Colleen Long, is another lying whore, allegedly, acting as a journalist. you can read her tale of how the chant, “Let's go Brandon.”, started and do not miss the irony, as she too pretends not to know what the crowd at Talladega, were shouting. Normally I wouldn't link to the sad AP, but this time it's for fun. Here is the alleged whore's post and here is a more fun article.
Has anyone else noticed that the names Hillary Clinton and Alexandria Cortez are never mentioned in a same breath much less the same sentence by anyone in the media? Isn't that strange? Could there be a link between these two, or three? Remember Huma Abedin? What ever happened to her? It's as if she was swallowed up by a small quantum worm hole. One can only speculate. That's AOC on the left and Huma on the right. It looks like someone has a type. What are your thoughts? Doesn't it seem odd that in all the puff pieces done by the fawning tyrannical loving media about AOC and Hillary Clinton, that none of them ever seem to overlap? No comparisons to the two? Weird, right?
According to rt.com/news, China is either running a long con game or is convinced that no one in Washington, indeed, the United States is listening or cares to. According to the sources, including a tweet from someone calling himself Hu Xijin China thinks that the nuclear brinksmanship is a fool's errand, all in vain. He's sure that as long as Washington keeps finding ways to protect herself from enemies the nuclear arms race will continue. Essentially Hu was commenting, via twitter, to the rest of the world, to an opinion piece by Laura Grego, a fellow at the MIT Laboratory for Nuclear Security and Policy, decrying the futility of the US developing missile defense technologies, because, presumably, the more capable such systems get the more energies will be spent to defeat them. So I'm assuming then that she would have us do nothing to further our defense.
It's not a new argument from people such as Laura Grego, whom I'm assuming is a an agent of the raging communist left that has been flourishing for generations under our noses and are safe now to reveal themselves. The Communists regimes themselves have warned the same. Iron sharpens iron. If the Chinese have indeed, developed hyper sonic missiles capable of defeating any defenses then that is a challenge well worth any effort to match, surpass and subdue. Doing nothing will only give our enemies time to perfect their craft towards world domination and world slavery. Doing the opposite will make them spend their much needed energy and money, with their heightened fear in tow.
It is clear to one that, the Chinese, the Russians and the rest of the evil cabal who hate us, including the ones at home, have their strategies to defeat us. We're already at war with them here, right now. They have infiltrated our governments, our courts, our schools, places of so called, higher learning and after November 3rd, 2020, it seems they have found their holy grail. Our elections have become meaningless and an enemy, tyrannical regime can be foisted upon us at will. Should we quit the fight here as well or should we continue these battles, this war to the bitter conclusion? I say we fight and I'm not alone.
The mere fact that they wish us to capitulate is evidence enough that they are afraid and wish to distract us. We'll have to ensure that our votes mean something or we'll be in a hot civil war in no time flat. Which would probably be good for our enemies. However, I think it's necessary for us as well. We have to confront and defeat the enemy in our midst. There is no common ground, no common sense, no common culture because while they may look and sound like us, we have nothing else in common with them. Freedoms, individual liberties, pursuance of happiness and the right to be left alone, are all alien to them. In the effort to have a bloated government controlling their political enemies, they risk becoming ensnared in the same pit. They are of little consequence now for now we fight for our freedoms and our future. Our only fear, should be not succeeding.
My first Linux Distro was Red Hat 6.0. I bought it at a Staples Office store, in Larchmont, New York. I couldn't wait to test it out. At that time Windows 98 was in season and Windows XP was on the way. Back then, Red Hat had a full graphical installation setup which was really ahead of it's time. One could make partitions or one could use the entire disk. Initially I tried dual boot setups but I didn't like that system long. I decided to install a hard drive bay on my PC and installed Windows on one drive and Linux on another when I was finished using either one I'd just switch bays. That worked very well. At the time Red Hat and rpms was all I knew, that was my world and I loved it. At that time, 1998, there were very few, free Office productivity suites for Linux. There was AbiWord and Gnumeric, which worked well but they were missing key features and were not exactly ready for daily driver status. We had modems back then and the fastest of them were 56K baud. Then Sun Micro Systems made their office Suite, Star Office available for Linux and Downloads were free. At the time, if I remember correctly, The tar or zip file, I don't remember which, was around 150MB that was a huge file to download over phone lines at or below 56K, it took hours to get that fucking file. I decided to browse the popular computer stores at the time, Staples, Radio Shack, and CompUSA, for software. I found Corel Word Perfect For Linux and scarfed it up.
The Box came with several CD-ROMs and along with Corel Word Perfect, came a product called Corel Linux. I didn't give it much thought at the time, because I was more interested in installing Word Perfect on my Red Hat System. While doing the installation, I observed that along with the rpms, there were some other files that ended with the suffix deb. I didn't know what those were. I later found out that those files were for installation on another Linux distribution called Debian. Now at that time I was also a computer hardware technician and working in that field gave me income as well as the acquisition, of spare parts. I bring that up because, since I had spare hard drives I could install and test out other distros and architectures, including the BSD's and such. Anyway, I was curious about this Corel Linux so I wanted to install it. However, before I begin, let me tell you about Corel Word Perfect for Linux. It was usable but it was unstable, and Corel was actually using Wine to run their binaries. Which made Corel Word Perfect slow too, because it wasn't being run natively. Which is why I wanted to try Corel Linux. I thought that since Word Perfect and Corel Linux were fabricated by the same company, they would somehow work in concordance. Which was true. It turned out that Corel Linux was Debian 2.2 Potato. On it's own Corel Linux was smooth and stable after all it was a ripped off version of Debian. However as soon as I installed the Word Perfect packages it went batty. It seemed that the deb versions of Word Perfect, were also running on Wine. So I experienced the same pitfalls as I did running Word Perfect on Red Hat.
Since I was now exposed to a Debian derivative, I started liking how it worked and enjoyed using it more that I did either Windows, Red Hat or Free BSD-3.5. As soon as Debian 3.0, became stable, I now had a DSL connection so I was able make an installation CD and get started learning the Debian way. It's been my goto distro since, to this day. I've played around with many different distros, It's what Linux users do, however, I've always ran Debian from that time on.
While I have quite a few computers, I do enjoy tinkering with Raspberry Pi's. I think I may have six of them. My first three are the 3B+ versions. The others are the 4B-pluses. Here again I get the chance to learn different systems simultaneously. I've noticed that even when running, at the time, Raspbian there were glitches and weirdness experienced from time to time. I've noticed the same types of bugs and glitches using Debian, Raspberry Pi OS and Ubuntu. A reminder, I'm referring to the Raspberry Pi at this time. All these pre-mentioned OSes work just fine on traditional hardware. I have noticed that I did experience stability on the Pi, when once I installed Fedora on it. Fedora was the first distro to release a 64 bit OS for the Pi a few years back and I tested it and was impressed. I just didn't want to relearn Red Hat Linux all over again. Which leads me here. I was beginning to think I had some bad hardware because of the unusual little bugs that I would find, so I wanted to test other distribution's ports for the Pi.
The first one I tested was the Manjaro Linux port. I installed it right from the Raspberry Pi running Raspberry Pi OS, using rpi-imager and installed it directly to a hard drive. There were a few options, one was a fully developed KDE install, a XFCE version and my choice, which was a lite version without the GUI. At first boot, I was impressed. The Manjaro port was intuitive and well coded. It booted directly from the USB hard drive and it was smooth and stable. Now I'd like to disclose that I wasn't a fan of Manjaro or Arch for that matter, which had nothing to do with them really, it's just that I wasn't ready to learn a new distro just then. My Pine Phone is the Manjaro Community Edition and as quickly as I could, I installed Mobian. So, for me being impressed with Manjaro running on a Pi, is huge for me. Naturally I was expecting something to fuck up and pressed my luck often. Only nothing. The little engine just could. I still have Debian boxes here in the shop doing their jobs, indeed, I still have the Debian install on it's hard drive just sitting idle. Working with Manjaro gave me loads of insight and experience on how to have my way with an Arch like system and so, not satisfied to run Manjaro if I could run Arch, I decided to bootstrap it to the Pi. It wasn't exactly smooth sailing at first, because it failed to find the USB drive, although I must admit, that when installed to a SD card it's flawless. That wasn't good enough for me so, I copied /boot to /boot.orig copied the /boot contents from my Manjaro system and copied the /lib/modules/$KERNEL from the Manjaro to the Arch. It booted up then. Eventually I fixed it so that now it's running the Arch Kernel in the repo and I installed it using pacman. So it's working great. It's as rock solid on the Pi as the Manjaro Linux port is. I'm really impressed. Now I can seem to keep my hands off of it. Sometimes I have problems installing some of the same packages that I know I've installed on my Manjaro disk. All I do for that, is, fire up my Manjaro system download the PKGBUILD using yay, then I transfer it to my Arch Linux box and build it using the PKGBUILD that I know works and that has been working fine. So it's good to keep similar systems around for that very same reason.
My point is, I was a little hasty in my judgement of Arch Linux and Manjaro and I had essentially rejected them as not being useful to me. I was wrong again, happily so and the distros I refused have become my saviours and favorites to currently work with.
Even though the once loyal and considered traditional, Nation Football League, have gone woke, there is at least one current player there that I am still interested in. That would be the over achieving, Tom Brady. I love his work ethic and his obvious, working brain and mind. I remember how, on February 7, of this year, the date of Superbowl LV, I was totally alone in my belief that despite the odds, Brady and his team would come off victorious. It's been a long road with me and Brady. I came to love his style after years, if not a decade or two, watching him murder my Team, the hapless New York Jets time and again. Then he was the Quarterback for the New England Patriots who are in our division. So we were guaranteed to play them at least twice a season. I listened to the game and I was relieved that Brady and his new team, are playing better each week and I hope they can go all the way.
That was Sunday. On Monday I was happy to see New York City (NYC), workers taking to the streets to protest the tyranny of government overreach, regarding vaccine mandates. While I'm happy to see it, I suspect that it is more show than will. I see them caving to the pressure, at least a significant sum of them. One will see what happens on the deadline date, which will be on Friday 29th, of this month. I'd like to see them prove me wrong, as that reality would encourage me to believe that the will to fight, struggle, seek truth, freedoms, liberties and rights, is still alive and virile in this Nation. However I am encouraged, show or not, to witness it here in the communist, authoritarian, hell of New York City. The State of New York is a beautiful robust state with, I think, twenty million souls, nine million of them live in what is essentially known as New York City. Because of there population, their voting habits infect the way, of the rest of the state. There is a movement afoot, that is trying to break the state up into three autonomous regions where the population centers strangle hold on our culture and politics will be mitigated. As an avid student of history, I've yet to see powerful men dismantling their power base willingly, therefore, although I support the Divide_NYS movement, I'd be the first one stunned to see it happen without us applying loads of pressure and perhaps extortion, blackmail and war. However, I'm keeping my fingers crossed and my wits and will about me.
I don't use any of the cancel culture fascist social media platforms any longer, so on Mastodon, Gab, Hubzilla, Minds, MeWe and a few others, I mostly made fun of Dr. Fauci and any other low hanging fruit democrats I could target. I also highlighted the NYC protest, which I'm sure was an encouraging sign for patriots outside of New York, since it is both unexpected and utterly ignored by the pro-tyranny media. Now there's a word that needs to be coined and entered into the English language and dictionaries, protyranny. I like that word. Not it's meaning mind you, but it's efficient description of tyranny's allies and proponents. I think I speak for many patriots now, when I say, that we are at war. No shots have been officially fired as yet, but mark my words we are in a battle for our lives and freedoms and currently we believe that we have no other choice but to use our God, Constitution, wits, will and fortitude to guide us. No longer shall we coddle our foes. We must devise clever means for their defeat and gird our loins for the long haul. This is where the enemies of freedom have taken this place and we most humbly accept the terms.
Oh, I almost forgot, I watched that video The Closer, that stand up comedy show done by Dave Chappelle, the comedian who has the LGBTQ crew all in a tizzy. The same WokeFlix workers who didn't bat an eyelash when their company were pimping child sex videos with their series called Cuties. revealing that they're even more fake that we summarized. However, I digress, my original point was to be, if anyone should be offended, it should be whites, Trump supporters and people who find the word “nigger” offensive. It's seems that those groups seem to be able to take a joke though. I found it to be mildly entertaining since I think, I laughed maybe four times and I smiled through much of it.
Well, enough ranting. I must read reams of logs now to see where I and my servers stand. Adieu my Lords and Ladies, until we meet again. Which I hope is daily Take care of yourselves and remember, that humans thrive in freedom. Let me know if you find any typos, misspelled words, or grammatical errors, wont you? I hate those, but sadly I'm but a faulty human creation so I make mistakes constantly. Please, let me know. Below I'll leave some links to the images of the NYC protest from yesterday. Obviously they'll be HTTP links so, act accordingly.
On Christmas Eve the domain name mstdn.design will expire. The new name will be mstdn.art. I'll make sure to update all notices and I figured that I should post it here first.
Has Alec Baldwin or any other commie lefty in Hollywood ever supported the second amendment of the United States Constitution, the NRA or the God given freedoms that has been a part of this nation throughout the centuries? Why are the Hollywood lefties playing with guns anyway, don't they hate them? No, Hollywood, the press and the democrat party have all been profiting from our freedoms and they like them so much that they aim to enslave the rest of us and keep those freedoms for a select few only.
It is alleged that Baldwin shot and killed a woman on a movie set and one hopes that he is getting the scrutiny that the average gun owner and family defender would, under the same circumstances. Too often, especially in recent times, it's as if there is suddenly a two tiered judicial and legal system. One system where rich democrats can do no harm and the other one for the rest of us.
Not only is Baldwin a gun toting murdering hypocrite, he's a greedy capitalist as well. According to the work crews at the scene of the movie enterprise, working conditions were not great. Knowing what types of perverts these Hollywood democrats are who knows what the real story is. I'm sure there's more than meets the eye going on here. The media, obviously cannot be trusted, let's hope the local cops are allowed to get to the truth here and fry this bum. That's what they'd do to any of us for the least little offenses he deserves to get the same treatment.
The 18 GOP members who voted for this monstrosity Saturday:
First of all let me state that I in no way obtained the permission of either Mark Steyn nor Imprimus for the blatant use of this article. This article is the very embodiment of how my thoughts on this very matter are comprised. Were I a better writer or any writer at all, I too, would be able to state this case as clearly as Steyn does. However, that would take several lifetimes and none of us have that luxury. Therefore I've ripped it off word for word and hereby, so acknowledge. The original article may be found here.
The following is adapted from a speech delivered on April 26, 2021, at a Hillsdale College National Leadership Seminar in Franklin, Tennessee.
I live about 20 minutes south of the Canadian border, which used to be called the longest undefended frontier in the world. People moved freely back and forth across it all day every day. But now it’s been closed for over a year. At one point my daughter asked me to drive her up there, because there was a 30-minute opportunity for people on one side to talk to their friends on the other. “Sad!” as President Trump would say. It was like Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin during the Cold War, except that both sides are now like East Berlin. I don’t know how this happened, but it is just one indication that America, and the West in general, have become almost unrecognizable from what they were not that long ago. Look at just three things we have lost.
One is equality before the law, something absolutely essential to a free society. In its place, we now have politicized law. If a policeman fatally shoots someone, whether his name is released to the public depends on whether the shooting is consistent with the preferred narrative of the ruling class. A policeman recently took down a young woman who was threatening the life of another young woman with a knife, and that policeman was immediately identified—indeed, his photo was posted and he was threatened by NBA superstar LeBron James on Twitter. On the other hand, we know nothing of the policeman who shot dead an unarmed woman in the U.S. Capitol on January 6. His name will apparently never be released to the public.
Second, border control. Functioning societies, at least since the Peace of Westphalia three centuries ago, have borders. America has no southern border and no plans to get one. The official position of our government seems to be that any of the seven billion persons on this planet has a right to come and stay in the U.S. for three years, until his or her assigned court date comes up. As the number of people with pending cases continues to grow, that three years will extend out to five or seven or 15 years. If we get all seven billion people to come here, the court system will break down entirely and maybe we can go back to having a functioning border.
And third, dare I bring up the fact that it is a real question whether we can go back to agreeing to have open and honest elections? And if we don’t have open and honest elections, control of our borders, and equality before the law, then we don’t have the conditions for politics or free government.
And here’s the thing. It is not at all clear to me that many of America’s conservative politicians understand the seriousness of all this. You can see it in the fact that they go around trying to scare people with the specter of a “radical socialist agenda.” For well over a year now, we have been living in a world in which it’s accepted as normal that the state has essentially unlimited power—and in which our freedom to decide for ourselves has been diminished almost to invisibility. Why do these conservative politicians think the words “radical socialist agenda” still scare anyone in a time when the state can tell us whether we can have Aunt Mabel over for Christmas? They are completely out of touch.
Over the same period as the pandemic lockdowns, we have seen an escalation of so-called wokeness. And if you look at one of the most startling manifestations of this, transgender fanaticism—which involves, after all, the abolition of biological sex and, I’m sorry to have to say it, the physical mutilation of children—one notices that America is farther down this road than any other country in the Western world. In other words, at this moment of crisis for Western Civilization, or for what we used to call Christendom, the leading country of the free world is pulling the wrong way.
Think of it. Your daughter has been training since she was a little girl to run in school sports. Now at 17, she’s in the state high school track championships, and you are forbidden even to notice that she’s competing against a woman who is 6’2” with thighs like tugboats, a great touch of five o’clock shadow on her face, and the most muscular bosom you’ve ever seen. You’re not supposed to notice the craziness of this, and the craziness is at its craziest right here in America.
We traditionally think of France as being a bit screwy, but today there are French intellectuals who regard themselves as hardcore leftists and yet who think America has gone bonkers on this transgender issue. President Macron himself has said that American wokeness is an existential threat to the French Republic, and he even found bureaucrats in France’s education bureaucracy who agreed. There is not a single bureaucrat in the Department of Education in Washington, D.C., who would agree, but there are apparently a few in Paris.
If you look further east in Europe to the lands that were once behind the Iron Curtain—to Hungary, Poland, and the Czech Republic, which still function as conventional nation-states calculating their best interests—you find tremendous fear of the threat of wokeness that is being exported, sometimes aggressively, from America. So it is here in the U.S. where we have to put the stake through these ideas.
But again, even most of our conservative leaders and institutions seem oblivious. School districts in America are talking about revising their curricula to cover transgender issues from grade school on. Now, I went to an English boys’ school, and we were expected to pick up sexuality on our own time. In those days people would have looked puzzled if you had said, “We’re going to have to cancel geography or Latin, because we need to put gay studies in there.” These days, instead of going off behind the bike shed during recess to learn about sex, kids need to sneak behind the bike shed to do a little bit of closeted geography or closeted Latin. It’s completely backwards. And yet what do we hear from most conservative politicians? That it would be nice to offer people a tax cut!
We are way beyond tax cuts. We’re broke. We’re just a smidgen away from $30 trillion in federal debt—something with no historical precedent. Talking about tax cuts today is like talking about VAT tax refunds on the Titanic. It’s not actually what’s necessary at the moment.
Another big issue that should take our minds off tax cuts is China. I can’t get over the way we in the U.S. have been ordered by our governors and the CDC to punish ourselves by living small, shrunken lives, while the people in China who loosed this pandemic on the world have paid no price for it.
Dr. Fauci has been a federal government bureaucrat since 1968. He’s the J. Edgar Hoover of public health. He talks about the COVID virus as if we’re at war. But he seems to think a country wins a war by taking it out on its own population rather than the enemy, which is what we’ve done.
Which do you think was the only major economy to grow in 2020? It’s not a hard question. America’s economy shrank 3.5 percent last year. The economies of Germany and Japan shrank almost five percent. France’s, Italy’s, and India’s economies all shrank over eight percent, and the economy of the United Kingdom was down ten percent. China’s economy, on the other hand, grew 2.3 percent in 2020, and first quarter growth for 2021 in China set a new world record—it was up over 18.3 percent. The COVID pandemic has been hugely profitable for China.
U.S. policy towards China since the 1990s represents perhaps the biggest strategic miscalculation by any great power in human history. Just as communism was wobbling and beginning to fall everywhere else, we helped Beijing come up with the first economically viable form of communism.
At first we were told it was only our manufacturing that we would ship to China. After all, we were told, it wasn’t economically viable for Americans to make widgets. Remember the talk in the ’90s? We were going to be the “knowledge economy.” All the clever people told us this. We weren’t going to have mills and factories, but we were going to be the knowledge economy. Well, in case you haven’t noticed, China’s got the entire knowledge economy for itself now. It makes our laptops and our smartphones and it’s out front with Huawei and 5G. It also makes the batteries that power our gizmos and the chips that run our cars. When COVID struck, we found out fast that the Chinese not only make our viruses, they also make the personal protective equipment that protects us against the viruses—and all of our medicines to boot! Those wily Chinese get you both coming and going.
China is now the number one global power. You can define this militarily, where it now has the largest surface fleet on the planet. You can define it economically. But the way I define it is to look at who gets its way in the world. New Zealand has just effectively pulled out of the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing arrangement—an arrangement between the U.S., the U.K., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, the oldest such arrangement on the planet. New Zealand has pulled out with respect to China because it doesn’t want to offend China. I would think Canada might be the next to go. Or look at the World Health Organization. America pays for it, but Chairman Xi in Beijing calls the shots. China gets its way now, and the U.S. doesn’t.
We need politicians with a sense of urgency about these problems, but all they seem to have is urgency about things that aren’t urgent. Look at climate change. People say we need to take action over climate change or else rising sea levels are going to overwhelm the Maldives in the Indian Ocean in the 22nd century. That’s the century after this one, which is still quite young. These same people say about the immediate crisis on the southern border that it’s “a natural phenomenon beyond the control of politicians.” But changing the weather in order to lower the sea levels that will threaten the Maldives in the Indian Ocean in the next century is within the power of politicians? In general, our leaders are urgent about nothing that matters and not in the least bit urgent about things that matter very much.
The things our news media talks about incessantly, whether it’s transgender bathrooms or Confederate statues being toppled or the totally dishonest national conversation on race—nothing like this is heard in China as it goes along steadily strengthening its position as the world’s leading power. The Chinese don’t find themselves stuck in these sterile, drain-circling, dishonest public conversations about identity politics. These conversations are a waste of time. And one thing we should demand of our politicians is that they talk about things that aren’t a waste of time.
At the root of our problems is that we have seen the emergence of a true ruling class, like Grand Dukes in medieval Europe. Its members intermarry. They send their kids to the same schools. They circulate back and forth between government and the private sector. And over time it has become increasingly easy to identify members of this class.
John Kerry gave a commencement address a couple of years ago in which he told the students, “You are going to be the first generation to live in a borderless world.” And for the elite, the idea of a borderless world rings true. A typical member of the ruling class will get a job with a firm like Goldman Sachs, work for a couple of years in Hong Kong, then move on for a couple of years in Geneva, and then maybe come back to America. What are borders to such a person? Meanwhile, for the common American, COVID has literally ended, to a large degree, any freedom of movement. They live in the farthest thing from a borderless world. Oftentimes they’re trapped in a town that is dying because of the open-border, cheap-labor policies advocated by people like John Kerry.
Our political division in America today is a class division, and we need to expose it as such whenever we see it. The ruling class tries to keep racial and other forms of division stirred up in our politics so that we don’t notice the class protection racket they are running. Look at that guy from Twitter, Jack Dorsey, who wears a beard like he’s playing the hobo in a Charlie Chaplin silent film. I wouldn’t mind betting that when he’s called to testify in Congress, he has his valet hook on the beard and lower him into the clothes that make him look like he’s been sleeping in a dumpster. Then at night after the cameras are off he’s like Lord Grantham in Downton Abbey, spending an hour being dressed for dinner. Our elites have become incredibly good at theater.
Getting back to the southern border, it perfectly symbolizes the bifurcation of our society. We’re told there’s a health emergency. We’re told we can’t open our businesses or attend weddings or funerals. Yet at the same time, every day, thousands of people pour across the southern border, test positive for COVID, and are then driven to a nice hotel and put up there at taxpayers’ expense.
It’s also interesting to compare the southern border with the northern. Prior to the pandemic, when the border with Canada was open, my kids had their Kinder Eggs confiscated by the Department of Homeland Security when we would cross the border going south into Vermont. Kinder Eggs are chocolate eggs witha kid’s toy inside. They are sold in Canada, but they are banned in the U.S. because the Food and Drug Administration calls the toy a “non-nutritive embed”—and that’s good enough to send Homeland Security agents swinging into action! There is always a big crackdown before Easter on Kinder Eggs. So at the northern border there are lots of things, down to Kinder Eggs, that are illegal. But at the southern border you can come in with pretty much anything you want, including COVID. Why is that? It is because some groups serve the needs of the ruling class and others don’t. License is extended to the former and not the latter.
People ask me, “Why are you going on about Kinder Eggs? They’re not important. It’s more important that so-and-so is up two points in Iowa and three pointsin New Hampshire. That could be a real game changer.” To which I answer no, that’s not how it works. If they take the small freedoms away from you, whether it’s the freedom to eat Kinder Eggs or to enjoy a high pressure shower,you will lose all the larger freedoms, which is the world we’re in now.
I used to get occasional pushback when I’d talk about rights. “Rights are abstract things,” people would say—“they don’t have anything to do with our real lives.” Well, after the last year, we know they have everything to do with our real lives. When you’re told you can’t open your hair salon, when you’re told you can’t have family or friends over for dinner, when you’re told you must wear a mask in your own garden, there’s nothing abstract about it. This is where all the stupid Kinder Egg laws have been trending for years. And it’s why we need to push back.
I made a little joke earlier about studying transgenderism in grade school, but it’s not a laughing matter. Education is the biggest structural defect in our society. We have an almost entirely corrupt and abusive education establishment. And in one corner of Governor Whitmer’s Michigan, of all places, Hillsdale College stands against this. Hillsdale’s literature, I’ve noted through the years, talks a lot about the College’s 177 years of being rooted in the soil of Michigan. And this reminds me of the fact that if you do not have roots, you are not a functioning society. You can’t just be flotsam and jetsam, bobbing around on the currents of the age, wheresoever they tend. If you do that, you’re cut off from your roots.
This is what’s so frightening about the trends in education today. Cromwell told his portrait painter, “Paint me, warts and all.” That’s not what is happening in America, where the trend in education is to paint only America’s warts. So even the great Kate Smith, who sang “God Bless America” for years, is having her statue taken down because she made a racially insensitive record in 1931. Well you know who really had a racially insensitive record in 1931? The Democratic Party. But unlike Kate Smith’s statue, it’s still around.
President Macron of France is not my favorite chap—he’s a sinister globalist for one thing. But he made an admirable stand when he announced that not one French statue would be taken down and not a single French street name would be changed, because they are all part of French history. And “Bingo!” as Peter Navarro likes to say, the statue toppling and street-name changing in France went away. Why can’t American conservatives show that kind of strength? The Senate Minority Leader says he personally would not be bothered if the historical names of U.S. military bases are changed. The editor of National Review says that he wouldn’t be bothered about taking down Confederate statues. But of course it doesn’t stop there—now they’re going for all the statues. Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, McKinley, and on and on. The point conservatives need to grasp is, unless you’re prepared to surrender everything, don’t surrender anything.
I’ll end by pointing out that the Left wins because it seizes language. Take the policy of letting people vote who are not U.S. citizens and shouldn’t be voting. The Left calls this policy “counting every vote.” Therefore someone who wants to make sure voters are citizens is opposed to “counting every vote.” If we don’t take back the language, we will lose the truth. Even on FOX News, I have noticed, news anchors now talk about “gender assigned at birth,” as if that’s something different from one’s biological sex. There may be 57 genders, but there are only two biological sexes.
Don’t surrender the language. Reclaim the language. It’s the first step to recovering our civilization.
Gross right? No, not so fast. I'll relate my experiences in making my own calcium supplements. Now, I've written about how to make one's own vitamin C powder too, in a previous post and this post is in the same vein. Whenever I crack open my eggs, I put them back into the carton for safe keeping. Once all the eggs are gone, the eggshells should be boiled for at least five minutes. The boiling process is for killing any potential pathogens that undoubtedly inhabit the shells and carton. The next step, is to dry the shells in an oven at temperatures between 150 degrees and 200 degrees, until they are dry. They can be left in the oven until they cool. Once cooled the can be ground to a fine powder using a coffee grinder or similar device and placed in a suitable jar.
Now, eggshells, ground up or not aren't the most appetizing or pleasant substance to eat. It's a little disturbing, unless, one is determined. However, if one purchases empty capsule shells then they can be filled with your powered calcium supplements and then they can be swallowed, which will make the experience much less terrifying. Using a mini scale to measure dosage would work nicely too but could be optional, although, recommended for accuracy. The recommended daily allowance for calcium varies with age and gender. So those interested should look it up. However, I think that a dosage of 500-1200mg daily should suffice for most people.
