This one's for you Elon, but of course not exclusively.

A week ago AP posted one of their "advocacy" pieces about getting updated Covid shots.  As you know if you've paid any attention at all these are strongly associated with both acute cardiac damage (that is, you're fucked and dead, right now) and also have a very strong association with cancers of all sorts which are way up (statistically about as likely to be a result of random chance as is my being hit by an asteroid while going to get my mail this afternoon.)

My response to them, which I dictated on my phone (thus the typo as you can see) was this:

 

Literally instantly, before I could see anything else (I had hit "reply" accidentally as opposed to backing up and fixing the typo) my account was suspended for seven days for what was alleged to be "violence."

 

No sane person could possibly read that tweet and determine that I am fomenting violence against anyone.  It is, from a speech perspective, exactly identical to Elon's infamous "Go. Fuck.Yourself."  In fact its literally that from a speech perspective.

No human made that determination and thus "no careful review" occurred so now I have two lies, not one.

Many have asked why I will never buy an "X" subscription.  This is why; the platform which Elon runs is programmed to take autonomous actions without human review, no human review then later takes place either.

I can understand immediate interdiction if, for example, you believe that someone might be attempting to spam.  Shoot first under automated action, immediately pass it to a human, and if in fact its sustained fine, if not reverse it with an apology.  Protecting the platform makes sense and in that case the damage is minuscule when you're wrong and you say you're sorry.

But that's not what happened, there was no reversal, my sentence was not reversed on human examination as clearly erroneous and I'm not the only one it happens to.  In fact I have a pile of others who have had the same thing happen, its a daily occurrence across the platform and only those people with huge reach and thus the ability to slam Elon in public get any sort of consideration beyond his obviously defective "artificial intelligence."

Its artificial all right but it sure as hell isn't intelligent.

More insulting is the second lie, that "careful review" took place.

Now Twitmo is not exactly a new place for me to be; much earlier, and well before Elon was effectively in control and said that X was now a "free speech" bastion I was thrown in jail a few times for various "infractions", one of which was advocating that a person convicted of a serious offense get the death penalty.  This too was deemed "violence" and it was by algorithm -- apparently, in that world before Elon, advocating that lawful capital punishment be carried out complete with the expected due process of law was an "offense."

But all that was all supposed to have changed with Elon's ownership and public pronouncements -- a claim now proved, by my own experience, to be false.

I don't do business with proved liars unless I have no choice or I can protect myself from getting it in the ass with contractual language that not only assesses a punitive amount of liquidated damages but also compensates for fees, costs and my time at a rational rate if I have to sue to go after them when they, as expected and demonstrated by their prior acts, lie to me and as a result I get fucked.

Since "X" will never offer any such thing and the company has demonstrated it will bullshit at will including claiming automated action constitutes "careful review" whenever its convenient to fuck its users in the ass with no compensation, no review, no apologies and no way to intervene with a human while at the same time making the claim that it is a forum for "free speech" well, if there's no money changing hands then all that changes is my behavior in that I will alter what I use said thing for to suit me and not Elon.  I most-certainly will not subscribe to any "service" in which I am likely to get fucked -- not now, not ever until and unless the prior errors are admitted to, all of the records of same (including any such "scoring" internally) are reversed, any and all propagation of that to any other party (e.g. those who were sold said data) is identified in specificity as to who and when and reversed so I have a cause of action against said purchaser or obtainer of said data if they did or do use it to screw me, the admission is made in public and the policies are changed so it does not, and cannot, happen again.

Is that a big ask?  You bet it is.  But if the answer is either "no" or silence (the same as "no") then my answer is:

GO. FUCK. YOURSELF.

In addition I will not now or in the future do business with any firm Elon owns or has a controlling or board seat upon under any circumstances because he has demonstrated to my satisfaction that he will lie any time there is any advantage in it at all, even if the "advantage" is only avoiding 10 seconds of effort by one of his employees looking at the event, saying "oh, that was dumb" and clicking a button to reverse the AI's stupidity.

I thus presume that any element of fuckery in, for example, a Tesla vehicle that would be to his monetary benefit (by even a dollar) and to my disadvantage (by even a dollar) would be undertaken and that informs my decision that I will never own or even ride in one of them because if he could steal any sort of contextual information about me and sell it to my detriment, even if the gain was a single penny, he would and will do so.  Incidentally this extends to Starlink as well; I was contemplating buying one of his "minis" for when I travel and as an emergency backup and once satisfied it would do the job stuff it in my travel trailer but there is no fucking way I'm going to give him access to my data streams and their destinations under any set of circumstances given this set of facts until and unless the above corrective actions occur and I am satisfied that this sort of shit will never happen in any entity he has any involvement in again.

Oh by the way if you think this abusive behavior and screwing to your detriment is pure speculation it most-certainly is not.  I'm well aware of what the Internet's "data brokerage" business has turned into as I was one of the people who managed to successfully block it for a short period of time (knowing it wouldn't last) thirty years ago, knew that would not hold (it didn't) and today you do get reamed by it in things like car and homeowner's insurance rates.  Several firms have been caught selling said data from apps on your phone, for example, which you had no reason to believe would be aggregated and marketed in this way so this is definitely not speculation.

Now maybe I'm wrong on that judgment with regards to "X" and Elon personally but this is what he has led me to believe and what, in my opinion it should lead you to believe -- backed by the fact that others in fact do this and that is a known fact because they've been caught doing it.

Will it change your behavior?

Well, if it doesn't when you get it up the ass from him and from anything he's involved in, like Trump's DOGE department, I do not want to hear your complaints.  What you get from me, very publicly if you do complain is this -- and it will be doubly and very publicly so if it bankrupts or, even better from my point of view, kills you:

smiley

PS: We didn't have a bunch of people bullshit roughly a million Americans literally to death just a couple of years ago.... did we?

As I pointed out just a few days ago the goal of a politician is not to win "by one vote."

It is to win by enough that the margin of cheating, and cheating occurs in every single election, is exceeded.

Trump did that last night.

Further, by the Democrats rules, he didn't get 277 (so far) EVs, with Michigan, Arizona, Nevada and Alaska outstanding: He got all of them because he also won the popular vote and remember, the left has said the Electoral College should be abolished and they've even engaged, in a number of states, in an unlawful Interstate Compact (all such must be approved by Congress) to that effect.

Well, he won there too -- at last check by about five million votes.

Harris has thus far refused to concede.  The sore loser syndrome isn't going to work this time; its not close.  With 96% in Michigan has Trump up by about 100,000 votes which again is almost-certainly beyond the margin of cheating if there is cheating, There are approximately 7 million registered voters in Michigan and historical trends say about 70% turn out in a general election on the high end (we'll go with that) so only about 147,000 votes remain out.  It is implausible that with about 100,000 votes separating the two they break for Harris at a ratio sufficient to win.  Similar stories (but with larger outstanding vote amounts) apply to Nevada, Arizona and Alaska.

It is rather likely that the 226 EVs that Harris has is all she's going to get.

In addition the GOP has secured 51 Senate seats -- which means no obstruction games with nominees.

The House is less-certain; the current "called numbers" are GOP +1 from where they are now, but there are plenty of races that are not resolved, with 218 needed.  Since Congress passes all appropriations and no branch of government can spend a nickel otherwise, there's a problem here given that basically everyone, who must stand for election every two years, was returned at least in party if not in name.

Oh by the way, if you believe the 2020 vote counts given this election and its vote counts you need to account for a large number of people who "disappeared."  Yes, I know the Democrats and Fauci slaughtered a crap-ton of Americans with their various nostrums and bribes, but that many?  The entire count is not in and when it is I'll run a voting-age population-adjusted analysis (remember, I have that from the BLS data) and see what there is to find.

I'll have much more to say in the next couple of days on what has to happen given that Harris and Biden have thrown into the economy a disastrous set of policies and tried to buy the outcome of the election with many of them, none of which we can afford and all of which are going to come to the forefront early next year and forward.

But for now, this is sufficient: The cry room lease has been canceled; there is work to be done and your choices are either to engage and do so -- and no BS obstructionism either -- or be ejected and starve.

..... either we confirm the actions of the last four years, including all the economic and "migrant" policies.

Or we repudiate them.

Today you vote for boys in the girl's locker room, and the destruction of women's sports -- or you don't.

Today you vote for the permanent destruction, in both boys and girls, of their capacity to have children via both drugs and surgical procedure, in childrenbecause said child, often via influence of social media, says they "believe" they're not really as they were born -- or you don't.

Today you vote for rapists and murderers, including those who rape and murder young girls coming over the Southern border -- or you don't.

Today you vote for the doubling you already experienced in your food prices at the grocery store -- or you don't.

Today you vote for two doublings (unless you're in CA, in which case you already had it happen) in your electric bill and you are at the same time voting for the destruction of choice for home heating fuel via natural gas and propane bans.  Yes, you are either voting for a $1,000/mo heating bill within the next few years -- or you are not.

Today you vote for the literal end of the First Amendment, packing the Supreme Court and more and no accountability for unspeakably evil acts including those that kill Americans, such as stuffing known ill people into nursing homes during a viral outbreak -- or you don't.

Today you vote for being forcibly needle-raped with what later proved to be both a serious cardiac and cancer risk under threat of being jobless and homeless -- or you don't.

Today you vote for abortion after a woman is already in active labor with the baby's head is sticking out of the vagina, a bill signed into law by Walz in Minnesota -- or you don't.

Today you vote for not one but two wars that both occurred while Biden and Harris were in charge of foreign policy.  You either like war and vote for a proved record of it -- or you vote for the person who had zero wars during their Presidency.

All these things happened in the last 3-1/2 years.

Before you list the "parade of horribles" that you claim will come if Trump is elected please list one horrible.  Please list just one and show me the difference because both of the candidates do have a four year record.

Laken Riley is dead.  The accused is an illegal alien caught and released by Biden/Harris.

Jocelyn Nungaray, a 12 year old Texas girl, was murdered on June 16th of this year.  Two illegal Venezuelan men, who entered the US and were let in by Biden/Harris, are charged with her murder.

I do not like Trump.  If you've read any of my material you know this; in the 2016 timeframe and all the way through 2020 I wrote dozens of articles critical of his policies.  Yes, it was Trump that put in place the HHS policies that paid your hospital to kill your Grandmother during the Pandemic -- but Harris and Biden not only didn't reverse those policies upon taking office they confirmed and strengthened them.  Yes, Trump wildly spiked inflation with his "Covid checks" -- but Harris and Biden threw gasoline on the inflationary fire at more than twice the size of the damage Trump did.  Yes, Trump is responsible for  "warp speed" but after telling us all that we shouldn't take the shots during the 2020 campaign Harris and Biden mandated that which, during the campaign, they told us they believe would KILL us, and were only stopped from enforcement by the Supreme Court.

I am dismayed that these are the choices, but they in fact are the choices.

Ronald Reagan, during his inauguration as Governor:

Perhaps you and I have lived too long with this miracle to properly be appreciative. Freedom is a fragile thing and it's never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by way of inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people.  And those in world history who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again.

Reagan permanently regularized millions of illegals in California, permanently turned that state Democrat through that act and by doing so set in motion himself the destruction of freedom in the United States and a path toward single-party rule that is always, in each and every case in a nation, the destruction of freedom through the permanent destruction of electoral choice.  He caused, at its core, the start of the destruction we now face.  The irony of his words is that they were right and the very things he did set in motion the movements and pathway, about a generation later, that place us on the precipice of never knowing freedom again.

If you allow the confirmation of the above then this, when it occurs, is on you.

One final point: The deliberate actions of Janet Yellen, the Biden/Harris Treasury Secretary, has guaranteed both a huge inflationary spike early next year and both, along with their Medicare director, deliberately concealed by shifting money around a more than 100% increase in Medicare Part D premiums that will hit next year.  This was done to deliberately prevent Seniors from having it happen while Harris was running.  It will happen next year no matter who wins and every Senior on Medicare was deliberately deceived by these actions, and so was every American by the monstrous inflationary spike Yellen put into the system in the first weeks of October.  You will get screwed by this come 2025 no matter who is President so this election is also about you ratifying and approving getting quite-literally robbed by deception.

How old are you?

I'm assuming the people reading this are adults.

How certain, when you're old, are you that you will need exactly nothing from anyone.  No money, no personal care, nobody to wipe your ass when you can't?  Nobody (or damn few) people paying taxes to cover things that you might need but no longer can go out and earn on your own.

How sure?

Because that's the bet in this election.

You see, one view is that wide-open borders, "nobody is illegal", everyone who comes gets $2,000+/mo without working a single day for any of it, skills are immaterial, desire is immaterial (other than to consume the $2,000) and more.  This position, in larger and larger amounts, starting with "your strawberries will go up 25 cents a pint if you don't let them in" then "you won't be able to get your roof done" and now "any Haitian can come" has driven a collapse in women willing to give birth and raise another generation.

You think not?

How many 18 year old young women see their grandma getting $1,500 a month from Social Security, $300 is deducted from that for Medicare (in its various parts including "D") so they get $1,200 a month to spend in total -- and its taxable -- while every illegal immigrant that comes in gets $2,000 a month tax free and then contemplate their future if they decide to have a kid with their boyfriend (hopefully future husband)?

Oh to be sure that's not the whole reason but its part of it, and the left is responsible for most -- but not all -- of the rest too.

Contemplate Harris' incessant bleating about abortion.  OK, right to choose.  I get it.  But then HARRIS let rapists into the nation from Venezuela and Haiti and rape they did, including raping CHILDREN.  Tell me ladies, would you rather have access to all the abortions you want all the way up until the baby takes it first breath or not be raped in the first place and thus not have the need for one?  How many women want to bring a child into the world that has a 50% chance, because said kid is a girlof having to deal with the risk of those animals raping her?  How many women say "fuck that shit!" and as a result decided not to have kids at all?

And let's cut the crap about the abortion issue in the first place: 90+% of the nation is somewhere in the middle, myself included. The "extreme ends" are "no abortions ever" and "you can abort while in active labor with the head sticking out of the vagina."  And yes, that IS the legal structure in a handful of states today, including VP candidate Walz's Minnesota which had that change in law passed WHILE WALZ WAS GOVERNOR and he signed the legislation.  To quote specifically from the AG's page:

  • Minnesota’s Standard: Minnesota statute guarantees Minnesotans’ right to make decisions regarding their reproductive health care free from interference by the state. This includes the right to terminate a pregnancy. A patient’s decision about whether and when to terminate a pregnancy is between the patient and their provider. (Minn. Stat. § 145.409, subd. 3.)

In other words there is no cut-off of any sort under any circumstances, period.

Harris' position is precisely this when it comes to legal structure and no, Trump's is not the former ("no abortions ever") despite attempts to claim otherwise; he has explicitly disavowed that, never attempted to enact it in his first term and in fact acted on and put his actual view into practice when Roe was kicked back to the States by the USSC -- and his VP candidate has said he respected his State's voters who said "no, that's not our position either."  Thus the only plausible read on Trump (and his VP's) position is that it is somewhere in the middle, exactly as is 90+% of the American population and further Trump has explicitly stated he will not seek to stop States that adopt the Harris and Walz view even though he personally (as does his VP candidate) disagrees with it.

How about all this trans shit?  If you cut your dick or tits off and either chemically or physically destroy your reproductive organs you can't make any kids, ever, and you can't ever change your mind because you intentionally destroyed your biological capacity to reproduce.  This is even more extreme than, for example, a man getting a vasectomy as at least in theory that might be reversible where removal of the testicles is never reversible.  The entire trans thing is in fact, at its core, the destruction of reproductive capacity.  You may not admit that it is this way but its true whether you like it or not.

The excuse is "well I was told Johnny might kill himself if we don't do that."  Well, he might, although there's now study work the NIH funded -- and then pulled the funding on -- because it showed that puberty blockers did not improve outcomes.  When that signal appeared suddenly the government didn't want to fund it anymore and nobody wants to publish it either.  But whether that's the last word on it or not doesn't matter because while Johnny might kill himself if he doesn't get the pills if he does get the pills with high probability, and ONE HUNDRED PERCENT OF THE TIME if he cuts his penis and testicles off, he will NEVER make a child.

EVER.

How do you know that ten years later he won't want one - or three?

How many children do you know who were utterly certain of something at age 10 or 15 and ten years later still were of the precise same opinion?  How many kids go to college and change majors?  How many people get married and then divorce?  How many marry and stay with for life their first boyfriend or girlfriend?  I have known hundreds of kids both in my own youth and as an adult and every single one of them changed their mind between the age of 10 and somewhere in adulthood on something of serious importance in their life.

Who in their right mind pushes a speculative thing at the cost of an absolutely biologically certain one in a population that has a ONE HUNDRED PERCENT probability that one or more seriously-held positions by that individual will change over time?

How about the "need" for a two-income home to be able to afford to live?  What happens if you have a kid and then one of you loses your job?  Can you really have it all?  No, but you can live on the edge of disaster all the time and guess who advanced THAT shit in American Society?  Obama, Biden and HARRIS.  Think not?  How does your grocery bill, rent and car insurance over the last three and a half years compare with the raises you've received?

The entire budget deficit and thus the inflation in the economy is all, right now, in CMS.  That's Medicare and Medicaid.  Obamacare was an attempt to bail out the medical system on your back and you bought it.  So a drug-addled individual shooting up heroin could have "free" medical care you got screwed with a 500% cost increase for shittier coverage and don't tell me you didn't because I used to buy it both for my employees and then when I sold the company I had to buy it personally for myself and my daughter when she was a child.  Let me put HARD NUMBERS to this for you: There was not a single college-age adult working for my firm that had a rated cost (yes, every single person was individually rated) over $100/month, most were well below that, and it was pretty darn good health insurance.  That wasn't the employee's cost, it was THE TOTAL COST and I know what it was for every individual employee because I wrote the checks.   Go find and ask one of the people who worked for me what the payroll deduction was for individual health insurance -- it was $15/pay period. Why?  Because ERISA mandates I cannot take more than half nor can I discriminate and deduct different amounts per-person or I lose above the line tax deductibility so there is your proof right on the check stub; most of those young people's all-in cost was under $75/mo.  In exchange for being "compassionate", which you were sold, the price you pay quadrupled, the coverage went to shit with most plans now requiring a several thousand dollar a year deductible and at the same time we added 20 million illegal immigrants that are also have THEIR medical costs in your bill because they pay ZERO.  What's worse is that what you got was more grift and scam -- not better health.  Look at the size of Americans over the last 25 years and tell me it got better!  It has gotten much worse!

The same thing happened after Obama federalized all student loans.  College costs skyrocketed in the 15 years since continuing the pattern of the previous two decades and now Harris' plan is not to punish the colleges who sold your kid a worthless degree for $200,000, an act of abject fraud, but to try to shove the cost up your ass as a taxpayer.  This, if she was to succeed (the USSC has blocked it but Harris and Biden have ignored the decision) would simply make college even more expensive since they would still have zero accountability for screwing your kid.

Why do you think all those colleges and professors endorse Harris when she is all-in on them being able to continue to rape your wallet AND THAT OF YOUR CHILDREN?

How about the unbridled fear being run about throwing out all the illegal aliens and dispatching all the government waste, which is likely at least a third and maybe half or more of all government spending and jobs?

Well, do you like higher prices or lower prices?  Do you want to be able to afford a house and are you a citizen?  Do you like higher or lower grocery bills, car prices and everything else?

Supply and demand is not a suggestion and every government dollar spent is in fact a tax whether its directly leveled on you or it is indirectly leveled through inflation when the government spends more than it taxes.  If you get rid of a large part of demand prices go down and not a little.  If you remove taxes by deleting government spending for which there is no benefit other than a government employee getting paid to do nothing of value then once again prices will go down -- and again, not a little.

Will doing that (presuming a candidate was to actually do it) result in a short-term dislocation in the economy?  Of course it will.  But the wild-eyed improvement and opportunity that will be created by doing so will also flood business back to the US where it formerly made sense to offshore and those lower costs across the board will very-rapidly result in a huge economic boom.  If you think not look at 1920/21 when all sorts of insane inefficient crap happened in the years right after the war and rather than bail anyone out or force taxpayers to eat it Coolidge and The Fed said "nuts!"  There was a huge economic dislocation but within 18 months all the lost jobs were regained and the largest economic growth EVER RECORDED in American history occurred.

Of course if you don't care about your kids or any future kids -- and you clearly don't if you intend to or already have voted for Harris -- then how about you?

The future has no kids except those born to people who can't think and don't care (thus will not be taxpayers on net), no tax base, no money and if the government keeps emitting credit in their vote-buying handout schemes to millions of illegal immigrants and their cronies in industry, particularly the health industry, inflation will destroy you and ruin the value of your assets, interest rates will skyrocket and there will be no health care available at all or anyone to wipe your ass since there will be no children and thus nobody to do it.

And let me be clear: There is no solution to the problem of falling child-bearing rates other than to change the incentives for higher-intelligence, more-discerning men and women.  That means we had better stop demonizing those in that category AND we had better, right now and permanently, restore merit-only consideration for all things, stop putting American citizens BEHIND others and stop forcing Americans to pay other people's bills -- including those who make poor personal decisions, and not on a political lark either -- as a durable, demonstrably and legally enforceable change in how we conduct not just business but government right here in the US.  That means dismantling ALL "DIE" policies nationally under pain of prosecution and imprisonment as the unlawful discrimination that it is right here, right now with ZERO exceptions whether in government or private industry.

Oh by the way if you think that's really not necessary how many kids were poisoned in Flint and what color were most of them?  Why weren't the lead water lines which had been there for a hundred years poisoning people until recently?  Simple: They're not unsafe if you have competent people running the water plant, and Flint did -- the people running it knew what would happen if they didn't do their jobs with competence, the city hired competent people and they lived there, so they'd be poisoning themselves.

Then the city decides to change their water supply but in the meantime has forced out or simply hired incompetent people to replace those who retired who did not have the intellectual chops to understand the requirements.  The system was made unsafe by stupidity; rather than keep and hire people who had the intellectual firepower to monitor and balance the water chemistry properly they hired people who couldn't and didn't.  The result was a bunch of black kids being poisoned.

If you think this is an isolated incident you're wrong.  Its everywhere and you need look no further than Western NC for a prime example.  This is also why health has gone completely to shit -- rather than hire people who have the intellectual chops and will report honestly on what is going on we instead hire people who care only about money and either don't understand or don't give a shit.  The result of all of this, economy-wide, is the slow destruction of standard of living along with radically higher costs that make having children and building families uneconomic and literally physically dangerous.

You cannot force people to build families, you can only incentivize them to do so.  You threaten to and do screw kids down the road because of their race or sex -- specifically because they're white, male or worse both -- and thinking adults will refuse to have children.

They are doing exactly that.

In test after test for the last 3-1/2 years Harris and Biden have gone even further and put non-citizens ahead of Americans.  They have done it repeatedly, maliciously and without a care in the world.  Tens of billions have been spent housing "migrants" who broke the law to enter the United States at $300+ a night while zero has been spent housing American citizens displaced by natural disasters.  Billions have gone to Ukraine and Israel while the people in NC who got trashed by a storm are left with literally nothing and in fact have been stonewalled in their attempts to merely survive and rebuild their lives.  Rather than send in the ACOE and Seabees to get roads and makeshift bridges back in place on an immediate basis so recovery supplies can reach these people coal miners from West Virginia showed up with their own equipment and fuel and did what the government said would take six months to a year in three days, several other groups of "hillbillies" with their own equipment took the wreckage and fashioned multiple makeshift but serviceable bridges so relief supplies can flow into the impacted areas and thousands of ordinary Americans in fact did and still are buying and delivering said supplies on their own despite the government actively discouraging and in a few cases attempting to prohibit same.  This is a continued pattern of deliberate "fuck you" toward Americans by Harris' administration and her personally while at the same time we are feeding supplies and money to a war their party was involved in starting all the way back to Maidan when Obama was in office along with millions of illegal aliens they have unlawfully allowed to enter and remain in the United States.

I don't know that Trump -- and perhaps Vance after him -- will fix any of this.  I remind you that he did promise to neuter the medical monster in the 2016 campaign, I didn't believe him, I said so before the election in my column and literally on election night all three platform planks in which he made said promises disappeared.  I watched it happen in a bar in Pensacola at an election night watch party with my laptop on the table.

To be crystal-clear: I do not like Trump, I wrote dozens of articles during the 2016 campaign and over his four years as President critical of him and his administration and I'm unconvinced on Vance.  Trump bears full responsibility (and he has refused to address or take responsibility for any of it) for the catastrophe of the first year of Covid and his bullshit literally killed people -- and a lot of them too, specifically with the bonus structure he put into CMS, ventilators and Remdesivir.  He also failed to prosecute any of the states that shoved sick older people with Covid into nursing homes and thus slaughtered the other old and frail residents in said places.  That absolutely was a federal offense on several levels including, because most of those people were on either Medicare or Medicaid, federal fraud in the context of those programs.  He had every ability to throw thousands of people in prison for that crap and didn't so much as lift a finger, never mind "Warp Speed" which we now know was a disastrously bad policy that Biden and Harris turned around and demanded you be needle-raped with after, during the 2020 campaign, stating they believed it was dogshit.

But what I do know is that Harris has vowed to make every bit of public health, energy stability, immigration, and the economy worse never mind deliberately fucking over Americans while providing "help" to illegals along with other nations and over the last 3-1/2 years along with Biden SHE'S DONE IT so its not empty rhetoric or a campaign slogan -- its a realized and clearly stated goal she has been executing on, WITH MALICE, for nearly four years already.  And Harris has presided over record deficits -- and climbing, along with record inefficiency; Harris and Biden did not send in the Seabees and ACOE after Helene to put up temporary bridges and roads into the trashed areas, claimed it would take until next spring or later to make progress and a bunch of hillbillies reconnected Bat Cave and Chimney Rock using their own equipment and fuel in three days.  You paid for ALL of FEMA, the Seabees and ACOE in the form of HIGHER PRICES for everything while a handful of unpaid hillbillies with their own gear got done in three days what the government didn't even try to begin and thus demonstrated conclusively that in this regard government wasted the money and didn't do the job.

If America votes to fuck itself by electing Harris do not complain for the next four years because all you will get from me is a middle finger in response since you will be receiving exactly what you voted for and the record is clear and on the table for anyone with a room-temperature IQ who cares to look.

If you argue that any non-Asian nation has some obligation to, or "should" reduce carbon emissions you are an agent of said Asian nations.

Why?

This is why:

The debate is over folks.

This isn't my data, its independently compiled.  It is fact.  No other nation is material to emissions expansion and none will be so long as Asia is four or more times, and expanding at a near-vertical rate, that of any other area.

In short any such claim is an attempt to cripple or even destroy the nation in question for the benefit of Asia.  This is the very definition of sedition or even treason, and it is time that we make clear that any and all who make such claims particularly from the media or political spheres will be punished in accordance with their attempt to destroy the nation their demands are aimed at.

Yes, they're entitled to a trial first, but if they in fact have attempted to do so in any way the only appropriate penalty for destroying a nation for the particularized benefit of another is execution in accordance with long-standing principles and laws governing those who would deliberately overthrow or destroy sovereign nations for the specific benefit of another.
