Interesting

In the later stages of an insurgency, there are government forces who actively assist and provide aid to the insurgents. We are seeing that in Portland. The police there are trying to spin what the insurgents are doing. In a report of last night’s activity, the Portland police had this to say:

By 10:30 p.m., the large group reached the PPA office. As the group approached, Portland Police began making public address announcements informing the crowd they were to not to engage in criminal activities. People within the crowd committed crimes when they erected a fence, pushed dumpsters into the street to block traffic, set a dumpster on fire, vandalized the PPA office with spray paint, and destroyed security cameras. (emphasis added)

What they mean when they phrase it like this, is that the insurgents made a vehicle barricade that looked like this:
That is not merely a fence. It is a barricade that also involved arson. They also set fire to public buildings, shined lasers at people’s faces, and then threatened to burn down the house of a person who dared to look at them. 

The money quote?

You’ve really internalized capitalism if you’re more worried about getting a good night’s sleep so you can f***ing work. F*ck you!

Spoiled white kids without jobs.

As soon as they shout “We know where you live. We are going to burn your building down.” Shoot that loudmouth in the face. You just watched them commit arson to a building, and they just threatened to do the same to your house.

As we approach the election, things will continue to get worse. What still remains to be seen is what will happen after the election is decided. 

My mother in law is crazy

My in-laws live a couple of miles away. They periodically travel and ask us to look after their house. Fine so far, they do the same for us while we are away. What makes her crazy is what she wants done:

While they are out of town, she fills 2 five gallon buckets with water, turns off the water to the house, and drains all of the water lines because she is afraid a pipe will break while she is away. I told her that this isn’t a problem in Florida because we don’t have to worry about pipes freezing.

Then every couple of weeks, she asks us to go over and pour the water from the buckets down the drain, because she believes if the drain pipes dry out, they will “go bad.”

Her house had natural gas. She had it removed and converted her house to all electric. Why? Because she sees on the news that houses with gas blow up a lot. I pointed out that houses with electric catch fire. She doesn’t care and claims gas is dangerous.

She puts mothballs next to every door and window because she doesn’t want snakes entering her house when she is gone.

Nuts. Just nuts. It’s easier to just do it than it is to keep arguing with her.

COVID hard on children, says 10 year old

A ten year old girl wants everyone to know how serious of an illness COVID is, even for children. Kendall Hanson said she had headaches and stomach aches but the most painful symptom was isolation.

Seriously? She had to stay in her room for a week. All she had was a computer, three video game consoles, a TV, her smartphone, and $4,000 worth of toys. It must have been horrible.

This is one of the most useless complaints I have ever seen.

Blocking access to courts

Protesters are standing in front of courthouse entrances and locking arms to prevent landlords from entering to file eviction cases. 

One of the rights that Americans have is the right to petition the government for the redress of grievances. The courts are one of the places where that is done. The difference between a lynch mob and the acts of these ‘protesters’ is one of degree, not principle. 
If they can do this now, what is to stop them from doing the same to polling locations on election day?

Bill of Attainder

A Bill of Attainder is an act of a legislature that finds a particular person or group of people guilty of a crime, and then imposes a penalty upon those people without trial. Bills of attainder are specifically prohibited by Article I, Section 9, Clause 3 of the US Constitution.

So let’s say that you are a Communist and you want to take the property of those rich people. You simply target those people for property confiscation and accuse them of the crime of being wealthy. Instead of calling it a punishment, simply call it a tax.

That is what Bernie Sanders has done. He has introduced a bill to confiscate 60 percent of the windfall gains the country’s wealthiest billionaires made between March 18 and Aug. 3 by calling it a tax. He was quoted as saying:

In my view, we can no longer tolerate the three wealthiest people in America owning more wealth than the bottom 50 percent, while over 30 million Americans have lost their jobs and 92 million people are either uninsured or under-insured

The fact that so many people support this is another indication that we are in the midst of a Communist takeover of this country.

Shoe on the other foot

Canadians have long been critical of the Trump administration’s stance on illegal immigration. Trudeau, Canada’s Prime Minister, has been a vocal critic of Trump and the very idea of a wall.

To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength

Now that the border between Canada and the US is closed due to COVID, it seems that Canadians are suddenly against illegal immigrants. I wonder if this is a true change of heart, or if Canada still feels that the US is wrong?

They are so opposed to Americans entering the country, that they have begun attacking Americans and vandalizing their property.

Some concerned residents who fear that the virus will be spread to their communities have been taking matters into their own hands, spurring so many reports of intimidation that the premier of British Columbia, John Horgan, reminded angry Canadians to “Be Calm. Be Kind” at a July 27 news conference.
Addressing those Americans who are in Canada legally, he said: “With respect to those who have offshore plates and are feeling harassed, I would suggest perhaps public transit. I would suggest that they get their plates changed. I would suggest that they ride a bike.”
