The Trump campaign published their second term agenda. It is pretty much a list of what you’d expect… generic reasonable aspirations and talking point, few of which are even remotely controversial. Behold:

Trump Campaign Announces President Trump’s 2nd Term Agenda: Fighting for You!

The agenda says this about the space program:

Launch Space Force, Establish Permanent Manned Presence on The Moon and Send the First Manned Mission to Mars

Which is frankly not a whole hell of a lot. Of course, this being 2020, “not even remotely controversial” results in “I’ll take that challenge” from the usual crowd. Behold an entire opinion piece written to decry those few words about the moon:

Trump Wants a Moonbase

In case you’re wondering about the quality of the piece and it’s author and don;t wish to give them clicks, here’s a summary:

Last night, Trump released his second term agenda, incredibly specific guidelines for xenophobic totalitarian rule sprinkled with pipe dreams. Among the former is the usual parade of fascistic talking points: “teach American exceptionalism,” prosecute the “violent extremist” group antifa, deport “non-citizen gang members,” hold China “accountable” for covid-19, eliminate sanctuary cities. The latter variety is contrasted with such gems as “return to normal in 2021” and establish a “permanent” “manned presence” on the moon.

A base. On the moon. A moonbase, if you will.

Uh-huh. Note what the author considers fascism: enforcing laws against rioting and arson and assault and murder and illegal immigration. More specific to determining the value of the author:

he somehow bloated the military with a Space Force, in spite of the total absence of warfare in space currently.

Huh. There’s no war in space *now,* so there’s no need to plan for it.

GENIUS!

But even more… are we sure there’s no war in space right now? Are we absolutely certain?

Bah. Journalism is dead.

In the movies, when there is some sort of disaster the National Guard comes out and says that anyone caught looting is subject to being shot. This is a bit of dramatic license; that’s not legal under current laws.

Trump would likely guarantee a 50-state sweep if he *did* make it legal. The video below shows just what’s going on… an71-year-old feller has his business (a mattress shop) set on fire by Mostly Peaceful Protestors, and when he tries to interfere, they try to murder him.

This appears to be a GoFundMe to help the guy with medical expenses… and to relocate.

Difficult to argue that we’re not now in a civil war. The last time the lines were more or less geographical. This time, it’s ideological, with far leftists vs. everybody else. Right now, the American public is still not involved with putting this insurrection down, hoping that it will simply blow over. But with every day that it’s allowed to fester and burn, the likelihood that it will stop declines. At some point, it will become sufficiently self-sustaining that the only way it’ll end will be full-blown combat. Fortunately… it seems that the combat forces of the bad guys here are not exactly the sharpest tools in the shed:

Ye gods…

Portland Mayor Candidate Sarah Iannarone is a Democratic Socialist, like AOC. And like AOC, she’s off her friggen’ nut. She either thinks arson is awesome or is pandering to the arsonist constituency.

I have little sympathy for Portland at this point. I checked out the Wikipedia page on the 2020 Portland mayoral election coming in November. There has already been a first round; Democrat ted Wheeler, who has steered his city into this trainwreck, got 49% of the vote, and Iannarone came in second with 23.8%. The lone Republican came in *fifth* with 5%. So the runoff election will be between the existing failure Wheeler and the forthcoming uber-failure Iannarone.

People of Portland: this is the doom you chose.

Proposed by Bernie Sanders, this hideous bit of legislation is aimed at destroying Blue Origin and SpaceX:

Sen. Sanders proposes one-time tax that would cost Bezos $42.8 billion, Musk $27.5 billion

The “Make Billionaires Pay Act” would impose a one-time 60% tax on wealth gains made by billionaires between March 18, 2020, and Jan. 1, 2021.

It’s supposedly a “one time tax.” There is no such thing as a “one time tax.” When it comes to government, especially governments that, as Sanders would prefer, exist via theft, there’s no such thing as one-time anything.

Here’s how much some would pay under the bill due to wealth gains between March 18 and Aug. 5, according to a release accompanying the bill:

    • Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos would pay a one-time wealth tax of $42.8 billion.
    • Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk would pay a one-time wealth tax of $27.5 billion.

 

The Commies, long since thought to have been relegated to the dustbin of history, are back with a vengeance. Some are burning down cities. Some are assaulting random civilians. And some are using their government positions to tear it all down.

Two stories with very different subjects, end up telling the same tale:

Worm Joke Causes Science Twitter Flame War Over Accusations of Sexism and Racism

and

The Mandalorian Star Gina Carano Accused of Racism for Sharing Historical Anti-Nazi Photo

Both basically boil down to: “The Woke are a bunch of humorless idiots who are so obsessed with finding things to be outraged by that they will happily beclown themselves. Mock them at every opportunity.”

Nearly 2/3 of voters say progressive activists will respond with violence if Trump wins reelection

Plus…

Nearly Half Of Young Americans Say It’s Okay To Fire People Who Support Trump

Forty-four percent of Americans younger than age 30 believe a company is correct in firing an executive because he or she personally donated to President Trump’s reelection campaign.

Which links to:

62% of Americans Say They Have Political Views They’re Afraid to Share

Nearly a third (32%) of employed Americans say they personally are worried about missing out on career opportunities or losing their job if their political opinions became known.

Imagine that. If 40% of Millenials and GenZers think it’s a great idea to fire people for being pro-Trump, it should hardly come as a surprise that a third of the public is afraid for their jobs.

We are most likely in the early stages of the Crazy Years.

So, one of the Peaceful Protestors (TM) in Austin, Texas, decided to go to the local peaceful protest (TM) with an AK-47. This is perfectly acceptable, especially in Texas. But guess what: he got himself shot dead. How did this happen? Well… he decided that it would be a neato-keen idea to not only point said AK-47 at a car, but to fire around five shots into it. The driver of the car took umbrage at that and shot back and proved to have superior aiming capability.

So once again another victim of leftist violence and the George Floyd Riots… but at least the victim wasn’t an innocent bystander or shop owner, but one of the actual villains of the story.

A Photo Shows The BLM Rioter Who Was Shot To Dead Last Night In Texas As He Point His AK-47 At The Driver

And nothing of value was lost.

 

One might, if one was ridiculous enough, argue about whether the driver of the car was wrong to drive towards the protest. But if one was wiser, one would realize that the car was on the *road* not the sidewalk. That’s what roads are *for.*

Ever since the feds actually started arresting a tiny fraction of the violent rioters tearing apart cities like Portland, the riot-enablers have started screeching that *this* is the fascist government that gun-nuts have been paranoid about, and that they should charge into the cities to stand side-by-side with the Marxists and black supremacists.  This view has even appeared on this blog in the comments section.

Here is a good response to that view, written a month and a half ago:

Where are all you gun owners now?

It’s a somewhat lengthy rant, but it boils down to:

Snort. ᚠᚢᚳk off. 😃

The two main points are:

1) The people whining about the lack of gun enthusiasts coming to their aid are the same ones who have spent their lives whining about the *existence* of gun enthusiasts.

2) Who started this? Wasn’t the gun enthusiasts, but the gun grabbers.

The rioters are using kinetic energy weapons, beam weapons and chemical combustion weapons in an effort to cause damage, injuries and death. A lot of this is aimed at local businesses and local government; the local governments should therefore send in the police and National Guard to quell the insurrections. But in some cases, such as Portland, they’re not. The reasons for this are utterly baffling given that the insurrection would happily behead the local government officials who are protecting and enabling them. But the same Marxist motherᚠᚢᚳkers are also using the same tactics and weapons against *Federal* sites. The United States has seen this before… an insurrection of criminals and villains trying to take down a Federal facility. One time that site was called “Fort Sumter,” and the end result wasn’t so good for the insurrectionists or their cause, and few rational people argue that the Feds were wrong to respond.

So, rather than an army of gun enthusiasts marching into Portland to stand should to shoulder with the same ill-bred, ill-educated ill-thinking morons who have spent generations mocking them, the gun enthusiasts should stand on the sidewalks and wave little American flags as todays General Sherman marches into Portland and lays a beatdown on the Rebs.

For todays average American “right winger,” “conservative,” “libertarian,” etc., privately owned firearms are there generally for the purpose of protecting against criminality. For the far left, though, firearms (and other weapons) are there for the purpose of *enabling* criminality. These are not compatible world views.

On the one hand:

Awww, ain’t that nice. These moms care so much about insurrectionists trying to burn down buildings with people in them and succeeding in intentionally causing permanent blindness among federal employees that they’re willing to come out in force to protect the criminal element from the nasty police who would stop the vandalism, arson and murders. But you know who they are *not* protecting? Children. Often enough, their own children.

Black Lives Matter supporter seen kneeling on white baby’s neck in viral photo jailed, awaits charges

Posted by Vincent James on Tuesday, July 21, 2020

What we have here is one Isaiah Jackson. Six foot two, 175 pounds, and kneeling on the neck of a restrained, terrified two-year-old, in a photo posted with the caption “Blm now mf.” Mr. Jackson is *not* the father of the child… but he is the childs mothers boyfriend. The mother, not the owner of the arm seen restraining the child, defended her winner of a boyfriends actions. The father now has custody of the child, and the boyfriend is in jail on unrelated charges.

One *might* argue that the mother was uninvolved in the incident and thus is not culpable. But Mr. Jackson here is not some random stranger who abducted her child… he’s her boyfriend, of her own free choice. And he has an extensive criminal record:

This is the man the mother entrusted with the care of her child. She had to know what manner of man he was, what his morals and ethics were like, what his politics were, how racist he was… and she left her child with him.

Lest you think that this is just one random scumbag, remember that a second adult participated in this by restraining the child, and probably a third by holding the camera. But wait! There’s more!

Special Ed Teacher Praises Man For Kneeling On White Baby’s Neck, Encourages Him To Kill the Baby

That’s Brian Papin, a *teacher* at Cedar Grove High School in Atlanta, Georgia. I do believe that that school has received a *lot* of unsolicited opinions regarding their current employment roster. Their Facebook page has a *lot* of comments on it…

Brian Papin is hardly likely to be alone in think that that photo not only is good and proper, but perhaps doesn’t go far enough. We are heading into some interesting times.

This is the kind of “mom” who would intentionally drag her unborn child into the firing line of rubber bullets, tear gas and Molotov cocktails in order to protect the scum of the Earth from the law.

George Orwell came close: “If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – forever.”

 

One wonders how much of this the kid will remember, and whether he’ll be confronted with this photo as he grows up. And as a result, what his views of the world and the people in it will be.

Hmmm.

Watch: Antifa Torch Portland Police Association, Break Into Federal Property, Threaten Police

For a group that doesn’t exist, Antifa is doing a dandy job of making the case *for* fascistic policing systems. Because what’s really needed here are some of the fictional technologies employed by the Judges in the universe of the Judge Dredd comic book. In particular: “riot foam.” Sprays out like fire-fighting foam, but within seconds sets up into a rock-hard solid that traps rioters in place. Somehow or other it’s “breathable” so that those trapped don’t suffocate. You then chip out rioters one at a time and process them.

Given that the insurrectionists here are using deadly weapons (thrown rocks, Molotov cocktails, clubs, etc.) as well as using green lasers for the purpose of causing permanent and irreversible retina damage, locking them up in riot foam for a few days while they are processed and sentenced to ten to twenty years in the FedPen, followed by deportation to their masters in China/Russia/wherever, seems like a good approach.

Antifa, like the Democratic People’s Republic of (North) Korea, is not only a fascist movement, they are actively agitating *for* fascism. When they gain power, such as in the CHAZ, they promptly set up authoritarian systems largely indistinguishable from fascist systems; and they have intentionally worked to make police-state tactics the *only* tactics to use against them. In places like Portland where Antifa has running dog lackeys and useful idiots in the local government who have held back the local police, Antifa and their Burn Loot Murder accomplices have simply run wild. Being nice to them, letting them have their way, has not worked.

Police state systems are never nice things to have and are generally to be avoided. Unfortunately they are sometimes necessary. Using them here is sadly becoming inevitable. The trick, of course, will be in reigning in the police state tactics after the insurrectionists are removed from society. Sadly, there isn’t much alternative, given that Antifa and their ilk are trying to  burn civilization to the ground across the western world. They are traitors to mankind, and such people have never been well managed by rational discourse and reasoned debate. Some of them, perhaps even most of them, could be deprogrammed by those skilled in the art of extracting young idiots from cultish ideologies… but before you can remove someones cult thinking, you have to physically remove them from the cult.
