and, Nothing Will Happen...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Someone Had A Rough Night.... *Cracks a bloodshot eye open in the morning , what happened last night?*

 

 

 

 

 

 

HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- Pennsylvania House Democratic leaders say that State Representative Kevin Boyle is "seeking help" after a recent social media video apparently showed him intoxicated at a bar.

He is reportedly heard threatening to use his position to close the establishment and refusing to leave.

It's still unclear when exactly this happened, but Pennsylvania House Democratic leaders released this statement Friday night:

"We are aware of a video circulating on social media. It is very troubling. Rep. Boyle has been open about his personal challenges. We are encouraged that our colleague and dear friend is seeking help. Our commitment to delivering mental health services does not stop at the Capitol Steps. One of the main reasons we advocate so strongly for mental health access is the reality that challenges can and do happen to anyone, and seeking treatment should be encouraged, not stigmatized."

So, Basically, We Are On Our Own... It's Only A Matter Time...

 TPTB know they are being exposed on a daily basis and more and more people are

being red-pilled.  They are not going to allow this years election in any way shape or form

if they can help it.

 

H/t to Skip.

That is a lot of gumballs. Ooops, I meant to say immigrants

 

This is an interesting illustration pertaining to the world population/immigration, specifically on people who earn less than $2 per day. We have to change directions or the this "tick bitten dog" (aka FUSA) is going to kill over and die.

I have not hit the links added but definitely check them out.  Irish. 




Be thankful that you have different stores to choose from and can easily go to another one if you so desire.
Be thankful that you are free to choose from a huge variety of products (e.g. name brand, generic, large, small, bulk, etc).
Be thankful that, for the moment, the prices are still reasonable. Read about hyperinflation in Venezuela if you disagree (e.g. $35 USD for 18 eggs)*
Be thankful that you don't have to queue up in line at 5am and wait 3+ hours just to get in the store. Again, read up about shopping in Venezuela.
Be thankful that there are fresh fruits and vegetables available of so many varieties almost year round.
Be thankful that you don't have a weekly/monthly ration for what you are *allowed* to buy.
Be thankful that there is soap to buy.
Be thankful that ATMs work.
Be thankful your bank account wasn't frozen to "fight terrorism"**.
Be thankful for clean drinking water that works 24/7/365 and sewer and garbage service.
Be thankful that you don't have to choose between feeding your children and your pets (or yourself).


Prices of food in 2020.

The inflation we've seen is NOTHING compared to what's coming.

Quit complaining and start praying, praising, thanking, confessing, repenting, and forgiving.


For a brutal education about life with hyperinflation I suggest reading articles by Jose in Venezuela at the organic prepper website.
https://www.theorganicprepper.com/category/prepping-survival/jose-from-venezuela/

Here are a few examples:
-Venezuelans barter soap for gasoline

-Abject misery and despair have a distinct smell of ...

-People who I've been chatting with says, one of the most impressive things is the silence, once power is gone. The absolute dark, and the silence, while the megaphones at the distance mercilessly keep repeating the warnings about not going outside.

The hyperinflation in Venezuela made wages a complete joke. We’re talking about the equivalent of $3 USD per month.

My, how things have changed (dated)

 A reader sent this commentary to me. It is 23 years old.  It is titled I Don't Want to Be Black Anymore. I read it light heartedly and smiled to myself and then the humor began to melt away as it occurred to me I was no longer living in the late 90s or early 2000s when things were really clicking for me. Even back then I realized the things pointed out by Johnson were "wrong". Most people did. We simply tolerated, ignored, and/or bypassed them. I was young and like most similar minded folks of that era, we could usually find away to navigate the lunacy of the left. As I got older, I began to notice "things" happening in our country that were wrong  and were being intentionally repeated. The "things" I am speaking of were basically the same issues/logic Mr. Johnson lays out in his essay. There were things that blatantly punished productive people who worked hard, paid taxes, voted in elections and all the other things Traditional Americans had done in the past while simultaneously rewarding  different groups within our country who seemingly contributed nothing to society but drag, and now in some cases to be "at war with the nation".  There were patterns. These acts were growing more severe and frequent with each passing year. I began to realize these acts of what appeared to be incompetence, party lockstep, etc. were being perpetrated on Americans intentionally. The racial division grew wider and wider with each act of social injustice. This insanity was by DESIGN. The traitorous commies in government refused to see or did not care that these and future transgressions carried out against "Americans" in the future would impact their lives along with the lives of their future offspring. This madness will affect them as much as any other person living in North America. We live CLOWNWORLD nowI no longer recognize the country where I was raised. . Of course, I am not talking where I actually reside, the land, etc. I am talking about the mentality of the people who hold offices either elected or appointed. (well get on info-retarded voters another day). I am talking about the majority of people running the show. Growing up, I believed the government had the best interest of the people in mind. As I bean to mature it turned out to be another "finding out that Santa was not real". The things Johnson pokes fun and ridicules seem almost minor today. We now have torn down the vast majority of our monuments (not just Confederate). Certainly all battle flags of the Confederacy have been erased from state flags and state capitol buildings. These forces of darkness have renamed practically every major military installation/fort named for Confederated generals as a gesture towards reconciliation  after the first CW. We have had BHM for eons now. All of this BS plus much, much, more to come our way in the future and not a damn thing has changed except the quality of life and living conditions in America continues to plummet. I believe if Mr. Johnson were real and alive today, he would probably have a "heartAstroke" after seeing how much further this nation has fallen in the last twenty odd years since the passing of the misnamed Patriot Act, basically.

June/July 2000
It’s not working, folks.
I have tried to do everything I can to be the African-American I’m supposed to be, but I just cannot continue. I am hereby resigning myself from the Black Race. And before I get death threats from my Black brethren out there, hear me out.
In February, I made it through another Black history month, in which I was supposed to do all I could to insult White people for 28 days. I guess I should even say the Black History month is a racial conspiracy by White people since they only gave us 28 (or 29) days to rip their dignity to shreds, while the other months have 30 or 31 days. I guess it’s just another example of the Black man not getting his fair share.
Frankly, many of my Black brothas and sistas are starting to…well…embarrass me. Can I turn on the television and not hear some Black liberal puke complaining about something?
I’ll start there – television. First we had the NAACP (Notorious African American Communist Pigs) lambasting Hollywood for not having enough Blacks in front of (or behind) the cameras. “We don’t see enough Black folk on TV.” An economic boycott is threatened, the ugly “R” word is used, and Hollywood (you know, those rich White guys) capitulate. Did anyone ask were the accusations true? And if so, who really cares?
Whenever I turn my television to watch my favorite programs, I see plenty of very wealthy and successful Black men excelling in their trade/craft. But I guess the NFL, the NBA, and Major League baseball doesn’t count. It must be just me. I guess the “quota kings and queens” don’t count those folks. Then another ‘study’ comes out. This one says, ‘While Blacks are over-represented on television, they are still given only minor roles, or are on screen for less than 5 seconds at a time.’ And, of course, this too is unfair. The easy defense against this eternal whining was for anyone to just mention three letters: B.E.T.
That’s right, Black Entertainment Television, where you can get all the Blackness you want, 24/7 with all those Black folks in front of (and behind) all those cameras. Gee, only about 60 million cable viewers can see that.
I guess it’s just me. Maybe Momma didn’t raise me right. Now we have that flag issue in Dixie. Most folks thought if they just took down that flag, all this controversy would just go away. After all, it’s a horrible reminder of slavery.
Strange, I can’t find a Black person in this country who can remember being a slave. I also can’t find one White person in the country who will admit to owning slaves. In fact, most of the Whites in this country (according to my investigation) had ancestors who landed on these shores long after slavery ended in North America. And I can’t repeat what some of those Irish folks told me. But, for one month I’m supposed to hate the Confederate flag. Not just waving over the South Carolina Statehouse, but on police cars in Mississippi and in front of livestock shows in Houston. I’m supposed to call for the changing of the names of bridges in Virginia, parks in Tennessee and the defacing of portraits of General Lee. I’m even supposed to support Rep. King’s (R-NY) demonizing of every Southerner in the halls on Congress. I’m supposed to support and endorse all of this because I’m a Black man.
Yes, boycott South Carolina. Boycott the entire South until they get their “minds right.” This means, no Blacks (like me) should do any business with the South period. So, to that Black businessman in Memphis, sorry. Hope you can get some of those racist White folks to patronize your store. The NAACP says I can’t go there.
About the family reunion this year in South Carolina – forget it. Nope, not me. Our un-elected Black leadership says we gotta boycott. Don’t worry, I’ll explain to that Black soul food caterer in Columbia that the reason he’s losing so much business this year is because of a piece of cloth hanging over the capitol building. He’ll understand.
And Florida… we’ll have to leave you out, too. You see, Governor Jeb Bush enacted a program called “One Florida” in which anyone who finishes in the top 20% of his or her class gets a scholarship to a public University in Florida. I can’t figure it out for the life of me, but according to my Black leaders, that’s racist, too. The NAACP head (case) says we’ll boycott Florida until that’s changed. By the way, isn’t it interesting that the same people who say we should boycott everything economically are the same people who say Blacks are economically deprived in this “White dominated” society? What they’re telling me is that Black people are too stupid to make it into the top 20% of the graduating class, and that most Black people are too stupid to see through their lies. And most of these self-appointed Black leaders probably NEVER made it into the top 20% of anything. But nevertheless, they’re my leaders. Dan Rather, Tom Brokaw, Peter Jennings, Bill Bradley and Al Gore say they are, and since all these self-appointed “oracles” are White, they must be right.
Even Secret Service is getting into the act. Some of these guys, even though they get to guard the President and the Vice President, say they haven’t got the promotions they deserve. Where’s the dignity? I guess those White Secret Service agents get to guard folks more important.
Here’s a suggestion for the Black Secret Service agents who guard those important White folks (from the south): Wanna become heroes and restore your dignity? Quit. That’ll teach ‘em.
As a Black man, I’m told I should pin my hopes on making it rich when the NAACP gets their “fair share” from suing all those guns dealers. After all it’s those gun dealers’ fault for all those Black folks shooting all those Black folks. Perhaps next year, they’ll be suing bed-sheet makers, rope manufacturers, and the South American drug cartels.
I have asked my Black leaders to sue the ATF, since the only product in America that “requires” you to list your race before purchasing it is a firearm. They haven’t returned my call. But then again, the right to keep and bear arms isn’t listed under “civil rights” anyway, is it?
It’s okay. We’ll just sue the gun-makers instead. That’ll teach them to not sell guns to us Black folks (so we can get gunned down for reaching for a wallet.) Yes, if we just sue a few more White folks, harass and slander the rest, one day -– maybe one day — we won’t have to put a prefix in front of the word “American” anymore.
Well, I’m not waiting for that. I have done everything to try to advance the cause of personal freedom as a Black man, and to enjoy the liberty that my parents fought for, but it is just not working. These White people are just too smart for me. They made sure that I never had to wait at a Denny’s restaurant longer than anyone else does. Some of them hired me for simply having the brains to do the job. Some of them (the real sneaky ones) had the gall to judge me by the content of my character, and not the color of my skin. They’ve paid me in dollars with White slave-owners’ photos on them. And, damn them, they made me earn it first.
They have allowed me to own my own business. They even went so far as to steal tax dollars from other White people to make sure I got an education – so I could like…make it in this world.
What an evil plot. Since there is almost no reason to bitch about anything anymore, it must be…institutional racism.
I am through being used. I am fed up with trying to conform. This year, when I filled out my Census form, I let them know that I quit. I wish to no longer be a Black American. I want nothing to do with race baiting, whining, pandering for more tax dollars, family breakdowns, and the Al Sharptons of the world.
I don’t want to be Black anymore.
I am somebody, and I don’t need Jesse Jackson to tell me that. My father already did.
I don’t want to be Black anymore.
I refuse to be used as a statistic to get more left-wing socialists into Congress.
I don’t want to be Black anymore.
There is no need to make me part of a “protected group” as the California Governor recently stated. I can protect myself, thank you.
I don’t want to be Black anymore.
Please do not feel sorry for me anymore, White folks. That liberal pity-party really insults me, anyway.
I don’t want to be Black anymore.
You Democrats don’t have to act like you like me. I know it’s an election year. I am tired of being the Black “sheep” of the party. Leave me alone.
I don’t want to be Black anymore.
If it means disgracing my own heritage by insulting Southern history.
I don’t want to be Black anymore.
Since making the same statements Martin Luther King, Jr. made in 1963 are now considered “racist” and “insensitive…”
I don’t want to be Black anymore.
If it means more innocent White people are forced to go through “sensitivity training…”
I don’t want to be Black anymore.
If it means that everyone loses their freedom of speech, freedom to peaceably assemble, and their right to keep and bear arms…
I don’t want to be Black anymore.
If it means being a ward of the State, rather than a Child of God…
I don’t want to be Black anymore.
I’ll sign the papers, dammit. I’ll file the lawsuit. I’ll start the boycott this time. I have every right. I am sick of these media-selected Black prostitutes making a mockery out of my country, out of everything America stands for. I’m sick of them giving everyone else a reason to hate me.
I quit.
I no longer want a prefix in front of my label. From this point forward, I, J.J. Johnson, DEMAND that I be simply called…
…American.

From somewhere on twitter:

 

So l am at Walmart scanning and bagging my almost $300 worth of groceries while the employee that wants $15 an hour "monitors" and then this happened.

Her - why are you double bagging all of your groceries?

Me - excuse me?

Her - you are wasting our bags!

Me - if you don't like the way I'm bagging the groceries, feel free to come on over here and bag them yourself.

Her - that's not my job!

Me - okay, then I will bag my groceries how I please if that's all right with you.

Her - why are you using two bags?!

Me - because the bags are weak and I don't want the handles to break or the bottoms to rip out.

Her - well that's because you are putting too much stuff in the bag. If you took half of that stuff out and put it in a different bag then you wouldn't need to double bag.

*10 seconds of me just staring at her.

Me - so you want me to split these items in half and put half of them in a different bag so that I don't have to double bag.

Her - exactly.

Me - so I would still be using two bags to hold the same number of items.

Her - no because you wouldn't be double bagging.
*me pressing two fingers to my left eye in an attempt to make it stop twitching.

Me - okay so here I have a jug of milk and a bottle of juice double bagged. If I take the milk out and remove the double bagging and just put the milk in the single bag and the juice in that single bag I'm still using two bags for these two items.

Her- no because you are not double bagging them so it's not the same number of bags.

The Firm ™

@BasedMikeLee

Earlier today, a reporter standing outside the Senate chamber told me that, after four months of secrecy, The Firm™️ plans to release the text of the $106 billion supplemental aid / border-security package—possibly as soon as tomorrow.

Wasting no time, she then asked, “if you get the bill by tomorrow, will you be ready to vote on it by Tuesday?”

The words “hell no” escaped my mouth before I could stop them. Those are strong words where I come from. (Sorry, Mom).

The reporter immediately understood that my frustration was not directed at her.

Rather, it was directed at the Law Firm of Schumer & McConnell (“The Firm™️”), which is perpetually trying to normalize a corrupt approach to legislating—in which The Firm™️

(1) spends months drafting legislation in complete secrecy,

(2) aggressively markets that legislation based not on its details and practical implications (good and bad), but only on its broadest, least-controversial objectives,

(3) lets members see bill text for the first time only a few days (sometimes a few hours) before an arbitrary deadline imposed by The Firm™️ itself, always with a contrived sense of urgency, and then

(4) forces a vote on the legislation on or before that deadline, denying senators any real opportunity to read, digest, and debate the measure on its merits, much less introduce, consider, and vote on amendments to fix any perceived problems with the bill or otherwise improve it.

Whenever The Firm™️ engages in this practice, it largely excludes nearly every senator from the constitutionally prescribed process in which all senators are supposed to participate.

By so doing, The Firm™️ effectively disenfranchises hundreds of millions of Americans—at least for purposes relevant to the legislation at hand—and that’s tragic.

It’s also unAmerican, uncivil, uncollegial, and really uncool.

So why does The Firm™️ do it?

Every time The Firm™️ utilizes this approach and the bill passes—and it nearly always does—The Firm™️ becomes more powerful.

The high success rate is largely attributable to the fact that The Firm™️ has become very adept at  (a) enlisting the help of the (freakishly cooperative) news media, (b) exerting peer pressure in a way that makes what you experienced in middle school look mild by comparison, and (c) rewarding those who consistently vote with The Firm™️ with various privileges that The Firm™️ is uniquely capable of offering (committee assignments, help with campaign fundraising, and a whole host of other widely coveted things that The Firm™️ is free to distribute in any manner it pleases).

It’s through this process that The Firm™️ passes most major spending legislation.

It’s through this process that The Firm™️ likely intends to pass the still-secret, $106 billion supplemental aid / border-security package, which The Firm™️ has spent four months negotiating, with the luxury of obsessing over every sentence, word, period, and comma.

I still don’t know exactly what’s in this bill, although I have serious concerns with it based on the few details The Firm™️ has been willing to share.

But under no circumstances should this bill — which would fund military operations in three distant parts of the world and make massive, permanent changes to immigration law — be passed next week.

Nor should it be passed until we have had adequate time to read the bill, discuss it with constituents, debate it, offer amendments, and vote on those amendments.

There’s no universe in which those things will happen by next week.

Depending on how long it is and the complexity of its provisions, the minimum period of time we should devote to this bill after it’s released should be measured in weeks or months, not days or hours.

SHOCKER! (I cannot confirm this, but most here wouldn't doubt a word of it).

 I've been trying to find more information about this report below, but like the lightly reported bombing of "targets" in Syria yesterday, info has been slow coming forthwith (imagine the MSM keeping Americans in the dark while flooding their minds with meaningless shit like Taylor Swift). I know that I do not have to tell most who visit here, but I would STAY AWAY FROM THE BORDER till this settles. 






I just received this: Alert - Major fight in the NSA Biden has ordered that facial recognition of Americans all along the border with Mexico be collected and stored because "white racists are going to attack migrants and border patrol." Leaders at NSA as of one hour ago are refusing the orders! This is massive courage on the part of these individuals. Border patrol agents are leaking that a false terrorist activity is planned for tomorrow. Border agents are working with Tx to diffuse this criminal act by the Biden administration. A dozen members of liberal NGOs have already been arrested dressed as Trump supporters. These have been caught after running license plates and identifying them. These liberals have been caught with machine guns. Border Patrol tipped off the TX law enforcement last Friday. Proud of the Officers at Fort Meade whom God has placed there to oppose this illegal spying on Citizens. Biden wanted a dragnet like what was done on J6. The NSA meeting this morning was VERY heated (started 7:30am today). FBI memo leaked yesterday to TX police at about 4:40pm framing the "planned assault by two "racists." Likely to be persons under government-run psychiatric care and on psychotropic medicine. Tx will be on guard through next Monday.
