SOME OF US WHO LABOR IN THE MIND ARE AWARE THERE’S A REALITY:  Virtuals vs. Physicals; Imagology vs. Reality.

This is ultimately a failure of our education system. Look, I love science fiction — heck, I write it — but a lot of the science fiction they’re teaching kids as reality is not only not here yet, it might not be possible:

Self driving trucks? Robots that do all the works, so everyone can have UBI? The possibility of changing sexes (yeah, sexes. Physical) seamlessly and be fertile?

Sure, we can write about it. But this is being taught to kids as the reality they are living in or will be living in in five to ten years.  And if it’s possible at all we’re hundreds of years from that point.

But people who labor in ideas and words don’t know that. The reality inside their heads doesn’t account for those who grow, bake and transport their bread. They think you can get energy from fans and solar collectors that are far worse to the environment to build. They refuse nuclear because they heard it was bad. And they are sure we can stop using fossil fuels, if we just wish hard enough and click our heels three times.

Some of them are very good at highly specialized jobs, but for the rest? Bah. They’re a bunch of maleducated toddlers. Take their theory that they can print all the money they want and there will be no inflation. or that we can pay off the national debt by printing a bill in that amount. Toddlers. And my toddlers were smarter than that.

I suggest we put them to bed with a teddy bear and a coloring book, and we fix the mess they’ve made. Because sooner or later, we’re going to have to.

DUH. IT’S ANOTHER CRAZY ATTEMPT AT NAILING JELLO TO THE WALL:  New York Investigation of Trump’s Business Falling Apart as Two Prosecutors Resign From Manhattan DA Office.

Actually you can say this about all of the Junta’s initiatives, efforts and delusions: Falling apart. The color revolution and the take over by the deep state, and all this…. nonsense since November 2020 amounts to the ghost dance of the left. They have no sane policy left. Their beloved Marxist theories were disproved (or proven crazy and stupid, both) before Beardo the Weirdo ran to teach them to the current generation of custard brains in the universities.  Since 1991 they’ve attempted to deal with the discomfirmation of the Marxist cult by convincing themselves it’s all about the environment, no, race, no various sexual preferences, no trans identity. But all the king’s philosophers and all the king’s transmen cannot put the Marxist humpty dumpty together again.

To make things worse the sheer…. combativeness and opposition of the masses — which are supposed to be on their side! — keeps hitting them in the face. We formed tea parties, we voted for Trump.  They propagandized us, abused us, locked us in to facilitate the … what was it? biggest and most diverse cheating operation in history.  And what did we do? We voted for Trump again, in bigger numbers, causing them to have to cheat at the last minute in front of G-d and everybody in a way that couldn’t be hid.  And then they had to run around influencing the courts, and being really obvious when they denied to even look at the case.

And all for what? They put their beautiful shiny plans into effect. Giving us money was supposed to make us happy! We should stay scared of the covidiocy and let them slide us seamlessly into their beautiful, shiny great reset which is like the Marxist end of history but with butterflies and rainbows. Instead, we started shouting Let’s go Brandon, and putting rude stickers on the gas, which they want to go higher to save the Earth, you heathens. And we have the nerve to believe inflation is a bad thing. And we just have a bad attitude, and —  and they don’t know what to do anymore.

So, they’re doing crazy things. And because they thought that locking us up for 2 years to avoid a bad cold was sane; they thought that forcing us to take a half baked not-a-vaccine was sane, they thought making school children wear masks forever was sane….. their crazy stuff is going to get crazier, and crazier, and crazier.

They can’t win but we can lose.  Stay alert. And keep your clothes and weapons where you can find them in the dark.

HE’S RIGHT, BUT OUR FECKLESS LEADERS WON’T DO ANYTHING SO SENSIBLE:

An idea so crazy, it just might work!

CHANGE: Target lifts mask requirement for employees and shoppers. “Mega retailer Target announced Wednesday that it would rescind its mask mandate that applied to both employees and shoppers, joining a growing number of stores scaling back their masking rules.”

According to Business Insider last month, the analytics firm Numerator “found that Target’s typical shopper is a white suburban mother between 35 and 44 years old. She typically has some college or a 4-year degree education with a household income of $80,000.” Evidently, Target’s no longer worried that she’s going to get the vapors in 2022 over her fellow shoppers or the local store clerks walking about without a mask.

 

OPEN THREAD: Got those ol’ future blues, mama.

BIDEN VOTERS POSTING THEIR L’S ONLINE: Peggy Noonan: Where Putin Goes From Here. The war is uncharted territory. We don’t know how far he plans to go, but he isn’t stopping soon.

CTRL-F “Biden” brings up zero results in Noonan’s column, appropriately enough.

ZELENSKY TO PUTIN: I’m no Nazi — I’m Jewish. “Putin’s address and justification wasn’t meant for Western ears. It was aimed at Russians and ethnic-Russian Ukrainians with long memories and long grudges from World War II. In the run-up to World War II, Ukraine — which at the time did not include as much ethnic-Russian territory — had suffered through the Holodomor, a deliberate genocidal famine imposed by Joseph Stalin. The Soviet leader wanted to suppress the kulaks, but more importantly the western-leaning Ukrainians that chafed at the Soviet occupation. Estimates of casualties from the imposed famine of 1932-33 runs as high as 3.9 million. By June 1933, 28,000 people were dying each day, while the Soviets expropriated millions of tons of Ukrainian wheat. As a result, when Hitler attacked the Soviet Union in his surprise war of June 1941, ethnic Ukrainians rallied around the Germans as liberators — but only at first. Rather than take advantage of the Ukrainian hatred for the Soviets, the Nazis imposed the same racial policies in Ukraine that they imposed on other Slavs in eastern Europe. Still, some collaboration took place among ethnic Ukrainians, and that has not been forgotten among Russians.”

TO BE FAIR, THAT’S BECAUSE HE’S TERRIBLE: LA Times: DA Gascon failed ‘to deliver justice’ in Tubbs case. “It’s not very often that a columnist for the LA Times says that people on the right are correct about something but it happened today. Anita Chabria says that the Hannah Tubbs case has become “fodder” for the ‘conservative outrage machine’ but admits that in this case they have a point. In fact, as she explains at length, there’s really no way to justify the outcome of this case regardless of your perspective on the wisdom of criminal justice reform.”

Maybe the “conservative outrage machine” exists because the left commits so many outrages. Plus:

I’ve written about the attack before but basically Tubbs entered the women’s restroom at a Denny’s and assaulted a 10 year old girl then fled the scene and the state for several years. During his stays in Oregon, Washington and Idaho he continued to rack up arrests and charges. Chabria reports that Tubbs “rap sheet was described to me as 37 pages long when printed out.” One of those cases is from 2020 when Tubbs was convicted of assault with a deadly weapon for stabbing someone multiple times over a minor argument.

So it’s not hard to see why Gascon and his office are denying they knew who Tubbs really was when they decided to charge him as a minor. But the ADA who handled the case said if they didn’t know it’s because they didn’t care to look.

Like I said, maybe the “conservative outrage machine” exists because the left commits so many outrages.

GREAT MOMENTS IN PRIORITIES: Joy Behar Frets Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine Will Harm Her Vacation Plans.

Behar then voiced her concern about how it could force her to further put off a dream trip to Italy:

You know, you just plan a trip. You want to go there, want to go to Italy for four years, and I haven’t been able to make it because of the pandemic, and now this. You know, it’s, like, what’s going to happen there too?

A few moments later, Behar became unhinged and suggested that “people on the right in this country are on Putin’s side[.]” She built off of that and wondered if they were being paid off, asking, “What are they making a lot of money over there?”
