Welcome back everyone! “Spring Break” is over for Little Bob, and I continue to gain newfound respect for parents who home school. Onto the crazy, and it’s a really full plate this weekm starting with a short hop in the Wayback Machine of a few weeks ago:
4/1 – Americans are driving less because of the coronavirus. That’s hurting red-light camera revenue.
This story makes the cut for the #Analysis provided by Ace: (censorship mine)
Just imagine how much of a pinko little b*stard you would have to be to write that article with a straight face.
4/4 – Via Local Commie Underlings, Beijing Officially Disapproves
The Daily Telegraph gives a threatening letter from the Chinese government the resposne it deserves. I wish that the American media MSM had the same cajones, but it’s not smart to bite the people who sign your paychecks. Even if it betrays your country. And the MSM still wonders why us Normals reject them.
4/5 – American Innovation In The Age Of Quarantine
Creative capitalism by a “gentleman’s club”. Because ‘Murica, baby!
4/7 – Militants Fire RPG At C-130 Then An MQ-9 Reaper Crew Promptly Locates, Tracks, And Kills Them
How about some happy news? This should warm everyone’s heart
4/8 – This is the Crisis that Every Citizen Can Not Let Go to Waste
Yes, I know this was in last week’s TWIRL – thanks for the cross post, Potomac Tea Party!
4/9 – NOW THE CORRUPT DEMOCRATS WANT STIMULUS FOR MEDIA!
Another case of Democrats protecting one of their loyal constituents
4/10 – Virus-Panicked Liberal Gun Buyers Are Getting Angry When They Discover Their Own Gun Control Laws
This may become a weekly feature of having Razorfist give his NSFW languaged salute to Lefties
4/10 – When Snitches Become Monsters
Sociologist Patrick Bergemann, author of Judge Thy Neighbor, and an assistant professor of organizations and strategy at the University of Chicago, says: “In Nazi Germany, an estimated 42 percent of the denunciations were false. Authorities debated changing the system, but they ultimately decided to keep it because it was great for keeping everyone in line.”
4/10 – Ted Cruz slaps down Democrat advocating for billions of dollars to go to Iran over pandemic
Wouldn’t it be great if Democrats had as much concern for their own citizens as they do for leaders who are sworn enemies of the United States?
4/11 – While you were focused on the pandemic, it was revealed the FBI knew the Steele Dossier against Trump contained Russian disinformation
I’ll be a lot happier if anyone ever goes to jail over this. I’m not holding my breath.
4/11 – A “CANNONBALL RUN” FOR THE ECONOMY?
If we do The Cannonball Run I call dibs on having Captain Chaos ride shotgun with me! Which character(s) from TCR would you have roll with you? Despite the title, this post is a pretty grim look at what the recovery will look like.
4/11 – Sweden and Brazil Kept Their Economies Open and Their COVID-19 Numbers Are No Worse than US
Things that make you go “Hmmmmm…..”
4/11 – A Tale of Two Towns
The Coronavirus has been brnging out the best and the worst in people. I’m grateful that our neighborhood has been one of the good ones, and I hope that yours is as well.
4/11 – CNN Coronavirus Town Hall Accidentally Airs a Trump Derangement Syndrome Question
This is a good start! Now if they can address the pandemic of broadcasting fake news!
4/12 – DOJ threatens to take action against pandemic crackdowns on religious ceremonies
Yet another day I am grateful that Donald Trump is our president. I highly doubt that had we elected a senile alcoholic back in 2016 Atty. Gen Kamal Harris would be supporting religious liberty.
4/13 – Washington Post, NY Times Finally Touch On Tara Read Sexual Assault Allegations Against Biden
It’s good to be a Democrat…
4/14 – A Remedial Explanation Of Federalism For Jonah Goldberg
I used to be a big fan of Jonah. Seeing how he & the rest of the Vichy Conservatives have behaved since the rise of Trump makes you wonder how much they were ever on our side in the first place
4/15 – Alexandria Donkey-Chompers: Of Course It’s “Legitimate” To Talk About Tara Reade’s Rape Allegation Against Joe Biden
Got to give credit where credit is due – props to Gulag Barbie for getting one right!
4/16 – ‘Feminist’ Jessica Valenti: Vote for Biden Because ORANGE MAN BAD!
This deserves a post of it’s own, but all I’ll say is that after years of enabling his behavior the Democrats are getting exactly the presidential candidate they deserve in Sundown Joe.
4/16 – Whitmer authorizes lethal force to maintain state lockdown
Yes, this is a satire piece from The People’s Cube, but we’ve reached the point where old punk lyrics like “Kill you before we let you hurt each other” sound less and less like satire
4/17 – The Left is Panicking That the Pandemic Will Encourage Homeschooling
Understandable – The Radical Left’s long march through Big Education has been quite successful, and a disruption like this naturally terrifies them
ICYMI – I responded to a Washington Compost editorial written by a young Climastrologist with Actually, the Corona Virus Is Exactly Why We Shouldn’t do The Green New Deal
Have a great weekend!
Perhaps they should ask for checks from the countries of their citizenship?

Christopher Lasch’s work in 1979 The Culture of Narcissism. helps the reader to understand a major underlying issue of left-narcissism.
Lasch’s full description of narcissism is quite powerful and relevant:
Having surrendered most of his technical skills to the corporation, [the contemporary American] can no longer provide for his material needs. As the family loses not only its productive functions but many of its reproductive functions as well, men and women no longer manage even to raise their children without the help of certified experts. The atrophy of older traditions of self-help has eroded everyday competence, in one area after another, and has made the individual dependent on the state, the corporation, and other bureaucracies.
Narcissism represents the psychological dimension of this dependence. Notwithstanding his occasional illusions of omnipotence, the narcissist depends on others to validate his self-esteem. He cannot live without an admiring audience. His apparent freedom from family ties and institutional constraints does not free him to stand along or to glory in his individuality. On the contrary, it contributes to his insecurity, which he can overcome only by seeing his “grandiose self” reflected in the attentions of others, or by attaching himself to those who radiate celebrity, power, and charisma. For the narcissist, the world is a mirror, whereas the rugged individualist saw it as an empty wilderness to be shaped to his own design.
this description fits every democrap and left radical. students and BS teachers and university professors are included. recall sitting through college lectures of arrogant self-generating nepotism from alleged learned teachers and professors?
WHICH Covid 19 numbers?
Not deaths per million!
Sweden = 130.9 deaths per million.
Brazil = 9.32 deaths per million.
The US results have been skewed by Cuomo and a few others who are calling many non-covid deaths covid.
https://nypost.com/2020/04/10/coronavirus-is-now-the-leading-cause-of-death-in-america/
Still we are under Brazil by over 30 deaths per million.
If our Covid deaths were really all Covid deaths we might even be under Brazil.
Americans are driving less because of the coronavirus. That’s hurting red-light camera revenue.
Shhh they havent figured out by shutting down businesses the lose sales and income tax, then have to put out for unemployment welfare and foodstamps. OMG their money!
– When Snitches Become Monsters Never mind there is an AP you can down load and snitch on yourself ! Its all voluntary til its not.
Good luck MF I have a flip phone will be sending for that No Trace Cell Case, see you all in the supreme court.
This one goes out to the Guv’ners
I’m confused; isn’t the purpose of the existence of the cameras to use fear of being caught to totally STOP people running red lights which would reduce the revenue to ZERO? Or was there another motive?
I wonder if our party-run liberal media here noticed what an independent, real media looks like?
What else would they deliver… or “hand out” curbside?
What capabilities… what PEOPLE!
Maybe they can have pay-per-view for the abortions and gun restrictions they just passed? Make liberals pay for it.
I think liberals just take great pleasure in trying to make real people pay for their own destruction.
Why don’t they exploit some of them there “gun show loopholes”? I heared you can buy a gun easier than buying a book that way.
It might be an impeachable offense for Trump to have not seen this pandemic coming and not maintaining Obama’s system of funneling emails snitching on friends and neighbors that don’t recognize his genius to the White House. Look at all the petty vendettas that could be satisfied now that are going un-sated.
There is no more generous and caring people on earth than liberals… as long as they have access to lots of someone else’s money. But, there IS a solution.
I’ll be clear; I seek vengeance. These liars put this nation through over 4 years of hell and the punishment needs to be so harsh and overt as to discourage such coup attempts in the future. It would be nice if Democrats could see the threat to our very form of government but, then again, they seek to tear this down by any means they can find.
Perhaps the “Balanced Budget Amendment” needs to be revisited?
If Trump had left the economy open here and we still had only (only?) 60,000 deaths, he would STILL be blamed for every one. He had no choice; he HAD to err on the side of caution. Blame the Democrats for taking all consideration of risk and reward away from Trump.
You gotta love “authorities” that don’t understand concepts.
Wouldn’t CNN actually answering that question be like a heroin addict affirming that drug abuse is harmful?
Imagine Holder or Lynch reacting to such abuses… or, rather, NOT reacting.
Well, it’s good if you are an invertebrate. Maybe they should have called in their lawyers, but “unwanted touching” IS sexual assault if so deemed by the person “touched”.
I’ve said it before; our form of government relies heavily on the good intentions of those we choose to lead. If we make bad choices, we will get really bad results.
It COULD be that they don’t discuss it extensively because those are unproven charges and IF they bring it up, well, they are “right wing” attacking Biden. The only part that IS pertinent is the hypocrisy angle and, on that, they SHOULD be attacking it relentlessly. But, of course, they would be mostly preaching to the choir.
It’s my belief that liberals would be far less upset ALL the time if they recognized that the people they believe in a scum and those they believe are scum are only so because they believe the lies they invent to MAKE them scum. They lie themselves into a frenzy of ignorance.
The problem today is that you can’t tell the satire from Democrat reality. The claim of “satire” is also dishonestly used to try to get out from underneath some BS that gets posted and blown to pieces, as I found recently when someone posted a “chart” showing how many deaths Trump is “responsible” for (Hurricane Harvey, COVID19, etc) only their chart left out ISIS, Hurricane Sandy and H1N1. After a few dozen posts about “relevance” and “credible sources”, they finally accused me of not recognizing a chart titled “This is just sad” as obvious “satire”.
Imagine a world where kids are taught, not indoctrinated and personal discipline is maintained?
Stay safe and healthy, everyone!
@MOS #8541: I was lucky – the only loony prof I ever had to sit through was for an Intro to Poli Sci class. Dude was a flaming lefty and proud of it. I can’t imagine what it’s like in a campus classroom today
@Nan G: Yeah, great example of how government intervention incentivises BS to inflate numbers
@kitt: Ah, good ol’ Englebert. I’m glad he went on to a successful career after his start as the catcher for The Bad News Bears =8^)
@Deplorable Me:
The importance of this is making Leftists know that there are consequences for their actions. The fact that they currently endorse Brown Shorts like Antifa genuinely cocerns me about what will come next. Or ten years from now.
@Brother Bob: No doubt no matter what is done, the left will continue to proceed towards a police state. That’s the only way they see to hold power. When we have someone that has violated the Constitution so egregiously and for such a seditious purpose, they have to be punished to the FULLEST extent of the law.
