Repost of “Current crop of idiots” (2013)

Founded by Geniuses but run Idiots?

If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but not for being in the country illegally …you might live in a country founded by geniuses, but run by idiots.

If you have to get your parents’ permission to go on a field trip or take an aspirin in school, but not to get an abortion … you might live in a country founded by geniuses, but run by idiots.

If the only school curriculum allowed to explain how we got here is evolution, but the government stops a $15 million construction project to keep a rare spider from evolving to extinction … you might live in a country founded by geniuses, but run by idiots.

If you have to show identification to board an airplane, cash a check, buy liquor or check out a library book, but not to vote who runs the government … you might live in a country founded by geniuses, but run by idiots.

If the government wants to ban stable, law-abiding citizens from owning gun magazines with more than ten rounds, but gives 20 F-16 fighter jets to the crazy new leaders in Egypt … you might live in a country founded by geniuses, but run by idiots.

If, in the largest city, you can buy two 16-ounce sodas, but not a 24-ounce soda because 24-ounces of a sugary drink might make you fat … you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

If an 80-year-old woman can be stripped searched by the TSA but a woman in a hijab is only subject to having her neck and head searched … you might live in a country founded by geniuses, but run by idiots.

If the government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more, you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

If a seven year old boy can be thrown out of school for saying his teacher is “cute,” but hosting a sexual exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly acceptable … you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

If children are forcibly removed from parents who discipline them with spankings while children of addicts are left in filth and drug infested “homes”… you might live in a country founded by geniuses, but run by idiots.

If hard work and success are met with higher taxes and more government intrusion, but not working is rewarded with EBT cards, WIC checks, Medicaid, subsidized housing and free cell phones … you might live in a country founded by geniuses, but run by idiots.

If the government’s plan for getting people back to work is to incentivize NOT working with 99 weeks of unemployment checks and no requirement to prove they applied but can’t find work … you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

If being stripped of the ability to defend yourself makes you more “safe” according to the government … you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.”

Putin’s Gambit.

The leaders of the separatists republics of Donetsk and Luhansk of eastern Ukraine asked Putin to recognize the independence of their territories in a video address aired on Russian state TV.

So two regions in the Ukraine that are de facto separate republics are being recognized by Putin as the de jure government of those republics.

Nothing has changed.

But to listen and watch the media reports in this country you’d think that it’s Panzers crossing the Polish border again.  Complete with graphics showing mass Russian missile barrages,  imaginary war at it’s finest.

Biden (LLC) of course would love a war, anything to divert attention from his abysmal, lower than low, ratings.  So I wouldn’t worry, but it’s Joe Biden (LLC) so worry.

I have spent 12 days live streaming from Ottawa. I did not see one shred of violence until the police showed up.

Howie Carr, “Biden-inflation”

Howie Carr: Biden inflation a pain at the pump, grocery store

And by the way, in case you haven’t left the house recently, you may not have noticed that the government’s official 7.5% inflation rate (the highest since 1982) is nonsense.

How can you have a list of “core” prices that does not include food and fuel? Food and fuel are two necessities that you need to survive — you can’t get any more “core” than food and fuel.

I found a website where a statistician uses the pre-1980 methods of computing inflation. It’s called shadowstats.com. He pegged last month’s actual inflation rate, which includes food and fuel prices, at 15.63%, the highest since June 1947.

My contractor was over yesterday with the new window for the garage he ordered for me three months ago. Three months. And it’s for an unheated garage, any window would have done.

So I asked him to guesstimate what the porch rebuild that he finished just before Trump left office would cost to do today and he said an easy 60% more or about $33-34K (I paid $21K).
If he could get the material and he’d probably be waiting a year to get all the material needed. The left over material in the garage that I was going to ask him to dump, is probably worth $3,000 to somebody today.

He’s trying to keep his labor rates down so he doesn’t completely price himself out of his remaining jobs. Not that anyone else could do it for less, but there is a price at which his customers will balk and cancel.

Quote of the Day. Movies.

“Oh, yeah, that’s why we go to the movies, for two hours of diversity and representation.”

355 movie

“Registering one of the worst-ever openings for a film its size… [the] globe-trotting spy movie The 355 is expected to make $4.3 million in its debut weekend,” reports Collider.

“Conservative estimates had put the film’s opening at between $5 million and $7 million, but this is a terrible result for a film playing in over 3,000 theaters and featuring the sort of cast that it does.”

Yeah, well, conservative estimates said $5 to $7 million in the hopes of spinning a $9 or $10 million opening a success.

Deadline accidentally points out the one big reason why this movie tanked. “The 355 seemed like a perfect title for Universal to acquire a domestic [opening of] $20M, the movie fitting in its theatrical slate, which is about diversity and representation.”

Diversity and representation.

Oh, yeah, that’s why we go to the movies, for two hours of diversity and representation.

Time to watch “The Quiet Man” again.

More Snow.

Unremarkable, except that yesterday it was 62 degrees here.

And it will be in the sixties again on Friday, advancing 10 degrees a day starting Tuesday.

Happy SuperBowl Sunday!  If you’re into that sort of thing.

Shocking numbers on Athlete Heart Attacks and Deaths.

649 Athlete Cardiac Arrests, Serious Issues, 404 Dead, After COVID Shot

Hundreds of millions of people have had the vaccines and (so far) millions of people haven’t dropped dead.  As far as we know.  Is it that the athletes dropping on the pitch are hard to ignore?

There should be a video here, but the other problem I’ve noticed is that videos that suggest a connection to the ‘Jab’ are disappearing quickly.

This chart should not disappear.

Obviously this isn’t going to be investigated seriously until the Democrats are out of office.
