The essential nature of government

Posted on      by     

The Founders wouldn’t be surprised by this. Nobody else should be, either.

The city of Cape Canaveral in Brevard County has a population of about 10,000 people and encompasses about 2 square miles. In the year 2000, population in the city was about 8,900 people, and it was about 8,000 people in 1990. That’s a growth rate of 0.5% per year over the past 36 years. <—Important stat, so keep this in mind as we look at the rest of this.

The city hall was built in the 1960s, and was about 3200 square feet. It looked like this…

In 2015, construction was begun on a new, 18,000 square foot city hall at a cost of $5.5 million. That number was close to what the city spent that year in its entire budget.

Now explain to me why they needed to build this giant edifice that costs more to build and to maintain than the building it replaced? Population was only 25% larger than it was in 1980, but the city hall building needed to be five times larger to accommodate all of the extra bureaucratic employees that are now working there.

The city’s budget is now $70 million, despite the fact that the city contains the same number of residents as it did ten years ago when the budget was $5.5 million. They built a larger city hall, then filled that space with more employees. Five times the building at twelve times the cost.

Why are so many more employees needed? The cost of government was $3 million per year in 1980, or about $11 million in 2025 dollars. Why does government need to be 7 times larger than it was in 1980, even though population is only 25% larger?

Because Reasons™, of course and as always. Just who, exactly, gave you permission to ask, anyway?

Backstory:

Home secretary Shabana Mahmood has warned that “misinformation and inflammatory commentary is making a dreadful situation even worse” as anger over the case of Henry Nowak was stoked further by Nigel Farage, who urged the public to respond with “pure cold rage”.

In a statement to the Commons, Ms Mahmood revealed that a police officer wrongly identified as having arrested the dying teenager has received death threats and been forced into hiding amid a “dangerous undercurrent”.

Chilling video footage from the night Nowak was killed shows that police handcuffed the 18-year-old student as he lay on the ground, despite his repeated pleas that he could not breathe. He died shortly afterwards.

In footage recorded by a body-worn camera of the incident in Southampton, Nowak can be heard repeatedly saying “I’ve been stabbed”, to which an officer replies: “Don’t think you have, mate.”

Sir Keir Starmer described the video as “harrowing”, adding: “I have to say, as the father of a 17-year-old boy, I felt sick watching it.”

You damned well oughta have felt sick, you pissant Brit scumsucker. Ahh, but don’t let’s any Amurrkin mouthbreathers get to feeling all smug and self-righteous ourselves here, either.

What Should Happen to ATF Agents Who Lied to Put a Man in Prison for 20 Years?
Patrick Tate Adamiak is starting his fourth year of a 20-year federal prison sentence, even though he broke no law and committed no crime. That sad fact leads almost every discussion about the 31-year-old who had no prior criminal history. The public’s attention has been rightfully focused on freeing him from his undeserved incarceration, not on the ATF agents who wrongfully put him in a prison cell for two decades.

As most of you know, Joe Biden’s ATF lied about what their confidential informant had purchased from Adamiak. They lied again to obtain a search warrant of Adamiak’s property. They found nothing illegal while executing their search warrant, so they lied yet again about the legal items they found in order to obtain a conviction.

These untruths, in my humble opinion, were made for three reasons: in order to stave off any claim that Adamiak’s civil rights were violated, to shield the ATF agents from how poorly they conducted the investigation, and to keep secret the fact that they simply can’t work a confidential informant.

The ATF’s lies were so profound they actually turned gun parts into machineguns. Their firearms “experts” even classified a toy as a machinegun—a toy! They misclassified two DEWAT RPGs as actual grenade launchers, which added 15 years to Adamiak’s sentence. An ATF expert even classified seven legal semi-auto handguns, which fire from an open bolt, as machineguns.

Proving once again an age-old home truth: we are forever walking the same dark path towards abject Tyranny Most Foule that our British cousins are, just a cpl-three steps behind them, that’s all. Meanwhile, back to the original propaganda article for yet another totally-missed point.

Mr Farage likened Nowak’s treatment to the killing of George Floyd and said it was evidence of a “two-tier culture”.

See what the Brit twit did there? Under no circumstances should the largely self-initiated death of St George of Fentanyl be likened or equated to the wicked, unholy collaborative murder of the entirely blameless young student Nowak by an impromptu cabal consisting of 1) a murderous nigger Immivader, and 2) the Limey Pigs of PC. All in all, though, Farage is dead on the money.

Mr Farage said Nowak was “actually treated in a way that meant an accusation of a racial slur was treated more seriously than an act of murder”.

“Enough of anti-white prejudice,” he added, suggesting there should be “a promotion of the idea that white lives matter just as much as Black lives”.

Entirely, one hundred and twelve percent correct, sir. The silver lining to the whole sorry mess:

On Tuesday night, Mahmood condemned “disgraceful” scenes of violence after riot police were pelted with bottles and bricks during a protest near the home of Mr Nowak’s killer in Southampton.

Videos shared on social media showed officers being pelted with stones and bricks on a residential street in the St Denys area, where Mr Nowak was killed.

As they damned well ought to be.

Hard reset, hard war, hard choices, hard times

Looks like Mr Trump has resumed “limited air strikes” against the Mullahs, which I’m okay with, really. Although I still believe that what with the cringeworthy pleading for “negotiations,” “cease-fires,” and “peace deals” from the Trump admin, the Mullahs have likely concluded that

  • The US remains a paper tiger, a mere hollowed-out shell of its former WW2-era self
  • At bottom, the fact is that neither this nation’s government nor its people have the stomach, the will, or the pugnacity required to wage war and win against a determined enemy
  • Despite our military capabilities, they therefore have little to fear from the US—irrespective of which side of the uniParty coin happens to be in charge at any given time

Ultimately, it all boils down to this:

Trump has been trying to induce the murderous mullahs in Iran to make the reasonable choice and surrender, but in half a century of perpetual terrorism, the Iranian regime has yet to show any sign that they value reason over religious fanaticism. If you believe Allah has given you a mission to destroy the “great Satan” America and will reward you through eternity for fighting to do so, you’re not likely to make well-reasoned choices.

The Iranian regime has repeatedly violated ceasefires, rejected every peace offer from Trump, and most recently put out a €50 million, or approximately $58 million, price on Trump’s head, just after an Iran-tied assassin made an attempt on Ivanka Trump.

It remains to be seen how many more strikes it will take to bring the terrorist regime in Tehran completely to its knees. Hopefully every last genocidal jihadi leader will have gone to meet his master below before we’re through.

Hopefully, yeah. Because until Trump’s stated goal (initially, at least) of removing/replacing the Mad Mullah regime is achieved, then we won’t actually BE through, nor will we have won a damned thing. It’s a lead-pipe cinch that, should this latest round in the Fifty Years’ War© peter out with a pallid, half-assed “victory,” we’ll be right back over there in ten-20 years to do it all over again.

BOTTOM LINE: Before the Mad Mullah regime can be removed/replaced, the Mullahs will have to be dead, dead, DEAD…ALL the Mad Mullahs. All else aside, THAT is the real job here, THAT is the only real solution to the half-century-old Iran Problem. Since our Iranian enemies are implacable, resolute, single-minded extremists, they will never back down, never yield, never abandon the dream of world domination. This is a foe who cannot be reasoned with, bargained with, or talked down off the apocalyptic ledge his  primitve ideology has forced him out onto.

Assuming, of course, that there’s ever a non-D卐M☭CRAT PoTUS again, that is. Grim as it all looks from here, we must all hope.

All of which leaves us with two stark, unpleasant scenarios: 1) we put ’em down like rabid dogs, ruthlessly, in great enough numbers that the ragged few survivors are left in such terror of the American infidel that the very idea of ever lifting a finger against us again reduces them to stammering, pants-pissing quasi-catatonia; 2) we stack arms, beg for mercy, and swear total fealty to Allah the All Powerful, All Merciful, and All Benevolent.

In the first, the soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines who execute it will be haunted by sweaty, vivid nightmares and dreadful flashbacks rerunning slaughter, carnage, and dead comrades for the rest of their days. In the second, we will be slaves, all pride, dignity, and individual determination stripped from each and every one of us by our triumphanr enemy.

Bad as both options are, I can’t see any difficulty about deciding which scenario I prefer. Nor do I feel the least guilt over it. Because the US government supported the Shah for decades—a real piece of work himself, who treated his populace cruelly and harshly—the Revolutionary Pisslamic government, once it had deposed him,, embarked on a long-term campaign of terrorism, guerilla warfare, and despicable murder in search of revenge. The attacks, the recriminations, the insults and denunciations have neitther stopped nor slowed since the Mullahs seized power in 1979, effectively assuming the mantle of proto-feudal Warlords Of Persia.

SO, then: either we hike up our Big Boy Britches, gird our loins, and put an end to this vicious, Neantherdal nut-jobbery once and for all; OR: we resign ourselves to the national shame and disgrace of being the whipping boy for the Mullahs; accept a certain amount of annual civilian casualties from Moslem terrorist violence and the lowered standard of living which comes along with abject cowardice and defeat; and wash our hands of the whole sordid mishegoss. Then, we hold a press conference to declare “victory,” cross our fingers, and pray for a happy ending.

We’ll know soon enough whether or not Amerika v2.0 is up to the task before it.

Blast from the past

In the course of a typically excellennt post ripping the several masks off the two or three faces of Lyin’ D卐M☭CRAT fraud, sexual deviant, and phony “Christian” James Talerico, Ace brings up something I had almost forgotten about, but which all Real Americans would do well to remember.

Longtime readers will no doubt remember the Invasion of the Concerned Christian Conservatives of 2007-2008. As Obama was running for president, and his campaign manager David Axelrod openly promoted using astroturf — fake grassroots enthusiasm — to promote his Manchurian Candidate, there were suddenly dozens of never-before-seen commenters (and never again seen, too) who flooded the comments areas with comments that all followed the same three scripts:

Hi everyone. I’ve been a conservative Christian my whole life, but I’m very concerned about the direction that Bush took this country in, and which McCain is threatening to take it. While I have never before voted for a Democrat of any kind, I’m so concerned about the state of the country that I have decided to vote for the moderate centrist common-sense Democrat Barack Obama.

He will bring hope to the country and heal our wounds.

Over and over and over and over — the same canned script being pumped out by David Axelrod’s army of Paid Election Interferers.

We used to call this “Mobying” because Moby, the bald gay vegan techno musician no one ever liked, explicitly championed spamming the comments of news sites and blogs with fake messages to trick Christians into voting for the extinction of Western civilization.

We saw a very clumsy effort from the Democrats to convince us that all straight truck-driving beer-drinking Real Men were totally supporting Noted He-Man Tim Walz.

You will not be too terribly surprised to learn that the same Concerned Christian Conservative Seminar Commenters have been reactivated to boost the gay Satanic seminarian Talarico.

Follows, a sample of this standard-issue, Mark 1-Mod-0 D卐M☭CRAT deception tactic and more rips on the creep Talarico, of which you should read the all. All I can say is, if Ken Paxton doesn’t tump this guy’s ass like a big bass drum, then We’ll know for sure that Texas is well and truly lost, leaving DeSantis’s Florida as the last bastion of America That Was and those of us who mourn Her loss.

Happily, the Bee has something to say about all this also, which in addition to being funy as all Hell, would tend to back up my contention just now about Texas being lost.


Heh. See what I mean?

Update! Their contemptible lies are so not-credible, so lame and obvious, that the slimeballs themselves don’t even believe them.


As I’ve so often said, the Biden Crime Family™ exemplifies everything wrong with politics in Amerika v2.0 today. Not a single one of these miserable worms would Jefferson, Adams, Washington et al deign to so much as piss on if they were on fire.

Nobody can say it comes as any big surprise, I shouldn’t think. Which is a whole ‘nother sad, sad story in and of itself.

Memorial Day Tragedy: Veteran ‘Trump House’ Owner Dies After Vicious Assault
After his neighbor savagely attacked him unprovoked on May 20, the U.S. Army veteran who owns a California home famous for its huge Donald Trump signs passed away just before Memorial Day.

Kerry Sheron had gained local notoriety in his Escondido community for hanging Make America Great Again banners and American flags all over his house. But a younger man — who is, ironically, also a veteran — assaulted him so horribly on May 20 that Sheron died on Sunday, May 24, according to the California Post. Police are refusing to offer clues as to the motive, but Sheron has previously complained about vandalism of his banners and flags, and his wife believes the attack could be political.

The attacker, 32-year-old Thomas Caleb Butler, abruptly approached Sheron outside his home and began beating him. Deputy District Attorney Ross Garcia explained, “It was a single punch to the jaw. The victim then falls to the floor, and there are subsequent hits to the victim’s head area.”

Despite all that, Butler has pleaded not guilty to murder, elder abuse, criminal threats and battery. It appears, therefore, that he has displayed absolutely no regret or repentance for his deadly attack. He is in jail without bail, and officials are considering homicide charges.

“Considering”? What the actual fuck is UP with that arrant horseshit? We all know very well why this violent “liberal” piece of shit did what he did, just like we all know he really ought to be beaten to death himself for it pour encourager les autres. Another thing we all know: the oxygen thief Butler will almost certainly skate for this murder most foul, or perhaps be given at the very most a light slap on the back of his hand for this patent HHHHHH8 Crime™.

All of which makes this clip of old school Chicago flatfoot Jim Malone’s final question for G-man Elliott Ness even more apropos, timely, and relevant than it already was.

Safe-bet answer: absolutely, positively nothing whatsoever, that’s what.

“Errors”

Posted on      by     

As I always say: when all the “errors” only seem to cut one way, to the advantage of one side of the argument exclusively, then they aren’t really errors at all. So it’s strange indeed (not to mention puzzling as all hell) that this should be somethig of a counter-example.

Scientists Discover Major Errors in Al Gore-Founded Climate Pollution Database
An analysis found that Climate TRACE may substantially underestimate city vehicle CO2 emissions, raising concerns about data accuracy in climate policy.

Some of the world’s most widely used climate emissions estimates could be missing far more pollution than anyone realized.

A new study from Northern Arizona University reports that the global greenhouse gas emissions database created by the Climate TRACE consortium, co-founded by former Vice President Al Gore, may be undercounting vehicle carbon dioxide emissions in cities by an average of 70%.

The findings, published in Environmental Research Letters, come as governments and cities increasingly rely on high-resolution emissions data to shape climate policy and track progress toward emissions goals.

Led by Kevin Gurney, a professor in NAU’s School of Informatics, Computing, and Cyber Systems (SICCS), the study examined how Climate TRACE estimated emissions from cars and trucks and compared those figures against established transportation and fuel-use data. According to Gurney, the discrepancies — combined with similar issues his team previously identified in power plant emissions estimates — raise broader concerns about the reliability of rapidly emerging AI-driven climate monitoring systems.

“Given the importance of vehicle CO2 emissions in cities, we carefully examined the Climate TRACE data which relied on promising new artificial intelligence-based approaches,” Gurney said. “When combined with our previous study on Climate TRACE power plant CO2 emissions, our results suggest that the Climate TRACE data significantly underestimate over half of U.S. fossil fuel-based CO2 emissions in cities.”

Late show hosts, then and now

Posted on      by     

    Lakeside Joe runs down the differences.

If you watch re-runs of Johnny Carson, one thing will stand out the most, and it’s that Carson had the unique ability to deliver jokes in a casual, midwestern-everyman tone; like chatting with the audience over a drink. He made it feel effortless and inclusive, as if he was one of them poking fun at the day’s absurdities (kind of like we do with snark on social media – everyone’s fair game) He recovered from weak jokes by leaning into them self-deprecatingly, which often got bigger laughs.

When Carson did his final show, one in five Americans were watching. Colbert’s final audience was a minor fraction of that. The numbers tell the whole story of what late night became:

Then: When Johnny Carson signed off in 1992, it’s been estimated that 55 million Americans watched – out of about 250 million. More than one in five.

Now: Stephen Colbert’s final Late Show drew 6.7 million – out of roughly 342 million. Under 2%.

The shift: same chair, a far bigger country, a fraction of the audience.

The reason: Carson made the whole country laugh; Colbert made half the country the butt of his ‘jokes’. Late night didn’t die of natural causes. It chose a side, aimed nine of every ten jokes at that side’s enemies, and then acted shocked when half the country stopped watching. Carson understood he was a guest in everyone’s living room. His successors decided the living room needed a lecture. Carson hosted an entire country. Colbert played ‘host’ to a minority who’s clubhouse was closed to anyone with half a brain.

That’s about the size of it, yeah. If the smarmy gasbag Colbert was even half as smart as he seems to think he is, you’d think he woulda realized that alienating half your audience from your very first night might not be such a hot idea. Which, hate to have to hip all you shitlib Supergenii!™ and all, actually has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with whether or not Trump can “take a joke,” by the by.

The art of NO deal

Posted on      by     

Hate to have to say it, but Trump is an idiot, and he’s screwing the pooch by the numbers.


Here’s the ugly truth of the matter, via Lakeside Joe.

That penultimate line—“The regime can only be stopped by force” et al—assumes something not so far in evidence, namely that “At some point, Trump will be convinced of this reality.” It’s my considered opinion that Trump, being at heart a basically decent sort who derives no pleasure from killing people in job lots, would vastly prefer to make some kind of deal with the Mullah regime, even though any deal the howling Western infidel makes with the Mullahs won’t be worth the paper it’s printed on.

Which in turn means that Trump, having an entirely unrealistic view of the opponents he is confronting—ie, a far too charitable one regarding their willingness to deal fairly and honestly with “the Great Satan,” among other things—should never have dragged us into the Iran quagmire in the first place. His Presidency will be regarded by future historians, if any, as a catastrophe, one this piss-poor excuse for a nation will be paying for for generations, possibly even centuries. Sorry, but IMO that’s the long and the short of it.

Update! Just got off the phone with my brother Jeff, who just minutes ago shelled out $1100.00 at a truck stop to fill up his Freightliner with diesel fuel, but won’t make anything close to that much this week. He says another month or so of losing money like this and he’ll be out of business, and the truck will be up for sale. No need to rush anything, eh, Donald? *spit*

It begins update! Jeff called back to tell me that a friend and co-worker of his just gave the company his notice and put his truck up for sale. He’s taken a job driving a dump truck, for just slightly more than minimum wage. For as long as THAT lasts, anyway. He says thanks a pantload, Donald!

Big Government: It’s scams, all the way down

Posted on      by     

Change my mind.

The Ivanpah Solar Power Plant, a sprawling 3,500–acre facility in the Mojave Desert near the California–Nevada border, was built with federal support during the stimulus push under Barack Obama’s first administration. The power plant was meant to help revive the American economy after the 2008 financial crisis, while also expanding renewable energy. It features about 350,000 computer-controlled mirrors to go alongside three imposing 459-foot towers. The sun’s power heats water in the towers’ boilers and makes steam, which then creates electricity. Between $730 million and $780 million of a $1.6 billion government–backed loan tied to the project remained unpaid, according to federal data cited by Fox News Digital. The US Treasury also provided a $539 million grant for the project, which covered roughly 30 percent of construction costs. The only thing it has done successfully since it’s inception is to fry birds in flight. Some estimates say at least 6,000 birds per year have met their demise in the magnified sunlight frying pan. Well played, treehuggers…

Know what’s REALLY sad here? That I can’t honestly say that this jug-eared, slope-shouldered chowderhead—Ogabe, in other words—was the worst President this country ever had.

 Ace asks: Do you want to take this kinetic? Because this is how you take this kinetic. Let me make this perfectly clear: YES. Yes, as a matter of fact I DO want to take this kinetic. As seriously awful as that prospect is, the scenario in which we just continue to sit supinely back and permit the Goosesteppin’ Left to destroy what little is left of America That Was is much, much worse.

Which means that all of the following people I sincerely wish to see shot in the face, guillotined, drawn and quartered, keelhauled, set upon by a pack of rabid hyenas, and hanged by the neck until they are dead, dead, DEAD. Before very much more time has elapsed, we have gone full-on Commie, and it’s too fucking late to put a stop to this arrant nonsense.

I mean it: kill them. Kill them all. No, I am not in any way kidding about this. They are oxygen thieves who are unfit to draw breath; merely by their unwanted presence in it do they befoul our God-graced nation. They should be removed, by any and all means necessary. Period fucking DOT.

Big points for RFKJ.

The Way RFK Jr. Turned the Tables on This Democrat Was Amazing
Democrats thought they had Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. right where they wanted him. On Friday, Kennedy was on Capitol Hill so that Democrats could grandstand on the HHS budget, the 25th Amendment, and whatever else they needed clips of to include in their fundraising pitches. They thought they could abuse Kennedy and he’d just take it.

They were wrong. Very, very wrong.

During the hearing, Democrats came loaded with their usual talking points about proposed Medicaid changes harming the poor and the sick. What they didn’t anticipate was Kennedy coming armed with numbers that reframed the entire argument. Instead of playing defense, he walked into that hearing room and went on offense.

Kennedy’s central point was straightforward: the administration isn’t cutting Medicaid. It’s cleaning it up.

Then came my favorite moment of the exchange. Rep. Greg Casar (D-Texas) decided to challenge Kennedy with what he clearly thought was a devastating question. “Have you met with any of the 1.4 million people who have lost their health insurance just this last year from dropping off of Obamacare?” Casar asked. “Have you sat down and talked to those folks about the fact they won’t have their health insurance again?”

The question was stupid, but the implication was obvious. According to Cesar, Kennedy was supposedly indifferent to real Americans losing coverage.

Kennedy’s response was about as devastating as it gets. “They’re almost all illegal immigrants,” he told him.

There was a brief pause before Cesar stuttered his way through a response and then proceeded to talk over Kennedy as he attempted to make a critical point.

“We found 1.5 million illegal immigrants illegally collecting Medicaid,” Kennedy said.

Heh. Go get the goddamned idiots, Sec Kennedy, sir.

—Etienne de la Boiete

"History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid."

—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."
