Sandbox – 3may22

[California’s 2021 population shrank for the second year in a row. (here)  Our local leftwingers have continued to ignore this phenomenon in the large, and most certainly deny its most proximal cause that can be remedied by rolling back the atrocious tax and regulatory policies with which our one-party monopoly legislature has burdened the once Golden State, and continues to do so unabated.  Reporting on this, the lamestream media (e.g. NPR) explains to its audiences that all this is due only to lower birthrates, Covid deaths, and not enough ‘immigration’ (aka influx of illegal aliens).  Nowhere is mentioned the ongoing Great California Exodus of businesses and workers numbering in the hundreds of thousands annually.  The state’s Democrats continue to count on their double dummy constituents to keep them in office and pay no attention to those behind the curtain who have put California at the bottom in about every measured QoL category. gjr]

BillT 928am - In CA are we supposed to jump out the window and run away when we hear someone break into our house?

No.....still hard to hear gunshot(s)...one preferably....or better yet the impact of the Louisville Slugger to the back of someones skull....inside a home!

[Bill Tozer]

Dr. Rebane
Apparently so. Do not resist. What I don’t like about jumping out the window when someone breaks into my humble abode is each time I do that, I have to replace the window screen. Some window screens do not simply pop off without adrenaline induced brute force. I ain’t the kind to hide behind worthless dry wall. :)

[George Rebane]

re BillT 1019am - If we are to be "up to the challenge", then some recommend an added level of insurance by placing a 'throwaway' in the hand of the just departed intruder. I understand the police have subscribed to such insurance for decades. But how does a law-abiding citizen obtain a reliable throwaway? Ah, the complexities of maintaining your home as a castle.

[Bill Tozer]

Dr. Rebane

That’s why you have two guns. One to shoot the intruder and one to place in his hand and proof that he stole your gun off the little table inside the front door. You had no choice when he picked up the first defense gun at that point. Whatever you do, don’t let him get outside…in CA.

Oh yeah. Then put some bullets in the chamber of the empty gun. Oh course your fingerprints are all over it cause it’s your gun he picked up! But, best to make sure he isn’t just some drunk not knowing where he is at oraware of his surroundings and walking around lost and who happened to walk up to your door and let himself right on in. Happened to me once. Guy just was at the door and started to come in and I told him to get away from the door a take a step back. He was about 24, out of his mind drunk and looking for his buddy. Get this. I told him he was at the wrong place and I don’t know anyone named by his buddy’s name and the dude starting arguing with me and said he is not leaving until I showed him where his buddy lives!

Things started to escalate quick and just as I was about to shove him down the front stairs, I looked in his eyes. He was no treat. He didn’t know where he was and needed help to find his buddy. I walked with him out to the street and pointed to two houses away with a driveway to that leads to some bungalows in back. Told him the check down there. He walked off. Glad I did not hurt him……..his eyes told me he did not have malice.

re: Scotto@10:07PM

It is a rather odd column. Dunno why people think of the affairs of mass humanity as being two-dimensional, and naturally the writer is always in the middle.

The sort of column that would get you zero paying customers at substack.

Truth is that periodicals and newspapers are dying and are bummed at their lack of impact. There's the occasional scooplet, but that'll be just one more data item in the Great Internet Thunderdome.

The other amusing truth is that there are scads of amateur writers who are better than the pro news people, it's really not that rare a skill. Given the tendency for modern periodicals to hire woke kids on the cheap, I'd say that traditional media is accelerating their own demise.

In terms of older Democratic voters they are, to a (wo)man, utterly convinced that the H. Biden laptop is 'misinformation', typically a newly learned word, and that Trump colluded with the Russians. Naturally, any news site that states otherwise is filled with 'misinformation'. Just ask a few and you'll see.

re: BillT@9:06

I ran into the MAGA King post while searching for ultramaga and darkmaga artwork. There's plenty of both out there.

The cool thing about 'ultramaga' (the lead balloon floated by POTUS) is that it was immediately picked up by Trump forces for funny art and hat/t-shirt sales. Oh well. The Democrats are hell on wheels at burning down buildings but suck at memes.

An interesting aside to this is the continuing 'dead internet' concept going on at Google. Search for 'ultramaga' images, and all you'll get is CNN with the Bidenmuppet doing it's thing and hat/t-shirt ecommerce. Search engines have shrunk to basically MSM and stuff-for-sale. Just see how few pages of results show up anymore if you dig down a bit. Something odd is going on under the covers.

I see you're a follower of Catilin Johnstone, a self described Libertarian from Australia.

She wrote this concerning the situation in Ukraine:

"The whole thing was premeditated. All with the goal of weakening Russia and effecting regime change in Moscow in order to secure US unipolar hegemony."

Do you agree with her on this? That's quite a conspiracy as she points out. Here's a link to her piece:

"Do you agree with her on this? "

Yes.

Simply search for news articles on Ukraine prior to about 2020 and mostly prior to 2014. Do a bit of research, it's not hard, really.

It's been stated as an overt goal by some of the foreign policy mafia. No real 'conspiracy' needed ('conspiracy' implies 'bullshit' of course). There's been an insane amount of hinky doings in Ukraine by the US over the last decade+.

The whole thing has been smothered by the full court press of propaganda.

So, will you answer a question of mine someday? I'll keep it in the bank.

[scenes]

moi: 'yes'.

Having said that, the thing that really matters is whether the Russians think that's the case, and that's an easy find in older news articles.

Now that it's out in the open:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/04/25/russia-weakened-lloyd-austin-ukraine-visit/

You can make a few cases:
. That the Ukrainian elite wants to drag the whole world into their war, regardless of what happens. They'll do/say anything to avoid defeat.
. That the Russians will drag the whole world into war if you push them hard enough. They might well come out in a comparatively stronger position once the radiation clears. At least the hivemind will survive.
. The Victoria Nulands of the world simply don't give a shit how close they play this whole thing.

Heidi Hall came to town with a pic of her with Nancy as one of the Pelosi girls that completed their lib training. I have searched and searched for that picture the Union ran back then to no avail. Scrubbed clean, gone. All I found out was she hired a firm in Seattle to run the campaign. She worked for the State on the water quality board or State clean air folks…..

Charlie Brown ran for the Congressional District and was spotted sitting next to Pelosi at the place he was giving a speech p or debate in Auburn. After his defeat, Charlie Brown went to Washington to work for the Dems….er…..the Dem Administration in some department.

Guess Heidi Hall is smart enough to learn quick that this ain’t Sac and pictures of her and Pelosi may not have the desired effect she was seeking as an intro to the local public. Or did she know her constituents in her BOS district and that was a great icebreaker?

It seems to me that it's only a certain type of intellectual at work here. There's a particular sort whose stock-in-trade is building scaffolds of language, perhaps an internally consistent word salad, that leads to a virtual world that needs implementin'. The fact that a)it collides with organically arrived at systems, b)it's likely to be wrong, and c)is an emotional need justified with pretend-logic, never stops anyone.

It's our own damn fault for funding these people, they could just as easily be spinning their stories on the transmission line at Chevrolet.

I was considering Soros DA's and the interest for their installation. Aside from the naked attempts at power by aiding and abetting a street army, it seems to me that it hits smack dab into an interesting tension in society. It goes like so...simply put, you need to over-punish to produce relatively safe societies if you lack a well-behaved homogeneous culture with strong peer pressure.

So, you either have seemingly unfair punishment applied for street crime, should you jail someone for six months for shoplifting? Without it, you have industrial-scale shoplifting. It looks to moi that there's really no workable compromise position between 'fairness' and effectiveness, especially when some groups are given a pass because of 'historical injustice'.

Until the pendulum swings, I'd simply expect passive security measures to expand (fortresses in cities, or moving outside of them) plus private security pushing the boundaries of the law.

[Scott O]

Psul - you spelled 'scenes' with a capital S.
He will only answer when summoned by the proper spelling of his name. Dems da rules. Remember?
And scenes did point out that the problems seem to stem from only a certain type of "intellectual".
Don't worry Psul - the problem with you has nothing to do with intellect.

[Paul Emery]

Whomever posted the 1:21 is appareantly afraid to use their real name instead is using my last name. George,; you know who the real poster is. Could you instruct them not to use my name?

[George Rebane]

"Whomever posted ..."?? Back in the old days our schools taught 'Whoever posted ...' as the correct English grammar, which today has become optional or even racist for all we know. Those of us who learned our readin', ritin', and 'rithmetic in those days get numerous daily chuckles when we hear today's college educated with advanced degrees continue to misuse 'I' in their compound objects - e.g. 'She likes him and I.'

Ms. Only Marginally Rational, Natalie Adona, is mentioned in an election story a'gin today. In her role as the person doing the job the election is said to be settling. The guy currently in the office, Greg Diaz, is apparently missing in action. Taking an in office early retirement?

Well, the Unyun deleted Adona's name from the online story (Mr. Peabody and his Wayback Machine is nowhere to be found for the print editions) but golllleeee!

Adona managed to send out 75,503 ballots but there are only 69,960 registered voters. So there will be 5,543 extras floating around.

Sounds like sumbody screwed up.

The Emperor has no coattails.

Joe Biden became the first new incoming President in over a hundred years to lose House seats during his initial presidential victory. What a loser.

[George Rebane]

Joe Biden's mentality. Watching the news tonight, we again saw a number of video clips of our president's statements from behind the podium. It is literally mind-numbing to watch that man perform in the public forum. Has anyone any recollection or record of a POTUS more ignorant, dumb, and butt-stupid than Joe Biden? It is incomprehensible for me to believe that our republic can survive when such a large share of our fellow Americans believe this mental cretin is the better choice for any office in the land.

[CREMATOGASTER ASHMEADI EMERY]

Democrats’ Real Liability in the House

“Joe Biden marked an unexpected and unwanted milestone this month when he won a clear popular-vote majority in the presidential election but saw his party suffer substantial losses in the House of Representatives.

That unusual combination of results—the first time it’s happened in more than 120 years—crystallizes the core challenge Democrats face in translating their consistent victories in the popular vote into congressional power.”

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/11/bidens-popular-vote-win-didnt-help-house-democrats/617211/

Obama won about 1,000 counties in the US. Trump won about 800 counties. Joe Biden won 400 counties.

Ole Joe the Nose and his fellow mental midgets put women last once again. First, he tried and they are still trying to groom kindergarten school children. Then they put a low priority on a child’s learning and education. Genitalia comes first and let’s play Doctor. Then they slammed women horridly as evil if they were not pro-murder. Now he has taken our women’s baby formula away and is trying to kill our babies that weren’t aborted.

Hey Joe, save some kids so they can rub your golden hair legs, perv.

"Well, the Unyun deleted Adona's name from the online story"

Huh. That's odd. Maybe it costs extra to put in more words on the internet? internet readers don't like longer articles?

Online:

"...The June 7 election is under four weeks away, but many county voters already have received their vote-by-mail ballots.

By mid-afternoon Friday, 75,503 ballots had been mailed to registered voters, according to the county Clerk-Recorder’s Office. About 100 completed ballots have been returned.

By mid-afternoon Friday, 75,503 ballots had been mailed to registered voters, said Natalie Adona, assistant clerk-recorder/registrar of voters. She estimated about 100 completed ballots have been returned.

"We're still gathering from our drop boxes, so I don't have an exact number" she said.

Another great day for the 2nd amendment. Do you think that if the Buffalo shooter cries and claims he was threatened by shoppers carrying grocery bags he will get off?

Buffalo shooter proves that CRT is a bunch of baloney and there is no race problem in America.

(I'll take pity and respond to mumbogumboergonautfishwarp)

"Buffalo shooter proves that CRT is a bunch of baloney "

I suppose it just proves that for every action, there's an equal and opposite mostly peaceful reaction. I suspect that the current news half-life for Payton Gendron will be a lot longer than it was for Darrell Edward Brooks though.

If the wypipo get it in their heads to build their own Crazytown, it'll be a good time to make sure that your canned goods are stocked and your relationship with the neighbors is in order.

The online version originally also had Adona named; it only got deleted after I flagged it as inappropriate.

"The online version originally also had Adona named; it only got deleted after I flagged it as inappropriate."

That seems fair. I would think that the newspaper got it's information from the person favored by Diaz to do God's Work and then simply jotted down what they knew.

There's usually some mafia or the other backing any candidate for those jobs and if it happens to be a national one that's just the nature of the times. Activism and quasi-religious belief systems seem hard to avoid at this point. No doubt the other two candidates are being excoriated as chestfeeder hatin' election deniers, the outrage endorphin rush burns so good.

mumbler 9:53 - "Another great day for the 2nd amendment."
Amusing little whine.
The shoppers in Buffalo are not allowed by the Dem state of New Yawk to legally carry for self defense.
So - no, it was a sad day for the dead and grieving citizens denied their Constitutional rights.

[Bill Tozer]

Merciful scenes. Yes, Darrell Brooks Jr. popped in my noggin as well.

Those daddy issues really come out of left field….bigly. It’s hard to be a Phil Donahue man in 2022. Did notice that the shooter hated FOX News. At least Jig Wiggles has that in common with the Buffalo shooter.

Do you know who the number one target of White Supremacists in the USA is? A black guy? A gay man? A black woman? No, not Asians. It is Ben Shapiro, the Jew. Number one target. Jig Wiggles hates Ben Shapiro also. That’s two things he has in common with the White Supremacists.

Buffalo reminds me of the dude that shot up the crowded Mosque in Australia. And the dude who shot up the El Paso Walmart. All three wrote manifestos that has this insidious Green Radical Agenda. Make to the Earth Movement recycled again and again.

FYI, the first domestic terrorism folks labeled such as a group by the FBI were the radical violent Eco-Terrorists. ‘National Environmentalists’ is a new one. Anyway…..most of that tree spiking gang that torched new car lots and subdivisions under construction now work for the Biden Administration.

re: Payton Gendron (an amazing name if nothing else)

Just further proof that there's a lot of insanity abroad in the land.

There's a whole generation raised without the prospect of useful work and careers, no opportunity for starting and raising a family, exposed to highly addictive 24/7 advertising/propaganda.

Naturally, it's fun to play world changing revolutionary until shit gets real. There's a chemical high from wearing uniforms (all-black or camo) and feeling The Lord course through you. The ruling class even picks up on the panic with meeting rooms a'plenty inventing good ideas for one and all. Next up will be national restrictions on purely defensive measure like protective vests and lotsa web surveillance and 'misinformation' control from Scary Poppins.

The best answer is to avoid idiots as often as possible. Anyone carrying a sign is first on the list followed by That Guy who neeners on about how things oughtta be.

Oh poo - too bad for you lefty haters. Turns out the Buffalo murderer is a lefty! A 'green' lefty!
The gov of New Yawk is plenty upset and lets everyone know she wants the tax payers to make sure he has a free meal ticket along with free medical and dental while he gets a college degree and enjoys sex for the rest of his life.
The feds want to kill him not because he murdered people but because of him offing people that are more important than you.
At least I haven't heard anyone spout the "too many people killed" line so popular with dim-witted politicians. I'm always keen to hear what they believe the correct number of folks are you can kill before it gets to be "too many".
The good gov is pretty sure that state censorship will do the trick:
"In the wake of the shooting, Hochul said her state is taking "proactive measures" to monitor social media platforms and called on internet companies to boost their monitoring of hate speech that "comes under the guise of white supremacy and terrorism," including by hiring more people and changing their algorithms to more quickly identify hate speech."
'Proactive measures'
And those would be?
But only against 'white supremacy' - other violent extremists like Muslims are OK.
Say - what happened to the black dude that mowed down a bunch of white persons? Are the feds gonna kill him?
Nothing like equal justice under the law.

[Scott O]

From what I've read so far, the Buffalo killer wanted to be a civil engineer like mommy and daddy but you need to be able to do thinking and logic and math and stuff but this poor bastard wasn't up to the task.
He thought there were too many non-whites and apparently thought getting rid of 10 would be helpful?
A thorough examination of his life would probably be interesting. He was a loser and he knew it. May as well just kill a few folks you don't know and be done with it. He was too cowardly to even have it out with the cops. If we are going to lower our freedoms down to where the bottom of society like this are safe from bad thoughts then we may as well tear up the Constitution. Mommy and daddy had their careers - they had no clue what they had raised.
