madAsHell said...: Today, I encountered the word "MURKED".

It means to be defeated badly, killed.

The indicated etymology claims that it is the English word, mark (an individual that is the target). The English word is adopted by the Mexican gangs, and passed north again as a verb.

mandrewa said...: Left-wing activist Steven Nelson Lopez fired into the crow at the BLM camp in Louisville, killing a fellow white protester and
injuring at least one other person.

It seems pointless and stupid and it is. But that's the sort of thing that happens when someone lets hate dominate them.

I think I can predict the left-wing airbrushing: (1) Lopez will be retroactively labeled "right-wing"; and (2) somewhat lower key, there will be the complaint that Lopez didn't shoot the right people.; 6/29/20, 11:24 AM

How is your Jew Privilege going today? Or Asian Privilege? Or is it White Privilege?

Sebastian said...: Did you hear about the white nationalists setting up a guillotine outside Bezos's house, cleverly disguising their terrorist action with Marxist rhetoric?; 6/29/20, 11:56 AM
Achilles said...: Activists set up a guillotine in front of Jeff Bezos's DC home.

Everyone involved with this should be doing multiple decades in jail.

A free society cannot tolerate bullshit like this.

If these people are not put in jail for an extended period of time then we are just that much closer to the time when we are forced to vigilantism.; 6/29/20, 12:00 PM
Original Mike said...: So Tik-Tok is a data gathering wolf in sheep's clothing. Not surprised. Link

"TikTok is a very irresponsible company, dangerous by design. And not simply by carelessness, mistake or default: this is a deep and patent irresponsibility, a philosophy focused on the constant capture of all kinds of user data… the type of app you would expect from a Chinese company operating in China that makes a few cosmetic changes to adapt it to the West — if that — applying the same criteria and philosophy it does in China."; 6/29/20, 12:04 PM

Drago said...: As Ace of Spades points out, it appears the "white supremacist" shooter (just you know, random shooting into a crowd because whatever) at the antifa camp who shot the photographer is actually, now get this, unexpectedly, a black/brown hispanic BLM member and protest speaker type "white supremacist".

As Inga and Howard will shortly explain, Steve Bannon is personally responsible for this shooting and it is a prime example of boogaloo-ing russian collusion probably coordinated by General Flynn.

Looks like another; 6/29/20, 1:31 PM

So I take it you are good with cross burnings.; 6/29/20, 2:22 PM
Howard said...: Make up your mother fucking mind, sweetheart. You're so deep into Trump's colon you end up expressing hatred for a group and then hatred for the other group that opposes the group that you supposedly hate. Hate hate hate hate hate you really just hate yourself isn't that it?

Then 27-minutes later Blogger Achilles defended the #1 Globalist Billion Nazi against anti-globalist Activists set up a guillotine in front of Jeff Bezos's DC home.

Howard said...: That's the first I heard of that story Drago. My opinion Trump's first mistake was getting rid of Bannon. As you know I was the one that posted to the link to Steve Bannon's appearance at Oxford a year or so ago. go ahead and check the record I believe I was fairly complimentary towards Steve's political philosophy.

It does warm my heart to know that you're always thinking of me when I'm not around; 6/29/20, 3:05 PM

Well. You and your friends can't. We've seen that.
So tell me Steve. Seeing as how you're a reliably left kinda progg. How are you going to guatrantee the chain of custody with vote by mail ballots?; 6/29/20, 3:15 PM
J. Farmer said...: These comments are a microcosm of the battered women's shelter that is contemporary conservative politics. The entire conservative movement is unraveling. How many national conservative leaders are there outside of Trump? It's no wonder so many conservatives are clinging to him like a life preserver. And he is adrift. The GOP is a worse than useless party. They're clinging to a Reagan-era template that's thirty years past its sell-by date.; 6/29/20, 3:23 PM
narciso said...: Bannon was impatient about the tariffs, he let michael woolf wind him up,

Tom cotton is good, josh hawley is getting up there,; 6/29/20, 4:13 PM
Narr said...: Whatever else you can say about PDJT he revealed the GOP for the shortsighted greedy unprincipled hacks they have been at least since Clinton's day; it's not over yet but
he might do the same for the Dims.

The Conservative movement suffers from a lack of leadership because conservatives are afraid to stand up for principles. Trump stands up, but I do not consider him a Conservative. He is a Populist, for better or worse.

I am beginning to understand why you think we are fucked. It won't affect me much, but I truly worry about my 21 year old stepson.; 6/29/20, 4:47 PM
madAsHell said...: I've read additional reports from CHOP/CHAZ, and the etymology mentioned earlier is wrong. The newspaper article spelled it MURKED. What the speaker intended to say was MERC'd. As we in "We are bad ass mercenaries!!".

It seems that a couple of Black Lives Matter teenagers thought it would be a good idea to mount-up in Mom's white Cherokee SUV, and drive-by the CHOP/CHAZ with their 9mm's blazing. Fire was quickly returned from multiple rifles.

One guy was DOA, and the other has been in critical condition for over 24 hours.

I'm beginning to think that Mayor Durkan is trying to incite a Kent State moment, but all she gets is black-on-black violence.; 6/29/20, 5:54 PM

J. Farmer, thank you for stating what many conservatives refuse to admit. Truer words were never spoken.; 6/29/20, 7:14 PM

buwaya said...: I see the guillotine and the tumbrils and Madame Defarge's knitting and the storming of the Bastille as something Trumps deplorables are working themselves up to do. They aren't, yet, acting out their wishes like many of the other side are doing. But that is the point of Dicken's character Defarge. She fills the storehouse of the grapes of wrath.

When the crisis is upon you, don't expect a revolution and a repression, but another, different, revolution.; 6/29/20, 10:53 PM

I agree with you 100%! But it's not only the "conservative movement" but also the "Liberal/Progressive movement", which is also losing control to the "radicals" in their ranks. What we are seeing and experiencing the demise of 'Major Parties' due to lack of genuine leadership, because they only are mining their voters for 'power'. The last good leaders I saw were Reagan (President - Republican) and O'Neill (Speaker of the House - Democrat). I knew that when Harry Reid took the reigns things would collapse for the Democrats. First sign is when Reid got rid of the nuclear option in the Senate, just for a momentary small victory, for himself the the idiots who backed such a power play. Now both Democrats and Republicans are targets by their respective voters. I expect only Trump will benefit - look how many Democrats are projected to vote for him this time around vs. 2016 [including blacks]. The Republicans have a problem like you state, without Trump's endorsement, 82-1 wining record, they don't have a message. Sign of crappy local leadership. I'm sure somewhere in history America had a similar experience, but not in my memory and I've been around since the mid - '50s.; 6/30/20, 1:21 PM
