Serious Stuff

Deep Thoughts, Good Stuff

This is the best socio-political essay of the past 50 years, because it describes irrefutably what has happened to our so-called leaders (he calls them the Permanent Managerial Class, or PMC) as Afghanistan has reverted to a Muslim emirate.

It’s not too long — and even if it is, it will be the best time you’ve spent all day, perhaps all year.  It’s impossible to summarize (like all good essays), but here’s my favorite part:

How long it will take for their institutions to disappear, or before they end up toppled by popular discontent and revolution, no one can know. But at this point, I think most people on some level now understand that it really is only a matter of time.

Go there now, and read all of it.  I’ve read it three times.  (Thankee, Insty)

Speed Bump

Grammar Nazism

Actually, a multitude thereof, and all in the same article.

Mulcahy, pictured, was only trialed in 2000 when Duffy confessed he had been his accomplice.

FFS, it’s not enough that “trialed” is now being used as a replacement for “tested”;  now these illiterate assholes are using it instead of “tried” (in the judicial  sense)?

It doesn’t end there:

From there, the police started to look for a man with a A blood type…

You mean “the” A blood type, of course.

To add insult to injury [sic] , there’s this:

“The other thing, and we’ve never made this public, is that a tourniquet was used”

Ahem.  A tourniquet is a stopgap medical device to cut off massive bleeding in a wounded limb;  a garotte is looped around the neck and tightened by turning a stick or piece of metal as a means of strangulation.

And their description of the murder weapon:

They thought that [the piece of wood] been used as an accelerator to burn the body. It wasn’t. It was used act fallen out of the knot that had been used to strangle Maartje.

Right now, I am not allowed to visit Britishland, which is probably A Good Thing.  There would be murders at the Daily Mail offices, perhaps even by garotte (which would be fitting).

Gah.  Where’s the Sipsmith?

We Are The Enemy

Gummint, Resistance

Over at the Treehouse, Sundance outlines how We The People have become the enemy of the governing class:

The United States Department of Homeland Security made a quiet and alarming announcement yesterday, creating the official position of the United States Government under the Joe Biden regime. [SEE DHS STATEMENT HERE]  According to the statement, if you question the orthodoxy, mandates, or COVID-19 response from the U.S. government, you are now considered a “terrorist”, specifically a “Domestic Violent Extremist” (DVE).

You know, if you treat people as the enemy long enough, and provoke them often enough, they will eventually become exactly what you accused them of at the beginning.

Just sayin’.

And now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to the range.

News Roundup

Bad News

All the news that isn’t about Afghanistan.


…well, women shouldn’t play rugby in the first place, so…


…fake news, because you’re not allowed to carry a gun in NYFC.  Ditto below:

 
…never happened.

And similarly:


…doubleplusunpossible, because laws.

And:


…because legal gun owners are the cause of all Britain’s crime problems, you see.


…I see a job at the Clinton Foundation in his future.


…eaten by a bear, was it?  No?  Then it’s “grisly”.  You fucking illiterate assholes.


…you mean your parents signed your life away — or maybe they were already at the bank, depositing your money into their accounts.  Hell, they weren’t even around when Justin Bieber popped your teenage cherry.


…lol

And on that note, it’s time for SEX NEWS:


…key word:  Michigan.


…is it so wrong to get a woody when reading this headline?


…what’s really funny are the comments in the article.

And just a little INSIGNIFICA:

   

No doubt getting a last-ditch effort for money before the old wailer pops his clogs.

Finally:

Okay, that’s enough Tess.
