[TAKIMAG] It’s the video nobody wants to talk about. And even the people who talk about it don’t really want to talk about it.
San Dimas is a city in L.A. County. Demographics: roughly 50% non-Hispanic white, 33% Hispanic of any race, 14% Asian, 1.8% black. Last month in San Dimas an L.A. County Sheriff’s deputy pulled over a woman who was texting while driving, a ticketable offense in this state. The deputy was a calm, composed Hispanic (as I’ve often mentioned, the LASD is over 50% Hispanic). And the driver was a batshit crazy black lady, a college professor (though currently not employed as such) who tried every trick she could to bait the deputy into a confrontation.
Body-cam footage captured the incident. In a voice dripping with hostility, Textquesha repeatedly calls the deputy a "murderer."

Yes. This: In America’s current "corrective apartheid," saying "no" to a black person is the worst sin a white can commit. It can lead to being fired, "canceled," or even physically attacked. The rules may in theory apply to everyone, but you can’t tell a black "No, you can’t use the bathroom if you’re not a customer," "No, you can’t eat in this area," "No, this parking is for handicapped only," "No, you may not trespass," "No, you may not grope women in this neighborhood."
Funny: it was Solzhenitsyn who identified exactly this strategy -- refuse to participate in official lies -- as the best and most effective way for ordinary people to resist totalitarianism.

I am surprised the author had the courage to write this piece. The 'Radicalization of Black America' article found at the site is equally as revealing.

Hispanic is an ethnic group not a race. Hispana is the Roman name for what we know as Spain today, located as part of Europe. What is desperately classified as 'Hispanic' is either white or native aboriginal blood. Dare not ask them what they consider themselves. Just for the record, around here they consider themselves white and claim Spanish blood.
One thing is for sure.
The college she graduated from either has low graduation standards for her to have acquired a Masters Degree? Or she could have gone Bat $hit crazy later in life.

Re Hispanics and "Dare not ask them what they consider themselves": actually the Census does ask them, and about 80% of them consider themselves white.
So in reality, "white" Americans aren't a minority or even close to a minority.
Still about 80% of the populace, thanks in large to measure to high birthrate White Hispanics

Choose your own adventure board game I had invested in, at the prototype and testing phase, has decided to go woke.
Which means re-writing the scripts and addressing the graphics. Then the figurines and book/board layouts.
Absolutely demolishing the due date.
Creator's canon surrendered. Project destroyed. Successful contribution to arts and entertainment ruined. Legendary status gone.
Because dude didn't say no.
[Breitbart] Tuesday, FNC host Tucker Carlson weighed in on the Biden administration’s reaction to the increases in prices throughout the economy, which included a gas panic due to a disruption in the Colonial Pipeline.
Carlson speculated much of it had to do with economic policy and the flooding of the American economy with federal money. He likened the status quo to a "grimmer version of the 1970s."

At least Carter didn't do it on purpose. He just didn't know any better.

Well, Joe Biden will be honestly able to say that he doesn't understand the process, because his cranium is 2/3 filled with fungal brain substitute....
They don't understand the process, because they don't want to understand the process.
It's a natural cycle, but it's been supressed for the last fifteen years; because they went and cancelled all their contracts the first three months of the Covid, well, they can't supress it anymore.

The inflation is on purpose since nearly the beginning of managing such things. The inflation occurring now is desperately on purpose. The comment noting the pent up inflation is on since this was started in earnest post catastrophic financial collapse in Oct 2008 - a credit bubble popping and the subsequent and natural deflation that should have occurred would have been even more catastrophic for the powers that be, hence extreme efforts to stimulate inflation to counter it. Consider who benefits from inflation: Debtors and those with first access to the newly created money. That means large financial institutions, who will use new money to purchase assets at current prices (which will then inflate), obviously, but also large corporations that have used low rates to finance stock buy backs and many other others. However, the biggest beneficiary of drastically rising inflation is the US government for obvious reasons. First, they have the opportunity to distribute new money where they like - such as fixing certain drastically underfunded pension systems that serve large organizations integral to the powers that be's support. Second, they have run up so much debt - even before the most recent iteration - that inflating away the value of that debt is the only hope they have of surviving. Unfortunately, the price of attempting to avoid the consequences of massive credit expansion are far worse than letting that deflation happen, and are coming down the track.
[Just The News] In tiny Windham, a November hand recount in a state legislative race revealed vote count discrepancies up and down the ballot — all benefiting Democrats.
An audit team sent to conduct a forensic examination of the 2020 election results in Windham, N.H. started the process off well enough on Tuesday. But by Wednesday, they hit a major snag: The live stream cameras that had been broadcasting the audit room around the clock went offline for close to 90 minutes, potentially obscuring any problematic intervention.
The team decided Thursday morning to reinspect the ballot machines on camera in an attempt to maintain observers' faith in their process. They needed to determine whether the machines had been tampered with over night when the cameras mysteriously went down.
With the country focused on the election audit in Maricopa County, Ariz. and early headlines about election night troubles centered on cities in Georgia, Pennsylvania and Michigan, it comes as a small surprise that the idyllic New England town of Windham — where Republicans ultimately won each of the races now being inspected — also now finds itself under scrutiny for possible election night machine malfunctions and numbers that just don't add up.
While the audit is focused solely on tiny Windham (estimated population: 14,853), the results could have statewide repercussions, as the AccuVote machines used in the town are the only vote-counting machines approved for use in New Hampshire.

No one needs curiosity more than the young, but our educational system is doing its best to suppress it. The kids are being bored out of their minds.
Of course, that’s nothing new in our K-12 schools. As older Americans recall the time they spent in classrooms, they’ll also remember how they were bored, and curious about what was happening outside. But then those classes forced us to open our minds to novel subjects, to things we never would have learned but for school, to history, poetry, and the dissection of frogs.
In some of these classes—the best ones—our curiosity would kick in and we’d embark on a lifelong voyage of discovery.
That’s what happened in college too. Most people—me for one—arrived there with only the haziest of ideas of what they wanted to study. That’s why mandatory first-year courses make sense. You might not know that you had an interest in learning chemistry, foreign languages, or philosophy until you’re required to burrow down into those subjects. But once introduced to them, your curiosity and delight in the subject takes over.
That’s much less likely to happen today, as our K-12 schools and colleges are increasingly teaching students to become social justice warriors rather than broadening their intellectual horizons. That’s wrong in itself. A college education isn’t meant to be political indoctrination. "A mind is a terrible thing to waste," and wasted it is when it’s reduced to brainwashing.
But worse still is what it does to young people at a time when they’re supposed to be exposed to an array of subjects and the new learning that comes with them. The indoctrination—the numerous courses that are about conveying political correctness rather than teaching bodies of knowledge—imposes the opportunity cost of things pushed aside.
There’s a simple reason what curiosity matters more for the young. When we’re young and it’s all before us, choices matter greatly. When we die, it’s all behind us. In between, choices are at first important and then become increasingly inconsequential. The big decisions come right at the start. That’s because life is a wasting asset. It’s like a mine full of precious gems, immensely valuable before mining begins but less and less so as the gems are extracted. When the last gem is dug up the mine is worthless.
We take bigger risks when we’re young, and we’re hard-wired to do so. A growing body of empirical evidence finds that our preferences about risk aren’t stable, and that we become more risk-averse as we grow older. That’s true of individuals and it’s also true of societies as they age. In younger societies, you’ll see higher levels of risk-taking and self-employment. In aging ones, you’ll see more conservative savings and investment behavior. We don’t see old bungee-jumpers. We live in a collapsing civilization, where excellence is measured by standard tests.

Curiosity is no longer necessary. There's really no need to clutter our minds with difficult or perplexing tasks and ideas. The government will provide all the answers we shall need.

We've taken care of everything
The words you read, the songs you sing
The pictures that give pleasure to your eye
It's one for all, all for one
We work together, common sons Never need to wonder how or why.
[ENGLISH.AAWSAT] It is not a regular presidential race. The person who will become head of state for the next four years will lead a transitional period under the banner of "maintaining the regime's identity." This identity is facing challenges regarding its legitimacy, and thus the conflict over who becomes the next president will intensify over the next few days after the battle has been limited to the "conservative wing," which has wrestled control of the state's judicial and legislative institutions. However, alcohol has never solved anybody's problems. But then, neither has milk... the conservatives are facing a real crisis in choosing the next president. They have three choices: Either a candidate from the military establishment, the religious establishment, or a conservative civilian figure. However, alcohol has never solved anybody's problems. But then, neither has milk... it is expected that the competition will be exclusive to the first two.

Iran's deep state controls the country, who gets elected is largely superfluous.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
