Are we really free?

Paul Craig Roberts: ‘It is no longer correct to refer to any Western government as democratic: Every Western government is a budding tyranny’

Paul Craig Roberts is the esteemed chairman of the Institute for Political Economy, an economist, educator and former assistant secretary of the Treasury under President Ronald Reagan. He authored an essay on October 30, 2023, in which he declared it’s is no longer correct to refer to the Western nations as “free.”

/snip

My question is, why do the bulk of Americans, Canadians, Brits, Germans, Frenchmen, Italians and Australians still believe they are free? Are they so influenced by their educational indoctrination, their pampered upbringing and the media gaslighting that they have lost touch with reality?

Do they perhaps know they are not free but just don’t care, having long since been stripped of any ability to feel the joys of freedom by the nihilistic nature of today’s society?

Maybe they, as Aldous Huxley suggested, have learned to enjoy their enslavement in the modern technocratic society, where there are plenty of bread and circuses to keep their minds off the unpleasant nature of their existence.

/snip

Yes, we at least still have the 2nd Amendment in America and that is a good thing. But how real is the freedom to “keep and bear arms” when the ATF is constantly looking for sneaky new ways to water down that freedom by creating “rules” out of thin air? These rules usually get challenged in court, then take years to wind through the legal system (the ban on pistol braces is a good example of this).

In the meantime, states are banning all sorts of weapons that were previously allowed. The state of Illinois recently banned an assortment of semi-automatic rifles. The very fact that I have to use the word “allowed,” shows you the 2nd Amendment is largely a fiction, not a reality….

//snip

It sounds ridiculous to say, but it is a fact:  the era of freedom in the West is over.  The false flag attack, 9/11, was used to launch the neoconseratives’ wars in Israel’s behalf in the Middle East.  More importantly, fear of “Muslim terrorists” was used to set aside constitutional protections such as habeas corpus and due process and to implement other inroads into  liberty such as the Patriot Act and the mass warrantless NSA spying on US citizens.  Today you can be arrested in Germany, France, and the UK for waving a Palestinian flag.  In the US the exercise of free speech gets you cancelled and fired.  Only approved opinions can be safely stated.  The facts simply do not matter.  Official narratives have triumphed over truth.

/snip

In the US it is not only Democrats calling for more censorship and suppression of the First Amendment.  … The Democrat Left and Republican Right now agree that free speech needs to be reined in, that it can make people uncomfortable, feel threatened, and spread misinformation by departing from official explanations. ….

The current restrictions on the First Amendment began with “political correctness” in the universities. …

The orchestrated Covid pandemic brought national censorship.  The Covid narrative could not be challenged,… The facts did not matter.  Inexpensive preventatives and cures–Ivermectin and HCQ–were prohibited from being used.  Consequently, Big Pharma made billions of dollars from a “vaccine” that did not prevent Covid …

Dr. Reiner Fuellmich, the distinguished German human rights activist, has led a large group of medical scientists and attorneys for several years preparing a lawsuit in behalf of the millions of people who died or were injured as a result of the Covid “vaccine.” …

Efforts to discredit and to silence Dr Fuellmich were soon underway. A judge convicted him last May of insulting people and ordered  him to pay a large sum that was reduced to 2,100 euros.  Thus, the German court established the principle that free speech can be insulting and punished.

While traveling with his wife in Mexico, their passports were lost or stolen.  … Fuellmich was kidnapped by the German government and flown to Germany and imprisoned.  …

But Western governments are no longer accountable and can bring all the fraudulent indictments that they wish even against the President of the United States.  The purpose of this one seems to be to discredit Fuellmich and prevent his lawsuit from going forward….

    Me? I’m out-standing in my field. 😀

    Been up since 4, not used to the new time yet but haven’t dropped in to see what’s going on. Apparently nothing but that’ll change. It sure is a pretty day here, expected to hit the low 80’s so I’m going to get a lot done this week before it gets colder for the season.

    Me? I’m out-standing in my field.

    Every time I hear that joke, I’m reminded of a joke my dad told me:

    Once upon a time, there was a wheat farmer who was bringing in a bumper crop.  He was happy and quite content with life: his house was paid off, he had a beautiful wife and two wonderful kids, and life was good.

    Then, things started to go wrong.  His wife ran off with the milk man, his kids joined a commune, and his house burned down.  The farmer, standing in the middle of his bountiful field of wheat, told himself  as he surveyed the golden heads swaying in the breeze: “This is all I have left. If I can just bring in this crop, I’ll have enough money to start over.”

    As he stood in his field, the sky darkened, the wind began whipping the wheat furiously, then the rain began to fall in torrents.  The farmer crouched down as the hail began – a vicious storm that beat the wheat into the ground.  Finally, the storm relented, though the wind still blew, the clouds still darkened the sky, and the lightning and thunder danced overhead.

    The farmer turned, his body bruised and bleeding, his clothes torn, and surveyed his destroyed field.  Raising his hands and face to the sky, his cried out in his despair. “Why, Lord?  Why me?  Why this?  Why now?”

    As he stood there, trying to contemplate his loss, the wind died down.  The sky quietened, and small shaft of sunlight fell upon the poor distraught farmer.  The farmer looked up in hope as a low, booming voice rolled across the field: “I don’t know, son, just something about you wisses me off!”

    Is anyone besides me concerned with all the Antisemitism being bred on college campuses? I can’t say I’m surprised it exists but I am a little surprised at the magnitude of it and the flagrant ignoring of Hamas’ role in the genocide of the Jewish people.

    Time for the C&C:

    ONE YEAR ☙ Monday, November 6, 2023 ☙ C&C NEWS

    Good morning C&C, it’s Monday! Welcome to a brand-new week, bursting with possibility. The provocative pace of current events is picking up steam as we head into core election season. In today’s roundup: the Establishment Media’s ‘Pre-Election Day Massacre’ yesterday as Team Biden took hit after hit; Politico launches Biden Bribery torpedo directly at President Peters’ campaign; a New York Times hit job described Biden’s across-the-board failures; where in the world is Gavin Newsom?; the rest of Establishment Media jumps on the dump-Biden pig-pile; Where in the World is Antony Blinken and what is that man up to?; and the very best sign we’ve had yet showing the massive medical freedom pendulum crashing back toward sanity.

    News:

    Damar Hamlin is not playing, again.  “Flu symptoms,” the coach said.  Getting butt splinters from riding the bench, it seems.

    Next up:  The Politico – THE POLITICO – is running a hit piece on Biden’s corruption.

    /checking the weather report for Hell, to see if it’s cold enough to freeze over/

    The story was a big deal for Politico — a rare, ranging, long-form, magazine-style piece including dramatic non-stock photos, infographics, and custom artwork. Politico took its time recapping all the fundamentals of the Biden corruption story, slowly and carefully walking its audience through the unfamiliar details, and even slipping in a few brand-new arguments of its own.

    Politico was not saying Joe Biden is corrupt. It was just saying.

    Politico shot down the meat puppet’s mantra of “not being involved in my son’s deals,” using the Laptop from Hell (LFH) emails.  Bidet, of course, has been denying as well he can, trying to leave weasel clauses in his statements and such.

    It’s embarrassing that oligarchical Ukrainian thugs are more polite and use better-formed English than the chief executive’s own children. Hunter usually emails in all-caps and normally forgets to use punctuation. But I digress.

    /snip

    In other words, Politico volunteered its own internal, behind-the-scenes communications to help pile on the narrative that Biden and his whole crooked White House team are liars.

    That seems pretty remarkable.

    Politico’s extended-form article seemed like a solid reply to hapless, low-information democrat voters relying on Biden’s current stupid excuse, yeah, yeah, but they never proved Joe did anything wrong and Hunter’s not running for president.

    /snip

    Later, the article reversed itself, and give several examples of exactly such evidence, although labeled as “uncorroborated” and other words like that, to help the red pills go down easier. Here was Politico’s first example of direct evidence of Biden corruption:

    The (FBI’s) informant claimed that Burisma’s owner said privately that he was pressured by Joe and Hunter Biden into bribing them for help resolving Burisma’s legal issues, including Shokin’s firing. The informant first mentioned Hunter Biden’s role with Burisma in a 2017 conversation with the FBI, according to an agency form recording his allegations, which was obtained by congressional Republicans and made public in July. The bureau re-interviewed the informant, whose identity remains secret, in 2020, after the Trump Justice Department began scrutinizing claims about Shokin’s ouster.

    Then, Politico outlined the timeline of crawdadding from the LFH, and the fact that thousands of those LFH emails had been verified.  By media sources.  And topped it off with the lawsuit from Hunter that the computer shop owner had violated his privacy by disclosing Hunter’s LFH’s contents.

    The lawsuit made the point that it was, indeed, Hunter’s laptop.  Idiots.

    Next up was Tony Bobulinski, another long-overlooked former Hunter business partner (overlooked by Establishment Media). In what constitutes even more “evidence” — at least by any legal definition of the word “evidence” — Bobulinski testified under oath and to the FBI that he personally had discussed Hunter’s Chinese business ventures with Joe Biden. For its readers’ benefit, Politico carefully noted that Bobulinski has always made political donations to democrats.

    And Bobulinski has never been accused of lying to the FBI.

    Well my goodness. At this point in the article, democrat readers with any remaining capacity for independent thought must have been wondering, what exactly is the standard for “no evidence”?

    And this is why the story in Politico is so important (emphasis mine):

    Conservative media is mainly designed to provide its readers with information. But liberal media is designed to give its readers permission to think certain thoughts. It’s not so much that the Politico article was informing democrats about certain uncomfortable Biden facts for the first time, although that is certainly true.

    The article was more significant because it signaled to democrats that now acceptable to talk about Biden lying and about his being mixed up with all these sketchy characters.

    /snip

    Do you think it was coincidental this carefully-written article published exactly one year before the election?

    Why no, no I don’t.

    #2 SD:  What really astounds me is that any Jew would vote D?!?  Why can’t the average Jew see that leftism and antisemitism go hand in glove now and always has?  Remember that the NAZIs were National Socialists.  Now that the fig leaf has been torn away from the ugly region, that the D party stands for Jew hate and the destruction of Israel, what will the bulk of American Jewery do?

    I think the big issue goes to 2Thessalonians2 where it speaks of those without a love for the truth believing the lie.

    Add to the Political story, the NYT issued a poll that should scare the pee outta Dems for Biden: Trump leads in 5 critical states and voters are really, really not happy with the meat puppet.  (I wonder what Obama’s thinking right now…looking for his next proxy?)

    That already sounded bad for Biden, but believe me, the New York Times wasn’t even getting warmed up yet. It continued by blowing its ‘racist!’ dog whistle on Biden in the article’s sub-headline: “Voters in battleground states said they trusted Donald J. Trump over President Biden on the economy, foreign policy and immigration, as Mr. Biden’s multiracial base shows signs of fraying.” [insert chart]

    In other words, diverse people don’t like Biden. The combined Times-Politico attack was a brutal one-two sucker punch. What the Times is really telling its readers was Biden is a loser. And the one thing democrats hate even worse than Republicans is a loser:

    /snip

    …The Times’ article was not short. It was one damned thing after another: Joe’s age problem, his lack of mental acuity, voters’s lack of trust in Biden on literally ever single issue, and on top of all that, snarky comments like this one:

    The findings come after … the president continues to tour the country to brag about the state of the economy. “Folks, Bidenomics is just another way of saying the American dream!” Mr. Biden declared on Wednesday on a trip to Minnesota.
    Voters clearly disagree. Only 2 percent of voters said the economy was excellent.

    Then there are real life stories of hard core Dems now willing to vote for Trump. One guy said that even though Trump was a bad role model, at least he “had his wits about him”.

    Sidebar:  I’m not a big Trump fan, but I do recognize that he was a capable leader.  There was a contract programmer in my computer language who was a grade-A wisshole.  Every compliment to me was a backhanded one.  He was arrogant, rude, and royal PITA to work with.  But you know what?  He knew what he was doing and even I called on him when I didn’t have time to do some training.  I gave him instructions on a particular way I wanted a certain parameter to be taught, but he taught it his way.  Ticked me off royally, but his way wasn’t wrong and I did some cleanup after he left.  The dude really rubbed me the wrong way, but he knew what he was doing and could accomplish the goals assigned to him. That’s Trump.  You can hate him all you want, but the dude knows how to get things done.  That’s my humble opinion.  I’ll vote on ability and ideology, but I try not to let personal feelings get in the way of my election votes.  Because…emotions are information, not instruction!  Back to the C&C:

    Last week, Time Magazine and NBC both launched stories resembling SCUD missiles right into the heart of Biden’s Ukraine Proxy War. Then a few days later, and exactly one year before the elections, both Politico and The New York Times launched deeply-cutting political assassination drones against Biden.

    With Biden’s campaign blimp going down in flames, oh! the humanity, what do you think will happen next? Here’s a hint: last week Gavin Newsom went to China and — surprise! — met with President Xi….

    Ummmm….let’s see how all of this pans out.

    Vaxx news:

    Finally, I saved the biggest and best story for last. This weekend on CNBC’s show Delivering Alpha (‘alpha’ in this context means ‘excess returns over baseline’), the financial network held a long-form interview with Bill Ackman, philanthropist and ‘activist’ billionaire CEO of hedge fund giant Pershing Capital.

    https://x.com/ItsHambone/status/1720602942237974713?s=20

    Before I start transcribing the best parts, there are two things to know. First, CNBC is a financially conservative network and doesn’t normally take political risks in its programming. To say the least, it is an unlikely spot for a substantive discussion of the merits of vaccines. Second, Ackman was an early and enthusiastic covid vaccine advocate. But not anymore.

    Here are the key parts. You’re going to love it. The interviewer began by remarking on the unlikely fact that Ackman was supporting RFK, Jr., a known anti-vaccine nut job: [insert excerpt of interview about vaccines and Ackman’s changing view on them]

    /snip

    Listen to the whole thing and appreciate how far we have come. Allow me to number just a few of the massively-winning points demonstrated by this short, five-minute clip:

    1. CNBC aired an “anti-vaccine” segment — without labeling or undermining it.
    2. Ackman is a respected member of the financial community.
    3. He fundamentally and publicly changed positions on the covid vaccines.
    4. He is now publicly skeptical of all vaccines, not just mRNA jabs.
    5. He is listening to RFK and Elon Musk.
    6. He is putting his own money into it, both in supporting RFK (getting the word out) and funding scientific research against vaccines.
    7. Ackman labeled the issue a moral imperative.

    Only one thing can beat the self-interested lure of money: parental love. What the Ackman clip showed most is how the vaccine issue has now transcended even self-interest, which is the spell the vaccine industry has used to hold things together since the 1980’s when this vaccine madness originally began.  Now, a lot of people — including smart, successful, well-connected people — are starting to take a very hard look at jabs in general.

    The vaccine lie will unravel faster than you ever thought possible. Watch and see.

    I’m not against the attenuated virus jabs, though I know people – a growing number of people – who argue against them.  The mRNA stuff though?

    Running away is not fast enough.

    I’ve asked that question before but I’ve never received a definitive answer. It certainly doesn’t make any sense.

    I’ve been watching the White House Eunuch trying to get a “Cease Fire” while not calling it that. This is of course to appease all the left-wing lunatics that are pro Hamas, pro Hezbollah, pro Iran.

    FWIW; I cringe anytime I see Blinkin on the World Stage knowing that the whole world is laughing at our inept leadership. It is downright scary.    ~SPITS~

    I completely agree with Paul Craig Roberts about the loss of freedom in America and other places.

    However…

    I started reading Paul Craig Roberts back in the 1980s in the Conservative Chronicle publication on newsprint, long before the advent of the internet.  He wrote almost exclusively about monetary and economic policies and was spreading the alarm back then about the Deep State. I almost always agreed with him back then, but in the 1990s Roberts began to get weird and once the Oklahoma City bombing occurred things turned darker.

    According to Roberts, the destruction of that federal courthouse was planned by the federal government as a practice run for the big show, 9-11, the ultimate US government planned and funded disastrous attack.  This was a master plan to erode the US Constitution by striking fear into the hearts of Americans so they would surrender their privacy to Homeland Security, FBI, CIA, ATF and all the other agencies.  Paul Craig Roberts believes Israel and the Jews were complicit in 9/11 because it would cause the USA to invade all kinds of places in the Middle East.  As he writes above:

    The false flag attack, 9/11, was used to launch the neoconseratives’ wars in Israel’s behalf in the Middle East.

    This is so preposterous as to be almost laughable.  Israel was extremely worried the US military would trigger WWIII or direct attacks on them with all of its missions in Afghanistan and Iraq.  There were some Jewish officials in the Bush Jr. administration who were definitely neoconservatives who favored aggressive in the Middle East, but I can promise you no one in Israel was telling them what to think or do.  Israelis were nervous as hell about what Americans were going to blunder into and they were justified.

    Roberts is a smart guy, but his obsession with conspiracy theories and the intellectually lazy reliance on Jewish Worldwide Domination has ruined his reputation with all but the fringe lunatics and Jew-haters, unfortunately, like Ron Unz particularly.

    I can’t let this go without passing on the fact Paul Craig Roberts thinks the 2015 terrorist murders in Paris of the staff of the satirical magazine, Charlie Hebdo, was conducted by Israeli special agents in order to get European countries to realign more closely with Israel.

    That worked out real well, didn’t it ?  Europe and the UK turned around and opened their borders to millions of Arab and African fanatics.

    Roberts also believes former US Representative Cynthia McKinney of Georgia lost her seat because Israel sabotaged her campaign after she claimed the US government and the Israelis conspired to create the four airliner attack of September 11, 2001.  I believe she was the first member of Congress to make those allegations so it did draw a lot of attention.

    Outside of AIPAC in the US, I doubt anyone in Israel knew or cared about Cynthia McKinney.  They have better and more important things to do.

    Hank Johnson beat McKinney in the race when she ran on the Green Party ticket. Yes, that Hank, the Guam flipper, and he is still there while McKinney is still blaming Jews for her loss in Georgia.

    I have said it here before.  Unfortunately, it took until my early-40s for me to come to the realization I didn’t have to like or particularly admire a politician in order for me to vote for them.  I voted for Donald Trump twice, the first time because Hillary was running and the second time because he had proven himself in office.  I never voted for him because I liked him personally.

    Morning, gang! What time is it, anyway? I reset all the downstairs clocks by hand, aside from the one and only “connected” clock above the fireplace mantel. It gets its time information by microwave from somewhere in Colorado. Or anyway, it used to. When I got up on Sunday, it was running through a sequence of seconds, which I assumed to be the attempt to update the display to cover the 1-hour discrepancy. But later on in the day, I noticed it had settled for the same timing method it had been using the day before.  And that’s what it’s showing me now.

    The clock in my Dell laptop changed itself yesterday, but the mantel clock is still wrong. I don’t care, since I don’t count on it for anything anyway.

    Well, I got my God time in for my formal prayers.  God time really never ends, does it?  Anyway, I also got some light gardening in, since it’s been neglected lately.  I was able to compost tea feed most of my tubs (I want a second composting bucket – maybe for the spring planting I’ll have on in place).  I used my yard cart to tote the bucket around, because…knee!  I gathered another large handful of large green beans.  Quite a few of them escaped my notice last night, when I gathered a previous handful.  One of them was almost to the “let me go to seed” phase.  Sneaky beans.  They are about to be blanched and frozen.  Probably going to be part of dinner tonight.

    I pulled a few weeds – only a few! – and replanted my oregano with new raw compost material in its bucket. It should have been done a few months ago, but, again — knee!  After watering everyone, I decided I’d done enough and stopped before (I think) I hurt myself.

    But Elsa needed cleaning and reloading, since I had stuff in the freezer.  Before I left, I was taking some cheese out and forgot to empty my drain bucket before releasing the vacuum in the chamber.  Elsa vomited drain water like a tidal wave into the chamber and I couldn’t open the door until the vacuum released its hold..  It didn’t come over the top of the bottom tray, thank goodness, but a few shreds were knocked out of the tray.  I didn’t have time to clean her out because I was preparing for my trip and her defrost time took too long.  So today’s session started with a removal of the trays, draining of any excess moisture, scrubbing out of any sticky pieces with my chain mail pan scrubber, then a very thorough wiping down with alcohol of all surfaces.  I was doing the last chore when Hubby showed up to talk to me about ordering some more concrete floor stain for our Bryan property.  I explained what I was doing, and he immediately turned about and found a piece of PEX from upstairs.  He cut a piece that would extend the drain tube from Elsa to the floor drain and connected them.  I don’t have to worry about a drain bucket any more, and Elsa won’t vomit into the food chamber ever again.

    So, the trays are in my freezer while Elsa cools down.  It looks like more cheese shreds, avocado slices, and veggie soup stock (left over from a recipe last week).  The stock is being FD’d in pucks from my silicone muffin cups.  Love those things.  And I know that if I need a half cup of stock, those pucks are just under a half cup each.

    Truth 1 / Fake Feminism 0

    Remember when the trendy MeToo movement promoted by all the celebrity women fell apart when it was revealed they only wanted to persecute and prosecute men who of no use to them and yet protect the men who could further their careers.  The investigations began to swerve too close to the sordid pasts of entertainment stars who didn’t want it known they willingly leapt onto casting couches in pursuit of fame.

    Truth 2 / Fake Feminism 0

    The world witnessed these perversions because the villains proudly filmed them, then inspired Palestinians and pro-Palestinian progressives to spread them across social media. This secondary, digital, GoPro assault on the victims’ dignity made this orgy of misogyny one of the bloodiest and most publicized attacks on women in history.

    Nevertheless, more than three weeks later, the feminist community remains silent. In May 2021, within days of Israel counterattacking in self-defense against yet another Hamas bombardment, over 120 gender studies departments denounced the Jewish state. Declaring that “justice is indivisible,” they proclaimed that our work is “committed to an inclusive feminist vision,” as per the National Women’s Studies Association’s 2015 Solidarity Statement, “that contests violations of civil rights and international human rights law.” The call was so popular, the Palestinian Feminist Collective asked for patience. “Please note, due to the overwhelming response we are only uploading names twice a day. Please be patient as we are stretched to capacity.”

    Now, despite seeing Hamas’ rape cult, not one gender studies department has defended even one victimized woman. Feminists have long taught us to believe the accuser and not blame the victim. For years, progressives insisted, in academic papers, on T-shirts, even on coffee mugs, that when fighting oppression, “silence is consent,” or even that “silence is violence.” On Oct. 7, the violated women shouted, shrieked, cried, begged, rape after rape, cut after cut, fighting off these assaults with their voices and their bare hands as best each could. Some hostages may still be struggling. By contrast, violating every feminist principle I’ve ever read and respected, today’s feminist movement is violently, silently, consenting to this mass crime against women and against the victims from three-dozen different countries. Some even doubt the testimonials—and the staggering, bloody, heartbreaking evidence of stripped women paraded through Gaza’s streets. Robbing someone of their story is a secondary offense—but nevertheless inexcusable.

    Just noticed the mantel clock proclaims it to be November 6, a Thursday. So no telling what year it thinks it is. That clock is kerflunkt.

    It’s been on the mantel for about 20 years and has only just now messed up, so it did have a pretty good run…

    I read that one pathologist’s report contained the information that some women were raped so violently that their pelvises were broken.

    Being raped so violently that your pelvis is broken?

    First, that’s a hatred that’s not even human.  Second, the blood lust that this demonic society feeds should be eliminated.  I’m hoping for a turn to Jesus, but I don’t think that’s going to happen.  Third, the denial of the facts so the structure of victimhood power can remain in place is just as sickening.

    I’ve often told my students that ignorance isn’t necessarily bad, it just means you don’t know something.  Stupid is knowing something but doing the wrong thing anyway.

    The behavior of the left is beyond stupid.  It’s beyond hypocritical.  This is the same thinking as the Muslim mind:  whatever’s fair is whatever helps me.  Islam means “submission,” not “peace”.  In the Muslim world – at least from what I’ve read – peace will be achieved when all submit under Islam.  Whether you do it willingly or not doesn’t matter.  Deceit is allowed if it achieves submission.

    So people who are protesting on behalf of the blood/sex orgy of October 7th are the pawns of Islam and of terrorism, going beyond the hypocritical to intentionally ignore the evidence to promote their feelings of self-worth and superiority by defending the perceived “underdog”.  It is virtue signaling by putting the innocent upon the altar of evil, even to defending the burning and mutilation of babies so the protestors don’t have to undergo any uncomfortable personal change.

    Pray, pray, pray.  And don’t vote stupidly.

    Answer:  If you think it’ll promote Islam, otherwise, no.

    I think I threw up in my mouth a little when I read that.

    Tulane has always been a hotbed of leftist nonsense in increasingly conservative Louisiana so this came as encouraging news.

    After three weeks of gingerly crafted word salad emanating from American universities, the response of Tulane University president Michael Fitts to a “Free Palestine” protest-turned-riot that injured at least one pro-Israel student counter-protester and two other students was marvelously clear: he unequivocally condemned the violent rioters and vowed to punish any Tulane student who participated.

    Last Thursday afternoon, “Tulane Students for Palestine” staged a rally on a public, city-controlled street that bisects the school’s New Orleans campus. One protester—apparently not a Tulane student—took a lighter to an Israeli flag; when a pro-Israel student grabbed it, an assailant hit the student in the head with a Palestinian flag. The ensuing melee injured three students.

    Fitts didn’t respond with a top-line call for calm dialogue and a plea for each side to understand the other’s pain. Instead, he took a sharp law-and-order approach. “We condemn and are outraged by today’s violence,” he wrote. “Everyone who committed an illegal act on this day will be held accountable for their actions. In addition, all students are accountable to the Code of Student Conduct,” with violators to face “disciplinary action.” Fitts praised police for making “several arrests” on-scene, as well as a later arrest for anti-Semitic vandalism, and noted that “additional arrests may be forthcoming as video evidence is reviewed.” He also promised more policing by both on-campus and city officers and told students to expect a “highly visible police presence” at future protests. Finally, he warned students “to avoid participating in any further demonstrations off campus,” as they could get caught up in violent escalation.

    When you realize that Muslims consider dogs unclean (another reason to never become Muslim!), this video is particularly satisfying.

    I think one of the worst videos I’ve ever seen is the mass extermination of stray dogs in a Muslim community.  The perps went from dog to dog and injected ACID into them.  That death had to be excruciating, but they seemed to take pleasure in the activity. /spits

    NYC made that bed, but they don’t like to lay in it.  Unfortunately, the illegals like it just fine:

    Adding to the IDF K-9 terrorist take down video above, here’s why those dogs are so good at their jobs:

    While visiting the House of Happiness, I got to catch up on Mark Rober videos.  He’s the “glitter bomb guy,” but this video illustrates just how magical dogs are in tracking down their targets.

    Love Trump and his personality.

    best president in my lifetime.

    better than Reagan who signed the disastrous 1986 amnesty bill.

    Trump’s a fighter who loves the country unlike the sans a belt slack, eCan’t Vampyres that have raped, plundered and sucked on so much blood money for decades that the US no longer exists as a sovereign country.

    The eCan’ts have joined their fellow brethren the totalitariancrats and have allowed tmillions and millions of invaders in who don’t give one thimble of spit about this country and with no end in sight.

    I remember when the wretched dizzy Crawford cowboy dunce was president and he was unmercifully trashed by the press, Hollywood and everyone in between and people wondered why he was so weak and never fought back.

    then we elected a president in Trump who did fight back and the propagandist press told everyone he was too mean and the eCan’t bush types and the soccer moms fell for it hook line and sinker.

    the reason the country no longer exists is because of the likes of the Kentucky Swamp Turtle and the Texas Cornhole and the rest of the sans a belt slack eCan’ts who were quite ok with the 2020 steal because they supported the wooden dummy over president Trump anyway.

    Trump got more done in 4 years, even with all the opposition from the sans a belt slack, joined at the hip Vampyre parties and 4 straight years of propagandist press Russian hoax lies, than the Kentucky Swamp Turtle wing of the party has ever achieved in 40 years other than enriching themselves.

    I’ll never vote for an eCan’t again.

    Doing much better but slow. Oxygen levels up to 95 consistently now, but doesn’t take much to get winded. Aggravating to waste this weather getting things done that were put off due to heat waves this year.

    Thanks for axing.

    I feel your pain man.  I have been battling COPD and emphysema for years.  You will adapt and overcome like I have.  I keep an eye on Super Dave.  He seems to come up with ways and means that I can copy to still get things done steadier if not quicker.  DON’T STOP and NEVER GIVE UP.

    Getting ready for tomorrow — I never go and vote early. I was looking at an online map of voting sites in NW Houston, and quickly realized that there are a slew of new ones close to me. And yet, several — schools, mostly — that I have voted at the last several years are not on the current online map I was using.

    I simply picked the school that is closest to me, and hope I don’t get lost — it’s not on a main street.

    Well I had a productive day. I got the big brush pile beside the little pond moved, it took most of the day but I got it done. I had to use the chain saw a lot to whack up the bigger pieces so I could move them. I worked for almost 7 hours straight but that was it, I couldn’t go anymore. Like Squawk says I just keep at it sometimes slowing down and taking a break, something I couldn’t make myself do in my younger days. I’m planning on getting out the wood chipper on Wednesday and tackle a huge pile of hedge, I should be caught up with the small stuff by then.

    Oh and I had Burn’t Dawgs for supper and man did they hit the spot. My wife usually only has one but she was hungry enough to eat two with lots of chili.

    Life is Good.

    BTW; This is going to be the third week of great weather for working outside and I’m trying to make the best of it before it gets colder for good. I can get a lot more done with highs near 80 than 100. 😉

    I’ve been terrified about the West Bank forever and the deadly attacks have been a steady stream, but I’ve been worried about a wholesale attack like what happened near Gaza.  The only deterrent is they live around and among Jewish villages and compounds.  It’s not like Gaza and they have no place to run to like the Gaza Strip.
