Quotable Quotes

 


Insisting that life’s outcomes must always be fair for everyone in every way … is irrational and unattainable.— Fletcher


It’s like trying to guarantee that everyone wins the race … being woke nonsense. — Fletcher



STAND UP TO RQUITY!


Tucking in with Tucker

 


Tucker Carlson is still alive … but for how long? (The Diplomad was just put in Twitter jail.) Anyhow, if you want to stay up on what Tucker is saying, watch his latest program on the Common Cents blog.


His message is anti-Ukraine-war … please don’t mistake this as pro-Russia … although he will be so accused … and a warning against Gavin Newsom as the growingly-clear reliever for Joey Mumbles on the mound.


Pilgrim, I am getting the feeling that Tucker’s influence is fading despite 85 million views on this Twitter post … see: Observer article. The Murdochs (and Paul Ryan) are not to be trifled with.

In a remarkable discovery at John Hopkins Medical Center, it is now known that chromosomes are no longe found in pairs … they are in triads! And this is why all the current gender confusion has occurred. As a way of showing examples of this novel revelation, scientists offer the following possible examples of these new unnamed genders:


XXX - Marilyn Monroe

XXY - Michelle Obama

XYX - RuPaul

XYY - John Wayne

Q and A

 


Question: What are the pronoun pukes going to do with all the penises cut off of the currently gender-confused young boys?

(Scroll down for the answer.)















Answer: They plant them to grow more Democrats.



STAND UP TO MUTILATION!


Bribes

 

Sorry, lost the reference credit

Taking bribes … or bribing your voters … or both?



STAND UP TO BRIBERY!


Party of Shame

 


The House Democrats chanted, “Shame! … Shame! … Shame!” after the Republicans censured Adam Schiff for his repeated lies about Trump-Russian collusion while he chaired the Intelligence Committee. They then gathered around him to cheer him on. And it is anticipated he will soon take Diane Feinstein’s place in the Senate.


This is just a vignette in the bigger drama of the collapse of the Democrat party into complete depravity.


Where are this party’s Herbert Humphreys? … this party’s Sam Nunns? … this party’s Barbara Jorden’s?


The Democrats are happily led by a corrupt tyrant who has sold his soul to the Chinese. And the party’s upper echelons are filled with immoral pipsqueaks … Nancy Pelosi, Merrick Garland, Anthony Blinken, Alejandro Mayorkas, Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom … and on and on!


A convincing case can be made that Democrats as a group hate America and are trying to reform it into a diverse, inclusive, LGBTQ+, equity-driven Venezuela.

Loyalty



If you can’t be loyal, don’t take the job. — Fletcher

 

Bill Clinton achieved loyalty partly through the possibility of Arkancide and fear of his wife.


George W. Bush had very spotty loyalty … mostly with neoconservatists.


Barack Obama achieved loyalty by drawing around him Saul Alinsky and climate change devotees. Also fear of being called a racist helped.


Donald Trump had very few loyalists … mostly due to his inexperience in government.


Joe Biden achieves loyalty through the Obama acolytes and fear of what Trump might do to upset the deep-state apple cart.



STAND UP FOR LOYALTY!

Signal-to-Noise Ratio



Because of a reader who, for whatever reason, relisheses in diminishing me and this blog, I have started looking more carefully at the statistics supplied by Blogspot to see what influence hits have on the signal-to-noise ratio here. In my Thanks a Millio blog post, I said:


Again, as best I can determine, my readership may be as many as a hundred real individuals … with 40 to 60 reading any individual post. And, since I publish 4 to 6 entries a day, my daily totals usually run between 200 and 400. When the bots kick in … about once a month … the number can be around a 1000 … lately, even more.


And I will stick by these numbers by looking at the hits to individual posts and correlating them to the “normal” daily totals. And yes, about once a month these numbers are not normal as thee daily totals pop closer to one thousand for a few days … and they do NOT correlate to what is happening with individual blog posts.


Of late, even this anomaly has gone off the tracks because daily hits are running two to three thousand … mostly from Singapore … clearly bot driven. And I still can’t figure out why this blog should be so targeted … particularly since neither I nor Blogspot really benefit or are punished from this gratuitous very low signal-to-noise ratio.



STAND UP FOR GOOD DATA!


Another View of the Wagner Group Coup

 


The following is an anonymous comment on a recent Diplomad blog post. It struck me as quite plausible, so I offer it here:


“I've figured out how and why this 24 hour "coup" happened - the idiots in the US State Dept offered the Wagner guy $6 billion to attack Vlad (remember the 'missing' six billion from the Pentagon?). The Wagner guy saw an opportunity to screw America so he called Vlad up and they decided to split the $6 billion between them with a few hundred million peeled off for Lukashenko to act as the negotiator. Wagner pretends to attack Moscow, Vlad pretends to care, then after not even 24 hours have gone by they pocket the $6 billion, call off the fake coup, and lift a giant middle finger to GloboHomo and the US.”

 

Would mimic other such ineptitude here at home. If Prigozhin is not soon room temperature, this notion has more credence.



STAND UP TO FECKLESSNESS!

 

Chris Christie

 


Saw Chris Christie on “Sunday Morning with GS.” And it is obvious he is in the presidential race to win. How do I know this? He is noticeably thinner … and his policies sound very Trump-like.


One problem … Christie smells very much of the swamp.


Afterward: Being a former federal prosecutor, Christie must feel that Trump will be wounded enough by a conviction on, at least, the secret documents charge.

Advice



I have a simple suggestion for the Wagner Group’s leader Prigozhin … while in Belarus, don’t go near any upper story open windows.



STAND UP TO DEFENESTRATION!


The Evidence Mounts

 


“I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled. I am very concerned that the Chairman has either changed his mind and broken our deal without telling me or that he is unaware of the promises and assurances that have been made that have not been kept.” 

“Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight. And, Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the Chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction. I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father.” — Hunter Biden’s WhatsApp decoded text message to his Chinese business partner from Joe Biden’s home in Wilmington, Delaware … as disclosed by the IRS whistleblower.


Days after Hunter’s threatening WhatsApp text, $5 million rolled in (from China).

Putin and Prigozhin

Has the long-delayed and relatively flaccid Ukraine “spring offensive” presaged the Wagner Group insurrection? My spider senses tell me that some entity (NATO?) got to the Wagner Group’s leader, Prigozhin, and offered him more pelf to switch sides? Watch for Biden’s reaction to this possibility.

In the upcoming female cycling championship a born-male competitor will most certainly win this event. This of course is grossly unfair.


The solution to this inequity is simple — every female cyclist should refuse to compete in this sham … leaving Emily Bridges (née Zach Bridges) to compete by himself.


Afterward: The reason I published a picture of Bridges before he transitioned was to show that growing long his hair and wearing a padded bra doesn’t make him a woman. To me, he is a craven opportunist.

One day after Hunter Biden accepted a guilty plea deal that downgraded his two years of not filing tax returns and a felony gun charge to a misdemeanors /diversion … and the apparent cover-up of money laundering, unregistered foreign agent and influence peddling charges … he had his lawyers file a lawsuit against the DOJ for $20 million for prosecutorial misconduct.


And, amazingly, The Big Guy’s DOJ promptly settled this claim for half that amount … and it’s tax free!
