The Scariest Things I’ve read in weeks…

…was at the conclusion of this post on how the oppression of the left is a sign of weakness and tottering.

Reynolds quotes the piece of substack and then says the following:

I agree that the system is weak and tottering. I worry that what replaces it will not be an improvement, which history indicates is a real possibility.

Any student of history knows that it’s very rare that for a system to be replaced by what is expected and that real possibility is likely a lot worse than anyone is expecting.

A close 2nd is this from Kurt Schlichter about the new rules concerning locking up political opponents:

There are a lot of state attorney generals and district attorneys out there in red states, and they are going through their statute books. Conservatives, who tend to be doomers, are fretting because none of these red officials have acted yet. But they will act, all in good time. First, slow, then all at once. That is inevitable. That is the logic of this scenario. You see, all the incentives are to prosecute Democrats in red enclaves for things Democrats did far away. The first red AG or DA who does it is going to be a superstar. And then all the others are going to have to follow along lest they be left behind.

The new rules are going to suck. Those are the fruits of a post-Christian society

Oh Come ON NH, Different Voters Same Counters, Banking it Up, 11 in a row and Rumbling to PintasticNE 2023 Under the Fedora

Over at Granite Grok we see that some in NH are conspiring to keep Trump off the ballot based on a creative use of the 14th amendment.

New Hampshire attorney Bryant “Corky” Messner, whom Trump previously endorsed in New Hampshire’s 2020 U.S. Senate race, is apparently responsible for getting the idea on Scanlan’s radar. Messner recently announced plans to sue to ensure Scanlan enforces the Fourteenth Amendment against Trump.

the Grok says:

Go ahead and try it.

You’ll be hand-counting write-ins for days: It’ll look like Iowa for the Dems a few years back. Um, yeah, sorry, we don’t know who one yet.

As you all know I’ve already endorsed DeSantis as my 1st choice over Trump who is my 2nd but be that as it may any state that lets folks like Vermin Supreme on the ballot has no business excluding Trump.

Apparently when the Sununu crowd hates you, you stay hated

There seems to be a lot of fuss at the idea that black men are making memes in support of Trump and the mug shot, also there was some very interesting video of black folks cheering Trump as he left his booking.

If Trump will get these black voters to vote for him that’s good news, of course if they are voting for him in districts where the same people who stole the election from him the last time are counting the votes it won’t matter much.

One thing that all sides of the GOP seem to be on the same page with is the idea of “banking” your vote, taking advantage of early voting so the left can’t use traffic jams or water pipe bursts to decrease voting on election day.

It’s not a bad idea but I’d also like some kind of system to confirm that the vote was:

  1. Actually counted
  2. Not thrown away and replaced by another ballot

Of course since the primary use of extra voting days and mail ballots is to enable fraud it’s unlikely such safe guards are in place.

If the GOP doesn’t have lawyers on top of this now they’re fools.

On a completely different subject after a huge 10 game winning streak my Dynasty Draft 1971 league team has managed to lose 11 straight series in a row losing 2-3 to teams from the best to the worst.

We’re not quite at the fire sale point but I’m damn close to it.

Finally it’s T minus 11 days to Pintastic NE this year in Marlborough MA. I don’t know the layout of the new hotel and such but I’m very much looking forward to it.

Be Aware that due to the Youtube ban All my videos will be at my Rumble account along with the entire YouTube library that I built up over a decade and a half

The American Medical System makes it difficult to get help

Over the past two months I’ve been struggling with a couple of medical issues.  Neither issue is serious.   These are issues that in the past were resolved quickly.  Not anymore.  It took weeks to figure what the cause was of one of my issues, and I had to do that myself.

I remember in the good old days, if you had issues that were at the level of issues I was experiencing they would check you into the hospital for a couple of days.  There they would run a lot of tests and consult specialists.  A diagnosis usually came quick along with the treatments.

Today it is much harder to get admitted to the hospital.  At the Emergency Room they run you through a standard battery of tests.  If the results are not life threatening they send you home, even if you are in bad shape. 

Instead of a quick diagnosis and treatment you are given referrals to specialists on an outpatient basis.  The waiting time to get to see a specialist for the first time is usually several weeks.  It usually takes a couple of visits with a specialist to get a diagnosis and treatment pinned down.  If you are suffering like I was, that delay can seem like an eternity. 

One condition I am suffering from is painful.  In the good old days, they prescribed a pain medication that actually worked.  Thanks to war on opiates, the vast majority of pain medications they prescribe now don’t really work and have a long list of side effects.  I have been informed by more than one doctor that the reason they no longer prescribe opiate pain medications to patients that need them is because if they did, they would be arrested. 

The opiate crisis was not caused by patients that really needed opiate pain medication.  It was caused by open borders and an abundant supply of illegal narcotics.  Politicians panicked.  They stepped in between doctors and patients.  Now patients are suffering,

Thankfully I am on the mend.  The pain I’m suffering with now can be treated with over-the-counter pain medications.  I feal sorry for all of the countless individuals that are suffering and cannot get the pain medication they need.   

Forgetting his Own Snake Song

"I saved you," cried that woman
"And you've bit me even, why?
You know your bite is poisonous and now I'm going to die"
"Oh shut up, silly woman," said the reptile with a grin
"You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in

This ad from the DeSantis camp is the first open hit on President Trump and it’s a valid one:

You see there is one basic thing that President Trump missed that has now become very apparent during the Joe Biden years.

If there are no consequences for bad behavior (such as mass shoplifting looting, setting fires and assaulting people on the streets) you get more of it.

Likewise if there is no punishment for corruption in government you get more of it. DeSantis understands this and has made the left pay the price in Florida.

Donald Trump let the left in general and the Clintons in particular off the hook on their corruption because while he was a bit off the reservation in the sense of getting things that needed to be done for the people done, in the end this was the circle he has previous traveled in and hoped once his term(s) were over to travel in again so he let them know that his rhetoric about corruption and draining the swamp was just business.

Alas he didn’t recognize that the swamp didn’t feel the same and even has his campaign in general and he himself in particularly rightly cry foul over the corrupt use of government against him to criminalize political speech they can paraphrase his own words against him

Oh shut up, silly Donald,” leftists cry and laugh and scoff
“You knew well what we were back on the day you let us off
