From some guy in the Comments in an article which I can’t remember. (Oh wait, I just did.)
“The statewide electorate in New York is stupid and you should throw rocks at them.”
The same could be said for the electorates in most major U.S. cities, and a couple of states too.
Annnnnd the Germans are in deep shit:
According to release statistics from the German economic ministry, energy prices in August were more than double the same period last year, up 139%. The monthly increase was more than 20.4% higher than July. Additionally, producer prices for electricity rose 174.9% compared with August 2021 and by 26.4% in a single month.
This jaw-dropping increase in energy cost has resulted in German manufacturing prices for industrial goods jumping 7.9% in August alone, with a year-over-year increase in the cost to manufacture goods at 45.8%. That is the highest rate of price increase since Germany began recording their statistics in 1939.
It’s a pity they didn’t start in 1919, because then we could have compared today (and tomorrow, from the looks of things) to the numbers from the Weimar Republic. Nonetheless, Germany’s in for a rough ride.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of watermelons.
In this silly article (don’t bother, you’ll just get bored and it’s the WaPo), some aggrieved Black woman concludes:
“A queen might be dead, but the legacy of white Christian supremacy lives on.”
To which my response would be:
“And what, precisely, would you replace it with?”
If one considers the possible alternatives (Black tribalism, atheistic totalitarianism etc.), I’m not so sure that White Christian Supremacy — as a form of government — is the worst of all the options available. Certainly, it was White Christians who first abolished slavery (of all people, not just Blacks) through the governments of Sweden, Denmark and Great Britain, to name but three. It was also White Christians who developed the Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution, without which very little of today’s civilization would exist. Heck, White Christian Supremacy even created equations like 2+2=4, according to this moron.
I realize that White Christianity is not without its faults and shortcomings — but once again, when one compares it to the other options, it becomes like Churchill’s description of capitalism: “The worst form of government, except for all the others.”
Ask me too whether I’d rather (even as an atheist) live in a White sorta-Christian nation like the United States vs. a Black tribal one, a Chinese totalitarian state, a Muslim theocracy or even a soft socialist country like New Zealand or Australia… and it’s not even a close decision.
Stupid bitch.
Several of you sent me this lovely little bit of governmental stupidity:
More than 140 people experiencing homelessness in Denver will each be provided up to $1,000 in cash a month for up to one year as part of a basic income program designed to help “lift individuals out of homelessness,” the city announced last week.
The $2 million contract with the Denver Basic Income Project was approved by the City Council and will provide direct cash assistance to more than 140 women, transgender and gender non-conforming individuals, and families in shelters.
Civic altruism and wokism, all subsidized by taxpayer dollars. And I hate to break it to these Colorado morons, but “up to” a grand is going to lift precisely nobody out of poverty. It will, however, encourage more people in similar circumstances to come to Denver…
Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of socialists.
From Knuckledragger:
I wandered into the gun shop on the public square in town yesterday afternoon about 1 PM to buy a brick of 22LR and when I went to pay for it with cash, Brett started laughing at me with, “I guess you’ve heard about that credit card bullshit too, huh?”
He told me his credit and debit card sales are down 90% lately and every single one of his sales so far that day were cash transactions.
I’m going to head over to our local merchant of death later to see if he says the same.
Here’s another one of those “Wow, who’d a thunk?” moments:
The Defense Department’s chief diversity equity and inclusion officer has a history of anti-white tweets. Kelisa Wing is the DEI chief at Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA, which provides K-12 education to the DoD community in the U.S. and all over the world), also wrote books on ‘white privilege,’ defunding the police and BLM.
“I’m exhausted with these white folx in these [professional development] sessions.” Wing wrote in a July 2020 tweet, according to Fox News. This lady actually had the CAUdacity to say that black people can be racist too… I had to stop the session and give Karen the BUSINESS… [W]e are not the majority, we don’t have power.”
“Caudacity” is a slang term to describe “audacity” demonstrated by white people specifically in reference to ‘white privilege.’
Frankly, I think that any job title containing the words “diversity”, “equity” or “inclusion” should be labeled as what it really is: “A Worthless Job For An Otherwise-Unqualified Black Person”.
By the way, Sister Kelisa: Black people not only can be racist — see Jesse Jackson talking about “Hymietown”, and just about every other speech uttered by that equally-foul racist, Al Sharpton — but they are racist; ask any Korean or Indian shopkeeper for examples.
Also: racism doesn’t stem from power, you fucking moron, if you ever gave it a moment’s thought. (“Thought? Wut’s that White-ass shit?) You’re just another of those bullshit artists parlaying their private grievances into a “career”.
And just on a point of order: if it describes a sin committed by Whites, shouldn’t it be “waudacity”, if we’re going to invent words to convey a meaning?
By the way: she looks exactly as you’d expect her to look.
