https://instapundit.com/560968/ So some guy won a Congressional seat in New York and allegedly lied about his family, history, pretty much anything, and He's Not Joe*! You'd think a journalist might have investigated that, eh? I guess New York & the U.S. don't have any. Plus more! | ||

Progress in that Emotional Learning is hard to measure, so better than math, science, history, etc. An adjacent story to that on a Waffle House brawl was interesting. I didn’t hear the audio, but there were some active over-represented folks there. | ||

https://jewishworldreview.com/1222/hanson122922.ph p3 "The new, new antisemitism" I disagree with professor Hanson that the Klan is "right wing". I think that characterization is a post facto rewriting of history, like the current myth that National Socialists are right politically. And the growing lie that the Union of Soviet Socialist "Republics" are not socialist. That we've always been at war with Eurasia. That everything is But I agree with the rest of his article, the Left has always used hatred and specifically antisemitism as a core strategy to gain and keep power. | ||

I do not and would not suggest, ask you to, or demand, slapping the Congresscritter from Maryland, Ben Cardin. (Even though I think he might well deserve a Will Smith response to his public statements, I'd really suggest mockery and disrespect. ) Not because the Supreme Court has ruled such comments hate speech. But because it's wrong to make threats of violence. Period. I Will keep complaining that the Occupants Of Power in the Capitol are ideologically and logically wrong on many subjects and should be opposed by every legal means. And that making laws against such a comment is Unconstitutional and should not be tolerated or obeyed. To be fair, cynical disrespect is my default setting. And while I am biased about the 2 major Parties, it's very much in order of dislike vs. Partisanship.  | ||

https://www.encounterbooks.com/features/not-apolog ize-west/ Don't apologize to leftists. It does less than no good, it does harm! Your apology simply labels you as prey. They won't stop demanding submission. The above blanket statement DOES require you to be Aware that you might be in error. Not Woke! Self Aware. The difference is profound. You certainly should apologize if you are wrong. If you made a mistake. If you were intentionally rude to a polite person. Never apologize for the truth. Ever. My stock answer to the Offended is "I'm sorry you feel that way." What I really often mean, but usually are too polite to say, is "Grow the F@#$ up!". | ||

I'm lucky, they quit sending me to Woke Seminars at work after I made the poor guy cry at the first one they sent me to. I think it was when I quoted Aristophanes, or maybe Jughashvili, as I pointed out the errors in logic, fact, and history in his presentation. After that they had me cover for the employees forced to attend. I was also weirdly protected by ignorance on the multiple occasions I told upper management that the Emperor was naked when they came down to announce how the new policies would be great. ( to the vast amusement of middle management who had been forced by confusion to learn some of my more obscure today, insulting references ) ( overheard between supervisors, "Why are you laughing?" ... "You just got roasted and don't know it." ... "Huh?" ... "Look it up. Or ask him, I dare you." ... "What?!" ... ( chuckles ) ) | ||

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2023/01/02/nolt e-new-york-gov-hochul-reverses-course-telling-riva ls-to-move-to-florida/ Her mentor and former boss, Disgraced Ex-Governor Andrew Cuomo the First, also told every New Yorker that if they disagreed with any aspect of his grand vision, we should move away and leave His State. And that was before 14,000+ negligent homicides. He got rid of a lot of people who will never again vote against him. Or collect a State Pension. And that isn't in the stats of people fleeing high taxes, constricting expensive regulations, and a Commie Mayor who ordered lockdowns, but had his regular motorcade to his gym, because he's rich and gets what he wants, and screw you. Temporary Governor Kathy also cheered the attempted murder of her opponent during her campaign, and of course no investigation is needed, about any conspiracy theories about election fraud. Nope. But I'm biased. I live in the Imperium. So I've been asked to leave myself by, so far, one, Disgraced Ex-Governor. | ||

https://www.thecollegefix.com/professor-advises-st udents-to-report-scholars-who-bash-white-people-or -christians-to-dei-office/ If your State allows anonymous "red flag" complaints as a means to destroy the Second Amendment rights of it's citizens, then you should file such complaints against every member of the legislature and executive. Feel free to start with whatever sorting system you like, by Party, or geography, or whatever, but just keep on reporting ALL of them as risks to public safety, and you won't be wrong. I might also suggest that if the Government has a website to inform on dangerous people, that you use a burner phone to post the reports. I sure as heck feel threatened by "Those people" . | ||

https://redstate.com/kiradavis/2023/01/07/stop-you r-bellyaching-who-said-politics-should-be-cordial- n684902 I'm encouraged. As long as we can argue with passion and finally get a compromise, there's hope the system is still working. I'm perfectly happy for it to work in a slow clumsy way. The more time politicians argue, the less time they pass more laws to favor the rich who bribe them, and screw us. Sure, that's cynical, I have reason to be. Disrespectful? Sure! The popularity contest winners have to earn respect. They don't have or get any Divine Right of Royalty, here. ( although many think they do ) As long as it's loud and messy and we can mock them, we don't have to have another bloody revolution. And it's the information age. In East Germany, for example, if you were caught with a mimeograph machine, the Secret Police would arrest you. Now we have internet. At some point, if not already, some loon on 4Chan will have an updated list of every politician's home addresses online. The Next Revolution won't be mass riots. It will be Personal. I'm more than happy if that holds off until I'm long gone. | ||

I did some contract work for Schlumberger back in the early naughties. They require that you back into parking places everywhere on their property and everywhere if you are driving one of their vehicles. Their EHS folks determined that backing out of a space is riskier than backing in, so if you never back out, you’ll never have an accident while backing out. | ||

Their EHS folks determined that backing out of a space is riskier than backing in, so if you never back out, you’ll never have an accident while backing out. The USPS has a no backing policy. You get in an accident, while backing, they can fire you for violating policy. Sure, that's impossible. You have to back sometime. So you back into parking spots, and periodically, they actually ask you to identify where backing is needed. As far as the firing goes... If you clip something while backing into a spot, they get mildly upset, but reality is not ignored. If you back into a car backing out of a parking spot, you may indeed get fired, ( if they already are upset with you in other ways, a backing accident is a legit "last straw" even the Union can't help you with. ) If I can't find a pull through spot, I back in, unless I know I'm loading big stuff. I do like backing cameras. But I use them as an add on to the look with my eyes in a multi point, repeating, cycling, sequence. Not a replacement for the technique. | ||

https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2023/01/hou se-gop-causing-panic-on-the-left.php I t is precisely because the Rebel Alliance wants to have a greater voice in the “policy and legislative-bound” core of the House’s business that they demanded changes in the House rules that diminished the concentrated power in the Speaker. The unstated subtext of Freeman’s piece is that these “radical Republicans” might actually do something—something that she doesn’t approve. There’s another glaring irony of people like Freeman using the “radical Republican” label. The “radical Republicans” of the post-Civil War era were the ones who pursued genuine reconstruction and equal treatment for ex-slaves against the intransigent opposition of Democrats. So yeah—I guess that is just like today. | ||

Last year, an insider at a major northeastern children’s hospital told PJ Media how the medical profession is ignoring the link between transgender treatments and suicide. According to this insider, at the beginning of their career in healthcare at a pediatric medical center, the Emergency Department would expect a handful of mental health crises a week, but by the time of their departure, “30 of our 60 beds would be constantly and consistently full with actively suicidal youths.” I have trans friends. Adults. What an adult does is their business, I firmly believe. But kids? There's a WAVE of suicides coming real soon now with this crazy agenda about "gender" and sex mutilation. Kids today, that tomorrow will be basket cases, because of some insane leftist psyop. | ||
