Crime at 1 First Street!

OMZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (See all those Exclamation Points? It means that this is VERY serious!)

A Crime has been committed at the Supreme Court!

But, don't worry - Chief Justice John Roberts is on TOP of it!

He's taking the extreme step of putting that crack investigative force - The MARSHAL of the Supreme Court - on the job of tracking down that criminal!

Now, the SC Marshalls are NOT like the US Marshals, who were depicted in The Fugitive and that Wesley Snipes movie (both  of which starred Tommy Lee Jones, and were really worth watching, if you like that action genre).

No, these guys are more like the bailiffs in regular court - here are their duties. They really have no investigative function.

Yes, it does sound like Roberts is desperately trying to bury this crime, and, after a brief period, declare that it's just a mystery who might have been responsible for it (cough, cough - Sotomayor, and/or her staff).

But, the Left will (once again) issue their 'Not Proven' defence to allegations of Leftist guilt for the crime. We get it. If you:

• Refuse to investigate
• Denigrate all witnesses as being partisan liars
• Stall on pressing charges
• Leak any evidence to the media, along with talking points that downplay its validity/importance
• If witnesses show signs of being inconveniently insistent on testifying
  
• "Subtly" inform them they are being watched
• Send photos of their children to their home, with the unspoken threat that Bad Things Just MAY Happen to Them
• Start a campaign to get the breadwinner(s) fired, and un-hireable in future jobs
• There is always the classic Dead Cat on the Doorstep tactic
• If all else fails, the perp should develop an inconvenient memory of the act, plead pyschiatric vulnerability, and throw down the Race/Sex Card. At that point, with a "I don't really remember doing it, but I will take responsibility" deal and a cooperative prosecutor and a compliant judge, it will all disappear.

All that gives their Spin Doctors room to claim a Vast Right-Wing/Nazi/Fascist Conspiracy is working against them, fabricating crimes, and making a BFD out of Absolutely Nothing.

And, they will walk away, no jail time or icky felony conviction, secure in the knowledge that the scheme worked.

And, BTW, still sniffling that WOMYN are being denied on of the Basic Human Rights!!!

[Forgive the exclamation points and CAPS - there really is no other way to convey the hysterical, over-the-top screaming of the Left's Womyn]

Why is Inflation Increasing So Fast?

I mean, OTHER than the EVIL Capitalists taking advantage of the Downtrodden Masses.

I'm kidding. The inflationary pressure starts with government spending and increasing the money supply. That leads to prices rising, which leads to calls for wage increases, which leads to prices rising higher...

Other than the government over-spending, which happens because they want to use money forced from taxpayers to buy votes for their lame candidates, the cycle is one that, once set in motion, can only be stopped by very painful choices.

Like reducing government spending. And, cutting government jobs. And, cutting government services. The last two are necessary, should you want to reduce spending.

The answer is not to impose another tax. The bare majority, who pay the taxes, don't have it. And, the mega-rich are strange - they use their money and power over government officials to make sure that any tax increases don't affect THEIR money.

Huh.

Wonder why that happens? You would THINK that, given how much the mega-rich exhort all of the taxpayers to "pay their fair share", they would be thrilled to open their own wallets.

But, no. for some strange reason, they don't think it necessary to add their own dollars to the effort.

Anyway, check out the above link for a very nice explanation of the inflation cycle, and how it affect me and you.

Why People Continue to Post Disinfo

Despite all your efforts, your "Gentle Suggestions" that - perhaps - they might want to check their 'facts' before posting, and the reality that 'those people' - those poor, deluded, simple people who have clearly come under the sway of Trump and all those other Nazis (it's really a pity how other people - perhaps not as smart as you - fall for the propaganda and misinformation).

But you persevere. You ask them to cite their sources. Of course, THEIR sources, even if official government sources, cannot be accepted. You return the posting of those links with a dismissive wave, refusing to actually LOOK at them. If they aren't one of the Big Media pundits, they simply Do Not Count.

I've tried to find sources that the Left will accept - Washington Post? New York Times? Science periodicals? Wall Street Journal? Local, generally respected  newspapers?

ALL have been rejected.

I mean, even the freakin' New York Times has admitted that the whole story of Russian interference in the 2020 election was completely made up. BTW, the link is to Legal Insurrection, a blog written by some law professors. The NYT article admitting that the Biden laptop was not 'hacked' and is authentic, is behind a paywall. Because of that, many of the skeptics will roll their eyes and refuse to accept that, yes, the NYT DID admit their shoddy, and partisan, reporting.

But, the I'm-Smarter-and-less-inclined-to-believe-in-propaganda-than-you crowd depends on the FB Official Boxed Leftist-Message-Supporting Blockage of Dissent to sooth their nerves. God Forbid that they have to actually investigate the official stories! So much easier to pass along the smarmy memes from the DNC, Hillary-Clinton-Diehards, and Progressives-4Eva Meme Machines.

Here was the original graphic that prompted this:

Now, am I suggesting that EVERY one of the invaders is a fake? No. But, a sizable percentage of them are. And, the fact that they arrive, not bedraggled, toting food and blankets, extra clothes, and other items that would be reasonable for travelers, but daisy fresh and sporting fresh-from-the-box shirts with Progressive slogans - well, it just doesn't seem to be an organice occurrence.

Heck, when I have to get a family trip together, I'm a lot less organized. My kids are drooping, I'm walking like I can't take another step, and I am surrounded by the detritus of my journey.

I also don't CONVENIENTLY arrive sans ID, passport, or proof that I am who I claim to be. The word has apparently passed - ditch all ID, and the dummies at the US border will HAVE to admit you. If they question you, act indignant and accuse them of discrimination against People of Color!

So, what is the defining response to my post?

With the comment "My job is done".

Well, no, it's not. All you have 'proven' is that the Scolds on FB will reject any opposition to their Way of Life.

That's not a real response.

So, why do I continue to post?

Because some of the memes are just funny. They point out that the Left's Official Message is illogical, not based on evidence, and likely with an underlying agenda.

Some of them allow me to express my frustration with the Officially Acceptable State of the Union. That the concerns of Americans are brushed off as Racism, Homophobia, Propaganda, Fascism, Sexism, ad infinitum. For people who complain that their ideological enemies engage in mindless regurgitation of pre-digested mis-info, they sure do seem to have the market on that cornered.

Some are pithy reminders that, no, all do NOT accept the characterization of aggressive recruitment of minors into the "I'm REALLY a Girl!" Magical Transformation Cult. The people who are at risk are KIDS. They are being encouraged to take life-altering steps before society permits them to:

• Pierce their ears or get a permanent tatoo
• Take responsibility for their actions as an adult
• Drive
• Vote

The same people who don't think kids that age should be responsible for raising a kid, have no issue with medically tampering with the genotalia that make the process possible.

If kids are "transitioned" too early, they may lose any capability of having adult sex - their genitals will be too small and malformed to allow them to fully participate in sexual activity.

They will be sterilized.

They will be short (I'm short, and it's no picnic. Aside from the inconvenience of needing stepstools, diminuitive people are at high risk of bone fractures, osteoporosis, and other problems). For those female and planning to "become" men, the societal prejudice against short people is high. No amount of hormonal additions will change their stature.

This will all come at a high medical and emotional cost.

The "Glee Thing" Explained

Gotta say, I never watched the show. Oh, occasionally, I would wander into a room with someone geeking out at an episode. I didn't really see the attraction of overly dramatic teens spazzing out on the show's exploration of extracurricular activities, and insisting that This Had DEEP Meaning for Western Civilization, and The Future of The Entire World.

Whatevs.

Here's a piece on the phenomenom, which also leaves me saying - So What?

How - Convenient

The camera near the NYC subway shooter's attack was not working - a computer 'glitch'.

How - convenient.

It's gettin' so if a Liberal/Progressive/Leftist/Government official told me the sun would rise tomorrow morning, I'd be disinclined to believe it.

ONE Explanation for the Differences in Accumulated Wealth

Minorities skew young.

White people have far more members of the group that reach the middle-to-elder years. They bring up the average income - by quite a lot.

Here's the graphic.

Now, look at the rise, for Blacks and Multiracials, in the Millennial years. If there is not a drop-off in population (in other words, an unusual rise in deaths), the expected increase in wealth as the general population ages may have a chance to change the future of non-Whites in this country (that's assuming that most Non-Whites will follow the normal pattern of engaging in more sedate, non-criminal, and economically productive behavior as they age.

Miscellaneous News and Topics

This is getting to be a "thing" on this blog. I find a lot of loosely connected, or even unconnected stories, and put them all into a single info dump. It seems to work for me.

First, an essay on the state of the Ukraine-Russia War; it does point out the biggest problem with keeping old guys in power - they tend to return to outdated thinking.

I've been reading The Z-Man for some time, sporadically. His thinking, in this case, seems to make some sense. That it is not widely supported by the Official News Media is a positive point - their POV and mindset is hopelessly outdated, biased, and driven by partisan hacks.

His previous post, on the crisis posed by the continued propping up of an incompetent, and probably mentally deficient, *resident, is one that needs to be read, and shared - on social media, email, and face-to-face. That would also include the tried and true method of printing out a copy or two of the post, and leaving it on tables in public places, or attaching it to bulletin boards around town. Sneaker-net still works, you know, and is harder to stop. Old-school rebellion toppelled many a dictatorship.

Another means for bringing down the oppressive regime is, again, old-school, yet has the advantage of also serving as a way of identifying and enabling the work of allies.

By this, I mean, sowing disruption among the Woke. Pass on the word to a non-allied person that you've heard, from someone that you cannot name, that a certain Woke person is the victim of a campaign to get rid of 'them'. From the reaction (gleeful, horrified, skeptical, whatever), you can decide whether to confide in them further, or to downplay the info as "probably fake news". Get to be known as the guy who just happens to hear things from other people. This keeps you from being the person who is the source. It's important that BOTH sides have some trust in your gossip.

Be warned - this is a LONG-term project. It is not without some danger, but less than sitting on the sidelines, and pretending that you aren't surrounded by your enemies.

This is the method used by the Woke; there is no reason that we cannot turn it upon them. Look to their tactics, copy them, and use them.

• Pre-emptive strike - this is one that makes a BIG deal out of a very small offense. It works best if you can frame it as a strike against you for classist reasons. Loudly proclaim your low-born heritage, accusing them of acting against an individual from an impoverished background, family substance abuse, connection (however distant) from one of the identified groups, and pointing out their Elite background. Don't make this your initial attack, but gradually build your story, bolstering it with DNA discoveries (just about EVERY family has some connection to other ethnicities, disreputable ancestors, or poverty/oppression). Make sure others are aware of this, and have THEM bring up the connections, should you face opposition.
• Fake sympathy - this is a classic tactic. Undermine someone by pointing out their weaknesses - gambling, chemical/alcohol abuse, mental instability (of the kind that might prove them a poor ally). For men, subtly ask some questions that would lead the listeners to conclude that there is a lurking problem with 'handsiness'. Poo-poo the possibility, in exaggerated terms, leading those listeners to wonder whether there is some truth to it.
• Be the one that just 'happens' to pass on catty gossip about someone they are in competition with. This is the classic "divide and conquer" maneuver.
