Just Sayin’

….that if you’re part of a highly-organized group of urban terrorists who are hell bent on disrupting a lawful police action, and you show up for your little disruption play carrying a loaded gun and spare ammo, you need to be aware of the possible consequences.

And for all the other assholes who want to get involved in this little cosplay, just realize that your organizers are looking for martyrs for their sick cause, and you’re the bit players.

Have fun storming the castle.

Yeah, We All Knew That A Long Time Ago

From here:

Many people have noticed that agitators in Minneapolis are well-organized, sporting identical whistles, vests, and signs.

Is this a grassroots organic movement? Of course not.

Let’s take a look at the organizers and sponsors.

…and then follows a listing of the Usual Suspects:  Tides Foundation, Open Society Foundation, a whole bunch of other front organizations and… U.S. taxpayers.

The real question is this:  how in the name of goodness has George Soros not had his U.S. citizenship yanked, his money confiscated and been exiled to [insert your favorite destination here] ?

Range time?  I think so.

Taking A Hike

Okay, given that most  advertising shows  EeewChoob videos seem to be A.I. creations, treat this video with the usual circumspection because I don’t know how much of it is true and how much just cheap sensationalism.  (When I look up “Clarkson” and “Bill Gates” together, the video seems to be the only source — yeah, call me cynical and suspicious.  On the other hand, Clarkson hasn’t repudiated the report yet — something he’s never slow to do if it’s a load of crap, so maybe there’s actually something to it.)

All that said, if this item is indeed true, then it would seem that the Greatest Living Englishman has managed to resist the advances of the dreadful billionaire Bill Gates (purveyor of shit software since the 1960s).

As to what Gates is trying to do by buying thousands upon thousands of acres of British agricultural land:  your guess is as good as mine.  But given the Seattle dwarf’s track record, it can’t be A Good Thing.

And harking back to the previous post, it seems as though for every decent billionaire (e.g. Elon Musk), there seem to be too many scumbags like Gates and George Soros.

Thoughts On The Maduro Business

Look, I’ll come right out and say that if anyone needs to be kidnapped at dead of night and black-bagged on board a U.S. Navy ship to face a trial for all sorts of unspeakable bastardy, that Commie rat VenezPres Nicky Maduro would rest comfortably in the top ten.

What amazes me is that with all the domestic bastardy we have right here in the U.S. of A., why does it seem to be easier to arrest someone in South America than to do the same to, oh, Somalian fraudsters, Congressional thieves… and ne’er-do-wells like [pause to take a deep breath]  George Soros, Barack Obama, Eric Swalwell, Ilhan Omar, the Clintons etc. etc. etc.?

In other words, can we at least start to get some of the well-known local assholes into orange jumpsuits before venturing into furrin countries?

Because — and here’s a parallel thought — I have to say that unless the DOJ has some serious goods on Maduro, and by this I mean evidence of actual crimes that he has committed against U.S. citizens, I’m profoundly uneasy that we can just grab the leader of a foreign state, bring him Over Here and book him.  (I know, there’s the Noriega Precedent for this kind of thing.)

I mean, what’s BritPM Keir Two-Tier Starmer?  Chopped liver?  Surely he should have been ahead of Maduro on the list of kidnappees?  [pause to let the storms of applause from my Brit Readers die down]

And if we’re going to nab Maduro for shipping the eeeevil droggs to the U.S., what about the Mexican drug exporters?  (Okay, maybe they’re better-protected than Maduro, but still.)

All that said, if one of the end goals of this action is to make the other South American assholes (like that Colombian Commie tool) uneasy about their future prospects, then I can see why Generalissimo Trump dun wot he dun.

Of Course They Have

Here’s one that should come as no surprise to anyone:

Afghanistan goes back to the Dark Ages

Just a point of order:  when, precisely, did Afghanistan — or any of the -stans for that matter — ever leave the Dark Ages?  To continue:

The Taliban have ordered dozens of people to be killed by stoning and four convicts to be executed by having walls collapsed onto them, exposing the scale of brutality under the regime.

Figures released by the Taliban’s own Supreme Court show the group also publicly flogged more than 1,000 people across Afghanistan in 2025, including at least 150 women.

The data points to a sharp rise in corporal punishment, with Kabul recording the highest number of cases.

Official Taliban statements reveal that 1,030 people were whipped in public this year for offences including theft, running away from home and acts deemed contrary to Islamic law.

Well, yes:  when you govern according to Islamic law, the Dark Ages is pretty much a given.

Mind you, I’m not altogether opposed to a few public floggings.  I can think of a number of people (like this one or this one) who could only benefit from same, and our society might well be the better for it.

But a flogging for drinking booze and/or wearing a miniskirt?

Forget that crap.
