Ted Cruz is intense here - and the government representative is looking rather weak, methinks.

PS: Mr. Smith, a belated thanks for the well-wishes there. That's great about your wife too.

Dieter, I could not use that link, which is, of course, this site's fault not yours. I will look it up elsewhere. You reminded me that I was going to put up the Tucker Carlson/Cruz clip. Cruz really tried to back out of his using the word "terrorist", but it sounded pretty stupid to me.

If nothing else, could you link to this again, somewhere in an unz comment?

PS: Good afternoon Mr. Moderator,

I too am glad to read that, about your wife.

When PanicFest first started the hypnotists on the TV had mine frightened for awhile. (As documented here...)

https://www.peakstupidity.com/blogworks.php?action=viewbpost&id=1464

My wife and I see things pretty similarly politically.

I don't vote, because I don't believe in it anymore.
(Don't vote, it provides them a desperately needed veneer of legitimacy.)

Years ago, my wife told me she was going to run some errands and then stop by to vote.
(It wasn't one of the big elections.)
Anyway, when she got home I asked, "How was voting."
To which she replied, "The line was too long and I didn't want the ice cream to melt."

Glad to hear your wife is on-board with homeschooling.
"Government" skool (and some private skools too) are child abuse.

Homeschooling is the best way to go.

Cheers to a great afternoon, Mr. Moderator.

PS: Mr. Smith, I'm glad to read that, about your wife. I am blessed that I'm not with someone who either started as a left-wing harpie (well, that wouldn't have happened!) or turned into one. As I've written, on the PanicFest, she had her moments (big ones) from March through mid-summer of '20. She has come around completely.

As for politics, she told me early on that she had no interest at all. I had no problem at all like that. Politics shouldn't have to matter in the realm of men and women getting together, but in this day and age... would it be a little like 2 brothers who ended up fighting on the opposite side in the War Between the States?

Anyway, in '16 she voted for Trump, but it's only been since '19 or so since she's really cared, given her own money to some campaigns (most of it a waste, in both our opinions at this point), and all that. She's completely on-board with home-schooling, when the time comes, which is a 180-degree change from her attitude in '15.

PS

@Mr Smith, first, thanks for your comments/suggestions on the gaming thread. I’ve been traveling, so not commenting as much.

Re, Ted Cruz, remember when Trump went after his father being implicated in JFK’s demise? Is it any coincidence the senior Cruz was at UT at the same time as Lee Harvey Oswald?

PS

"Ted Cruz is a POS."

Yeah, I've never trusted him. He is an able speaker and clearly a smart guy, but he is a shifty opportunist who, when push-comes-to-shove, can be relied upon to support the uniparty establishment.

Over the last year or so he has been holding up Biden nominees for the courts and ambassadorships on account of them being too left-wing. And they are - some of them very left wing. And good for him for doing so. Then just recently, he offered Schumer to drop all his objections to those nominees as long as the Democrats get on board with blocking the Nordstream II pipeline in Europe. So much for his conservative principles. Those left-wing judges could do a lifetime's worth of damage to the country, but he's willing to let them on the bench in exchange for getting something that is important to the natural gas industry and serves the "Russia-is-bad" MIC/Foreign Policy establishment.

PS: Greetings Mr. Newman,

Nah, she's cool. She knows that most of the news is somewhere between straight up propaganda and outright bullshit. (Unless it's sports scores, and neither of us are into sportsball.)(Our friend Ricky is a Georgia Bulldogs fan so sometimes she'll look to see if Georgia won, just out of curiosity.) She watches for a little while most mornings (usually the nightly news from the night before) so she knows what the normies are being told (and lied to about). She reads google news for the same reason.

“Lastly, maybe you should take a shot every "Our Democracy". Wait, we want you back in here not in the hospital!”

Thanks for your concern. There is no way I could take that many shots of liquor, especially this early in the day.
If any of us were to play the "Our Democracy™" drinking game, it would be best to drink water.

☮

PS: Great info. on how wiki is used, Adam. I will check out our link examples a bit later - just 1/2 way through the Tucker/Cruz interview. (spoiler alert - Cruz was backtracking to keep his Conservative votes. I wrote more or hear from you all on that.)

I hope it's not prying too much, but is your wife pretty OK with the MSM/Lyin' Press? Too bad, if so. Lastly, maybe you should take a shot every "Our Democracy". Wait, we want you back in here not in the hospital!

PS: Good morning everyone,

Thanks for the update about the news in the German media, Mr. Kief, and also for the Scott Adams quote. I agree that it was a gentle reminder that people are getting tired of the bullshit Washington FS.

I've had some luck fixing wikipedia entires Mr. Moderator. If a page isn't locked anyone can make changes by hitting the edit button in the upper right. The most recent change I made that stuck was to this page...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribute

It was a small change. Just clearing up some wording to make the definition more clear. You can see the changes made to a page by looking at the view history button next to the edit button.

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tribute&action=history

You can see that my change was made on December 15th, 2021. Here's a comparison of what the page look like before and after my edit...

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tribute&diff=1060384643&oldid=1039130102

Usually, and especially with anything controversial, the wikipedia censors keep a pretty close eye on the page edits to make sure they conform to their official narrative. I'm sure there are some pages they don't care much about, though somehow those are not the pages that I usually tinker with.

Amusingly, my wife is watching CBS news this morning as I type this. The “insurrection!” propaganda is so thick you can cut it with a spoon. I think I've heard “It was an attack on our democracy” or “It was an attack on democracy itself” dozens of times in the last ten minutes.

“Those who repeat the big lie that the election was stolen!”

I may have mentioned this before, but I lost faith in the electoral process after the George W. Bush election. Shortly after that election I downloaded three different versions of the GEMS (Global Election Management Systems) software to see how it worked. I quickly learned how insecure voting software is. Within minutes I had figured out how to write a little script that could be run from a thumb drive to alter vote counts without ever logging in to the GEMS software or opening the election database in MS access. (GEMS uses a MS access database as it's backbone and won't run without it.) If I could figure this out so quickly just Imagine what some properly motivated political operatives with some funding could do. I learned that day that our elections are a scam.

I think the so called “insurrection!” (Ahhh!) was a predictable response to millions of Americans who believed in the sanctity of the electoral process suddenly learning that they are in fact fraudulent. That these news people and congress critters continuously say that anyone who thinks the election was stolen is lying or delusional is not going to help heal the divide.

I find it interesting that the same people calling us delusional for not believing the outcome of the last election are the same people who think that men can become women by updating their pronouns.

CBS news is done and now she's turning on Lester Holt. He's going to interview that crazy old psychopath, Nancy Pelosi. I kinda wish I had one of those little click counters to see how many times they say “Our Democracy™” “The Big Lie” or “Trauma”.

Anyway... I hope you all have a great day.

(P.S. Ted Cruz is not a natural born citizen. Rafael Edward Cruz was born on December 22, 1970, at Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.)

PS: Dieter, thanks for the German take on this too.

Mr. Anon, perhaps it's that they are scared politically, not scared that anyone was ever going to and will ever take over their precious government offices and functions. They don't like to see White people ever become a solidified political force. As you wrote, that goes for the higher-ups in both squads of The Party. The GOP just has to humor us a bit.

Ted Cruz is a POS. Back in -'16 during the GOP primary, my brother (also anti-immigration-invasion) told me he liked Cruz better than Trump, as Cruz was even better than Trump on that issue. From what you'd hear from him, yes he was. I told my brother that I had more trust in Trump not straight-out lying to us and acting the opposite in office rather than Cruz.

I will pull up that Tucker video later on. Thanks.

PS: Adam, have you had any luck fixing things on wikipedia before? I've neither written a section nor changed anything. Do you need to sign up in some manner?

Dieter, I would hope Scott Adams' take would be the case. (I'd appreciate a link to that one.) I lean toward evil political lies vs. stupidity on this one. I just don't think they ever were really scared of The People, other than maybe for a few minutes when the evacuated. Perhaps "insulted" is the better word. The political class doesn't want regular people to be near them, much less try to tell them what to do (like this was some Democracy or a Constitutional Republic or something.

To me, the Establishment's acting like this was the next thing to Pearl Harbor or Ft. Sumter is just reverse-Overton window pushing, in the same way that George W. Bush was made to be a Conservative religious tyrant or what-have-you as he expanded the Feral Gov't and didn't act much different from. a D-squad President would (in that age!), with some slight R-squad restraints. With GWB, all that talk about him being a big nasty Conservative helped him with GOP support while things were still heading inexorably toward the left.

Now, they are telling this ludicrous story, but many in the middle of the road may at least be swayed toward "well, they should get a trial at least, but yeah, we've got to protect our government better and stop this from happening again. More Motherland Security! Domestic this time!"

PS

By the way, did anybody see Tucker Carlson's show tonight? I mean specifically his public caning of Ted Cruz?

PS

The Democrats have shamelessly exploited the Capitol Riot as their own little Reichstag Fire. Early on, a lot of Republicans in Congress did too, until they realized that doing so was deeply unpopular with the people who actually vote for them. Liz Cheney has obviously written off her career as a Congresswoman. I wouldn't be suprised to see her in a future Democratic administration as their token Republican. She might even just switch parties.

But the cynical exploitation of the bogus "insurrection" is, I think, perhaps not all that's behind it. I think perhaps it really scared the crap out of the establishment. Middle and Working-class white people rioted - they took their politics to the streets. Think about that. When was the last time that happened? Never, in my lifetime. I think that the reason the Biden Regime is coming down so hard on the J6 defendants - to completely crush them - is to discourage the right from that kind of direct political action and organizing. To strangle any such movement in the crib.

PS
Yeah, no insurrection Mr. Blanc. - That's how it looks like from afar too.

Big articcles in German newspapers about Jan. 6th. No surprises though. Gaslighting big style here too, Mr. Smith. Most of it done by young women, who most likely know close to nothing about what really went down.

Best metaphor for Jan 6th is Scott Adams' remark on his padcast on Jan. 8th 202o or so: - : It was a - quite friendly - tap on the back of the establishment by rater ordinary folks who said: Ok, look, we're still there. Don't think you can fool us! - And you can't fool us about the elections either.

For me, that sums it up - and sounds right.

PS: Good afternoon everyone,

Who, whom indeed.

“I haven't seen a thing in the Lyin' Press about the late Mrs. Babbitt...”

And you probably don't want to. The pieces in the lyin' press that I've noticed are hit pieces. Here's an example...

https://apnews.com/article/ashli-babbitt-capitol-siege-a15c7e52a04d932972b7a284c7a8f7df

They're still gaslighting us about the stolen election and the 5 people who died that day...

https://apnews.com/article/jan-6-capitol-siege-national-day-infamy-03af7b4c7f0ee1a1c3bdb5dbf2728f84

Most of the other people who died that day died of natural causes with the exception being Rosanne Boyland who died from acute amphetamine intoxication. (Though I suppose it is natural to die when you take too many amphetamines.)

Only Ashli Babbitt was killed. She was murdered by Michael Leroy Byrd.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Ashli_Babbitt

Ctrl+F "murder" = 0
Ctrl+F "killed" = 14 with only 1 being in the article itself.

I would change the title to the Murder of Ashli Babbitt but it is locked. Wouldn't matter as they'd quickly change it back.

The January 6th Inquisition has a nice ring to it.
Thank you, Mr. Alarmist.

I hope you're right about secession, Mr. Blanc.

☮

PS They’re not worried about a real insurrection. They know that we’re nowhere near a real insurrection. That’s why they can rub our noses in this phony one and say, “What are you going to do about it?” I’m skeptical that there will ever be an insurrection. But what might happen could be along the following lines. As Those Who Rule Us implement ever loopier policies, they will lose control of the forces of chaos that they have called into being. As those forces become more uncontrolled, ordinary people on the peripheries will have to start defending themselves. They will begin to create informal institutions for that defense. They will pull further and further out of the reach of the central authority/authorities. As the central authority/authorities become ever more impotent, those informal institutions will become sovereign over the territories that they control. People are talking more and more about secession. This is how I believe secession might occur. Slowly and organically.

PS: Besides the State on Patriot anarcho-tyranny, there's a big racial "who, whom" here, and that's likely what you refer to, Alarmist.

Imagine if it had been a white Capitol cop murdering a BLM lady.

PS

Insurrection, Inquisition.

Who whom.
