Crybaby Euroweenies

Timothy Birdnow

What are you gonna do about it, jackasses!

Europe warns Trump against Ukraine deal 'behind our backs'

Until you actually defend and fund yourselves you are children living under OUR roof. We make the rules - not you.

I would point out to the Euroweenies they are perfectly free to go rogue on policy, and to even send in troops if they are a-mind. Nobody is stopping them. But they want to have a say in how WE conduct our foreign policy. If they have a better plan they should by all means bring it up. But they have no plan and no desire to actually lose troops there; they want US to do all the heavy lifting.

When they act like grownups we'll treat them like grownups. Until then they are but adolescents and will be treated as such.

Mo. AG Suing Starbucks

Timothy Birdnow

We have the BEST Attorney Generals here in Missouri!

Missouri AG Faces Pushback From Lawmakers Over Starbucks Lawsuit

Andrew Bailey really should have been hired by Trump for some cabinet post.

BtW he was the successor to now Senator Eric Schmidt, and Schmidt was Josh Hawley's successor. God bleww them all!

Anyway, Bailey is suing Starbucks over DEI. Starbucks has been discriminating against white applicants for jobs in the state and Bailey is cracking down.

"The statute in the (Missouri Human Rights Act) says that if it appears to the attorney general that any of these rights are being either violated or even that anyone is suppressing those rights, that the attorney general then, under the statute, has the authority to take legal action,” Bailey said.

The Democrats are appalled that their own weapons are being turned against them. A numbskull Democrat from Ferguson sneered:

'"I’m just curious if white-served coffee tastes a little bit better because if it does I’m happy to have some,” said state Rep. Raychel Proudie, a Democrat from Ferguson."

So typical of Democrats who cannot actually make a cogent argument. If the situation were reversed you know she would be screaming bloody murder about discrimination.

All Democrats can do is mock and sneer.

The article states:

"In the Starbucks lawsuit, filed in the U.S. Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, Bailey alleges that hiring and promotion decisions, as well as executive bonuses, were tied to a quota system for women and minority recruitment.

In 2020, the lawsuit states, 69% of Starbucks’ employees in the United States were women and 47% were Black or other minorities. In September, the filing states, 70.9% of Starbucks employees were women and 52.2% were Black or other minorities.

"In other words, since 2020, Starbuck’s workface (sic) has become more female and less white,” the filing states."

If that isn't discriminatory what is?

"Missouri consumers pay higher prices and wait longer for goods and services that could be provided for less had Starbucks employed the most qualified workers, regardless of their race, color, sex, or national origin.”

More importantly people - white males - are being discriminated on the basis of race and sex, something illegal in both state and Federal law.

She's Got Legs, and She Knows How to Shoot 'Em

Timothy Birdnow

This is what they are recruiting these days to keep the President safe.

Female secret service agent shoots herself in the leg

Apparently Quick Draw doesn't know how to use a weapon.

The Secret Service used to be the best of the best. Culled from Special Forces, they required little formal training because they already knew most of the job. Now DEI has the organization full of incompetents.

No doubt this gal will wind up on Trump's security detail...

Weakening Economy?

Timothy Birdnow

Sooo...retail sales figured are down to the lowest point in two years as of January.Why?

This Reuters article blames it on Trump, of course:

"Pre-emptive buying in anticipation of tariffs that would raise prices for goods helped to boost retail sales in recent months. But consumer sentiment has deteriorated, with one-year inflation expectations hitting a 15-month high in early February as households perceived that "it may be too late to avoid the negative impact of tariff policy,” a University of Michigan survey of consumers showed last week.

OR could it just possibly be the numbers have been cooked all along by the Biden Administration and now we're getting the real numbers?

The article states:

"Retail sales dropped 0.9% last month, the biggest decrease since March 2023, after an upwardly revised 0.7% increase in December, the Commerce Department’s Census Bureau said."

So we see they "upwardly revised" December numbers and thus it appears we are falling.

The fact is Trump was elected in NOVEMNBER and tariffs were always on the table and it didn't seem to disturb the public then.

The article does admit major snowstorms and fires in California contributed to a decrease in retail sales.

We all knew there would be an economic downturn this year, thanks to the destructive nature of what Bidenomics wrought. This is still Joe Biden's economy and will remain so for the next year.

The media will seek out anything they think they can pin on Trump. Don't believe anything they tell you!

CIA Assassinations

Timothy Birdnow

Here is the CIA manual for assassinations. This document, dating to the '50's, was "officially" rescinded, but we all know what that means.

Here are some of the interesting passages:

"It should be assumed that it will never be ordered or authorized by any U.S. Headquarters, though the latter may in rare instances agree to its execution by members of an associated foreign service. This reticence is partly due to the necessity for committing communications to paper. No assassination instructions should ever be written or recorded. Consequently, the decision to employ this technique must nearly always be reached in the field, at the area where the act will take place. Decision and instructions should be confined to an absolute minimum of persons. Ideally, only one person will be involved. No report may be made, but usually the act"

...

"Assassination of persons responsible for atrocities or reprisals may be regarded as just punishment. Killing a political leader whose burgeoning career is a clear and present danger to the cause of freedom may be held necessary."

...

"If the assassin is to die with the subject, the act will be called "lost.” ...The assassin must not fall alive into enemy hands.'

...

"If the assassination requires publicity to be effective it will be termed "terroristic.”'

...

"In lost assassination, the assassin must be a fanatic of some sort. Politics, religion, and revenge are about the only feasible motives. Since a fanatic is unstable psychologically, he must be handled with extreme care. He must not know the iden tities of the other members of the organization, for although it is intended that he die in the act, something may go wrong"

...

"In resistance situations, assassination may be used as a counter-reprisal. Since this requires advertising to be effective, the resistance organization must be in a position to warn high officials publicly that their lives will be the price of rep risal action against innocent people."

...

"Firearms are often used in assassination, often very ineffectively. The assassin usually has insufficient technical knowledge of the limitations of weapons, and expects more range, accuracy and killing power than can be provided with reliability. Since certainty of death is the major requirement, firearms should be used which can provide destructive power at least 100% in excess of that thought to be necessary, and ranges should be half that considered practical for the weapon."

End

In so many ways the first atttempt on Trump's life followed these procedures. The assassin was clearly a dupe, intended to die - a "lost".He appeared as a "lone gunman" despite the fact the very building he shot from had police on a lower floor. This fit the bill of a "reprisal" too as it was not just about killing Trump but killing his movement; had that bullet hit Trump's skull rather than his ear it would have ended any hope of reforming America. Everyone would understand that they would be next. It was a "resistance".

And as for weapons, Thomas Crooks had an AR-15. An AR-15 has an optimal range of 500 to 600 yards and Crooks was shooting from just 200 yards away; it should have been a sure kill had Crooks had any skill whatsoever.

Meanwhile we know the path was clear for Crooks. The defensive perimeter was far too small, and nobody was on the roof of that building, a building owned by Democrat donors. Crooks walkedright in holding his gun, and in fact even arrived early with it and hung around. Yet nobody stopped him.

In fact a police officer went onto the roof and left when he saw Crooks with the gun.

Then Crooks happily died from a counter-sniper bullet. How convenient.

Bomb making material was "found" in his car and home, and he had a detonator on him. Curiouser and curiouser. Yet no reason has ever been found for why Crooks did it, and his social media was scrubbed as has become all too common these days. We have seen this repeatedly, with mass shooters often having their social media disappearing. Another example was the mass shooting in Las Vegas a while back.

That attack stinks of a black op.

There are so many others; the Clintons had Vince Foster, for instance. And a second intern was going to testify before the Starr Committee and was shot dead at a Starbucks by a "stray bullet" the day before her appearance before the Committee. There was Seth Rich. I could go on and on.

But having failed in taking Trump out I strongly suspect they will use a professional next time and risk being exposed. In many ways they have little choice; they set events in motion a long time ago and now they must rid themselves of the head of the serpent lest they lose their power.

I don't expect the President to live out his term. If I were Mr.Trump I would have elaborate security in place, food tasters (a dog, maybe) and would definitely wear bullet-proof vests. The CIA is ruthless and won't stop.

Ditto the Democrats. The two assassination attempts on Trump will not be the last.

Raskin's Corruption

Timothy Birdnow

Jamie Raskin, who is the lead crusader against the DOGE audits, made millions via his wife through privileged information.

According to a story in Revolver news:

Well, some newly unearthed info on Jamie Raskin’s wife is starting to bring the full picture into focus—and it just might explain why Congressman Raskin is so terrified of DOGE and doing everything in his power to shut it down.

RELATED: Deep State’s #1 puppeteer gets his security clearance yanked by President Trump…

Turns out, Mrs. Sarah Bloom Raskin has quite the deep state resume—and some of her dealings raised eyebrows.


Timothy Birdnow

Another partisan hack
restores the piggy bank for leftists.

U.S. District judge Amir Ali (yes, that is his name!) ordered all funding be restored to NGO's and all foreign aid restored because, as he sees it, Trump's pause is "capricious" and he just doesn't like it.

I hate to tell this creep, but he has no authority to decide such matters; they are a political decision,not a judicial decision. He has grossly overstepped his bounds.

FTA:

"In a ruling on Thursday, U.S. District Judge Amir Ali stated that the administration failed to justify why a blanket suspension of all congressionally appropriated foreign aid was "a rational precursor to reviewing programs.”

Ali said that implementing the blanket suspension was likely "arbitrary and capricious” because it failed to consider the "immense reliance interests” of businesses and other organizations that had previously been awarded the aid."

end

So he is in essence saying ill-gotten gain must continue because the crooks have come to rely on what they are stealing. You could make the very same argument that an embezzler should be allowed to continue embezzling.

This guy needs to be impeached, if for nothing but massive stupidity at a minimum (he's not that stupid.)

Nobody is entitled to money from taxpayers, something forgotten in most stories about cuts. Tax funds are money essentially stolen from unwilling donors. It's a GIFT to these NGO's and nothing more. There is no right to a free lunch. There IS a right to hold recipients accountable.

Apparently not to this judge.
 

The kicker is that Congressman Raskin failed to disclose certain financials from his darling wife in a timely manner, violating the Stock Act in the process. But that’s not even the worst of it…

Insurrection Barbie:

Jamie Raskin’s wife previously served at the top levels of the treasury and the federal reserve during the Obama administration.

Raskin took eight months to disclose his wife’s sale of 195,936 shares of Reserve Trust, where she sat on the advisory board. This sale resulted in $1.5 million in profit for Raskin’s wife.

This was a violation of the Stock Act.

But that’s not the real story, the real stories is that in 2018, when she sat on the advisory board, the Fed granted Reserve Trust unusual access to its master account — an enviable get that allows the fintech company to move money for customers without relying on banks.

This was the only state chartered trust company in the country to get one.

And that’s why she got 1.5 million dollars in exchange.

You see why @RepRaskin is terrified of @elonmusk and DOGE auditing the treasury.

Jamie Raskin’s wife previously served at the top levels of the treasury and the federal reserve during the Obama administration.

Simply put, Sarah Bloom-Raskin held powerful roles as deputy Treasury Secretary and a Federal Reserve Governor—both very clear conflicts of interest, considering her husband sat on the Oversight Committee while she held those positions.

Corrupt to the core.

Nooseguard

Timothy Birdnow

The naked truth about Newsguard and Microsoft's funding of the censorship tool.

From Zerohedge:

Microsoft has dropped NewsGuard, a left-wing fact checking organization they partnered with that has helped the advertising industry justify blacklists for independent conservative media sites such as ZeroHedge.

The move came after Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) began investigating Microsoft for funding the online "media literacy” censorship tool created by NewsGuard to help guide "learners of all ages through the overwhelming landscape of online news and information.”

Now we come to find out that NewsGuard was funded by USAID…

In July of 2024, @SarahEKomar wrote a hit piece on me for @NewsGuardRating

In January of 2025 we learned that NewsGuard received nearly 3 quarter million dollars from the DOD courtesy of USAID.

Receipts below. pic.twitter.com/CRjPgWuFvi

(@realtimsharp) February 5, 2025

Why, pray tell is the DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE funding an organization ostensibly dedicated to "media literacy" and fact checking? I thought the DOD's job was to, uh, defend the country and not brainwash it!

And why was USAID, a foreign-aid group, handing out money to "fact checkers"?

We all know why but for the dense I will spell it out; because THEY WERE SUPPRESSING INFORMATION THE GOVERNMENT AND THE DEMOCRATS DID NOT WANT AMERICANS TO HAVE. They were censoring Americans and brainwashing using our tax dollars.

These "fact checkers" were engaged in a massive psy-op and tampering with American elections on a massive scale. And they were funded not by George Soros but by the U.S. taxpayer without their knowledge.

These folks weren't guarding the news; more like hanging us with their noose.

The Machine

Lee Zeldin exposes a plot by Biden and friends to funnel $20 billion to NGO's to launder back to the Democrats.

DOGE: EPA head @LeeZeldinhas exposed a scheme orchestrated by the Biden regime to funnel $20B to Democrat NGOs after leaving office. Biden’s EPA collaborated with Citibank to launder Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund money through the bank, enabling it to distribute it to the NGOs. pic.twitter.com/ggzcScvTsh

— @amuse (@amuse) February 13, 2025

I said at the time that things like the Inflation Reduction Act and even the Ukrainian war funding were being funneled back to the Democrats through a maze of shadow networks involving NGO's and progressive banks.

There is a reason why Kamala Harris could afford to spend a billion bucks on her campaign (and that was direct money - it didn't include the soft money); she and the Party were flush with cash laundered through these organizations. In other words she tried to steal America using our own money to fund the theft.

Heads need to roll and bells need to toll for these corruptocrats.

See, they built a machine, the same kind they've used in places like Chicago or Boston or California. You can't beat a machine if you play fair. But the machine was incomplete as of Trump's election which is why he was able to win. Now we must dismantle it or they will wait us out and come right back.

Fortunately we have the people we need where they need to be.

Kennedy Confirmed

Timothy Birdnow

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been confirmed as head of Health and Human Services.

Despite some ferocious opposition from the Democrats and even his own family Kennedy passed the Senate and is now HHS boss hog.

I don't much care, frankly; Kennedy is going to be very good about telling us what happened with Covid (or not - he IS a Democrat still, and a Kennedy) but he sucked on abortion and other such issues. I wasn't invested in his confirmation.

But it's still a great day because the Democrats have now been completely skunked on their opposition to everyone except Matt Gaetz.

This is important; anyone who follows any sports knows that momentum is a huge part of the game (any game) and when you have it you need to keep it. One mistake and you can get cold as ice and wind up losing the game. When it's on your side you seem to be able to do no wrong. The last Superbowl proved that; the EAgles haed the momentum and they made the defending champions in Kansas City look like high-school kids. They were not any better than the Chiefs, just had the momentum. They wound up squashing K.C. like bugs.

It works like that in politics too.

So the more we crush them the more demoralized they become, and the more we win. If they can't so much as stop Kennedy or Gabbard's confirmation they will come to believe they can't stop anything.

Frankly, choosing two Democrats was a stroke of brilliance by Trump in that it told moderate Democrats they had a place to go and at the same time rubbed the Donkeys noses in it. Trump just walked away with two of their own and they couldn't stop him.

Frankly I don't really trust Kennedy (I trust Gabbard more but don't really trust her either) and I think we need to keep his feet to the fire. But it's a great day nonetheless.

BTW the name Kennedy is Irish Gaelic for "ugly head". Take what you will from that.

Things Going Swimmingly in New York

Timothy Birdnow

This is a post from Tony Heller at Realclimate:

"On January 13, 2024, the day that the photographs above were taken, it measured water levels three feet higher than predicted.”

"the team predicts that in the next decade, water levels at the coastline of the Battery could rise nearly as much as they did in the previous 100 years, increasing seven to 11 inches by the 2030s.”

Flood Pressure

Since the date of that photograph, sea level has fallen about one foot at a rate of 21 meters per century.

https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/data/8518750_meantrend.csv

Sea level there is lower now than it was in March of 1958.

Send this Dog to the Impound!

Timothy Birdnow

Oh? Where was Soda Pop when Joe Biden simply disregarded court orders, such as to stop his student loan forgiveness program? It didn't seem to bother old gray mare back then.

Sotomayor Says Presidents Are Not Monarchs and Must Obey Rulings

Where has she been over sanctuary cities? Where has she been where Immigration law was just disregarded?

Sonia stated:

"Our founders were hellbent on ensuring that we didn’t have a monarchy,” she said, "and the first way they thought of that was to give Congress the power of the purse.”

True, but they also gave the President the power to determine how best to allocate resources and manage the implementation of laws. There is nothing in the Constitution REQUIRING the executive branch to spend money as Congress demands at all times. The President can't raise money of his own but he can sure as hell stop spending money.

In 1803, for instance, Thomas Jefferson saved money when he didn't need all of a $50,000 appropriation for gun boats, for example. And Jefferson was intimately involved with the Constitution, and had Madison there to tell him otherwise (both were Democratic Republicans).History is replete with Presidents refusing to waste money when it has been approved.

What of Joe Biden? He simply refused to build the wall on the Mexican border, even though it was approved by Congress and under construction. We didn't hear a peep out of Sotomayor or any other leftist back then, did we? It was assumed he had the legal authority to not spend the money.

But, but,but... what of The Impoundment Control Act of 1974? Okay, what about it? Congress passed this law (with a veto-proof majority of Democrats) to force Richard Nixon to spend on social programs. But this law is quite explicit, and it requires an exact procedure to compel the President to spend the money. As of yet Congress has not invoked it.

Oh, and Senator Mike Lee has written a bill rescinding the act which has yet to be voted on but has a real chance of passing. Furthermore, it seems like President Trump will challenge it in court and he has a good chance of winning.

That's because the Constitution is quite clear on the President's enumerated powers - he has the authority to decide how federal money will be spent and interpret laws.

The article continues:

"President JD Vance and others in Mr. Trump’s orbit have said in recent days that some of his actions are not subject to review by the courts."

They aren't. If you want to get technical the courts never had the authority of judicial review in the Constitution; they granted it to themselves in the case of Marbury v. Madison and have held it ever since.

But most certainly when the President is lawfully executing his duties as enumerated under the Constitution the courts have no say, or are not supposed to, at any rate.

Sotomayor obviously believes she and her activist ilk on the Supreme Court have the final say in everything and veto power the elected officials. That is not the case and never was. Alexander Hamilton argued the Courts were the weakest branch of government (despite being unelected and having no set term of office) because nobody had to listen to them. Sonia should think long and hard on that.

DOGE and the Reuters Scandal

Timothy Birdnow

Why was Reuters given $9 million to study "study large-scale social deception” by the Pentagram, er, Pentagon in the first place?

While Trump was President then it was the duplicitous James "Mad-dog" Mattis who was running the DOD, the same Mattis who publicly
called Trump a "threat to the Constitution" and otherwise publicly smeared his former boss, who fired him, and with good cause.

Now we see what Mattis was doing behind the scenes.

Elon Musk posted on X:

Reuters was paid millions of dollars by the US government for "large scale social deception”.

That is literally what it says on the purchase order! They’re a total scam.

Just wow. https://t.co/GGxoVQSwN8

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 13, 2025

I know; the article argues it was money given to Thompson Reuters and not ReutersNews Service. From the Mediaite article:

The contract in question, issued in 2018 during the first Trump administration, was actually awarded to Thomson Reuters Special Services for cybersecurity research.

Issued by the Department of Defense through the Air Force Research Laboratory and DARPA, the contract is described on the government’s USA Spending website as being in relation to "Active Social Engineering Defense (ASED), Large Scale Social Deception (LSD).”

The ASED program aims to create scalable systems capable of detecting, analyzing, and mitigating threats to bolster cybersecurity.

This is just a fancy way to make an end-run around things. The fact remains that the Military was handing out money it had no business handing out. And what is "Active Social Engineering Defense (ASED), Large Scale Social Deception (LSD).”?

ASED is about developing technology to "disrupt" what DARPA deems misinformation and social disruption. So what was happening back in 2018? We were seeing something very much like this being employed against people who questioned the Covid protocols and vaccines on social media.

Why name it Large Scale Social Deception (LSD) if you weren't studying - and by extension finding ways to both block and deploy - social deception?

Even the acronym should give us pause - LSD. This brings to mind the social experiments with the CIA and the drug lysergic acid diethylamide, made legendary by Timothy Leary and foisted on a generation of young Americans by the Central Intelligence Agency.

MK Ultra was a project aimed at mind control run by the CIA and it produced some terrible fruit, such as the Unibomber and the brutal Irish gangster Whitey Bulger.

So just the fact of this acronym suggests more than just stopping cyber attacks and disinformation campaigns from foreign entities.

So this may well be worse than giving money to Reuters news service; it was about propaganda and brainwashing of Americans.

Oh, and Elong Musk is not stupid; he knows full well what he's talking about. This article presupposes he is some ignorant clod, an ignorant clod who built spacecraft capable of doing things NASA can't get their equipment to do.

I would add that the Thomson corporation acquired Reuters news service in 2008, so while these are different divisions they are the same company. If you give money to one branch you give it to the corporation itself.

To make the claim it is entirely seperate is dishonest. This is like the difference between George Soros' Tides Foundation and The Open Society; both are tools of Soros and his revolution, just with different names to launder money.

CEO of Thomson Reuters Special Services put out this little load of diaper padding:

Thomson Reuters Special Services (TRSS), LLC is a separate U.S. legal entity governed by an independent Board of Directors, that operates independently from Reuters News. Recent public discourse has conflated these entities and has inaccurately represented the nature of the business between TRSS and the Department of Defense.

TRSS has provided software and information services to U.S. government agencies across successive administrations for decades, to assist in identifying and preventing fraud, supporting public safety, and advancing justice.

Reuters News is the leading global provider of business, financial and world news in keeping with the Thomson Reuters Trust Principles which govern its newsroom. Thomson Reuters commercial agreements, including Reuters News commercial agreements, have no influence over or impact on Reuters editorial coverage.

"Advancing justice"? He gives himself away here. Advancing justice isn't what anyone hires them to do.

Thomson Reuters commercial agreements may not, perhaps, have any influence over ReutersNews editorial coverage, but it damned well may have influence over Reuter's so-called news covereage. Better to say Reuters News coverage has plenty of influence over TR.

How do you "advance justice" through cyber security? That'swhat the news branch is for.

Of course the media is going to pound this argument into the dust and perhaps a lot of people will buy it. But this contract should never have been issued in the first place. Government has no business researching how to manipulate public opinion.

Bill to Impeach Trump-blocking Judge

Timothy Birdnow

Now the GOP is getting it!

Eli Crane to Introduce Articles of Impeachment Against Judge Blocking DOGE Audit of Treasury Payments

People need to start investigating these clowns, digging in their trash and examining their financial records and whatnot. They've been doing that to our guys for decades and we have never responded out of fear of "escalation" but after what they did to Trump they simply cannot escalate it further. We need Mutual Assured Destruction.

This should also teach us a lesson about not just rolling over when a Democrat wants to appoint some activist to the courts. Republicans always say "he won so he gets his picks"  and Democrats fight to the bitter end, trotting out bimbos to make wild accusations or whatnot.

Another point to ponder; every time they are forced to defend one of their own they are tying up resources they would use otherwise to launch offensives. Impeaching their judges limits them. They cannot allow our side to remove their pets and so they waste time and resources defending. It's what they have done to us over the years with much success.

Vance's Kinfolk Denied Treatment

Timothy Birdnow

J.D. Vance's kin folk (to use a hillbilly elogy) have had their 12 year old daughter denied transplant surgery because she didn't take the clot shot for religious reasons.

RFK Jr. was just confirmed as head of Health and Human Services. He needs to bring the hammer down on this hospital and the whole corrupt medical establishment.

These hypocrites forgot their Hippocratic oath.

Oh, the NPR article about Kennedy says:

"As senators voted to confirm Kennedy, a measles outbreak continued in Texas. As Marfa Public Radio reported, nine have been hospitalized in an outbreak of at least 24 measles cases in Gaines County, which has one of the lowest vaccination rates in the country. All cases are in people who were unvaccinated, most are children."

As if this is caused by Americans not getting their children vaccinated for measles when we all know full well it's because of all the illegals now in Texas who came here unvaccinated in the first place. This is just more proof NPR/PBS is an abomination funded by taxpayers and needs to be defunded as soon as possible.

The Milk of Liberal Blindness

Timothy Birdnow

There has been an ongoing fight over what Americans can and should eat and how it can be produced and this has huge implications for society and for our individual liberty. Do we, as a people, decide what we are collectively allowed to eat, or is that an individual choice? It's a major issue because the food is an absolute necessity and controlling the production of food, and the distribution of food, gives you control of the populace. Limit people in what they eat and you control them.

I've mentioned before the concept of the hydraulic empire. A hydraulic empire was a river valley civilization where the flow of water was under the control of the emperor or king or pharoah. Egypt, Mesopotamia, and China are three examples. They are always despotic, usually totalitarian. Anyone who doesn't obey gets the water shut off. Even if there is enough water to drink there won't be enough water for crops - the end result is an artificial famine. Nobody rebelled against a hydraulic empire.

The modern Left is attempting to create a hydraulic empire in the West, using health and environmental regulations to accomplish it. By restricting energy, for instance, they plan to squeeze people into the mold they have chosen. And by regulating food "for our safety" they will do likewise.

Which brings us to the matter of food choice and raw milk. A recent court case sided with an Amish farmer over his right to sell raw milk (milk that has not been pasteurized) across state lines.

Now, I wouldn't buy raw milk at all, and especially something shipped across state lines as it probably hasn't been kept at the proper temperature. But do Americans have a right to choose what they will eat or not?

No, according to liberals. The Heritage Foundation chronicles some of their efforts to forcibly impose a diet of their choice on Americans. There have been a number of court cases where judges sided with the FDA and other agencies against Americans' right to eat what they wish. SCOTUS weighed in on it, restricting some of their power to tamper with the American diet, but only to a point.

In a discussion about the constitutionality of Obamacare the late great Antonin Scalia had this to say:

"Everybody has to buy food sooner or later, so you define the market as food, therefore, everybody is in the market; therefore, you can make people buy broccoli,"

Of course this argument did not prevail at SCOTUS but it illustrates what happens when government intervenes in the private market.

What is ignored here is the most fundamental of things - the Constitution of the United States. And of that the Bill of Rights, of which the 9th Amendment states:

"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."

And just to make doubly sure everyone got the point there was the Tenth Amendment which states:

" any powers that are not specifically given to the federal government, nor withheld from the states, are reserved to those respective states, or to the people at large"

Nowhere is the right to regulate what people eat or drink granted anywhere in the Constitution. It is assumed via the elastic clause (also known as the "necessary and proper clause") which says Congress may make laws "necessary and proper" to good governance. BUT the Ninth and Tenth are AMENDMENTS which means they supersede the elastic clause, as surely as the 16th Amendment supersedes the constitutional limits on taxation in the original document, or the 17th supersedes the original election scheme making Senators appointed rather than elected.

And every layer of regulation adds to the cost of doing business. There is a reason why American farmers are becoming an endangered species and corporations are now running the production of food. Once the farmer is gone and it's all corporate farming they own us.

So this is a welcome development. I favor a regulation where farms have to provide a warning, much like tobacco producers do. But we have a right to eat what we want. Last I checked this is still America.

Here is my essay from around 2004 at American Thinker over food freedom and the Left's weaponization of it. (It's dated 2007 because that's when AT updated the site.)

Time to Leave Neverland

Timothy Birdnow

Mentally ill trannies threaten and badger

There were endless claims of "I don't feel safe" and claims that men in women's clothes are somehow being slaughtered (they aren't) but there were also not so veiled threats:

"If you say that you're afraid of Trump — and that's why you don't want the city to be a safe space for trans people — you better prepare for trans people to make this a very unsafe space!"

Said one powderpuff to the Worcester city council before the vote.

Why wasn't this dude (and I will "mislabel their gender" freely - they are the ones doing the mislabeling) arrested for making threats against the council and the residents of the city?

It's utterly astonishing how the Left has managed to get these key phrases to employ so much power over the liberal mind; "I'm not SAFE" "don't MISLABEL me!" "this is not a safe space!" "we need to prioritize over BIGOTRY AND HATE!" Just a few key buzz words, the kind used by children in grammar schools, and this parliament of dunces folds like an accordian.

I remember what they taught in grammar school "sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me". That was how children were taught in times gone-by. Now they are put in "safe spaces" and hidden from any adversity and think it an civil right.

We have raised a generation of eternal babies, and the fact they choose their own "gender" is proof of the insanity that comes with not growing up.

Another quote from a hissy fit tranny:

"Can you look at me and tell me how many of my friends need to die before you do anything?!"

Uh, can He/She/it tell me how many of it's friends have died from violence because they were perverts? Zip, zero, nada, the null set. But many of it's friends have caused the deaths of normal children and people - look at the Nashville shooting, for instance. This is a shibboleth designed to provoke sympathy where none is warranted.

I am mindful of Peter Pan, the novel by J.M. Barrie and not the Disney movie. Pan is in many ways the villain in the original story. His unwillingness to grow up leads him to remain in Neverland, and he traps others there as well, in a state of perpetual childhood. There is no growth, no acquisition of wisdom of knowledge, nothing real or serious. It's an eternal death, a death by stasis. While Pan is not evil he is trapped and seeks to trap others with him so he won't be alone. (Wendy is wise enough to discover this and leave Neverland.) Just the name should speak volumes; Pan was a variation of the god Dionysius, the god of wine and disorder and mental clouding. Pan was the god of wild things. He was the god of shepherds and flocks. He consorted with nymphs and other convivial fairy-like creatures.

The point is Pan was trapped by his immaturity as are most liberals, especially the LGBTQ and most especially the T. Gender dysphoria is generally an affliction of the young, who grow out of it if allowed to mature properly. But now we are freezing them in stasis, in Neverland, as children. They are not growing, not learning,not becoming who they were meant to be. Like Peter Pan they are forever children in a world that does not bend to their will. The end result is they suffer terribly, and they are very angry because they know in their heart of hearts it's all just a game.

Anomie ensues. The Encyclopedia Brittanica defines Anomie as:

"n societies or individuals, a condition of instability resulting from a breakdown of standards and values or from a lack of purpose or ideals."

That is exactly what is happening with these individuals. They have rejected reality for an abhorrent desire that is encouraged by a society that itself has gone batcrap crazy. They are foot soldiers in the Left's war on normalcy and the Judeop-Christian ethic, and they are being sacrificed. Of course they don't realize it and instead believe (because they have been told to do so) that it's societal bigotry that is the root of all their problems, not their own unwillingness to face reality and grow up.

Leftism is chock-full of anomie of all sorts stemming from this very thing. It is rooted in a celebration of carnality and lusts and willful pride and while it offers excitement and amusement it, in the end, winds up preventing the leftist from growing up, growing into the person they were intended to be.

There was an Andy Griffith episode where Andy Taylor told a hobo exactly what is wrong with transgenderism and liberalism. The hobo asked Andy why he couldn't just let Opie decide for himself about things. Andy said:

"Nah, I'm afraid it don't work that way. You can't let a young 'un decide for himself . He'll grab at the first flashy thing with shiny ribbons on it, then when he finds out there's a hook in it, it's too late."

Common folksy wisdom that utterly destroys the argument for transgenderism for the children. (I'll admit I didn't come up with this last; read it at Revolver or some such, but I remember the episode.)

Children have to be taught, and in fact want to be taught even if they protest at the time. Children are animals, as indeed are we all; it takes discipline and guidance to learn to control your base animal instincts. Take a child and isolate him and you wind up with an animal. We know this from feral children who are raised by wolves or other animals; they are more animal than person and usually cannot adjust to civilization. You have to be taught to find your higher self.

Which is what Peter Pand didn't want, and he was eternally a child for it. And it's what liberals want, most especially in this gender business. Animals get caught in traps or slaughtered or eaten by other animals. Basically in the end the same holds true for children not taught to be men or women.

So this city council just acquiesced to letting children act out. I am sure most of the members think they are good people, letting the insane pretend. But in the end real love would be to tell them it's not real, it's a fantasy and it's time to leave Neverland.
