I'll just leave this here...

Joe Biden suffers a hairline foot fracture after slipping while playing with his dog...

 

If you don't see it, it didn't happen

Remember quantum mechanics people, observing the process changes the outcome.  

Officials “halted” mail-in ballot counting in Philadelphia following a court order allowing GOP observers to watch the vote count — a ruling that Democrats are now looking to challenge.

Philadelphia paused the count around noon Eastern on Thursday after Democrats took an issue with a court ruling allowing Republican watchers to stand six feet from those counting the ballots.

What is happening is precisely what Steve Bannon predicted in the following interview.  This is exactly why I have refrained from pulling my bet from Predictit.  I have no need to minimize my losses because I only bet discretionary money... that and the fact that I know Trump hates being a loser more than anything.

More convincing than ads

What do these images of boarded up businesses tell the local population?  

 

Though Goodwill has supposedly changed their mind, the images of Goodwill preparing for the leftist violence will be burned into memory of the liberal white suburban women who were thinking of voting for Biden.  I hear stories about how Trump will be winning 15% of the black vote as well, and while I think that may be a fantasy, if it materializes, the extra liberal white women and the minority population combined will all but guarantee a Trump landslide.  

Businesses are unintentionally sending a message and it's a clear message to vote for Trump. 

I have bet a small portion of my discretionary money on the election.  Most on a generic Trump victory, but I also put money down on him winning Virginia as well.  I recommend you prepare for the celebration with your favorite celebratory beverage and well maintained firearms. 

 

Equality vs Equity

Kamala Harris is pushing the narrative towards the lies of equality and equity.

“So there’s a big difference between equality and equity,” Harris said in a video posted to her Twitter account on Sunday. The video featured an illustration of two individuals about to climb a mountain. Each was given two ropes, which a white man used to begin climbing. The other man, who appeared to be black, was unable to reach the rope, as he stood several feet lower than the other man.

“Equality suggests ‘Oh everyone should get the same amount.’ The problem with that, not everybody’s starting out from the same place. So if we’re all getting the same amount, but you started out back there and I started out over here — we could get the same amount, but you’re still going to be that far back behind me,” the narration continued.

“It’s about giving people the resources and the support they need so that everyone can be on equal footing and then compete on equal footing,” she continued as the video showed the fruitful ground rising the man up to the original level of the white man, where he then grabbed the rope and climbed up to the peak.

“Equitable treatment means we all end up at the same place,” she concluded

How about neither.  The only thing the government should guarantee is that there is judgement for committing evil.  Both equal and equitable treatment wrongly assumes that you can do nothing without some sort of governmental action.  Since the churches have been so far converged,  they are unable to organize effective charity.  The best way to get a leg up is to stop listening to lies.  Repent, change your mind about your ways, and start working to show a glory that is not your own.

Sex on the radio

A writer at HuffPost attempts to convince that she is not trying to be salacious, just trying to convince everyone else to be.

In May of this year, we did an hour-long show about the porn industry. We featured a North Carolina artist working on a virtual exhibit that aims to normalize people’s varied sexual fantasies; a queer adult filmmaker who lets participants guide much of the erotic content they film; and the co-founder of a new audio erotica app.

Before the show even hit the airwaves, we began to hear from listeners concerned that the topic was “inappropriate for the middle of the day.” While we still got some notes of concern and disapproval after the show aired, there were also responses like this one from a therapist: “I’m sure that today’s show resonated with many people, and that many of those folks might still be embarrassed to write or call in with their support. But on behalf of myself and so many of the clients I work with to disentangle their sexuality from their experiences of shame, THANK YOU.”

I have no desire to throw the listeners who do not like my content under the bus, nor do I aspire to change anyone’s mind about pornography or sexuality. But what I wish they could hear is this: The reason I want to have conversations about these topics in the middle of the day on live public radio is not to be salacious. It is because I firmly believe that the longer that we keep conversations about sex, relationships and health in the realm of “not for public discourse,” the longer we’ll stay locked into singular narratives that keep us from really knowing ourselves and each other more deeply. If we can recognize that humans are sexual creatures who are wired to have desire and seek pleasure, we can have meaningful dialogue that could serve to integrate aspects of our identity without contributing to the harm of other people.

While she may not be trying to be salacious specifically, she is absolutely trying to normalize a worldview full of salacious, sexually deviant ideas.  Society used to keep this content under wraps, anything explicit was private for a reason.  The writer's intent is to change your society and to change your behavioral patterns.  If she is successful in doing that, she will have brought us yet another step closer to losing ourselves to a bastardized culture that embraces the wicked and perverse.

Instead of shilling for tolerance incessantly, it's time that Christians start preaching repentance again.

Fauci waffles again

Regardless of the varying degrees of belief in the novel coronavirus I've seen in my peers, the degree of belief bestowed upon the establishment officials has dwindled.

So “if people are not wearing masks,” Fauci concluded moments later, “then maybe we should be mandating it” (video below. Relevant portion begins at 3:49).

As for CNN’s later claim that the doctor called for a federal law, perhaps this is wishful thinking. Or maybe the station was reading Fauci’s heart and mind, and such a divination certainly wouldn’t be fanciful. More likely it was sloppy reporting in which the writers’ own statist assumptions influenced their interpretation.   

But more damaging is the deceptive and deceitful reporting underlying this whole issue. First, Burnett in her interview lent the illusion — which Fauci happily capitalized upon — that the doctor has been a prudent, steady hand issuing sage counsel and sober warnings that went unheeded by the dastardly Donald Trump.

In reality, on January 21 and February 29, Fauci said the virus was not a major threat and that Americans didn’t have to change their behavior; moreover, he then claimed in an Easter Sunday interview that he’d advised the government to impose social-distancing measures in February. So he was either lying then or lying on February 29.

...

You’ll note that Sweden’s positive-case number did spike upwards beginning mid-September and has continued rising. So the media touting that are telling the truth — just not close to the whole truth.

As the second graph shows, the number of China virus deaths has remained constant, not spiking one iota, since July 31. Sweden had zero deaths Sunday and zero on Saturday. In fact, the week beginning Oct. 19 was the nation’s best since the “pandemic” began, with only two COVID deaths recorded (weekly charts below).

If you’d ask, “Why worry about increased ‘infections’ if the death numbers remain low and constant?” go to the head of the class. All Americans become infected with cold viruses (also in the corona category), and the WHO informs that 67 percent of people worldwide carry herpes simplex type 1, the “cold sore” virus. Yet we don’t worry about this because it’s health and life that matter, not whether our bodies carry microorganisms. That’s normal.

It'll be good to have four more years of swamp draining.  We can always do with fewer parasites.

 

The governed vs the ruled

Are you being governed, or ruled? 

Karl Manke, a 78-year-old barber in Owosso, Michigan, who has been cutting hair for 59 years, can rest a little easier. Charges for violating local health orders and defying Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s COVID mandates were dropped last Friday.

Manke gained national attention and notoriety as a “folk hero” among many who saw that Whitmer’s edicts went far beyond the law. When she shut down the state initially, Manke complied. But after she unilaterally extended her mandates beyond April 30 without gaining approval from the legislature to do so, Manke reopened his barbershop, saying at the time, “I feel the governor is not my mother, never has been.”

When reminded that he was violating Whitmer’s mandates, Manke said, “I could care less. If they want to put me in jail, put me in jail.… I will be governed … but not ruled. This is a police state action.”

Be careful of what what stands you take and be sure you're not fighting on the wrong side, however keep confidence.  We know what side ultimately wins.

Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment.  For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority?  Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. 

Romans 13:1-4a

Let them govern but never let them rule you.  The state exists to punish evildoers, not to exert tyrannical influence.

 

Who is the W.H.O.?

For people who claim to "follow the science", there is very little in the promethean media about this.

The World Health Organization has warned leaders against relying on COVID-19 lockdowns to tackle outbreaks — after previously saying countries should be careful how quickly they reopen.

WHO envoy Dr. David Nabarro said such restrictive measures should only be treated as a last resort, the British magazine the Spectator reported in a video interview.

“We in the World Health Organization do not advocate lockdowns as the primary means of control of this virus,” Nabarro said.

“The only time we believe a lockdown is justified is to buy you time to reorganize, regroup, rebalance your resources, protect your health workers who are exhausted, but by and large, we’d rather not do it.”

Nabarro said tight restrictions cause significant harm, particularly on the global economy.

“Lockdowns just have one consequence that you must never, ever belittle, and that is making poor people an awful lot poorer,” he said.

He added that lockdowns have severely impacted countries that rely on tourism.

“Just look at what’s happened to the tourism industry in the Caribbean, for example, or in the Pacific because people aren’t taking their holidays,” Nabarro told the outlet.

“Look what’s happened to smallholder farmers all over the world. Look what’s happening to poverty levels. It seems that we may well have a doubling of world poverty by next year. We may well have at least a doubling of child malnutrition.”

Considering the WHO and the CDC's constant flip flops on lockdowns and masks, why would the public ever believe them?  All this begs the question, is the system having withdrawal symptoms from being denied access to children for so long? 

 

The hope of boomers everywhere

In what do boomers hope?  That is the question I quickly reason an answer to after seeing this press regarding a Biden rally at The Villages.

Jeff Johnson, the state director for the Florida AARP, believes voters over 65 are more “in play” in this year’s presidential race, largely because of Trump’s handling of the pandemic. In recent weeks, Democrats have seized on this softening of support and have rolled out six ads targeting older voters.

In 2018, according to AP VoteCast, a survey of the American electorate conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago for The Associated Press, older Republicans thought immigration was the nation’s most important issue, while older Democrats said health care was. But this year, with the pandemic, concern about health care has become a top issue for both.

The Trump campaign seems to be paying attention. On Thursday, the president released a video of himself standing on the White House lawn in which he called older adults “my favorite people.” Noting that they are vulnerable to the virus, he asserted with no basis in fact that a medicine he said he was given in the hospital would be free to older people.

“The seniors are going to be taken care of,” he said.

That is not how it has played out so far. Not only has Florida been slammed by the virus, but also no other demographic has been affected more than older people. About 93% of Florida’s 15,100 deaths from the virus have been people 55 and older, and many are scared — and enraged.

“The whole virus thing has hit really hard here,” said Branscome, who pointed out that almost everyone in The Villages moved there from somewhere else. “We can’t go see our families because of COVID. I’m not seeing an end to it. There is no plan. Biden has a plan. He wears a mask. It gives us hope.”

Republicans for Biden says one sign.  When these boomers were more concerned with having to deal with illegals than the plandemic, they were all for Trump.  Now that they are getting nearer to the end the only thing they can think of is their own mortality.  

Their hope lies not in their children.  Their hope lies not in their grandchildren.  Their hope lies not in Christ.  Their hope lies only in passing comfort.  Now that the end is literally near, they are gasping for meaning in a world of their own device that horrifically devalued it.

An unholy baptism

What does it cost to assuage the guilt of racism? 

It took Andrea Einhaus years to walk into a Virginia tattoo parlor and ask them to cover up a tattoo associated with white supremacy on her back.

“I have to live every day with the guilt of being brought up racist,” Einhaus told “Nightline.” “You can make strides socially, be nice to your neighbor. … But when it's physically on you, and you're able to see that washed away from your body… It's almost like being baptized.”

Einhaus was only 17 years old when she was tattooed with the mark that’s widely celebrated by hate groups.

“It’s an iron cross,” she explained. “When you look at neo-Nazis today, they might have a swastika tattoo, they might have those two lightning bolt tattoos [or] they might have an iron cross.”

She said that at the time, she was aware of what people might think when they saw the cross, but it “didn’t bother” her.

“It's one of the stupidest things I've ever done,” she said. “I just kind of picked out a pattern and it wasn't intentional. It wasn't for me to brand, on my body, ‘I hate everybody different from me.’ It wasn't to brand on my body some form of a swastika.”

How much guilt can the Prometheans convince us to carry?  This girl obviously had no ill intent, and while probably not a smart decision, the worse decision will always be to accept the lies of condemnation.  This is the eventuality of perpetually living in year zero.  The past has no meaning and the present is a freshly formed prison.  

I suspect that a deeper reason for the guilt is simply because it's a cross and that is unacceptable to the ruling principalities.  She accepted the Lie as her lord and savior, and this unholy baptism is her new proclamation of faith.
