POLITICAL: Some Weird Stuff Happened In That Election

Saturday, November 14, 2020

Finally, and most importantly, why doesn’t anyone in journalism care? I get that they’ll never embrace the idea that the election was stolen, but why not investigate in order to discredit the idea? If they’re so sure fraud played no role, expose it and bestow on Joe Biden a legitimacy he otherwise won’t have. It’d be a lot more effective than simply being angry about it and attacking anyone who asks questions, wouldn’t it?

That the left isn’t at all interested in rooting out voter fraud, even if there wasn’t enough of it to impact the results, is telling. Democrats benefit from it. There is no “Republican machine” manufacturing votes in deep red areas, but the dead voting in Chicago has been a joke since long before I was born. Why is that accepted anywhere?

GUNS: Is Philly DA Playing Politics With Trump-Supporting Veterans?

Friday, November 13, 2020

Was it reasonable for Macias to believe his license to carry in Virginia was going to be recognized in Pennsylvania? Maybe, though if he’d been paying attention to Second Amendment issues in the state he would been aware that in 2018 Pennsylvania’s AG revoked the state’s reciprocity agreement with Virginia.

Confessions of a voter fraud: I was a master at fixing mail-in ballots
By Jon Levine

*** begin quote ***

A top Democratic operative says voter fraud, especially with mail-in ballots, is no myth. And he knows this because he’s been doing it, on a grand scale, for decades.

VETERANS: Inspiration in Steadiness From Band of Brothers Paratrooper, Carwood Lipton

Wednesday, November 11, 2020

During a season of intense stress in history, Carwood Lipton, an elite World War II paratrooper from the Band of Brothers, provides a prime example of someone who held things together. On a wintery evening in Belgium’s Bois Jacques woods, Sergeant Carwood Lipton slipped through the twilight from foxhole to foxhole, encouraging the soldiers in his care.

TECHNOLOGY: Dropping Google and returning to the “less evil” empire of Apple

Wednesday, November 11, 2020

2020-Nov-11 1257

Ok, I admit that my attempt to move from Apple to Google was a complete and utter failure.

Google:

  • By killing Google Cloud Print, it made my printer “obsolete” with no alternative. (Was the final straw!)
  • Google docs and sheets are no where near as good as Microsoft Office.
  • Google’s “end of life”-ing chromebooks is inexplicable.
  • Google’s 4a offering was “unsubscribable”. (A tech giant should be able to do that!)
  • Google has no support comparable to Apple’s.
  • Google Fi’s beem a disappointment compared to Altice Mobile.

Apple

  • Has a remarkable consistency in their infrastructure.
  • While killing iTunes Apple Music, iWeb, and a parade of obsolescence, it has been as disruptive as Google’s “end of life”-ing chromebooks.

I’ll continue to watch the field, but it’s no sense wasting anymore time.

I’ll still recomend chromebooks with the caveats about printing and “end of life”-ing.

Argh!

(My apologies for the bad advice!)

VETERANS: Memorial

Wednesday, November 11, 2020

Image: Wikimedia Commons The Anthem Veterans , in Anthem, Arizona, consists of five white pillars representing the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard. Each pillar contains a slanted elliptical opening, and the five are arranged so that at 11:11 a.m. on Veterans Day, November 11, the sun’s light passes through all five and illuminates the Great Seal of the United States, which is inlaid among 750 red paving stones engraved with the names of veterans.

GOVERNACIDE: The Facts on Andrew Cuomo’s Nursing Home Policy – Just Facts Daily

Monday, November 9, 2020

Wednesday morning on ABC’s The View, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo gave a factually misleading explanation for the thousands of people who died with Covid-19 in NY nursing homes.

Source: The Facts on Andrew Cuomo’s Nursing Home Policy – Just Facts Daily

*** begin quote ***

So in the face of proven scientific facts and crystal clear guidance from federal health agencies, Cuomo forced C-19 carriers into the vicinity of the people who are most vulnerable to the virus.

Cuomo and his surrogates then used a series of falsehoods to cast blame for his policy on others. Now, he is impugning people who would hold him accountable for his actions.

*** end quote ***

Can Cuomo be held accountable?

Not very likely!

POLITICAL: New Judicial Watch Study Finds 353 U.S. Counties in 29 States with Voter Registration Rates Exceeding 100% | Judicial Watch

Sunday, November 8, 2020

Judicial Watch announced today that a September 2020 study revealed that 353 U.S. counties had 1.8 million more registered voters than eligible voting-age citizens. In other words, the registration rates of those counties exceeded 100% of eligible voters. The study found eight states showing state-wide registration rates exceeding 100%: Alaska, Colorado, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Vermont.

SECESSION: When Your Vote Doesn’t Matter – Eric Peters

Sunday, November 8, 2020

What happens when the people of a state are disfranchised?

When they come to know that their vote doesn’t matter?

Is it equitable that a geographically and proportionately tiny part of a state dictates to the rest of the state?

By what right does a Beltway bureaucrat autocratically govern the lives of farmers who live hundreds of miles away?

The Coonman is the governor of Northern Virginia. He is loathed in most of Virginia. But the people of the rest of the state cannot vote him out of their lives because their votes don’t matter.

Northern Virginia decides the politics of Virginia.Do we not adhere to the idea of the consent of the governed? How can there be consent when there is no choice?

This is not about red vs. blue. It is about right vs. wrong.It is time for a parting of the ways.

Same in the Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee, the populous cities — mostly in North Jersey — dictate to South Jersey.

And it’s notorious for corrupt politicians and bureaucrats.

Time for local secession!

LIBERTARIAN: What Will It Take for Americans To Consider Breaking Up? – LewRockwell

Saturday, November 7, 2020

In Nation, State, and Economy Mises talks about a “liberal nationalism” and explains what a confident nation requires:A nation that believes in itself and its future, a nation that means to stress the sure feeling that its members are bound to one another not merely by accident of birth but also by the common possession of a culture that is valuable above all to each of them.

And, like the USSR, all large states must devolve into the their “organic” parts that share a common value set.

NEWJERSEY: New Jersey Sued Over Carry Laws – Bearing Arms – 2A lawsuit

Thursday, November 5, 2020

In the lawsuit, which can be read here, both Stanley Bennett and Michael Hucker lay out the steps that they took in order to try to get a carry license, including having to provide multiple character references who were willing to be interviewed by local police.That provision alone should be enough to get New Jersey’s law tossed as unconstitutional, in my opinion, but the suit details further infringements on the right to bear arms stemming from the state’s “justifiable need” requirement.

There is no “Second Amendment” in the Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee.

As well as a lot of other “rights” here.

Argh!

When will the “We, The Sheeple” revolt?

When they start loading the trains for the camps?

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? . . .” — Alexander Solzhenitsyn

LIBERTY: Mailchimp makes its censorship rules official, outlines right to ban users for “inaccurate” content

Wednesday, November 4, 2020

At least Mailchimp, a US email and marketing automation service – doesn’t even try to pretend there is some objective, consensus-based way in determining what’s false and what’s true. Instead, they’re saying what many others in the tech industry are thinking and doing: “misinformation” is simply what we decide it is, because we can.
