Ramblings and rants

Storm of the century part duex

While I was on vacation in Alaska, Vermont was hit with a rainstorm of nearly biblical proportions that many say was worse than “Irene”.

I suffered only minimal damage to my home, mostly water in the basement. Fortunately, most things were in plastic totes. My partner fared worse with up to six inches of water in her basement and the loss of some irreplaceable items. But in the grand scheme of things we know others fared much worse.

I do not believe the floods are any kind of divine retribution as per some Facebook comments I was made aware of. It was just an unusual weather pattern that created monsoon conditions. Climatologists attribute this to (of course) “Climate Change”.  

 

“To stop our temperatures rising on the planet, the answer is pretty simple, it’s reducing our emissions of greenhouse gases that come from our burning of fossil fuels to zero as quickly as possible,”  Climate scientist  Tom Deliberto said.

 

Does it seem Mr. Deliberto wants an authoritarian government to make this happen?  

 

As we are all aware, Vermont is very blue, liberal, and secular. Anything smacking of religion in general and Christianity in particular is looked upon with distain if not borderline hostility.  Heck, if you believe in God you have a mental illness. Wokness is their religion.

The supermajority Democrats have codified abortion on demand into our constitution. And if you’re a Christian school that objects to biological males competing against their girl’s teams will be thrown under the bus.

So it might be understandable that some Christian folk would want to believe that the recent deluge and floods were a sign that God was not pleased with Vermont. This is misguided and not according to scripture.

Liberals claim to be the “party of science” (except biology, trans ideology trumps that). And while they may laugh at soapbox prophets predicting the second coming of Christ, they truly believe that climate armageddon is imminent unless we dismantle modern civilization, and give total control of your life over to them, the ruling class, the new world order.

 I’ve often regarded San Francisco and Los Angeles as America’s version of Sodom and Gomorrah. Someday they will be destroyed, and God will have nothing to do with it, it will all be San Andreas’s fault. Plate tectonics baby, SCIENCE!

 

Alaska was a lot of fun, but it’s good to be home.

A settlement was reached…

It is a victory for free speech, unfortunately, the cost will be borne by the taxpayers of the town.

 

A Vermont school district punished a father and his daughter for speaking out against a biological male in the girls’ locker room. Now, The Daily Signal has learned, the district has settled with the Allen family in what its legal team is hailing as a “resounding victory.”

That settlement requires that the Vermont School Boards Insurance Trust pay $125,000 in damages and attorneys’ fees and costs to Travis Allen and Jessica Allen, on behalf of their daughter, Blake Allen, and their attorneys with the Alliance Defending Freedom.

Under the settlement, the district will reinstate Travis Allen, the father, as middle school soccer coach, and will scrub any records of discipline against Travis Allen and daughter Blake from school records.
Further, the settlement requires the Orange Southwest School District Board and school officials named in the Allens’ lawsuit to remove any content posted online by the school related to the locker room business as well as from the bulletin board or boards at Randolph Union Middle/High School displaying “love and support” messages to the trans-identifying student.
The Alliance Defending Freedom hailed the settlement as a huge win for the Allen family.

 

Of course, none of this money is going to come from the pockets of the school administrators, either from their salaries or their pensions. Perhaps if this was the case then school administrators might be more circumspect when trampling on the free speech rights of people they despise.  

But when you consider that this is what the majority of Vermont citizens voted for, it would be natural for school administrators to believe that the State Courts and public opinion had their backs. I have zero sympathy for the taxpayers of Randolph Vermont.

Fortunately, the road to serfdom has not been as smooth as our “progressive” overlords” had hoped, and the tyranny of the majority at least temporally checked. 

 

 

 

I sent an e-mail to Governor Abbot of Texas.

I asked the Governor of Texas why the Democrat Progressive Peoples Republic of Vermont has been overlooked as a dumping destination point for the thousands of migrants that are swarming over Joe Biden’s open southern border into his State of Texas. 

 

Vermont is deep blue progressive, and no urban center is as deep blue as Burlington Vermont. I have often described Vermont as the nation’s largest liberal gated community. 

 

It’s also the safest state in the nation to virtue signal from.

 

The State voted overwhelmingly for Joe Biden(‘s) [open borders] as President and one-party rule at home.  

 

Vermont is a sanctuary State, and Burlington is a sanctuary city.

 

Why should Martha’s Vineyard, Washington D.C., New York City, and Chicago reap all that “diversity”?

 

I would like to see about six busloads of migrants suddenly appear at the bus station in downtown Burlington. Surely the Progressive people of Burlington, college students included, will line up to take them into their homes and dorm rooms. It may be a mild winter so far but it’s still cold and nasty.

 

Texas and Vermont were the only two states who were independent republics before joining the Union. Hopefully, Texas will send some of these migrants Vermont’s way so Progressives will finally get to walk the walk.

 

 

 

 

Burlington is becoming a true “blue” city

Vermont’s queen city has been “deep blue” in its politics since 1981, the year Bernie Sanders was elected mayor by 10 votes. It’s only fairly recently that the City of Burlington has started to emulate so many other “blue” shithole cities like Los Angeles, Portland Oregon, Seattle, Chicago, and New York.

 

As of this writing, there have been 22 shooting incidents in Burlington.

Visitors also take notice of Burlington’s uptick in gun violence. So far there have been 22 gun incidents in the city this year, including an officer-involved shooting.

Just last weekend two people were shot near a bar closing which prompted a heavy Vermont State Police presence at the request of the city in Burlington’s downtown.

A stark contrast to what some people remember.

“It wasn’t as bad as it is now. I have been hearing so many more reports. Hearing so many more ambulances, fire trucks, that kind of stuff, and it’s disheartening, to say the least,” explains UVM student Jaya Bennett.

This is what you progressives and democrats in Burlington voted for. BLM, de-fund the police, open(southern) borders, a sanctuary city, what the hell were you expecting?

 

Things were bad enough that Mayor Weinberger(D) had to call in the State Police.

Unfortunately, more than a few people seem more scared of law and order  

 

Burlington City Councilor Joe Magee, P-Ward 3, doesn’t think adding officers with guns is the solution to the problems the city is seeing. “The fact that we had 10 state troopers down on Church Street Saturday night is frightening for a lot of people in the community,” Magee said.

I think the cops should declare “Ward 3” a no-go zone and let everyone there fend for themselves.

 

The reason people are fleeing shithole democrat-run cities and headed for New England, Vermont in particular is that their George Soros-funded district attorneys that they voted in, decided to give criminals carte blanche to intimidate, assault, rob, and murder. 

 

Burlington Vt., the largest metro area in the nation’s largest gated community has just been behind the curve and has taken a year or two to catch up.

 

What’s shocking is that these people have no clue that this is what always results when you vote for your leftist ideology/religion.

 

Now Texas should ship about 500 or so migrants on buses and have them dropped off on Church street. That would be very interesting to watch.

 

 

Vermont screams “White Privilege”

 

It appears that our Rino governor is one of the most popular in the nation. This same article, states that Joe Biden has a 93% approval rating among Democrats in Vermont.  
How can supposedly intelligent people be this disconnected from reality?

 

It’s no secret that Vermont is a deep, deep, blue state.  It is also one of the most secular. One of the charms of small Vermont towns and villages was the churches and their distinctive steeples. Sadly many are closed and more just hanging on with an aging congregation.

 

Today, many people have abandoned Judeo-Christianity in favor of cultural Marxist political ideology in which atheism is its central pillar. This transformation did not happen overnight but slowly throughout past generations via the vessel of taxpayer-funded education indoctrination. 

 From the demographics of Vermont, it’s obvious that Vermont is a very “white” state. It is often considered one of the safest states in the country.

It has very few restrictions to gun ownership, no permit needed for concealed carry. Of course, these laws or lack thereof predate by decades the progressive liberal playground that Vermont is today. And the libs find this somewhat embarrassing.

 

Perhaps it’s because scenes like this have yet to appear in the more urban areas of Vermont. Upper middle class and affluent white voters (women in particular) What’s been happening in liberal blue cesspits

around the country hasn’t quite reached Vermont…yet.

 

That’s one reason I think for the seemingly total disconnect and also their total acceptance of what the mainstream media tells them and if the mainstream media doesn’t report on something it’s because it doesn’t fit the leftist narrative. So don’t concern yourself with it.
But do liberal democrat Vermonters truly believe in this ideology or are they virtue-signaling hypocrites putting on a show from their safe-space white privilege neighborhoods.

 

So if and when real political (criminal) violence comes to white privileged Vermont will law and order prevail? 

 

Or since all white people are racist are we just getting what we deserve.

 

 

 

Or is liberalism a mental illness? especially when it comes to women.

Bernie was right!

And so was Barack

Not that long ago back in 2010; during the Obama’s administration, the Supreme Court in a then landmark decision called “Citizens United”

Barack ‘O’ denounced the decision.

“It is a major victory for big oil, Wall Street banks, health insurance companies and the other powerful interests that marshal their power every day in Washington to drown out the voices of everyday Americans,” Obama said.

Bernie was apocalyptic over it

The DISCLOSE Act narrowly passed in the House of Representatives but has repeatedly failed to clear the Senate—even when it was controlled by Democrats. Undaunted, Sanders has tirelessly spoken—and acted—against Citizens United. At a March 2011 town hall event in his home state of Vermont, he blasted the Supreme Court for “unleashing a tsunami of corporate spending in politics” and “making a disastrous situation much, much worse.” He continued:

For the first time in American history, corporations who are sitting on trillions of dollars… and making record profits can now… spend as much money as they want… for or against candidates. What does this mean in real life? Candidates, knowing that millions and millions of dollars can come flowing into their campaigns… when they come up to cast their vote in the Senate, what do you think is on [their] minds? If you are dealing with whether or not it is a good idea for the four largest financial institutions in the country to own more than half of the assets of our GDP, do you think you’re going to cast a vote to break [them] up, when you know that Wall Street can spend millions and millions of dollars… to defeat you? If you are sympathetic… to moving this country to Medicare for All… how willing to you think members of the Senate will be to vote to move in that direction when you know the power of the private insurance companies? 

“[Americans] for hundreds of years have been fighting to say, ‘one person, one vote,’” he added. “Let’s have a democracy where money is not the key factor… as many people as possible should participate… Citizens United … essentially says that corporations and billionaires can… decide who will become president, senator or a governor. That is not what this country is about and that has got to be defeated.” A corporation is not a person,” Sanders concluded.

It’s ironic that“Citizens United “ was a 5-4 decision passed by the “conservative wing” and “John Roberts” of all people cast the deciding vote.

But what Bernie and Barack expected didn’t happen.

Since the start of the 20th century the conventional thinking was always that the Democrats were the party of the “little guy”; the “farmers”; “the working man” (Unions). Republicans were the party of capitalism, big business… i.e. corporations, and Billionaires.

’” he (Bernie) added. “Let’s have a democracy where money is not the key factor… as many people as possible should participate… Citizens United … essentially says that corporations and billionaires can… decide who will become president, senator or a governor.

My, my, how times have changed.

Corporations and the billionaires who owned/run them were once viewed as bourgeoisie capitalists, and the Marxist ideology predicted that the inevitable march of history would consign them to the ash heap of history.

Apparently a lot of billionaires like Tom Styer, Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos took this to heart and decided to get ahead of the curve and not only join the revolution but co-opt it as well. They’re now all on your side Bernie.

You’ve got the billionaire :Nazi collaberator George Soros. Social media giants Mark Zuckerburg and Jack Dorsey who decide who gets to speak and who’s told to shut up on their media platforms. The executive team at Youtube who enforce strict algorithms that will demonitize and/or ban video’s that don’t meet their criteria or political leanings.. Because these are privite “CORPORATIONS” they can legally censure you. “Freedom of speech” doesn’t apply to them.

Big Business (corporations), the Chambers of Comerace and the NCAA is on board too. In South Dakota they’ve coerced the Governor to veto a bill that was meant to protect girls sports programs from men masquerading as women. In the State of Georgia, gone “woke” corporations such as ,Delta, American, and Southwest airlines (Altlanta’s a major hub) Coca-Cola and Major League Baseball, have have decided to use economic blackmail to halt common sense voting reform.

There was a time when very wealthy people were scared shitless of a politcal ideology that since the begining of the 20th century has demonized their very existance. So one would think that their poitical leanings would be conservative/republican. But as we’ve all seen, too many Republican politicians will simply run away at any critical moment. Secondly three generations of leftist indoctrination have made their mark as corporate board rooms are filled with SJW’s in busuness suits. And third, the Democrat/Progressive/Marxist have not one but two militant arms (Antifa and BLM) that are not afraid to pay you and your family a visit with their version of pitchforks and torches.

The “mostly peaceful:” rioting and burning of blue cities over the course of last summer also destroyed thousands of small businesses and allow huge corporations such as Jeff Bezo’s Amazon to get all the more bigger and the rich to get richer.

This was partly made possible by the “Citizen United” decision. And Wall Street and the Democrat’s perfered brand of socialism is Corporate Facism. It’s “all within the State, nothing outside the State, nothing against the State” . Was this what Bernie and Barack were afraid would happen? Do you still denouce the ‘SCOTUS’ decision?

Will Antifa and the Marxist Blacks Lives Matter get with the program now that the bad Orangeman is out and dementia Joe is in? Time will tell. But as long as American Corporations continue paying ‘tribute and protection money’ an uneasy peace may be maintained.

I’m glad I’m old.

Has it come to past?

America as founded: July 4th 1776 – Jan 20th 2021

If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – forever.

George Orwell

Now this guy said:

If destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author ...

We done did it Abe, too many drank the kool aid. Oh, and by the way Abe, you’ve been canceled because [they’ve] determined that deep down you were really a ‘white supremacist.

In a way our Constitution was kind of a suicide pact. As John Adams had elouquently stated:

Art of Facts: ILLUMINATI BEHIND GLOBAL GOVERNMENT

We were given “freedom of speech”, assembly, and of the press”, and those whose desire for the “equality of outcomes” (progressives, socialist,communist) instead of the “equality of opportunity” employed these very freedoms to undermine and destroy the morality and faith of of the past 3-4 generations of American youth.

There are those of us old enough to remember the “Berkeley free speech movment” of 1964-65, and of their demands for academic freedom which was to engage in political agitation and indoctranation in the guise of discussion and debate. The quagmire of the Vietnam war could not have been better timed.

But give credit where it’s due, they played the long game. They took over academia, including K-12. They took over civil governments both Federal and State through coruption (Soros money), the duping of the low information voter, and outright voter fraud.

The collosal media Corporations (both mainstream and social) are owned by billionaire’s who gained their enormus wealth through free enterprise and free markets but who either embrace Marxist ideology (because capitalism has to come before Marxism) or they just want to keep the mobs with torches and pitchforks i.e. “Antifa” (fascist claiming to be anti-fascist) and “BLM” a Marxist organization disguised as an ant- racsist organization.

Remember hearing about the infamous Hollywood blacklist of the 1950’s. Well it depends on who’s doing the blacklisting. Today of course it’s called Cancel culture

The late great El-Rusbo used to say that there will always be an America in some form, the problem being that it’s not the same country we, who were born in the fifties, sixties and seventies grew up in and remember. The youth have been indoctrinated since the seventies that their county has been rotten all the way back to its founding and like the slowly boiling frog we failed to notice (or didn’t want to) until it was far to late.

Now of course the “Democrats” control the Presidency through Puppet Joe. The House and the Senate. And a Supreme Court majority that feels it can fold the Constitution into paper airplanes and toss them out the window. They are raming through new laws legitimizing voter fraud on a massive scale to insure one party rule for the foreseeable future and the American economy, and American freedoms be damned. Now as the law of the land: Vote by mail, election day registration, non citizens (illegal aliens) and criminals allow to vote; and do it early and often.

The only way that I can see America pulling out of this headlong dive into the abyss is if…if millions of voters who legitimetly voted for Joe Biden and the Democrats because of “Orangeman bad” or that voting democrat makes them “WOKE” and not fear being canceled, might possably realize that perhaps things are going a little to far to fast, especially when it starts to affect their pocketbooks and thier own freedoms. Maybe, but it’s so hard to admit to oneself that maybe…just maybe you might have been wrong. Especially when that day comes when they’re coming after you. Because they discovered that you haven’t been “WOKE” enough.

I’m glad I’m old.

Why yes, Springsteen is a P.O.S.

Via Louder with Crowder

Aging multi-millionaire rock star whose ass has been kissed for nearly fifty years. He uses the working mans schitck to hide the fact that he’s an elitiest and has nothing but contempt for real working people who happen to have different opinions and beliefs then he does.

Recently we’ve found out that last November that he was citied for DUI. Ah, no big deal of course.

I know he’s famous for his four hour concerts and I don’t begrudge him a dime of the millions he has earned. Heck, at one time long ago I was even a fan and bought a few of his albums.

But like many others of his kind: Hollywood celebrities and high tech social media entrepreneurs; who utilized their talents along with ‘American Free Enterprise’ to become crazy wealthy and powerful beyond even their own wildest dreams. So much so that it became embarrasing. So what they did to alleviate this embarrasment was to embrace leftist political ideology.

Marxism in a nutshell promises a utopia that “from everyone according to his ability, to everyone according to his needs”. One pillar of Marxism is that under Capitalism the working class is exploited by large corporations and the billionairs who control them. Our corporate and political overlords had the foresight to see which way the wind was blowing these past few decades and decided to simply purchase the party of revolution so that they would be in the drivers seat and insure that no mobs with pitchforks and torches would ever come after them.

Muti-millionaire Bruce Springsteen masquerading as a proletariat to preach to us about “coming togeter” but only under their thumb.

Stick it where the sun don’t shine Bruce.
