How Helene Affected The People Of Appalachia

To begin with, this is your president. This ought to be one of the most shameful things ever said by a sitting president. "Do you have any words to the victims of the hurricane?" BIDEN: "We've given everything that we have." "Are there any more resources the federal government could be giving them?" BIDEN: "No." pic.twitter.com/jDMNGhpjOz — RNC Research (@RNCResearch) September 30, 2024 We must have spent too much money on Ukraine to help Americans in distress. I don't…… [read more]

Color me shocked!  If only someone would have said something about this.  Or someone else, perhaps.

Remus passed away on July 8th. He was diagnosed with cancer 3 weeks prior.

I’m sorry to hear that.  I will miss is prose.

Michigan Couple Charged With Felonious Assault

BY Herschel Smith

Must be some “woke” prosecutor.  This is the first time I had seen this video.

So the law isn’t set up to protect you from, or prosecute those who perpetrate, insult or inappropriate behavior.  But it is indeed set up to prosecute threats.

From the video, this woman (the black woman in the video) is guilty of threats.  The couple cannot but help to take it seriously.  To do otherwise would be unwise.

Why Marxism Survives

BY Herschel Smith

Joe Huffman, quoting Sir Roger Scruton.

It is not the truth of Marxism that explains the willingness of intellectuals to believe it, but the power that it confers on intellectuals, in their attempts to control the world. And since, as Swift says, it is futile to reason someone out of a thing that he was not reasoned into, we can conclude that Marxism owes its remarkable power to survive every criticism to the fact that it is not a truth-directed but a power-directed system of thought.

And we all know the signal pathology of the wicked, right?

Marxism exists because of Genesis Chapter 3 and original sin.

Yea, I don’t put lube into holes like that.  I do, however, run a little bit on the firing pin and cam in addition to the recommended friction surfaces.

The Revolutionaries Would Have You In Poverty And Danger Because Of The Color Of Your Skin

BY Herschel Smith

They hate you.  You cannot bargain with them, you cannot compromise with them, you cannot appease them.  They want to control you.  They want you dead.

Work all of your life for wealth that you intend to pass down to your progeny, noted as a good thing by The Lord of the universe (Proverbs 13:22)?  Want to protect your family, home and hearth because that’s what God has ordered you to do?

Too bad.  Contrary to the Biblical notion that sin cannot be ascribed to the innocent, and that sin is NOT collective, the revolutionaries want you in poverty and danger.

The City of Seattle held a racially segregated employee training session aimed at White staffers and instructing them on “undoing your own whiteness” in order to be held accountable by people of color, according to documents obtained by a public records request.

The session took place on June 12, as protesters took part in the so-called “Capitol Hill Organized Protest” in the Capitol Hill district.

One handout distributed in the session reportedly declared how “racism is not our fault but we are responsible.” Another said White staffers must give up “the land” and their “guaranteed physical safety” in order to be an “accomplice” for racial justice.

Do you understand?  Give up your land, give up your safety.  Be in poverty, be raped and be beaten.  Give up your guns, give up your belongings.

I don’t know what the easy thing to do is, but I know what the Godly thing is: never give up your guns, never give up the wealth you intend to pass to your children’s children.  That’s what the “good” man would do.

Dressed For The Party: Models And Crisis Actors Play Prominently In Current Events

BY Herschel Smith
4 years, 5 months ago

H/t WiscoDave, this girl is a model.  My bet is that this girl is a model too.

I simply can’t see either of these two girls eating dirt in a ditch during field exercises or being screamed at by RSOs.  So the moral of the story is this.  You can take their group and the rest of their ilk seriously, or not, that’s your judgment.

But what you do know for sure is that there is big money backing these groups up.  Big money = crisis actors.

About one month ago my oldest son sent this to me, and I literally laughed out loud when I watched it.  He suspected it was all fake, and I assured him that it was.  Tell me if you really believe this isn’t all fabricated?

Basically, you can’t believe any of what you hear or see over the television – the television is for idiots and fools.  You also can’t believe what the MSM writes, but you knew that already.

2 + 2 ≠ 4: That Math Stuff Is Just A Western Social Construct Anyway

BY Herschel Smith
4 years, 5 months ago

PJM.

“Nope the idea of 2+2 equaling 4 is cultural and because of western imperialism/colonization, we think of it as the only way of knowing,” wrote Marshall (HT: Disrn). Never mind that the Arabic numeral system we use is not, you know, “Western.”

Marshall goes by the pronouns “she/her” and describes herself on Twitter as a “teacher, scholar, social justice change agent, Chicagoan, PhD student, architecture enthusiast, wannabe math person, BLM always…”

2 + 2 ≠ 4 is alright if you don’t mind buildings and bridges falling down, and machines not working right, and engineers not held liable in court for calculations with errors.  As to the second comment, “Never mind that the Arabic numeral system we use is not, you know, “Western,” that’s as ridiculous as the idiotic twitter post she cites.

Numbers aren’t Arabic, or Chinese, or Western, or anything other than logic.  Mathematics is a reflection of the mind of God.  It’s the way the world works because it was made by Him and it’s how man thinks because we are made in His image.  2 + 2 = 4, sin(θ), cos(θ) and pi() are all what they are, and dN/dt = P -λN solves in closed form to (P/λ)(1 – exp(-λt)) not because someone says so, but because God says so, and thus it will always be, never to change, not even in eternity, because God is immutable.

Mathematics allows man to take dominion over the world, as ordered by a Holy God, for the glory of His son.  It allows man to create, to construct, to repair, to ameliorate, and to make life better.

So I assume that it’s okay with Brittany Marshall if she and other blacks are rolling over a bridge the moment it collapses, the bridge being designed by black engineers who do not believe in mathematics or physics.
