I love watching Gina Carano swatting dumb activists on twitter like they are little mosquitoes

 

Their tears have a sweet taste.

It's funny to see how pronoun people claim to always be nice/virtuous, but when someone slightly disagrees with them, these lovely people try to eat the maverick alive like piranhas...

 

But this time, they tried to attack a bigger fish. Someone with a spine. Gina Carano, I really like you.

So the MSM is going to smear Joe Rogan as controversial so Biden can back out of the debate offer.

I finally bought one a couple of weeks ago! This heat wave is alright though, it didn't go up to 40°C like last time. I did some martial arts tonight and it was hot, but bearable (even if that bloody mask doesn't help )

 

Finally! Heatwaves in September...what global warming  Hmm..are sure you weren't home playing Mortal Kombat..

@Matt! How's the weather in Stockholm?

It looks like Autumn, but I guess Swedish women (99% of whom are models - at least, that's how I imagine it ) keep wearing tank tops and skirts as long as the temperature is above -20°C, right?

 

 

 

I believe you answered your own question  Correct, and when it gets to -40° and below, it's time for fur tank tops and skirts.

What this clip doesn't show is BLM coming onto his property and attempting to enter his home by force.

 

Wisconsin Legislature: 947.013. (1) Whoever does any of the following is guilty of a Class B misdemeanor: (a) With intent to frighten, intimidate, threaten, abuse or harass, makes a telephone call and threatens to inflict injury or physical harm to any person or the property of any person. The police should have hauled all of them off away.

Nashville Officials Allegedly Covered Up Data Showing Few Cases From Restaurants And Bars, Emails Show

Confirmed coronavirus cases from Nashville’s bars and restaurants were so low that the Tennessee city’s Metro Health Department decided to withhold the data from the public, emails from the mayor’s office show.

 

The emails discuss the low amount of coronavirus cases traced to restaurants and bars and how to hide those figures, Fox 17 Nashville reported. Contact tracing commissioned over the summer found that construction crews and nursing homes were more responsible for the virus’s spread than Nashville’s restaurants and bars, which reported just 22 cases as of June 30.

In response to the findings, one health department official asked, “This isn’t going to be publicly released, right? Just info for Mayor’s Office?” the emails showed.

“Correct, not for public consumption,” said Benjamin Eagles, a senior advisor to Nashville Mayor John Cooper, the following message shows.

 

 

A month later, Nashville’s health department was confronted about a rumor that the state capital’s restaurants and bars led to only 80 cases by a reporter for the Tennessean, according to Fox 17

 

“The figure you gave of ‘more than 80’ does lead to a natural question: If there have been over 20,000 positive cases of COVID-19 in Davidson [County] and only 80 or so are traced to restaurants and bars, doesn’t that mean restaurants and bars aren’t a big problem?” the reported asked.

In an internal email shortly after, health department official Brian Todd asked others in the department, “please advise how you recommend I respond.”

Officials responded to Tood, confirming that data relating to restaurants and bars had not been released “because those numbers are low per site,” Fox 17 reported.

 

“I was able to get verification from the Mayor’s Office and the Department of Health that these emails are real,” the staff attorney told the councilmember.

Glover said that the coverup was enough to completely erode people’s trust in the mayor’s office and the public health department.

“They are fabricating information,” he said, according to Fox 17. “They’ve blown their entire credibility. It’s gone, I don’t trust a thing they say going forward …nothing.”

Glover also said that he has been contacted by hundreds of restaurant and bar owners, questioning why officials would not release the data, especially if it could have allowed them to reopen safely.

The mayor’s office has denied the allegations of a coverup to Fox 17, the Tennessee outlet reported.

Should be charged, but like everything else in government nothing is going to happen.

That part about the blond in Genealogy of Morals is trash. It's typical of 19th century lunacies (which continued until the mid 20th century), I don't like that he wrote that shit either. However, if you read the passage entirely, and put it in the context of what he wrote, you'll realize it's not related to nazi-type beliefs (the blonds are not just the germans, it's the greeks, japanese, etc.). He's just using stupid concepts from his century to develop his ideas about vitality (also, his historical references are sometimes incorrect). BTW, Nietzsche despises antisemites, he says they are the lowest of scumbags.

 

Genealogy is not his best book. I told you: Twilight, Z or Beyond good and evil are much better.

 

 

Yes, Genealogy of Moral's 1st essay is very dated, based on bogus 19th century theories.  There is anti- Jew content in the first essay. 

 

So far I like Thus spoke Z (finished half of the book) the best out of the various works I've sampled.   It describes an experiential process of deviating from the "crowd".   Haven't started twilight of the idols yet.  

 

I've looked at the key points of his books and it strikes me of how much he hates Christianity and the Christians.  His work is medicine for people who have serious post-Christian issues or are fanatical christians.  For me I don't really suffer from this problem as while I attended church for several years I was distant from its teachings.  But certainly people from the 19th century and a post-christian world did and in a deep way.

"Western" societies have no transcendence and today's level of nihilsim/absurdity is pretty high, but I still prefer our society to nazism and communism, because at least we're free and we don't die from starvation.

 

Existentialism has a strong emphasize on developing the path to 1. individualism 2. authenticity 3. creating one's own meaning of life 4. the nature of alienation 5. nature of perceptive awareness in the present moment,  etc.  So naturally it is very distant from patriotism/nationalism/imperialism/fascism/capitalism/materialism etc and takes more of an eastern philosophical approach.   

 

With Sartre, I thought the most interesting part of Dodson's 4 hour lecture, largely focused on Being and Nothingness,  was the emphasis on how human beings struggle to handle freedom and many aren't intelligent enough to handle complete freedom in the first place.  They crave to be told what to do and what to believe.  I think this is true for the majority of people, who aren't very introspective.  

 

Something like Nazism and Communism, and imperialism require faith in an ideology and the state so there was a "great meaning" there.  This was then enforced by their police state and the way they segmented society top-down. On the other hand, modern people in western countries have to create their own meaning by themselves in a far less structured world, which requires understanding themselves, which is a difficult and long process.  Hence the differing set of spiritual problems that western countries have.

 

The old school psych like Jung call the process individuation/integration/etc.  The percentage of people that do this well before the age 40 and without professional help or a ton of reflection/mediation and studying must, by nature, be very few.  

 

+I have a very large collection of American and German WW2 war memoirs.  One of the things that stand out and fit in the "Kierkegaard" model is how the American is typically from the aesthetic or ethical mode of existence while the German memoirs lean more heavily on the transcendental/religious (particularly those by ex- Nazi SS soldiers- as the SS nazism can be seen as a political movement with strong religious aspects) and ethical (German regular army) side although many are from the aesthetic point of view, too.

Leaked Call Reveals Biden Risked National Security To Sabotage Trump

 

A recently leaked phone call between then-Vice President Joe Biden and Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko directly after the 2016 presidential election shows that Biden sought to sabotage the incoming Trump administration before Donald Trump even took office, and much worse.

During the course of the call, Biden badmouthed the incoming administration, saying, “The truth of the matter is that the incoming administration doesn’t know a great deal about [Ukraine]” and that they were unprepared for the transition. This in itself is inappropriate, but it was meant to set the stage for Biden’s next statement and future plans.

 

Biden then told Poroshenko, “I don’t plan on going away. As a private citizen, I plan on staying deeply engaged in the endeavor that you have begun and we have begun.” In a matter of moments, Biden undermined the incoming administration, branded them as not knowing anything about Ukraine, and attempted to set up a foreign policy backchannel for himself after he left office as a private citizen, which could violate the Logan Act.

 

The Logan Act bars private citizens from engaging in U.S. foreign policy, although its constitutionality remains questionable and no person has ever been convicted of violating it since it was signed into law in 1799. Ironically, this is the same act that, at Joe Biden’s suggestion, the FBI accused National Security Advisor Michael Flynn of violating as a result of a discussion Flynn had with the Russian ambassador to the United States around nearly the same time as Biden’s call with Poroshenko.

To fortify his position and to make Poroshenko more confident that he should continue to deal with Biden once he left office, in the call Biden also intimated that there is a problem with the incoming administration: “The reason I bother to tell you that is I have been somewhat limited on what I am able to tell their team about Ukraine.”

While Biden blamed this on a late start to the transition process, we now know he said this at the same time the FBI and other U.S. intelligence agencies were conducting a counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign’s contacts with Russia, known as “Crossfire Hurricane,” of which Ukraine was a part.

 

Since it was leaked by a Ukrainian member of Parliament, the phone call was obviously recorded by the Ukrainians, and almost certainly by Russian intelligence services. Biden would have been aware of this from his time on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and as vice president.

So Biden, the sitting vice president of the United States, told a foreign leader whose country was part of a highly classified FBI counterintelligence investigation that there were things he couldn’t share about his country with the incoming administration and that they weren’t cleared. We now know from subsequent investigations that the Trump administration did not in fact collude with Russia, but at the time, Biden didn’t and he was privy to the fact that the FBI had opened the investigation.

If Russian intelligence had actually penetrated the incoming Trump administration, Biden’s comments would have almost certainly tipped them off that something was amiss, placing our national security in grave danger.

Additionally, it is mind-boggling that the vice president felt comfortable telling a foreign leader that there were things he was unable to tell the incoming administration at the same time the Department of Justice and the FBI failed to notify President-elect Trump of potential counterintelligence risks (that ended up not being true) posed by members of his campaign team who might join his administration in official capacities.

 

In the end, it is clear that Biden exercised incredibly poor judgment, placing a highly classified counterintelligence operation at risk; undermined the incoming administration; and attempted to set up a foreign policy backchannel for himself so he could remain involved in U.S-Ukrainian policy even though he was not sanctioned to do so by law.

All of this took place while his son, Hunter Biden, was on the payroll of a Ukrainian energy firm for which he admitted he had no related experience.

Rural Springfield, MO Public Schools Teach Kids Critical Race Theory Including: Saying MAGA and Calling the Cops is White Supremacy

 

This came from a reader in Springfield, Missouri a rural part of Missouri. Since the Obama years Missouri is a solid red state. But that won’t stop the public schools from brainwashing and shaming the kids. Springfield public schools has an office of diversity and inclusion and the school district is pushing critical race theory to kids in the area to get them to hate their heritage, their state and the country they live in. Here are a few slides from the filth they are teaching kids in Springfield. If you disagree with their racist indoctrination that makes you a racist too.

Ah, the feminist card. It always works with the media. You can't offend a feminist. They're from a privileged class, disagreeing with them is a grave crime...

 

It works all the time with the media:

- You're losing an argument? End the discussion by saying you're a feminist. You're a victim, so you're always right.

- You want to end the presumption of innocence? Say you're a feminist, it's all in the name of the cause, men are all trash anyway.

- You want to destroy a man's life, without any proof? Easy as pie, just say you're a feminist, now the poor bastard is done for.
