Blaming the Victim
Timothy Birdnow
How clueless can Democrats be?
Yeah; this will REALLY fix the problem!
Port of L.A. Will Fine Companies for Excess Containers
On Wednesday, the Los Angeles City Council authorized the port to
fine companies $100 per container plus $100 for every day that it does
not move. The fines will go into effect on Monday, Nov. 1.
So typical they think they can use brute force to fix this problem. This after largely causing it in the first place.

If this kind of thing is allowed, the citizens of this country ought to be able to fine the White House big-time these days. I mean, BIG-TIME!

Not a bad idea. In fact, make them work on a farm or something; learn the meaning of honest labor and the sufferings of the small farmholder.
I got into a fight wth a guy I suspected of being a troll on this post and Facebook banned me for one week over it. I think it was because he was mischaracterizing my comment, and I told him he lacked cognitive ability. He flailed back, saying the DOT ran the ports and not California, to which I replied CA runs the roads out of the ports, which is largely the problem and he understood that meaning he was either cognitively deficient or a liar.
I suspect he reported it as "abusive" and the damned Facebook stuck me for a week.
Such crap. He was the one who was being abusive to anyone leaving a comment there, which leads me to believe he was either paid by California or was a troll for either CBS or Facebook. I accused him of that, too.
Facebook sucks.

Biden Bombing in Polls
This from Russell P. Green:
Even liberal pollsters can’t hide the utter failure of the person
convalescing in the Oval Office. All that misguided optimism Democrats
tried shoving down the throats of the 250 million people who did not
for Biden is long gone. Instead,
half of all Democrats see a bleak
future for a country led by a mentally diminished soon to be nursing
home patient, and his partner in crime, next to be seen on a milk
carton at your local grocer.

I don't think they have a choice Dana. If they don't cheat then the MAGA people come back and they are reduced to permanent minority status, like the Labor Party in Britain.
And they would never think about NOT cheating; it's in their DNA.

Coal is Hot
Timothy Birdnow
The U.S. coal industry is booming, despite the fact they can't hardly sell it in the U.S.
From Oilprice.com:
U.S. coal miners are enjoying the surge in demand for the fossil fuel, with almost all of their production through the end of next year—and some into 2023 even—already sold, according to a Bloomberg report.
So other countries reap the benefit of coal and boost their electrical production while we play games with toys like windmills or solar panels.
We have to be some of the stupidest people on Earth.

Pelosi Stood with Rioters - Until They Were MAGA
Steven Chase
Pelosi and most prominent Dems said this (quote): "I stand with
the students & workers. An impressive show of democracy in action"
when thousands of protestors took over Wisconsin's Capitol by violently
breaking down doors and windows and occupying the building. 2/17/11.
Tim adds:
Also do not forget that on Trump's inaugural there were riots and looting all over D.C. Also do not forget that the BLM riots in D.C. last year saw an attempt to storm the White House (where President Trump was in residence) and Pelosi did not condemn any of it. She is perfectly happy with rioting and looting if it is HER people rioting and looting. The woman is, frankly, a monster, ugly inside and out.

Yes, the Dems have a serious leadership problem. They are led by juvenile jackasses. And that's the BEST leadership they have; we could talk about the worst (like AOC or Bernie) but we all know they would be a permanent minority party if those people wound up in charge.
It's why they had to steal this last election; there was no hope without fundamentally reworking the system to make them a permanent majority party. Pelosi and Schumer are at least smart enough to realize that.

Smoking cigarettes? They didn't exist in Macbeth's time, or Shakespeare's either. Pipes, yes.
If they wanted to attach a meaningful warning to the production, they might have said that "Shakespeare presents a fanciful idea of Macbeth, who was an effective king and reined for many years, successfully. There was no historical McDuff." I know this from a family history compiled by a cousin of mine, and Macbeth is one of our forebears. So's King Kenneth McAlpine, but as I've read elsewhere, just about anybody with Scots blood can claim the king as an ancestor. Apparently, he was busy at night.

Yes, by all historical accounts MacBeth was a very effective king.
No doubt Shakespeare took great liberties with him.

Oh, darn... I had hopes.
More history is that King Duncan was weak, ineffective and corrupt. Lady Macbeth's offing him was part of a political feud; kind of a Scottish version of Arkancide. Not a nice thing to do, but she actually did the country a favor.
You have to fast-forward to the present to find the three witches; actually we have more than three: The Squad, Pelosi, Feinstein.

Courtesy and Manliness
Bill H.
In response to the post by Andrei Piriutko about masculine virtue.
My maternal grandmother was a product of the Deep South, having grown
up on a plantation near Milliken’s Bend, Louisiana. Yes, there was a
good bit about that culture than was awful, but there was much that
should be cherished and admired.
Deeply embedded in that culture was a tradition of courtesy, which was
not reserved for friends but was extended to strangers and, even more
importantly, to adversaries and even enemies. For all of the racism
that existed, it was all but unheard of in the true Deep South to be
rude to a person of color. Only "poor white trash” did that kind of
thing, and they were rude to white people as well, so…
She taught me the root words that went into the definition of "gentleman.” It is, she said, a person who is gentle and who is a man.
In those days being a man had a very well defined meaning, among which
was strength, courage, and the absolute dedication to protecting women
from any kind of harm.

45,000 Bad Votes in Wisconsin
From Michael Benjamin
"45,000+ of those newly registered voters provided personally identifiable information during registration that did not match existing data from the WI Department of Transportation (DOT) (vehicle registrations, driver’s licenses, state identification cards)."
https://uncoverdc.com/2021/10/25/wi-audit-report-results-certified-despite-illegal-ballots/
"Furthermore, the commission failed to issue relevant laws and rules for training municipal election workers, special voting deputies, and election inspections. Worse, it failed to investigate voter rolls for the hundreds of thousands there incorrectly, including more than 45,000 first-time voters whose names didn’t match Department of Transportation records, among other issues."

My brother-in-law David would say "Good pea-pickin' grief!"
A number of years ago I served in my town as an election judge, and I'll attest to the fact that we got great training. I became friends with two different town clerks as a result. And I can also say that for most, or maybe all, of us, we regarded our job as being totally non-political. It was too important for that.

The Virtues of Manliness
Andrei Piriutko
Masculinity isn’t toxic.
The absence of it is.
Weak men are abusive and spiteful.
Strong, masculine men are protective and loving.
These are the qualities of life to which every citizen should aspire.
They are the heart of the Via Romana--the Roman Way--and are thought to
be those qualities which gave the Roman Republic the moral strength to
conquer and civilize the world:
Auctoritas--"Spiritual Authority": The sense of one's social standing, built up through experience, Pietas, and Industria.
Comitas--"Humor
": Ease of manner, courtesy, openness, and friendliness.
Clementia--"Mercy": Mildness and gentleness.
Dignitas--"Dignity": A sense of self-worth, personal pride.
Firmitas--"Tenacity": Strength of mind, the ability to stick to one's purpose.
Frugalitas--"Frugalness": Economy and simplicity of style, without being miserly.
Gravitas--"Gravity": A sense of the importance of the matter at hand, responsibility and earnestness.
Honestas--"Respectibility": The image that one presents as a respectable member of society.
Humanitas--"Humanity": Refinement, civilization, learning, and being cultured.
Industria--"Industriousness": Hard work.
Pietas--"Dutifulness":
More than religious piety; a respect for the natural order socially,
politically, and religiously. Includes the ideas of patriotism and
devotion to others.
Prudentia--"Prudence": Foresight, wisdom, and personal discretion.
Salubritas--"Wholesomeness": Health and cleanliness.
Severitas--"Sternness": Gravity, self-control.
Veritas--"Truthfulness": Honesty in dealing with others.
Virtus (Classical Latin: [ˈwɪrt̪uːs̠]) was a specific virtue in Ancient
Rome. It carries connotations of valor, manliness, excellence, courage,
character, and worth, perceived as masculine strengths (from Latin vir,
"man"). It was thus a frequently stated virtue of Roman emperors, and
was personified as a deity—Virtus.

Nailed it Bill. Courtesy has pretty much died with the death of the Old South, as has chivalry. We lost a lot by losing that.
There is a reason why Canada is known for politeness; it was to avoid trouble between the English, the Americans who came after the Revolution, and the French there. They were forced by necessity to develop a culture that put a high emphasis on civility. The Old South was much like that too. The North was settled by wave after wave of immigrant from different places and they never really developed the sense of community and the corresponding civil behavior. The attitude in the northeast is basically "screw 'em all".

A Failure of Values in Education
"The moral education that is today supposed to be the great
responsibility of the family cannot exist if it cannot present to the
imagination of the young a vision of a moral cosmos and of the rewards
and punishments for good and evil, sublime speeches that accompany and
interpret deeds, protagonists and antagonists in the drama of moral
choice, a sense of the stakes involved in such a choice, and the
despair that results when the world is ‘disenchanted’.
Otherwise, education becomes the vain attempt to give children
‘values’. Beyond the fact that parents do not know what they believe,
and surely do not have the self-confidence
to tell their children much more than that they want them to be happy
and fulfill whatever potential they may have, values are such pallid
things.” …teachers of writing in state universities…have
told me that they cannot teach writing to students who do not read, and
that it is practically impossible to get them to read, let alone like
it.” -Allan Bloom, 1987.

The phrase
"hoist on one’s own petard” comes to mind.
When I first heard that phrase as a kid, I assumed that a petard was a dagger of some sort and pictured a big guy stealing the bad guy’s dagger, stabbing him with it and then using it as a lever to throw him mover the balcony railing. Colorful and entertaining, and giving Shakespeare a certain panache.
Then I found out that a petard was actually a bomb, and the picture changed to a guy being blown up into the air when his bomb went off because he was careless and stupid.
Awesome! It gave me a whole new respect for Shakespeare.

Democrat Hoax in Virginia
This from Lance Sjogren
The great thing
about exposure of the white supremacism hoax mounted against Republican
candidate Youngkin is that it is far more than just an abjectly
embarrassing election dirty trick for the Democrats.
It shines a
light on one of the most important domestic political issues that
American voters ought to be giving weight to when deciding which party
to vote for. And that is that one of the cornerstones of today's
Democratic Party is the use of inflammatory false allegations of racism
in order to whip up hostility toward the Republican Party.
With
the public likely to be much more alert to this phenomenon after this
incident, it will be harder for the Democrats to benefit from
race-baiting. And if they were to have any thought of trying to pursue
a bombshell race-baiting incident as an "October surprise" prior to the
2022 election, this incident may give them pause.
See also
here.
Tim adds:
Two points 1.if there was so much white supremacism around the Democrats wouldn't need to fake it and 2.they clearly don't have any confidence in their own message or they wouldn't have to stage a false flag. They would rely on having superior logic and better policy. That they had to go to this shows a sense of desperation.

Florida School Board Member Takes Kids to Gay Bar
Timothy Birdnow
Here is a good reason to make Merrick Garland sick the Feds on you.
Yes, this pervert of a school board member actually took kids on a field trip to a gay bar.
A Florida school board member chaperoned a group of elementary school children on a field trip to a gay bar, according to photos of the trip she posted to social media.
"I
was SO honored to be invited to chaperone Wilton Manors Elementary’s
field trip to the incredible Rosie’s! The students and I had a fun walk
over and learned a lot about our community! A huge thank you to Rosie's
Bar and Grill for hosting this special field trip every year!" Broward County School Board member Sarah Leonardi posted on her official school board Facebook page Wednesday.
The
post, which was examined by Fox News Thursday morning, shows photos of
children in a popular Florida gay bar, Rosie’s Bar and Grill, including
a photo of the group posing next to the restaurant’s sign.
Why would this woman believe this was at all appropriate?
The modern left and the educational establishment are doing this to provoke us, I suspect. She knew she was going to infuriate the parents. The educrats are now in the business of not just openly defying parents, but mocking them.

As a musician, I've been in and played in gay bars. They can be OK, and I had some fun bantering with the other entertainers, but these places are NOT OK FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL KIDS. In fact, I wouldn't take an elementary school kid to ANY bar.

Exactly Dana. Schools aren't supposed to take kids to bars, gay or straight.
And this was clearly an effort to promote the gay lifestyle.
The article suggests this particular bar isn't just a bar where gay people hang out too, but rather one that is salacious and aggressive about the matter.

When I was getting close to "the age" I sometimes went to a local bar in town with my father (and drank pop), where I learned a great deal about "bar culture." As in, the bartender is the BOSS, and if anybody comes in wanting to "change the atmosphere," the bartender will (or would, in those days) put a quick stop to it, generally just by his air of authority. Nothing more was needed. Those were nicer times!

I was in a few bars myself when I was younger with my parents. They loved music and used to like to go to piano bars and the like. Also, they were very social critters. What you say is true.

Our Ancestors Had it Better?
Frank Lasee
Of course it wasn’t better for humans back then.
Finding food every day without being eaten by a predator was a
challenge. And don’t slip and fall or get an infection. Being unable to
move freely or dying of an infection were big problems.
https://www.cold-takes.com/was-life-better-in-hunter-gatherer-times/
Tim adds:
I don't see how anybody could believe we are worse off than our
ancestors. They were hot in summer, cold in winter, dirty most of the
time, lost their teeth while young, got sick and had to live with it,
suffered when injured, at bad food, drank bad water, smelled, worked every waking hour, had no entertainment, made their own clothes, their own homes, their own food, and died
young.
Other than that it was SOO much better!

Well there is THAT Dana!

Exactly right Dana. And while there were a lot of bad people in the Old West, there always were decent people fighting them - and that was in no small part because they were all Christians who went out there.
If we had a breakdown of law and order today we wouldn't have the kind of heroes we remember from the Old West. We'd just have anarchy.
