Trying not to start the public floggings

Nothing Wrong There

Conservatism, Good Stuff

Via Insty, this:

Two things to note here: firstly, Keith Self is my local guy and yes, I’m going to vote for him every chance I get.

Secondly, that fucking Muslim-only  EPCOT  EPIC City was planned to be built in Keith Self’s district (or very close to it — the maps are a little unclear).  Fortunately, that festering shithole was nuked by our worthy TxGov* but the assholes have renamed the thing and keep pushing it forward.  Self and Roy’s caucus would (I hope) stop it dead, forever.

Like I said, we need an asterisk in the First Amendment, and this is a good start.  It’s not enough just to trust the Constitution to protect our republic — see countless Second Amendment transgressions for examples — we need to start doing what the Texas constitution does and put in measures that actively resist and ban bullshit like shari’a.

*Yeah, Greg Abbott is also going to get my vote every time.

Yeah, We Know

Marxists, Morons & Idiots, Politics

Finally, the rest of the world discovers what we conservatives have known for years:  the Brooklyn Barmaid is a vacuous Marxist with little intelligence and an astonishing ignorance of, well, just about everything.

I actually started to watch AOC’s little speech at the Munich conference and had to quit because I was embarrassed by the spectacle of her complete meltdown.  I mean, she had no idea of any of the topics she was quizzed on — she couldn’t even recall her party’s talking points, let alone formulate any cogent or reasoned responses to the simple questions put to her.

The only negative outcome I can see coming from this is that she should have been exposed during the 2028 primaries instead of now.  She wouldn’t be able to debate prospective candidates from her own party*, let alone heavy hitters like Marco Rubio or J.D. Vance.

*I’m assuming that the Social Democrat Marxists might actually have a better candidate than this fool, but I could be mistaken.

High Hurdles

Foreign Affairs, Immigration

Speaking of the Swedes, I see that they’re following their Danish cousins and getting serious about immigration and citizenship:

The right-wing coalition government in Sweden has announced plans to significantly increase the threshold to obtain citizenship in the country, including a prohibition on migrants who fail to learn the native language.

The Swedish Ministry of Justice said this week that a series of new citizenship requirements will take effect by June 6th of this year. The ministry said that the measures will seek to “strengthen the importance of citizenship and increase incentives for individuals to become part of Swedish society, which also strengthens the Swedish community.”

According to the MoJ, the government will require migrants to live in the country for at least eight years to become eligible for citizenship, up from the current five-year standard.

It will also become necessary to demonstrate “self-sufficiency”, with a monthly income of around 20,000kr ($2,250).

Finally, prospective citizens will now have to demonstrate the ability to speak Swedish and knowledge of Swedish society.

All good stuff, and all quite reasonable qualifications to joining what is, after all, one of the more civilized nations of the world.

The only thing I’d add — were I a Swede at that level of power and influence — would be a limit on non-citizen residence to eight years:  in other words, if you don’t become a citizen after eight years, then out you go.  Once again, quite reasonable.

And Another Thing

Elections, Politics

Before we get dragged into another pointless argument with the Usual Suspects, let us remind ourselves what the three purposes of a secure Voter ID card are, namely that you are:

  • a U.S. citizen, and therefore entitled to vote
  • alive, and
  • can only vote once.

It’s really that simple.  Now ask yourself the simple question:  who would be against such a simple concept, and why?

The next step is a lot more, shall we say, punitive.  Considering that the above constitutes one of the principle freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution (i.e. that citizens are entitled to vote), then I would suggest one final step:

Any U.S. House Representative or Senator who votes against this measure should be immediately removed from their position because they have betrayed their oath of office, and must be subject to a recall vote in their state or district.

Frankly, I’m sick of fucking around with this nonsense — fraudulent votes, stolen elections, voter negation and all the rest — and it’s time we put an end to it.  Immediately.
