Ann Coulter Recites ‘Humpty Trumpty’

Ann Coulter, invasion, Trump, wall

Humpty Trumpty sat on The Wall,

…

Humpty’s America had a great fall.

MAGA, and all that! The ever-delightfull Ms. Coulter takes a hard look at some patterns forming in the West Wing. It ain’t pretty (Visit Taki, BTW).

Within 10 seconds of Trump’s leaving office, there will be no evidence that he was ever president. Laws will be changed, executive orders rescinded, treaties re-written and courts packed.

Trump will leave no legacy at all. Only a wall is forever.

We had no choice. No one else was promising to save America.

“On day one, we will begin working on an impenetrable, physical, tall, powerful, beautiful southern border wall. We will use the best technology, including above- and below-ground sensors, that’s the tunnels. Remember that: above and below. Towers, aerial surveillance and manpower to supplement the wall, find and dislocate tunnels and keep out criminal cartels …”

— Presidential candidate Donald J. Trump

But then he signed a spending bill expressly prohibiting him from building any part of the wall.

“I will never sign another bill like this again. I’m not going to do it again.”

— President Trump, after signing a spending bill that blocked any funding for a wall.

Today, eight months later, Trump is about to sign another spending bill that will give him no money for the wall.

Anyone want to bet me that he won’t?

Not I.

If America can’t or won’t resist open invasion, then what’s the point? Why bother having any notion of a country?

Hope remains. Perhaps Trump read all this on his working trip to Argentina. Maybe he honed in on the building of the wall inside Mexico. That’s so brilliant, I wish I had thought of it. A.C. deserves her fame.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a nursery rhyme to rewrite.

The NRA vs. The Nuk-u-lar Nuts – from TPC

gun control, nuclear war, Piedmont Chronicles, TPC

Yes! Gun fans, we have, after too long a pause, another Second Amendment article. Today’s ramble was motivated by one of the most irresponsible and alarming comments heard, maybe ever, in the left’s long war on freedom in the New World. Today, we explore the hypothetical intersection of American gun enthusiasts and nuclear weapons. It’s an improbable discussion. Then again, we live in improbable times.


A while back I laid to rest (so I then thought) any concern over the “nuclear option” concerning private firearms ownership. Little did I know that the subject would charge back into the national discourse with deadly potential.


As ridiculous as it sounds, the highest level of gun control hysteria the commies and globos can mount is the utterly irrational fear that, given an unrestricted right to keep and bear arms, American citizens will resort to the ownership and use of nuclear weapons. Yes, really. I’ve actually encountered that grade-A brand of stupidity live and in person – on a college campus if you’ll believe it. I heard it again, via this video:

Avert Your Eyes and Ears

blasphemy, decline, free-speech, make Aliyah already, Nazis, society

Remember that sage advice, given back in the days when Christian sensibilities were under assault in America? Someone wore some hideous or blasphemous slogan on a t-shirt. Avert your eyes. Someone screamed the most debased obscenities imaginable. Avert your ears. The left said free speech had to be protected at all costs, especially outrageous and unpopular speech. And just about any display counted as “speech.” Remember those days?

They’re over. Gone.

A charlatan penned an op-ed for Fake News Network attacking the First Amendment and some American high school boys (bullies love the easy targets, huh?):

A recent incident in Wisconsin, though, is an unsettling reminder that free speech for white supremacy doesn’t necessarily have the intended effect: protecting other kinds of expression. A photo surfaced in mid-November of Baraboo High School boys giving an apparent Nazi salute before their junior prom on the Sauk County Courthouse steps. The Wisconsin school board recently ruled that they could not discipline the students involved because their salute was speech protected by the First Amendment.

Free speech purists claim that Nazi speech must be defended because it is especially controversial, and protecting it therefore also protects less controversial expression. But the school reaction to the Baraboo photo suggests this is not true.

Speech by white people is often seen as unobjectionable, no matter what its content; who you are is more important than what you say. Defending the speech of white kids doesn’t necessarily protect the speech of marginalized people, just as All Lives Matter in a racist society does not in fact mean that Black Lives Matter. Racism is built on inequality and disproportion; you can’t confront it by pretending that we’re all in this together when we manifestly are not.

In fact, in practice free speech for Nazis is often itself a threat to free speech for everyone else, because Nazis use their freedom to violently suppress their opponents. Giving free speech to fascists to rally can reasonably be expected to curtail the free speech rights of other people, which means that organizations like the ACLU, and judges, need to balance interests, rather than just treating free speech for fascists as in itself increasing free speech.

Next, he’ll try to sell us on some speech background checks and databases, speech permits, waiting periods, and general “common sense speech control.”

Nobody likes a Nazi, not the handful of actual relics, unaware of the utter failings of their leftist religion, nor the idiot LARPERs of the alt reich. (Speaking of them … the author’s picture kinda resembles some of their cartoons, IMHO). But, then again, nobody likes communist scum much either. Kissing cousins, those two.

Vox Day was right (again). The free speech movement of the last century was about nothing but weakening Christianity and Western society. That same society the author says has “a racist history and a racist present.” Maybe, in a bid to gift us a better future, he could just avert his eyes or ears and shut the hell up. Or, better yet, get out.

Supreme Court Offers Glimmer of Eighth Amendment Hope

civil forfeiture, Constitution, Eight Amendment, Eighth Amendment, Supreme Court, theft

Just the slightest glimmer. I’m not as excited as the author of this story about a wronged dope dealer:

The Supreme Court left little doubt Wednesday that it would rule that the Constitution’s ban on excessive fines applies to the states, an outcome that could help an Indiana man recover the $40,000 Land Rover police seized when they arrested him for selling about $400 worth of heroin.

A decision in favor of 37-year-old Tyson Timbs, of Marion, Indiana, also could buttress efforts to limit the confiscation by local law enforcement of property belonging to someone suspected of a crime. Police and prosecutors often keep the proceeds.

Timbs was on hand at the high court for arguments that were largely a one-sided affair in which the main question appeared to be how broadly the state would lose.

The court has formally held that most of the Bill of Rights applies to states as well as the federal government, but it has not done so on the Eighth Amendment’s excessive-fines ban.

Justice Neil Gorsuch was incredulous that Indiana Solicitor General Thomas Fisher was urging the justices to rule that states should not be held to the same standard.

“Here we are in 2018 still litigating incorporation of the Bill of Rights. Really? Come on, general,” Gorsuch said to Fisher, using the term for holding that constitutional provisions apply to the states.

Justice Stephen Breyer said under Fisher’s reading police could take the car of a driver caught going 5 mph (8 kph) above the speed limit.

“Anyone who speeds has to forfeit the Bugatti, Mercedes or special Ferrari, or even jalopy,” Breyer said.

Fisher agreed.

It was unclear whether the justices also would rule to give Timbs his Land Rover back or allow Indiana courts to decide that issue. Some justices seemed willing to take that additional step.

“If we look at these forfeitures that are occurring today … many of them are grossly disproportionate to the crimes being charged,” Justice Sonia Sotomayor said.

Yes, looking at all forfeitures occurring today, there is a huge problem. Thank you, wise Latina woman. ‘Cold Water’ Roberts was along with … cold water though, in a way, he might be right. But the problems are so many with these issues.

First, forget the anti-incorporation argument, libertarians. It’s as settled a matter as the fate of the nation. They will formally allow application of the 8th, through the 14th, to and against the States.

Second, as always, hard cases make bad law. No one likes a dope dealer. And there are 10,000 more noble poster children available. On the other hand, why is selling dope a crime (okay to be libertarian, here, still)?

Third, while the excessive fines per se or construed are an important issue in prosecuted criminal cases, the worse issue is the outright theft via “civil” forfeiture. They literally take your stuff – without even a solid accusation of wrongdoing – and keep it barring the jumping of many flaming hoops. The States, most of them, make a mint of this theft, the only criminal activity being committed by the government.

Fourth, it’s not just the States. Uncle Sucker is as guilty as any. Few raise any alarm and many (don’t let the door hit you, Sessions) rabidly defend the practice.

However the Court rules in Timbs, it will be some little good. Unfortunately, a lot of good is needed. We may never fully see it.

Take what you can get, freedom lovers. Take a hike, government thieves.

Another Trump Tweet has some in stitches and some frothing,

This one’s been around a while but it’s never been Trump Tweeted…

But, seriously, eleven isn’t even a start. And, mightn’t enemy combatant treatment be a good way to deal with treason?

America, census, decline, demographics, invasion, white people

Invasion and Bommerism have consequences:

  • By 2030 all baby boomers will be older than age 65, US Census Bureau reveals
  • 1 in every 5 Americans will be retirement age and deaths will ‘rise substantially’
  • The non-Hispanic White-alone population is projected to shrink to 179 million
  • Bureau did not reveal when white Americans will fall below half the population

One will note the globos’ not-so-subtle fear (hatred) of a white America.

blog, books, changes, future, perrinlovett.me

I had a high-energy Sunday. Much was accomplished.

The first change, here, is minimal, though substantive:

As you might have noticed above, the Header modification is now: “Thoughts on Freedom and The West.” This, as opposed to:

Screenshot 2018-11-25 at 3.33.29 PM

This has been the general theme, anyway, for a long time. Now it’s codified. Yes, I’m still concerned with Natural Law. The cigars will continue at random intervals as will the general rambling. Also,

I moved the TPC link up the sidebar and the FP link down:

Screenshot 2018-11-25 at 3.39.28 PM

If I’m honest, TPC is, now, where my better commentary is found. FP is limping along – and likely will for a little longer, bar some reinvigoration. Natural changes.

And, just below those links, one finds the heralding of A NEW BOOK (SOON)!!

Screenshot 2018-11-25 at 3.19.48 PM

I have solicited a fitting forward from a fitting commentator. This should run about 150 pages or so. Hopefully, the e-version will be more readable than that of THLCB; the high-quality trade paperback will be awesome. Ready the credit cards…

The new, to-come entry has been entered on the updated Books Page. Peruse that, if you like.

Yesterday, I kicked off some semi-heavy posting with a social media update. My de-linking from Farcebook was multi-faceted (and great!): the great algorithm changes of 2017-2018 dealt me quiet the traffic blow. That coupled with the spying and privacy invasion and the fact that social media marketing is virtually useless led me to kill the FB account. Still, I’m missing a lot of clicks.

I appreciate that those who now visit are hardcore fans (and perverts Googling in for the #hotpants post – geeze, don’t think I haven’t noticed the pattern [still grateful for the visits]). And, by my admittedly weak standards, 2018 still counts as a “great” year along with 2015, 2016, and 2017. Something needs improvement though. Working on it.

The eventual syndication of my TPC column should help, as will increased book-related queries. I have an email list that I have never deployed. Honestly, it needs a cleanup and I need to learn how to use a list. Progress…

Other items, briefly:

More fiction coming;

Pen Names cometh;

A new alt email has been secured;

What to do with Youtube and videos in general;

I’m mindful about the old Patreon page (ignore it for now);

The ads are problematic, yes; the mobile app is horribly clogged; with a traffic increase I should be able to update $$$ and clean that up while keeping the site free;

etc.

Anyway, thanks for dropping by and reading through these changes – for the better in the near future.

Thanks,

Perrin

Let It Be a Hard BREXIT

BREXIT, England, Europe

The EU offers its “best deal.” And it may be that. As other nations withdraw in the near future and the EU begins to collapse, the deals will get worse – possibly culminating in: “stay or it’s war.” As is, Boris may be right:

Johnson called on May to “junk” the so-called backstop, which he said risks leaving the U.K. as a “satellite state.” Both the U.K. and EU say they want to avoid the backstop ever being triggered, but so far that hasn’t been enough to reassure the DUP, whose 10 lawmakers keep May in power.

The EU could yet demand the U.K. accept a “special deal on immigration”, Johnson said, seeking to raise doubts around one of the key benefits May says flow from her deal — ending freedom of movement.

The only deal on immigration the UK should accept is a total ban on invasion and the complete repatriation of all existing incompatibles in the Kingdom. Time is running out; the culture reaches a tipping point. It was the demographic trainwreck that drove the original vote in 2016. Failure to deliver will likely result in eventual civil war or slow societal genocide.

Speaking of the Monarch, where is She?!?!

And, who, now, has any faith in May? Or Boris or Corbin or anyone else in the government? The Titanic is already rudderless.

lies, Mueller, politics, Russia, Trump

One hopes so, regardless of what the fake Mueller “Russia, Russia, Russia” investigation reveals:

Alan Dershowitz, a frequent defender of President Donald Trump, said special counsel Robert Mueller’s report will be “devastating” for the president.

The Harvard Law professor emeritus told ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos that he believes the president will have to navigate the political impact of a potentially damning final report from the special counsel.

“I think the report is going to be devastating to the president and I know that the president’s team is already working on a response to the report,” Dershowitz said on “This Week” Sunday.

Dershowitz added that he believes the report, although it will have a strong political impact, is unlikely to result in criminal charges.

In fact, the report, devastating or not, may be a good thing; it may provide a convenient list (should anyone in power want one) of enemy combatant candidates. It’ll probably make for some funny Tweets too. Bring it.
