where in the world is gina haspel?

she is the rosetta stone to "the steal."   where is she?   alive, or dead?

p.s.   and, since we're talking about "the steal," why has the loud-mouthed son-of-a-bitch john brennan disappeared from public view?  for fear he'll open his yap one-too-many times(?), letting the cat out of the bag, so to speak.

microsoft "updates" .....

after about 2 years getting an old dell optiplex 755 up and running, it was doing o.k.   so, i made firefox my "default" browser, and within 24 hours microsoft wants to "update" my computer, for free.

so, i did.   for "free."

the upshot of it all, is that things that had been running, suddenly are no longer running, but, microsoft prompts have offers on programs to fix "the problem."

what an absolute gang of butt holes.   they have about all the subtlety of being run over by a tank.

"there's no reason ...." the world according to the left ....

"there's no reason anyone should have assault weapons."

"there's no reason anyone should think for themselves."

"there's no reason anyone should speak their own mind."

"there's no reason anyone's vote should be counted."

"there's no reason ... ."

and, given all that, to the left there is no reason anyone should pay any attention, whatsoever, to the constitution.   nor, to the history and the thought that went behind its adoption.   no goddamned reason, whatsoever.

and, there is no reason why anyone should be allowed to take, enunciate and act upon any contrary reason.   none whatsoever.   according to the left.

i take a contrary view, however, for many reasons.   almost all of them found in our history and our constitution, grounded in the works of locke, hobbest, blackstone, jay, hamilton, madison, jefferson and adams.   i'll stick with them.  (and, i can articulate my reasons for doing so with no small clarity, and persuasion.)***  and, i'll fight for the preservation of their views, and of mine.

simple as that.

for those reasons, the dimmo's should tread very carefully.   the world is a place of consequence, sometimes very harsh.

john jay @ 04.20.2021

p.s.   and, to the leftists/progressives, there "... is no reason for free thought divergent from theirs."    you can look it up, in the history of the 20th century.   it's all there, quite clearly.

the black lady appointed as ambassador to the u.n., for the u.s., complaines of u.s. racism ....

well, as noted before, those black people complaining of u.s. racism tend to be somewhat privileged, well educated, and vociferous about u.s. racism.

so, let me inquire, how many black women have ever been appointed as ambassador to the united nations by:

    --any black african nation

    --any african nation

    --any european state or nation

    --any nation or state of the english commonwealth, to include canada, or, for that matter

    --any other state on the face of the earth.

i am not sure, but, i expect not very many blacks, from any other state/nation, aside from the black african nations, have been appointed as ambassador to the u.n.: (lots of black males running around the u.n.)    but, i would guess that damned few black african women have ever received appointments to such prestigious diplomatic posts.

i suspect that whatever the results are, (and i expect only a paucity of such appointments of black women have ever occurred), it will not prevent the other member states of the united nations from beating the united states about the head and shoulders over this "issue."

such is politics, and the u.s. is the socialist whipping boy for all the world's ill.***   as bugs bunny, noted, it is to laugh, it is to cry.

***do not forget who pays the lion's share of the funding of the united nations.  and, who's military power has kept the world relatively peaceful for the last 75 years.)**** i have always maintained the u.n. should be shipped off the north american continent and located somewhere appropriate, say, for instance, in lagos, nigeria.  (actually, that just came to me.   as good a place as any.)

****you think such an assertion nonsense?  well, google up the history of war in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, and you will find that from the emergence of the u.s. since the end of wwii, the world has been a relatively peaceful place.  it is an inescapable conclusion, if you know the history of things.

 

dear steven forbes .....

.....  you will always have a smaller penis than donald john trump.   get over it.  be content with what you have.

assessing the covid-19 "pandemic" ....

1.  the dimmos used it effectively to oust donald john trump from the white house.   the republicans never figured out how to counter the strategy, though it was pitifully obvious.

2.  i can speak only to the state of oregon, but, here is how seriously the state of oregon assessed the "pandemic."  no matter how many "emergency" measures proclaimed by oregon's dwarf governor, d. kate brown, at no time were the state liquor stores ever closed, and at no time did the state of oregon stop selling alcohol out of those stores.

public schools were closed.   public gatherings were restricted and/or banned.   college sporting events were suspended.  church services were disfavored, but, at no time did brown ever quite match the stupidity of new york politicians cuomo and de blasio.  

but, i repeat, the state of oregon did not stop selling booze.   hootch.   rot gut.   nor did it regulate very closely the traffic in and out of them.

that's how serious the "pandemic" was.  in other words, not serious enough to stop the sale of booze.   think*** about that, sheeple.

***can you get your heads around that?

who makes d'angelico guitars? ..... in particular, the d'angelico mini premier dc xt now issuing .....

my guess is that the new mini premier dcxt d'angelico guitar, a semi-hollow body obviously modeled on the gibson es-339, is gonna look quite a bit like my ibanez artcore am93, also inspired by the gibson.

my ibanez is also constructed of laminated layers of wood, in the case of the ibanez that being linden and ______??_______, whereas the other two are layers of poplar and maple, with a solid maple beam running the length of the body.   the furniture/appointments of the d'angelico are going to be nicer, with seymour duncan sh-2 and sh-4 pickups installed as an added bonus.

the d'angelico xt has a flamed maple top, and a vintage burst paint job, dark brown and a sort of golden light brown  ....  a handsome combination of parts, as all seem to agree.   it should be a bit better guitar than the ibanez, but, they will not be separated by light years, as the ibanez is a good unit.   as i learned in baby economics class, the market value of something lies in the marginal increments of quality, over and above the standard issue gizmo.  (in this case, the feel and "improved tone," if perceptible in all cases, will determine the price differential.  kind of a buick versus cadillac sort of thing, if you will.)

i suspect that the d'angelico and the ibanez are being made under the same roof(s), the d'angelico assembled most likely in los angeles, california.   that is, btw, just where ibanez has its "custom shop."  it would be nice to have the two together, for a side by side comparison.  very nice, indeed.

computer modem chips hooking voting machines to the net, and to control over the net .... photo proof ....

https://gellerreport.com/2021/04/mi-election-fraud-modem-chips.html/     

you want proof of computer control of voting machines over the internet?    look to the above article.   if you don't understand that "the steal" was real, you need to reassess your position.   it is as simple as that.

and, the implications of this could not be any more grave.

john jay @ 04.12.2021

 

p.s.   time to take your head out of your ass, plain and simple, if you doubt "the steal."

update, 04.14.2021 .   absolutely no interest nor response to this post.   zero.   nichts.   nada.   zilch.    "the steal" is complete.   forgotten.   this is how democracy dies, from lack of interest or commitment.   end of discussion.  end update.

no. 2 update, 04.14.2021 .   where is gina hapsel?    huh?   what's that you say?   this is also how democracy dies, not with a groan or a scream, but with a whimper.   end of discussion.   end update no. 2, this date.

work hard, stay humble .....

traveling from yakima, washington to home, i pulled off the freeway at zillah, washington to supplement breakfast, and to hit the head.   back to the freeway, and across the street from the local mickie d's, i saw this sign at a construction site.  "work hard, stay humble" it said.

and, i thought of the blm and antifa protests, violence, thuggery and property damage of the past couple of years.

blm.  antifa.  and, their destruction.

work hard.  stay humble.  the essence of building, and creation.

which do you think is the more productive strategy over the long haul?    i know which i think is so.

john jay @ 04.11.2021

p.s.   to the cardiologist tomorrow afternoon.  i'll see how my aneurysms and kidney cysts "are doing."   and, if the ticker is still trundling along productively.  ("ejection fractions" and all that stuff.)   maybe i should have been a little more mindful of the long haul when i was a good deal younger, eh?   i don't think a hissy fit will change things, no so very much.

as, in all things, you get what your work for, and what your deserve, and what you strive for.  generally speaking, simply demanding what you want in and of itself, doesn't lend itself to the attainment of goals, hardly ever.   work hard.   stay humble.   look to the long haul.  do your part.

and, quit your fucking bitching.

"smug" plus "pompous" does not equal "moral" ....

the left believes that because it asserts something that somehow establishes a "moral" and "just" assertion.

it does not.   it does, however, establish a very irritating "self righteousness."

so, the equation stands, "smug" + "pompous" ='s "self righteous."   that is the limit, the very real limit, of the left's ability to persuade.   this is why, friends, the left also has "riot," "property damage," "assault" and "looting" in its quiver, to establish political dominance.   what it cannot do by persuasion and logic, it will establish by violence and thuggery.   and, trust me when i say, you may rightfully view pelosi, schumer and biden as nothing more than self righteous thugs.***

***if you truly believe in your little heart of hearts that the dimmo's do not control the antics of blm and antifa, then you are truly delusional, in a profoundly self serving sort of way.  imho.
