Morons & Idiots, Taxes and Theft, Wealth Envy

Apparently, champagne socialist & CalGov Newsom wants to tax billionaires, to the general amusement of those of us waiting to see just how these shitforbrains Californians can find still more creative ways to cut their own economic throats (when they’re not defrauding the FedGov, that is).

Am I the only one who doesn’t give a rat’s ass what Newsom thinks, says or does?

I know, I know:  “O but Kim, he might one day become President!” goes the lament.

Yeah, and I’ll start supporting gun control.

He’s only powerful in his own mind, and in what passes for the minds of his deluded supporters.  And (you heard it here first), Hair Gel Boy isn’t radical enough for the AOC/Mamdani Wing of the Socialist Party, so his higher political aspirations are going to be fucked from two directions.

Irrelevancy, thy name is Gavin.

Finally

Eco-Crap

Start your engines, rev them loudly and turn your A/C down to 65, because the foolishness is ending:

The reelection of President Donald Trump came with an overall shift in the political landscape regarding climate and energy issues. Since then, major media outlets shut down their climate desks, corporations are easing back on emission-reduction targets, and polls consistently show the public rates climate change low on their list of priorities.

Can we also repeal all those stupid CAFE standards and regulations on auto companies and the cars they sell?

Could-a, Should-a

Immigration, Law and Order, Muzzies

Here’s one that got my right index finger twitching:

A Saudi Arabian asylum seeker activist has been sentenced to life in prison for murdering six people and injuring hundreds more at a Christmas market in Germany in 2024.

This week, the Magdeburg Regional Court handed down the maximum sentence to Taleb Al Abdulmohsen over an attack on the town’s Christmas market in which he used a rental car to plough into pedestrians, killing six, including a nine-year-old boy and five women. Over 300 more were left injured in the frenzied attack.

So far, so good — although a more fitting punishment would have been slow impalement — but here’s what got under my skin:

The Saudi Arabian native had arrived in Germany in 2006 and was granted asylum ten years later, despite warnings from Riyadh, Kuwait, and the United Kingdom over potential criminal acts.

…whereupon my feeling rage directed towards this asshole promptly transferred itself towards the Kraut officials who ignored those warnings and granted the lunatic asylum status.

So six people died and three hundred more people were injured as a result as a result of this foolishness.

...I’d just love to see the numbers behind that assertion — especially when compared to likely “tremendous numbers” of job losses to this new magical fad.


…only actual humans can qualify?  Buzz Lightyear and Woody sue for anthropocentric bias.


...can’t wait to see the MTBF* numbers on this little trend.  If we’re ever allowed to see them, that is.


...from bad to terrible, or from terrible to really horrible?  I report, you decide.


...let me know when the orange jumpsuits are issued.  Otherwise… [yawn]


...see above.

Eco-Crap, Sports

Every time I read something that begins “Environmentalists Warn”, I get an almost uncontrollable urge to either fall asleep or head to the range.  This one’s no exception:

Environmentalists Warn World Cup “Most Polluting Ever”…

Yeah, that’s really going to grab your attention, innit?  Because just about every mass spectator event could be similarly brushed.  But wait!

…as FIFA Boss Uses Private Jet to Hit Two Matches a Day

Ummm well, given that FIFA is the organizing body for the whole damn extravaganza, it kinda goes with the territory that they would be flitting from one venue to another, and we are not Qatar, where all the matches took place basically within walking distance of each other.  No;  this latest Big Sport Thing is happening in the United by gawd States, which is a yooge ginormous country and is the only country which, when tasked with providing the proper match facilities for some massive number of matches and hundreds of thousands of visiting spectators, looked at the list, spat some baccy into a cup and said, “Is that all you got?”  We didn’t have to build one single extra stadium, road, hotel or parking lot to handle the huge numbers of spectators.  Sure, the venues were somewhat far apart (by Rest Of The World standards, that is), but them’s the breaks.

If the enviros want to end that little bit of logistical city-hopping, they should hold all future World Cup competitions somewhere else, like Britishland.  Good luck with that.

Ain’t gonna happen, Watermelons, so go and suck it.
