Apparently I did something right with the kids,

as they knew there were things they'd have to work for, and nobody would hand it to them.

"If you conservatives do something, the left might hit you back in the future!"

Yeah, like they already did.

Ever notice how many of their threats are "Don't make us do it to you again!" ?


A piece on the Socialist Rifle Association.  Which includes the "I have to do this because so many of you want me dead!"  Which is funny, because nobody would care about them if they weren't promising/threatening to blow up things and kill people.


Well, of course that's how they'll put it.

Knowing he was back on last night, I purposely searched out a leftie rag to see their take on it, and poof - right there on the front page of TheGuardian.com - is exactly what I was looking for.

Note how they couch shit. It was Trump who got him suspended. Disney was to blame for bowing to the hard right, etc., etc. No mention whatsoever of his reprehensible, jerkoff comments about Charlie Kirk and the public backlash he received. In the end he - and the leftie media - will always blame Trump. Of course they would, because they wouldn't know a real jerkoff like this guy if he spat in their faces. Juss' sayin'...

The fundraiser for BRM really helped.  Well done, people.

And yeah, antifa is threatening more people.  No surprise.  You'd think being declared a terrorist group might make them want to tone it down for a while, but it may just make them feel more free to do their thing.

You may have heard that when Pres. Trump got to the UN, the moment he and the wife stepped on the escalator it 'stopped working'.  And when he started to speak the teleprompter 'stopped working'.  Which turned out to be really dumb, because he just started speaking his mind, and I'd bet the UN hated every word.
That meant instead of delivering a 15-minute politely written speech, they liberated Trump to give a nearly hourlong toasting and roasting of the United Nations. There is no better extemporaneous speaker. 

 Thus, Trump gets 55 minutes of speaking, everyone else gets 15. 

 His speech was as golden as his hair. 

Nick Sortor tweeted: One of the most LEGENDARY lines from President Trump’s speech at the UN. “I ended 7 wars without help from the UN, which never even called. What is the purpose of the UN? They just write empty letters. Empty words do not resolve wars. These are the two things I got from the United Nations: a bad escalator and a bad teleprompter. Thank you very much.”

Oh yes, there was a lot more.

Socialism, Comrades!

And yes, it's real socialism.
Venezuelan special forces have carried out thousands of extrajudicial killings in the past 18 months and then manipulated crime scenes to make it look as if the victims had been resisting arrest, the United Nations said on Thursday in a report detailing wide-ranging government abuses targeting political opponents.

Special Action Forces described by witnesses as “death squads” killed 5,287 people in 2018 and another 1,569 by mid-May of this year, in what are officially termed by the Venezuelan government “Operations for the Liberation of the People,” United Nations investigators reported.

Well, they liberated those people from breathing.  And from further starvation.

Now we only wait for the left to figure out how to blame it on the US.

Tab clearing

'Why is my teenage girl picked on for NOT being gay or trans?'
The whole article is full of being sensitive and caring, etc., but does hit on something really important:
‘But there are an awful lot of children who are also uncertain at the same age, feeling they have to identify themselves by saying which camp they belong to. There’s a possibility that because some girls of this age think: “Oh I quite like that older girl” — as has always happened — or they are not yet interested in boys, they are rushing to categorise themselves or put themselves in a box. It’s as if we’ve forgotten that children go through phases.’
And it's become fashionable and 'correct', therefore if someone doesn't ID themselves as a member of an approved category, they're out.  Makes you wonder how many of the kids with troubles related to this are being pushed into the troubles by the PC idiots.


Oh yeah, it'll be GREAT with this squirrel running 'gender relations'.


I'd have said 'SOME of the most telling failures of socialism', but works either way.


Next time a Sanders supporter starts talking about Denmark...


In Seattle, people are losing patience with city leadership over the homelessness crisis, but the frustration is running in both directions: the city’s political, cultural, and academic elites are conducting their own revolt—against the people.

What leftists should know about Trump voters.
Good piece.  And "Us flyover-country people just loves Trump!" isn't on there.


Hey, ignoring the piles of bodies Socialism! piles up is what socialists do best.


Some people REALLY don't want these Epstein documents unsealed.
And there's a serious list of the people who could be the 'anonymous' here.


The CDC has been lying about this for a long time.  It's why they got a boot in the ass about 'gun research' a few years ago.

Socialism, Comrades!

The young, the old and the disabled cluster around the lone Western Union office — recently established to deal with the Venezuelan influx — in the hopes of receiving a few dollars from home or sending them there. Without passports or work permits, the Venezuelans — many with university degrees or decent jobs in what was once the wealthiest nation in Latin America — are now resorting to whatever it takes to survive.

“Hair, looking for hair,” an older man choruses through the crowd, turning to a group of women clutching their small children. Another man nearby holds a sign reading, “We buy hair.” More and more girls and women are turning to a cut to make ends meet, and feed their families for a few days.
...
Both men and women are exposed to sex trafficking along the route from Venezuela to Colombia. According to several walkers, some women “chose” prostitution as a means to make money and earn rides along the way. And some heterosexual men “sell themselves on the gay market” for a little money.

Other women are manipulated or forced into giving “pimp types” their documents and identification cards, and are subsequently drawn into prostitution rings. That’s particularly the case in border areas, where many rebel and drug-trafficking groups operate.

That's one solution

I have two dogs.  I love them.  I love my dogs a lot more than I love socialists.  So let this be a warning:

If you implement socialism, causing me to end up on $10 a month in wages so I can’t afford to buy dog food for my dogs.  I will not abandon my dogs.  I will grind your socialist voting ass into chopped meat and feed you to my dogs.

Forget coffee cups that say “Liberal Tears.”  You will end up in a old coffee can marked “Comrade Brand Dog Chow.”
Although the parasite meat should probably be inspected for any other parasites.

Among the interesting things in this:

“When you leave Cuba for the first time, you discover many things that you had been blind to,” said Yaili Jiménez Gutierrez, one of the doctors who filed suit. “There comes a time when you get tired of being a slave.”

One of the things the media isn't reporting on

because they're too 'busy' screaming about illegal alien kids:
A top aide to Democrat Rep. Yvette Clarke told Capitol Hill investigators she believed the New York congresswoman’s chief of staff, Shelley Davis, was working with IT aide Abid Awan to steal equipment from the congressional office.

Clarke “wrote off” one-tenth of her annual budget after $120,000 in equipment could not be located.

She did not mention it publicly and waited to fire Abid until House officials approached her about it months later. Davis no longer works there, but has not been arrested. 
Add this to all the other crap that's come out, and this should be a BIG story.  But it's not.  For some reason.


The leftists are not going to like it when some people start using their own rules against them.
"The video they are choosing to share is of the least aggressive portion of the attack that transpired after police arrived to control the scene. What they are not sharing publicly are several previous encounters involving large men getting in the Attorney General's face, spitting and blocking her exit," Ray said in an emailed statement. "The Attorney General tried to have a conversation with these individuals, however, when it became abundantly clear that they were not interested in a constructive dialog but were only there to cause a scene, the attorney general tried to leave the volatile scene."
She needed an escort.  To LEAVE the movie.


An idiot wants to follow the Chavez method and destroy Mexico.  And thinks
"And soon, very soon – after the victory of our movement – we will defend all the migrants in the American continent and all the migrants in the world," Obrador said, adding that immigrants "must leave their towns and find a life in the United States."

He then declared it as "a human right we will defend," eluniversal.com reports.
Oh yeah, this is going to work.  That wall will start appearing real quick if this crap begins.


The UN speaks of murders and horrors in Venezuela.  Mentions corruption and mismanagement, but somehow there's no mention of 'socialism'.  For some reason.


So, a baker who refuses to make a custom cake for a same-sex wedding is a horrible bastard who must be destroyed.

But a restaurant owner who says "We don't serve your kind here" is heroic.

Yeah, the left is really going to hate it when their new rules come around and bite them.

Forty-Five Things I Learned In The Gulag

Amazingly, none of them involved 'Socialism, Comrade!'  Except for the beatings and deaths and disease and....


Speaking of socialism,
* According to Gallup, Venezuela is now the least safe place in the world, having tumbled below Afghanistan in the rankings. Only 17% of Venezuelans say they feel safe walking alone at night.

* Polio has re-emerged in Venezuela, 30 years after it was declared extinct there. The country’s health care system is verging on non-existent, as hospitals not only have run out of medicines, in some instances they don’t even have running water.

* Venezuela is said to have more proven oil reserves than any other country, but its socialist government can’t keep the petroleum flowing, as pretty much everyone who is competent enough to do so has left the country. As a result, Venezuela’s oil exports are heading toward zero.
But I'm sure someone will be along to assure us that this isn't REAL socialism.

She has the right to be a nasty bitch, and donors

have the right to say "I don't want my money supporting her."  Deal with it, Fresno.
As Michael Williamson put it:
The Right: “I have this perfectly reasonable opinion.”

The Left: “OMG HATE SPEECH! YOU’RE FIRED AND YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA IS BANNED AND YOUR JOB IS FORFEIT AND YOUR BUSINESS WILL BE SUED INTO BANKRUPTCY.”

Randa Jarrar: “Barbara Bush was a racist and I’m glad she’s dead and I hope her husband suffers and eff you because I can never be fired.”

The Right: “Wow. That’s not right.”

The Left: “FREE SPEECH FREE SPEECH FREE SPEECH YOU FASCISTS!”

Google being run by intolerant leftists may well have a price.  A big one.   Good.


But recognizing their real enemies would mean criticizing some people and groups on the left.  And the people this is aimed at won't do that.


What?  Banning guns for the commoners didn't get rid of crime? Impossible!

You've got a socialist hellhole that doesn't want said commoners to have any way to fight back; what the left wants here.

Socialism, Comrades!

At least we're all hungry together(except for the powerful and party minions, of course)!

Other day a couple of the usual suspects were whining that it's the fault of the US that Venezuela is in the toilet.  Just like they blame us for Cuba being in the toilet.  No socialist can do wrong for these idiots, no matter how many bodies and how much misery pile up.


Speaking of idiots, over in (formerly Great)Britain, free speech is dead. 

First, the British Home Office took the incredible step of banning American conservative activist Brittany Pettibone, who was detained along with her partner Martin Sellner at Heathrow Airport. What had Pettibone and Sellner done to merit such treatment? They were slated to deliver a speech on the subject of “threats to free speech in the modern world.

...

But wait, there’s more! Not satisfied with acting like a bunch of spoiled Oxbridge brats determined to “no platform” those nasty foreigners, British authorities then took the step of detaining and banning the Canadian conservative activist Lauren Southern from the country on Sunday, holding her and interrogating her in a detention facility for six hours before sending her to France. Fortunately, I happen to be friends with Southern, and so got a window into the experience from her.

They can't/won't protect British girls from rape gangs, but they can keep people from speaking.  Brits who say something unapproved on bloody Twitter can expect to find the cops knocking at the door.  After all, that won't get the cops called 'racist' or something, so THEM they'll screw over.

Have I ever mentioned how glad I am that some of my ancestors got the hell out of those islands?

Socialism, Comrades!

An 18-year-old woman rubbed her swollen belly after fleeing with her infant daughter when the wounds from her C-section began to ooze pus. A young man whose femur had torn through his skin in a motorcycle crash needed antibiotics for an infection. An elderly retiree with a swollen foot arrived after taking a 20-hour bus ride from Caracas because doctors there told his family the only treatment they could offer was amputation — without anesthesia or antibiotics.

"If you want to sign, sign. But we are not responsible for the life of your father," Teresa Tobar, 36, quoted the doctors in Venezuela as telling her when they handed over the papers to authorize her father's surgery.

And you've still got idiots saying "We should give socialism a try."  The subtext being "Maybe it'll work this time."

No, it won't, you idiots.

Yesterday was Holocaust Remembrance Day

And it needs to be remembered.  It also needs to be subtitled 'Remember that it was Socialists who did this'

'Progressives'

After the scandal involving the ejection of Jewish women carrying Star of David pride flags at Chicago’s Dyke March on June 28, a sister organization in the city has announced that it will follow suit by banning “Zionist displays” from its upcoming protest against sexual violence and “rape culture.”

The ban was announced this week on social media by the organizers of SlutWalk Chicago — part of an international protest movement that “fights rape culture, victim blaming, and slut shaming.” The Chicago event is set to take place on August 12.
Wonder when they'll start issuing their more devoted members some snazzy armbands?


"But lying under oath and submitting false documents and violating borders is different when WE do it!"

From Madam Hoyt:

Enter Marx and his “scientific socialism.”  It wasn’t.  And frankly, anyone who looked into Marx -- who not only didn’t know science from a hole in the ground, and who had many of the things he wrote about already wrong as judged by his contemporary economists -- would have known it wasn’t scientific.

But people wanted to believe it was possible, all the more so after WWI turned Europe into an abattoir and planted doubts about Western civilization.

...

As all the attempts at communist (or to be fair even socialist, though the collapse there was slower) governance failed, and the horrors unfolded for all to see, all these “progressives” turned, with hatred and disgust not against the philosophy that destroyed formerly prosperous countries but against the entities who were, somehow, responsible for their dream not working: the US, Western civilization and, ultimately, humanity.

The socialists in Britain

Jeremy Corbyn faced outrage last night after it was revealed a leading supporter had described Islamic terrorists as ‘freedom fighters’. 

Activist Barbara Ntumy tweeted the astonishing claim that ‘one mans [sic] Jihadist/Terrorist is another mans Freedom Fighter’, adding ‘#JustSaying.’
...
Mr Corbyn faced further outrage after high-profile supporter Daniel York, an actor who starred with Leonardo DiCaprio in The Beach, described ‘Chinese and Indians’ as ‘clueless’ minorities who ‘suck up to the white colonial establishment’.
...
Mr York, who is half Chinese, said: ‘I was talking about the Conservative Chinese, not all Chinese.’
Yeah, that's SO much better.


Speaking of socialist assholes,
Regardless of the accuracy of Marx’s antireligious claim, a more baleful one is indubitably true: Socialism is the hallucinogen of the intellectuals.

Unfortunately, these hallucinating apologists for mass murderers do not suffer their vices alone. They spend their days and years pushing false history and evil ideas on college students, who, by virtue of their youth, have insufficient knowledge with which to counter the lies.
I'll note I haven't read the whole piece; it's behind a registration wall.  The part anybody can read is a good start, though.

Ah, socialism!

The uniformed men who shot Mr. Moreno were not government security forces, witnesses say. Rather, they were members of armed bands who have become key enforcers for President Nicolás Maduro as he attempts to crush a growing protest movement against his rule.

The groups, called collectives or colectivos in Spanish, originated as pro-government community organizations... 
...
As rising foreign debt and falling world oil prices have depleted the Venezuelan government’s coffers, it has increasingly turned to colectivos as enforcers. From labor disputes with unions to student demonstrations on university campuses, colectivos are appearing almost anywhere the government sees citizens getting out of line, Venezuelans say. 

Eladio Mata, a hospital union leader, says he was shot last year by colectivo members when negotiations deadlocked with the University Hospital of Caracas.

So "Aloha Snackbar!' translates once again to

"You'll never know why I did this!"

Seriously, are they trying to play 'hide the motivation', or are the London police actually this stupid?


Since there were originally votes involved, does that make this Sander's precious Democratic Socialism?
Venezuela took its strongest step yet toward one-man rule under the leftist President Nicolás Maduro as his loyalists on the Supreme Court seized power from the National Assembly in a ruling late Wednesday night. 

The ruling effectively dissolved the elected legislature, which is led by Mr. Maduro’s opponents, and allows the court to write laws itself, experts said. 

The move caps a year in which the last vestiges of Venezuela’s democracy have been torn down, critics and regional leaders say, leaving what many now describe as not just an authoritarian regime, but an outright dictatorship.
...

Meanwhile, political prisoners continued to be arrested. In January, Mr. Maduro established a new “anti-coup commando” to round up political dissidents accused of treason. The group has taken aim at members of the opposition, arresting many, including a city councilman from central Venezuela and a deputy lawmaker in the National Assembly.

In February, after CNN en Español, the network’s Spanish language channel, broadcast an investigation that linked Venezuela’s vice president to a passport fraud scheme in the Middle East, Mr. Maduro ordered the channel off the air. The government has blocked the Caracas bureau chief of The New York Times from entering the country since October.

Leftist tolerance and acceptance

A La Crosse man admitted throwing roofing nails into driveways of residents who supported Republican candidates after someone stole his lawn sign supporting a Democratic candidate, according to La Crosse police reports. 

Martin Sellers, 59, of 2126 Hoeschler Drive, told police he “has done some stupid things” during his arrest Sunday for criminal damage to property and disorderly conduct, reports stated.
Make damn sure he's prosecuted, and go after him for the damages.  You know what good tires cost?


"I called you names, but I'm happy to attend your party!"


It's leftists threatening Republicans/conservatives/libertarians, of course THAT'S ok.


So milk is now racist... these people are just freaking nuts.


Socialism!


Navy Polar Manual from 1965.

Hope! and Change!! through Socialism!!!

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro announced Sunday that he has decided to raise the monthly minimum wage by 50 percent from 27,092 bolivares to 40,638 bolivares, the latter amount equivalent to about $60 at the official exchange rate of 678 bolivares per US dollar.
"Our money only has value as low-quality toilet paper, BUT YOU'LL BE GETTING MORE OF IT!"

Somehow, I don't think this is going to work.


I hope this pans out.
Researchers at King's College London found that the drug Tideglusib stimulates the stem cells contained in the pulp of teeth so that they generate new dentine – the mineralised material under the enamel.

Teeth already have the capability of regenerating dentine if the pulp inside the tooth becomes exposed through a trauma or infection, but can only naturally make a very thin layer, and not enough to fill the deep cavities caused by tooth decay.

But Tideglusib switches off an enzyme called GSK-3 which prevents dentine from carrying on forming. 

Scientists showed it is possible to soak a small biodegradable sponge with the drug and insert it into a cavity, where it triggers the growth of dentine and repairs the damage within six weeks.
