They have to go to create the new nation.
DEI is little different from the Black Codes or Jim Crow, it's just aimed in a different direction. It's a way of abusing and suppressing the white majority in favor of minorities. Sadly too many Americans allowed it to happen, voting for the party that promotes this.
They still do. The election of 2024 should have been a far bigger blowout than it was.
At any rate in a sane world Minnesota would be punished severely, with businesses leaving, with civil rights violation charges, etc. But we are so used to this stuff that the reaction is "oh, that again" and that's pretty much the end of it.
If it is illegal to discriminate against anyone, how can it be legal to discriminate for them? Two wrongs don't make a right. Discrimination is discrimination.

Democrats Explode Over Dr. King and DEI
Timothy Birdnow
And yet Alveda King is opposed to DEI.
Democrat Rep Explodes Over GOP Quoting MLK Jr. in Hearing
Methinks she doth protest too much.
Martin Luther King wanted equality, not equity. He believed all are God's children and should be treated equally. That is the antithesis of DEI, which says some are more equal than others.
All government is supposed to do is see that the playing field is leveled, not choose the outcome. Choosing outcomes leads to exactly what we have seen in America; the protected class makes little progress because there is no incentive to bootstrap themselves, and this just engendered hatred between the races.

The Law Applies Equally
Timothy Birdnow
Why? Because the leftists have been getting away with this crap for so long they see it as their civil right.
Democrat Rep. McIver Shocked by Charges After ICE Agent Assault: "It’s Scary”
I agree; it IS scary. Scary that someone like this is a sitting Congresswoman. In a remotely sane world she would never have been elected. In a sane world she would be kicked out of Congress. But the Democrats are no longer even remotely sane.
This woman pushed and struck ICE agents and is facing 17 years in prison for the assault.
The New Jersey Democrat complained:
"I never thought I would be facing charges as a sitting congresswoman,”
Well duh! She would never have done it if she didn't think she wouldn't be touched.
These clowns think they are untouchable and can behave in a way that would get average Americans put in jail for a long time. Just look at J6 tourists.

Well duh! She would never have done it if she didn't think she wouldn't be touched.
These clowns think they are untouchable and can behave in a way that would get average Americans put in jail for a long time. Just look at J6 tourists.

Rainbows are Getting Back in Style
Timothy Birdnow
Prosecutors in Atlanta are considering charging a couple of teenagers who stole pride flags from a gay bar with felony "hate crimes" which would put these kids in prison for years to decades.
This is at most a case of petty theft and vandalism.
That is the trouble with "hate crimes" laws; they grant special privileges to some people, and at the same time there is no clear definition of a hate crime, because it ultimately goes to the state of mind of the person so charged. It is entirely subjective.
So now a couple of stupid kids who made a not serious mistake are going to pay for the rest of their lives so a bunch of guilt-ridden white liberals can feel good about themselves.
Liberals are forever telling us that burning or mutilating the American flag is protected speech, yet here they hold a massive double standard. If these kids had cut up Old Glory they would be celebrated.
In 1989 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the burning of the American flag was protected speech under the First Amendment. So how can this be anything BUT a First Amendment issue?
That doesn't mean the kids should get off; they clearly broke the law by stealing under $150 (making it a misdemeanor). But that is all they can or should be charged with.
How do prosecutors know these kids weren't cutting these flags up just to get rid of the evidence? How do they know it wasn't a case of them needing some cloth? This whole case will be built on supposition and assumptions. We know what happens when we assume.
And that holds true for other flags. How many times have Confederate flags or Gadsden flags been vandalized? Many. How is THAT not a hate crime by this definition? Certainly Confederates are a minority in America and subject to discrimination. But that is APPROVED discrimination so I guessit's o.k.
As I have pointed out in days of yore, the article makes this point:
Indeed it's not and you can be a Klansman or a Nazi if your twisted heart so desires. During the fifties and sixties the Communists asserted this very fact to resist the House Un-American Activities Committee, Sen. Joe McCarthy, and the like. But these folks don't want to extend the same courtesy to anyone they claim (falsely in both cases) to be "on the right". What they are trying to do is criminalize any thinking with which they disagree. Hate crimes legislation was simply the nose of the camel in the tent. We've seen them working their way towards other such things after having gotten these laws on the books.
And hate crimes laws have never been challenged in court. It seems a fair bet they would lose at the Supreme Court, as they are CLEARLY unconstitutional.
Some are NOT more equal than others in American jurisprudence. Yes, in practicality they are, but there is a reason that tart with the scales is wearing a blindfold. It's not that Americans are two-baggers...
We've seen this sort of abuse happen repeatedly, I might add. Remember the Duke lacrosse players? Remember that kid who had to use a gun to protect himself from a group of thugs at a rally and was prosecuted and dragged through the mud? Remember the special forces guy (Daniel Penny) charged with a hate crime and and murder for stopping a crazed man who was threatening passengers on the subway? How many times have children been arrested and kicked out of school for toy guns? This is just more of the same, abuse people so you can make the rest afraid to speak their minds.
I hope the ACLJ is on this case. We need to rally around these kids; they are facing losing their whole lives for a teenage prank.

"It’s not illegal to "hate.” It’s unlikely in the extreme that everyone who objects to the queer rainbow-ification of America actually "hates” "minorities” the way the phrase suggests. Few people, annoyed though they may be with the antics of sexual minorities, actually want to hang them or murder them.

Home is Where the Kissing Bug Is
Timothy Birdnow
Last night I was watching television in my easy chair and examining a suspicious-looking red blotch on my arm. It just appeared in the last day or so. It's not sore or uncomfortable, just there.
At any rate I looked above the television and there was some sort of big bug on the wall, seemingly looking at me. I got up with plans to bash it with my shoe but it FLEW to the floor (like a glider; it had some sort of wings but didn't flap them) and then shot away into the hallway. It did not run like a waterbug or whatnot; more like a mouse. And it was lightning fast.
Did I have some sort of mutant bug? A cockamouse, half bug and half mouse?
I went after it and found in on the floor in the hallway. It immediately bolted away again, but made the mistake of going up on the wall of the stairway. I whacked it with the shoe again, and it fell onto the carpeting of the stairs, then tried to scurry away on the floor where I stepped on it. It was STILL moving despite taking my full weight! I Finally got the little love child by repeatedly beating it with the shoe, then picked it up and squashed it inside of a paper towel. It was the toughest damned insect I ever encountered.
I looked at it; it had a big round body but a consriction between the body and cone shaped head. It was black, and had a pincher-like head.
I started wondering....
There is an invasive species called the Kissing Bug (also called the cone-nose bug or sometimes vampirebug, which describes this critter) which has recently been found here in Missouri, having come up from Mexico. These are the stuff of nightmares; They live in houses, and feed on the blood of humans and animals. They watch their prey from a higher vantage point, watch until the person falls asleep (which they determine by watching their eyes until they see motion underneath the lids) They like the mouth and eyes since those are tender spots, easily accessed, but they will bite anywhere.) Their bites are painless but leave red patches. They have glider wings and can fly short distances (the adults anyway). Oh, and they are very dangerous as they can cause a disease called Chagas, which leads to heart failure. (I already have heart failure; I don't need any more.) One person in Missouri has contracted Chagas from the kissing bug.
Was this a kissing bug? I most earnestly hope not. But if it is I hope and pray it was the only one in the house.
Anybody know more about these little monsters? I tried to look up stuff and found plenty but couldn't get much to open (thanks to the age of my system).
Photos of the kissing bug on Google sure looked like this beast, but I am happily ignorant of entymology, and that was by design. I prefer not to think about bugs.
I see no way to prevent them from coming in the house; I have a problem with mice as it is. Can't find their access point. If THEY can get in kissing bugs sure can.
Anyway if anyone has any ideas I'm all ears (which will probably be bitten by one of these filthy little SOB's some day soon if that is indeed what it was.
On that cheery note I give you Louie Armstrong:
Just kiss me once and kiss me twice, then kiss me once again. It's been a long, long time.

Why Tucker Left Fox
Timothy Birdnow
Here's why Chadsworth Osborn Jr. (Rush Limbaugh's affectionate name for Tucker Carlson) was sacked by Fox. He wouldn't help wreck MAGA.
