Another reason (For me; if you want to lash out as well, help yourselves if you aren't scared of dying, useless cowards.) to go on a killing spree:

The killing may have to start w/ the manufacturer of this piece of shit.

Fucking goddamn Reagan-'phone not getting the shitty T-Mobile signal anywhere (although the Wi-Fi works). This a couple of wks. after the charging cable developed a short, requiring purchase of a new one. How much more of the non-stop abuse this nation of shitheels hands out to every one of you sheep on a regular basis am I (not being a sheep but a Gargantuan Rage Demon) expected to take? My patience is not infinite, esp. after 60+ yrs. of abuse at the hands of virtually everyone I've ever known. Assholes.

Dying for your country is just stupid.

But that's just me, w/ my "punishment should fit the crime" attitude.

Anyway, this is all very exciting, because it tells me that when the wretched old men who support Trump try to riot in the streets they will be effectively dealt w/ by younger, thinner, faster & much more intelligent people.

"Trump's People": Life Among Life's Losers

Read it & weep for your crummy country.

I found that a lot of Trump supporters had hard-luck stories. In New Hampshire, for instance, I met Linda Hall, a thin woman in her fifties with peroxided hair the same shade as Donald’s (both of them). In a rasping two-pack-a-day voice, she told me that she was born in New Hampshire but went to Texas when she was eighteen, “and after I got kidnapped. . . . Oh yeah. I was kidnapped. They put a great big gun in my mouth. I was sold for three hundred dollars. They told me I was going to Mexico, to a private island with Doberman pinschers. They said, ‘You cooperate or else they’ll make you suffer. You’ll never get off the island, ever.’ I called the police. They couldn’t do anything. They told me that somebody runs Texas and everyone has to go by whoever’s running Texas. The only thing the cop could do was take me to the border line, and I took off for Florida.”

[...]

“ISIS is in every frickin’ state right now,” she said. “Oh yeah, every state. I’ve heard that most of the people who are running Florida . . . a lot of them are part of ISIS.” She cocked her head in the direction of Littleton, her hometown. “Littleton’s an easy target. They’re already here. Oh yeah. They buy a place and then they buy like five houses right there. The families are moving in. And they don’t rent out to normal people like us. Some of them are running the stores.”

She was talking about the Lebanese-owned shop nearby, which had been there, a sign proudly proclaimed, for forty years. But Linda said she slept with a gun under her pillow, a .38 with hollow-point bullets, and that she’d bought a .45 for her eighty-two-year-old mother. She also had a ten-year supply of canned goods in her basement, ready, she said, for when President Obama left office. “I guess that’s when it’s all gonna blow. Stores are gonna be wiped out. Everyone I know, they all got weapons. They’re all stocked on food. You got to protect yourself . . . me and Mom. All our friends are saying, load up with plenty of ammunition, because after the stores don’t have no food they’re gonna be hitting houses. They’re going to take over America, put their flag on the Capitol.” “Who?” I asked. “ISIS. Oh yeah.”

Woman's been suffering from paranoia all her life, but is too fucking mental to realize it. Loves her some Trump 'though!

Gospel Of Greed

At one recent meeting with Trump, evangelical leaders noted how he often flashes a signature hand gesture, with a thumb out and a finger point† to the sky, as he enters and exits rallies.

"You see athletes do it all the time and it's their chance to point to the sky, to thank God for their success," said Pastor Mark Burns, CEO of a Christian television network based in South Carolina. "Trump does this all of the time, too. He's giving reverence to the man upstairs."

"Even with Mr. Trump's billions of dollars, he too still submits himself to God," said Burns, who has become a top Trump surrogate and a staple on the campaign trail, frequently introducing the candidate at rallies. "We should all chip in to help him out. You know, even a billionaire needs some cash flow."

St. Nick on a stick, how cynical a straw-grasper is Pastor Burns, & how dense are his marks? Added evidence that Xianity is all grift, all the time.

Srsly, any statistical weasels out there, how often does Trump invoke the Great Spirit? Many "Christians in peril in the Mid-East so we'll bomb the shit out of ISIS/ISIL/yada" statements, sure, 'cause Trump somehow believes more than 27% of the nation read & believe World Nut Daily, the Drudge Report & so forth, & that pandering to such chumps will get him somewhere, but little submission to anyone; doesn't go well w/ the strongman schtick.

Does he even spout "God bless America" as he leaves the stage to the hoots & howls of his lumpen fans?

Communist Pope Francis condemned Western powers for trying to export freedom, opportunity, prosperity, peace and modernity to the Muslim world.

Red Francis said Western powers need to respect the tyranny, abuse, intolerance and clan culture of countries like Iraq and Syria.

What a dangerous dunce.

What a delusional dunce. Dangerous? To coin a cliché, how many divisions does the Commie Pope have again?

And "commie" "communist" & "red", all in less than 50 words. (Isn't the politically correct & up-to-date phrase "Cultural Marxist"?)

Has the cretinous Mr. Hoft (at left, reacting to the camera as if what little remained of his very soul were being snatched) not yet noticed the passage of yrs. & the change of millennia? As much as this reporter despises religion & the superstitious, dimbulbs like Hoft almost make me sympathetic to some of the bead-rattling mackerel-snappers & Mohammedans being crushed beneath the admittedly slowly moving steamroller of wisdom & rationality.

Today's Great American: Wayne from ENCINO

ENCINO resident Wayne is the intersection of mental illness, tribalism & political activism.

A frequent City Hall critic was free on bail Wednesday following his arrest for allegedly submitting a public-comment card at a committee hearing that included images of a burning cross and what appears to be a Ku Klux Klan figure holding a noose and a sign with a racial epithet directed at Council President Herb Wesson.

Los Angeles Police confirmed that Wayne Spindler, 46, was arrested on suspicion of making criminal threats. According to jail booking records, Spindler was arrested last Friday and his bail was set at $75,000. He was released about 10 p.m. that night.

Spindler could not be reached for comment.

He allegedly submitted a public-comment card at a May 11 meeting of the council’s Rules, Elections, Intergovernmental Relations and Neighborhood Committee. The card, which is still available for viewing in a public records portion of the City Clerk’s Office website, indicates it was submitted by “Wayne from ENCINO.” The card also includes a drawing of a burning cross and a drawing of a tree with a person hanging from a noose.

In the middle of the card, there is a drawing of what appears to be a triangular-shaped person in a KKK hood carrying a noose and a sign that says “Herb = (N-word).”

Wesson, who is black, told the L.A. Sentinel newspaper he has become increasingly alarmed by Spindler’s actions and comments at council meetings.

“Criticism comes with the job and I can usually blow it off as part of the job,” he told the paper. “But the often harassing and threatening comments made by Mr. Spindler have become increasingly worse over time. It has risen to the point that I have serious concerns about my safety, my family’s safety, my staff’s safety and the safety of my colleagues on the city council.”

Wesson is scheduled to hold a news conference at City Hall Thursday to discuss the issue of recent hate speech at City Council meetings.

—City News Service

Oh look, here is Wayne (Perhaps an att'y.?) some time ago."The people who produce will leave the city. The jobs will go with them."His idiocy is incessant:

Mandatory retrofits can impose significant financial burdens on property owners, and only a few cities have passed such laws. In Los Angeles, those costs have killed past efforts to require owners to pay for safety upgrades.

Wayne Spindler, an Encino homeowner who owns several other properties, was dismayed at the prospect of more regulation.

“By identifying buildings as potential earthquake hazards, you’re depressing the prices and resale values of these properties. So this is a continued attack on the middle class and the renters,” Spindler told the City Council.

Councilman Tom LaBonge later offered a response to owners upset by the cost: “Before they cringe, I just want to say, I want to have them be alive.”

And then it goes beyond free-market fetishizing & ignorance to sad weirdness, as documented by the Los Angeles Sentinel:

Wayne Spindler (in hood) submitted a City Council speaker’s card (left inset)
covered with racist language and images directed at Council President Herb Wesson
on May 11. Spindler often wears a KKK mask and delivers threatening comments
and notes (right bottom insert) during City Council meetings.

From Ayn Rand bullshit to Nazi & K.K.K. threats in just six yrs. How does that happen?

F**K-U 2, Wayne Spindler. Then get some help from a licensed mental health professional. Or something. G-ZUS!

Once lived in an unheated dump in the 3500 block of Effie Street, the same (& the sunny) side as this remodel in the 3600 blk.

Note "gentrification fence".

At street level is a garage but who needs a car when Sunset Junction is just blocks away? Walk to the farmer’s market, coffee shops, and tons of great restaurants, shops and nightlife. Silver Lake living doesn’t get much better than this.

Don't believe the hype: There's a two-block hump up a San Francisco-worthy hill to get to Effie St. from Sunset Bl., & the closest thing to a supermarket w/in walking distance is the 99¢ Only Store. (U.S.$849.000.00)

Today In Contract Law, Or: C.A.A./Journey Get Chumped!

Not worth the paper it was written on:

The rock band Journey sued Monster Inc. Friday for allegedly failing to pay them $500,000 to play at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas in January in connection with the Consumer Electronics Show.

The San Francisco-born group filed the suit in Los Angeles Superior Court, alleging breach of contract by the audio/visual components company.

A Monster Inc. representative could not be immediately reached for comment.

The suit states that both sides reached an agreement in October 2015 for Journey to perform on Jan. 7 with a $500,000 guarantee. However, a Monster Inc. executive called a Creative Artists Agency representative for Journey in November stating that the website did not have the money “that they planned on having,” the suit states.

All the CAA representative received was Monster Inc.’s apologies, according to the lawsuit.

The suit seeks $500,000, plus interest.

NB: Despite the headline the idiots at mynewsLA.com slapped on this item,

Today In Family Values & American Mental Health

GREEN COVE SPRINGS, Fla. - A man abducted his ex-girlfriend Tuesday and then shot and killed her, her father and his ex-wife before running from the scene and later taking his own life, Clay County Sheriff Rick Beseler said.

[...]

"This is a terrible and tragic event for our community," Beseler said. "It brings to light the fragile nature of life and how things can happen in just a moment to ruin many, many lives and fracture many, many families."

Read further.

Beseler said Murray Lancaster kidnapped his ex-girlfriend, Valorie Short, at gunpoint from a Green Cove Springs hair salon on Orange Avenue about 9:45 a.m. Tuesday and drove her to the Magnolia Point Golf & Country Club.

Beseler said Murray ran into Short's father, Welland "Buddy" Short, there and then shot and killed them both. Officers responding to 911 calls about the double shooting at Country Road 315 and Medinah Lane found the two victims dead.

While responding to that call, police got another call about a shooting at the Rosemary Hill Road landfill.

Lancaster had driven there to find his ex-wife, Erica Green Lancaster, who worked there, and shot and killed her, Beseler said.

Took a bit more than a "moment", didn't it? Note well that the sheriff doesn't even mention that a gun is what enabled this sick fuck to obtain his revenge. But no one could ever possibly have known, could they?

Shooter had violent history

Lancaster, a Green Cove Springs resident, was arrested in March on charges of battery of Valorie Short and resisting arrest without violence.

According to the police report, Lancaster and another man were fighting. When ordered to stop, Lancaster turned toward the officer "in an attacking manner as if he was about to fight police."

After the battery charge was filed, Valorie Short got a restraining order against Lancaster, which he was later arrested for violating, deputies said.

He had a hearing on the battery charge scheduled for 2:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Clay County Courthouse.

“They were in a relationship and then they broke up, then things got crazy. It was an ongoing court thing,” Short's roommate, Brittany Burnley, said.

The Putnam County Sheriff's Office said Lancaster was fired last week from the Georgia-Pacific paper mill in Putnam County, and he made death threats directed at workers there, deputies said.

Because of those threats, the business was placed on lockdown until the Clay County Sheriff's Office confirmed Lancaster was no longer a threat.

Shut up, libtard, it's the price of freedom!

How "free" the victims are now is an unanswered question ('though some might say death is the only freedom from this world of shit & pain). Or is it all their fault, because they weren't as armed & deadly as their ex-family member?

Targets

Not the store, these wastes of oxygen & human skin:

One of the world’s exclusive gatherings of ex-generals, rich investors, movers-and-shakers – and even a former U.S. vice president – – will get underway Monday that an organizer says is designed to ¨build relationships that turn into powerful ideas¨and action.

You probably are not invited.

Retired Adm. Michael Mullen, a former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, retired Gen. Wesley Clark, a former commander of NATO forces, and former Vice President Al Gore will be among the participants Monday in the 19th annual Milken Institute Global Conference in Beverly Hills.

More than 3,500 people from 55 nations and 45 states are set to attend the conference, which features major investors, CEOs, senior government officials, scientists, educators and philanthropists participating in 200 sessions with the overarching theme exploring “The Future of Humankind,” organizers said.

“Our Global Conference builds relationships that turn powerful ideas into transformative action, especially in our core areas of access to capital, improving health care and spurring job creation,” said institute President and CEO Mike Klowden.

“Our ability to bridge the worlds of business, finance, health, education and policy has never been more in demand.”

Gore, now the chairman of the independent, private investment management partnership Generation Investment Management, will speak on investing in the sustainable economy and be part of a luncheon panel discussion on the future of humanity.

Other panelists include Mullen, now a senior adviser for the global asset management firm Providence Equity Partners, and Eric Schmidt, the executive chairman of Alphabet, a collection of companies that includes Google, of which he was the CEO from 2001 to 2011.

Clark, now the chairman and CEO of the international consulting firm Wesley K. Clark & Associates, will be part of a panel discussion titled “Global Risk: Challenges for the Next President.”

Other panelists include Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tennessee, the chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, and former South Bay Rep. Jane Harmon, now the director, president and CEO of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.

Monday’s other panels include “Conversations with Congress,” with Corker, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Bakersfield; and Sen. Mark Warner, D-Virginia; and “Governors Address Challenges Facing States” with Govs. John Hickenlooper, D-Colorado; Terry McAuliffe, D-Virginia; Rick Scott, R- Florida; and Scott Walker, R-Wisconsin.

The conference continues through Wednesday.

Not one of the above-bolded (by us) crypto-fascist (& often not so crypto) scum deserves continued existence. Not one. These are the people who are killing us & the planet. Most of them being tools of the fossil fuel industry, this reporter can imagine nothing more fitting than hanging their corpses from the awning of a gas station, Mussolini & friends-style.

String 'em up! ("Anybody got any lynch?")

Posting here may be light, I have bombs to finish & weapons to clean & load before the conference ends Wednesday. Expect a spectacular closing ceremony!

On Beyond Numb

Who fucking cares, & what possible difference could any of it possibly make anyway?

There is no reason, bring on the meteors & the pandemics!

UPDATE: Had not seen this when I was raging aginst the dull earlier, but yeah!

Human Extinction Isn't That Unlikely

“A typical person is more than five times as likely to die in an extinction event as in a car crash,” says a new report.

Try Harder, You Little Bastards!

The sooner you realize that every greedy pig you suffer to live will be taking oxygen & other resources from you the better.

Toddlers have shot at least
23 people this year

C'mon, kids, let's put some big fat zeroes after that shamefully small double-digit number. Are you even trying?

The case drew a lot of national attention given the unusual circumstances: Little kids rarely kill people, intentionally or not.

Get used to more & more of it as the drain of the behavioral sink continues to clog.

Last year, a Washington Post analysis found that toddlers were finding guns and shooting people at a rate of about one a week. This year, that pace has accelerated. There have been at least 23 toddler-involved shootings since Jan. 1, compared with 18 over the same period last year.

Strike A Blow For Freedom!

Hooray hurray, the First of May, employer murder starts today!!

Whack Your Boss!

It is the firm & inviolable policy of this web-log that freeing yourself from bourgeois morality & pathetic chump wage-slavery by killing that piece of humanoid shit who is always telling you what to do is the best practice. And if the Little Hitler telling you what to do is a spouse or parental unit, whack them as well! You have nothing to lose but your chains & that incessant nagging.

One Nation, Indivisible

Here's yet another of those "How America Breaks Down/Is Divided" articles that I like so much. W/ a map. Which won't downloadI can't steal w/ the over-laid text. Good job, N.Y.T.

What a dump.

Fine by me if everything but the Pacific Coast falls into the Atlantic & Gulf of Mexico. Keep fracking, fly-over country!
