Ep. 61 This the smartest, best informed account of what actually happened on January 6th. pic.twitter.com/U9yCWRVJSd

“We believe that there were easily 200 FBI undercover assets operating in the crowd, outside the Capitol, embedded into groups that entered the Capitol or provoked entry of the Capitol,” Rep. Clay Higgins, R-La., said.
Bullet Points
** Rome fell, but did the Roman Empire become a Church (with the gold and wealth intact in the Vatican)?
** h/t EdB The US Military has sent a sharp and unequivocal message. If you’re white (or a straight male), they don’t want you. I realize that white males are serving in the military, but the message remains.
** Sixty years later, we’ve put a man on the moon, sent scout ships to Mars, invented satellite, cable, and internet TV, watched the Video Kill the Radio star, created electric cars, nuclear subs, and cauliflower-crust pizza…
…and yet, I still can’t get my very own laser cannon. I’m starting to lose hope.
** “Elon Musk warned that the government will “come for your homes” after they run out of hotels and schools to commandeer for illegal alien housing. ” Referring to illegals in NYC transferred to a local high school, and the high school students were texted/emailed they’ll to stay home and do ‘remote study’.
The California governor and Legislature have been changing or adding multiple laws and possibly new home requirements and zoning, etc. Zoning laws were changed to develop multiple housing. If previously zoned Residential only, it no longer applies. A buyer can enter a residential neighborhood, tear down existing residential homes, and build apartments.
“On Tuesday, around 2,000 illegal aliens were bussed to a high school in New York City, and students and staff were ordered to switch to remote learning for the time being.”
“The move sparked shock and outrage from observers, serving as another example that the government is prioritizing the needs of illegal aliens over those of taxpaying citizens.”
MA Governor Healey asked residents to house migrant families amid the growing shelter crisis.
** Young WSF? You be the judge.
Robert Zemeckis’ “Used Cars” opens with a slow, patient push-in on a man tinkering under a used car’s dashboard, eventually rolling back its odometer. He’s whistling “Hail to the Chief” as he works; the opening title music that follows is a rousing rendition of “Stars and Stripes Forever.” The messaging here is not subtle: America, circa 1980, is a used car lot.

Panther
Right! It’s a Panther welded up to look like an American M-10 Tank Destroyer, deployed during the Battle of the Bulge.
It occurred to me yesterday morning that I haven’t seen anyone try to face match those guys in the crowd we suspect to be FBI with those who have been J6 arrested.
Ray Epps couldn’t be ignored, but I suspect that if someone had the time and resources and AI they could prove those 200 (and more?) were there, but not persecuted, I meant prosecuted.
No, I meant persecuted.
You were absolutely right the first time; persecuted. I sometimes wonder how we will look back at Jan 6 come ten or twenty years from now. Will it be a demonstration that got out of hand and was exacerbated by plants from various 3 letter organizations or will it be washed under the press of history like so many other things.
👍
I take “washed under” to mean forgotten. That would not be the worst thing. I think that the facts will be “subverted” to fit the agenda of our Masters, and that would be worse than merely forgotten.
It’s become increasingly obvious that much of what I was taught in school is either heavily shaded, or flat out wrong. Loathsome persons have been presented as pure-hearted heroes. Decent people trying to stand up for their (collective, regional) rights have been demonized as greedy racists. Authorships of mandatory-read clearly-not-propaganda (so turn off your critical thinking and just FEEL, you monster) appear to be false. History and popular culture have largely been subverted and perverted by the masters of Reverse Victim and Offender.
So Jan 6th will be added to the list of lies, unless someone gets sufficiently sick of our shit (or rather the shit of our “elite”) to open the canned sunshine, or to deploy targeted bio weapons, at which point we’ll have more pressing immediate worries.

Ah. Used Cars. Easily one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen in my life and Jack Warden is pitch perfect as the two brothers
The portion with all the high school kids was at my high school (Paradise Valley).
Didn’t get a role as an extra as I was only 14 at the time and they wanted kids with drivers licenses.
My Godfather played the defense attorney in the court room scene.
His speaking parts were cut in editing and you only see him briefly sleeping in the court room.
A shame, as he had a stuttering problem and his read-throughs were hilarious!
Is that why they were cut?
Not that I remember. He was consistent in his delivery.
Think it was cut for time.
Just watched it again last night.
While tame by todays “standards”, the swearing and mild nudity were quite the controversy at the time.
#1 sure looks like a pregnant female guppy
James Madison HS is in Brooklyn, with a student body 47% white, 12% black, 21% Asian and 17% Hispanic. The “economically disadvantaged” make up 73% of kids. No one cares about this school. They’re poor but below average in blackness (NYC is about 20% black overall). There is no money and little by way of “visible Victimhood”.
When they start putting illegals into schools in Central Park West (or other areas full of the financial class) then that’ll be news. Or maybe they could house the illegals in those mysterious tunnels. Why, that’s it! That’s the reason those tunnels exist!
I’m currently rereading Gibbon’s Decline (Hadas abridgement) in which the author blames much of the fall on squabbles between the various Christian sects. Certainly, politics and religion are inextricably intertwined in this history.
Unfortunately omitted in this edition are details about the rise of Christianity and its eventual replacement of the Empire’s traditional pagan roots.
What remains is a sad parade of disasters fomented by a succession of self-serving tyrants, dictators and deviants, only occasionally relieved by men of vision.
It should be noted that Gibbon had little regard for Christianity in general.
His remarks on the Crusades (chap. 58) are particularly revealing.
On the subject of used cars – granddaughter (age 16) was driving home from classes yesterday and had an accident. No injuries to report.
She was driving the family van and it’s old enough the insurance company will probably just total it. Guess they will be looking for a replacement used vehicle in the KC area.
Wow! Cauliflower crust! What an achievement! I don’t even know what that is. I’ve only just got my head round stuffed crust. Is this some sort of vegan malarkey? Or is it stuffed with cauliflower because they’ve run out of Velveeta? Actually, I’m not violently opposed to a bit of cauliflower if it’s smothered in a cheese sauce and bacon bits and used as a side to a chicken fried steak. And, just the other day, I saw some “influencer” of the veganuary brigade roast a load of cauliflower with paprika and spices so I had a go and it was proper nice. It’s even better when it’s fried like popcorn and called bang bang.
The way cauliflower has advanced in the last 60 years really is quite staggering when you think about it and here I was, starting this conversation about to be a bit arsey about it all!
Cauliflower only tastes good if you fry it and add cheese, bacon, onions, and so forth – for your healthy snack.
Thanks for the reminder. I pulled a cauli crust pizza out of the freezer, loaded it down with fresh-diced tomatoes, roasted garlic, basil, and cheddar, and popped it in the oven.
Good way to celebrate the end of a very long day, along with two fingers of brandy, and the decidedly non-dulcet tones of the laundry machine running a load.
…I should have added bacon, but that sounded too much like work to cook some up first.
Better to cook the bacon and make bits out of it on the pizza, removing the greasy parts.
I still want the flying car I was promised… and Used Cars was classic and dead on!
Musk says that if you want one, buy a helicopter.
Regarding Jan6. Probably about 200 active USGov employees in undercover roles. Along with probably 500 or more confidential informants, paid instigators and others on some LEO list and getting payola under the table.
Yes, maybe one in three at the event was on the government payroll in one form or another in a clandestine role. It’s sort of like going to an Oathkeeper meeting, only there, it’s at least 50/50 with each recording what everyone said, writing reports about it, etc. A lot of FBI 302s came out of the Oathkeepeer meetings. A lot of premium pay (Federal overtime) was authorized. Boats were purchased, and 3/4 ton 4×4 rigs to pull them. Oathkeepers contributed to the local economy in a major but indirect way.
Ha! Have you read Chesterton’s lovely little book, The Man Who Was Thursday? All the anarchists end up being gov agents, as I recall.
But seriously, people are in gaol for years without trial on account of this massively lame PR stunt.
Please use your influence and make heads roll. Thanks.
I’m only an NCO at the DLC, LSP.
Not after the next meeting of the promotions board, you aren’t.
LL’s being overly modest, Wild, RHSMs are notoriously powerful.
Still waiting for WSF to chime in….
After the mandatory Monday morning sales meeting, my crew would have breakfast. Often, it was at my house as I had a large covered deck and a Weber. Roll out the TV and VCR, grill steaks, and watch Used Cars. We regarded the movie as a training aid.
man on the moon, are you sure? why is it taking so long to repeat if so?….we hit yemen, they hit us back harder, brandon went to bed with no comment. this isn’t going to end well, for the troops.
Poor old Pedo Joe goes to bed before the Sun sets – his work here is done.
How can any military person have the slightest faith in leadership?
What leadership? Everyone’s asleep at the wheel, on vacation or with they’re attorney’s trying to come up with an exfil plan that is better than the other rats jumping ship. In the words of Fred Thompson, ” This business will we’ll be lucky to live through it.”

This is not going to end well.
You mean the guy in the hospital?
Used Cars
“it’s a Red car, Rudy” One of the few movies I ever bought. Not me in the picture. I never owned a checked sports coat or orange trousers but owned many ugly ties.
Hi L.L.
Posing a question off the subject here. It is being reported over the wires that Biden announced the United States does not support Independence for Taiwan.
Question is what do you think this can lead to as far as China and their actions?
With one face, we announce that we don’t support an independent Taiwan. With the other, we are setting up a large lend-lease purchase of ships and weapons for Taiwan. Perhaps there are third and fourth faces as well. The Taiwan issue is sticky for the communist Chinese. If they can pretend that it isn’t independent, there is no need to invade. I realize that may sound schitzo, and I may be wrong — but the invasion of Taiwan would end China. They rely on the rest of the world to feed them, to support their industry, etc. Bombing Taiwan flat would not give them anything. The semiconductor industry has moved to the US, or is in the process of moving and will be coming on line in 2024.
Look what the Ukraine invasion has done for Russia. There is a lesson in this that the Chinese are learning. Do THEY trust that their military is not a Potemkin Village? My sense is that they harbor doubts (appropriately).
