Two Sevens Clashing

They Either Don't Know What It Is, Or They're Against It

From the yr. 1984. How do they know?
Not sure what to make of the LDS reference.

I s'pose the sheep have always been this way. They're apparently worse in 2026.

The evidence for this startling conclusion comes from the most significant opinion study you’ve never read or read about. Published in May, the Johns Hopkins Agora Institute and ReD Associates conducted an in-depth research of conservatives in three red counties in Michigan, South Carolina and Wyoming. The authors describe the content of “Faith, Freedom, Family, Place: An Ethnographic Study of Conservative Americans’ Relationships to Democracy” as follows:

This study relies on ethnographic research: sustained immersion in people’s homes, lives, and communities through extensive interviews, observations, participation, and relationship-building. Where much democracy research documents what people say they believe, ethnography examines how and why political worldviews take shape within the full context of daily experiences, relationships, and social environments.

The most fundamental issue the researchers attempted to resolve is the relationship their subjects had with what is commonly thought of as the American secular faith in democracy. What the study found is that the respondents either had a notion of what constituted democracy that greatly differed from what is taught in Civics 101 — when such a course is even offered — or rejected outright the very concept of democracy. In fact, the latter view was the majority opinion:

14 out of 21 participants in this study had an immediate negative reaction when asked about democracy . . . Sarah (mid 30s, WY), a homeschooling mother, put it plainly: “I don’t like the word democracy.”

Spotted at Hullabaloo. As noted, worth reading. No reforms or promises will give these people functioning minds that can be changed. Members of the "godless and wicked majority" who they think are "besieging" them had better get to work on actual besiegement, before it's too damn late.

Tuesday?

When I saw it was in Chino yesterday p.m., I figured it would be here today. But the estimated delivery date hasn't changed. Nonetheless, it's on the FedEx vehicle, so step on it, Jesus. My patience grows thin!

Mental Monday

Get Help Before It's Too Late For All Of Us!!

Bring anyone to mind? This reporter is reminded of several glaring examples in high positions.

Now tell me I'm not sensitive as shit, you heartless rat bastards!!

Can't Handle The Truth, Can He?

Every accusation is a confession, especially w/ this small but loud voice obsessed w/ denial.The right to free speech, unless you actually try to use it.

Jah Is Not Happy [Up-Dated]

Listen to this testimony.

 New York Times:
Crowds Evacuated as Storms Menace Washington Ahead of Trump Speech  —  Thousands of people stood in security lines for hours in severe heat to reach the National Mall, only to be ordered to leave as events were set to start.  Some refused.  —  Federal officials ordered thousands of people …

Was it the you-know-whos & their "space lasers" controlling the weather? Apparently not a joke to this person:

Who is effing "deranged" here?

Still A Shithole, 50 Yrs.Later

Patroitism is bullshit, & even for cretins like Yankees it should be non-existent this fucking yr. This reporter has had it w/ you people, your bullshit, & your bullshit country.

No, I'm not leaving. Everyting everywhere is made of shit why bother? I'm staying here to burn it all down & piss on the ashes.

Question Of The Day: "What To The Slave Is The Fourth Of July?"

Well?

Another question you sheep might ask: "What to the wage-slave is The Fourth of July?

Saturday Supercut

Close to two hrs. of tunes, chosen by a mindless robot for me! Not a one by Yankee artistes, you'll note. The robots know what I like. Assuming embedding this will play the other tunes as well. Every one good, if not a 20th century classic.So I'm taking the lazy way. Last note: Between seeing what was in "My Mix" & posting this the devil-box was off; the previous list was all reggae but the last, "I'm Movin' On" by Ray Charles. When I opened it again Ray had disappeared, & it was all Jamaican, w/ a few new ones at the end.

There's That Word Again!

HYPOCRISY!!

Cassandra Dumay / Politico:

‘Hypocrisy’: Congress wants more homes.  HUD is closing its low-income housing pipeline.  —  While Congress celebrates bipartisan legislation to boost affordable housing for working-class Americans, local authorities are scrambling to build rental homes for their poorest residents …

Marisa Kendall / CalMatters:   Judge shoots down Trump's homeless funding shift: ‘The hallmark of unreasoned decision making’

"Unreasoned", translated: He's a retarded fucking moron.

America speaks

Enjoy your phony wknd. filled w/ pseudo-patriotism & Nazi bullshit, you brain-dead chumps. You are all truly beneath contempt & I will see you all IN HELL!!

Flying Frogs?

Yes.

Actual Independence Day

Not The Fourth. Admittedly, "Declaration of Independence" is stronger than "Resolution of Dissolution".

Signing of The Declaration of Independence by Armand-Dumaresq, c. 1873

A letter from an American. More myth-making.

On July 2, 1776, the Second Continental Congress passed a “Resolution for Independence” declaring “That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved.”

Also known as the “Lee Resolution,” after Virginia delegate Richard Henry Lee, who had proposed it, the resolution was the final break between the king and the thirteen colonies on the North American continent that would later become the United States of America.

Historians now think the signing wasn't until 2 August. The Continental Congress did approve the final draft on 4 July. More. Added trivia.

There were 16 kids living in squalor in an Ohio home. Why weren’t they found sooner?

Uh, because no one in this hypocritical shithole gives one shit about anyone else, even "The Children" about whom they profess to care so fucking much?

Authorities wouldn’t publicly share the nature of the other investigation that led them to the house Tuesday. However, court records show a warrant was issued for Siders Jr. that day on misdemeanor indecent exposure charges related to alleged incidents on four days in May. He has pleaded not guilty.

Breeder scum. Put it back in your pants & keep it there. Makes one wonder what horrid things were they doing to their spawn, doesn't it?

The Weekend Starts Now!!*

*Well, 25-30 yrs. ago it did. Now every day is Saturday.

Thursday Troll Or Threat: You Decide

You think I need a fucking gun (which I didn't & don't have) to kill those who make me suffer? Think again, idiots!! Any sharp or pointed object can poke out your eyes or slit your damn throat.

Much more visceral & satisfying. Like strangulation.

A wk. in psychiatric jail sure helped me, didn't it? How 'bout you call the police again, Ratty, & see if two wks. in hell improve my outlook in any fucking way. Or three or four wks. of being warehoused. Now ask me why I despise each & every one of you horrid pukes. Why have you done this to me?

Daily Affirmation

Every day, in every way, I become angrier & angrier, because I am constantly being provoked by you fucking retarded dimbulb morons who let robots control you & your pathetic lives.

Words fail me.

Exactly how much more of the incessant lying, cheating & incompetence I deal w/ every fucking day am I expected to take from you cretinous shitheels? And why should I take even one milligram of shit from you subhuman jerkwads?

Let's hope "diarrhoea" isn't a developing theme here. Wouldn't have expected it to show up twice in one day.

Scared Of Something?

Notice that the Nazis are no longer screeching "Cultural Marxism" (Whatever that was.)
but have returned to the straight-up "Communist" smear.

Here come the frightened fascists & the whiny liberals, who've been running things into the ground for 250 yrs.

Jonathan Chait / The Atlantic:

There's Nothing Democratic About These Socialists  —  The DSA was formed in opposition to the very thing it has become.  —  The general idea that Democratic Party loyalists seem to have about members of the Democratic Socialists of America is that they're a lot like Democrats, but perhaps a bit more passionate.

Oh, Great!

A boil-water notice was issued Wednesday for a section of Koreatown because of E. coli contamination.

My bunker is quite close to the affected area. Not sure I boiled the water seen in the previous item for a minute, as is suggested.

On the other hand, can't make much difference to me. I already have all these symptoms regularly, other than the diarrhea & fever.

And of course existential agony up the wazoo.

Can't wait for this half of this miserable fucking yr. And I'll guarantee now that next yr. will be even worse.

Nobody Knows ...

... And Obviously No One Cares

Well, one of you does care enough about the slumlord to call the police because I was justifiably angry, but not to help me. You people are the best! No one has ever had such wonderful friends. Now you won't even squeal when I make threats every day. Chickenshit hypocrites. 

Road King

Almost made it worth leaving the bunker.

The Worse Things Get ...

The More You Suffer

Bend over, here it comes again. Worse shit, different yr.
