Government

The Big Guy

Remember when the left said that Trump was Putin’s stooge? Remember when Biden cancelled the Keystone pipeline in order to save the environment? Do you also recall how Hunter Biden was on the board of a Ukranian energy company, even though he has no experience with oil, doesn’t even speak the language, and is completely unqualified for the job?

So explain to me how it is that Biden waives sanctions so that a Russian oil company owned by Vladimir Putin can build a pipeline. Was this because Trump was a Russian stooge, or was it to save the environment, or perhaps it was because ten percent goes to the big guy?

Why stop there?

The Biden administration is now teaming with social media dating sites to release health information to others who view your dating profile. HIPAA be damned, if you have received the COVID vaccine, you can get a token added to your social media page that certifies your vaccine status.

Why stop there? Let’s also get:

  • a token for HIV. If you have tested negative for HIV in the past 90 days, you should be able to get a token for that. It could say “Go ahead, you can suck it, its disease free.”
  • or how about tokens for people who are here legally? A sticker that says “My back is dry.”

Perhaps we can make people without the vaccine wear something so that everyone knows that they are not safe. Here is the first design:

Are those offensive? Of course they are, and so is one for the vaccine.

Dark Money

When it came to the Trump administration, Dark Money (money from groups that do not disclose their contributors) was cast as being evil, somehow unethical.

But have no fear, now that Biden is in charge, dark money is once again safe for women, children, and little puppies.

Dark money group launches $2 million pressure campaign on moderate lawmakers to pass parts of Biden’s agenda

See? Now dark money is GOOD for us.

Apples

Two years ago, I posted about a Florida deputy who was was recently caught planting drugs on drivers during traffic stops. He had apparently been doing it for years, and more than 100 people were charged based upon the drugs he ‘found’ in their cars. The pattern was the same- pull the car over on some pretext, claim that he could smell marijuana, and then meth would be found. Mysteriously, his camera would not be turned on until AFTER the drugs were found. In one case, he did leave the camera on, and it caught the drugs in his hand right before he planted them.

He was just convicted on 19 counts including racketeering, official misconduct, fabricating evidence, perjury, false imprisonment and possession of controlled substances and drug paraphernalia.

Before anyone says that this is because of “racist cops” the article from the Democrat shows 36 people who were victims of his scheme, and only four of them were black. Not racism, just an officer trying to make a name for himself.

End run

Let’s say that the police want to search your home. Lacking probable cause that a crime has been committed, they cannot get a warrant to do so. Well, that isn’t going to slow them down. They simply pay a burglar to break into your home, take some photos of whatever it was they were hoping to find, and then turn you in. Ridiculous?

How about the cop who was fired for donating to the Kyle Rittenhouse defense fund after a hacker released a list of donors obtained from the server of the company that processed the donations? What about that the Space Force Commander who was removed from his post for opposing Marxism? The US government is now monitoring the social media of military members, and getting rid of those who have political opinions not in line with full on communism. Violation of all sorts of rights?

They have decided that coopting a private agency to violate your rights is not a violation per se, because the government isn’t the one actually doing it. How long until they skip all of the other steps and just have companies imprison or simply execute American citizens without trial and without evidence. As long as it isn’t an actual government employee depriving you of your rights, it’s Constitutional, right?

Even worse, what if it turns out that the company who does it is actually run by government agents operating under the “signature reduction” program?

Sue them

I have been talking about evictions and how landlords are being blamed for the problems caused through government malfeasance.

Landlords all over are saying that they are being put out of business because they are not being permitted to remove non paying tenants from their property. The government claims to offer rental assistance, but it is a sham. A year of rent free living often means that tenants owe tens of thousands of dollars in back rent. These rental assistance plans often require that landlords sign an agreement which states that they agree to accept whatever the government sends as full and final payment for all past due rent. So the landlord is expected to accept pennies on the dollar.

Instead, some landlords in New Jersey have found a better way. After fourteen months of watching their money go out without a dime in rent being paid, they have had enough. They can’t evict- but they can sue. They go to court, sue the tenant, and get a judgement for the past due rent.

Such lawsuits do not violate the governor’s eviction moratorium. That has the communists going apoplectic.

“I don’t think it’s in the spirit of the moratorium,” Albert added.

The claimed “Spirit” and legal basis for the moratorium was that people who have been evicted pose a risk for spreading COVID. It is supposedly an infection control measure. Of course, we all know the truth: the eviction moratorium is just another giveaway program- one paid for by property owners.

Communism, isn’t it great?

Holy Crap

The women who threw a severed pig’s head onto the porch of a house that used to belong to the expert witness for the defense in the Chauvin trial have been arrested.

Those are some seriously ugly -er- women. Holy shit. That one in the middle looks like Jerry Seinfeld and Rosie O’Donnell had a love child. Don’t even try to picture what happened the night that Rosie tried to convince Jerry to to let her play the part of Elaine.

Let’s look at a Conservative woman to help clear our palate a bit.

Selection Bias

This story says that people with college degrees whose parents also have a college degree make more money than those whose parents don’t have a college degree. It also found that for children without a college degree, it made no difference if their parents had a college degree or not.

Why? My opinion (you knew I would have one)

If a parent has a degree in a field that pays good money, say medicine, law, or STEM, also tends to have children who follow in their footsteps. Examples: I have a degree in the medical field. My son is a nurse practitioner. My uncle has a degree in computer engineering. My cousin got a degree in marine engineering and is on the design team for the Navy’s LCS.

What if a parent doesn’t have a degree? They assume that all college degrees have equal value. They convince the kids that they need to go to college and get a waste of a degree in Leisure studies, music, or Gender Studies. A degree is a degree, right? Example: My wife’s cousin has a degree in outdoor recreation. She is largely jobless and spends all of her time smoking weed and banging Colorado ski instructors. Or you can simply look at every Asian and Jewish family in America and observe that Asian and Jewish mothers consider an education to be a gift from God.

A parent who goes to college and gets a degree in Gender Studies or some other useless major winds up working at a McJob and decides that a degree is worthless. He tells the kid the same thing. Kid doesn’t go to college and winds up in the same company with the same McJob at the same pay as dad.

Can’t get over this

The more that I think about the covert operations that I posted about here, the more that it bothers me. Whenever one is criticized for courting conspiracy theories, one commonly hears the reasoning “too many people would have to be in on it.” The scandals seem to come along every month or so: the IRS targeting by Obama, US Post Office spying on people, Fast and Furious, and more. When major events happen, say a mass shooting, we often hear that he was “known to law enforcement” but rarely how.

Then we read about this force of 60,000 military and civilian people whose job is to operate right here in the USA, each branch of the military has an intelligence branch, plus the CIA, NSA, DIA, NIA, who along with all of the spooks in the FBI, ATF, and other law enforcement agencies are busy collecting information and intelligence- even though the CIA and the US military are prohibited from operating in the US. Then even all of THAT isn’t enough and they must coopt other companies, as well as the US postal service.

No wonder they felt strong enough to steal the election.

This is the EXACT thing that the founders wanted to prevent when they prohibited a standing army in the Constitution. Trump wanted to drain the swamp. It turns out it wasn’t a swamp, it was a tsunami. The US has a shadow army, completely free of Congressional oversight, completely unaccountable to the citizens of the United States. This doesn’t look good for freedom, democracy, or the rule of law.

Police can search your car at will

This video is worth a few minutes of your time

If it wasn’t for the fact that I believe the BLM/Antifa protests will end with a Federal police force that is even more authoritarian than the one we have now, videos like this would make me happy to see the police getting into hot water.

This is a situation that the police have created for themselves.
