Basic Stupidity

Gummint, Marxists, Taxes and Theft, Wokism

Several of you sent me this lovely little bit of governmental stupidity:

More than 140 people experiencing homelessness in Denver will each be provided up to $1,000 in cash a month for up to one year as part of a basic income program designed to help “lift individuals out of homelessness,” the city announced last week.

The $2 million contract with the Denver Basic Income Project was approved by the City Council and will provide direct cash assistance to more than 140 women, transgender and gender non-conforming individuals, and families in shelters.

Civic altruism and wokism, all subsidized by taxpayer dollars.  And I hate to break it to these Colorado morons, but “up to” a grand is going to lift precisely nobody out of poverty.  It will, however, encourage more people in similar circumstances to come to Denver…

Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of socialists.

Story Of The Day

Anti-Gun Nannies, Gummint, The Gun Thing

From Knuckledragger:

I wandered into the gun shop on the public square in town yesterday afternoon about 1 PM to buy a brick of 22LR and when I went to pay for it with cash, Brett started laughing at me with, “I guess you’ve heard about that credit card bullshit too, huh?”
He told me his credit and debit card sales are down 90% lately and every single one of his sales so far that day were cash transactions.

I’m going to head over to our local merchant of death later to see if he says the same.

Wrong Address

Government Thugs

From Insty, I see this little bit of villainy:

According to recent reports, the FBI has been conducting raids on Trump allies, executing search warrants on their homes, and issuing subpoenas to individuals as part of a pressure campaign.

But, now it looks like they’re not limiting themselves to Trump allies, but they’re even targeting Trump supporters who did nothing wrong.

Lisa Gallagher, a Trump voter in New Jersey, has come forward with the claim that the FBI visited her home the morning after Joe Biden’s fascistic speech at Independence Hall in which he declared Trump supporters to be enemies of our democracy.

Gallagher didn’t work in the Trump White House, nor was she present at the Capitol riot, yet she somehow ended up in the Biden administration’s crosshairs. She told her story to Tucker Carlson on Monday evening.

“I was terrified. I’ll be honest with you, when my daughter woke me up telling me there were three armed FBI officers at my door, I thought she was joking,” she told Carlson. “And I immediately tried to throw clothes on. I called my husband. I was crying. My knees were shaking. And even though I knew I had done nothing wrong, after seeing Joe Biden’s speech the night before I thought, ‘Oh my God, this is political.’ And I was frightened. I truly thought they can take me out of here in handcuffs.”

I almost wish they’d come to my door instead of some frightened woman.  And you can take that how you wish.

All-Seeing, All-Knowing

Government Thugs

Read this account of one man’s dealings with the FBI, and its conclusion:

Finally, this proves not only a strong political bias on the part of the FBI, against Trump, and against anyone remotely on his team, but it shows just how much the FBI knows about all your details, doings, GPS tracking, emails, telephone and FaceTime calls, videos, financial transactions, the cache in your computer and related devices, travel plans, workplace, networks . . . everything.

Many people over the years have cautioned me about my outspokenness and the ability of the Secret Police (a.k.a. the Fibbies) to mess with me and my life (“You’re going to end up on their list!” ).

I wasn’t intimidated by South Africa’s apartheid-era Security Branch, and I’m not scared of these little shits either.

Fuck ’em, and all they stand for — because what they stand for is un-American.

I’m not an especial fan of Donald Trump’s — unless, of course, the FBI somehow turns that into a crime, in which case I’ll be his greatest supporter.

Enough?

Government Thugs, Resistance

Call this a product of my COVID-raddled brain, or at worst just an example of intellectual curiosity, but:

What if those 87,000 new IRS agents aren’t enough?

And I don’t mean sufficient in number to perform the increased number of audits that these godless fucks seem intent on inflicting us with, but sufficient to handle the — how can I put this delicately?  — potential bodycount.

I hope that this is just a delirium-induced thought, but there ya go.

Never Forgive. Never Forget.

Yesterday marked the 30th anniversary of the beginning of the infamous Siege At Ruby Ridge, Idaho, where Federal agents shot and killed Sammy Weaver, a guiltless 14-yer-old boy and later on, his mother Vicky by shooting her in the face as she was standing in a doorway, holding her baby daughter in her arms.

Even though the shootings were classed as “constitutional” (!!!) by the FBI, the agency nevertheless paid husband Randy Weaver — the original target of the siege — $3 million after a civil lawsuit.

As this article in American Greatness points out:

[FBI agent Lon Horiuchi] shot and killed Vicki Weaver, who was unarmed, and neither accused nor guilty of any crime. For embattled Americans in 2022, it would be a mistake to regard this assault as a one-off.

“Desire to wage war on ordinary Americans—to disadvantage them and even to kill them—had long been bubbling in the ruling class’s basements,” wrote Angelo Codevilla, citing documents such as Hot Spots of Terrorism and Other Crimes in the United States, 1979-2008. This Department of Homeland Security study classified persons judged “suspicious of centralized federal authority” and “reverent of individual liberty” as “extreme right wing terrorists.”

As the man said, it’s not really paranoia when they really are out to get you.

Bastards.
