When Your Vote No Longer Matters

Four years ago Oregonians overwhelmingly rejected, 66-34%, the idea of giving illegal aliens drivers licenses. Democrats in the legislature are going to vote to do it anyway. The ballot measure only passed in Multnomah county (Portland).

More Butthurt in California

UC Santa Cruz has announced that it will remove historic bells from the “Spanish Missions” after many in the UC Santa Cruz community argued that the artifact is offensive.

The “Spanish Mission” bells were used between 1769 and 1833 to highlight the path of the 21 California Missions, which were constructed to evangelize Native Americans.  Now, the school views these bells as symbols of past oppression.

Valentin Lopez, chairman of the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, encouraged the university to remove the bells. “These bells are deeply painful symbols that celebrate the destruction, domination and erasure of our people, they are constant reminders of the disrespect our tribe faces to this day.”

Oh, The Pain of It All

George Washington High School in San Francisco plans to remove an “offensive” mural of George Washington. At a school board meeting this week, no board members spoke in defense of the historical art, which one speaker claims causes “visual offense.”

George Washington High School in San Francisco plans to erase a 13-panel mural from 1936 that depicts George Washington. Many critics of the mural have condemned its depictions of slaves and Native Americans. Now, the school is on the verge of removing the mural altogether.

“Why do we have to explain the pain caused by visual offense that we see in that building that is supposed to be an institution of learning,” one local said.

Man Made

Eye of Photography has a 10 photo exhibition of Stel that really captures the texture and feel of abandoned structures. Here is how they categorize his work:

Jan Stel explores and photographs desolate places of our time. A forgotten world from which the human presence has disappeared. Over the past twenty years he has photographed numerous locations at home and abroad, including an old gas tank, steel plant, cooling tower, power station, large winery, casino and stately mansions. The ten cabinets and period rooms of the monumental museum form an ideal décor for the exhibition.

The artist has a great fascination for the aesthetics of past glory. It is the essence of his photographic work. The history of precious, authentic buildings, the absence of people and lost craftsmanship play a prominent role. The past left behind is photographed with pure, natural light, without flash or studio lights.

In My Neck of the Woods

I don’t go fishing on weekends, not because it becomes too crowded on the water but rather it becomes too crowded at the launch points. All the folk (from north-central Alabama and southern-middle Tennessee) that slave away Monday thru Friday hit the lakes and rivers on the weekends to fish, ski, or just motor around. Those hundreds (thousands?) of boat trailers and tow vehicle all end up at the few good launch points. Calling the launch sites a ‘choke point’ would be an understatement.

So looking out over the next five days I think both Monday and Tuesday are going to work just fine for me. It will be somewhat cooler and much less crowded. I’ll let you know how that works out.

Ireland Will Ban Private Cars and Put 3rd World Migration in Overdrive

Breitbart has an article on how screwed the Irish will be as that nation begins transforming itself.  Drivers are to be forced off the roads and the population packed into “higher density” cities under a long-awaited climate plan which will ‘revolutionize’ people’s lifestyle and behaviors.

Brainiacs in Ireland are developing “Nudge” policies such as huge tax hikes, bans, penalties, and red tape.  Good news, your betters will pave the way to a “vibrant” Ireland of zero carbon emissions by 2050.  To help along with this insanity the government plans to boost the country’s 4.7 million-strong population by another million with mass migration.  They are gonna brown up that whiter-than-white population and cram them into urban areas.  This aught to work out well.

In order to avert a “climate apocalypse”, the government plans to force people “out of private cars because they are the biggest offenders for emissions” and ban fossil fuel vehicles from towns and cities nationwide.  The plan is intentionally cripple ordinary motorists.

Leader Leo Varadkar outlined his vision for an Ireland of ‘higher density’ cities consisting of populations whose lifestyles and behaviors have been totally transformed by ‘carrot and stick’ policies outlined in the climate plan.  “Our approach will be to nudge people and businesses to change behavior and adapt new technologies through incentives, disincentives, regulations and information.”

The Irish are so screwed.

The Privacy of Your Bedroom My Ass

The head of the Swedish gay pride movement was caught sending sexually explicit messages to the social media account of what he thought was a 14-year-old boy.   The account actually belonged to two undercover Swedish journalists.

The journalists posed as a 14-year-old named David on the gay hookup app Grindr along with the web forum Qruiser. Despite stating the age of ‘David’, more than a hundred men continued to pursue him for sex. 

Several of the men in contact with ‘David’ agreed to meet the boy for sex, including the Pride Movement head who had previously asked for explicit images and videos of the boy. When confronted, the man admitted to sending the messages but claimed he had never met an underage boy for sex in the past.

So, the Stockholm Pride organization said:  “Should it prove to be a person working within our organization, we will take powerful action immediately. We are now investigating the issue further internally (I really don’t know what they meant by ‘internally’).

Great track record from this group by the way; In December of 2017 another leading member of Stockholm Pride was fired after being involved with the rape of a 13-year-old boy.  Just two years ago a manager was caught trying to buy the virginity of a 14-year-old girl (who also turned out to be a journalist).

These people would like nothing more than to corrupt the innocence of children.  You can’t tell me this isn’t both a sickness and proof that evil walks in our world.

Dwight’s Pop

Earlier this week I mentioned the troubles I had while fishing and how the catfish seemed to be smarter than me. Dwight H. sent me a note that I much appreciate and thought I would share. It said:

An old trick my pop taught me was to snag a old pair of panty hose, drop a chunk of chicken liver in, squeeze it to the bottom and tie two over hand knots close together. Cut between the knots, and repeat tying two knots after each piece of liver. 

The nylon in the hose makes it very difficult for the catfish to get the bait off the hook and it didn’t appear to hurt their appetite.

Good luck and thanks for all the content, Dwight 

Much thanks Dwight. I know they prefer the liver far more than the gizzards so will be trying your tip next go-round

Doing What Must Be Done

So the world is going to hell rapidly and the politicians would have us believe that their is nothing we can do about it. That’s bullshit, we’ve faced the same tyranny before and found the resolve to beat it back

Take the Japanese during the WWII. Veterans of that war will tell you we stopped them with resolve and the will to use a level of brutality and violence that we are currently unable to stomach. Until we are willing to ‘go there’ this shit won’t stop. Our greatest generation hit them on the beaches with bullets, cleared out caves with flame throwers and burned down their cities killing people by the tens of thousands. It took 2 atom bombs. That’s what it took to win and we were willing to do it.

Until we are willing to do the same then we will have to endure the shit the enemy crams down our throat. It ain’t gonna stop until we are willing to stop it. The longer we wait, the greater the pain that will ultimately be inflicted.

The Lines at Polling Places are Going To Get a Lot Longer

New York state officials say that the law that allows illegal aliens to obtain driver’s licenses is likely to also enable them to vote in elections.  The law allows the 725,000 illegal aliens to be eligible for driver’s licenses and will effectively allow illegal aliens to vote in elections.

“Theoretically, they could have the ability to vote,” Democrat state Sen. Luis Sepúlvedahe (D) said.  In New York, U.S. citizens only need a driver’s license to register to vote and though applicants are required to swear that they are eligible to vote, state election officials said that “it’s basically an honor system.”

Your Socialist Future | China

A nonpartisan tribunal published a report Tuesday accusing China of “crimes against humanity,” cutting organs out of Falun Gong practitioners alive to transplant into paying clients, and potentially preparing an “organ bank” using the millions of mostly Uighur Muslims believed trapped in concentration camps in western China.

The China Tribunal – a panel of international legal experts led by Sir Geoffrey Nice, chief prosecutor in the case against Serbian war criminal Slobodan Milošević – held hearings featuring victims of China’s brutal repression of Falun Gong practitioners and ethnic Uighurs as well as eyewitnesses who testified to seeing and participating in organ testing and harvesting. The tribunal repeatedly highlighted in its report that it attempted to contact the Chinese government and bring in witnesses favorable to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), but China failed to cooperate.

It concluded that China is currently harvesting organs from Falun Gong practitioners and has begun extensive testing of its captive Uighur camp population that does not have any other overt utility outside of organ harvesting. It also concluded that “some Tibetan Buddhists and House Church Christians” (those who do not worship in government-run churches) have likely suffered forced organ harvesting.
