POLITICAL: I agree that people selected at random from the phone book would do a better job addressing the nation’s problems
Saturday, May 25, 2024(POLL) 54% say a random group of people could do better job than US Congress?
By Sharyl Attkisson | May 20, 2024
*** begin quote ***
Only one-in-five voters think members of Congress listen to their constituents, and a majority say a random collection of people would do a better job.
That’s according to the latest Rasmussen Reports.
The survey found that 54% of likely U.S. voters believe a group of people selected at random from the phone book would do a better job addressing the nation’s problems than the current Congress.

I’d suggest that we pick from the line at the unemployment office?

ECONOMICS: DJT needs to embrace the chainsaw revolution also
Friday, May 24, 2024https://jeffjacoby.com/27794/in-argentina-milei-exhilarating-chainsaw
In Argentina, Milei’s exhilarating chainsaw revolution is underway
by Jeff Jacoby The Boston Globe
May 19, 2024
*** begin quote ***
Through it all, Milei keeps “making the argument,” as Matthew Lynn wrote recently in The Telegraph. Underneath his brash style he is committed to serious economic and philosophical ideas —about free markets, individual liberty, and a smaller state. Like the economics professor he was for 20 years, he wants people to understand the case he makes for the efficacy of competition and the harms caused by overbearing governments. Everywhere politicians are addicted to subsidies, price controls, deficit spending, and corporate welfare. It is exhilarating to see a national leader who has a radically different vision and champions it unapologetically.
Jeff Jacoby is a columnist for The Boston Globe.
*** end quote ***
One an only hope that this catches on with “We, The Sheeple”. “Soft landing” might be possible if we get rid of all the mochers, parasitic politicians, and useless bureaucrats!

TINFOILHAT: Questioning was 9/11 a real “OPERATION NORTHWOODS”
Thursday, May 23, 2024A ‘KENNEDY’ vs a ‘BUSH’, what is the difference? Did one blink? If OPERATION NORTHWOODS was REAL, that the DoD, US government considered flying airplanes into buildings, civilian in 1962 to take out Fidel, against American and civilian targets, then did the DoD, US government actually do it for 911? John Kennedy told them fuck off when they gave him the plan for approval, we need to know when documents are unsealed, all discussions Bush had.
Dr. Paul Alexander
May 18, 2024
*** begin quote ***
Is a Kennedy different to a Bush? Did one blink? Who did what? What actually happened on 911? We still do not know except that 3000 people died escaping the towers and that someone, some people, some entities, something, took down the towers…what? was it really the planes? the fuel? the fire? or explosives? what really happened? Trump said on 911 the planes could not. Operation Northwoods tells us to believe anything could have happened and approved by people you THINK are there to protect and serve your best interests, and things in your wildest dreams that you would have said NOWAY…I say, YES, way!!!
*** end quote ***
I’m not sure that we will ever really “know” the truth.
The intact passport and WTC7 make me suspect that this is NOT what we are told it was.
The Gooferment is immoral, ineffective, and inefficient. As well as untrustworthy.
Nothing I have seen or heard makes me think otherwise.

VOCABULARY: The precariat is one misfortune away from insolvency
Wednesday, May 22, 2024Precarious: One Misfortune Away from Insolvency
By Charles Hugh Smith
OfTwoMinds.com
May 16, 2024
*** begin quote ***
As a result, a significant percentage of households that are considered middle-class are one misfortune away from insolvency.
We can summarize the changes in our economy over the past two generations with one word: precarity, as life for the bottom 90% of American households has become far more precarious over the past 40 years, despite the rising GDP and “wealth” as measured in phantom capital.
This reality is expressed in the portmanteau word precariat, combining proletariat (someone whose livelihood comes from their labor) and precarious: outside of government employment, work has become far more precarious. Where it was still common 40 years ago to work for a company for much or most of one’s career and have a private-sector pension, now private-sector pensions have vanished, replaced by self-managed 401K funds, and private-sector work is characterized by a series of not just job changes but career changes.
*** end quote ***
I blame this phenomena on the Gooferment. Specifically, the Federal Reserve System.
The Federal Reserve Bank is a misnomer. IT ain’t “federal”. It reserves nothing. And, it ain’t a “bank”. It is a private cartel of the elite banks run for their benefit and that of the entrenched politicians.
The Gooferment’s politicians and bureaucrats spend far more than we can afford and the Fed borrows and “prints”.
“Money is a matter of functions four, a medium, a measure, a standard, a store.” He repeated that four times like poetry. “Six Characters in Money: Portable – Durable – Divisible – Uniformity – Limited Supply – Acceptability.” — CHURCH 10●19●62 (Vol 1) 978-0-557-08387-9 page 110
Unfortunately, it is no longer a store of value and hasn’t been since the 1970’s or maybe 1913.
“The gold standard did not collapse. Governments abolished it in order to pave the way for inflation. The whole grim apparatus of oppression and coercion — policemen, customs guards, penal courts, prisons, in some countries even executioners — had to be put into action in order to destroy the gold standard. Solemn pledges were broken, retroactive laws were promulgated, provisions of constitutions and bills of rights were openly defied. And hosts of servile writers praised what the governments had done and hailed the dawn of the fiat-money millennium.” — Ludwig von Mises
Penny candy, Nickel cigars, Dime store comics, and Quarter a gallon gas.
Are all indicators of how much the value of the U$D has been devalued.
Remember that on payday, Election Day, or any other day.

NEWJERSEY: Say “no” to taxes for and due to illegal immigrants
Tuesday, May 21, 2024Posted on May 15, 2024
Blue State Nowhere Near the Border Is Having to Shell Out Billions Due to Illegal Immigration, Report Finds
Jason Hopkins, Daily Caller, May 8, 2024
*** begin quote ***
A report conducted by a New Jersey lawmaker found that illegal immigrants are costing taxpayers well over $7 billion per year.
New Jersey Republican assemblyman Paul Kanitra released the “Report on the Cost of Illegal Aliens to New Jerseyans” on Tuesday, which gives a comprehensive breakdown of how many illegal immigrants are residing in the state, its costs to taxpayers, and the current state of the border crisis.
Kanitra’s office estimated that, as of April 2024, there were roughly 894,000 illegal immigrants in New Jersey. Out of a state of just under 10 million, this would equate to nearly 1-in-1o New Jersey residents being an unlawful immigrant.
*** and ***
ltogether, Kanitra’s office concluded that New Jersey residents are paying $7.3 billion annually to cover the cost of illegal immigrants.
*** end quote ***
We can’t afford illegal immigration anymore than any place in the USA can.
Time to do a Nancy Regan and “Just say no”!

TECHNOLOGY: Comcast to begine the streaming content wars?

Comcast to Launch Peacock, Netflix and Apple TV+ Bundle at a ‘Vastly Reduced Price’
*** begin quote ***
Get ready for the next cable-like streaming bundle: Comcast later this month will launch a three-way bundle — with Peacock, Netflix and Apple TV+ — offered at a deep discount, Comcast chief Brian Roberts said.
*** end quote ***
Maybe time to inventory all the streaming services in prep for “better deals”. I suspect that everyone will be scrambling to match so as not to be Comcast’s “lunch”.

ECONOMICS: Rescue from “hoodoo” over Utah canyon — free?
Saturday, May 18, 2024Crews rescue injured man trapped on hoodoo towering over Utah canyon
By: Jeff Tavss

GRAND COUNTY, Utah — Utah search and rescue crews put their lives on the line in some of the most treacherous conditions around the state, often helping those who bite off a little more than they can chew.
Grand County Emergency Medical Services shared photos from an incredible rescue last Saturday that found a man stranded on a hoodoo towering thousands of feet in the air over the canyon below.
*** end quote ***
# – # – # – # – #
FROM FARK
Subby doesn’t subscribe to the notion that someone in danger should pay for their rescue, but, of course, there are exceptions
# – # – # – # – #
A rescue crew for 3 hours costs something. Why should “rescues” be “free” except to the Taxpayer.
Maybe there should be a sliding scale for reimbursement based on “forseeability of requiring rescue” or total cost or some other factors.
One buys travel and medical insurance in connection with a cruise. Why not something similar for venues like the Grand Canyon, National Parks, or ski slopes?
Maybe I’m a grinch but the Taxpayers should not be the stuckee.

POLITICAL: Gooferment “infringements” are a feature; not a bug

State Intervention and Anarchy
By Wanjiru Njoya Mises.org
May 17, 2024
*** begin quote ***
In Against the State, Lew Rockwell emphasizes that the assault on our liberties from the state is not merely “the product of temporary malfunctions. To the contrary, the state is by nature evil.” Rockwell shows that the state is founded on coercion and maintains its power by use of force.
In recent years, following the rise of environmentalism, public health “safetyism,” and the war against “hate,” state interventions have encroached even further into private and family life. Against the State shows that these interventions are not only coercive but also antihuman in prioritizing their goals above human life. A striking example of this was the lockdown policy of closing schools and playgrounds, on the basis that children are resilient and so there is no reason why the state should not keep them under house arrest for several months of their lives.
Another example is the prioritization of the needs of the socialized medicine behemoths such as the United Kingdom’s cultish National Health Service: the British journalist Sherelle Jacobs comments that “with NHS spending now more than that for education, transport, the Home Office and defense put together, Britain is arguably now merely a health service with a state attached.” Similarly, in Canada, private healthcare is banned, and citizens struggling to cope with life are offered state assistance in killing themselves.
*** end quote ***
As we all should know the Gooferment, its politicians and bureaucrats, as well as its accomplices (i.e., the media presstitures, the rich entitled, the celebrities, and the identiarians) are immoral, ineffective, and inefficient. As well as untrustworthy.
Hence, all we can do is be in what I’ll call “Always resist” mode.
There is no other way that to be a “stainless steel rat” a la James Bolivar diGriz, alias “Slippery Jim” and “The Stainless Steel Rat” — a fictional character and a series of comic science fiction novels written by Harry Harrison.
Just find your way thru the maze and never be fooled by the platitudes and preachings of these evil people.
Remember FDR’s “policies” lead to the improvishment of generations and millions of deaths in WW2 and beyond.
Argh!
