The absolute unconquerable ignorance of those who would rule over us is an evergreen source of dark amusement. Behold the 2014-vintage performance of one Kevin De Leon, politician extraordinaire.
An Oscar award for the cop in the background. Managed to act like he wasn’t in the presence of a world-class ass.
And let us not forget intellectual vacuum collapse Sheila Jackson Lee, who reminds us that an AR-15 weighs as much as ten boxes and fires 50 caliber bullets:
Oy.
It’s well known that the incoming administration wants to ban standard capacity magazines for the Little People. But it seems they’re getting a jump on that by making sure that the National Guard is issued Zero Capacity Magazines:
Today, it was my honor to join @chefjoseandres and @WCKitchen to provide meals to our heroic National Guard troops who are keeping our Congressional community safe during this difficult time. pic.twitter.com/aqJ1JEwumA

Of course, it may be that disarming the National Guard troops is due to the new administration not actually trusting the troops. Which should do wonders for morale and unit cohesion:
A movie being released by a conservative outlet, telling a conservative message? Color me stunned that Our Betters hate what the public likes.
This kinda says it all:
Seems we’re running headlong into the Crazy Years. What with the very worst people in the last hundred years of US history getting ready to take over the Senate and White House, after having already taken over the House, Media and universities, we’re likely due for some extreme unpleasantness. The incoming administration is promising to turn seventy million or more Americans into overnight felons and the Big Tech companies going overtime into making sure that the conversation is distinctly one-sided, it’s understandable that a lot of people have a lot of things to say. Some of it rather uncomplimentary about those on the totalitarian side of the aisle… and sometimes what people say slips over into expression of threats of violence.
We may have ourselves an honest to Odin civil war on our hands before long. Up until recently I’ve thought that such a thing was the stuff of fever dreams… but here we are. And while a civil war might be inevitable, it would be *bad.* I know there are some deluded fools actually salivating over the prospect, but the only people who would benefit from another American civil war are our enemies. No good will come of it.
So: I invite everyone to refer back to the old blog post “How To Get Banned,” from waaaay back in 2010. The very first way of getting banned? Issuing threats of violence in the comments. Threatening people does no good; all it will do is get the authorities to notice you, and I’m sorry, any government types who are drooling over the opportunity to kick in a million doors and arrest and imprison more people that the Soviet gulag system ever dreamed of will *not* be intimidated by an angry comment. What will happen, though, is that such comments will be used to claim “terms of service” violations for my little website.
Yes, Twitter and Facebook and the like do not seem to give a damn if leftwing extremists, jihadis, ChiComs and other people who wish America ill use their platforms for threats of violence. But Big Tech *does* go after those of us in the counter culture. The hypocrisy is breathtaking, but the fact is that for the moment rational people have to realize that we’re living in a system with different rules for different people.
So… dream up all the fantasies and strategems you like. Plan. Stock up. Prepare. Just… don’t post incitements to violence or criminality here. I will delete those when I see ’em, and start banning those who repeatedly violate. As far as I know, such posts could well be false flags intended to harm the blog and my business. Paranoid? Sure. But these are the times in which we live.
And I am about on my last nerve with the trolls. Feel free to disagree, debate, argue. But those who act the jackass, whose arguments start with insults? Feh.
He gave an interview on Fox News. Note the artwork.
Saw a tweet that says that he’s just renting the place. OK, sure. Now imagine someone on the right rented a place with Hitler on the wall.
News media, House, Senate, White House, universities, social media platforms, internet infrastructure, most HR departments. Soon banking and payment processing.
The domestic terrorists in Antifa are trying to end the First Amendment. They are trying to prevent you from buying books they don’t like. they want to control the debate to control speech and control thought. Compare them to the group of larpers who went to the Capital, wandered around for a little bit, took a bunch of selfies and didn’t set fire to *anything.*
Feel free to stick it to Antifa and buy what they don’t want you to buy (it *really* wouldn’t bother me if ya bought it – or anything else – through the following link, since I’d score a pittance of a commission in the process):
So the House voted to impeach Trump. Again.
Meh.
I *tried* to listen to the speeches in the House today. I really did. But the histrionics, the hyperbole, the outright whackjob insanity of some of those overpowered goons squealing about “hundreds of domestic terrorists” was just too damn much.
Feh.
Anyway, on to other matters. Here is a useful chart (from an apparently legit mental health organization) to tell if you are in an abusive relationship. Any similarity to an authoritarian government or an ideological media near you is entirely coincidental. It’s available in a high-rez PDF form, perfect for printing off poster size and hanging up at your place of employment. Or your nearest government office, if you are insurrectionist enough to get within touching distance of such a place.
… showing the unruly, *terrifying* Domestic Terrorist Armed Insurrectionists Storming through the Capitol building. Just watch this, especially with the wise words of Our Betters in the media describing the truly horrific sight of people calmly walking between the ropes, and *brazenly,* *wantonly* and *fascistically* waving the US flag while in a US government building. The horror!
“See stunning video of rioters inside Capitol”
Sigh.
Once more, for those too dense to figure it out: yes, anyone who broke stuff or hurt/killed people needs to have the full force of law dropped on them. But once again I defy you to compare and contrast what we see and hear here, with masses of people who seem utterly uninterested in causing damage – and it’s not like they couldn’t have, had they wanted to – with the tens of thousands who swarmed our cities all this year burning cop cars and businesses, vandalizing memorials and pulling down statues. *THOSE* people were proclaimed as everything form someone with a valid point, to outright heroes. The folks in D.C.? they got the full Sandmann treatment.
I challenge you to imagine what this place would have looked like if these Dangerous Trumpists had had the same respect for law, order, history, property that your average Mostly Peaceful Protester had. I see a looooooooot of statues there that Antifa/BLM would have loved to have toppled.
