Reilly Gains notes a reason for the cheers for Elon, I note something missing

Stacy McCain still being banned from Twitter reminds me of Molly Norris still in hiding for her life. Both outraged me at the time and I’m still pissed off by the pair.

The only reason why the slave trade died was the British government put their navy on stopping it and actually paid cash to captains per slave freed. African nations at the time hated that. Rather than needing a civil war they paid compensation to slaveowners to make things work and those loans they took to do so were only recently retired.

I’m old enough when people actually knew history.

I always find it sad with I see Anne Applebaum drinking the koolaid. Her Black book of Communism was an important work and recorded things that history might have lost from the Soviet archives and a service to humanity.

But that’s not a guarantee against Trump derangement syndrome.

You actually have to watch the video this is clipped from for full context but the good news is the black woman recognized that the white girl has gone over the line and scolds her for it. Given they’re Kamala fans that’s signifies hope. The bad news is that the girl who is apparently an organizer for Kamala is now going to have to carry this stupid act for as long as there is an internet which is forever.

It’s really a bad thing when your politics becomes your religion because fanatics are dangerous.

Also a lot of people seeing this remember being young and stupid and thank God that cell phone camera and the internet weren’t around when they were young.

I’m going to include two tweets in this last section first from the Lincoln Project

and the 2nd from Rick Wilson who draws his pay from a different source than he once did.

I don’t get all that upset about these guys. You know left PACS are paying their bills and they aren’t going to make a dime from GOP candidates anymore so they’re just earning the bucks for being the paid actors that they are. This is the script or at least the outline and they’re just saying lines.

There are two types of people who don’t see the writing on the wall. The people who have made politics their religion like the niche market who still watch CNN that Jake Tapper was pandering to here:

and the people who are paid to pretend not to see it. They will be talking about a Democrat wave sweeping the country right until the day that High Brazil sinks under the waves and beyond if the cash keeps coming.

A Conservative is a Liberal Mugged by Reality. Ana Kasparian edition

In fairness my title not withstanding I don’t think we can call Ana Kasparian a “conservative” at least not yet.

But the key line from this tweet speaks volumes:

Kasparian says she was picking up her dog’s poop when a homeless man came up from behind her and grabbed her hips. He allegedly had an er*ction and started thrusting. When she shared her story, liberals accused her of “painting a wrongful picture of the homeless community” with some people calling her racist even though she didn’t say what race the man was.

You see when your politics becomes your religion you can’t allow actual reality. The assault on Ms. Kasparian, to interfere with your narrative, particularly if said narrative might be considered of use to your political opponents. And if a person even a liberal person is not able to sustain this narrative because they decide being sexually assaulted is outside their comfort zone, well that person is a heretic who must be expelled.

Cue Tom Baker:

There is nothing like being pushed out of your bubble by reality and then shunned by those still within it when you try to interact.

What is the reality of the fear of a single woman next to the cause?

Oakland, Gaza and Southport, all self inflicted

“First we must cross the river,” Benito was saying.  “Do you believe me now when I tell you that you must not attempt to swim it, or even get wet from it, or must you try that too?”

“What happens if I just dive in?”

“Then you will be as you were in the bottle.  Aware and unable to move.  but it will be very cold, and very uncomfortable, and you will be there for all eternity knowing that you put yourself there.”

Larry Niven & Jerry Pournelle Inferno 1976

As I look at the situation in Oakland where lawlessness is out of control and the situation in Gaza where the Palestinians of the area find themselves longing for the days before Oct 7th in and Southport where both the community and the entire British nation are reeling from riots caused after the murder of multiple school children there is one thing that connects them all.

All of these disasters are self inflicted.

In Oakland they have voted left, left and further left, they have failed to enforce the laws and protected crime, they have condemned those who oppose said crime. In short, they have behaved like a liberal city and like many liberal cites in the US those who have the power to get out have and thus they find themselves with a shrinking tax base, lawlessness in the streets and no prospect for it to change. Even the Oakland A’s who moved there in 1968 are getting out of town and will actually be playing in a minor league park before their final move to Vegas where fans will be safe.

None of this happens without the votes of the public.

In Gaza once Israel pulled out 20 years ago the populace voted in Hamas. They gave silent approval as elections no longer took place and aid money went to tunnels, some so large that you could drive trucks through them. They had no issue with hospitals built with command centers for war, rockets regularly firing into Israel and when the October 7th attacks took place, Palestinians “civilians” were the second wave the looted Israeli homes and beat captives taken back to their land.

Israel finally waking from their long period of tolerance for these attacks has gone in and crushed Gaza, With the taking of the border with Egypt and the demolishing and capture of the tunnels brining in weapons it’s only a matter of time before the weapon and ammo stores fail and the final rout of Hamas is completed.

Meanwhile Gaza has cities crushed from war and finds themselves dependent on external aid…which Hamas still steals and resells for profit.

All of this is the result of choosing Hamas and more importantly choosing killing Jews over living and bettering their own lives.

In England the Labor government and the Labor party has been encouraging unfettered immigration without assimilation for decades but more importantly they have encouraged law enforcement to look the other way when these guest commit crimes or march and take over cities.

When the left rioted and destroyed they “felt their pain” but when native English prayed or posted opinions against this the full wait of the govvernment was used against them.

Finally with the murder of children people have had enough to the point where there are not only riots in England but in Northern Ireland Unionists and the IRA have untied against the two tiered justice system.

It would be easy to blame Labor but conservatives (well the British version of conservatives) were in power for a long time but were all in on this two tiered system as they wanted at all costs to not be called racists and if cities had to be taken over and girls raped and a few people killed, well it’s was all for the greater good.

Even with the unfettered immigration England could have avoided this by simply enforcing the law equally. All they had to do was law down the marker that you can’t do this kind of thing in Britain without consequences.

They did not and now the fight is on. England seems poised for perhaps its 3rd civil war. I don’t know if it will go that far but I’ll tell you it will get much worse before it gets better.

All three of these things come from not being will to see things as they are, in the light of truth. If we fail to do this as a nation their fate will be ours.

Ismail Haniyeh Death Provides An Uncomfortable Truth For All Those Crying “Genocide” Over Gaza

Vorshak: But should you remain stubborn, it’ll be a long and painful business, so start talking.
Turlough: I’ve told him, and now I’m trying to tell you. We are not enemy agents, saboteurs
Nilson: Then why were you attempting to destroy the reactor?
Turlough: If the Doctor had intended to destroy it, it would be lying in pieces at your feet.

Doctor Who: Warriors of the Deep 1984

The slaying of Ismail Haniyeh one of the heads of Hamas in what should have been practically the safest place in the Islamic world for him to be is a sold reminder of an inconvenient pair of facts that all in the Arab World know is true but none will admit aloud due to the nature of their “face/shame” culture but that many of the useful idiots in the left seem to forget.

Fact One:  

The only reason why there is any Jew left alive in Israel is the Arabs inability to kill them.  They will never forgive Israel for repeatedly beating them in 1947, 1954, 1967 and 1973 and in their minds that embarrassment can only be removed by the destruction of Israel and the end of the Jewish state.  If the Arabs could they would slaughter every single Jew in Israel and celebrate the Genocide they dream of producing.  

Fact Two:  

The only reason why there is any Arab alive in Israel, Gaza and the West Bank is that Israel does not want to kill them.  They have the military might and the logistical ability to completely annihilate every single Arab in general and Palestinian in particular and have had that ability over half a century.  If Israel wanted to commit Genocide against those Arabs who wish them dead they would be dead.

I strongly suspect due to their culture of shame the only thing that angers and embarrasses the Arabs more than the first fact is the truth of the second.
