Spin Zone / Getting To Know Each Other - Part Two - The Sequel

My family earned poverty the hard way.

We were poor white trash.

Our family was known as the really poor family in the neighborhood, but we always ate even it wasn't enough, or nutritious.

My father was brutally disabled and my mother was illiterate.

You do what you do to survive and we all but one made it to adulthood. The baby was killed before he turned six.
It left my mother a husk, barely functional.

There was only one way out for people like us. Education was number two in importance, but work - hard work - came first.
We both (my older brother and me) studied as hard as possible and graduated ahead of almost everyone else. It wasn't enough to win any scholarships,
but when I took the military aptitude tests I did so well, it kind of helped me get assigned to training that would help me
in my career after the military.

The service offered the GI Bill in those days and it became the end all - be all for me and my older brother. The idea of a military
career never once entered my mind. I wanted the GI Bill and a chance out of the cycle of poverty that trapped most of the rest of my
loved ones.

My older brother chose the Army and communications as his desired field. He was exposed to tremendous radiation and spent the rest of his shortened life fighting cancer. It is my hope that his troubles were
caused by the fact that we didn't know enough about shielding in those days, and not because he was not important enough to protect.

Once my obligation was complete, I went straight to night school four nights a week and worked two, or three jobs during the day. Eventually (in my 40's)
I went back to graduate school and survived... barely.

Dated infrequently and married the second woman I dated more than once, or twice. We intend to stay married forever. So far - so good.

Dreamed of flying since I was 8 and didn't have a prayer of finding enough money to go with the boy scouts to Oshkosh and volunteer there.
It was Boys Life magazine, of all things, that ran a long feature of Oshkosh and got me started. Once that fire sparked to life, nothing could stamp it out for me.

Some think I came by my grumpiness because of my childhood, but that is not the case. Lots and LOTS of people were just as poor and struggled just as much.
There was nothing unique about my experience.

I HATE dealing with lazy, entitled, assholes. For your edification, I couldn't care less about your voter ID, your sexual peculiarities, or your skin color. If you are sincere about
living up to your obligations, raising the children you made, and paying your own way, I am all for giving you a hand up. If not, then fuck you.

I mean that in the most non-biased way.

Anyone else want to play?

The problem you have, petey, is you think your pathetic attempts to sound superior and better informed actually fool anyone except other egotistical assholes, trying to cover their leftism by inserting bullshit.

As far as your keyboard warriors complaint, you have played that card so many times it sounds like a broken record, but it's all you have, so you keep pretending that it's all you need.

If your infinitesimal points matched your enormous ego you would already know that pretentiousness doesn't equal substance.

The world is full of demanding, little, men, playing at pretending to be tough warriors of unquestionably useless opinions.

...and for the record, demanding a wager to 'prove' your intellectual bravery makes you sound like a sexually insecure seventh grader threatening smaller children for their lunch money.

If you can't decide if you're queer or straight, try therapy instead of false bravado.

I will neither support nor dispute your charges of Pete’s pretentiousness or egotism, nor do I know who is right in the matter of the proposed wager, but in the matter of bravery, I will assert that he backs up his intellectual position on at least one subject with action that in my opinion indeed requires courage.

Every time the media or a democrat uses the word "democracy", simply change it to "The State" and everything goes into sharp focus.

CNN: President Joe Biden commemorated January 6 as a day of American infamy, marking the third anniversary of the 2021 insurrection with a call for Americans to join him in defending The State from former President Donald Trump, who by comparison has promised to pardon the insurrectionists.

Biden:     This gathering has been on my mind for a long time for a simple reason: In the face of sustained and alarming challenges to The State, universal human rights, and — all around the world, The State needs champions.

I have never in my life understood why American Jews support Democrats.

I once asked Steingar that question and to the best of my recollection he said something like because the Jewish people feel strongly about taking care of those in need and that fits with the Democrat policies around safety nets for the poor, or compassion for those less fortunate or something along those lines.

That makes complete sense when you’re talking about sincere Democrats that actually are altruistic. But I don’t believe the Democrats in power (the likes of Biden, Pelosi, AOC, etc.) give two shits about people less fortunate. 

This is also the basis of leftist economic ideology (socialism, communism) where the more productive and more fortunate share and take care of the unfortunate.  This necessitates a system without private property rights.  This kind of system works well on the family and tribal level, and the Jewish people have considered themselves a closed “commune” if you will (such as not marrying outside their circle).

The trouble is, this kind of system doesn’t work at all at the nation state level, or for purposes of allocating resources between small groups or tribes.  For that you need trade, and for that you need private ownership of property and goods and a profit motive. The Jewish people are actually quite good at that, rising in the ranks of wealth in capitalist systems but retaining their compassionate idealism in how they vote.  This sounds hypocritical but it may be less hypocrisy than simply generational habit, much like blacks got stuck in multi-generational loops of voting Democrat.  They may feel they’re doing their part to take care of the poor by voting for leftist policies.

People who vote for leftist wealth redistribution policies come in two basic types: those who use a cloak of fake compassion to gain power for themselves, and those who actually believe policies such as welfare help people but are too stupid and/or uneducated to understand that in reality it has the opposite effect, or, are smart and educated but have certain blind spots. 

Jews on average (particularly the Ashkenazi) have higher intelligence than the U.S. average and so like all people with higher IQs fall prey to thinking they actually are more enlightened, and then they go to universities and get brainwashed with leftist ideology that has been taking over our universities since the 1950s.  Having a high IQ allows you to structure complex mental models of how the world “should” work, but doesn’t actually mean you are right and that they would in fact work in the real world.  All you have to do is be wrong about one of your basic premises and your entire theory falls apart. 

Leftists have one or more blind spots with their basic premises.  One of them is that the size of the economic pie is fixed.  Another is that what works on the family level can work at the nation state level. 

Yet another, and possibly the most insidious, is thinking that one’s action on a problem has only the effect you intend, when in reality your action changes the behavior of the subject and so can backfire and have the opposite effect you wanted. Providing safety nets from starvation lowers motivation to work and be productive, and ends up perpetuating and growing the problem rather than solving it.

Foreseeing unintended consequences is a talent few people possess, even those with high intelligence. Lawmakers miss the boat on that one in nearly everything they do.

   Smears.   Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth.   This is the media complex and their attempt to paint anything conservative as evil.

   The FJB regime is doing this with "MAGA".

Kind of like spending $25MM branding DeSantis as establishment.

Spin Zone / Some good election news

We worked hard on a campaign for Port Commissioner and our candidate just won! The Port runs the airport and was running it into the ground with woke, stupid decisions. They stopped helping host events at the airport to bring life to it. They balked at everything good in aviation.  They ran the Port into big debt. They fell for green energy grifting companies that later disappeared. They turned away a turbine repair company because it would be too noisy! Idiots and woke narcissists all, from the manager to two of the commissioners on the three-person board.

But a few years ago we also campaigned for that third commissioner and she won! But she kept pretty quiet until we could get our guy on there. Now we have an aviation majority!

We’re pretty thrilled. I bet the Port manager is getting her resume together. She’ll never survive with all that real energy and capability on the commission. The coolest thing is that the guy who just won tonight was the Port manager for 17 years and the current creeps forced him out. He retired, and now can visit karma on them all.

The IRS suspected a fishing boat owner wasn't paying proper wages to his deckhand and sent an agent to investigate him.

 

IRS AUDITOR: "I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them."

 

BOAT OWNER: "Well, there's Clarence, my deck hand, he's been with me for 3 years. I pay him $1,000 a week plus free room and board. Then there's the mentally challenged guy. He works about 18 hours every day and does about 90% of the work around here. He makes about $10 per week, pays his own room and board, and I buy him a bottle of Bacardi rum and a dozen beers every Saturday night so he can cope with life. He also gets to sleep with my wife occasionally."

 

IRS AUDITOR: "That's The guy I'm here to talk to, the mentally challenged one."

 

 

BOAT OWNER: "That would be me. What would you like to know?"

Spin Zone / No One Notices As Mitch McConnell Replaced By Cardboard Cutout

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In response to mounting criticism of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnel's fitness to serve, the Republican party has replaced McConnell with a far more lifelike cardboard cutout of the Kentucky senator, according to sources.

"This will provide us with much more functional leadership," said GOP Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel. "This cardboard cutout is a vast improvement, with its static depiction of Senator McConnell being far more lively and interactive than the real, human version. No one even noticed for over a week."

Serious questions have been raised over McConnell's competency after he suffered more than one public episode in which he fell alarmingly silent while speaking to the press. "Replacing him with a life-sized cardboard cutout will silence a lot of these critics," said a GOP insider. "While the transition will feel rather seamless during press conferences, we're expecting to get a lot more productivity and collaboration with the cardboard cutout behind the scenes."

When reached for comment, Senator McConnell responded, "................................"

Congressional Democrat leaders applauded the move while stating this would not present any change in their ability to move their legislative agenda forward. "Honestly, this cardboard cutout isn't much different than the real thing," said Senator Chuck Schumer. "We haven't skipped a beat passing our agenda with zero opposition from Republicans!"

At publishing time, a group of high-ranking government leaders were engaged in secret backroom meetings to discuss how much easier it may be to simply replace every member of Congress over the age of 65 with a cardboard cutout.

WAYNE ROOT: Tucker is Outing Obama as Gay. But Everyone is Missing the Big Story. I’m Obama’s College Classmate. I’ve Been Trying to Warn America for 15 Years!

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/09/wayne-root-tucker-is-outing-obama-as-gay/

But gay is not the issue. The issue here is fraud. If Obama is in fact gay, then he was lying to the American people from day one. He portrayed himself as a happily married family man with a wife and two beautiful young daughters. That’s called fraud.

Not necessarily. There's such a thing as bi. And if he's all gay then he's only doing what tons of gay people do. It's possible to be gay but want a wife and children to pass on your genes. Gay people sometimes want to reproduce just like anyone else, and doing it this way is better than two gay men using a surrogate to pass on their genes and then raising the kid without a mother. As long as you're honest with your wife and don't cheat on her while you're married, I see nothing wrong with it. It's possible he isn't "portraying" himself as a happily married family man, but actually IS a happily married family man even if he is gay.

That you don't want to talk about it publicly is totally understandable, as the article points out, he would have had no political career at all if he'd done that. Back in the last century there was still discrimination against gays in other careers too. So I don't fault gays of older generations for "lying" (pretending to be straight). It's just what you did back then.

Although I completely agree with the disastrous results of his influence on the country. And I have a HUGE beef with the fact that I still think he may have been born in Kenya.  THAT is a problem, and real fraud on a constitutional level.
