Bad News

So let’s look at some dirty news.


...keywords:  Washington D.C.


...and of course the teacher “escaped prison”, because female.


...so the little Jock lesbian got at least one thing right… in ten years.


...while millions of starving African villagers could only wish for such a feast.
#TheyStartedTheWar


...so basically, she’s admitting that we’ve already lost our democracy?


...I dunno;  after centuries of neutrality, they have to be out of practice at this “war” thing.


...no, I didn’t get that backwards.  Relax, Jake;  it’s Seattle.


...and no, that’s not a typo.  He failed his examinations, because apparently you’re only allowed to rape elderly patients when not wearing uniform.


...keyword:  Canada.  (Although it’s probably even worse for U.S. college students.)


...because he hasn’t even started menstruating yet.

And as for INSIGNIFICA:

   


...I know, I know:

Well, at least she’s honest.  Unlike all the politicians in the news.

Quote Of The Day

Weather

Following more than 100 inches (2.65 meters, for those of the Napoleonic Persuasion) of snowfall over the past couple weeks, here’s the response:

“We don’t need a reason to expect a lot of snow; it’s Alaska. We put up with all kinds of things that most of the rest of the country doesn’t, and honestly, most of us like it that way.”

No mention of Global Warming Climate Cooling Change©, of course.

Winter:  when “climate” turns back into “weather”.

“More” EU?

Eco-Crap, Economics, Mocking Furriners

Well now, looks like that Zero Emissions or whatever is getting a little pushback in, of all places, Europe:

Farmers across Europe are rising up against the EU, with angry agricultural workers in Spain being the latest who are set to join the growing tractor protest movement.

By using their heavy machinery to block roads in and around major capitals on the continent, farmers in Germany, France and other EU nations have expressed their anger over rising costs, EU environmental policies and cheap food imports which they say are leading to a deterioration in working and living conditions.

…as Jeremy Clarkson discovered on the TV show about his farm in Britishland (which, by the way, has inspired his European counterparts).  Then this:

But as farmers in France, Belgium and Italy staged protests on Monday and Tuesday, and as Spain’s three main agriculture unions said they would soon join them, French president Emmanuel Macron risked inciting further fury by brazenly telling the disgruntled growers: ‘You need more Europe, not less.’

Just another globalist woke asshole who needs to be tossed out on his ear (cf. Fidel Trudeau, FJ Biden, etc.).

In the meantime, I’m watching the whole thing unfold…

And So Say All Of Us

Gummint

Here’s an interesting take:

The most important and consequential trend of the twenty-first century has been the rapid expansion of centralized power and the resulting collapse of government competence. We are experiencing widespread and accelerating [federal] government failure.
…
Ironically, a collapse of the U.S. government would produce many great benefits, given its present size, cost, intrusiveness, and ineptitude. Of course, the social dysfunction caused by disruption of Social Security and other entitlements would be massive; shortages of food and other essentials would be devastating; the temptation for other nations to attack us in a variety of ways would be irresistible; and other dire problems would arise.

The states, however, especially the red ones, would surely step in to restore order and cooperate with one another to support interstate commerce, protect the nation’s borders, and take care of the less fortunate in more sensible and affordable ways. As the Texas border protection effort indicates, many states are eager to do just that.

Though it would involve an agonizing period of adjustment, a devolution of power from the federal government to the states and localities would be a boon, well worth the temporary suffering. Until governments stop promising the moon, conditions here in the real world will continue to deteriorate.

I wonder just what all the ramifications of this could be.  Read the whole article for details.

That Pesky Constitution Thing

Gummint

I know that all the Kool Kidz (i.e. the Biden Administration and the Deep State) seem to treat the Constitution as a minor annoyance, to be brushed aside whenever it gets in the way of whatever ghastly thing they’re doing to fuck America over.

Of course, that might cut both ways, in this case when it comes to that pesky part that says that only U.S.-born people can become President.  (Lest we get any ideas:  amongst other things, it prevents me from running for President, which really is A Good Thing.)

But tell me that you don’t get feelings of longing when you realize that this guy is also prevented from becoming Our Guy:

Argentinian President Javier Milei is continuing his effort to shrink the size of the country’s government. Under his leadership, the government recently cut yet another pound of regulatory flesh from Argentina’s economy.

On Monday, it was reported that the state pushed forth another deregulation package in an effort to free up more of the nation’s market by getting rid of “Soviet resolutions.”

I just came over all tingly.  None of that “Add one, subtract two” of the First Trump Presidency:  this guy’s just chainsawing the whole fucking regulatory thicket out of existence.

Every time I see what Milei’s doing, I feel the need for a cigarette.  And I don’t even smoke.
