summer patriot, winter soldier

time was, i respected john bolton .... that time has passed ....

there was a time when i respected john bolton, but that time has passed.   i cannot respect a man who hasn't even a rudimentary knowledge of chess, for you see, he does not understand the difference between the pawn and the king.

he joins a long line of persons who, thinking themselves smarter than their employer, cannot understand why the employer does not do as he advises.   like all people afflicted with arrogance, (and bolton is very arrogant), he thinks that he should be running the show.   and, like all such persons, he is consumed by envy and petulance that fate has decreed that he be subordinate to those to whom he thinks himself superior.

so, we have the "tell all."   from what i am given to understand, this doesn't amount to much.   but, this doesn't matter to me.   bolton pledged to serve his master, to keep his blabber-mouth shut, and agreed to fall on his sword in the service of his master if it came to that.  instead, he squeals like a baby.  ....  tough guy, my ass, he is a sissy.   in his final act, he throws a tantrum, a little hissy fit, and demands the one thing he cannot command with dignity, and that is public attention.   it will fade, quickly enough.

so, bolton reveals himself as the crybaby that he is, and so consigns himself to oblivion.  i for one will provide no comfort during his fade to obscurity by buying his exercise in blabbery, and footing the bill.  teal'c, that worthy warrior in "stargate 1," holds that it is good to die well in battle, to accept one's fate while fighting bravely to prevent it, but not to bring dishonor on one's self by dying poorly.  (squealing like a baby, as it were.)

bolton has not passed from the world of politics by dying well.   he brings dishonor upon himself, revealing himself as less than a proper warrior.   he could not accept his role, and his position, his lot in life, and now weeps piteously before a pandering press.   he does not, and perhaps never has with his inflated ego, understood the difference between the king who decides, and the fawning courtier who advises.

he is now pariah, worthy only of jimmy fallon and the like.

i have an autographed book, somewhere, authored and signed by bolton, bought at a cpac convention some years ago.   it is yours, if you pay for shipping.  the jackass's last bray.

black lives matter .... a matter of personal discipline, rectitude ....

it has always been that simple.

changing the dismal statistics on the abortion of black children .... requires no burned buildiing ....

need i point out that american blacks could change the dismal statistics on black babies without burning down any black owned businesses, without rioting, and without the need for physical assault or murder?

just by using peaceable means, these horrific facts could be changed.   why haven't george soros and george soros put their considerable resources, in money and community organizing skills, towards altering this appalling situation.   well, i suppose maybe they'll get around to it, once they have installed themselves in power and maybe america into the first genuine socialist paradise.

read "concrete," or i suggest a little emma goldman, if you need to understand.  or, if you even care to understand.

p.s.  and, if you need to understand solzhenitsyn's patriotism, understand that he was a soviet artilleryman through most of world war ii, before being tossed into the gulag.  you do know about the gulag, don't you?

the absolute, immutable truth .... about black deaths .... and, yes, they matter ....

the absolute immutable truth about homicides in which persons of color die, is that the two biggest killers are planned parenthood and black mothers.   more, by quantum leaps and bounds, than young black males killing other young black males by firearms, knives and blunt trauma instruments.

there are about 11 to 12,000 criminal gun homicides in this country every year***, year in and year out, and a very high percentage of them involve young black males.  and, an overwhelming number of their killers are other black males.  

so, say every year, 7 or 8,000 young black males are killed by other black males.

the number of black children who die every year by abortion in america makes that number look very small, by direct comparison:  the last time i had cause to look the, slightly more than 25% of black children conceived every year die by abortion, sought by their mothers.

each black person killed unlawfully by police officers is a matter of concern.  the number of black children who die each year by abortion is a horror story, a blood letting of unimaginable magnitude.   yet the left says nothing about, or that margaret sanger saw abortion as a way to "ethnically cleanse" white america of blacks.

you question these assertions?  you challenge them?   then i suggest that you get off your dead ass and refute them.--  that is what the comment section is for.  but, understand, if you do, you will have to refute statistics on these matters compiled by the f.b.i. (published every year, compiled from stats generated by the states), and facts on "birth control."  i look forward to hearing from you.

*** and, this pales again, in comparison with deaths caused by medical malpractice.   each year in this country, well over 100,000 people die from what is delicately called "medical misadventure."  (in other words, doctor and hospital foul ups.)  since black comprise a significant proportion of the populace, i assume, that blacks number a fair number of the victims of medical malpractice.

you can look this up, too, if you doubt it.  go ahead.  if i am wrong, or wrong headed in your estimation, i'd like to hear about it.

seattle mayor jenny durkin is an absolute idiot .... she's nuttier than joe biden ....

seattle mayor jenny durkin calls the antifa occupation of the capital hill neighborhood "a block party."   this after arson, looting, and running the seattle police department out of a neighborhood station.

armed antifa have set up roadblocks in and out of the "capital hill autonomous zone," and issued demands to the seattle government.  by all accounts, life is not cordial in capital hill.   and, durkin says of this, that maybe there will be a "summer of love" just like in san francisco.

jay inslee.  jenny durkin.  what kind of idiots elect these kinds of idiots.   it is kind of mind boggling, in its own little way. 

john jay @ 06.12.2020

p.s.   the seattle times newspaper says nothing.  friends, buy guns, and lots & lots of ammo.   don't surrender them.

p.s.s.  the dimmo's are in cahoots with all this.   if you don't recognize this whole thing as loosing the "red guards" on our populace, you just aren't processing very well.   mao would be proud of the dimmo's, and george soros.

"jay inslee" is what happens, when ....

"jay inslee" is what happens when a politician is motivated to run for office because of personal ambition rather than service to a set of ideals and beliefs, and service to the public.

he doesn't know what to do, because he doesn't have any idea of what it is he wants to do, or is supposed to do, nor does he have any idea what ideas he serves.  he is as a man in a stupor, frozen to decide, because he has no idea why it is he is supposed to decide anything, other than election.

it is not as if the emperor has no clothes, it is simply that the suit of clothes are empty of a man serving his beliefs, other than ambition.  there is no man, in the man.

where has the idiot inslee disappeared to? seattle burns, he fiddles & diddles, with himself, no doubt ...

seattle, washington has suffered riots, and in the aftermath the little red guard brigade has "seized" capital hill, a seattle neighborhood.

where is jay inslee?   not to be seen.

the idiot leftist dimmo politicians are trapped in their own rhetoric, their own angst to be one with the little leftists red guards they so admire.   they are loathe to govern.

he who would have been president cannot even govern a neighborhood in seattle, and he leaves it abandoned to thugs who are apparently "governing" enthusiastically, extorting protection money from local residents and businesses, and setting up traffic road blocks around the town.

it is anarchy, and the washington governor has gone on vacation, and the seattle mayor is exposed as the idiot he is.

as bugs bunny would have said, "what a bunch of ultra maroons."   quite apropos.

if white america is indeed racist ....

if white america is indeed racist, and if endemic and deep rooted, then there is precious little hope (and even remoter probability) that the issues between blacks and whites will ever be resolved through peaceful means  ...  the only possible resolution of such matters seems to me by violence.

black lives matters should give this some consideration before demanding immediate change.   as the old chinese saying observes, be very careful about what you wish for, as you may receive it.

john jay @ 06.11.2020

on the issue of racism and racists ....

critics of american society assert that it is beset by racism.   which is to say, directly or by implication, that americans are by and large racists.

this strikes me as counterproductive, and counter-intuitive, as it seems highly unlikely that you are going to change the heart and soul of a genuine racist by calling him out as being a racist.   do perverts stop being perverts and offending by being reminded that they are perverts?

there may be something of "i see you, and understand you for what you are" aspect of this, but again, i see very little that is productive in terms of getting the name caller what he or she wants, which is most assuredly some sort of concession politically or socially beneficial to the name caller.

i take all of this to suggest that users of "the race card" know very well that the people they accuse of rank behavior and belief are in actual fact basically people of good faith, and who try to be fair.   the name callers use their castigation in a manner calculated to take advantage of doubt and residual worry to try and exact further concessions, and to achieve a leg up in the "moral suasion" business.

nothing more.  nothing less.  it is emotional black mail and exploitation.   it is well understood that if america were truly and endemically racist, that to call americans that would be rife with risk, and quite likely to inspire a push back, perhaps of no small violence or retribution. 

in short, there would be considerable risk in calling white americans racists.

and, as a matter of fact, the perception by the name callers, by the purveyors of the "race card," is that there is absolutely no risk involved at any level.   russel wilson, the quarterback of the seattle seahawks football franchise, is the latest "quasi celebrity" type to call america, and americans, racist.   he reminds me of the rich & privileged fellow malcom muggeridge once described as a "revolutionary," and who had suffered "nary the loss of a sunday chop" for having been so life long, safely ensconced in a life of wealth and privilege.

race baiters, or especially people of good faith, face no jail, no repression, no assault, no sanction for calling americans racists, and america a racist society.   as a matter of fact, for the most part what they face is having to "suffer" praise from the leftists and liberals, (the worthless herd of talking heads), mildly bemused tolerance from the moderates, and only imaginary retribution from all the imaginary racists roaming the streets.

and, who is russell wilson gonna call, when an intruder violates his home at 3.30 a.m., armed and belligerent.   who, indeed?

i don't feel much like i owe anyone an apology ....

i don't feel much like i owe anyone an apology for much of anything.  not for history, hell, i wasn't there.  not for contemporary events.  and, not for my attitudes and beliefs.  i don't go in for this business of falling all over myself, snotting myself and blubbering, just to gain the favor of someone.

my beliefs are not carved in stone, and they change from time to time as i consider things, but, i do not consider things at the point of a knife or while dodging a swinging cudgel.   and, my life matters, (to me at least) and i will protect it and my property*** to the best of my ability and resource.   which i figure are plenty ample.

'nuff said.
