J6 Tapes, Weinstein, COVID and Epstein it’s all the Same Issue for the Media/Deepstate/Left

Sir Humphrey Appleby: Open government, Prime Minister. Freedom of information. We should always tell the press freely and frankly, anything, that they could easily find out some other way

Yes Prime Minister: The Grand Design 1986

For two days now the left has been on full attack mode on Tucker Carlson for showing part of the J6 tapes that had been withheld from public view by the Democrat left.

There were a lot of adjectives thrown around by people who should know better but because they have become balkanized, jumped in two feet to express their condemnation at the images shown.

The anger of the left over this assault on their narrative was impressive but the source of these attacks is the fact that there is one word that can’t be credibly used to describe these images:

“FALSE”

That’s because those images came directly from McCarthy and furthermore said images, like the origins of the COVID virus, the actions of Harvey Weinstien and even the actions of Jeffrey Epstein were known to many who are now screaming bloody murder over them being seen by you because the problem it poses for them is the same.

They don’t care if J6 wasn’t the insurrection they claimed or if COVID did come from a lab in china funded by Fauci or that Harvey Weinstein was making actresses bang him for parts or even if Jeffrey Epstein was pimping out underage girls for the rich, powerful and connected to use as their playthings. These are facts they’ve known for years and have ignored them or used the false narratives for their own ends.

What they object to is YOU knowing these facts because once these facts are publicly known they have to publicly react to them in a way that at best doesn’t reward them and at worst puts them and their positions at risk.

In other words these facts reveal them for what they are cowards, scum or just indifferent to their fellow man.

Pray for them.

Postscript: This observation from Mr. Hoge is worth noting

At the end of 2020, various friends from around the country asked me for advice about the where to stay in the DC area and the best routes in and out of town. They were all coming for rallies on 6 January. I gave my opinions on accommodations and other logistics—and I advised them to stay away from the Capitol Building and to let Congress do whatever it would do. Given that the Democrats were in control of both houses, it seemed to me that they had some sort of trap set for any demonstrations that strayed onto the turf under their exclusive control.

Thus far, nothing on the surveillance video aired by Fox has surprised me, and I presume the worst is yet to be revealed.

My 28th Amendment to Give DC Representation

Posted: March 7, 2023 by datechguy in Uncategorized

The left continues to be very loud in their quest to turn the city of DC into a state claiming they want to give the city full representation but in fact looking to gain political advantage.

However the problem of DC representation in congress is easily solved by my 28th Amendment to the Constitution:

  • Article One: For the purposes of congressional representation The District of Columbia and it’s population shall be treated as if it was a part of the state of Maryland and the citizens therein shall vote for Senatorial candidates in Maryland and shall be represented by the same
  • Article Two: For the purposes of creating congressional districts in the state of Maryland pursuant to Article one the District of Columbia shall be considered a single district unless the population of the district relative to the state of Maryland entitles it to more than one seat in the state’s delegation. If this takes place at least one districts must consist solely of territory in the District of Columbia.
  • Article Three: The votes of the District of Columbia in a presidential election shall be considered part of the vote in the State of Maryland and the population therein shall be counted toward the population of the state of Maryland when determining the number of electoral votes the State of Maryland shall possess.
  • Article Four: None of the above articles shall be interpreted to confer upon the state of Maryland or its legislature any sovereignty over the District of Columbia in terms of it’s governance including it’s governance of elections within said district.

Viola Full representation for the citizens of the District of Columbia.

If I was the GOP As soon as I had control of congress I’d introduce this as a Constitutional Amendment at their earliest opportunity and get it out to the states.

The mauling of malls

Posted: March 7, 2023 by chrisharper in Uncategorized

By Christopher Harper

Just up the road from our home in Muncy, Pennsylvania, sits the skeleton of the former Lycoming Mall, which recently locked its doors after nearly 45 years in business.

The mall, which opened in 1978, had more than 80 outlets. Many now defunct stores were once located there: Hess’s, Woolworth, Deb, KB Toys, Bon-Ton, Baker’s Shoes, Christopher & Banks, and others.

The issues that led to the closure of the Lycoming Mall plague many malls throughout the country: the impact of Covid and online buying.

While the country’s most popular malls continue to perform relatively well, with steady foot traffic and occupancy, hundreds of others are grappling with significant vacancies, fewer visitors, and uncertain futures.

American malls are a story of haves and have-nots. The real estate analytics firm Green Street estimates that at the 1,000 U.S. malls it tracks, there are about 750 vacant anchor boxes — vast spaces that once housed chains like Sears, Nordstrom, and Macy’s. Those are difficult to fill in regular times, but the past few years have made it extraordinarily tough.

A slew of bankruptcies, including J.C. Penney and Brooks Brothers, fueled closures. Some retailers decided to shutter their least-profitable stores, causing another exodus. More than 12,000 stores announced closures in 2020, according to CoStar Group, a data provider for the real estate industry.

Many people have a deep nostalgia for their local mall. It was often a place for teens to hang out after school, a source for back-to-school clothing, or the locale of a first job.

One of the local news sites collected stories from people about the Lycoming Mall.

“I got my Cabbage Patch doll there. I took classes in the community room to teach me how to walk in heels and put on makeup. I performed in the hole that was in the center of the mall at one time (baton twirling). I got belly button rings from Spencer’s. I got books for my daughter from the bookstore and took her to Boardwalk for fun. I have chased my grandkids around in that mall. So many memories,” said Bobbimarie Allen.

Fortunately, a group of local developers plans to create a mixed residential and shopping area in the Lycoming Mall, so the vast area won’t be an eyesore in a few years!

Definitions Under the Fedora: Safe, Woman, Illegal, Disinformation and Truth

I wasn’t aware of the suit against Pfizer claiming they violated their contract with the Government over the COVID vaccine and thus doesn’t have immunity over their delivered vaccine. Given the ads constantly be running on radio about watching for signs of heart issues that are sponsored by them (ads we didn’t see three years ago) they might be worried but all of this depends on how the court defines “Save and effective”. If they make sure it’s defined in their favor it all doesn’t matter.

In Minnesota they’re having fun adjusting definitions of “woman” as a Transgender Powerlifter has won in court against the US Powerlifting federation. Apparently under Minnesota law, at least according to the court, to stop a man who believes himself to be a woman from competing against other woman is discriminatory and traumatic.

Hey if at least one justice on the Supreme Court can’t under oath define what a woman is how do you expect judges on the Minnesota courts to do so.

If they lose their appeals my advice is to drop all segregation by sex in powerlifting. I suspect once the prospects finishing in a medal round disappear so will these “woman” from competition.

Over at Legal Insurrection there is a piece about Germany banning protests against abortion as the “40 days for life” movement has come there and made quite a splash.

The left fear is always a good sign but there was something in the piece that jumped out at me:

Currently, abortion is illegal in Germany, but women and their doctors do not face penalties if the pregnancy poses a health risk to the woman or in cases of rape. There is also a loophole under which an abortion may be carried out within the first 12 weeks of pregnancy (14 weeks since the last period) after mandatory counseling.

emphasis mine

That seems a rather flexible definition of the word “illegal” in my books, but to a person of a certain age Germans finding a loophole allowing them to kill undesirables is almost tradition.

The Twitter files keep coming out an the government’s use of the word “disinformation” to justify their actions is looking worse and worse as the New Neo reports:

Maybe GEC’s involvement was a secret, but it was no secret – to anyone paying attention – that vast numbers of Twitter accounts were being censored for fairly ordinary viewpoints, the majority of them on the right. It wasn’t limited to Twitter, either – YouTube was heavily involved.

I can vouch for the Youtube censorship but to me the real key line of the story (other than this being,surprise an Obama initiative is this:

The center has a budget of roughly $74 million and “reportedly gave to at least 39 different organizations, whose names were redacted” in an inspector general report.

I submit and suggest that this was, and still is, all about funding leftist front groups to point to their political enemies to have them censored.

Land of the free my ***

Just over two thousands years ago Jesus Christ said:

John 8:32

Apparently Scott Adams has confirmed this is true

This makes this particular bit about the Scott Adams story, via Roger Kimball, particularly interesting:

Oh, the howls of outrage that comment elicited! The woke beast was awake and on the prowl. “Dilbert has been cancelled from all newspapers, websites, calendars, and books,” Adams said. Why? “Because I gave some advice everyone agreed with. (My syndication partner canceled me.)”

Once whetted, the appetite of the woke beast is insatiable. A day or two later, Adams reported, “My publisher for non-Dilbert books has canceled my upcoming book and the entire backlist. Still no disagreement about my point of view. My book agent canceled me too.”`

It is true, by the way, that “everyone agrees” with the point that Adams made. Everyone knows it is true. But no one is supposed to admit that it is true. Adams made it all worse by observing that “There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps . . . then turn around and see somebody white and feel relieved.” Oh, wait. I got my notes confused. That wasn’t Scott Adams. That was the professional black Jesse Jackson in 1993. 

Perhaps the word “cancelled” might have to be redefined
