TN is Next to Fall

The legislature of the state of Tennessee is now powerless. Earlier, three of its members decided that they did not want to address the issues that the remainder of the body wanted to deliberate on that day. They led protesters into the chamber, and using bullhorns, they wrested control of the days agenda from the other 96 members of the legislative body, refusing to yield the floor. When the 99 members of that body overwhelmingly voted to censure the three by expelling two of them, those who were removed and their followers screamed about democracy.

Those people had their way, with the city of Nashville unanimously voting to send one of the expelled members right back. He reentered the legislature, even more disruptive and defiant than before. In his return speech, he DARED the members of the legislature to try and stop him, and effectively declared that the members of the Tennessee legislature are now his bitches. (I would post a video of that speech, but I can’t stand the way that he talks for long enough to do so. The way that he is imitating Martin Luther King, Jr. by drawing out some of the words is annoying and makes me want to throw my laptop.)

The entire legislature now looks like an impotent group of horse’s asses. They turned him into a martyr, and are now running scared at the accusations of racism.

This entire series of events guarantees that the legislature WILL discuss whatever he wants them to discuss, when he wants to discuss it. If they do not, he will again disrupt the meeting with a bullhorn, and there isn’t a thing that anyone can do about it. Gun control? Trans rights? Reparations? All of it is on the table, should Justin Jones decide that it will be so.

Now one would think that turnabout is fair play. The Republicans can attempt to do the same, grabbing a bullhorn and hijacking the legislature when they can’t get their way, but if there is anything that we have learned from the reactions to 2020’s BLM riots and J6, it is this: there are two sets of rules in this country. The Republicans simply don’t have the balls to realize that they are being played. They still believe that there are rules, and principles, and have a concept of shame and a sense of fair play.

Those things are all luxuries that we can no longer afford. The war has been joined, and until Republicans realize that this is a winner take all bare knuckled brawl in a back alley and not a boxing match following Marquis de Queensbury rules of decorum, they will continue to bend over and be the left’s bitches. Once this system is seen to work in Tennessee, other states will fall in similar fashion.

Coincidences Keep Piling Up

The 14th mass shooting of the year was the school shooting in Nashville. Against overwhelming odds, one of those killed was a close friend of the Tennessee Governor and his wife. The shooting happened shortly after the Tennessee Governor signed laws that pissed off the left, including the banning of lewd drag shows in front of children. What happenstance!

Exactly 14 days later, the 15th mass shooting of the year was in Louisville. One of those killed was a close friend of the Kentucky Governor. Less than a month prior, the Governor signed state passed a law banning sex change medical procedures on children.

The odds of any mass shooting including a friend of a Republican governor [of a state] recently passing a law pissing off the left are long. Even longer that two mass shootings in a row accomplish the same thing. The killings are close enough to the Governors in question to make them personal. It’s almost like a message is being sent. Perhaps the next one will be a bit closer? If it is, we can then be sure that these shootings aren’t random.

Men Staying Single

A recent survey found that 63% of men aged 18-29 are remaining single. There is much hand wringing and guessing as to why that is. I can tell you. The number of single young men is nearly twice that of single young women, indicating a large breakdown in the social, romantic and sexual lives of American men.

  • Many women are gold diggers, who only want a sugar daddy.
  • Far too many women don’t know what loyalty is. They will cheat in a New York minute.
  • It’s a minefield of which woman you date secretly has a dick.
  • Many women are promiscuous. Why buy the cow?
  • In the workplace, it’s career suicide to even talk to a woman.

The article I linked to is trying to place this at the feet of men, claiming that men have an unrealistic view of women and of relationships because men have objectified women. Bullshit. It’s women doing the objectifying. Why else are so many women making money on Only Fans?

The Law, Justice, and Insurgency

Aesop responds to my post on the destruction of the rule of law, and it brought to mind some interesting thoughts on the law, or more accurately the reasons why faith in the law is deliberately being undermined.

The law, and by extension law enforcement, exists to ensure that people get a fair trial and a punishment that is proportionate to the crime. In order for the law to work, the people that the law is supposed to represent have to believe that the law is fair and just.
Once law fails in that responsibility, or in the absence of law, the people will take the law into their own hands. What we have here is an entire segment of the population (blacks) who believe that the law is unfair and doesn’t protect them. Right or wrong, perception is reality. So they are taking the law into their own hands.
Once that becomes widespread, the targets of their version of justice can either capitulate or push back. In either case, the widespread disillusionment with the law is exactly what those who would bring down the nation want. As I have been pointing out for three years now, the left is following the CIA insurgency manual almost to the letter. What we are seeing here is the result of Fifth Generation Warfare.

The final stage of the overthrow of a government is easy to see in retrospect, but difficult to see while it is happening. Scholars have identified signals of this crisis state to include a decisive loss of legitimacy by the government, financial collapse, breakdown in authority, strong symbolic actions, and perception of dual sovereignty or provisional authority, among others. It begins modestly- assassinations, disappearances, unexplained deaths that aren’t fully investigated, and seemingly random attacks.

The goal of the insurgency is twofold: to convince the citizens that the government is powerless or unwilling to protect them, and that the insurgents ARE and WILL protect them. They need to create a failure of basic government services, like the rule of law. When enough people become restless and convinced that the rule of law has failed, that critical mass of people will look for a savior. That is when those who would overthrow the government step forward and offer to do what the people think that the government cannot.

This story has played out again and again. It isn’t my idea. Every single bit of this plan is right out of the CIA insurgency manual. You can find a PDF copy of it on the “training manuals” page, linked right at the top of this blog. Heck, the CIA weren’t the first to use it. Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals,” which in itself followed Lenin’s “Stages of a Revolution,” which was also a modification of Mao’s own theories on Communist revolutions. Hitler did it, too, although the Germans and their “Beer Hall Putsches” turned it into a national sport before Hitler was even a Corporal.

As I pointed out this morning, things are gonna suck. All we can do is ride it out. Just try to live long enough to read about it in a history book.

Leftist Spree Shooter?

Archiving this here. The spree shooter in Louisville has his pronouns in his LinkedIn profile, which has already been scrubbed.

His social media is filled with all sorts of leftie talking points, slams on DJT, social justice, and antigun screeds. I unfortunately didn’t grab many of them before they were scrubbed.

Tab Clearing

I get so many stories in the queue, that I just don’t have time to cover them all. Truth is, I could easily write a dozen stories a day, but I just don’t have the patience to get worked up that often. Anyhow, here are the best 10 out of the 50 or so I had waiting:

  • An openly Marxist teacher in Maryland is “fucking angry” and wants to teach kids to overthrow capitalism while saying that “revolutions involve violence.” I’m not too worried about it. I doubt that Maryland teachers are any better at teaching violence, Marxism, or revolutions than they are at teaching math and reading. Only 19 percent of Maryland students performing math and reading that is appropriate for their grade level. In fact, the school where she teaches, North Bethesda Middle School, is one of the better schools in Maryland, but that isn’t saying much. Only 36% of students in the school are performing math at grade level (12the best in the state), and only 69% can read at grade level (16th best in the state). Obviously not many great teachers there.
  • Millennials are the generation most likely to support a cap on wealth. Of course they do. What surprised me was the top wealth that they think people should accrue. Their top range (picked by 16%) was $100,000 to $500,000 in net worth. That would mean that professionals like doctors, accountants, and anyone who owns a home would run afoul of the wealth cap. This proves that millennials are bad at math. No surprise. Maybe they were asking people in Maryland..
  • This woman lost the money she was saving for a down payment on a house. It wasn’t like she misplaced it. The FBI took the $40,000 from her safe deposit box and is keeping it under asset forfeiture laws. The people who owned the safe deposit box company were criminals, but the FBI is keeping the contents of the boxes while not charging any of them with crimes. A familiar story, I know.
