Trying not to start the public floggings

Outcomes

CRT, Wokism

As I’ve often said, Marxism/Socialism/[whatever the Left calls it now] has always ignored the consequences of their stupid “philosophy in favor of its intentions.

Here’s a very interesting take on the whole CRT business, from someone who’s had to live with its consequences for over a decade:

The overarching truth is that an idea pushed South Africa to the brink. You guys know this idea, because it animates the sermons of critical race theorists trying to force you to take the knee and atone for your supposed sins. I am going to call it the Beautiful Idea, because it is beautiful in a way — but also dangerous.
The Beautiful Idea holds that all humans are born with identical gifts and should turn out to be clones of one another in a just society. Conversely, any situation in which disparity survives is in itself proof of injustice. This is the line promoted by CRT pundit Ibram X. Kendi, who blames all racial disparities on racist policies.

Read it all.

Then there’s this:

And here’s the ultimate outcome of such a philosophy:

And there ya go.  Now apply that to schools, universities, government departments, corporations and just about every other institution, and consider the inevitable outcomes.  To the Leftists, though, the outcomes are irrelevant, as long as the policies are noble and virtuous.

News Roundup (Biden Solo Edition)

Bad News, Diplomacy

It was all too much.  I tried like hell to suppress it, but the urge was too great.


…oooh I bet that pissed off the old Commie bitch, even though he didn’t mean it (see below).


…well, duh.  They’re anti-Communist, and he isn’t.


…sees no reason to ban travel from such a large continent:


…which means it’s doomed.


…probably because we already did.


…even though he blocked the Keystone XL pipeline, which will help them do just that.


…I just want to hear President Braindead explain the technology, without notes.

And now, some vintage pics of Jill Biden at the beach…

Slip Of The Mask

Elections, Marxists

This little excerpt of a Biden “speech” has been making the rounds.

As we all know, it’s eerily similar to a comment made by one J. Stalin:

“I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how;  but what is extraordinarily important is this — who will count the votes, and how.”  — (as noted by his longtime secretary Boris Bazhanov in his book “The Memoirs of Stalin’s Former Secretary” )

Note, by the way, that Stalin was talking about an intra-party vote rather than a popular one — but contrary to what Leftist history professors [some redundancy]  may say, that makes absolutely no difference because the principle is precisely the same.

There are actually two takes on President Braindead’s utterance:

  1. He went off script and unwittingly uttered exactly what he and his cronies think, or
  2. He was actually reading off the script that one of his staffers wrote for him, and the staffer wasn’t aware of the effect of those words.

Neither option makes Ol’ Fuckwit look good, nor his party;  but it’s not like we need any confirmation of their bastardy or his incoherence, do we?

The Beat Goes On…

Anti-Gun Nannies, Gummint, The Gun Thing

Looks like it’s a Sonny & Cher kinda day, because (once again via Insty) I see the following:

President Joe Biden’s latest round of attacks on guns is helping to drive a historic sales surge that continues to leave store shelves bare of firearms and ammunition.
Industry officials said that June sales were the second-highest ever for the month, at about 1.3 million. Only June 2020 had a higher number for that month, at 2,177,586.

Anyone checked the availability of AR-15s recently?  Orders still backed up out to infinity?  Thought so.

And now that the 9mm/5.56mm ammo pipeline seems to be opening up, things are going ahead as planned.

Not as planned by Biden and the anti-gunners, of course, which is why they’re running around like headless chickens, trying to pass all sorts of stopgap anti-gun legislation.

Now if we can just get the increased flow of .45 ACP to lower the prices down from nosebleed levels, maybe I can get some 1911 practice going again.  My Springfield thinks I must have left town or something…

Retaliation

Resistance

I was wondering how long it would take for this kind of thing to happen:

A statue of Martin Luther King Jr. was vandalized with SS bolts and a swastika in Long Beach over the weekend. It is the second time in two years the statue, erected in 1986, has been targeted, after a plaque bearing one of his quotations was stolen in 2019.

What’s interesting is that it happened in oh-so liberal California (although it should be noted that Long Beach does not share the same socio-political profile as, say, San Francisco or West Hollywood).

Here’s the pic:

To all those assholes who think it’s okay to desecrate monuments to past heroes like Thomas Jefferson and George Washington while revering those like Martin Luther King, let me just say this:  you started it.

I’m not excusing this kind of thing;  but I do understand the rationale.

One Totem, One Statue

Resistance

When you’ve lost the Canucks…

A native totem pole was set on fire on Canada’s Vancouver Island in what is suspected to be retaliation for the destruction of a statue of Captain James Cook.
The Salish Bear Pole was seen smouldering at the summit of the Malahat Highway hours after a mob ripped down a statue of the British explorer in the provincial capital of Victoria, took off its head, and “drowned” it in the Inner Harbour.

My favorite part:

“Fresh graffiti was also located at the scene, speaking to recent events in Victoria where a statue of James Cook was pulled down and thrown in the Victoria Harbour, based on what was written, we feel the two incidences are related,” the policeman said.

Ya think?  And in the very next sentence:

The words ‘ONE TOTEM – ONE STATUE’ had been scrawled in front of the burning totem in black spray-paint.

Ordinarily, I’d be loath to copy anything the Canuckis do, but I have to tell y’all…

Oh, and of course, CanuckiPres Manboy was quick to toss some gas onto the flames:

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has called the church attacks “unacceptable” but added that he “understand[s] the anger that’s out there against the federal government, against institutions like the Catholic church; it is real and it is fully understandable given the shameful history that we are all becoming more and more aware of”.

Maybe our Proud Red Ensigners should burn this asshole instead of a totem.  Just sayin’.
