Sandbox – 22sep20

[Reminder to keep all SCOTUS related comments under ‘Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg – RIP’ until President Trump announces her replacement nominee.  Then I’ll post a new commentary under which we can comment on and debate the ensuing congressional confirmation hullabaloo.  gjr]

    They must be having snow ball fights in hell again –
    King Salman of Saudi Arabia applauded the administration of President Donald Trump at the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday for its role in helping Arab states normalize relations with Israel.
    The Saudi head of state also appeared to definitively declare the Obama-era Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), or 2015 Iran nuclear deal, a failure.
    “The Kingdom welcomed the international efforts to deal with Iran’s nuclear program, but time and again, the entire world witnessed how the Iranian regime exploited these efforts in order to intensify its expansionist activities, create its terrorist networks, and use terrorism,” Salman said, “and in the process squandering the resources and wealth of the Iranian people for the purpose of its expansionist projects which produced nothing but chaos, extremism, and sectarianism.”
    “Our experience with the Iranian regime has taught us that partial solutions and appeasement did not stop its threats to international peace and security,” King Salman added. “A comprehensive solution and a firm international position are required to ensure fundamental solutions to the Iranian regime’s attempt to obtain weapons of mass destruction, and its ballistic missile program, and its interference in the international affairs of other countries, and its sponsorship of terrorism.”
    The king also appeared to support U.S.-led efforts to maintain strict sanctions on the Iranian regime, although here he did not mention Washington or President Trump.
    “If we intend to win in our battle against terrorism, we must not waiver in facing the countries that sponsor terrorism and sectarianism, and we must stand firmly in the face of these countries that promote transnational extremist ideologies, which rely on false political slogans to hide their extremist, chaotic, and destructive nature,” he said.

    Kamala Harris is hiding from the press. I note with great interest how Kamala’s tactic viz media mirrors and even surpasses that of Bumblebrain, who is actually more courageous in letting the country take the measure of his mental lapses. What equally corroborates the lamestream serving as DNC lackeys, is that none of them take note of her absence; it’s only FN that pays attention and reports on her unavailability. We also note that none of our liberal leaders care to comment on this anomaly.

    They back the wrong horse –
    A USA Today/Ipsos Poll that shows that a majority of the country is disgusted with the Antifa/Black Lives Matter rioters and the national media.
    This poll has not received the attention it deserves.
    Gee, can’t imagine why.
    After nearly four months of rioting at the hands of the left’s Brownshirts — the domestic terrorists in Antifa and Black Lives Matter, a full 64 percent of those polled said “they believe protesters and counter-protesters are overwhelming American cities.”
    And by “American cities,” we of course mean “Democrat-run cities.”
    What’s most interesting is nearly half of Democrats polled, a full 48 percent agree with that sentiment, compared to 83 percent for Republicans.
    What’s more, a whopping 59 percent of urban dwellers agree with that, compared to 71 percent of those who live in rural areas (where there are no riots because riots only happen where Democrats are in charge).
    More bad news for the Democrats and national media who have encouraged and stoked this unprecedented violence… More than half — a full 56 percent — “believe the government should deploy more police to get protests and unrest under control.”
    Wait, it gets even better…
    A clear majority of 54 percent “say people should arm themselves to protect private property during protests.”
    And now we get to my favorite number…
    When asked what is causing the violence or what “factors Americans say make protests more dangerous,” the institution at the tippy-top was the fake news media.
    “Six in 10 Americans say the mainstream media has made the protests more dangerous,” the poll tells us, “followed by the Black Lives Matter movement at 59% and President Donald Trump at 54%. A majority of Americans say Antifa (53%), conservative militias (52%), and conservative media (51%) contribute to protests becoming more dangerous.
    Only 29 percent say Rapey Joe Biden has made the protests more dangerous, but how much damage can an enfeebled old man do from his basement while watching Matlock reruns?
    Think about that… a full 60 percent of the country blame the media for increasing the violence, more even than the actual terrorist group responsible for the violence, Black Lives Matter.

    It wouldn’t surprise me if it’s possible to simply not allow registration of non-electric cars.
    The other mechanism is simply to make the emissions standards so high (at least the emissions that actually come out of the vehicle) that only electric meets the requirement. They’re halfway there already with how insanely complex a brand new car is to get small gains on the margin, you can pretty much count on your 2021 car not being around in 10 years due to impossibly high repair costs.

    re scenes 339pm – so what should the response of local law-abiding citizens be when their neighbors import violent ‘protestors’ and the local police stand down in enforcing the laws protecting private property, public access, and rioting? Do they just stand and watch their town being trashed, and then later go through the formal process of petitioning government to do its lawful duty? That has never been the American way throughout its history. Or don’t we want to talk about it?

    That’s really the heart of the matter, or at least one heart. So far you’ve seen areas where the police were forced to stand down by extremely left wing city officials where any civilian self defense is viewed as terrorism and heavily stepped on….and areas where the cops made sure nothing started containing less easily cowed civilians (plus places where nothing happens at all, probably a good place to invest in real estate).
    As Biden’s Army expands to the suburbs, you’ll run into the edge conditions. That’s where it gets interesting. Locally, I’d say that we tend heavily towards favoring the mob, although no doubt the rank and file LEO are on the side of law and order. It really hasn’t been pushed hard yet, so I dunno.
    This is all a ‘Red Scare’ of course, so I’m speaking hypothetically.

    The business with having the government dictate a technical solution, this time requiring electric cars, has been grinding at me.
    Besides the oddity that plug-in hybrids produce less CO2 than all-electric cars in nearly all grid architectures (https://afdc.energy.gov/files/u/publication/ev_emissions_impact.pdf) there’s the unfortunate fact that you are messing with a highly intertwined ecosystem.
    What gets dragged along with this is a huge, mandated, investment in grid, charging stations, power generation, power storage, changes in waste disposal, etc. It’s the kind of thing that the free market excels at, so long as you avoid village commons problems, and the gubmint is bad at.
    E-cars are coming nicely along on their own, thank you, although I’d prefer to see any subsidies dropped…they are set up to benefit the more wealthy. When you live in what is becoming a metastasized banana republic, that’s to be expected.
    No doubt some real fortunes will be made in the upheaval, luckily I expect the Governor has plenty of friends ready to take advantage.

    SUICIDE OF THE LIBERALS
    To these I now want to add Professor Morson’s First Things essay “Suicide of the liberals.” Drawing on his knowledge of Russian history and literature, Professor Morson observes the weakness of liberal reformers in the face of the revolutionary terrorists and their cadres to the left of the liberals. Professor Morson observes, for example:
    “How did educated, liberal society respond to such terrorism? What was the position of the Constitutional Democratic (Kadet) Party and its deputies in the Duma (the parliament set up in 1905)? Though Kadets advocated democratic, constitutional procedures, and did not themselves engage in ­terrorism, they aided the terrorists in any way they could. Kadets collected money for terrorists, turned their homes into safe houses, and called for total amnesty for arrested terrorists who pledged to continue the mayhem. Kadet Party central committee member N. N. Shchepkin declared that the party did not regard terrorists as criminals at all, but as saints and martyrs. The official Kadet paper, Herald of the Party of People’s Freedom, never published an article condemning political assassination. The party leader, Paul Milyukov, declared that “all means are now legitimate . . . and all means should be tried.” When asked to condemn terrorism, another liberal leader in the Duma, Ivan Petrunkevich, famously replied: “Condemn terror? That would be the moral death of the party!”
    Not just lawyers, teachers, doctors, and engineers, but even industrialists and bank directors raised money for the terrorists. Doing so signaled advanced opinion and good manners. A quote attributed to Lenin—“When we are ready to kill the capitalists, they will sell us the rope”—would have been more accurately rendered as: “They will buy us the rope and hire us to use it on them.” True to their word, when the Bolsheviks gained control, their organ of terror, the Cheka, “liquidated” members of all opposing parties, beginning with the Kadets. Why didn’t the liberals and businessmen see it coming?”
    That question has bothered many students of revolutionary movements. Revolutions never succeed without the support of wealthy, liberal, educated society….

    “According to these two sagas, the Vikings encountered a group of indigenous Amerindians, whom they called Skraelings, or ‘wretched ones’. The Norse traded red woollen textiles for animal pelts. That exchange marked a turning point in world history: it is the earliest documented encounter between the peoples living on opposite sides of the Atlantic.”
