Fall equinox (22sep18, 1845PDT) observance preparations should be completed in time by the devout and/or deluded for tomorrow evening’s passage of the sun directly overhead (somewhere) at the equator on its journey south for our fall and winter seasons.  (This is a public service announcement.)


Gun violence promoters have their open borders advocacy exposed by the recently published murder rates in various countries and global regions.  Latin America and the Caribbean are homes to the most rapacious criminal killers on earth, and our Left would like to welcome as many of them to the US as possible so that they can help foment and promote their ideological narrative along many fronts.  The graphic illustrates.

GunViolence2016

True to alt-Left’s form, Judge Kavanaugh’s accuser along with congressional scum-critters are now demanding that the accused must testify first, before his accuser.  The only place where this kind of ‘legal jurisprudence’ has been faithfully practiced is in the communist show trials introduced by Stalin in the 1930s.  And some useful idiots hereabouts still maintain that the Democratic Party has recently migrated toward the center.

[22sep18 update]  The Antifa, in their own words, are finished with activism and now call for a violent revolution to overthrow the US government.  Check out more here.  I’m still waiting for someone to point out where any Americans seeking to preserve our constitutional government (aka the ‘Hard Right’ according to our Left) are calling for such a response to what they oppose in our national dialogue.

RL Crabb, our beloved left-lurched cartoonist, continues to promote the myth that the League of Women Voters remains a non-partisan voter information organization.  The evidence for that disappeared years ago (more here).  And, of course, his constant anti-Republican drumbeat never wavers as again witnessed by his 22sep18 anti-LaMalfa contribution filched from The Union.  The newspaper’s more moderating take on Congressman LaMalfa reads – We were there when a raucous crowd shouted over LaMalfa at a town hall meeting about health care held at the Nevada County Fairgrounds. The congressman showed up and took his lumps. … Like him or not, LaMalfa deserves credit for knowingly walking into a hostile environment and listening to angry constituents lob loaded questions and, at times, insults.

RLCrabb180922The Reverend Becky Goodwin, who also sits on The Union’s editorial board, writes a sincere ‘why can’t we all get along?’ appeal to Americans (here).  She cites how much more divisive we are compared to other lands she has visited without evincing so much as a whiff about such lands sharing common and more cohesive cultures, values, mores, and social objectives.  In America’s recent rush to attract millions without assimilation, today we are a land of peoples who are less and less inclined to see or mix with others not like themselves in a land that now revels in self-flagellation.  

[23sep18 update]  Another dimension of lamestream’s fake news is illustrated with their reporting of the Kavanaugh confirmation imbroglio.  The scumbag journalists, to continue their Dr Ford allegations support, report the ongoing stream of third persons who on a Day1 bring forth some ‘evidence’ to support Ford’s allegations, and then on a Day2 walk it back or have it disproven.  The scumbags keep the news item alive by repeatedly reporting that on Day1 so-and-so said this damning thing about Kavanaugh.  That is technically correct, but also completely fake news since the retraction on Day2 is omitted from the report.  This has been a constant practice of yellow journalists for as long as I can remember, and one of the many hues of lying (here).  This helps explain how the lamestream manipulates the light-thinking population that today polls in favor of Dr Ford’s allegations.

Russia becomes world’s leading wheat exporter.  Having lifted the heavy hand of communism and state control of agriculture, the Russian farmers are again making farming a profitable undertaking, last enjoyed before the Bolshevik revolution, by planting what the market demands and using the latest farm equipments and fertilizers.  Meanwhile the American farmer suffers under a strong dollar and the unresolved Trump’s tariff tussles.  (more here)

[24sep18 update]  The hubris and historical innocence of Wired magazine, which on its 25th anniversary Oct2018 cover heralds its featured article – “For 25 years, technology has turned the world upside down and inside out.  Now the icons of the digital revolution tell us who will shake up the next 25.”  In 1993 the then icons of the digital revolution didn’t have clue of what came to pass in the last 25 years.  Today’s icons will have even less of an idea for the next 25 years, simply because technology development is accelerating in a manner most serendipitous.  We ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

[26sep18 update]  Even the NYT (aka the Bible of Liberals) now recognizes the impact of national debt and its service cost on our federal budget and the economy – better late than never.  For those readers who have wailed about the unfair treatment of Obama’s doubling the national debt by citing what happened under predecessor Bush2, I invite your attention to the graphic in the NYT piece here.

    “I’m grateful he was an illegal immigrant because our federal government will give him 10 more years. So that’s 26 years he’ll spend in prison for what he did,” Monroe said according to FOX 59.”

    I thought we did not negotiate with terrorists. Why bother so have the dog and pony show in the first place since no Dem would ever vote for Kavanaugh before the letter or after the letter. Changes nothing. At least she will get tenure out of this, and a whole lot more. Should get 50k a speech on the D list circuit and a hefty book advance for starters.
    Figure since the Libs tie all Identity to the group, it will be sexual assault and harassment on trial, not the indivual. They are going by the guilty til proven innocent kangeroo court playbook straight from our college campuses. In the end, it will be a composite picture painted, just like The Rolling Stones article. It could be true and it has happened to other ladies, so here is Christine representing thousands of others with a bit of that lady over there, a bit of this lady over here, and all these parts of other stories and other women melded all together into one. Yep, Rolling Stones article all over again and the bad guy is the one who was not sensitive to the plight.
    Everybody wants to hear what she has to say. Every Dem says they believe her before she even speaks, which by default means Kavanaugh is guilty…before he or she even speaks. So, why negotiate with terrorists? This is the US Senate that her lawyers and the Unhinged are stopping dead in their tracks…just like make believe on campus…except now we are in the real world….not Evergreen State College or Duke.

    I think t he fearful Ford is afraid of her own shadow. But, her biggest fear is lying to the Senate panel. That is where she has to be very careful. She says it was an attempted assault, then she tells two friends an assault happened. Can’t be both. She is lawyering up to avoid the perjury trap. It’s ok to lie to the Wa Post and creepy journalists lie all the time. But, if the FBI asked her friends (character witnesses) and those friends lied, they will be charged. So, she is must be very very careful…especially since there is zero forensic evidence.
    But, to answer your question, yes, Dr. Ford is afraid of the Dems. She cannot back out now or she will be blamed for Kavanaugh’s confirmation and the Left will never forgive her, ever. They will do to her exactly what they do to Cindy Sheehan, but a heck of a lot worse. She will never feel safe anywhere again if she does not do and say exactly what she is told to do by the Globalistc and America haters. Otherwise, they will chew her up, beat on her with the ugly stick, and shun her til the day she is found floating under the Santa Cruz pier. It’s who they are. They are gangsters. She has lost all say in the matter. She is caught up is something so much bigger than her.
    There is no need to come down hard on Dr. Ford. If it was not Christine Ford, it would be Christine Chevy or Christine Dodge, or Christine Jeep. She is just a pawn on the chess board. Yes, Christine Ford has much to fear from the Left. They are the party of Marx, Engels, Stalin, Alinsky, Bill Ayers, and….fill in the blank. Remember that old video of Valerie Jarret giving a speech and telling the audience when she finds herself feeling down, she just thinks of Chairman Mao for inspiration. That is who Dr. Ford must please now. She has lost al say in the matter. To make matters worse, she has thrown out an allegation without anyway to meet the burden of proof.

    No corroboration from any quarter –
    12:10 a.m.
    The lawyer for a woman who Brett Kavanaugh’s accuser has said attended the 1980s party at which he allegedly molested her has told Senate Republican investigators that the woman doesn’t recall such a gathering or know the Supreme Court nominee.
    The Washington Post reports Saturday that Christine Blasey Ford told them that Leland Keyser was at that high school party.
    A GOP Judiciary Committee investigator contacted Keyser last Tuesday, saying Keyser had been “identified” as attending that party and wanted to talk to her. Committee spokesman Taylor Foy said Keyser’s name “came up” in its investigation.
    But in an email late Saturday, Keyser attorney Howard Walsh told the committee she “does not know Mr. Kavanaugh and she has no recollection” of ever attending a gathering with Kavanaugh.
    That response seemed a setback to Ford supporters’ efforts to corroborate her claim.

    Re update: Russian wheat and state control.
    “Farmers received the freedom to do business in the way they thought most efficient,” said Andrei Sizov Jr., managing director of SovEcon. “The role of the state was quite muted in the last 10 years, and that was good for the industry.”
    Thank you for posting the article, Dr. Rebane. I have been saying for decades (at least since the early 1980’s) that if the Soviet Union, now Russia, could come up with a good ole Yankee distrubtion system, the Russians would be selling wheat in Kansas. Folks scoffed at the notion. But under the Soviet controlled Ag industry, 1,000s of metric tons of Soviet wheat rotted on the docks, year after year. Whether it was China or Russia or North Korea, or even the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, the first thing the Marxist/Socialists did was confiscate the land and turn the the farmland into government run “collectives”, thus stifling production, output, and incentives to work harder than at half steam. How many 5 year plans did they come up with the same results? Don’t know exactly how many five year plans, but all my life until the fall of the Berlin Wall the Russians or Chinese were always announcing another five year plan, lol.
    Not saying they will be selling wheat in Kansas anytime soon, but as the means of,production is loosen by the Almighty State, things appear that someday it may be a possibility. Redo the distrubtion system, have low cost loans for farmers to buy/upgrade equipment, add some government subsidies where needed for “seed money”, purchase new plant ready seeds, and buy some more of those good ole Yankee ingenuity John Deere tractors, aka, what the Russians call ‘The Green Machines’. And let the farmer make some rubles to keep for himself and give back to his community, voluntarily.
    One thing the article said that raised eyebrows was the farmer hired just 10 farmlands but three security guards. Three security guards? Guess human nature is human nature universally, but that is for another story. There are a lot of stolen machinery in our neck of the woods as well.
    As we move closer to the state controlling more of the means and production, the Russians are backing off that plan, if ever so slightly. The point of diminishing returns is reached the day a collective is formed. 🙂
    And now, a favorite Russian story, worth repeating as the Democrat Socialists of America is forming to become a future politician party:
    There was guaranteed employment in the former USSR. The State control the means and production. A Party bureaucrat from on high was in charge of Soviet underwear production. Each factory produced an equal amount of underwear for men and women. Women, for reasons unknown, buy 5 times the amount of underwear than men. So, the Soviets had a shortage of women’s underwear and an oversupply of men’s underwear filling the warehouses to the rafters. That be government, the God of the Marxists, Stalinists, and Maoists.
    Wheat rotting on the docks, and warehouses filled with unsold men’s underwear.
    Last quote of the article is priceless….well, it came with a price…the fall of the USSR.
    “One recent morning, a man dropped by Mr. Mishurov’s farmyard office to cadge a bucket of corn for his hens. It was a former collective farm boss.”

    Well Steve, the song was about 1814. Did like the improvisation the US used down in New Orleans. Position our forces behind barricades of cotton bales and when the Redcoats fired their cannons, we would dig the cannon balls out of the cotton and fire them back on Her Majesty’s Army, the greatest fighting force in the World at the time. That’s why we call it Old Europe. A good soldier will improvise, especially when he is low on cannon balls. 🙂

    The League of Women Voters, Townhalls, and why can’t we all just get along?
    It amazes me that after all the road apples the Leftinistas have hurled at us on the Right and all the piles of horse pucky they have dumped on our heads to bury us alive, that they would even think that we would want to have anything to do with them. That would be crazy. Crazier than they are. That would be the definition of clinically sane. Talking is done. Fuck them.
    Sure, if someone is running for local office and has to show up at one of those Leauge of Cracked Head Voters shout fests, then so be it. But otherwise, why even bother to talk to the delusional mental ill on the Left anymore? They continue to grow worse, never better. They actually think they are mainstream, lol. They heap on the abuse a mile high then wonder why we don’t want to talk with them, be around them, nor even look at them for one cursed second. Talking is done. Fuck them.
    We have the FUE, a person so disgusting that when he walks down the street the first thing that comes to people’s mind is “Look at that freak of nature”. You have KVMR’s own “news director” that spent hours upon hours ragging about Melania’s shoes. Think about that. A grown man spending hours upon hours freaking out over the First Lady’s shoes. That is mental institution stuff. Yet, they wonder why we don’t follow their lead.
    They cannot for the life of them figure out why we want to stay the hell away from them.
    We can go own from there and see their leaders in the basement of the outhouse barking out orders. They are covered in shit and think they clean. Beam me up, Scotty. And they actually believe they are the self appointed arbitrators of truth, morality, and fairness? What a pathetic lot they are. The League of Women Voters is just Antifa coming after you without hiding behind masks.

    In addition to having been a paralegal at DOJ, Hrabar is a top official at the Democratic Socialists of America’s Washington, D.C., chapter. Therein lies the rub as to what she was caught doing in the Project Veritas video: She was seen using official government resources for Democratic Socialists of America purposes.
    One particularly notable incident in which Hrabar was involved as a socialist activist was protesting Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen back in the mid-summer when she was eating a restaurant. Hrabar was one of the leftist activists who chased Nielsen out of a Mexican restaurant, screaming at her.

    Kavanaugh
    Doublespeak abounds. “Victim” solely refers to the accuser, not the accused, who one day was Brett Kavanaugh, a brilliant jurist and model citizen, and the next morning woke up transformed into some sort of Kafkaesque cockroach. The media and political operatives went in a nanosecond from charging that she was groped and “assaulted” to the claim that she was “raped.”
    In our 1984, the phrase “must be believed” is doublespeak for “must never face cross-examination.”
    Ford should be believed or not believed on the basis of evidence, not her position, gender, or politics. I certainly did not believe Joe Biden, simply because he was a U.S. senator, when, as Neal Kinnock’s doppelganger, he claimed that he came from a long line of coal miners — any more than I believed that Senator Corey Booker really had a gang-banger Socratic confidant named “T-Bone,” or that would-be senator Richard Blumenthal was an anguished Vietnam combat vet or that Senator Elizabeth Warren was a Native American. (Do we need a 25th Amendment for unhinged senators?) Wanting to believe something from someone who is ideologically correct does not translate into confirmation of truth.
    According to some polls, about half the country believes that Brett Kavanaugh is now guilty of a crime committed 36 years ago at the age of 17. And that reality reminds us that we are no longer in America. We are already living well into the socialist totalitarian Hell that Orwell warned us about long ago.
