Trump Lies

Biden Broke up a Marriage

The kind of people who voted for Bill and Hillary Clinton, Barney Frank, Ted Kennedy, Willie Brown, Anthony Weiner, Eliot Spitzer, Bob Mendez, Andrew Cuomo, Rod Blagojevich, Charlie Rangel, and, yes, even Joe Biden all seem to suddenly have a problem with the Republican presidential candidate’s morals and ethics. Weird, huh? What, are you telling me that if Trump cleaned up his act and started acting differently, you’d vote for him? THAT’S your problem with him? Like the Democrats haven’t lied for years and years about the Steele Dossier or Hunter’s laptop, but, sure, Trump “lies about everything.” It’s all so relentlessly, unashamedly, performatively hypocritical.

Hillary Clinton: Like a Booger you can’t Flick off your Finger

For the love of God, please go away

Just so the Democratic Party is clear, and as a staunch evangelical Christian, I would vote for Satan himself before I’d vote for Hillary Clinton. She and Bill desecrated America and broke our political process, and I hate them for it. Look at all that they taught us:

  • Decades of allegations of rape and sexual abuse does not disqualify you from being President
  • Paying off your accusers isn’t an admission of guilt
  • Real estate fraud is just part of how you “get yours” in politics
  • “Pay for play” is how things get done in Washington
  • Having an affair with your intern is just cool, and totally none of your business
  • Being completely unaccountable for your campaign donations is fine
  • A trail of dead bodies of people who were implicated in your misdeeds is completely coincidental
  • Mishandling classified documents is not a big deal; everyone does it!
  • Leaving our citizens stranded in hostile territory to be killed “doesn’t matter”

And, after all of that, they’re STILL here, like a tick, stuck to our collective butt, ready to do it all over again.

Woodward and Bernstein made journalism the “good guys” by holding Nixon accountable for the heinous crime of… stealing a donor list from his opponent! The horror! Yet, in just a few short years, Clinton’s accomplices in the media turned the tables, and told Republicans and conservatives that none of these much more serious things mattered. “It’s the economy, stupid!”

Any Democrat who voted for EITHER Clinton has no right to lecture a Republican for voting for Trump. After 30 years of liberals demonstrating that “your” candidate’s morals and ethics don’t matter as long as you like their politics, you can’t be upset when the other side has finally learned the lesson too.

Pain and Treatments

My health “journey” continues. I paid $500 for a genetic test that — of course — insurance doesn’t cover. I finally got the first half of the results.

I failed.

Turns out my body is deficient at basically everything related to my current condition… which is probably why I’m in this position. My genes make me both more susceptible to pain AND less able to deal with it, and I have no genes that would make therapeutic treatment of pain or depression easier. All of my mutations related to possible treatments are bad, and will have to be worked around.

NSAID’s are literally cancerous for me. Stunningly, I can’t process opiates. I’ve always thought that they didn’t do anything for my pain, rather just made me care less. Turns out that’s actually true, but I just thought that’s how they worked. No, they actually REDUCE pain for OTHER people (in addition to making them care less). But, hey, that’s OK. Not one of 18 doctors in three and a half years was willing to prescribe them to me anyway.

At least now we can get started with actual treatments, knowing what WON’T work? I guess? Doesn’t seem to leave me a lot of options, though.

Windows Being Windows, Shills Being Shills

Windows stays prominent because Microsoft caters to corporations which abuse the poor, defenseless OS into doing things like locking users out of changing the desktop background and the sleep timeout. Until Apple offers power-hungry corporate IT middle managers the same level of user-hostile malfeasance in the name of “security,” Microsoft will hold the high ground in corporate deployments.

This becomes a self-perpetuating cycle of not-so-micro-aggressions, as the corporate use of Windows continues to skew all the Microsoft-bought-and-paid-for industry polls that show how much more prevalent Windows is over OSX, and self-justify corporate America that they’re doing the right thing by continuing to stick with it. This, in turn, leads to an entire sub-industry of corporate “security” software which must be installed on Windows, because, well, the bought-and-paid-for auditors told them they had to.

Thus, I wind up with a corporate laptop with 3 different “endpoint” security products installed on it, and something like 30-40 different scripts and checks that run almost by the hour to make sure that the inherent weaknesses of Windows hasn’t compromised our precious meeting PPT’s, which #CorporateIT apparently considers as sensitive as the US nuclear arsenal codes.

Apple offers an alternative to this madness, and I’m very glad they do. In my experience, almost no one runs Windows personally, except for gaming purposes. Numbers like StatCounter vastly over-report Windows usage, because everyone working for a large corporation and in the government is forced to use Windows.

I wish someone would produce a market share report that 1) separates corporate purchases and 2) includes phones as primary computing devices. I think we would see that the “computing world” is vastly different than Gartner would have us believe.

The Harry Potter “Community”

I picked up the video game Hogwarts Legacy on sale for the PS5. Despite never having read a Harry Potter book, or ever watching one of the movies all the way through, I’ve enjoyed the game, and I love the imagination of the world. But a very large, very vocal “community” of die-hard Harry Potter fans have been waging a continuing cultural war with J. K. Rowling over her position on transgender women.

I cannot fathom why someone would make Harry Potter their entire personality, and then fight with the person who created the world, as if they could divorce the two. People: just do what everyone else has had to do for decades with Hollywood movies that star people who are political lunatics (right AND left) when the cameras stop rolling. Disconnect the product from the producer. Enjoy what you want. Ignore what you don’t.

It’s not like they’re going to change the situation, trying to embarrass or harass a literal billionaire into changing her mind or forcing her to stop commenting about the topic. She has reached the point of being untouchable by any mechanism they have at their disposal.

Until she decides she’s done, and “George Lucases” the franchise to Disney, they’re stuck. But if that does happen — I mean, who could have foreseen that Lucas would sign away Star Wars? — they’ll be ecstatic. The milieux will be destroyed, but it will go down checking all of the boxes they care about.

Church Embezzlement

There were a lot of stories in the 80’s about Jim and Tammy Baker embezzling millions from their church. Closer to home, there have been stories about UPCI preachers embezzling hundreds of thousands of dollars from their local churches. When I hear stories about church embezzlement now, as someone who has been deeply involved with a church for 30+ years, I’m realizing that it’s not just about the money that was selfishly and illegally extracted out of the church. There’s an additional “opportunity cost” of what that money could have done in the mission of the church: more staff, more programs, more outreach; more of the work the church is supposed to be all about. And as someone who supports the idea of the mission, it’s an added disappointment to an already-dismal occurrence.

Big Companies

Have you ever worked in a big company? Say, more than 1,000 people? I’ve spent the majority of my 30 years so far working at three Fortune 250’s.

Have you ever seen a manager do things that promoted their personal success, knowing it was at a cost to their peers or their subordinates? Have you ever seen decisions get made that you know are going to hurt the company in the long run, and which run counter to the company’s stated goals? Have you ever watched people do things to better their careers and boost their compensation packages, and then exit the organization, and leave a giant mess for everyone else?

Boy, I sure have. I’ve actually seen this sort of thing A LOT. I could write a book about it.

With all of this in mind — and while still trying to make sense of some recent events in my life — it has occurred to me that every corporate church organization is — at its core — just another big company.

Oh, wait, someone already wrote that book: https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2009/10/07/the-gervais-principle-or-the-office-according-to-the-office/

Fact Check: About Those Comparisons Between Trump and Clinton on ‘Hush-Money’ Payments

While the two events might initially appear similar — two former presidents paying money to women with whom they had sexual relations — it is important to acknowledge the full context surrounding the two events. When that context is taken into consideration, the two events stop looking similar.

The largest and most important difference is that Clinton and Jones mutually reached an out-of-court settlement stipulating that Jones would receive $850,000; Trump privately arranged his payments in order to keep Daniels from speaking publicly in the first place.

If you want to split hairs to try to find a distinction between these two scenarios, how about I also point out that Jones was accusing Clinton of sexual assault, and whatever interaction Daniels had with Trump, it was at least consensual. So, you’re absolutely right, Jack Izzo of Snopes, these two cases aren’t very similar at all, are they?

Corporate IT “Support”

I couldn’t mount network drives on my work laptop, so I opened a ticket. That was FIVE weeks ago. The ticket was closed by the first person after 3 days without even contacting me. I immediately re-opened it, and it proceeded to worm its way through an additional EIGHTEEN people, and finally came back to the original person who closed it, who — for at least the 4th time in the email chain — asked me questions I had “pre” answered in the original complaint.

Disgusted, I finally took a couple of hours, and figured it out myself. When I was finishing up, and documenting the fix on the ticket, the first guy contacted me on Teams, and asked me to bring the laptop into the office and try to do what I’ve shown over and over in screenshots couldn’t be done.

I guess I’m just lucky that I have admin rights on my laptop.

FWIW, the problem started when I installed WSL to test using for developing Rails apps. When I recognized the coincidence, and since I hadn’t actually used it yet, I uninstalled the Ubuntu image. This wasn’t enough to fix the problem.

The error message was clearly about not being able to resolve machine names, but I didn’t want to monkey around with the resolution settings because #CorporateIT does nasty things to our laptops, and I was afraid of screwing up their configuration.

I finally removed WSL entirely, and got a different error message when trying to mount a drive, which led me to this Stack Exchange post. I copied the registry setting from a computer which works (which was the same as what was listed in the top answer), and all was sorted again.

To me, the worst part of this charade is that the “original” guy will get the credit for “resolving” the issue, and that really burns me.

The Downfall of the West

I’m watching the end of civilization in real time on Twitter. Between Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, I’m watching Europe eagerly import the same culture that has made the Middle East a nightmare for the past 1,400 years.

I have several questions.

Who’s deciding to do this? There has to be a significant coalition of people who are all working together to accomplish this. This would involve people at all levels of government.

Who’s funding it? Moving this many people at roughly the same time (granted, over the course of a few years) takes money. A lot of it. Who’s paying for it? George Soros? Embezzled tax monies?

Finally: why? What’s the goal? Of all the questions, this seems the most straightforward to answer, and it’s the most depressing of all.

White liberals are dooming Western society in a mass self-immolation event. They seem to literally prefer the end game of an Islamic state to the current Christian-themed free society. If they think that fundamental, evangelical Christians are somehow repressive of their personal liberty, just wait till they see what’s waiting at the end of Sharia law. How can people be so obtusely oblivious and hypocritical?

For instance, look at the “queers for Palestine” protests. I literally can’t even. Islamic states would literally stone those protestors to death for their lifestyle and their dress. What on earth are they thinking!? The enemy (Palestinians) of their enemy (Zionist Israelis) is most-definitely NOT their friend.

The video is only 12 minutes, but here’s the full transcript, because I think this is so important.

Hello, Hungary, hello, Budapest, hello, fellow Europeans and American friends. Thank you so much for having me. Allow me to skip formalities for a moment and dive right into a subject that is not so cheerful, but very, very necessary to discuss.

Let me walk you through the past seven days in Europe. This week in Stockholm, three elderly women in their 70s were stabbed in broad daylight on the streets. In London, four people were stabbed in a time span of just 42 hours.

In Paris, hundreds of African migrants took to the street to riot. And in Brigolo, also in France, yet another church was burned down to the ground. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is just a few incidents in just a couple of days on our beautiful continent.

But we all know that these incidents aren’t incidents anymore. If there’s one thing that’s for sure, it’s that we know, and our governments also know, that there is a link between mass migration and crime. In a Dutch city of Dordrecht, something interesting happened the other day.

They announced, and this is a small city in the Netherlands, in my home country, that a new asylum center will be put in that little town. And what did the municipality do? They said, we are going to offer citizens who live in the vicinity of this center a thousand euros to take extra safety measures. Our new reality in Europe consists of frequent rapes, stabbings, killings, murders, shootings, even beheadings.

But let me be clear about one thing. This did not used to happen before. This is a newly imported problem.

Samuel P. Huntington predicted this over 25 years ago, when he wrote, and I quote, in the new world of mass migration, the most pervasive, important, and dangerous conflicts will not be between the social classes. They will not be between the rich and the poor. They will be between peoples belonging to different cultural entities.

Tribal wars and ethnic conflicts will occur within civilizations. Well, boy, was he right. And the worst part is, we as a society seem to have become indifferent to it.

When another white boy or white girl dies at the hands of an immigrant, we might shake our head, we might let out a sigh, we might even get angry for a minute or two, and then we go on with our lives. We offer the family thoughts and prayers, but nothing ever changes. Ladies and gentlemen, what does that say about us? This is the response of a society that has already given up.

A society that has already accepted its defeat. But is this true? Have we given up? Do we really accept the new reality that our globalist leaders have in mind for us? I know one thing for sure, and that is that if nothing changes, if we don’t start to seriously fight for our continent, for our religion, for our people, our countries, then this time that we live in will go down in history as the time in which Western nations no longer had to get invaded by hostile armies in order to be conquered. This time will then go down in history as the period in which the invader was actively invited in by a corrupt elite, and not only did this corrupt elite invite the enemy in, they made the native population pay for it too.

Everyone who has eyes can see it. The native white Christian European population is being replaced at an ever-accelerating rate. Let me back this up for you with some statistics from my home country.

Let’s take Amsterdam, the capital. Amsterdam currently consists of 56 per cent migrants. The Hague, 58 per cent migrants.

Rotterdam, almost 60 per cent migrants. And, of course, most of these immigrants come from non-Christian, non-Western, African and Middle Eastern countries. Conclusion, the Dutch population is already outnumbered in the majority of our cities.

But let’s look onwards. London, 54 per cent migrants. Again, conclusion, native population outnumbered.

Brussels, colour me shocked, 70 per cent migrants. Conclusion, native population majorly outnumbered. And other Europeans will, of course, follow suit soon if they haven’t already.

So, I’m going to draw the forbidden conclusion here. The Great Replacement Theory is no longer a theory. It’s reality.

And what’s interesting about replacement is that the establishment will either deny its existence or, when they admit to it, they say that it’s a good thing that the native European population is soon no longer a majority on its own continent. Dutch national disgrace and dubbed climate pope, Frans Timmermans, already stated in 2015 that diversity is humanity’s destiny. And that Europe will be diverse.

And, of course, by now, I think we all know what they mean with the word diversity. It means less white people, less of you. Imagine this in an Asian or an African country.

Imagine their leaders rejoicing in the fact that their people will soon no longer be a majority in their own country. Absolutely unthinkable. Unimaginable.

So, what in the world is wrong with our leaders? The underlying sentiment of what they say is always the same. Our establishment claims that white people are evil and that our history is somehow fundamentally different from that of others. Consciously or unconsciously, they have sucked up the lies and the anti-white dogmas of the neo-Marxist critical race theory.

That’s why the totalitarians in Brussels are trying to force you, the Hungarian people, a sovereign nation to accept immigrants despite the fact that the population has said no and so has the government. But make no mistake, the majority of the Dutch people haven’t asked for this either. Just like Brussels is forcing Hungary to accept these words of immigrants, they are doing the same now even in the smallest of towns in the Netherlands.

No part may remain Dutch in the traditional sense of the word. No part of Europe may remain European. And it’s not difficult to understand why.

If the old Europe still exists in certain places, then people will be able to compare the new Europe to the old and newsflash, they will prefer the old. That’s why the Eurocrats hate Hungary so much. And their message is clear.

Our way of life, our Christian religion, our nations, they have to go without exception. Their vision of the future is the neo-liberal, unrecognisable Europe, where every city becomes kind of like Brussels. Ugly, dirty, unsafe, zero social cohesion, where the buildings are constantly under construction and they never, ever seem to finish, and even when they do, the end result is uglier somehow than what they started with.

And what are we left with? A permanent state of isolation, confusion, and disorientation. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the New World Order. So what’s the antidote? A strong, Christian Europe of sovereign nation states.

That’s why we need to outright reject the lie that nationalism causes war. It’s not nationalism or national sovereignty that causes war. It’s expansionism.

And where in Europe do we find that nowadays? In one place and one place only, Brussels. Isn’t it funny how the same people who erode our national sovereignty and love to do it, give it all up to the Eurocrats there, that those people are now telling us that we need to spend billions and billions of euros on the national sovereignty of Ukraine? It’s a joke, honestly, and it’s a pretty sick, expensive, and dangerous joke. During a recent interview, I got asked by an interviewer, do you think that you ever go too far? Do you think that you’re ever too radical? I thought about it for a second, and I said, no.

No, I don’t think I go too far. Truth be told, ladies and gentlemen, I think we in Europe do not go far enough. I think that if we really think about the organized, structural attack on our civilization, that we don’t do enough.

Do we do enough to stop the attack on our families, on our continent, on our countries, on our religion? When we hear about another murder, another stabbing of a young, innocent child, do we do enough? When we know that our national sovereignty has been given up in less than a century to Brussels, do we do enough? When we hear that Christian kids in Germany are now converting to Islam to fit in, do we do enough? I don’t think so. The totalitarian institute of the European Union needs to come down. Let me be clear, I don’t believe in reforms.

When the foundation of your institution is rotten, and that is the case in Brussels, you can rebuild the house on top of it all you want, but it’s still going to crumble. So the only answer is the Tower of Babel needs to be destroyed. Ladies and gentlemen, we are the daughters and sons of the greatest nations on earth.

And we need to ask ourselves, what has happened to us? Where do we come from? And more importantly, where are we going? Our elites have declared a war on us, and now it is time for us to put on the full armor of God, fight back, and win. Thank you so much.
