Welcome to Ye Olde Colde Furye Blogge’s shiny new open-comments thread, where y’all can have at it as you wish, on any topic you like. Do note that the official CF comments policy remains in effect here, as enumerated in the left sidebar. All new posts will appear below this one. There will be blood…
Comments policy
NOTE: In order to comment, you must be registered and approved as a CF user. Since so many user-registrations are attempted by spam-bots for their own nefarious purposes, YOUR REGISTRATION MAY BE ERRONEOUSLY DENIED.
If you are in fact a legit hooman bean desirous of registering yourself a CF user name so as to be able to comment only to find yourself caught up as collateral damage in one of my irregularly (un)scheduled sweeps for hinky registration attempts, please shoot me a kite at the email addy over in the right sidebar and let me know so’s I can get ya fixed up manually.
ALSO NOTE: You MUST use a valid, legit email address in order to successfully register, the new anti-spam software I installed last night requires it. My thanks to Barry for all his help sorting this mess out last night.
Comments appear entirely at the whim of the guy who pays the bills for this site and may be deleted, ridiculed, maliciously edited for purposes of mockery, or otherwise pissed over as he in his capricious fancy sees fit. The CF comments section is pretty free-form and rough and tumble; tolerance level for rowdiness and misbehavior is fairly high here, but is NOT without limit.
Management is under no obligation whatever to allow the comments section to be taken over and ruined by trolls, Leftists, and/or other oxygen thieves, and will take any measures deemed necessary to prevent such. Conduct yourself with the merest modicum of decorum, courtesy, and respect and you'll be fine. Pick pointless squabbles with other commenters, fling provocative personal insults, issue threats, or annoy the host (me) and...you won't.
Should you find yourself sanctioned after running afoul of the CF comments policy as stated and feel you have been wronged, please download and complete the Butthurt Report form below in quadruplicate; retain one copy for your personal records and send the others to the email address posted in the right sidebar.
Please refrain from whining, sniveling, and/or bursting into tears and waving your chubby fists around in frustrated rage, lest you suffer an aneurysm or stroke unnecessarily. Your completed form will be reviewed and your complaint addressed whenever management feels like getting around to it. Thank you.

Notable Quotes
"America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards."
—Claire Wolfe, 101 Things to Do 'Til the Revolution
Claire's Cabal—The Freedom Forums
"There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
—Daniel Webster
“When I was young I was depressed all the time. But suicide no longer seemed a possibility in my life. At my age there was very little left to kill.”
—Charles Bukowski
“A slave is one who waits for someone to come and free him.”
—Ezra Pound
“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.”
—Frank Zappa
“The right of a nation to kill a tyrant in case of necessity can no more be doubted than to hang a robber, or kill a flea.”
—John Adams
"A society of sheep must in time beget a government of wolves."
—Bertrand de Jouvenel
"It is terrible to contemplate how few politicians are hanged."
—GK Chesterton
"I predict that the Bush administration will be seen by freedom-wishing Americans a generation or two hence as the hinge on the cell door locking up our freedom. When my children are my age, they will not be free in any recognizably traditional American meaning of the word. I’d tell them to emigrate, but there’s nowhere left to go. I am left with nauseating near-conviction that I am a member of the last generation in the history of the world that is minimally truly free."
—Donald Surber
"The only way to live free is to live unobserved."
—Etienne de la Boiete
"History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid."

"To put it simply, the Left is the stupid and the insane, led by the evil. You can’t persuade the stupid or the insane and you had damn well better fight the evil."
—Skeptic
"There is no better way to stamp your power on people than through the dead hand of bureaucracy. You cannot reason with paperwork."
—David Black, from Turn Left For Gibraltar
"If the laws of God and men, are therefore of no effect, when the magistracy is left at liberty to break them; and if the lusts of those who are too strong for the tribunals of justice, cannot be otherwise restrained than by sedition, tumults and war, those seditions, tumults and wars, are justified by the laws of God and man."
—John Adams
"The limits of tyranny are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress."
—Frederick Douglass
"Give me the media and I will make of any nation a herd of swine."
—Joseph Goebbels
“I hope we once again have reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There’s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: As government expands, liberty contracts.”
—Ronald Reagan
"Ain't no misunderstanding this war. They want to rule us and aim to do it. We aim not to allow it. All there is to it."
—NC Reed, from Parno's Peril

Thanks Steve!
I’ve scheduled two more, to pop up in 14 and 28 days. In theory I’m checking in occasionally for admin purposes if nothing else. In practice I’ve been up to my ears.
I’m sure Mike appreciates the help keeping this place in operating mode.
Check’s in the mail 🙂
Thanks Steve!
Seconding the thanks!
In case anyone is still confused by the Bush family:

Red, red as hell are the entire damn clan of Bushes. Traitors.
The Canadians have awoken!
Nice to see it. They are often maligned for being pushover socialists instead of the old time independent, stalwart, and rugged individuals they once were. They ain’t dead yet.
So apparently someone botched the timing on the bridge collapse. I suspect Harris had her speech all practiced and ready to go, as the Historic! First! Woman! President! led a grieving nation to pass the Joseph R Biden Memorial infrastructure bill with 10 trillion in spending and everything on the Dems long term wish list. Pass national single payer, the green nude eel, strict gun control, DC and Puerto Rico statehood, nationalized elections, and crucial spending now — do it for Joe! The beloved former president (81 million votes!) who heroically tried to warn the nation about crumbling infrastructure, only to tragically perish in a bridge collapse. Totally not staged or anything, y’all!
OK, I need to rinse out my brain after that. Thinking like a proggie is disgusting. Leaves stains everywhere.
Five years ago I would have dismissed anything like the above as nutty conspiracy theories. But today, it really would not surprise me if it was true.
Where’s that confounded bridge?
– Led Zeppelin.
The motorcade shifted routes at the last minute.
– the planned headline.
Heh, we can take the tinfoil off now Haz. The Truth is a lot worse than our nutty conspiracy theories…
I see a few articles are popping up in MSM outlets like The Hill about how the progressive far left is blaming Old Poopy Pants’ bad poll numbers on the regime not being far enough left. LOL
Yeah, I am sure that is the problem. Not raging inflation, empty shelves in the stores, two years and counting of covid insanity and lies, pathetic weakness in foreign policy, out of control immivasion, out of control crime, the puppet being senile, the vice-puppet being a complete incompetent idiot, etc.
Damn but these people are delusional. Or they spend all day every day on Twitter and think it is real. Same thing. However, I remain confident that a combination of election fraud and the Gutless Old Pussies snatching defeat from the jaws of victory will prevent what should be a massive crushing of the dems in the midterms. Which the MSM will then spin as a huge Dem victory, which sadly will be true.
This timeline sucks. Anyone got a dimensional portal handy?
Obviously they’re going to have to remove Not The President Joetato Obergroperdruler the Last from Power, install Not The President Kamelasutra OberBlowerhumper the Black Vagina That Cannot be Criticized in his stead, and go FARTHER Left.
Then gaslight us that everything is suddenly Hunky Dory! They Love Big Sister and see whatever number of lights she says there are.
When they gain seats in the House and Senate it will be because of Her Magnificence and not Vote Fraud. Of course!
“Anyone got a dimensional portal handy?”
Through The Looking-Glass
Off topic, but I’m always amazed how a “children’s” book written so long ago is so precise in it’a dealings with tyrants.
Lewis Carroll is on the same level as Kipling IMO.
Russia, Russia, Russia
China
Our biggest threats and foes. No matter what anyone tells you, no matter what the Joetato administration says, no matter what the commies from californicate say, no matter what the neocons have to say, or the “conservatives” at National Review, one thing remains true:
When it mattered what you do, more than what you say, we had one president that did it, President Trump.
Want to oppose the Russians without a war? Just drill, baby, drill. Pump the oil and gas from the ground, build the transportation pipelines, and drop the price of energy and starve the Russians.
Want to oppose the CCP without a war? Just put tariffs on the items coming in from China, ratchet it up over time, and starve the chinese.
Who did those things?
This article pisses me off in several ways. First, a twenty-year-old woman nearly died and did lose her legs because she’d voluntarily taken the clot shot. It pisses me off because a grotesquely unsafe sheaf of “vaccines” was foisted on the public with essentially no testing for safety and efficacy. And our so-called leaders have done everything short of calling up soldiers and militarized police units to march people to be forcibly injected. And the doctors and bureaucrats and media are playing the deny-deny-deny game despite what we’re seeing with our own eyes. And my tax dollars are paying for it all.
And I’m pissed off because this girl, who lost her legs because of something she chose to do and who really hasn’t done anything with her life, has $90,000 of GoFundMe money already. No, I’m not calling for statutory limits on charity. And, sure, I realize that a 20-y-o probably has a lot more years of life ahead of her than does a 60-some-year-old man … unless the clot shots do her in early, which seems likely. But still, if you need people to lend a hand, it sure helps if you’re young, female, and pretty. Which is the final thing that pisses me off: I don’t catch any strident feminists complaining about the patriarchy and oppression and inequality when women are getting cash and prizes simply for having a va-geen.
All that being said, sympathies to the young woman. If she’s a product of the American public “education” system and had typical American parents, she probably didn’t have any way to evaluate for herself whether the so-called vaccines were safe and had been indoctrinated in doing what the authorities tell you.
Many cannot imagine the government would turn a blind eye to potential life damaging “medication”, much less that they are likely engaging in the damage on purpose or ignoring it for payola.
In spite of the fact they know what other governments have done, murdering 150+ million people in the last hundred years, not our wonderful government they think.
They pay for that blindness.
But they are not the ones that truly piss me off, it’s the ones that know what a criminal enterprise the whole thing is. Starting with the entire CDC and NIH, they should all be jailed for murder.
When I was a tot to young adult there was a healthy skepticism of not only government, but authority in general. I mean, all you had to do at some point is hear one of the yutzes talking and it was obvious some were stupid and some were evil and some were both.
Somewhere under the BJ Admin the skepticism of government and authority in general started fading, and it’s like anyone between the ages of 20-35 in general has total faith in the government and the “Experts”. Not a single questioning cell in their body. What’s even worse is they were gaslighted for 8 years that everything W McBushHitlerChimpy said was a lie. I guess that’s because the Dems and those wonderful bureaucrats are Angels of Infinite Grace and Knowledge.
I wonder if anyone in that age group could watch Raiders of the Lost Ark and understand the ending. Top Men are on it. Top. Men.
They’d probably fault Indiana Jones for daring to Question The Science. “He said they have Top Men on it. Why are you complaining?”
