Tuesday Motes, No Banking Allowed

Human waste: Police in Ohio are searching for a 26-year-old suspect accused of carjacking a double amputee and leaving the victim to fend for himself on a set of train tracks without his legs or wheelchair. the 59-year-old victim reportedly arrived went to a friend’s home in Cleveland. Later the victim was allegedly pistol-whipped and thrown from the vehicle onto a set of nearby train tracks at which point THE FRIEND reportedly told the victim, “If the cold doesn’t kill you, a train will,”. So, this was all done by HIS FRIEND? They also burned the car and threw the wheelchair into a ravine. There ain’t a hole in hell deep enough for this P O S.

It’s baaack: Playboy is relaunching its iconic magazine as a digital-first publication — as the racy lifestyle brand takes on OnlyFans, The revamped magazine, which shuttered in 2020 and ceased printing, will debut later this year. Many my age learned everything we know about being suave and debonair from those pages. I have no doubt it will be crucified and canceled immediately.

Points for imagination: A 27-year-old Minnesota man is accused of fatally beating an elderly sex offender to death on Wednesday, using a shovel and moose antler. Following the killing, the suspect went to the Cook County Sheriff’s Office where he told authorities what happened, all while he was covered in blood. The suspect reportedly knew the victim, and also believed he had sexually offended against children in previous years. It appeard the two knew each other for years and at one time thee was a “no contact” court order against the “victim”.

Incompetence is the rule: President Joe Biden’s embattled pick to lead the Federal Aviation Administration participated in his confirmation hearing before Congress on Wednesday amid a series of challenges for the agency. He could not answer any questions regarding pilot status, aircraft inspections, or anything that might have any relevance to the position he is nominated to occupy.

Monday Motes, Memorize

It wasn’t me: The soaring crime rates and violence in Democrat-run cities is a direct result of Democrat policies. It didn’t help that the official party line was to defund the police. Several Democrats called to defund police in the last few years including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Uncle Joe took another swipe at MAGA Republicans on Thursday saying; “MAGA Republicans are calling for defunding the police departments.” Ehhhh, that’s not the way I remember it.

Correct answer: In 1964, Caine played a British lieutenant in the movie “Zulu”, which is described as “outnumbered British soldiers do battle with Zulu warriors at Rorke’s Drift.” The film chronicles a battle in the Anglo-Zulu War, a conflict between the British and the Zulu Kingdom in what is now South Africa.  An anti-terrorism program called “Prevent” in the United Kingdom flagged this movie as a piece of culture that incites the so-called far right. the movie is “listed as a ‘key text’ for ‘white nationalists’ and ‘supremacists’ by the Government’s beleaguered anti-terrorism Prevent scheme.” Chief Mangosuthu Buthelezi, who played own his great-grandfather King Cetshwayo in the film, disagrees with the characterization.  Caine’s answer: “That is the biggest load of bulls**t I have ever heard.” That is the correct answer.

And the winner is: I didn’t watch. I have no idea. I did try to watch “Everything, Everywhere, All At Once:, but it was just too damn confusing. So I gave up. Kinda like I did the Oscars.

They wonder why no one “respects” them: She’s a carpetbagging New York elitist and a condescending, non-voting member of Congress who needs a lesson in manners. some may have been unaware that the U.S. Virgin Islands were represented in Congress, meet Stacey Plaskett. the “so called delegate” (Wikipedia’s words, not mine) and is not even an island native. On March 9, 2023, Jim Jordan chaired the second hearing on the Weaponization of the Federal Government and the condescension and outright disdain displayed by Plaskett and her Democrat colleagues was so brazen, so disgraceful, and so far removed from what the people in Congress are intended to do, it gives us good reason to demand their resignation.  Despite her bold rhetoric, Plaskett has focused on complaining about the committee rather than participating in any meaningful way.  She is a prolific purveyor of falsehoods and herself an honorary member of the Censorship Industrial Complex. And that’s why we don’t respect out “representatives”.

The ”elite” want us “peasants” to move into  SMART cities.

From DTI 2014. Things just don’t change do they?

5 Sept 14

This from friends in OH:

“Judges of our 4th District Court of Appeals, which covers fourteen counties in southeastern OH, are, by their own one-sided ‘proclamation,’ licensing themselves to carry concealed handguns, both while sitting on the  bench and at all other times.  They are not extending that special  privilege to anyone else!

This ‘proclamation’ altogether bypasses the legal requirements, including training and proficiency, that we peons are required to obey in order to acquire  state-issued concealed carry permits.

These judges travel from  county to county holding hearings. While traveling, they are accompanied by a  bailiff and an LEO, both armed.

One judge casually stated: ‘The probability of an (life-threatening) occurrence is, in reality, pretty  low.  But the impact, when it happens, is devastating.’

Is that so, your honor?

Well then, I suspect when anyone, even one of us lowly peons, encounters someone who is trying to murder us, one could also accurately describe the event  as ‘devastating!’

Yet, the term, ‘devastating,’ apparently only applies to judges.  When the identical thing happens to any of us mere insignificant tax-paying citizens,  it is merely ‘unfortunate.’

 I am a staunch believer in individual Constitutional Rights, but government employees should never be allowed to create a ‘special class’ of citizens, which includes only themselves, who enjoy ‘special privileges,’ not available to the rest of us.

This smacks of arbitrary power and ‘arrogance-by-virtue-of-position,’ the twin plagues our Founders fought so hard to purge from the New World.

Our media, which is supposed to call attention to this kind of blatant buse of power, sees no problem!”

Comment: As we see, “arbitrary power and ‘arrogance-by-virtue-of-position'” are alive and well!  These judges, like our ‘news’ media, have obviously forgotten who is working for whom.

OH’s AG needs to act!

A perfect example of this “special people” exemption was Honolulu during the 70’s and 80’s. Special people got to carry firearms because they were appointed “Deputy Sherriff’s by the guy running the district court who was also the “Sherriff”. He’s also fix tickets, move court cases, and other stuff. For “friends of the court”. Those appointed were allowed to carry badges, firearms, and NEVER performed a single “deputy” function. He was taken down, charged, convicted, and out of a job and retirement. Nothing changes.

Saturday Story – With Great Pride I Call Him Friend

Medal of Honor citation

The President of the United States takes pride in presenting the Medal of Honor to

Gunnery Sergeant Allen J. Kellogg Jr.
United States Marine Corps

for service as set forth in the following citation:

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while serving as a platoon sergeant with Company G, in connection with combat operations against the enemy on the night of March 11, 1970. Under the leadership of G/Sgt. Kellogg, a small unit from Company G was evacuating a fallen comrade when the unit came under a heavy volume of small arms and automatic weapons fire from a numerically superior enemy force occupying well-concealed emplacements in the surrounding jungle. During the ensuing fierce engagement, an enemy soldier managed to maneuver through the dense foliage to a position near the Marines, and hurled a hand grenade into their midst which glanced off the chest of G/Sgt. Kellogg. Quick to act, he forced the grenade into the mud in which he was standing, threw himself over the lethel weapon and absorbed the full effects of its detonation with his body thereby preventing serious injury or possible death to several of his fellow Marines. Although suffering multiple injuries to his chest and his right shoulder and arm, G/Sgt. Kellogg resolutely continued to direct the efforts of his men until all were able to maneuver to the relative safety of the company perimeter. By his heroic and decisive action in risking his life to save the lives of his comrades, G/Sgt. Kellogg reflected the highest credit upon himself and upheld the finest traditions of the Marine Corps and the U.S. Naval Service.

Imagine Of You Will, Friday Motes

Fixed: WWE is discussing procedures with Colorado and Michigan regulators that would enable patrons in those states to bet on the results of scripted matches, according to a Wednesday report. So they want to allow people to “bet” on something when the outcome is already known? Geeze, that’s just stupid.

We don’t want to talk about it anymore, it’s in the past: Among the media losing its mind over the unspeakable evil of balanced reporting is Axios, a web-based outlet that imagines it has cultivated a reputation for centrist and dispassionate news reporting. The Democrats’ January 6 Select Committee was a study in propaganda, a one-sided hanging jury that jealously guarded its control over footage of the Capitol Riot and only released what it cherry-picked for the public to see. The committee did this to the extent it even withheld exculpatory video from the poor bastards in its crosshairs who now languish in federal cells, having been denied their right to due process. the new House speaker favored transparency and granted Fox News’s Tucker Carlson access to the full range of video that had previously only been wielded by the Establishment-Left kangaroo court. Carlson went right to work, highlighting previously hidden footage that revealed the partisans on the J6 committee to be manipulative, lying propagandists. Ok, if we are going to stop banging on the past, how about we forget about reparations? You know, because of that stuff from the past.

Sharper than a serpent’s tooth: In an interview with CBS News that aired Thursday, former NFL QB and original anthem-protester Colin Kaepernick accused his adoptive white parents, who took him in at five weeks old, of “perpetuating racism.” Talking about his new novel, ( title dropped by me ), Kaepernick talked about disagreements he had with his white parents. Disagreements he characterized as “problematic” and attributed to racism. As if we needed another reason to seriously dislike Colin Kaepernick.

Under Uncle Joe’s proposed budget for fiscal year 2024 proposes increasing funding to the FBI, Department of Justice (DOJ), and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to crack down on guns. The funding, which draws from a $17.8 billion “investment” in the DOJ’s federal law enforcement capacity, will be used to further regulate the firearms industry, create gun trafficking strike forces, enforce background checks and implement the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. An act which is b=neither “bipartisan” nor will it make “safer communities”. This will be in addition to the new 87,000 irs agents from last year. Remember, if there’s more than 3 people involved, at least one is an informant.

For Your Consideration; Thursday Motes

Needless waste: White sage, which is sacred to a number of Native American tribes in the southwest United States, has been adopted by both some contemporary Pagans and New Age practitioners. This is resulting in overharvesting and shortages of the plant, making it harder for Native Americans to find enough for their sacred ceremonies. I use white sage, and several others, when I smudge my home and family every few months. But for me, a small bundle lasts all year. Unfortunately, it needs a dryer climate to grow, so not here.

Believe me: Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), now a CNN contributor, said Tuesday on “The Lead” that Fox News host Tucker Carlson programmed his “tribal” viewers to “suspend disbelief.” I’ve been watching Carlson, there’s more there then they have released. So, you should believe what they want you to believe, not your lying malfunctioning eyes.

Coming soon to your finances:  Executive Order with the innocuous number 14067 and its title, “Ensuring Responsible Development of Digital Assets.” Under this new digital currency, any transfer of funds to family, friends, charities, or clients would be able to be tracked by the nation’s central bank that issued this virtual money. Big Brother will be in your wallet every hour or every day. You will not be able to buy a stick of gum without a Federal Reserve computer knowing where, when, and to whom you just put down a buck. Make plans. Now.

Don’t need facts: Twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on Wednesday delivered remarks at Forbes’ 30/50 Summit in Abu Dhabi with radical feminist Gloria Steinem and others. Clinton claimed, without any evidence whatsoever, that women and girls are the “primary victims” of climate change. “Women and children are the primary victims of conflict and of climate change and there is no place that unfortunately, tragically, shows us that more dramatically than Ukraine today,” Clinton said. Huh?

 Weird people doesn’t even cover this: Nathaniel Davis III is the most over-qualified security guard ever. He is a security guard for a member of Congress. This is a man who shares the same brand of vile hate that his boss, Missouri Democrat Cori Bush, and Omar harbor. And therein lies the reason to be very concerned.  He is not just a close personal friend, he is also her highest-paid security guard. He has pulled down more than $137,000 in wages since 2020. Davis claims to be 109 trillion years old, and as we all know, money just can’t buy that kind of experience. On top of that, he says that he has the power to summon tornados by the force of his will alone and can use the power of his hate to create earthquakes. And if that doesn’t work, he can utilize blood rituals to destroy his enemies. He can also access his powers to make his enemies’ teeth fall out whenever they say his name. He may have accumulated these abilities over his 109 trillion-year lifespan since one of his previous jobs was as an intergalactic master of psychic self-defense. Wow, and I thought I was experienced.

Wee Wednesday Motes

A sad Good-Bye: Gary Rossington, the last surviving founding member of Lynyrd Skynyrd died Sunday at 71. The death of the famous guitarist and dedicated member of the iconic rock band was confirmed on Lynyrd Skynyrd’s official Facebook page on Sunday. Rossington brushed up against death in 1977 when he survived a plane crash in Mississippi that killed the band‘s lead singer Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines, and Cassie Gaines, along with three others who were aboard the small Convair CV-240 passenger plane. The crash also claimed the lives of the band’s assistant road manager Dean Kilpatrick, the pilot Walter McCreary and co-pilot, William Gray. He will be missed.

Oh crap, another remake: Jake Gyllenhaal (?) channels the late Patrick Swayze in a remake of “ Road House. It’s unclear whether the Zen-like mien of Swayze’s Dalton will make it into the reimagined movie, but we know his chiseled physique will. Gyllenhaal looked absolutely shredded in another go-round as a combat-sport athlete. Can’t they leave the good one’s alone. Please.

The more Tucker Carlson reveals of the Jan 6 video recordings, the more I believe Ashley Babbitt WAS murdered.

Your business is not yours: In February, 20 Republican state attorneys general wrote to Walgreens Corp. threatening legal action if Walgreens provides the abortion pill, mifepristone, to consumers in their pharmacies across the U.S. Filmmaker Michael Moore has called for a nationwide boycott of Walgreens after the pharmacy chain announced it would not sell abortion pills in 20 states. The Calipornia Governor Gavin useless as declared the state won’t do business with Walgrens. So your business, is not your business, because everyone who thinks they are someone can tell you what you can or can’t do, with YOUR business.

Unhinged: How crazy did it get with all the Covid crap? A mass cull of pet cats in Britain was considered at the start of the pandemic, a former minister has revealed. Their excuse,” What we shouldn’t forget is how little we understood about this disease. There was a moment we were very unclear about whether domestic pets could transmit the disease.” So, your answer is let’s kill them. I’m going to start a rumor that Covid was transmitted by politicians.

Let’s tax Vegas vacations: At 1:40 p.m. on Saturday, Hawaiʻi police officers and FBI agents executed a search warrant at a 500-acre property in Kealakekua, where an estimated 800 plus people were attending a cockfight. Four men were arrested for firearms offenses on March 4 while at a cockfight in Kealakekua, where drugs and illegal firearms were recovered, along with U.S. currency and two vehicles for forfeiture, according to Hawaiʻi Island police. Funny, all 4 were arrested for drug or firearm charges but nobody appears to have been arrested for the illegal gambling animal cruelty cockfight. Hmmm.


Tuesday, Damn More Week Left, Motes

Small meal: A person in southwest Florida has died after being infected with an extremely rare brain-eating amoeba, health officials said. The agency had previously issued an alert last month, warning residents about the Naegleria fowleri infection. Florida Department of Health said it would soon die of starvation.

A sad Good-Bye: We lost actor Tom Sizemore,61. Mr. Sizemore could be intense, charismatic and manic in roles as soldiers, thugs, cops, killers and, in a television movie, the baseball player Pete Rose. He lived his life just as intense as his characters.  Mr. Sizemore at the time was dealing with serious drug problems, which dated to the 1990s. Over the years he used heroin, crystal methamphetamine and cocaine, and he was in and out of rehab. His unique look, intensity, and talent will be missed.

Congratulations: Nearly 60 years after he was first recommended for the nation’s highest award for bravery during the Vietnam War, retired Col. Paris Davis, one of the first Black officers to lead a Special Forces team in combat, will receive the prestigious Medal of Honor on Friday. His selfless actions, heroism, and love for the men under his command epitomize the meaning of HERO. Well done, Sir. Well done.

History repeats, maybe: Back in 1981 a group of hard corpse fanatics moved into an area of Oregon, 64,281 acre’s known as Big Muddy Ranch. They named it Rajneeshpuram . Within three years, the neo-sannyasins people, complete with typical urban infrastructure such as a fire department, police, restaurants, malls, townhouses, a 4,200-foot (1,300 m) airstrip, a public transport system using buses, a sewage reclamation plant, a reservoir,[14] and a post office with the ZIP code 97741. It is thought that the actual population during this time was potentially much higher than they claimed, and the neo-sannyasins may have gone as far as to hide beds and citizens during investigations. Various legal conflicts, primarily over land use, escalated to bitter hostility between the commune and local residents, and the commune was subject to sustained and coordinated pressures from various coalitions of Oregon residents over the length of its existence. By the time it was over there had been murder, attempted murder, bio-terror, immigration fraud, currency and drug smuggling. The town was incorporated, had its own automatic weapon toting “police” and had attempted to assassinate Charles H. Turner, the U.S. state attorney in Portland,Or. This is called working the system against itself. Wait, history will repeat itself.

Motes To Open A New Week

Reality: A U.N. human rights groups said Thursday the government of Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega executed at least 40 people and ordered hospitals not to treat demonstrators wounded in antigovernment protests. Ortega’s government is also condemned for stripping 222 opponents of their nationality, after they were loaded aboard a plane and flown to the United States last month. This is what real socialism looks like. You don’t agree, you are removed and do it again, you’re dead.

Observation: “50 Shades of Grey” is romantic only because the guy involved is a billionaire. If he was living in a trailer and worked as a janitor, it would be an episode of Criminal Minds.

Probably a long troll: Teacher Who Wore Massive Prosthetic Breasts To School Is FINALLY Put On Leave: “This should have happened 6 months ago!”  Pictures and video footage went viral of a transgender high school teacher who wears comically massive prosthetic breasts to school, complete with skin-tight shorts and a shirt which the fake nipples distinctly protrude from. The teacher is a Manufacturing and Technology instructor at Oakville Trafalgar High School in Oakville, Ontario. The teacher reportedly began identifying as a woman just last year. Yes, I agree this individual needed to be removed months ago, but think of all the jokes Gutfeld would have lost.

Woke devil worshiper’s: A recent advisory states that all Satanic Convention attendees will be required to show proof of COVID vaccinations. The unvaxx will not be allowed to worship Satan.

A great story: An 8-year-old boy in Arkansas has raised more than $44,000 for his favorite waiter. Kayzen Hunter describes Devonte Gardner, whom he befriended during his family’s weekly breakfast trips to their local Waffle House, as “one of the most joyous and positive people you’ve ever met.” The family created the fundraiser after they learned that the server was walking to work every day, and that his wife and their two daughters were living in a motel room with no reliable source of transportation. Their previous home had become infested with rats and black mold contamination, causing their kids to become sick. Good for this kid. He is going to live a wonderful life.

Here a rainbow to start our week.

“We trained hard, but every time we were beginning to form-up into coherent teams, we would be suddenly ‘reorganized!’

I was to learn later, perhaps because we are so good at organizing, that we tend to meet every new situation by ‘reorganizing.’

And, a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress, while in reality producing only confusion, inefficiency, and demoralization”

Where are snipers when you need them?

Our current USMC “leadership” has apparently decided that dedicated sniper teams, who have served us so well since WWII, are over-rated!

USMC infantry battalions will no longer have integral sniper platoons at the immediate disposal of battalion commanders.

Dedicated snipers, and long-range precision rifle fire only they provide, are being de-emphasized, and what few snipers remain in the system will be kicked upstairs to high-level “reconnaissance units,” no longer immediately available to local commanders.

The sniper school is closing!

Infantry battalions will now have only “scout platoons,” absent snipers!

So our snipers are being done away with, and their critical contribution brushed-aside.

USMC “leadership” has already eliminated our tanks. Now snipers. The Aviation Wing is next. Artillery after that.

Our USMC, proudly serving since 1798, is being actively dismantled and reduced to irrelevance.

This has been the wet dream of domestic leftists for decades, and they’re finally making the progress after which they’ve always aspired.

So sad to see!

*This is what happens when flag and staff officers, real soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines, are replaced with political sycophants that are not concerned with battle readiness, but rather promotions, appearances and power.

Something from me.

Headline: “Jimmy Carter: the American president whose commitment to Africa went beyond his term.” Carter, whose UN “representative” Andrew Young convinced the world Rhodesia was racist and wrong and should be turned over to the “majority”. At that time the country had established a relatively balanced economy, transforming what was once a primary producer dependent on backwoods farming into an industrial giant which spawned a strong manufacturing sector, iron and steel industries, and modern mining ventures. These economic successes owed little to foreign aid apart from the immigration of skilled labour. Now, The Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force released a report in, estimating that 60% of Zimbabwe’s wildlife has died as a result of poaching and deforestation. Since January 2002, the government has had its lines of credit at international financial institutions frozen. The purchasing power of the average Zimbabwean had dropped to the same levels in real terms as 1953. Since the early 2000s, Zimbabwe has been under sanctions imposed by the United States and the European Union that have shaped Zimbabwe’s domestic politics as well as the country’s relations with the Western Nations. The United States also imposed sanctions on Zimbabwe. Since 1995, the government has carried out campaigns against both homosexual men and women. This doesn’t even adress all the farmers, white and black, slaughtered, farms and fields burned and never replanted. I could go on, but let’s just say; “Thanks Jimmy.”
