Tim Pool: Democrats Reverse Trump Policy Banning Racial Segregation In Schools, Biden Admin ALLOWS Segregation

Recently I had pondered the question of which side our military would be on in the event of Civil War. Unhappily, the answer has become increasingly apparent. In other words, we are totally screwed.

isn't it weird, how someone will do something wrong and we'll let him go without consequences;
And THEN, for some reason, somehow, they get the idea that they can do it again?
WHY didn't they learn the 1st time, when we let them go?

A man accused of fatally shooting four people – including a 7-year-old girl – before abducting his baby daughter over the weekend in Indianapolis allegedly flew off the handle following an argument over the coronavirus relief check, according to a local report.
Malik Halfacre, 25, allegedly killed the three adults and one child and wounded the mother of his 6-month-old daughter.


Halfacre was previously jailed until 2018 for a shooting the year prior, according to the report. He was being held Monday on preliminary murder, attempted murder and other charges, according to Marion County Jail records.

King County finally finished all of the reviews for our building permit yesterday. They did the final three approvals yesterday after I emailed one of the reviewers about the status of her review. Then magically, the approvals popped up within an hour. Squeaky wheel gets the grease I guess. They are putting together the issuance packages. Our permit has moved into their Quality Assurance review, which takes about a month.

The permit should be ready just in time for the start of prime building season.

Mockturtle,

I have written it more than once in these threads- Republican riots like last Summer's would be met by the blue cities and states, and today's federal government with actual shooting of the protestors. That is the thing about left wing governments- they don't hesitate to shoot you if you put up a fight. If Republicans burn and loot a city, they should come prepared to be shot on sight.

Mock,

I wrote a comment a couple of days ago- we will learn a lot about the honor this country has left in its governmental institutions by watching what happens in the federal courts and the January 6th "insurrectionists" who are being arrested and many held without bail for charges that are almost all misdemeanors. If the federal judges do their jobs, pretty much all these men and women should get release with no bail, and no jail time even with a plea. I suspect, though, that isn't going to happen and you will see people sentenced to federal prison for "being in Capitol without authorization". The way the prosecutors are piling up the charges by the hundreds tells me they are going for prison sentences that last 5 years or more. This would be a major injustice and would be conclusive proof this government is no longer worthy of respect.

mandrewa म्हणाले...

About the three billion years ago the oceans were so deep that they covered all the continents and there were no islands. Wadsleyite and Ringwoodite are two minerals that absorb water. They are also common in a certain part of the upper mantle. The degree to which they absorb water depends on their temperature. The cooler they get the more water they absorb.

As the earth's mantle has cooled wadsleyite and ringwoodite have absorbed most of that original ocean.

As the percentage of water in wadsleyite and ringwoodite increases they become more plastic. It may be that the movement of the continents is possible because they are riding on this plastic layer of wadsleyite and ringwoodite.

The mantle is continuing to cool and the wadsleyite and ringwoodite are continuing to absorb water and when the earth gets cool enough, 2 to 3 billion years from now, the oceans will have disappeared.

I agree and have been having some email exchanges with my FBI daughter who is a hard lefty now. The guy arrested with the SWAT team in Naples FL was charged with using pepper spray, and she is fine with his arrest. No video. No evidence. He denies it. A FL judge started to release him but the Biden DOJ intervened. I expect lots of double jeopardy from the Biden DOJ, just like Clinton with the Rodney King cops.

LOL, good for you Guam NG!

“On Monday, more than 20 National Guard troops from Guam accompanied Rep. Michael San Nicolas, D-Guam, on an unannounced visit to the Washington, D.C., office of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga.

The impetus for the visit stemmed from last month, when Greene appeared to refer to Guam as a foreign country during an address at the Conservative Political Action Conference.

“We believe our hard-earned tax dollars should just go for America, not for what? China, Russia, the Middle East, Guam, whatever, wherever,” she said at the event.”

“We appreciate Congressman San Nicolas’ efforts to represent our culture of Inafa’ Maolek, or bringing harmony, practiced here in Guam,” she said in a statement. “We also thank Congresswoman Greene for ultimately helping raise awareness of Guamanians as citizens of the United States, and our rich tradition of service and sacrifice to our nation.””

The nonviolent resistance of the King-wing of the movement was met with burned houses and churches and beatings and attack dogs and "actual shooting of the protestors. That is the thing about left wing governments- they don't hesitate to shoot you if you [dissent]. If Republicans [passively refuse to go along -- or even fail to denounce others around them], they should come prepared to be shot on sight."

"Huh. There are several locations on Earth that have > 3.5 billion year old continental crust."

Yes. Exactly. And that's part of the evidence for this. Because there are rocks in that really old continental crust, like the Slave Craton in Canada, that formed as magma emerged underwater. The continents were there but they were under an ocean when the original cratons formed.

Meanwhile, the MLK nonviolent direct action was also met by attacks by moderates who, instead of demanding that the segregationist Jim Crowers change, they insisted that the protesters change and back down.

Martin Luther King, Jr. did not advocate "passive resistance." He advocated nonviolent resistance in the form of protests, boycotts, and other grassroots activism. The battle for civil rights was a battle against state laws that enforced segregation and disfranchisement. Starting with desegregation in the late 1950s, there was a campaign of "massive resistance" in the south that required the intervention of federal troops.

MLK's activism inspired violent resistance because it was challenging very fundamental ideas about people and society in the south. I am not sure what the equivalent issue would be for the deplorables or what would occur that would necessitate the use of US military forces as opposed to the local sheriff or state police.

Farmer, you are correct in that 'nonviolent' resistance was what I was looking for. And for the same reason: To overturn laws that are repressive and unconstitutional, like some laws the Dems are in the process of implementing. The forced inclusion of biological males in women sports is one of many examples. Schools required to use 'Critical Race Theory' in their curricula for another. Teachers refusing to go to work so children can return to school still another. Some of these are federal and some state issues but they all violate our constitutional rights. So, yeah, another Civil Rights movement will be necessary. Maybe we'll find another MLK.

"A total solar eclipse is awesome, in the truest sense of the word."

Without a doubt. I nearly passed up the 2017 eclipse, thinking 99.5% would be good enough. I had nagging doubts that morning and finally decided to ditch work for a couple of hours to drive to where the eclipse would be total.

Worth it.

The American revolution really didn't work either. We had to replace our revolutionary government with one that worked. But our results were much better.

I think the essential difference was the fact that our revolution and the Glorious Revolution were led by the nation's elite, instead of launched against it.

Godfather,

Your story, though, has made me alter my plans for the eclipse in 2024- I intend to try to find an elevated point from which to watch like you did. This probably means NY, VT, NH, or ME. Arkansas is the only other real alternative, but hills aren't that tall there. I will study the problem and pick a location.

Yep, all the good stuff requires totality.

It also helped that King and the others appealed directly to traditional, you might even say conservative American and religious values. Gandhian tactics had worked against clapped-out empires also, because those empires' populations largely recognized national liberation and decolonization as legitimate goals for subaltern peoples.

During the 2017 eclipse, I spent the week before watching the weather forecasts for the east TN. I was prepared to travel the day before to ensure a clear viewing, but my entire family showed up to see it since the path of totality included my youngest sister's house- it was convenient to hold the gathering there, so it would have meant moving a lot of people. We got lucky though- it was blazing hot that day, but the sky was almost completely clear but for a stray cloud or two. My brothers-in-law even set up sophisticated video captures of the event, but in the end, the best video of all was taken by my nephew and his i-Phone.

Our home is new construction on a 6.56-ac lot with a small stream running diagonally from NE to SW. The home is being built by Adair Homes, a Northwest custom home constructor. It's the Oswego plan, a 3Br/2Ba, 1952sq ft with a shop/garage. We're installing a generator/propane tank in case of power outages. We're clearing about 3 ac in two sites, in the NW and SE corners of the lot. The SE clearing will have an telescope observatory that will hold a 14" scope.

The bridge across the stream is 8-ft x 8-ft, 5 railroad ties with decayed 2x12s. All of that is going to be replaced with 6 4x6 beams 8-ft long and 2x12 decking. The logs from the SE site will be moved over the bridge to the NW site and the cedar logs turned into lumber. The maple and douglas firs will be sold to a sawmill. This bridge will be replaced with the permanent bridge, 12-ft long by 6-ft wide resting on concrete pillars.

Build time is estimated at 9 months, two months to clear the site and get the power/water in and seven to actually build the house. Then a couple more months to do finishing touches, like putting the fence up. So, we should be moving in around December of this year.

I called the Guam delegate this morning to complain about the NG intimidating MTG. He actually answered the phone, he must not have any budget for staff. His explanation was he and the NG were doing a meet and greet, showing the troops the Capitol. He said that he'd coordinated the visit with MTG's office a couple of days in advance and that the visit was not meant to intimidate MTG.

That's his explanation. He seemed like a nice guy over the phone. Believe it if you want, or not.

@mockturtle:

So, yeah, another Civil Rights movement will be necessary. Maybe we'll find another MLK.

I tend to agree with this point-of-view. I think an underappreciated part of the problem is demographic and cultural. The white working-class has gone from 70% of the US population in 1980 to about 40% today and is still declining.

Opponents of ethnic nationalism like to claim that the US is a creedal nation with a civically, rather than ethnically, defined nationalism. In this view, membership in the nation only requires accepting the principles of the Declaration and Constitution.

I think this is naïve for a variety of reasons. The documents did not emerge from a blackhole but were created within a cultural context with a particular worldview and set of values. Even in the late 18th century, there were significant disagreement over values as reflected in the views of the antifederalists versus the federalists, liberalism versus classical republicanism, and agrarians versus merchants. The US Constitution is the outcome of a set of compromises between these opposing forces.

That constitutional order was destroyed in the Civil War and replaced by a constitutional order grounded in thee Declaration via the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments. The national government was now tasked with defending the liberty of individual citizens against actions by the state. With the failure of Reconstruction, the South quickly rolled back the political freedoms granted ex-slaves and instituted segregation and voter suppression. This actually slightly inflated the power of southern states, since blacks were counted for apportionment even though they were systemically deterred from voting.

Roosevelt's New Deal coalition managed to include white, rural southerners and racial and ethnic minorities, but as Democratic support for civil rights grew in the 1950s and 1960s, it started falling apart. With the Voting Rights Act and the mass enfranchisement of blacks in the south and the creation of majority-minority voting districts have had a huge impact on American society. Conservative southern Democrats began moving to the Republican Party, and black southerners began voting for liberal Democratic politicians. These are the trends that helped push ideological polarization as Democrats moved to the left and Republicans to the right.

It took until the 1990s for the GOP to seriously challenge southern Democrats at the state and local level. This helped give Newt Gingrich and Republicans their "revolution" in 1994. the most symbolic depiction of this was Senator Richard Shelby switching parties from Democrat to Republican the day after the 1994 elections.
I se
And yet the question remains: what is the nation? I see very little chance of a a coherent nation forking that can encompass a highly polarized, unequal, multiethnic society such as ours.

The 1979 eclipse is the first eclipse of any kind I remember seeing. I was in the 7th grade at the time, and my friend and I were working the school cafeteria cleaning the dishes and silverware. It was a mostly cloudy day with snow flurries, but we did manage to see glimpses of the Sun through the clouds. Where we lived at the time, the partial eclipse was only about 33% or so, so not impressive at all. The 2017 eclipse was my first total eclipse witnessed in person.

Interesting column by NYT Ross Douthat, who has been of the view that the arguments on voting access laws are overblown on both sides. He looks at two recently published academic studies that indicate that the Supreme Court ruling and last year's law/rules changes did not really affect voter turnout much. In the former case, perhaps because parties work harder to get out the vote in response to law/rules changes, in the latter perhaps because folks switched their voting from in-person to absentee, but did not vote in greater numbers.

Oh hell, now it's revolutions. Define "work out."

Stipulate two Enlightenments, the Scottish and the French. To simplify that simplification, the FF's clearly stood more in the former than the latter school, while on the Continent the reverse was true.

The revolutionary USA grew rapidly against relatively weak opponents (once the loyalists, who were larger as a % than French emigres and exiles were of the French population, left) --the native Americans were never numerous or united enough to do more than harass and delay the steamroller of modernity, and even our tie against the Brits during the last few years of Napoleon's exertions proved a win-win in the end.

The success of the AmRev spawned copycat revs in South America--which depended on the same dynamic of imperial decline or distraction to succeed.

Millions poured into the newly opened and accessible continent, cushioned by the oceans and to a place that had already dropped the worst aspects of the Old World (at least up here).

OTOH, in Europe the Great but very broke and mismanaged Nation was the site of civil and religious strife with atrocity on both sides, which should surprise no one. Whatever else can be said, what emerged was modern, sleek, and effective to a degree and extent that it took a mere general to knock down structures that had endured for centuries-- mini-tyrannies, priest-ridden toy kingdoms, trade barriers, tolls, exploitation of workers, Jews still confined to ghettos and lacking most rights, serfdom that wasn't much better than slavery in some places . . .

How long would the good ideas of the Enlightenment have taken to bear fruit in a century of spectacular, unprecedented economic. social, and cultural progress if Bonaparte and his armies had not kicked all that rubbish down? Even as they hated the French, the populations of Europe knew that there was no going back, even if their rulers, crowned ruffians all, did their best to make it so.

By 1830 there were more liberal revolutions and in 1848 the abortive Big One, which in turn generated a lot of liberal and radical migration to this country--the famous Forty-Eighters, explicitly abolitionist and a major component of the Union effort in 1861-1864.

But even the failed revs moved the ratchet of expectation.

So, did those work out?

According to a declassified Joint Intelligence Report entitled "Foreign Threats to the 2020 US Federal Elections:"

Moscow used Rudy Giuliani's prime source, Andriy Derkach, a pro-Russian member of Ukraine’s Parliament, to undermine Mr. Biden, the report confirmed. Mr. Derkach released leaked phone calls four times to undermine Mr. Biden and link him to Ukrainian corruption. The report said Mr. Putin “had purview” over the actions of Mr. Derkach, who had ties to Russian intelligence.

Citing in one instance a meeting between Mr. Derkach and Mr. Giuliani, intelligence officials warned Mr. Trump in 2019 that Russian intelligence officers were using his personal lawyer as a conduit for misinformation.

The report also named Konstantin V. Kilimnik, a former colleague of Mr. Trump’s onetime campaign manager Paul Manafort, as a Russian influence agent. Mr. Kilimnik took steps throughout the 2020 election cycle to hurt Mr. Biden and his candidacy, the report said, helping pushed a false narrative that Ukraine, not Russia, was responsible for interfering in American politics.

Collecting intelligence to feed to Mr. Trump’s allies and use against Mr. Biden was a priority for Russian intelligence. Moscow’s military intelligence unit, the G.R.U., conducted a hacking campaign against a Ukrainian energy firm, Burisma, in what was most likely an attempt to gather information about Mr. Biden’s family and their work for the company, the report confirmed.

Lots of attacks by blacks recently of Asians, all blamed on Trump, though it would be extremely hard to find a connection between previous attackers and Trump.

Regarding eclipses I wrote this on the one in 1999:

August 11, 1999

Mid-morning on the sand
Of Utah Beach the air went dark
Falling from the wings of birds
Confounded by totality

They called and settled
As into the next world
Like souls surprised
To be woken from our dream

But we who had been warned
Were careful not to look at heaven
Where the moon devoured the sun
Until only a flickering ring was left

Instead we kept our sight on shadows
That slipped through one another
In only such time it later seemed
As it might take the sea to breathe

Ken B blathered: "Mock believes the USA was once one single British colony?"

On the whole, we were. Ken B, I thought you might have moved on from the town of Jerkdom, but alas you remain the mayor.

I'm saying "Bye" again: you guys are still a pack of white liars and hypocrites, and (once again) it hasn't paid to engage with white hypocrites who will lie, so I've done my duty to MLK (and learned my lesson from Malcolm once more) and will now go back to reporting this fact to the others I meet, offline:

Many white people are dirty, unethical, backstabbing demons, who will eat your soul if you let them.

Toodles.

Dan Bongino, Westwood in Talks in Air 12-3 pm Live Radio Show Post-Rush Limbaugh

Rush sucks now. It would have to be Steyn or nothing, and they're not trying Steyn.

Last night we finished watching "Mank." It had something to do with with the making of "Citizen Kane" and puking on some rich guy's carpet. The puking would have made a bigger political statement had it been shot in color instead of black and white. I take it on faith that it wasn't the rich guy who had to clean it up.

It was too early for bed so we started watching "Rolling Thunder Review." I thought maybe I'd learn to appreciate Bob Dylan which is something I'd really like to do since he's a Nobel Laureate and all.

Instead, I learned that Patti Smith knows how to do a lot of coke.

And then it was time for bed.

Perhaps I should add that our cat pukes on our carpet on a regular basis and I don't think he's really saying anything at all.

"Now I know what it was you were trying to tell me, Ma. What you fall in love with as a girl in't always what you want as a women," says Laura.
"You can still have sweetness and giddy joys. Just so long as that's not all there is," replies Ma.
As heard on "Lark Rise to Candleford," my latest favorite show on TV...

Surge in Migrants Defies Easy or Quick Solutions for Biden
By Michael D. Shear and Zolan Kanno-Youngs

The administration expects more apprehensions at the border this year than at any point in the past two decades. Enacting policy to deal with the problems faces deep-rooted political and logistical challenges.

The real question is how many are getting across without being apprehended.

Yeah, our next "surge" of Rona thanks to dumbocrat voters. What's with these microphones?

"If you think taxes are a thing of the past and you live in a red state ... boy are you in for a surprise.

Even more than ever before the federal budget and taxes are going to be used to reward and punish and bribe. All failing blue states get bailouts and handouts and red states get killed. Purple states make out like bandits."
Thank you capt obvious. We'll look right into it.

A high level scan of the overnight news stories indicates that Cuomo is likely to ride out the recent political storm and fulfill his term as governor.

Robert Aaron Long provides the perfect trifecta for Libs to go after guns, hunting, and religion. Oh and he is white, male, and Southern. We're not going to hear the end of this for a very long time.

For you chemists out there, think about catalysts and thermodynamics. Many of the physical laws hold surprisingly well for social milieu.
