Ponch and John to the rescue on the 101

That's US-101, called the Ventura Freeway, the Santa Anna Freeway, or the Hollywood Freeway depending on where you are and which way you're going. Like any road in Southern California since Jim Rockford used to tail people, at $200 per day, + expenses, the word "Freeway" cannot be counted on to be applicable at all times. Yesterday, it was the northbound lanes of this road that got jammed up. No, not a 27-car pile-up due to a woman putting on make-up, but some anti-Trump latina/o's decided to block the lanes with a banner. People hate these antifa wastes-of-human-protoplasm (we at Peak Stupidity have 1st-person knowledge of this) already, but Southern Californians hate traffic jams probably more than that.
This is not the way to win the hearts and minds of the people, people! Here's the cool part, off of iSteve (the link above):
Five protesters were taken into custody, and the lanes were quickly cleared, according to the CHP.Now, CHP stands for the California Highway Patrol, and we will now explain the post title to our younger readers who have never heard of them. There was this late-1970's TV show that immortalized the CHP back in the day when California was still almost paradise, but put in a little "i" to make the abbreviation CHiPs, the show's title. It seems as though only one CHiP officer came to the scene... probably John, as his Chicano* partner Ponch (Officer Frankl Poncheralla) was probably in the middle of his siesta at this time of day. He tore down the poster pretty quickly and got the traffic going. We are not fans of the US Police State, but yes blocking the freeway with a banner is not legal, and that is a decent use of the highway patrol for a change.
"We've got a 7-Mary-3 over here on the northbound 101 at mile marker 223. There are a couple of Mary's, no 7 Mary's blocking the road, and we've only got 3 tasers, so call it a 7-Mary-3. OK, it's done. Call rampart, yeah, patch us over to that other show, "Emergency", so we can get these Mary's patched up, then ship them off to Bellevue." Wait, I may be conflicted among a plethora of action '70's TV shows here, but YOU GET THE IDEA, RIGHT?
Well, some lightly-annoyingly-accented Latina chick filmed the whole thing, and it sounds like she was part of the crew that decided to win the hearts and minds of the people trying to get to work on time. (The video is at the same link.) It's really hard to tell whether this chick is so damn stupid to really believe what she spouts out or just trying to push the envelope to the hard-left a little further. It is hilarious:
- "Oh my God. They're holding a fucking banner on the 101 freeway, and he's ... ripping that..."
- "This is fucking absurd.. a cop from the highway patrol is ripping the banner and threatening the protesters..."
I can't continue. Even 5 minutes or so of extreme stupidity exposure (listening to this sick broad) could be damaging, according to the hard-working folks at "our" OSHA, but the one cop got the mess cleaned up that quick. Kudo's from Sergeant Getraer for cleaning up the situation.
Our illustrious narrator just didn't get the anarcho-tyranny she expected while eating her refried beans and listening to the Mexican Radio the other morning.

Is this Pope on Dope?
Posted On: Tuesday - November 21st 2017 11:54PM MST
In Topics: Commies Humor Global Climate Stupidity So-called Pope Francis
One can only hope. Peak Stupidity can cope with a Pope on dope, but nope ... Back in September, in "Is Global Climate DisruptionTM Real? Is the Pope Catholic?", we chalked up the stupidity of this Argentine Commie up to a run-in with the structure of the Pope-Mobile.
Now, we see that "Pope" Francis, titular* head of the Catholic Church, has got a bug up the Papal rear-end about his apparently undeniable
Now, not to get into the history of some of the Middle-Age Popes in terms of being perverts, we would be the last to tar all Popes with the same broad brush. The current Pope is no pre-vert, and probably not high, but just lightly retarded. That's OK, that's OK, a differently-cognizant individual should be given an opportunity to run the Catholic Church, as appointed by God, as any thinking man, even in these times of anti-Christian fervor, what with 1.5 Billion Moslems having started a demographic invasion of Europe, because, like, diversity. It's kind of like how one of our great military leaders, General Casey said about the Ft. Hood massacre, "... as horrific as this tragedy
From the San Francisco "Gate" article:
In his landmark 2015 environmental encyclical, Francis said global warming is "mainly" due to human activity and he called for fossil fuels to be progressively phased out without delay.Yes, semi-retarded Pope = engineer/physicist with 20 years mathematical modeling experience. Well, he's partially right, in that one cannot develop a technical solution to a theory that has been neither defined nor observed.
In his message, the Argentine pope denounced that efforts to combat climate change are often frustrated by those who deny the science behind it or are indifferent to it, those who are resigned to it or think it can be solved by technical solutions, which he termed "inadequate."
Is it possible that "Pope" Francis IS like some of the corrupt Popes of the days of yore after all. Again, we don't think he is a pre-vert, but he may be trying to bring back the concept of indulgences. 1000 years ago, +/- 300 (I've read books on this, but can't recall many details ... at least before Martin Luther came along) forgiveness by God for sins was sold by big wigs at the Vatican and its branch offices for cash - they had neither debit nor credit cards during those years - I do remember that. These deals were called "indulgences". Is it possible the Vatican would like to take charge of a sort of Carbon-Credit (forgiveness for sins of emmission) in trade for cash (or major credit cards)? You know they're gonna be needing infusions of cash to buck up that wall, seeing as how ISIS has already photoshopped-up a poster of the Pope's beheading. They don't want him alive. We here at Peak Stupidity would just rather he cut out the Papal Bull, is all.
* Yeah, had to get that word in here somehow.

That's too short to end the post, so here's another standard bluegrass number, "Rocky Top" by the Osborne Brothers of Kentucky, written by Felice and Boudleaux Bryant and released and performed back in late 1967.
Peak Stupidity got you down? There's always the bluegrass music, and some of that corn from those jars there (man, were those guys some hardcore preppers!... wait ...)
"Wish that I was on ol' Rocky Top

I'm no Robert Johnson, and if I'd sold my soul to the devil, I'd have asked for "infinite hot girls" along with the guitar playing skills... I'm no Donald Trump either, but I would have put some thought into this, along with money for a good lawyer (wait, he wouldn't know what a soul was, never mind), uhhh, where was I ... but I was down at a crossroads, driving, not hitching, out in the country (shorter route than the interstates). Well, as predicted previously on Peak Stupidity, I think the road signs are NOT being kept up due to the fact that MOST, but not this traveler, are blindly following their electronics.
See, this T-intersection had a left turn that was pointed out only 1/4 mile back, when you couldn't even see the intersection! I'd been here before but most of a year back, and just once. It came to me that this turn, onto the US-numbered highway - no, not interstate, but a decent two-lane road, had fooled me before, so I turned into the gas station right at the intersection to both relieve myself, get some nabs, and make sure about this turn. "Is that highway 84?", I asked the clerk who was . - Indian. Did I mention this was out in the country? "I don't know." Did I mention this was a US-numbered highway, and the store was right at the intersection? I just mulled this over while using the facilities and figured that this was just weird.
The young Indian guy spoke English well, and was fairly nice, so I really didn't want to cause an argument, but then I was just pissed enough to not buy anything. "I'm curious - how can you live here and not know the roads right here at this intersection? How long have you lived here?", I asked on the way out. "Oh, I've lived here a long time, but I don't drive, so I don't really know the roads." "Oh, I see." Oh, I really do see something here:
As mentioned here recently, but before I'd learned some more details from an acquaintance in the know about just how organized the illegal immigration racket (lots of restaurants are involved) is with the Chinese people, there are millions of illegal aliens in this country of quite a few other ethnicities than just the Chicanos (hey give me a break, I've not finished all the episodes of "Chico and the Man" yet - I'm a bit behind in terminology.) This guy had to have been placed here, just to work in this particular gas station, by some "handlers" as it were, and as ordered by the immigration racketeers in charge, possibly from deep in Bombay or Calcutta. It's just too weird. If this guy had been living there just a little while and even part-way assimilated, he'd be driving. I mean, this was 1 mile or more outside a small town of no more than 5,000 people.
This stuff is everywhere, people. It's out of control, and I don't know of any other country in the whole world that would let this go on for this long. Has this country sold it's soul to the devil like Robert Johnson? What'd we get out of it, a country full of Applebees, Chili's, Ruby Tuesday's, and TGI Fridays (the bread is OK) along with the NFL, March Madness, 517 cable channels full of crap (almost like a circus)? Heck, I still can't play the blues worth a dang, and am barely competent with the "Wildwood Weed" - it's not been a good deal for us. I'm no lawyer, without a soul to be stole, but American really needs to hire one to see if we can nullify this contract with the devil, aka, the elite globalists, to get its soul back.
I believe we're sinkin' down .....
See, these white guys could play, and they probably could afford a better lawyer than Robert Johnson.

Dealing with tragic reality and the women's vote
Posted On: Monday - November 20th 2017 8:51AM MST
In Topics: Websites Feminism Pundits Media Stupidity Female Stupidity
As usual, this post is not timely with the news that spurred the idea of a post, but we get kind of random here at Peak Stupidity anyway with the order of things. It's all a big ball of stupid, and sometimes we've got to just cut into it with a machete rather than try to unravel it carefully.
The DrudgeReport website (written about here, here, and here) had a number of headlines together a few weeks back after that church shooting by the madman in that small town, Sutherland, Texas. I'm always careful to see where the links go (status bar on the bottom on a computer, but how do you know on a tablet?) before clicking to either the Lyin Press like NYT, WaPo, or what-have-you, OR any of the sites that I know to be full of ads, hence 1 - 2 minute wait times until the screen stops fucking moving, and I can read the text. Yes, this latter thing annoys me immensely.
One of the headlines of about 8 of them regarding the Sutherland massacre was something like "8 in family killed". This post's intention is not to write about guns, though maybe a whole lot more should be written about the cntrl-left's multi-decade program of emptying out mental hospitals (almost every one of these shootings was perpetrated by a guy that should have been kept away from people somewhere or was on drugs in lieu of being kept away from people somewhere.) That being written about anyway, haha, no, the point of this post is about tragedies and the ways of men vs. women in dealing with them.
See, the headline leads to an article I don't really want to read about. It is horrible to lose one family member in this way, but almost all of a big family would be that much worse. I can't begin to know how sad the remaining family members would be. All one can do is try to figure out how to prevent something like this in one's own "backyard", so to speak. I should say, as a man, all one can do ... See, for women, their feelings can be very strong and will override all logical thinking. This is why that particular headline was the on Drudge - to get the women's clicks (Matt Drudge links to some good stories and is somewhat conservative, but I can tell it's still clicks above all else for him.) The women who click and read that article can get their feelings-fix for the day (good or bad, in this case bad.)
Now, I wrote two paragraphs above already that this is a mental health problem above all else. That is just the area of our culture/society that should be discussed in order to make any in-roads in trying to prevent another occurrence like this. Some on the cntrl-left may of course try to push for more gun control, but the public has gotten at least smart enough to not buy that anymore. The problem we have is that the women's feelings, as they override logical thinking, will aid in pushes for more stupidity. Well, it wouldn't be a problem, if the women readers would just cry a bit, get on facebook to give condolences, and do some therapeutic tweeting. The problem is, they vote in elections too. This big mistake has cost our society dearly.

Lotto, tax on stupidity

Yeah, I know, I know, it's entertainment! Spending 5 minutes frantically scratching off some cards up at the clerk's counter at the gas station, while I'm waiting to get my change back after filling up the tank, no, that's not entertainment in any sense of the word, especially for me.
This is indeed a tax on stupidity, as you've can't be very bright to understand that the odds are against you. Hell, they advertise that "1/3 of all the money we make goes to the schools!" Yeah, well are you spending any of this money on any stats teachers to teach the little ones probabilities? How would the state end up with any money at all if the odds were with you? I'm just trying to get my money back for un-pumped gas, because it's cheaper to pay in cash, and now that you have to prepay everywhere, you've got to go in twice, unless you know your tank really well. So, forgive me if I make a remark or two.
Hey, this site promotes Liberty/Libertarianism (one of our topic keys), right, so what's the problem? Peak Stupidity is all for freedom to gamble, but there are 2 problems here:
1) We've got Socialism around here anymore, not liberty. So, though the lotto IS a tax on stupidity, the money spent must be redistributed to lots of these suckers via welfare, as they can't seem to make ends meet. The money just goes round and round ... where it ends, nobody knows.
2) Where does the state government get off deciding that ONLY it can run a gambling (oh, excuse me, "gaming") operation? Anyone should be able to have a gambling business, but The State wants the monopoly on this vice. Again, follow the money.
Anyway, all that aside, it's not like this is glittery, glamorous Las Vegas. Even Las Vegas in no longer glittery, glamorous Las Vegas. The one-armed bandits (slot machines) don't loudly spit out a pound of change when they happen to let you win once in a while ... to keep spirits up. They just print your winnings on a piece of paper now. You can cash that out, or stick it into another machine and let it suck the money back out of that paper. That's not my idea of a good time. Lost Wages is just a big-corporate-run outfit now, and they make it less fun, and give you worse odds, than the damn mob that used to run it.
So, excuse me if I could not help remarking "suckers!" out loud as this one lady was making a big transaction about 6 or 8 different types of lottery cards. The old guy next to me while I said that turned out to have one lotto card in his hand too. Haha, he didn't know what to say! Excuse me also, if I only partake of any Lost Wages entertainment via old movies, when there was still some fun to be had in this country:
We don't like to repeat music here at Peak Stupidity, so we refer the reader to the appropriate song for this post, here, the Lido Shuffle by the smooth-singing Boz Scaggs.
Next stop shy town
Lido put the money down let her roll.
He said one more job ought to get it,
one last shot 'fore we quit it,

More on living paycheck-to-paycheck
Posted On: Saturday - November 18th 2017 7:26PM MST
In Topics: Pundits Economics
Way back, more than 3 months ago, Peak Stupidity posted "Credit? Forget it! You got it? You get it!", a post about most Americans' spendthrift habits. People live paycheck-to-paycheck that don't have to. Then there are lots that are not well-off, and have to partially due to necessity and partially due to thinking things are necessities that are not. You could say that this is all their own business.
Sure, if you don't care what happens in the
The key factor underlying much of this sort of thing is the extreme financial fragility of DC pundits and thinktankers, and their abject terror at risking the unemployment lines. Basically, if the CEO of Coke announces a new soft drink strategy, all his mid-level marketing people naturally get into line behind it, and the exact analogy is true of all these “mainstream opinion journalists.”
Well, pundits are not a significant percentage of the population, even if you do get down to the Peak Stupidity level. That small group does not matter to the economy. However, this brings up my point again from that previous article about how Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck and with as much debt as possible. This limits lots of American's ability to fight the system, especially the hard-core degenerate PC stuff coming down from on-high in the big corporations. People don't feel like they can afford to resist in the least bit. To self-quote ourselves again here:
Let me now get to the point of why this way of living also results in a big increase in the control-freak, Orwellian police state society. Let me go back to that "living paycheck-to-paycheck" phrase. Here's what's the problem with that, aside from the normal worries about the monthly struggle to pay down all the STUFF: One loses much control of his direction in life when he is tied in to the incoming salary on a very short time-line. Let me put this better as an example. I've been reading about the fired Google-guy who wrote a simple, in-my-opinion still PC, memo about the whole male/female differences thing. (This post is not about the particulars, and, as to be expected, Steve Sailer is all over it here, here, here, here, and here.). This guy may come out of this with a job soon, just because this situation has gotten lots of attention. That doesn't happen to the average employee, however, and it can't. The closer you are bound to your job via your tight month-to-month budget, the less likely you will quit, speak-out, or even push-back a slight bit, when you are harassed with all the mass stupidity. You are not a free agent if you live like this - you are much more beholden to your employer and must be more of a suck-up, a kiss-ass, whatever it entails, to the dieversity and PC-crap than if you had a year or two's salary put away to find a new job or even a new career and leave the stupidity behind! [Links are only in the original post.]
* Mr. Unz created a very nicely-working web site, with lots of good content (it's one of only 4 sites on the blogroll). However, he has featured a number of flat-out screamin-Commies as contributors lately (feel a post in my gut right now...). Mr. Unz's fairly-rare, occasional comments don't make him out to be the wisest guy we've heard from either, or even close. This one was worth reading, though, as it is cogent and brought up this post.
** Mr. Derbyshire's post relates to the Peak Stupidity post "On Charlottesville again - cntrl-left is picking up the pace". We did not specifically use any expression involving "masks coming off", but I somehow thought there was a post saying this. Anyway, it's well worth reading.

No, no link to us, but at least they used our term in the first line in one of their usual articles on financial woes of Americans yesterday, thusly:
As the storm clouds of peak stupidity gather over the heads of the millennial generation who were conned by banks, government, and universities to take out excessive amounts of leverage in auto loans, credit cards, and student debt; millions have flocked to a new website seeking ‘Sugar Daddies’ and or even ‘Sugar Mommies’ to pay off their debt amid an economic environment where wage growth remains non-existent. [I had to remove ZH's bold, and put my own there.]The funny thing is, I only clicked on this particular article due to the enticing name "Millions Of Millennials Could Be Trading Sex For Their Next Debt Payment - Here's How". OK, ZeroHedge, you got me again with your girly picture on the main page and especially this headline. Hey, don't bother, horny readers, there is no blown-up picture on the article page (besides some pretty good graphs, especially compared to ZH's usually crappy graphs). There is no "Here's How!" either. The 2nd half of the article on this finance topic was very good, though having not a whole lot to do with the headline.
It's kind of funny, as this one is by "Tyler Durden", not a guest, and it's on ZeroHedge's core material, the financial state of people, companies and governments. They just must not be having enough readers click on those types of articles without some enticement. Yes, I felt like a sucker, but then one of the graphs is a decently made and gives good info. so it may appear here later - not a total loss not getting to see here's how the college chicks do tricks, after all.

"There's a lot of ruin in a nation." - Part 3
Posted On: Thursday - November 16th 2017 10:38AM MST
In Topics: History Global Financial Stupidity Cars China Economics
As part of the Peak Stupidity on-going writing on the topic of "There's a lot of ruin in a nation", from here, and prior to that, here, I want to present one simple arithmetic calculation of some pretty large numbers. This has to do with how much money does it take, actually, to buy up a significant portion of our nation's wealth (the amount of "ruin" left, per Adam Smith's quote).
Many have commented over the last few years or decade that this situation with China's economic rising is just the same old same-old, as in "yeah, they said all that about Japan, back in the 1980's and it didn't amount to a hill of beans." Many times, yes, it's NOT different this time. However, this time, it IS different. In both magnitude of the money and population of China vs. Japan, and the magnitude of just how far in the hole (follow-up here) the United States is, it IS! DIFFERENT! THIS! TIME!
Let's go back, way on back, to the mid-1970's when Japanese manufacturing might suddenly became apparent to Americans over just a few years. They'd already been making the best, or at least best at reasonable cost, cameras for a while. Kodak and Polaroid had had and were still somewhat having their day, but the Minoltas, Pentax's, Canons, and Nikons (so popular a name, that is is memorialized in an EARLY-70's Paul Simon song) with the Single-Lens Reflex professional-style high-quality cameras. OK, photography was big, but still one market for products out of hundreds; however, automobiles were, and still are, a different story. The Japanese-made automobiles came next.
One can blame part of it on the sudden, not-quickly-fulfilled demand for fuel-efficient vehicles after the 1st "energy crisis" of 1973, the fat-and-lazy union. workers in Detroit, the poor quality of the US made vehicles that consumers were just used to (rolling over the 100,000 mile mark on the odometer back then was just a matter of luck, or the owner being a very competent car guy). Whatever the combination of factors was, the Japanese came into this market with a vengeance. The difference between 1973 and 1980 in terms of what one would see on the road was amazing. Even with the bad-mouthing of the Japanese, just based on American patriotism, people spent their money on quality and fuel-efficient cars, and the Japanese were kicking ass. However, even by the late 1980's near the end of the apparent Japanese economic might, the US big-3 auto manufacturers still had a big majority of the US market.
Hey, it WAS worrisome, and tensions were sometimes high (see the 1986 humorous feel-good movie Gung Ho - not even a Japanese expression, it's Chinese! -with a young Michael Keaton). I mean, they Japs bought Rockefella Center for cryin' out loud! OMG! Well, this all faded when the Japanese stock market collapsed like many paper/computer types of wealth do. Japan still has a large economy and we all know they have kept up the high-quality and heavy-duty manufacturing as opposed to Americans.
That's
Wait, when Peak Stupidity started this blog almost a year ago, we writers were led to believe there would be no math. Apparently, this is not the case! [quit bitching... go talk to HR! - ed.] $2,000,000,000,000 is just a rough idea of how much money is owed to China. Back to the point of this series of posts, how much of our country could be sold out to pay this back? It's not just Rockafella Center, hell, they can take all of NY City, and that wouldn't bother me a bit. No, lets talk about farmland. I will make rough estimates, as that's all we need. We would like comments, but please let's not quibble over factors as large as 2 even, as I want to show an order-of-magnitude estimate.
The contiguous US has an area of ~ 3,000,000 mi2. Just the rich midwest farmland along, with 1-2 ft. thick topsoil created from thousands of years of tall-grass growing in this prairie, may be 10-15% of that, but let's start and end with round numbers to show the precision that we have and don't have. Call it 500,000 mi2, possibly including some other not-so-rich but decent farmland. There are 640 acres in a square mile. Round off and get 300,000,000 million acres. Hell, let's just bring it down to 200,000,000 acres, not for the hell of it, but to make the next calculation a snap.
What does good farmland cost? $5,000/acre? Again, it's just to get an idea here. That makes this farmland worth right at $1,000,000,000,000 ... that's ONE TRILLION BUCKS, and we owe what, TWO TRILLION for starters?. It is easy to see the magnitude of the problem we are in due to the financial hole we have dug due to trying to live as a well-off people when we aren't.
Let me just respond against a couple of general arguments. "Yeah, well, that's what they said about Japan." Besides the order-of-magnitude larger problem there is this time, as already explained, are there any signs that the Chinese economy will just fold, and that ours will get right back on it's feet? I don't see it. The next is simple patriotism, with "We need to just pass a law. We can't let them buy us out, and we just won't." Yeah? The money talks, laws notwithstanding. OK, foreign Chinese (or any, for that matter) buyers can't buy US property - not the case now, but it should be anyway. This doesn't matter as much as one might think. Who has the money to pay for the big companies that do the farming? Are you going to argue with the customer over what you will produce? Who may own all the distribution in the future? Who will pay to get the your "American-thinking" laws changed? (It didn't take a whole lot at all to bribe the US government's executive branch in the 1990's-2000's to open the markets one-sidedly.) It's all a matter of money, period, on who owns your labor.

Immigration invasion, assimilation, and refugees
Posted On: Thursday - November 16th 2017 7:56AM MST
In Topics: Immigration Stupidity
Before we post a much-needed conclusion for the series (Part 3 here) on the demographic suicide of the Western world, I'd like to intersperse this one post with more information from personal observation. This is not to signal my "compassion" and "feelings" and that I'm not a "hater" (there's a lot of stuff out there to hate so ...). It's just to try to clarify the reason Americans are so rightfully hot about this topic.
I have known a family from the Orient, the "Far East", one may call it (were one using a cheap China-made compass or something, or just bad with directions.). The many brothers and sisters came from Vietnam with their Mama, and were true refugees. They'd have likely been killed by the Commies, as can be the case for anyone known to be educated and smart. See Communists want to be the "intellectuals" so they can be more equal than the others and run things - they can't have competition. Back to the topic, there is a big difference between real refugees, some of which happen to make it to the US, and the invasion of the young men "refugees" to Europe, along with the many hundreds of thousands being invited by churches in the US on a money-making scam. The US version of this invited invasion has been well-documented by one nice lady in the midwest, Ann Corcoran (hopefully, with a little bit of help from other volunteers of truth) on Refugee Resettlement Watch . She has been doing yeoman's work describing this major field of stupidity/destruction of the country. If I knew what a "yeoman" was, I'd hire one on right here for Peak Stupidity!
The Vietnamese family I've know for many decades has been doing very well, as one would expect, or really better than that. I also had a friend long ago from Latin America... yes that Latin American, the one south of here. He is not from Mexico, not here illegally, and is one top .01% smart engineer. We were good friends, and as I've said way back in some post I can't home in on, I got along with him and another immigrant (from the East Bloc - also escaped) friend better than most Americans, at the time.
These are examples, and one could say, "yeah, and there are many more.". Sure they are, but I've also been all around California and seen place that are Mexico transplanted and China towns where you may as well be in China, but with more American-made automobiles. The people en masse are the people that they always were. In contrast, my friends from around the world had assimilated very well, at least in the ways that were worth assimilating to.
I don't put most of the blame for non-assimilation of the current 10's of millions of immigrants since 1965 (40-50 million total, just LEGAL, perhaps?) on them. If you bring in large crowds from the same place, why wouldn't they stick together and keep with the ways of their culture? Assimilation doesn't work with large groups - that's a simple concept. Whose idea was it to bring this many every year? Oh, yeah, that's right, the Blue wing of the party wants the votes, the Red wing wants cheap labor for the big donors, and the elilte Globalists want to run a population replacement to get the 3rd world set up over here. Anyway, say you were an ex-pat in Costa Rica... very tempting, as described here. It's very natural to hang out with the other Americans most of the time. What chaps Americans' hides over here is just the gall of the non-assimilated immigrants to demand we become their old country over here and let more in. How long do you think a legally-resident American ex-pat would remain out of jail in Mexico if he protested for his "rights" in Mexico and for English to required at the bars (hey, well all know "uno mas cervaza, Senorita" anyway, so who cares?). Assimilation of foreigners has not been working for many years now, due to the large numbers AND the invitation of people with cultures that are diametrically opposed to ours (Somalians in Minnesota? Nigga,
Nope, none of these (now) men and women came into America on a big boat into NYC harbor passing by that statue in the picture. They did not have a stay on Ellis Island like little Vito Corleone - oh, by the way, how did THAT ONE turn out?. Things do change sometimes, and believing that all the immigrants of the last 5 decades are just like the Europeans of one to 1 1/2 CENTURIES ago is the same as the Neocons' belief that 2017 Russia is the 1975 USSR. Even the Euros, especially central- and southern- , of a century ago and back were not assimilable very easily, when you come to read some history and think about it - this is a subject for another upcoming post.
About the Statue of Liberty: It was given to Americans by the French upon the 100th anniversary of the independence of the United States. It's a commemoration of LIBERTY. The little plaque on the bottom with a poem about someone's reminiscings about her gratitude for being let in this way does not make this statue a "Statue of Invitation" for the entire freaking world. Obviously, if nobody gets this anymore, the assimilation is not working.

J. J. Cale - Call me the Breeze
Posted On: Wednesday - November 15th 2017 8:42PM MST
In Topics: Music Southern rock
Most people would know the Lynyrd Skynyrd cover version of this song better, but they got this one from a musician named J.J. Cale. It doesn't have the Southern Rock sound (a few more electric guitars, at least) like the Skynyrd cover, but it's smoother, and yeah it's the original.
This brings up the usual discussions about well-known artists doing covers of other artists' well known songs. Most of the time, the original is considered the best, right, unless Bob Dylan sung the original? Other times, the new version really does beat out the original in every way you can think of, but maybe that makes it not the original song anymore. Arguably, Elton John's version of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" beats all hell out of the original Beatles version, and I say that as both a Beatles and Elton John fan. By arguably, I mean, you can argue all you want to about it, but you'd still be wrong. ;-}
Anyway, J. J. Cale here with "Call me the Breeze":

Attempted evasion of LP force-feeding, Part *error: integer out of range*
Posted On: Wednesday - November 15th 2017 12:50PM MST
In Topics: TV, aka Gov't Media Curmudgeonry Media Stupidity
If it's gonna be everyday like this, then I'm set for life under the curmudeonry and TV-aka Gov't Media topic keys. LP stands for Lyin' Press here on Peak Stupidity, if you haven't gathered that already.
This time it was at the auto shop, where'd I'd (thought I'd) found a decent battery for one of the vehicles. (Going 6 years with one is a major feat anymore.) Well, this was more of a tire shop, with a NEW LOOK, and that means there wasn't the usual long counter to put stuff on, say the old 25 lb battery, as now the guys behind the ... well, "places", have little "work stations". See, that's just stupid, so I was annoyed already. There was barely room to put the battery right next to the guy's computer, but he said that'd be fine. OK, I'd have to wait just a few minutes, as they've got the one I want, as he'd said on the phone (from his little work station).
It'd be no problem putting up with the TV blaring for just a few minutes, I guess. No, it wasn't a few minutes, as the 1st battery had only 85% or so of the cranking amps of the old one (Cold or normal), so he went back for another. The hanging TV was starting to become an annoyance now, as the 3 or 4 nice chairs were all oriented toward the id-prop box (that's idiotic propaganda) showing a game show with one character dressed as some kind of bird. Hey, I don't know, I don't watch this shit if I can help it. The one guy who had been watching was not sitting there anymore, so I hit the power switch and poooff, instant peace and quiet. Nice!
It turns out the one customer had just gone over to fill up a coffee cup or something. He seemed peeved and asked whether I was the one who turned it off. "Yeah, nobody was watching." "I just went over there for a minute." "I didn't know that. Just turn it back on." Ha! It wasn't that easy - the thing is more of a computer than just a TV, or its input box is, so this wasn't quite so simple as turning it off was." I smiled, as I watched him and then an employee come over to mess with the remote.
"Why'd you turn it off?" "TV's a load of crap, I don't want to hear it." "You could have turned the volume down." Good point, in answer to me, but I thought about it. "No, I didn't want to watch that crap." "I was trying to watch - you shouldn't have mashed the power button." "That turns it off, that's why I mashed it."
"Here's your battery - same cranking amps." said the salesman from his kiosk. It was 1/2 in. taller, but I knew it was gonna work without grounding out on the hood. Good riddance to the place .. and good luck rebooting that shit, you mindless retards. Man, I guess the TV is like enemy number one to Peak Stupidity at this point, as also documented here and here.

"There's a lot of ruin in a nation." - Part 2
Posted On: Tuesday - November 14th 2017 11:53AM MST
In Topics: Global Financial Stupidity Economics Americans
Peak stupidity left off yesterday on this subject with talk about Chna and the trade deficit. I'll get to the real point of this soon enough, in the usual Peak Stupidity fashion. The financial aspect of the "ruin" in our nation is just one part of it, but it is what Adam Smith was referring to and is the most visible and easy to measure. A nation's internal wealth, measured in money, land and other real assets, and the rate at which it is increasing (or NOT) is the big thing. As described in the previous post, (and lots of others with the "Global Financial Stupidity" topic key) the rise of Big Government, the Welfare State, and the massive immigration invasion have made impossible the old dream of an automated low-density, intellectually-oriented society, as read in science fiction years ago.
The tremendous monetary wealth of the United States is being slowly squandered via the trade deficit, and, no matter what people may try to do to stop it, money talks. This is the 1st of various types of "wealth" we are pissing away, so it'll be number 1 here:
1) Monetary and asset wealth - Yes, just on paper we are giving away the country. We still have our land and our towns and our cities, right? Well, OK, to take the last one first, I'm not even sure we could GIVE AWAY some of our cities, as ruined as they have become. We may even have to pay - "Here, Chairman Xi, we will give you Detroit, Baltimore, 1/2 of Chicago, and 18 other medium sized cities AND this nice sum of 1 Billion Yuan... yes, seriously, ... all we ask is that we can leave under our own terms (in armored vehicles) and not be sued. Here are the
2) The "Human Capital" - This is a type of wealth tied up in the knowledge and abiltity of the people. An example of this at the corporate level is very specific but not-documentable knowledge about airplane design by Boeing engineers. After a long hiatus in new production, hence engineer-hiring, lots of human capital can be lost there. There are important things that are passed along just via the old guys hanging with the new guys. Peak Stupidity here, and here. With American manufacturing jobs being few and far between lots of know-how is being lost - that is lost wealth too.
3) The Universities - One of the good sources of innovation and also formerly good things in general for the culture of society are being ruined fairly rapidly (at least lately). It is not just the humanities, which have been going down hill for many decades already. Yes, humanities have been on a long slide in quality of education due in part to the lack of good white collar jobs. In the past, whether one's Literature of the Zulu click-talking hut-dwellers degree, with a minor in Wymny's Gynecological Psychology may not have been specifically useful ("You might not get to use all you learned on the job, mmmkay?"), a college degree meant one could read well, and write well and have some decent reasoning skills. That was usually what was needed for the job "Who will miss the humanities?", an engineer may say, but truly it is a good thing to have people that seek truth in history and literature, as they did in the past.
Then, even in the Sciences, Math, and Engineering, things are going downhill. This is from personal observation. The kids just want to learn how to use this piece of this software and this other. Most do not want the complete understanding of their subjects. This may work in the modern world, but it won't when the SHTF.
We have written about this before, the long-term ruination of the Universities. The reputation is still there somewhat, so it's slightly different from just seeing monetary numbers go into the red. Still, this form of wealth in these institutions are being squandered
4) The Education of our Kids - This type of wealth creation should be on-going; the young ones should be given thinking skills and knowledge to complement what their parents can teach them. We all know this has been going down hill due to the left having taken over the schools in many ways for years now. It's the requirement of less-than-worthless (but nevertheless very costly) Masters degrees in "Education", the creation of an almost all-female teaching staff, and the other PC mumbo-jumbo and busywork that make school teaching a hell compared to 40 years ago at all levels.
In this area, the wealth in the form of young people's wisdom and knowledge base is being dissipated at the schools as opposed to generated. Most parents know that they must teach their kids in order to COUNTERACT what goes on for 7 hours each weekday rather than to SUPPLEMENT it.
5) Government(s) - The big one here is the huge Feral Beast based in the Washington FS, with
This is an institution of negative wealth creation, and that goes for the smaller ones too, state and municipal/country. The bigger the governments, the more wealth is destroyed. Worse than that, the bigger the governments, the more the ability to CREATE wealth is destroyed.
This squandering of wealth can be seen all over America. It's not just the trashed out inner cities. Because of the lack of productivie activity available in small towns, it is easy to see the slow ruin. Hell, we've go the internet now, if our memories don't serve us in this regard. The bright future forseen in the old Sci-Fy books has only 1/2 way come true, and that is the automation aspect, as accelerated via digital electronics. It has gone much further than any of those guys I read would have thought - they were 100 to 500 years off in their predictions! However, the other 1/2 of the future, the type and magnitude of the population was set on the wrong path around the time these guys were writing their books. How were they to know?
I read a comment on another blog about the movie Idiocracy (Great movie by Mike Judge and very funny!). The guy said that this movie wasn't very realistic in that all the systems allowing people to live in that 500 years-from-now future wouldn't be working, as well to spoil it just a tad, people were not very bright anymore. To me, this just brings up Adam Smith - "There's a lot of ruin in a nation". Things may keep going a long time while slowly falling apart. You may pull up the blinds and see this, sooner than 500 years from now, I bet:

"There's a lot of ruin in a nation." - Part 1
Posted On: Monday - November 13th 2017 12:05PM MST
In Topics: Global Financial Stupidity China Economics Americans
As to witnessing economic destruction by government, this guy was just a piker.
Peak Stupidity has presented before this quote from the great Scottish late 18th-century economist Adam Smith, author of "The Wealth of Nations". Mr. Smith's point is described here in an Adam Smith blog (Hey, even 250-year-ago Scottish economists have got blogs now!) in this quote of another blogger:
It was Adam Smith, the great economist, who put it best. “There is a great deal of ruin in a nation”, he once explained, seeking to reassure a panicky young interlocutor. Smith’s point was immensely powerful: it is very hard even for the most misguided, most economically illiterate of politicians to destroy a country’s economy. It takes years, a lot of effort and pretty extreme policies to erode a large stock of human and physical capital built up over a long period of time. A few unusually destructive governments have pulled it off, of course, but it takes some doing, especially when an economy reaches a certain critical threshold in terms of GDP, education, infrastructure and large private sector companies. Capitalism is an extraordinarily resilient system.(My BOLD)Yeah, well, that sounded good at the time, Adam Smith, but you could have never imagined the type of destructive governments that would come about 200-odd years after your writings. They are managing to pull this off as we (well me, anyway) blog right this minute.
The wealth creating ability and summation of wealth over the years of the free-market American economy were also something beyond Adam Smith's imagination. Just think of the history of this nation, and go back to 1960, say, just before the creation of the modern American welfare state, and well before the selling off of our manufacturing might a few decades later. Back in that time, America manufactured for most of the free world, say half the world, as the Commie half built their crap products that were able to be forced only on their own populations. This meant loads of blue collar and white collar jobs for most any American who knew how to work for a living.
We've come a long way, baby, from those times. It's beyond the scope of this post to get into all the details of this decline, but my idea here is more to warn of the unsustainability of the economics of modern day American. (There's that word "sustainability" that the lefties LOVE, but they use if for any old thing.). I mean that this is not a steady-state system that we have. Engineers speak of "control volumes" with inputs, outputs, internal generation, and I'd like to put some figures in a follow-up post to this one. Let me describe this: We wealth generation in America via resource extraction (mining, lumbering, agriculture), and much less than we used to in manufacturing. We export some wealth in the form of lots of raw products (as colonies used to do - think about that) and some products (Boeing aircraft), yet import much more wealth in the form of all of the consumer goods and many industrial products too, mostly from China, elsewhere in the Orient.
The numbers don't look so good. We've been exporting just about 2 1/4 Trillion dollars worth yearly (but this counts services, keep in mind) and importing closer to 2 3/4 Trillion dollars worth, generally leaving a gap, or the trade deficit, of 1/2 a Trilliion. The disparity between exports and imports (decent article here) is not as wide as I would have thought, but again, it counts "services" which could mean anything from lobbying to lawyering - some of it is not truly wealth transfer at all. That's another subject, but that 1/2 Trillion dollar gap each year adds up to a lot of wealth transfered to (mostly) China. What does that mean?
China, meaning their government and businessmen over there, has a lot of US dollars in the form of numbers in accounts and Treasury Bonds. They have to put the money they receive for all the goods somewhere, so the Bonds are the form of "storage". It's been stated here before that it'd be nice to just tell the Chinese, "Hey, about the $2 Trillion we owe ya', you'd be speaking Japanese if we hadn't fought the Japs in the Pacific and far East, so let's just call it even. Listen, you fucked up - you trusted us!". Hey, all truth there, but this money if what you call "fungible"; it's not just in the from of one big note, like a mortgage. It can't work like that. Secondly, remember we are still accumulating a debt to the Chinese yearly in the form of 1/2 a Trillion dollars give or take $200,000,000,000, yearly, so 4 years later, we would be at the same level of indebtedness. Of course, that wouldn't continue if we really were able to blow off the debt, but that would mean a default of the US dollar. That would be a really bad thing, but pretty much the best way out of the mess we're in.
OK, I'm not even at the stuff I wanted to write about, so we'll continue tomorrow.

Western World committing demographic sooeee-cide - Part 3
Posted On: Saturday - November 11th 2017 11:55PM MST
In Topics: Immigration Stupidity The Future
Londonistan, England? You won't be able to tell in a few more decades.
Let us continue with Peak Stupidity's discussion of the demographic suicide of the Western world cultures from a week back, which discussed the decreasing fertility, hence decreasing population of these lands (not a bad thing in and of itself). We also gave just one example of the types of inhabitants of our lands who this society is raising who are ill-equipped and not capable of changing the situation.
Again, if it weren't for a whole lot of the rest of the world, specifically Africa and the Moslem lands, along with India, it would be not only NOT a problem that population may peak out, but a good thing. It could have lead to that bright future written about in the science fiction books of the 1960's and 70's, mentioned a while back. It was a future in which people were few and far between, but as opposed to the same situation back in the stone age, we had the knowledge, technology, and smarts that we DO have today in the Western World (and the Orient). Yeah, you didn't have to work long hours, and when you did work, it was something very intellectually challenging. The robot took care of the drudge work, but we weren't completely bored because our careers involved discovering and exploring. We'd take our hover-cars over to the distant neighbors for dinner and discussion of our interesting and fulfilling days. It' really kind of the life a lot of science/engineering/computer people aspire to right now, except for the "not crowded" part, and most do not see what's coming.
What that earlier post about that imagined future concluded was that this could have all happened if (American, for example) society had stayed arranged (politically) such that the intelligent industrious people were the ones to thrive and procreate. The welfare state along with immigration stupidity, coincidentally (?) started at the same time in history, turned this arrangement on its head! We won't have that imagined future anytime soon.
The welfare state assured that we have plenty of human problems to take care of in our own lands. With the automation of the drudge work, you'd think that it'd be OK - we can take care of everybody. The problem is that the unintelligent do not take well to being mostly idle, while the intelligent always find uses for their time that aren't hurtful to society (well, except for the Globalist elites, I suppose). In addition to that, because the Western world has been altruistic in spreading all of the results of science and engineering around the world, the medicines and the modern agricultural have resulted in 3rd world populations being enabled to grow rapidly. Even without the suicidal ideas of letting in all the world to our lands and feeling guilty for not doing MORE, the huge impending ratio of undeveloped and unintelligent population to that of our lands will create a huge pressure to take care of them.
It'd perhaps have been better to have a graph of these population increases (past and projected) broken up by culture, not continent, but this still gives the idea. We will be overwhelmed.
Keep in mind also, that the current and future population numbers shown of Euro and N. American (which more pessimistically includes Mexico) lands include residents from other cultures already! Yeah, I'll post another more appropriate graph for this issue when I can.
As a related digression here: To confuse this issue, one will read a lot about the Japanese and how their society is dying - lots of old people, decreasing population, blah, blah. I'm not really a Japophile, though I am very turned on by the language as spoken by pretty stewardesses on overseas flights, for some reason! However, I see absolutely NOTHING wrong with the way Japan is headed. They have a fairly small land area to begin with, slightly less than that of California, with still 1/2 the population of the US (with ours growing due to immigration, and theirs slowly decreasing). Japan has 4-5 TIMES the population of even present-day overcrowded California! They need more space - that can only be a good thing.
The Japanese don't let other people in to stay. I mean, the immigration control is VERY tight (they let in something like 5 refugees, not 5,000, but 5, during the latest round of this business), and even 2nd-generation Koreans, who look about the same, are still not considered Japanese there. As to the 2nd problem, the welfare state, I do wonder whether Japan's type of socialism is going to work out in the long run due to it's inherent moral hazards described here on Peak Stupidity. You do hear about a lot of antisocial weirdos over there, but I don't have first-hand knowledge.
Anyway, don't let people tell you Japan's way is a bad thing. They may be the only place on Earth right now moving toward the brighter science fiction future discussed here. We could learn some lessons about inviting the whole world in from them. One is that the immigrants that we have invited are many times, the ones from the Moslem lands and Africa anyway, the types that will have lots of kids (the conservative* lifestyle of the Moslems and the care-free, OK, irresponsible life-style of the Africans). We may be overwhelmed from within before as we are also overwhelmed from without
Next week: We need, I think a short summary as Part 4.
* Not American good-conservative like your Barry Goldwaters and general American population of days of yore, but they are conservative of their own culture - that's not something one could say about lots of Americans right now!

Is Frau Angela Merkel Obituary Shopping?
Posted On: Friday - November 10th 2017 2:04PM MST
In Topics: Commies Pundits Globalists
Heh! Mr. Nicholas Stix over at VDare wrote a great article, "Is the Final Solution To The German Question At Hand?", about his 5 years spent living in Germany in the early 1980's. It is a very readable article with his personal anecdotes, and he relates his German girlfriends' anecdotes involving their families during all the large-scale disruption during the WWII and Cold War era. The subject of the Commie/Globalist Angela Merkel, profiled here and here and here on Peak Stupidity, come up from this relating of personal histories in Germany. (There was a long very detailed history article on Takimag a couple of months back giving the life history of the evil Angela Merkel.
Regarding Merkel, Stix says:
I don’t buy the notion that Frau Merkel was too stupid to know what she was doing. She had to know that not only were the Syrians completely incompatible with German society, but that they would turn Germany into a Moslem state in a generation’s time.Obituary-shopping!, ha! That is a good one, and you may see it again (on here most likely, swiped like everything else on the internet). That's a great term; someone in that position of fame or notoriety may care more about that obituary than what happens to the poor German people. It doesn't help that she is a commie atheist - there's nothing else to aspire to but to be noted after her death to have been a good Commie and destroyer of Western culture.
The “refugee crisis” had to be a broad, coordinated, criminal conspiracy to commit democide, with Angela Merkel at the center.
At the time, I figured that Merkel was obituary-shopping, willing to sacrifice her country for positive write-ups from Leftist media operatives.
However, I later learned that Merkel’s father was a Protestant minister who in 1954 had taken his family and fled freedom in the West to return to Communist East Germany.
I then learned that Merkel had lied about her role in the youth group. Other former East Germans contradicted her, maintaining that she was involved in promoting Marxism-Leninism and “brainwashing,” and that her position was as secretary for agitation and propaganda. [How Close Was Merkel to the Communist System?, Spiegel, May 14, 2013.][link lost, but bold added.]
I'm sure Peak Stupidity can come up with an appropriate o-bitch-you-are-ehh for this Globalist Commie scum. We are very busy with other chores, but would still be glad to write in, what, early next week maybe?

Western World committing demographic sooeee-cide - Part 2, Snowflake girls
Posted On: Friday - November 10th 2017 11:16AM MST
In Topics: Immigration Stupidity Student and other Snowflakes The Future Female Stupidity
This part 2, continued from here is kind of an intermission between the story of the problems with Western low-fertility societies and the 3rd-World (at least big parts of it) high-fertility societies and the demographic transition possibly unavoidable and already in progress. I would say the Orient lies somewhere in between all this (maybe another post, but too many on the back burner already!)
Here, I want to talk about certain types of people that just exemplify the reasons the West is has such a low fertility rate. 5 possible non-sequential and non-conflicting reasons were presented, and the feminism one alone could rate a lot more discussion. The topic is the "Snowflakes", not all women, but for this post that's what I've seen recently and will write about. The two women I have met recently under work circumstances are not students, per the "Student Snowflake" topic key, but, hey, it'll suffice.
The reason for the use of the term snowflake is that we, well you readers, probably have all seen them, and they are beautiful but very fragile, and that's how these women are in personality. Wait, the fragile part, at least. Because I did not meet these 2 together, as it was some months apart, yet I encountered the same phenomenon, I will just relate this as if it were one woman.
I met this lady in the work environment, and luckily this was not a long-term arrangement. We had to talk to each other, and yes, I was the boss. However, it was very hard to even talk to her about normal work stuff without seeing a scared look like I was getting out of her little world in her head too far. I saw this time and again, as some remark I made when I wasn't smiling really brightly and talking really slowly brought on a scared look. If everything was going really smoothly, she could do her job, but she didn't want to hear anything bad - no, no bad thoughts. It really looked like she might cry and quit a few times just due to .. what?
How does one get that way? Sure, there are spoiled kids, but this is not exactly due to just being spoiled and demanding. I think this woman had been kept, and kept herself after leaving home, away from anything that might cause her to have to think about the real world. Some of these types are in college, hence the student snowflake moniker, and most parts of the college environment just make this behavior worse. This woman had not, and was in a blue-collar snowflake phase. I wish I could describe it better, and I don't want to put any specific pictures in, so this post may be just kind of vague.
The point here is (being Part 2 of this particular series) is that women like this could never handle being in any long-term relationship with kids. She would be lucky to keep a cat long-term without too much stress. How about raising a kid or two? It's not likely, in my opinion. Now, there are men like this too, as you've read about or seen on funny youtube clips (well, funny to me). However, they really aren't going to get very far with the ladies anyway. There are plenty of other guys who will, but not with these snowflake ladies, and I think there are more than just these two, and it's the women that are the bottleneck, so to speak (haha), in the whole fertility business.
This is an example of why the white American, and Western in general, fertility rate is low. Yeah, there are lots of other reasons, but this stuff doesn't happen in the 3rd world. There's just no call for snowflakes there - they will melt before they hit the ground.

Watching Andy

In Topics: Media Stupidity Americans Race/Genetics
Because the previous post had references to the great old "Andy Griffith Show" from the days when TV did not suck 24/7 (
Oooh, that just reminded me that I went to look up a particular local story on the local TV news' website, and it had become about as sick as yahoo (Peak Stupidity take here)! No kidding, there were just heavily biased headlines with easily-understood agendas alongside pictures. That has changed just within the last 5 years ... last time I can be sure I even looked at it. Now the TV news back when I watched Andy was a little less slanted; I am sure of that. Additionally, I was probably not quite as hip to the Lyin' Press, as Peak Stupidity is proud to be nowadays.
Anyhow, I'd have my root beer or maybe a ginger ale, and watch Andy after the local news people said goodnight. It was a good ritual, and I kind of miss that. Hey, I know the country was not as wonderful as that seen on a 1960's Hollywood-produced TV show, yet, Hollywood made shows back then that did not degrade the white American people. That was something that's hard to fathom now. Also, the country WAS a lot better of a place back then, in ways one can see in the show. Yes, people in small towns left the doors un-locked. Yes, you would talk to your neighbors. Yes, the Sheriff DID NOT wear body armor and have 5 kinds of weapons and 3 communications devices strapped to various parts of his body. Yes, it was a better place, and even when I used to watch the repeats, it rang more true-to-life than it would now.
Andy Griffith does NOT come on at that hour anymore, but how would I know?
We get pretty offensive and truthful and stuff here, even with stuff as sensitive as race. With all that, though, it is still important to think of individuals as, well, individuals and not part of some group that has just been defined on-line recently. A few days back, a black lady co-worker, 40-something years old or so had her phone playing loud enough for me to catch the sound. I found it hard to believe I heard:
Listen while you finish reading. Yeah, I was really surprised that a black lady liked the show. Should I feel bad that I'm really surprised that a black lady likes the Andy Griffith show? No, it IS really surprising that a black lady likes the Andy Griffith show, but sure enough, she was watching another episode the next day. I would say that that made my day.

You can't even discuss the weather anymore.

Floyd and Andy - "Yeeeepp, might be a cold front gonna blow through, Andy..."
What is usually the one topic you used to be able to discuss with a complete stranger, just to make conversation? That would be the weather, of course. No, it's still NOT under our control, and we can't predict it more than 4 days out very well, at best. Everyone likes a nice day, or at least a change once in a while.
This is not Mt. Airy, North Carolina, but it is pretty friendly where I live, so a remark about the weather will break the ice, along with a lot of other remarks. The weather remark though, would not, or COULD NOT have been taken badly, and start an argument, back in the past. Now with the Global Climate DisruptionTM nonsense having been blasted at everyone for the last 15 years like a fast-moving blast of sub-arctic(?) air out of a low trough colliding with a 200 millibar pressure peak from hell (OK, that was just some bullshit there), you never know anymore.
Andy: "It sure looks like we got a cold front a-comin' thru; don't you feel it in your bones, Floyd?"
Floyd: "Yeah, this weather is so variable now, due to that there global warming thingy that guy from Raleigh told me about."
Andy (louder): "I said COLD, Floyd, is your hearing aid OK? I can run by the drug store and pick you up some batteries, while I get Ope an ice-cream soda and try to pick up the new girl in town."
Floyd: "I hear just fine, Andy. The whole climate is just crazy, now Andy, due to people like YOU and that deputy of yours driving around in that gas guzzling sheriff's car! Y'all are killing the planet!"
Andy: "Well, I'm just sorry I asked. Now, how 'bout you just cut my hair, Floyd and shut the fuck up!"
Disclaimer: This was not from the original Andy Griffith show series. This is from the new prequel, with a younger, hotter Aunt Bea.

Lyin' Press, TV-branch getting desperate

This stuff comes in the mail twice a month, yet, I'm already a customer of
$19.95 is the price to add on TV service to some bundle, or my existing fairly high-priced, by this point, internet connection. I'm not going to open this crap to find out the details.
However, with the NFL brouhaha, of which I really couldn't give a damn about, and President Trump's calling out of the Lyin' Press, I think this junk-mail advertising is not just about the money. Big Gov. and big Business need Americans to stay on the TV. All the narratives they have been weaving will not take, if a majority of the American population cannot be force-fed the lies. Yes, there are some new angles they've got, the USA Today doormat of the hotel room project, the force-feeding in the dentist/doctors and used-car dealer lobbies and the cucked-out radio announcers pining after their favorite stars of the grid-iron to get us in front of the tube Monday night. They've got about a dozen news channels chock-filled with infotainment, a "conservative" one, a dozen or so cntrl-left propo-tainments channels, yet lots of people have had enough.
It's very important to the elite that run things that people NOT give up the cable, especially. This is one small thing that you, the reader, can do to hurt them. It's not just the money. Peak Stupidity thinks that the press will be propped up by government, as is the case in any totalitarian society, no matter how much money they end up losing. At the
1) The reason we use the term Gov't Media lots is due to the current relationship between media and government - by far most importantly the US Feral Gov't. This government has gotten so huge that the LP can completely make enough of their news on this government alone to fill the 24 hours in a day. It is in the best interest of the LP that the US gov't stay huge and keep making laws and arbitrary regulations that have big effects on people's lives. Why? This is because a viewer or reader nowadays has a need to pay attention, because every day of the week could bring another change to his life or livelihood due to some gov't bullshit program or another.Yeah, Lyin' Press, I won't take your subscription for ONE stinkin' dollar. Your junk-mail, however is a welcome addition to the paper trash bin for it's use in fire-starting, what with this cold front and all.
2) At this late stage of the US Gov't Beast, the LP has good reason to believe that they will all be bailed out by the remaining US taxpayers theft victims, were they to start losing so much money as to be unable to even operate. The government has a big interest in letting these Lying Presstitutes keep putting out their lying words. They are, in the words of future congressional bailout committees, "too duplicitous to fail".
