RANT: Repeal REALID and reduce Gooferment powers; the politicians and bureaucrats abuse them!

Real ID was a real mistake and Congress should scrap it at last

“If fully implemented, the law would facilitate the tracking of data on individuals and bring government into the very center of every citizen’s life,” warns the American Civil Liberties Union. Real ID would make Americans’ personal information available to a vast network of federal, state, and local officials — an irresistible lure to overreaching government snoops, to say nothing of a mother lode for identity thieves. Even worse, the requirement that all driver’s licenses and ID cards have an unencrypted barcode puts that personal information within the grasp of anyone with an electronic scanner.

In authoritarian countries, it is taken for granted that citizens must always have their identification forms with them and that governments have a presumptive right to demand information about any individual at any time. That is not the American way. Here, the presumption is that the national government does not have an automatic claim to personal information and may not track individuals at will without probable cause to suspect wrongdoing.

“Where are your papers!” 

Every Nazi-involved movie always had this trope in it.  And, it should be a warning of the slippery slope.

Americans don’t need Gooferment “papers” to exist.

And, after we have seen how respectful the Deep State is to the First Amendment, why would we give them anything that could be misused.

And on … and on … and on!

“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? . . .”

RANT: Festivus for the rest of us

Festivus: Share your complaints and grievances for 2022
It’s your chance to gripe and get it published in the Tampa Bay Times.
By Christopher Spata Times staff
Published Earlier today | Updated 4 hours ago

*** begin quote ***

Festivus 2022 is coming. The “fictional” holiday that entered culture 25 years ago via a classic “Seinfeld” episode returns Dec. 23, meaning it’s time for the Seventh Annual Tampa Bay Times Airing of Grievances.

It’s your chance to gripe and complain from anywhere in the world about ways you’ve been annoyed this year. Your most petty peeves about loved ones, businesses, sports teams, your boss, your pets — whatever — will be published in the Tampa Bay Times. Examples of past year’s funniest reader complaints are here, here and here. Submit yours through this form by Dec. 19.

*** and ***

If you’re not familiar with Festivus, Frank Costanza (the brilliant, late Jerry Stiller) hilariously explains the anti-consumerism holiday that people still celebrate in real life in Season 9, Episode 10, The Strike, available on on Netflix. It involves an unadorned metal pole instead of a tree (tinsel is “distracting”), feats of strength and the airing of grievances. Festivusweb.com has more info.

*** end quote ***

My grievance is the FED (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.) and its debasement of the US dollar.  Leaving the Gold Standard allowed the Gooferment to spend wildly.

Argh!

RANT: Is anyone else tire of being made fools of?

Maricopa or Die
By Jack Gleason

*** begin quote ***

These same top-of-ballot counts were also less than the total votes counted for all U.S. House races.  In the nine Arizona districts, 1,325,000 votes were counted for GOP House candidates, while 1,196,000; 1,271,000; and 1,254,00 were totaled for the Senate, governor, and secretary of state GOP candidates.  Again, the Democrat side showed the normal pattern: more top-of-ballot votes.

The idea that anyone is being fooled by Democrat assertions that our elections are “free and fair” is not believed by most of the American people.  Problems with the election in Arizona have Republicans furious, and a majority of nationwide voters agree that our “sacred right to vote” is at risk.

*** end quote ***

Sad to say, but “elections” are just window dressing.It’s been exposed in numerous examples since LBJ in the 60’s thru to the recent election. 

Given that we are now ruled by “tyrants” what can be done  — shut up and ignore it; revolt; malicious compliance; or “national divorce”.I’m personally tired of being made a fool of. 

What about you?I’m open to suggestions.

Argh!

RANT: Alex Jones is the present day incarnation of a Salem witch

Alex Jones Is Innocent
By Walter E. Block
The Daily Bell
November 19, 2022

*** begin quote ***

Does this mean we should be free speech absolutists? That anything goes, verbally, or in writing? No. There is a class of statements that should be banned by law and heavily punished: threats.

If I say to you, give me $100 or I’ll shoot you, or kidnap you child, those are only words. However, I would be a criminal if I seriously said or wrote them to you.

But Alex Jones did nothing even widely approaching such a statement. Yes, he lied about a tragic historical event. But he didn’t even close to engage in libel or slander. Ok, he hurt feelings. That should not be considered a criminal act. He is entirely innocent of the charges laid against him.

*** end quote ***

First, I’m not a fan of Alex Jones.  And, he has a First Amendment right to publish his theories.  And, I don’t think Sandy Hook was “crisis actors”.

But, I don’t understand how an FBI agents get 90M$ from Alex by any stretch of law or logic.

Hurt feelings aren’t a windfall opportunity.

I am horrifies by the tragedy.

The Gooferment politicians and bureaucrats failed the public in so many ways in this and other shooting cases.  But they pay no penalty.

I don’t see how Alex Jones broke “the law”; maybe common decency or maybe common sense, but that’s about it.

I wonder if this will go to SCOTUS?

RANT: Never speak to law enforcement without an attorney and a video recorder

Key Takeaways from the FBI Whistleblowers Report
By Charles Sullivan

*** begin quote ***

3. The FBI simply cannot be trusted, and anyone who is being questioned by them must use extreme caution. As the prominent attorney Harmeet Dhillon has recommended, “never speak to the FBI without your attorney present, and never speak to the FBI without making an audio or video recording of the entire conversation.”

*** end quote ***

Goes without saying.

And, if I am ever on a jury, “I wouldn’t believe you, if your tongue came notarized.” … attributed to Judge Marilyn Milian, but may have an earlier history.

Sad to say, but “We, The Sheeple” have no friends “in power”.

RANT: Time for the State Gooferment to tell the Federal Gooferment to MYOB

Feds force New Jersey to yank tongue-in-cheek highway safety messages
By David Meyer
November 17, 2022 2:50pm

*** begin quote ***

The highways are jammed with snarky road signs — and the feds don’t like it.

Killjoys at the Federal Highway Administration have reportedly ordered New Jersey officials to stop putting up cute and funny message boards with in-your-face safety warnings, such as: “Hold onto your butts — help prevent forest fires” and “Get your head out of your apps.”

The federal regulators came down with the ban on Wednesday, just about a month after New Jersey started putting the sassy missives up on programmable electronic signs around the Garden State’s many highways, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Time for a “national divorce”.  

Remind me again why we have a  Federal Highway Administration in the first place.

RANT: Time to exit Google and others

The WaPo article coinciding with YouTube’s action is also a blatant illustration of how government, social media platforms and media collude and coordinate attacks to censor people and organizations with whom they do not agree, or who pose a threat to their propaganda narrative.

RANT: Is it time to “license” fact checkers? (Just kidding!)

What Happens When a Fact-Checker Doesn’t Get the Facts Right?
By Chandler Lasch
September 28, 2022

*** begin quote ***

Abrams’ claim that a heartbeat detected at six weeks of pregnancy is nonexistent and “a manufactured sound” is false, as is Kessler’s claim that ultrasound detects electrical activity, not the motion of a heart. For two years, Abrams has urged Americans to “follow the science,” while Kessler has insisted that at his newspaper, “we deal in facts.” Both are laudable goals – and equally applicable to the speaker, as well as their audiences.

*** end quote ***

One would think that the Washington Post would fire any “Fact-Checker” that (a) gets it so wrong; and (b) inserts their own “facts” into the mix.

Argh!
