We need to GROK that the Democrats–the national Democrats, which is not always the same people running local and State governments, although it is becoming that way–no longer value Americans, no longer value common decency, no longer value working for the common good.

They could not care less that many of these illegals are committing violent crimes over and above violating our immigration laws.  All they care about is that all these Mexicans–and by and large they ARE Mexicans–remember them come election time, and reward with votes the people who have been bought illegally, and who will be paid for out of the public coffer, out of the hard work of people born here, and who are supporting this very literally criminal enterprise.

Democrats need to wake up and realize that if their party is the party of the “Working Man”, it is the party of the MEXICAN working man, and that if you were born here, fuck you.  You can expect your wages to continue going down, work to be harder to come by, and whenever Hillary can get away with it, for taxes to go up substantially.

We are watching the evisceration of a system that works, to accommodate people from a system that does NOT work, and whose seeds they will undoubtedly plant here.

Lamenting this is common sense and common decency.  Nothing more, nothing less.

Where are the brave, good people to defend a way of life so many have fought and died for, thinking our enemies were somewhere other than our universities, our media, and our treasonous political elites?

It occurs to me that sometimes it is good to name feelings, and sometimes it isn’t.  When I did the Hoffman Process, we had a list of feeling grades we could use when someone asked us how we felt.  It was on the back of our binder.  Words included calm, centered, ashamed, vulnerable, dissatisfied, yearning, etc.

But I get these really interesting states doing my Kum Nye, where I feel a sort of connection with the air and space around me.  And I don’t feel like naming it.

When it comes to complex sensations and feelings, “that” is not just an acceptable answer, but sometimes the only appropriate one.

I would pull the lever with more confidence for Trump than Jeb Bush.  And I think this sentiment has spilled out across the country.  BOTH parties have shown they can’t handle governing responsibly.

And given that Obama has lost the war in Iraq, planted the seeds to lose the war in Afghanistan, has created more debt than any President in American history–with only George W. as a competitor–and has rammed through a medical insurance take-over that no sane people who pay income taxes wants or needs (or would do, given sensible and easy reforms), I ask: HOW MUCH WORSE CAN IT GET?

We have a President currently who is beyond incompetent: he is working for our enemies.  He is working for our demise.  And he is getting it.

At a minimum–unlike Jon Stewart and all the silly people who very simply cannot have serious, adult conversations–Trump does love this country, and he can be expected to make decisions to help further its interests.

That should be a sine qua non for being President, but clearly it isn’t.

Granted, he is an egomaniac, and a blowhard, and a hypocrite, and he has often changed his mind.  Why, then, is he still the most honest politician on either side of the aisle? It is not Trump who needs to apologize for saying what hundreds of millions of Americans are thinking: it is those who want to represent us, but show no vision, no courage, no leadership, and no UNDERSTANDING.

I have not started watching it again yet, but did want to comment that there is something mystical, something compelling, about night and flame.  The night rallies became more than political: they partook of the religious, of the rite, of the initiation.

You work 8 to 5 or whatever, then go home.  That is your day life.  By asking people to come out at night, to stay out at night, and to bring torches, they got into people’s innermost recesses.  They got into their homes and families.  They broke the separation between public and private.

This is a provocative thought, but I can conceive of ways in which the methods of totalitarianism could potentially be turned to the good.  We need to know why what they did worked, how it worked, and what the long term effects were, both good and bad.

I didn’t read all the way down, but will just support one point he made: if you provide ANY answer to the question “have you stopped beating your wife yet”, which is the set up for every media hit, then you lose.  And they want you to lose.  That is why they love this tactic so much.  They will ignore serial killers if they are Democrats, and find moral outrage for Republicans who jaywalk.  That is the way it works.

By not apologizing, Trump of course nurtures his ego.  But he also does not buy into this game where he will invariably and necessarily lose.

As I have said on a number of occasions, the only way you can deal with this system is through relentless offense.  Their whole method is to put doubts in people’s heads, to make them feel guilty about crimes committed dozens of times a day by the Left, and to slow them down, and stop them.

Romney did not go for Obama’s jugular when he should have.  Why?  He is a decent, introspecting man, and he feels some bonds of human decency.  That is a fatal defect when dealing with wolves.  Whatever his manifest flaws may be, lacking a killer instinct is not one of Trump’s shortcomings.

And when it comes to sexual escapades, I will note that Bill Clinton was fucking an intern in the Oval Office, and nobody seems to care.  Hillary seems to be a lesbian, and nobody cares.  Hell, I don’t care: that is by far the least disqualifying thing about her. My only objection is the lie of their marriage.  They are political allies, nothing more.

Trump is over the top, but none of that really matters.  If we are supposed to normalize gay marriage, why not infidelity and sexual voracity?  We’ve been through the sexual revolution.  John McCain cheated on his wife, too, as far as that goes.

This seems to be getting ZERO air time.  He called McCain a hero three times, but wanted to be clear he was not an Audie Murphy war hero.  And he wasn’t.  He displayed great courage, but was not particularly successful in killing the enemies of America.

Actual quote: “He’s not a war hero.  He is a war hero.  He’s a war hero because he was captured.” 


And this is true.  And it’s worth adding for context that McCain accused Trump, among other things, of “bringing out the crazies”.  It is worth noting in that regard it is a virtually CERTAINTY that McCain and Lindsay Graham helped create ISIS by secretly knowing about and agreeing to Obama arming and training supposed Syrian “rebels”, who have from the onset been on all accounts foreign born and committed to Islamism.


I think to this very day Obama is still providing arms to these people, in a war which continues even now, and to his enduring discredit and dishonor, McCain has not changed his position an iota, that I can see.


We can both respect past service, and call bullshit on present policies.  McCain ran a shitty campaign in 2008 and that is part of the reason we got Obama.  


I for one wish he would retire.  It would help us remember the good things with greater clarity, rather than being forced into concluding he is as dangerous as Obama.

I have lists: lists of books I haven’t read, movies I haven’t seen, classical music I don’t understand, etc.  I have, put another way, a very partial map of the extent of my ignorance, and I try to decrease its extent– it being the territory marked “I don’t know” within the realm of what I know I don’t know–regularly.

Triumph of the Will has been on my list for a while.  I am watching it tonight, and thought I might make a few notes.

The first realization I had is that although I’ve seen many pictures of Hitler, I’ve never really seen much film of him.  Watching him, he does a really weird salute to the people Heiling him.  It’s more like a waiter carrying a plate. It feels like a position from which he can absorb, but not offer, energy.

The first address he makes is to the assembled labor forces.  This is strategic, since the Communists had been trying to recruit labor as well.  He states something like: that battle is over.  You are here, you are valued, and nobody who is an honest German will admit anything but that you are the equals of us all.  All those troubles: irrelevant and behind us.

Then, addressing the Hitler Youth, he says, and I quote the subtitles: “We want a society with neither castes nor ranks.”

It is interesting that they call each other “Comrade” as well.

The myth that Fascism and Communism exist at opposite ends of the political spectrum has been very useful for Communists, but it is just that: an untruth.  A lie.

Within the film they repeated discussed both National Socialism, and the National Socialist German Worker’s Party.

As I said several days ago, I think the metaphor that works best for me is the battles between the Bloods and the Crips (or the Jets and the Sharks, if you prefer).  When the Spanish Civil War happened, both sides were ultimately run by blood-thirsty monsters.  There was no good side, even if the Stalinist puppets managed to appeal to a lot of naive idealists.  They lied to do it. That is what they do.

More tomorrow.  I need to go to bed.  I finished the first hour, and will finish the second hour tomorrow.  I lead an odd life, but it is congenial to me.

I think I have advanced to a place where I just have normal problems.  I still get distracted, alcohol will always be a temptation, my diet is not perfect, and my place is a cluttered mess.

But someone lives here.  And that is a good thing.

http://nypost.com/2015/07/18/obama-has-been-collecting-personal-data-for-a-secret-race-database/

Does anyone else remember a prominent government from the past one hundred years with an obsession with cataloging and documenting all issues with regard to race?

One wonders if Obama secretly dreams of a black on white Kristallnacht.  That’s sort of what rioting is, except they only attack themselves.

Of course, things would end quite differently.  Jews were disarmed by law, as are most blacks, also by law.

But can you just imagine the nightmare of lawsuits this will facilitate, the blackmail and extortion?

And in the end, will the black race have been elevated?  More specifically, will they have done ANYTHING to elevate themselves?  This whole project is based upon the assumption of the helplessness, incompetence, laziness, and stupidity of blacks.  It is, in other words, more profoundly racist than the most ardent KKK member.

On that note I will remind folks as well that in the entire history of racist lynchings perhaps 4,000 blacks were killed. I read some 6,300 blacks were killed in 2011.

Given that most of the murders were committed by other blacks, can any sane person blame racism?

We need to all take a breath and realize that racism isn’t a word anymore.  It has been turned into bland jell-o.  It means nothing.

We are told that blacks are frustrated because they lack economic opportunities.  Well, have we not spent a great deal of money pointing out the obvious fact that dropping out of high school is foolish?  Have we not wasted enough billions on teacher union controlled schools which do not produce educations, but rather good jobs for lardass teachers?

I’ve spoken of all this often enough.  I’ll leave it alone for now.

I’ve been claiming that CO2 does its work mainly in the stratosphere.  It appears it is in fact in the upper troposphere, which extends a good 7 miles vertically.

As I remind folks from time to time, an obsession with details is not normally one of my strengths.  As a practical matter, it doesn’t matter what layer it is.  What matters is that where infrared radiation is captured should be warming 2-3 times as fast as the Earth itself, and in point of fact, it doesn’t appear to be warming AT ALL: http://dailycaller.com/2015/07/17/satellites-earth-is-nearly-in-its-21st-year-without-global-warming/

Even if it were warming mildly, that would still not mean much, but that fact that we have long term, accurate measurements indicating no warming at all is a prima facie indictment of the whole farce.

All the NOAA does is skip the lies and damned lies, and go straight to statistics.  Specifically, they use algorithms to ESTIMATE the temperature in places where they have no readings.  GIGO.  This should be obvious.  Given that you are guessing, you can’t know if you are right.

The fact that they continue this nonsense, when they have very accurate satellite measurements which are vastly more meaningful scientifically, tells us all we need to know about their corruption and complicity in this astonishing hoax.
