In the business world, a regular topic of conversation is the cost-benefit analysis to solving business problems. It is easy to see that you don’t solve a fifty dollar problem with a million dollar solution, but most problems are not so simple. Figuring out the real cost of the problem is not so easy and then imagining the solution adds a whole new layer of complexity. One of the ironies of problem solving is figuring out the cause of the problem can cost more than the problem itself.
Watching the election shenanigans roll on, it seems that the ruling class may have created an expensive problem while trying to solve the Trump problem. The wholesale election fraud has created a very expensive problem for them. They cannot sit back and let Trump’s lawyers find examples of fraud or use those examples to overturn one of the disputed states, as that creates a big problem for them. Joe Biden becomes the Pretender Biden for most of the country.
On the other hand, the only way to prevent any of this is to double down on the shenanigans in all of these states. That means threatening judges, lawyers and election officials. It means more midnight capers to alter the rules and results. In other words, the way to prevent Trump from establishing his claims is to prove another set of claims. They will convince a large number of people that the whole system is rigged and controlled by thugs and crooks.
This is a managerial class feature. A group of experts identify a problem, real or imagined, then set about solving it. In the process, they create a whole new set of problems that require a new set of experts to solve. That new set of experts are conveniently the proteges of the first set of experts. This cycle has rolled through the culture since the middle of the last century. It now appears to be consuming the system that makes the managerial class possible.
It is remarkable, when you think back over the last five years. They could have easily co-opted Trump, by cutting some deals with him. He would have put the MAGA stamp of approval on things like DACA, higher immigration levels and big new administrative initiatives, in exchange for some trinkets like the wall project. Instead, they cut off their nose to spite their face. It is insane and suggests that maybe they are the victims of the same process that has consumed the Trump movement.

These people are definitely insane. Look at this, they’re shutting down Adelaide in Australia because of a 34 “cases” ofcovid. They are calling the strain “particularly nasty” because its really hard to identify because people don’t have symptoms. WTF
https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/526677-australian-state-bans-outdoor-exercise-dog-walking
There have been leaked documents, and this is getting very serious indeed. They are trying to pull some next level shit on us.
Yes. This is Trotskyist dream of slave society. As much we fight, corona is not going away, so sooner or later entire economy is bankrupt and we all are unemployed. But somehow we must keep things running. So Government creates a huge corona free camps. There are harsh conditions because of isolation. You must wear mask and can`t communicate with others. In the morning special corona free transport brings people to corona free workplace and in the evening back to the camp. To avoid corona spreading, you can not have personal items, camp will supply you with all necessary. Also… Read more »
Yep, the aussies are leading the charge to pantywaste faggotism. Unbelievable.
Have you ever been to Australia? It isn’t unbelievable at all. Forget the media images. These are for the most part the most cucked people on the planet.
Myth’s aside Australia was always the closes thing on earth to a space colony in that it was never really self sufficient and did not organically develop. Instead, from the beginning it was a colony entirely dependent on the mother country. It started as literal prison for christ sake.
That general dependency continued even as it became economically viable. It’s always been an urbanized colonial enclave in a foreign land.
Australian women seem pretty decent. Haven’t dated any, but did work with a couple of them.
One of my daughters has a friend down in Australia. The girl seems to be mostly dependent on the state and nobody seems to think it is unusual. She lives like a child — no particular responsibilities, needs met through no effort of her own, enough money from somewhere to go out and have some fun occasionally. I think that’s the way they want us.
Very common.
They have a sketchy “workfare” program where no one goes to work. It is UBI, more or less, with a phantom job attached to it. This is coming here fast, too, if things don’t implode beforehand.
Nope and not looking like I’ll get there anytime soon. I guess I was thinking more along the line of the “diggers” from the WW1 era. Obviously they’ve wimpified like everyone else over the last several generations – maybe more.
The most dramatic change occurred after the Port Arthur shooting was used as a pretext for door-to-door gun confiscation. It got quite nasty at times and the propaganda outlets there had a total blackout on what was going on although word got out.
Gun ownership was quite common prior to the mid-Nineties. After those confiscations, it is near zero outside of places here and there. The people became utterly cowed and submission in short order. It is among the reasons the Covid compliance here has bothered me so much.
Crocodile Dundee was just a movie, mate.
Blimey!
Canadians give them a good run for their money. And yet, there is a huge urban-rural divide here, our cities are full of Karens wrecking themselves to stop the China flu – in the rural areas things are hopping, churches are full, boomers are packing restaurants.
But the level of cucking from white urbans is unbelievable. Our diversity is almost saving us from covid lunacy, the paper Canadians are completely ignoring any rules and badwhites are following along.
Soon it’ll just be a Chinese province anyway. Maybe they’ll use it as, wait for it… a prison colony.
Dunno, the kiwi’s version seems worse to me as it is repleat with a bony childless unmarried middle aged Karen (Jacinda) larping as a Mother Teresa with her own personal police enforcers.
I know some Kiwis. It’s literally a country of Karens and woke White guys. It’s bizarre.
At the moment, the whole country is the equivalent of a gated community, which, of course, is why the silliness can flourish. But they seem intent on following the rest of Western world down the toilet by opening the immigrant fire hose, though they likely will import an over class (Chinese and Indians) than an underclass, so there’s that.
To think, some colleagues of mine think that they will ‘escape’ to Australia. Quite frankly, these days you may have a better chance of a new life if you had been a transported convict on the First Fleet back in 1788.
They’ve gone nuts. One can only hope the ‘bogan’ settlements in the interior don’t get infected with the poz. We ought not to be surprised: most people in the cities love the poz with all their hearts. Rural community, Urban evacuation is a must for those sane folk who can.
Keep this in mind when someone here again mentions the best country to bug out to. There is no escape, stay and fight.
The Unblinking Eye of Globohomo
Russia and Eastern Europe, at the last ditch. The Anglosphere is totally toast.
People ask why we’re staying put in The Chicongo. I don’t say it outloud very often, but it’s a target-rich environment here. Target effing rich. You rural folks will just end up shooting squirrels.
The Northern Territories have resisted incorporation into the Australian federal system for this very reason. They largely have been successful but their numbers are few.
In contrast to the media images, Oz is one of the most urbanized countries on the planet.
I know how Britain is, but Australia is infinitely worse. Part of it is that the country is so highly urbanized. Everything people in the States and the UK know think they know about Australia comes from pop culture and it is wrong.
15 days to flatten the curve.
In that spirit may I suggest zmans next movie review be, It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.
I just watched invasion o the body snatchers for the first. Besides my disbelief in the success of the strange looking goofy D Suthernland, it is like what we are living!
particularly nasty? Wait, its either covid, or not.
A Coronavirus is simply a cold that happens every season. Covid 19 was literally just a bad cold strain. A vaccine will probably only solve a particular strain and be useless for the rest going forward.
There is no feasible end-game to this mess because everyone is insane.
This is exactly the problem. The media and politicians have spent a whole year destroying the global economy, hyping the arrival of Vaccine Jesus, and yet – next year there’ll be another one, and another one…
I found this whole panic very alarming from the beginning because I realized that there was no feasible way for the ruling class to walk the whole thing back. They now must drag the increasingly massive ball and chain of Covid with them everywhere.
We should offer them a ride – to the pier.
Great. Hyperventilating Americans will then become deluged with having to know all about the different “strains.” Karens will evolve into experts of the latest info on shades of boogeyman to further imperiously scold us.
September 10, 2001 most Americans couldn’t point to a single Middle Eastern country on a map with confidence. Words like jihad, Sunni, Shia, Wahhabi, etc are recognizable terms for the average person now.
Like Covidese, these are terms that should never have entered our lexicon. Globohomo has much to answer for, and when a reckoning occurs I hope it involves red hot tongs.
It’s insidious because it’s asymptomatic. We can’t know how many innocents are now afflicted with this horrific version of this disease without any symptoms whatsoever.
I suspect many have died without realizing it…
They’ve only died from the neck up.
It’s a lot like the homelessness problem as portrayed in South Park. Soon you won’t be able to know who has Covid and who doesn’t.
The most depressing thing in that article is the comments. So many Covidiots.
Twitter is even worse.
It’s infinite Corona-Karens chanting:
“You just want to kill grandma, selfish pig!”
“Lockdowns are saving lives, selfish pig!”
For the first time in their lives, they have a purpose and feel they have a meaningful existence.
At work it’s become a competition – the more sacrifice you make to “stop COVID” the more virtuous you are.
New age religion shit, personally I much prefer the Bible to the Covidian religion!
And conversely, a pozzitive test in their household is a scarlet letter. Oh the shame! They must have failed to mask hard enough, to distance far enough, so you need to do more. 6’ is not enough! The testing protocols with baked in pozzes coupled with cold and flu season is driving them deeper into the cult. “But I was doing everything they told me to do…” they lament. And indeed they have been pious to the covidian way of life, walking the dog alone with mask avoiding even other dogs and squirrels. Never does it occur to them that… Read more »
I doubt that lasts long. If someone in their house gets it, it was probably because some deplorable didn’t wear a mask around them or got within 5’8″. Blaming other people is what leftists do.
Indeed. And rather than being a mark of shame, contracting Kovid is a symbol of victimhood, which they prize above all else.
Yes, it gives them an extra high horse upon which to lecture the rest of us, for our own good.
Exactly. I’ve heard multiple interviews over the months wrt COVID-19 deaths within families. Always they end with, “If only others wore ‘the mask’…”. Never any mention of the “victims” behavior—not that I’m blaming the the unfortunate soul who perished—only that it seems odd. Every COVID case I directly had contact with, or direct knowledge of, has had a vector that they’ve welcomed into the victim’s presence. For example, the last one a couple weeks ago was a grandson visiting grandma (90 y/o) in grandma’s home—when he was running a fever! No mask obviously, but also obviously a very stupid behavior… Read more »
Exactly. Vizz. Their shame quickly converts to anger. They did everything right but “some people!” refuse to follow the rules, wear a mask, etc. they are, after all, the goodwhites. Its all too convenient that the kkkovid kompliance delineation tracks the goodwhite-deplorable divide. Thus more rules, more punishments for the deplorables. Their suffering is worth it if it means we suffer more. They are noble, selfless victims, we are ignorant, selfish oppressors. Their leftist world is still ordered accordingly. Which is really what matters most.
“If only others had worn the mask.” Right. 99.6% of the population has been wearing these idiotic Karen Kloths, not to mention social distancing and sanitizing their skins off, 24/7 since March, and the fault lies with the .4% who exhibit common sense. What is bloody well clear to any reasonable person is that all of these measures don’t accomplish dicksquat except to further transform the masses into mindless livestock.
I suggest responding with the rapidly increasing suicide and declining mental health statistics for children across the western world. Shove those down these harpies throats with a bit of their favorite mantra, “What about the children… they are our most precious resource you hag.”
Covidiots is good.
Not original to me.
This piece is yet more evidence of what a farce the whole thing is.
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/south-australia-bans-exercise-dog-walking-during-6-day-circuit-breaker-lockdown
“circuit breaker”. I find it especially infuriating the way they have corrupted the language by co-opting legitimate technical terms into their sick religious cult.
Yep, language corruption is common. It lends a credibility undeserved.
Um, have you not been paying attention to the climate science movement of the last 20 years? Climate science, that can’t predict a single hurricane or produce an honest model but is chock full of sciency sounding terminology. Oh, and we are informed it is “settled science” to boot.
Invisible Kovid. The epidemiological analogue of systemic racism.
science-denialist ideas about “racial justice”…

Weren’t these falsely linked to a fake pizza joint? I saw something on Drudge about that this morning.
The Kraken is a massive sting operation. Digital black hat hired guns infiltrated cyber space and are now taking down targets. Its over.
please share details.
When I hear about the “Kraken” being released, I automatically think of an old saying:
If you suspect cheating is going on and you can’t determine who the mark is…. you are the mark.
I truly hope I am mistaken.
i try not to think about any of it right now. all this talk of secret stings and so forth is safely ignored. catching people cheating in real time, and shooting them down on the spot would have worked better.
Aluminum foil or tin foil model?
[…] Read it. And listen to the podcast. […]
That paper’s title sounds very high brow… but when I see it I just imagine getting scammed that little bit harder in future.
I am only a few minutes into the podcast and that first segment on taking over the master’s house is a chilling reminder of what “health care” is going to be like in about five years. Holy crap.
Words to the wise Z-Man readers: unless you can’t stop the bleeding DO NOT GO TO A HOSPITAL.
Voltaire said it best, “Dr.’s are here to keep the patient entertained until they recover on their own or the Dr. kills them.”
Admittedly, in Voltaire’s time this may well have been sage advice.
But yes, I take your point, medicine as practiced by the current crop is most probably on a decline – if for no other reason than the fact that there are simply too many people now, at least over here anyway.
Last June my brother received a call from the doctor about my 90 yo mother. She had dangerously low red blood cell count and needed to go the the hospital immediately. So he immediately hustled her off to the hospital because he trusts the medical system. Where she was isolated because of Covid restrictions. They decided to do some exploratory scope procedure which necessitated ending the blood thinners that she had been on for 15 years. Which “unexpectedly” led to a major stroke that left her paralyzed. Following that they decided that the low red blood count that had required… Read more »
Sorry for your loss. Similar pattern for my late dad except in his instance a cascading chain of proved medical errors. State has a 250k cap on awards and after the lawyers got their cuts my stepmother received enough to subsist on for a few months while the medical industry still muddles along.
no kidding. I have already been denied dental care and access to a primary care facility because of my refusal to wear masks.
Do we have to test to go see a dentist or doctor?
If the test is positive, do we have to quarantine for 14 days and re-test, despite the level of pain or bleeding?
Once, I was grandfathered into the care of a female orc PCP.
Don’t let it happen to you.
It’s a brutal thing to say but – anything taken over by women goes to complete shit. Most people know they’ve taken over the medical profession in recent years but a lesser known issue is that many are being guided into fields like epidemiology and “bio-informatics”. Whenever you hear an “expert” predicting that 6 gorillion people are going to die in your town of 10,000 next month chances are it’s a young chick who’s sorta-kinda good at math but is really good at making scary looking graphs on the computer.
The still sputtering struggle over the contested election, as Z notes, offers up continuing and even more dramatic proof that The Swamp will stop at nothing to get their way. Their frauds, trickery and deceptions are now so obvious that all but the Woke true believers cannot but see the rampant corruption of the system. I don’t know whether or not they will prevail. But the current crop of shenanigans will only further polarize the opposing factions, to cement the divide between Red and Blue, and will only accelerate whatever discord or worse that may lie our country’s future.
Dunning-Kruger for the win. They remind me of nothing so much as professional academics, who consider themselves brilliant but whose ignorance of common life is so vast, it’s terrifying… and hilarious. One of my favorite grad school moments was listening to some very very very big name scholar lady going off on the military. Oh, she had grand plans, this armchair general. I couldn’t help bursting into laughter. When the pissed off broads in the room demanded to know what I found so funny, all I could say is “logistics.” None of them had any idea what that meant. Ladies… Read more »
What were here plans, if you don’t mind me asking?
Did these women claim that your answer was misogynistic? Or that it was full of toxic masculinity? Anyway, good on you for saying it, I’d imagine it would have been immensely satisfying!
I forget the details, but it was something to do with the role of women in the new Soviet Union. The Bolsheviks, of course, were all about “empowering” women (at least until the Bolshies secured power, after which Stalin told them to get back in the kitchen via a pimp hand that would make Iceberg Slim jealous, but that’s a tale for another day). So, you know, pretty much anything to do with military operations in Russia. They couldn’t claim my answer was misogynistic, because they had no idea what I was talking about. What could the difficulties of moving… Read more »
“…all I could say is “logistics.” Well, there are those times. But there are other times as well, and sometimes they are both scary and depressing. Back around 15-20 years ago, there was great discussion among the CS folk wrt computerized “voting”. We had those very folk who are now in academe and recognized as experts come and present seminars on the topic. At that time, they were all *against* such voting methods without some serious precautions. The pratfalls were numerous *and* predictable—even then. To make a long story short, everything they said would come to pass has come to… Read more »
So what’s the take on Tucker not buying the fraud claims?
Traitor or dissident?
Neither. Team Trump claims they have loads of evidence of widespread fraud. He is offering them the biggest platform on cable TV to present it to the public.
It is very close to time to shit or get off the pot.
Agreed. And I’m actually surprised someone as intelligent as Zman has bought into the “wholesale fraud” narrative.
It’s basically the Russiagate of the DR.
Did I imagine 5 swing states where Trump had a commanding lead simultaneously shut down counting only to open up in the middle of the night to reveal the Cryptkeeper in the lead? Reality is getting harder to discern these days, I admit, but I do have a distinct memory of that peculiar unprecedented incident taking place.
So when they stopped counting together, then ‘found’ – Al Franken style, a mountain of ‘Biden votes’ in the wee hours …. nada? No suspicions raised on your part?
As long as you want to question the intelligence of the host here — I ask: are you fucking brain dead?
It seams to me that multiple things are all true: 1) There was widespread coordinated fraud to select Biden. 2) Trumps lawyers sense that fraud and have some discoordinated evidence of it. 3) Trumps lawyers do not want to reveal exactly what they have because doing so will sour their legal case in court and allow the fraudsters to engage in countermeasures to prevent more evidence from emerging. 4) The legal case is actually very weak because of the intricacies of court proceedings around standing, evidenciary admissability and available relief. 5) Tucker is being a whiny bitch more interested in… Read more »
Possibly, but the argument to the public is not what will change the results of the election. It’s the Courts that count. To release specifics which might identify witnesses and evidence is to give the opposition time to cover their tracks and “cancel” those witnesses. Tucker should know this. The rest of the media simply is working to extract opposition research.
What would be a good, clear piece of evidence?
One of the ballots with a perfect, laser-printed circle for Biden?
It would be very time consuming to drive around Atlanta, Milwaukee, Detroit and Philadelphia finding every Shauntaveous and Shaniqua who cast ballots in this election for the first time in their lives and ask them to sign an affidavit that they never completed or returned their mail in ballots for the 2020 election. There is also the chance many of them would lie.
“It would be very time consuming…”
— to fight World War II
— to find a better plan than bury my children in college loan debt
— to give a shit
I’m told all the Biden ballots have perfect circles of tape exactly 6 feet apart.
This. Put up or shut up. And don’t tell me to trust the fucking plan either.
The one defining feature of the Trump presidency has been that everything was ABOUT to happen…but never did. Whether it’s Hillary getting locked up, emails, the Durham report, the troop withdrawals etc.
It’s like Trump left us with blue balls.
Energy independence — you credit Obama?
I just paid $1.74.9 for Regular to fill up my truck. I filled my 500 gallon tank of home heating oil, lowest price in years, has been ongoing.
Se we are to what, credit Obama? Maybe credit Biden? He said he ‘saved the auto industry…’ after all.
Enerty independence didn’t happen with Bush ‘the oil man’. Nor Obama. And it did happen. Maybe your blue balls are simply because you have bad breath.
Beautiful evidence. Perfect evidence. Evidence like nobody has ever seen before. Phenomenal evidence. Phenomenal. We are building a case. A big beautiful case. And you know what? The Democrats are gonna pay for it. We are building it right now. Its beautiful. And its big. Really really big. Bigger than any case ever before. Its gonna come out. And its gonna be big. And you will say thats not possible! But I’m telling you, we have so much evidence. Like everywhere. Just laying around. And we are picking that evidence up and building a case. Its big. Beautiful. Shocking really.… Read more »
From another blog: Maria Bartiromo: How did you respond to Tucker Carlson? Did you get angry with the show because they texted you and asked you to provide evidence of what you’re alleging?Sidney Powell: No, I didn’t get angry with the request to provide evidence in fact I sent an affidavit to Tucker that I had not even attached to a pleading yet to help him understand the situation and I offered him another witness who could explain the mathematics of the statistical evidence far better than I can. I’m not really a numbers person. But he was very insulting,… Read more »
To be fair, this is litigation. You don’t tip your hand until you have to. Fuck the press, including Tucker – why does he want them to tip their hands early? Read the court transcript like everybody else prick. On top of that, in particular with a situation as explosive as this, judges hate “trying a case in the media” which is exactly what Tucker is tempting them to do. It would be the perfect reason for a Court to dismiss a lot of things. With the establishment already against them, they cannot make any faux pas. The process is… Read more »
Exactly. Joe Normie that has never been in a courtroom nor directed a legal team has no clue. Let your opponents issue press releases. Your people grind them up with evidence, motions and arguing in open court. Nothing else matters.
This focus on Rudy’s hair, or sweat is just a replay of how the general public was conned by the made for TV Kennedy-Nixon debate. Read THAT transcript. It was all about Nixon’s appearance.
Before there was uninformed Joe Normie there was the sheep-like General Public.
It is not just litigation. It is a PR battle as well.
It is, but you are asking them to make the fatal mistake of all non-lawyers (and even some lawyers) who get their legal education from Perry Mason re-runs: trying to get the other side’s witness to win the case for them. The media (including Tucker) is not their friend – it is the other side. The media belongs to the enemy. The only thing you can do with the enemy is discredit/sow doubt about them which Trump has already done. Why give them time to run a propaganda campaign against the evidence before it is even submitted? Save the evidence… Read more »
Well said. Using my own experience in Federal Court proceedings again, and having seen what six figures in preparation buys — inches thick — for a plaintiff that gets the jump. The idea that dealing with this kind of thing is, as the Ellis lady lawyer put it, ‘not an episode of Law and Order…’ The sad fact is most here, the public are ill informed, bordering on dumb. Tring to explain things to such stupid people as are in our midst, even on ‘our side’ is a fool errand. Back to case experience. These things take a LOT of… Read more »
Tucker called it straight. That press conference was a shit show. Horrible optics, and thin gruel backing sweeping allegations.
Not that it isn’t all true, but once ballots are counted they are difficult to un-count. Circumstantial evidence, even statistical evidence, is not enough when all the institutions are lined up against you.
The truth is, Tucker was never a big fan of Trump. He was a big fan of trumps agenda, at least the one he ran on in 2016.
Lin Wood claimed a few days ago that Trump won with 70% of the true vote and should have won over 400 electoral votes. The biggest blowouts of the 20th Century came in around 60%. These people are self discrediting so badly you wonder if they have been put up to it. I hope he doesn’t do this in Kyle Rittenhouse’s defense.
Lin Wood and Sidney Powell seem extremely confident. What I keep thinking is why would they put their reputations at risk if they had nothing? They’ll be heroes in the history books if they can beat them.
These are not newbie nobody lawyers. Making claims like that, and coming up empty (in the sense you have no evidence, not in the sense of a Court ruling against you – courts are just as crooked as any other politician) is not the type of risk they would take, unless they intend this to be the swan song of their (and their firms’) careers.
Disbarred, imprisoned and pauperized. I try federal civil cases and can assure you these thoughts are in the back of my mind when I am up there. Which makes me wonder what Giuliani was thinking during the presser while his hair was leaking.
Tucker believes he has more “power” than he does. He is meaningless in any attempt to change the election results and he can’t seem to accept that. I also suspect he seems to think he’s being slighted. It’s the Courts that count, Tucker and 10 more like him can’t do shit.
Simple:
Tucker wants to lead the “nationalist-populist” “movement” with an expanded fox news show and maybe run in 2024.
Once trump is out of the way he feels he can play a leading role.
He’s wrong, of course, but that’s where he’s coming from.
He just revealed himself as a bowtie nerd, with that girly giggle. He isn’t “leading” anything.
3-2-1 he is about to roll over to protect his paycheck. You, sir, and yours are somewhere far, far down the food chain from his paycheck.
Your Tucker scenario would not surprise me. We also see such a misunderstanding with other supposed “Conservative” pundits attempting to put to bed this election and move on to the “great turnaround of 2024”—where conservative values will once again prevail over an awakened public.
paid stooge. always has been.
I am getting emails from a group I belonged to who meet for a recreational activity. We usually meet in the early summer/late spring. Now, because of the plague, they want to meet in July. Understand, thats 9 months away. a year and a half from the start of Covid mania. They all insist, on this email chain, of wearing masks, presenting testing proof, and even eating out doors and keeping the windows open for our activity (central atlantic state in july!).

These are many DC area STEM people in this crowd. NIH, micro biologists, chemists, engineers. All the people I know most easily hoodwinked by The Greatest Chinese Virus are from similar ‘educated’ professions. The biggest mistake we can make is assuming that anyone in these professions is immune to propaganda. They aren’t. Like most edu-ma-cated folks, they are cowardly. They don’t need to be leaned on too hard to toe the line; they will be frowned upon by their well heeled friends otherwise. Most working men I know called rubbish on this months back.

Hear, hear. We have arrived at a place where its purported elite blindly obey and either outright believe ridiculous propaganda or pretend to do so. It is the hallmark of all totalitarian systems.
Not a lot of Bravehearts among these types.
that’s what i was thinking.
As they say in STEM, the fundamental forces of the universe are Gravity, Electromagnetism, Weak Force, Strong Force and Funding. And the greatest of these is Funding.
Spoken as a stem/legal hybrid myself, we learned to live with tunnel vision insofar as what was required to attain our pedigree compelled exclusion of the aspects of life deigned unnecessary, such as news outside our professional domains. Politics got thrown overboard and we simply adopted the political perspective of our mentors and peers for convenence rather than taking precious time to think through positions and engage. For many, it’s just easier to stay the course.
I know lots of medical people. They all know it’s bullshit. And yet, they do it anyway. STEM = nerds and nerds = the worst kind of wannabe conformists. Mask mandates are their chance — finally!!! — to be in the in crowd, so they’re jumping on it with both feet.
Those furry costumes get so hot, I hear!
Made me spit my coffee out. The joke was good, the coffee crap, so it’s a win-win.
Good one.
You could have just written, “incompetents.”
They could have easily co-opted Trump, by cutting some deals with him. As you may have seen here in my comments and in pieces I have written elsewhere, this is what perplexes me most. Why didn’t they co-opt Trump? It would have made the movement he spawned so much less potent. He could have been easily manipulated but, nah bro, they made a really bad enemy in him. Perhaps they were afraid Trump would discover things he apparently never found out or revealed. Maybe it wasn’t a rational reason at all. Simple hubris, moral panic, or some other deranged motive… Read more »
I think the reason they didn’t co-opt Trump is part of the reason the Never Trump issue of National Review was written. They truly hate both him and us. They think he is vulgar and doesn’t share their tastes. It was also embarrassing to them the way we rejected the establishment choices in 2016 and they were angry at the way Rubio and Jeb got humiliated. They want to crush us so it never happens again. They aren’t forward thinking enough to see what problems will develop from these choices.
They’re on the cusp of permanent control due to demographics anyways. Trump is pretty clueless, he wants to expand H1-B and legalize the DACA aliens.
If I were running the Dems I would just lay low and take the L for 8 years, prevent any structural changes, and then with a little fraud beat whatever loser the GOP runs in 2024.
But then again I’m smart enough to know that you don’t get Hispanic support by calling them Latinx Peoplx. The people running the Dems are stupid – but very powerful and dangerous.
Others have stated Biden/Harris may be the, “Dead Zone,” administration.
Can you elaborate on the dead zone?
“The missiles are flying… Hallelujah!”

Who is the Martin Sheen character?
Who is the Christopher Walken character?
Hatred, like love, will make you do things without exterior motivation. It will even make you bear great costs to either help or harm the object. We are completely beyond politics, here. We aren’t voting our way out of this, neither are we going to be able to retreat and regroup – the orcs will follow you to Helm’s Deep, frens. We are living in a revolutionary moment which, like the revolutionary movements of the 20th century, are driven by hatreds because they are the same. Instead of Washington, we have trump, which should give you an idea of just… Read more »
Is anyone else finding themselves more or less indifferent to all this election stuff? Like, I haven’t been paying attention to it at all. I’m just numb to it. It all reeks of 4D chess, Qtards and other trust-the-plan types. The Four Seasons Landscaping debacle was cringe-inducing. I’m not holding my breath for a second. Downvote away, but I’m just being honest. Tucker apparently called out Powell for a crumb of evidence the other night and was rebuked. I’m beginning to understand why normies just want to chill and grill. It’s exhausting. Perhaps that’s the intent.
No.
I’m starting to get this awful feeling this is all just the greatest kayfabe of all-time.
A worked shoot, if you will.
Yep. I don’t have a dog in the fight because I live in Commiefornia and Trump never lifted a finger against Sacramento’s open sedition against him when he had the chance. There is no escaping what’s coming.
I want Biden to lose because he cheated, but that doesn’t give me any happy illusions about Mister Make Israel Great Again either.
Maybe $10.00 gasoline and heating oil will perk you up.
My general fear as well, however such affects most everyone else as well, Dem supporters and Rep supporters. So that’s a countervailing point.
we don’t use heating oil here. my furnace went out last year and i went all winter without it 🙂 but that was an unusually mild winter…
I saw the Tucker broadcast you reference and it seems apparent to me Carlson is under pressure to roll over. Just look how blatant it is at Fox already. With multiple federal cases under my belt that dragged on 1+ years, I understand your mental fatigue. I also understand that there are far stronger people, have hired them, worked with them to prevail in the cases I dealt with in my business life. Usually I had to make judgement calls about who the weaklings were as they cannot be counted on under pressure. You really are better off being honest,… Read more »
As soon as the counts were stopped, I stopped paying attention, thinking something like: *Ah, 1960. I read about this.* The big elections since then have been nearly legitimate, or at least looked that way. But traditionally they’re fake, and why pretend? Nobody can stop it. Even explaining what happened seems impossible now that we’ve been made stupid. Numerical arguments confuse even the people making them, the law is unknown even to judges, and speaking narratively—sharing a “conspiracy theory”—is forbidden. When I was a little kid we learned in school that Edgar Allan Poe’s death was an election-fraud-related mystery. Interesting… Read more »
“Ah, 1960. I read about this…”
This puts you ahead of 99% of the talking heads as they are coming at this as if Trump’s team is trying to prove something that never, ever, ever happened before. Instead of just a better run Joe Kennedy, Lydon Johnson election theft.
Really, it’s all based on the lowest common denominator of the audience as being around a 2nd grade level. Maybe not that high.
Lmaooooo I was laughing too hard during the xirl science paper.
But notice, most of the authors are hindu and “south asian”.
Laughs aside, we are fucked, nobody hates you more than “brown people” and they’re our future doctors.
I used to bomb comments at Reason until the great exodus 4 years ago. I don’t even bother peeking in there any more. About that time, they lost a lot of their contributors and sold out to the Koch’s.
they don’t think rationally that’s the problem,,like the little kid who spends an hour weaseling out of doing his homework when if he’d sat down and done it, it would have taken 10 minutes, they just have the con mans brain,,
I’m going to submit this to the Atlanta poetry slam (and probably win):
The Mona Lisa’s ugly
Western ways’ll bug me
I ain’t being colonized
You got times tables memorized?
Equations are white
The forest gives me fright
The wheel is overrated
My hair demands you praise it
My politics’ll freak ya
Vote President Shaniqua
Emancipation
Demonstration
Reparation
Gyration
COP SAYS HANDS UP!
(Drops mic)
Very good, but the meter and the rhymes make it too close to actual poetry to pass as authentic.
I think that Z has missed a paradigm shift. Covering up the fraud to maintain the respectability of the system was the old paradigm – which required a lot of leg work, created unintended consequences and risked exposure. The new paradigm is just denying reality. It requires tight coordination of media and a high degree of gullibility for a large percentage of the general public. Both of which exist in America today. So the Dems flat out steal the election in a ham handed way and then their media jesters waiver their hands and say there’s nothing to see here,… Read more »
I was having thoughts along these lines last night.
The American public is now so degenerate even proof of massive fraud won’t matter.
This is why the laptop never got much traction. People just don’t care anymore because the Overton window had already been shifted so much by Clinton and Weinstein
At some level I don’t know why people on the left even bother to deny the fraud.
If you thought your opponent was literally Hitler – which a lot of the useful idiots actually believe about Trump. Wouldn’t you be proud of getting rid of him with fraud, non violently?
“The American public is now so degenerate even proof of massive fraud won’t matter.”
This. You nailed it. All the legal arguments in the world won’t matter when the deck is already stacked from the courts through the media to the public.
I think most of the public does not care. Apathetic. They will be made to care, just wait.
Covid and the 2020 election proved the rule: you can fool some of the people ALL of the time.
Unfortunately, “some” of the people works out to tens of millions of American residents.
When ignoring the obvious fraud is part and parcel of “their side” regaining an additional measure of political power, there really is nothing to discuss or negotiate.
Our political system was built on the quaint notions of truth and honesty having relevance in the political negotiation process. Sorry, suckers…
I think our ability to solve problems is declining. Edward Dutton thinks that we are in a period of decline in intelligence that has been going on for about 200 years — since harsh evolutionary pressures eased with modern technology, accelarating in the last century. Not only can’t we solve new problems, we can’t even maintain what we have. https://www.technologyreview.com/2020/11/19/1012335/the-second-largest-radio-telescope-in-the-world-is-shutting-down/ The failure of that telescope was a failure of proper foresight, planning and maintenance. I worry that one day a 100-200 years from now, my descendants will be looking back on the days when we had radio observatories and global… Read more »
So the Arecibo engineers basically doubled the load on a support cable and tower with no defined timeline and plan to shore it up or restore the second cable?
Then they were surprised when the cable snapped?
Looks like I get to use the word incompetent twice in one day.
Article written by, “Neel Patel.”
Of course, if they were at all forward-thinking, there would have been studies of the MTBF of those cables and plans for replacing them well before that, plus emergency plans for quick replacement if a cable broke ahead of schedule, because that sort of planning ahead is, obviously, less expensive than the utter destruction of one of the world’s largest radio telescopes. It’s the same sort of planning our more “primitive” ancestors understood and detailed in the fable of the ants and the grasshopper. If you don’t prepare for winter, you’re going to suffer and it’s going to be nobody’s… Read more »
Reminds one of that bridge structure collapse in Florida a couple years or so ago.
The city view from “Idiocracy”, with the office towers being held up with giant rubber bands, comes to mind.
Ayn Rand’s novel, “Anthem”, in a nut shell. Short, easy one night read.
Yeah, I’ve read it. One of my favorites of hers. I was led to it like a lot of young men of my age by Rush, 2112. Heh, from Wikipedia entry on the album: Side one of the album is occupied by the 20-minute futuristic science fiction song “2112“. The seven-part track is based on a story by Peart, the band’s primary lyricist, who credits “the genius of Ayn Rand” in the album’s liner notes. Rand, a Russian-born, Jewish-American novelist, and inventor of the philosophy of Objectivism, wrote the 1937 dystopian fictional novella Anthem, the plot of which bears several similarities to 2112, and… Read more »
ironic, because Ayn liked it long and hard 😛
Nothing new here, this one is my favorite from long ago…
Dark and lonely on the summer night.
Kill my landlord, kill my landlord.
Watchdog barking – Do he bite?
Kill my landlord, kill my landlord.
Slip in his window,
Break his neck!
Then his house
I start to wreck!
Got no reason —
What the heck!
Kill my landlord, kill my landlord.
C-I-L-L …
My land – lord …
Def!
The non-whites like Zubiha Haque really do hate us, and they make it easy for us to hate them. I’ve wondered why. But the Joe Sobran quote comes to mind. The simple existence of white people reminds them of their own inferiority – especially a white family, or white people having fun. The only way to fix this is to get rid of us.
My response is to just be super attractive and happy.
We can learn from these people though – learn from their tribalism, whites could use a little more primitive-ness.
But at this point they’re basically asking us to kick them out, it’s just like a woman asking to be slapped. Genetically we are just not supposed to live together, deep down in their collective psyche they know something is wrong too. Plus, the average westerner is miserable and pozzed these days and browns / arabs are no exception.
just read about Bopal and smile
“They could have easily co-opted Trump, by cutting some deals with him.”
As Jim at Jim’s Blog repeatedly points out, the Left is not “agreement capable”. They’re in a leftway spinning holiness spiral.

They being such ingrates is just proof that diversity is not a strength. They are not comfortable in our societies and they want to make our societies more like their societies while keeping all the good parts of our society, which is impossible. They think our societies are a product of geography and simultaneously believe we stole our society from them. These things are embedded in the way they talk about it. They say things like we were just lucky to be born in the particular time and place that we were born and that they were the unfortunate recipients… Read more »
the military should step in and do their duty to protect the constitution. if they let this election get stolen, then no reason to keep funding them. or letting your kids sign up.
