Bitter and Mean

I am not unfriendly; I just enjoy solitude and anonymity. I am both smarter and dumber than you think. I enjoy seeing & experiencing the world unobserved.

For those that still don’t understand what Benghazi was all about:

🚨So here's the REAL story:

Ambassador Stevens was sent to Benghazi to secretly retrieve US made Stinger Missiles that the State Dept had supplied to Ansar al Sharia in Libya WITHOUT Congressional oversight or permission.

Sec State Hillary Clinton had brokered the Libya deal through Ambassador Stevens and a Private Arms Dealer named Marc Turi, but some of the shoulder fired Stinger Missiles ended up in Afghanistan where they were used against our own military. On July 25th, 2012, a US Chinook helicopter was downed by one of them. Not destroyed only because the idiot Taliban didn't arm the missile. The helicopter didn't explode, but it had to land and an ordnance team recovered the missile’s serial number which led back to a cache of Stinger Missiles kept in
Qatar by the CIA.

Obama and Hillary were in full panic mode, so Ambassador Stevens was sent to Benghazi to retrieve the rest of the Stinger Missiles. This was a "do-or-die" mission, which explains the Stand Down Orders given to multiple rescue teams during the siege of the US Embassy.

It was the State Dept, NOT the CIA, that supplied the Stinger Missiles to our sworn enemies because Gen. Petraeus at CIA would not approve supplying the deadly missiles due to their potential use against commercial aircraft. So then, Obama threw Gen. Petraeus under the bus when he refused to testify in support of Obama’s phony claim of a “spontaneous uprising caused by a YouTube video that insulted Muslims.”
Obama and Hillary committed TREASON!

THIS is what the investigation is all about, WHY she had a Private Server, (in order to delete the digital evidence), and WHY Obama, two weeks after the attack, told the UN that the attack was the result of the YouTube video, even though everyone KNEW it was not.

Furthermore, the Taliban knew that the administration had aided and abetted the enemy WITHOUT Congressional oversight or permission, so they began pressuring (blackmailing) the Obama Administration to release five Taliban generals being held at Guantanamo.

Bowe Bergdahl was just a useful pawn used to cover the release of the Taliban generals. Everyone knew Bergdahl was a traitor but Obama used Bergdahl’s exchange for the five Taliban generals to cover that Obama was being coerced by the Taliban about the unauthorized Stinger Missile deal.

So we have a traitor as POTUS that is not only corrupt, but compromised, as well and a Sec of State that is a serial liar, who perjured herself multiple times at the Congressional Hearings on Benghazi. Perhaps this is why no military aircraft were called upon for help in Benghazi: because the administration knew that our enemies had Stinger Missiles that, if used to down those planes, would likely be traced back to the CIA cache in Qatar and then to the State Dept’s illegitimate arms deal in Libya.

Forward this again and again and again until everyone reads the true story of Benghazi.

But don't you understand?

There was a way. There was always a way.

We had it within our grasp, because we had already grasped it. The childhoods that you and your daughter had were available because you and your daughter had them.

All that the Boomers, and their parents, the eldest of the post WW2 generations, had to do was...

Nothing.

Just live in the paradise that their ancestors won for them, and make the minimum, the bare minimum, of effort that would have been required to actually sustain it.

That's all.

Just keep things the way they were.

But they couldn't handle that. Their fathers and grandfathers, the heroes that won WW2, made them jealous.

They wanted to be heroes, too.

So, for the sake of their own egos, they had to become Social Justice Warriors. They had to be Champions of Progress and Change.

They had to see the world they inherited as a pile of problems to be solved, rather than a pile of solutions to be cherished and preserved.

So they could feel like they were doing something important.

Almost all of the elder generations, even the ones who call themselves conservative and vote republican, are, in truth, socialist liberal progressives. Because they looked at paradise, and wanted to fix it instead of protect it.

That's why the "republican" option was Reagan, the gun-ban guy, the social-welfare guy, the kiss-up-to-the-commies guy, the amnesty-for-foreign-invaders guy.

Reagan, the Hollywood liberal, the Obama of the 80s, instead of Joe McCarthy, Barry Goldwater, and Pat Buchanan.

Teens can't have a summer job because elders had to be Third-World Compassion Heroes, and give us Hart-Cellar and eleventy-billion barbarians who don't care about civilization, but will work cheap.

Teens can't have a car because elders had to be Climate Emergency Heroes and give us emissions control laws and Cash for Clunkers.

Teens can't have safe schools to learn at, because elders had to Anti-Racist Heroes and made it illegal to exclude violent thugs from our school districts. Just because those thugs generally come color-coded for your convenience.

Teens can't have safe public spaces to hang out in, because elders had to be Compassion for the Underclass Heroes, and release violent savages into society, again and again, with a lecture and a slap on the wrist.

Teens can't have a healthy economy to inherit, because elders had to be Equality Heroes and make sure every corporation that actually did anything useful was punished for not being Diverse, Equitable, and Inclusive enough to suit the ideal universe that exists only in their heads.

Teens can't have dates, because elders had to be Anti-Sexist Heroes, and let feminists spend forty years diminishing the social value of men, until you had to a be a billionaire rockstar adventurer to avoid being an unsexy loser by default.

Teens can't even be fit, healthy, and pretty, because elders had to be Sex Equality Heroes, and move women into the corporate workforce in droves, leaving children to be fed by corporate industrial slop factories.

Teens can't have sane, well-adjusted, unspoiled girlfriends and wives, because elders had to be Champions of Sexual Freedom, and normalize unlimited female promiscuity, all in exchange for the largely unfulfilled promise of a little unshaven free-love yeti snatch.

And worst, of all, the crowning irony, the final dead hamster in the water pipe, is that all of this would be fixable, perhaps in three to five election cycles...

Except.

Except the elders don't understand that any of this of this is happening.

They haven't had a child in the household since 1997. They haven't looked for an entry-level job since 1973. They haven't gone on a date since 1981. They haven't been laid off... ever.

They are safe with their paid-off houses and their investments and their pensions from 45 years at the same company and their social security and their medical plans.

It's affecting the youngest generations first and worst. While the elders sit on their cruise ship, surveying the short with binoculars, wondering who all these ragged distressed looking people standing on the shore are.

And why they are holding signs that say "HELP", "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT", and "YOU STOLE THE LIFE I WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE".

Then they shrug, conclude that these must be the whiny losers, and everyone further inland is probably just fine, and everything is fine, because they fixed everything and they are all heroes, and the Summer of Love was the end of the Problematic Era of History and the beginning of the Great Enlightenment.

And when I am 74 years old, and the elders are all safely tucked into their cemetery plots, I will be torn apart by an angry mob for having white hair, and therefore being "one of them".

And the mob will not care that I didn't get to cast a vote until 1992, for the Man Who Predicted All Of This.

He called it the "giant sucking sound".

Which is apt because it's why everything sucks now.

[Sensurround @ShamashAran]

I hear statements like this all the time:

"Why when Jesus talks about feeding the poor, it’s christianity. But when a politician talks about feeding the poor, it’s socialism?"

This is one of those ideas that sounds profound until you examine it for longer than the lifespan of a fruit fly.

Take the Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25–37). A traveler gets robbed and left for dead. A Samaritan comes along and:

Bandages the mans wounds.
Puts him on his own animal.
Takes him to an inn.
Pays his own money for the man's care.

Then Jesus says, "Go and do likewise."

At no point does the Samaritan stop and say, "Hold on while I petition the Roman provincial government to establish the Department of Fallen Travelers."

Notice the subject of that sentence. It isnt Caesar. It isn't the Sanhedrin. It isn't the Ministry of Compassionate Transportation. It's YOU.

This theme shows up repeatedly. Jesus tells individuals to be generous, to care for the poor, to lend expecting nothing in return, to give secretly, to serve one another, to sell possessions and give to those in need. (Luke 12:33, Luke 3:10–14, Luke 6:35–36, Matthew 5:16, Matthew 6:1–4, John 13:12–17.)

If you actually study the Bible, and not use it as a pithy collection of sayings, you learn that Jesus made it very clear that public service to those in need is part of your worship of God and him. It's necessary in order to be a christian. Outsourcing it to government is not good enough.

Christian charity is fundamentally a moral obligation placed on the believer. I can't outsource the giving and service required of me to the Government any more than I could outsource prayer or belief.

If a politician wants to talk about feeding the poor, he's a good Christian if he's doing it himself, with his own money. That's it. (He should also be doing it quietly as Matthew 6:1 says, but that's a different rant.)

If your definition of socialism is simply "helping poor people" then congratulations: your childish understanding of politics almost eclipses your childish understanding of Christianity.

[Mike P @mikepat711]

You become more fiscally conservative as you get older because you’ve had more time to watch your federal government fail to solve any problems despite taking in trillions of dollars in revenues per year.

You’ve watched the private markets deliver life-changing technologies that bring the entire tide up, all while these hypocrites and fools bark the same nonsense year after year, and somehow cannot manage to deliver anything but massive deficits, finger pointing, and divisive rhetoric.

In this post, Warren transfers nonsense from her brain to her thumbs, and through the magic touch-screen slab to tell you that she’d be able to do something with a few billion more dollars that her and her colleagues haven’t been able to do with a multi-thousand-billion dollar annual budget for years and years.

What is the meaning of her post here? There is no meaning. It is meaningless. The intention? To stir emotions in anyone who isn’t aware of the obvious things I’ve written here. To manipulate and gain the support of sheep.

If you actually think revenue is the bottleneck for government output, you lack basic financial literacy and are being conned by con artists.

[The Rational Animal 🤔 @theobjectivist]

Bernie thinks this is "fair" because he starts from the premise that your wealth belongs to the collective and you are permitted to keep what it decides you don't need. "You'd still have $2.5 billion" is not an argument for fairness. It is a looter calculating how much he can take before the victim fights back.

Fairness is not determined by how much the victim has left. It is determined by whether the taking was justified. A man who robs you of $100 and leaves you $1,000 has not been "fair." He is still a thief.

Rights are not proportional to net worth. They are absolute.

Oxford University researchers have discovered the densest element yet known to science...

The new element, Governmentium (symbol=Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.

These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called pillocks.

Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert.

However, it can be detected because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact.

A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second, to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete.

Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2 to 6 years.

It does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganisation in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places.

In fact, Governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganisation will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes.

This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration.

This hypothetical quantity is referred to as a critical morass.

When catalysed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium (symbol=Ad), an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium, since it has half as many pillocks but twice as many morons.

[War Doll @thewardoll]

There's a verse I think about sometimes.
Many times.

"behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee."

I am not sure we can fully fathom the audacity of this statement, being that it was said in the midst of a people who for thousands of years had such a reverence for God that they wouldn't even utter his true name.

Yet this man from Galilee elevated himself to the position of God by saying such an incredible thing.

Understandably, those who devoted their lives to the study of God through the scriptures took offense immediately.

"And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.

And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?"

What makes this story so incredible is that it's the apex of Christ's ministry; the revealing to men of the purpose for which he came.

The story continues as the Apostle Matthew recalls the conversation,

"For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?"

But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.

And he arose, and departed to his house."

That verse has been burned into my mind since I read it so many years ago, and it still to this day lights a fire in my heart when I read those words.

What's easier, He asks.

To say you are forgiven by God, or to perform an incredible miracle and heal this man before this entire crowd.

But so that you know Jesus has the authority to even forgive the sins man, He performs this incredible miracle to prove it.

My brothers in Christ, that is why I worship the Son of Man.

No other gods have displayed such power over sickness and disease, and no other gods have even dared to claim to be able to forgive the sins of man.

The amazing work of the cross, foreshadowed in this moment by the power and authority of the Son of God on display for all to see.

Be blessed today my brothers, we worship the King of Kings and the name above all other names.

Amen.

Oh FUCK OFF...

You self-righteous Marxist bartender-turned-congressional pony: this globetrotting farce of yours in Berlin, cozying up to Germany's Social Democrats and the pathetic remnants of Die Linke like some wannabe Che Guevara in designer heels, is nothing but a desperate, transparent bid to resurrect the rotting corpse of international socialism.

You prance around Munich spewing your infantile drivel about "income inequality" birthing authoritarianism, as if democracies owe the working class a perpetual cock to suck on or else they'll magically morph into Orbán or Trump.

Bullshit.

Pure, unadulterated psychological projection from a narcissistic hack who can't fathom that people reject your authoritarian nanny-state wet dreams not out of "inequality," but because they've seen your ideology's blood-soaked track record.

You're out there plotting "coordinated international progressive efforts"...code for a global cabal of useful idiots syncing tactics to smother dissent and enforce your utopian Gleichschaltung on the working class you pretend to champion.

Die Linke?

Those are the direct ideological heirs to the SED, the East German communist party that built the Berlin Wall to keep their own people from fleeing the paradise of state-controlled misery.

Social Democrats?

The same spineless enablers who’ve spent decades opening Europe's veins to unchecked migration, cultural erosion, and economic stagnation while lecturing everyone else on "far-right" threats.

Historically literate people know exactly what this is: the same tired Comintern playbook from the 1920s and 30s, when Moscow puppeteered European leftists to undermine sovereign nations under the guise of "workers' solidarity."

It birthed monsters...Stalin's purges, Mao's famines, Pol Pot's killing fields...all justified by the same whiny rhetoric about inequality breeding extremism.

You ignore the profound psychological truth: authoritarianism doesn't rise from inequality; it rises from weak, decadent elites like you peddling resentment as a substitute for personal responsibility, eroding national identity until people turn to strongmen to restore order.

Trump and Orbán aren't symptoms of inequality, you delusional imbecile...they're antibodies to the parasitic globalism you and your Euro-socialist playmates shove down everyone's throats.

Trump's America saw record-low minority unemployment, wage growth for the bottom earners, and energy independence that kept costs down for the actual working class.

Orbán? He's defended Hungary's borders and Christian culture against the Brussels machine that's turned half of Europe into a third-world bazaar of crime and welfare leaching.

Your "transatlantic outreach" is just performative cowardice...a circle-jerk of failing leftists terrified that the people have woken up to your scam.

You're not fighting fascism; you're manufacturing it by labeling any resistance to your totalitarian vision as "far-right."

Classic Freudian projection from a psychologically stunted ideologue who mistakes her daddy issues and victim complex for profound insight.

The reactions?

Thousands of conservatives rightly eviscerating your embarrassing ass because you're a national joke...a low-IQ poseur who thinks reading Das Kapital in a luxury apartment qualifies as expertise.

Progressives lap it up because they're addicted to the dopamine hit of moral superiority without ever achieving a goddamn thing.

Fuck off back to your overpriced district, AOC.

Your coordinated "progressive" revolution is dead on arrival...just like every other socialist pipe dream that's left mountains of corpses and rivers of tears in its wake.

History doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes, and yours is the same tired verse of failure.

Sit the fuck down, and shut the fuck up.

You’re out of your depth, as per usual.

@Docquistador @realgreggd @Docquistador I am also retarded, but, best guess is that if the number starts with a 4 then it was registered after 2022. I say that because DOT numbers hit 4,000,000 registrations in 2022...indicates a newer company. You can draw your conclusions from there.

@gpork @romanhelmetguy Stealing money for people thru taxation has never discouraged speculation. Housing and rent prices are affordable? The higher the taxes the higher the cost of rent and houses...as an example; stealing more money from the landlord will force rent hikes.
