Five September Thoughts Under the Fedora: Greenland, A Great Incentive , First Amendment Reality, Russian Noises and The Election Comes Closer

So let me get this straight. We now have full military control of Greenland, independent of what happens with NATO and veto power over any other power doing a thing in the Island.

We have this without condition, without payment and without any responsibilities of the governance, and the press wants to pretend this is no big deal?

The best deal is the one where you get what you want and the other guy thinks they’ve pulled one over you. This is classic Trump.

No wonder the press is pissed.

The Washington Examiner is reporting that illegal immigrants are being increasingly deported to third world countries.

I can’t think of anything that might provide an incentive for people to decide to self deport or to not pay a coyote to smuggle into America.

I have no idea how accurate this report is but if I was Trump I’d spread this far and wide as the deterrent effect shold be considerable.

The text of the First Amendment is as follows:

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”

It says absolutely nothing about allowing CNN, MSNOW & Politico access to the president inside the White House.

All three “news” organizations are free to report whatever they want & present it however they want. When that stops, call me.

Russia seems to be making threatening noises in the direction of NATO countries and the Baltic states.

In one respect it makes perfect sense, NATO countries have been aiding Ukraine defense against Russia and pressure on such states and covert actions against them is only to be expected.

But given Russia’s lack of success in Ukraine proper I don’t see how they are in a position to open up a front in the east when such a move might not only unite Europe against them but when it means fighting a Polish military that is solid, intact and has plenty of motivation historically to give them a bloody nose.

The real question nobody is asking is this: How desperate is Putin’s position in Russia?

The most desperate is position is the more likely he will do something stupid or risky to restore it. That more than anything else is the real danger and the wildcard in play.

I’ve reached a point where I’m not sure who to believe when it comes to what’s happening in the national races.

I’m pretty much resigned to Massachusetts not learning from it’s mistakes that driving people out of the state but the sheer amount of noise coming from all sides makes it practically impossible to figure out what is actually happening.

I suspect this is by design but the noise doesn’t matter because reality will eventually bleed through.

Let’s hope it’s a good one for the country.

Five One Line Thoughts on “He had the hardest time getting over the fact that Lindsey viciously killed her children” Under the Fedora

This is a perfect example of Chesterton’s fence analogy about what the loss of Christianity as a base to a society creates.

When people tell you who they are believe it

I no longer think that the fellow who quipped that women might look back and say “this is the moment when we lost the right to vote” was joking.

If I wanted to promote Islam and suggest that women deserved to be treated as 2nd class citizens, I’d play this on a loop for people.

It took only three generations of prayer being gone from schools & “Similarly I will not give to a woman a pessary to cause abortion.” from the Hippocratic Oath to reach this point

Five Thoughts Under the Fedora: Coyote vs Acme’s a Winner, The Spin Cycle on Iran is Ending, China Says Jump Canada’s Carney Says “How High?”, Oil for the tanks of Trump, Goodbye Dolly

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a movie that’s actually is popular both with the critics and the fans. Coyote vs Acme is one of them. I went to see it with my sons and my priest and amazingly it was even better than the hype.

That they decided it was incapable of making its cost back is a tad of a surprise but $70 million isn’t peanuts.

I have believe that it was held back because the last thing the left wants is people watching old movies and cartoons that bring people back to saner times.

The attempt to spin the Iran war online seems to have intensified. Likely because with a secure corridor for shipping and the continuing pipeline advancements the ability of Iran and their allies to stop oil from flowing is almost nil.

Add to that the phony mines and the strikes to interdict their resupply the only cards they have are talk and social media.

But once that oil reaches the market you will see prices come down & when that happens in October it will be bad news for the left and even worse for the Democrats.

But yeah believe the online folks who claim that Trump is a fool.

Canada’s decision to cover for China’s attempt to dump steel into the US through them speaks a lot to what the Canadian left has done to the country.

Personally I think it’s less about China protecting their steel exports then it is the hope that this hurts the GOP in the midterms.

Iran, Canada, Russia, China and the Democrats would all like to see the midterms go bad for Trump.

They know where their bread is buttered.

Apparently Trump has made a deal with Venezuela that will be refilling our strategic oil reserve as a “gift” to our country.

This is another blow to the “Trump is an idiot” , “Trump is a failure”, “Trump doesn’t know what’s he’s doing” narrative, but more importantly it puts the US in the single best position in the west with full tanks at a time when others energy supplies are failing.

All of this without a giant hit on our treasury. How much winning can one president manage?

Finally the reaction to the death of Dolly Parton has been a huge surprise to me. Not that people have celebrated her, but that it has been universal and international. People who have been pushing the most vile murderous ideologies have nevertheless recognized her goodness and her actions on behalf of her fellow man which was practiced without favoritism.

It was so universal that her unwillingness to attack her own people, a people despised by the elites everywhere, were not enough to bring down their opinion of her.

It would not surprise me if some of those in media complementing her don’t mean it, but they’re smart enough to know there is no percentage in trying to play those cards.

Dolly as a villain just isn’t sellable, at least not at this time.

Repeats Under the Fedora: Fauci diaries, DeSantis v Fauci, 4th Doctor Remains Undefeated on the Powerful & the Stupid, Biden’s Tapes and let’s say it one more time

It never ceases to Amaze me that people write things down that incriminate them. The Fauci diaries reveal him to be everything that people have claimed he was for quite a long time. It’s also worth noting he didn’t know that he had a pardon coming when he did.

This is what happens when folks assume their allies will have power forever, it also illustrates the difference between an “Italian” and a “Sicilian” and also an old saying that nobody does good like a good Catholic and nobody does harm like a bad one.

The diaries also not how much Fauci detested Governor Ron DeSantis who apparently was too smart to fall for a lot of his stuff.

This is one of the reasons why I supported DeSantis in the Primary over Trump as I believed that the COVID stuff and the Fauci stuff would be tied to Trump like a scarlet letter while DeSantis would be able to use the COVID business against Biden or whoever the nominee for the Democrats was.

Trump was of course able to deal with this by simply not discussing Fauci during the campaign, he learned quickly it was a loser & dropped the subject. In fairness to Trump on this subject he was born into a culture that held medical doctors in high esteem, a culture where the Hippocratic Oath had not been edited and one where the idea that a Doctor or any medical professional would give false advice to harm the nation & the people in it for fame, wealth & power was practically unthinkable.

There has been a lot said on Twitter/X about the Fauci situation but the thing that is most true is that those who have worshiped Fauci (and let’s not pretend it isn’t worship they have friggen Fauci votive candles) will completely ignore the diaries because to acknowledge them would violate their worldview & they can’t have that.

This is also why the left/media can be outraged by Donald Trump jokinkly comparing Kathleen Collins to Dylan Mulvaney without being able to say WHY they’re outraged because to say why is to admit that men who pretend to be women are not.

The 4th Doctor’s line about the very powerful and the very stupid changing the facts to fit their views remains undefeated.

Speaking of facts and views the Biden tapes are now out and it’s rather clear that the President had classified documents in his possession, knew that the items were classified and discussed them with his ghostwriter.

Look for the same media that went after Trump and supported the Mar-a-lago raid to completely ignore this or pass over it quickly, in fact I think they already have.

(see 4th doctor reference above)

Finally let me repeat something I said a long time ago on the subject of Transgenderism that I’ve been repeating for years and still bears repeating:

If a person decides they are Napoleon & decides to talk, act, & dress like Napoleon even to the point of surgery or even chemical use to make them more closely resemble Napoleon that’s on them, their problem, their delusion, none of my business.

The moment that person insists that I shout: “Vive L’Empereur!” & then tries to use local state & federal law & or cultural pressure to make me do so, then it transforms into my problem to defend my rights & I will defend those rights & not submit.
