From !SCIENCE! comes this rather un-PC statement:
“To characterize this line of reasoning as having no basis in reality would be an egregious understatement. It is false at every conceivable scale of resolution.”
No, it’s not Marxist economics (although that might run a close second); it’s this “gender spectrum” bullshit, which (like Marxist economics) only exists at all because people wish it to be true.
Looks like the apparatchiks at the Centers for Disease Control are finally going to do the job they’re supposed to do:
Along with communicating with health care facilities and resources, Messonnier says that the CDC is in constant talks with the medical supplies manufacturers, distributors and other health care partners to ensure there are plenty of preventative devices like masks and gloves available in the U.S. in the event of a larger outbreak.
…as opposed to wasting time and money on invented “diseases” like “gun deaths”.
I must have been asleep when they put this little show on the road. I’ve bitched before about subscription creep, when subscribing to a multitude of websites adds up pretty quickly to a sizable (and ultimately unaffordable) sum. But this VIP Gold sub seems to be the business:
It’s a lot of money — I mean, a lot of money to hit Ye Olde Banque Accounte all at once — but to be honest, they had me at “ad-free”.
I’d ask them if this website of mine could join them in their little collective scheme, but they’d probably ask me to do stuff like tone down my fucking language, stop doing stuff like this:
…and hold off from posting pics like this:
…none of which I’m going to do , so it probably won’t happen. Oh well.
But all those mainstream newspaper pleas for subscription can KMA. They aren’t worth the digital paper they’re printed on.
Going back to my earlier observations about the fucking Marxists Social Democrats wanting to “unify the country”, we have this latest little contribution from one of the so-called “moderates” among the Democrat Clown Show:
Amy Klobuchar Says English Should Not Be Official Language of U.S.
Very few public statements by today’s politicians makes me want to pack a picnic lunch, grab my Mauser and head for a tall building in D.C., but this certainly ranks in the top five.
I remember once, in one of my more fevered rants passim, saying this about language in this country:
Nothing divides a populace quicker and more decisively than not being able to understand what the other guy is saying, especially if bi- or multilingualism is being mandated by law. It doesn’t work in Canada, it doesn’t work in Belgium, and it sure as hell never worked in South Africa. In fact, everywhere bilingualism is tried, it does nothing but cause friction, enmity and in some cases, violence.
As far as I’m concerned, when a politician running for public office makes such a suggestion, it should result in automatic disqualification by their parent party. And if that party refuses to do so, then it should face legal consequences.
I don’t care if Fernando Castro, Hua Li, Abu Hassam or any other escapees from the world’s shithole countries feel “left out” or “excluded” when they go to the DMV and can’t get anyone to talk to them, or who face incarceration because they couldn’t read the laws of this country. Learn the language — English — or GTFO.
FMIM again, and time to get back to work:
So, Teh Funny:
And here’s a Yummy Mummy for ya: Kirsty Gallacher.
Now dive back into that sea of troubles a.k.a. the time between now and next weekend.
After last weekend’s post about my “modern” dream car was roundly mocked in Comments, I’ve decided on my modern dream car — and it’s a 2020 model withal: the Mercedes Benz G550 Geländewagen:
Let’s recap: it was originally a .dotmil truck, the civilian version of which was first released back in 1979, and has continued more or less unchanged ever since — the longest production model in Mercedes Benz’s history. (I know: the 1981 modifications added frilly stuff like automatic transmission and A/C, but that’s all water under the bridge now.) So technically, the G-wagen is a 1980s car/truck which while modified over the years, has never relinquished its true ethos. Try saying that about any other car, I dare ya.
Tech specs for the 2020 model are: a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine which delivers 416 horsepower / 450 ft-lbs torque, outrageous off-road capabilities, and fuel consumption which gives the Greens sleepless nights, largely because… wait for it… it wasn’t designed by some fucking wind tunnel sycophants.
It presses all my buttons: a storied heritage, an unchanged appearance (why change it when you got it right first time?), massive power, virtual indestructibility, and political incorrectness.
And because I’m an Old Phartte (First Class), I love the interior luxury as well:
Finally, it has enough room to carry all the gun gear I’d ever want to:
Yeah I know: the G550 costs over $130 grand (which, considering that the Maserati QP it replaced in my affections costs well over $160 grand, means I’d actually be saving money to spend on a new shotgun). It’s not as roomy inside as, say, a Chevy Tahoe, but I don’t have to schlep teenage kids around anymore — it’s me and New Wife + guns/groceries for 99.99% of the time. And yes, it’s a bit of a hassle to get into because of its high ground clearance — hence the addition of retractable step rails (a 1990s modification).
And no: I’m not interested in the souped-up AMG version because I don’t need the additional power and concomitant stiffer suspension/less comfortable ride. I’ll leave that option to the Kim Kardashians of this world who seem to enjoy jiggling around.
I swear to you all: if I win the stupid lottery in time, I’ll arrive at Boomershoot 2020 in one of these. Just watch me.
