Thanksgiving Thoughts

Hope y’all have a warm and lovely Thanksgiving.  It’s just me and my wife this year, kind of sad and boring.  Kids are all living miles away.   

We visited two of our three sons in Los Angeles this week, and drove home to Northern California on Tuesday.  We were amazed at the massive amounts of trucks on the freeway, numerous caravans, or so it seemed.  This may reflect a reopening of the supply chain and a rush to catch up commercial shipments.  If so, we may be able to do Christmas shopping after all.

The hateful left is very angry that three of their felon foot soldiers were shot by Kyle Rittenhouse (clearly in self defense) and he was not boiled in oil for it.  The wart hogs on the View were especially rabid and irrational.  

I tested my commenting system, which is a Disqus system, and found it absurdly difficult to use. Few want to jump through many hoops to comment, and I don’t blame them. I will either fix it or replace it soon.

Kyle Rittenhouse: Justice Is Done and the Left’s Pissed Off

Yesterday the Jury in the Kyle Rittenhouse murder trial delivered their verdict:  Not Guilty on all charges.  While folks on the right celebrated the triumph of justice, the left threw a riot in Portland and its pundits denounced the “racist” verdict and the triumph of “white supremacy.”  Since both the shooter and the shot were all white, the racial accusations were even more false and irrational than usual.

Screwball Democrats in Congress expressed a desire for a federal charge against Rittenhouse, to continue their worthless crusade against anyone who fights back at leftist violence and extremism.  The three thugs that Rittenhouse was forced to shoot represent the dregs of society who were in Kenosha to burn, wreck and ruin businesses and vehicles.  Rittenhouse was there to put out fires, remove grafiti from a school, and defend businesses from arson and vandalism.  The riot began as a leftist effort to protest the justified police shooting of yet another black criminal, one Jacob Blake, who accosted the cops with a knife, even though repeatedly advised to drop the knife and surrender.  Blake survived his wounds and is hopefully recuperating in a cozy jail cell somewhere.  

Once again we see how sides are chosen in yet another Democrat riot:  the left always supports the violent thugs over their intended victims,  always  criminality over lawfulness, and evil over good.  They are the sworn enemies of civilization.  

Behold the three (rotten) apples of leftist eyes.

Awaiting the Verdict in Kyle Rittenhouse Trial

The trial of Kyle Rittenhouse has ended and the jury is out.  Kyle shot three leftist rioters during the August 2020 riot in Kenosha, Wisconsin.  Videos and witnesses show Kyle acted in self-defense in fear for his life.  Most responsible pundits say Kyle should be acquitted.  He is charged with murder and other charges.  

The left really wants Kyle found guilty.  They support riots and rioters, hate this country and are determined to change it into a left wing authoritarianism,  either socialist or fascist.  Various leftist spokesmen have threatened more rioting and violence if Kyle is acquitted and this may result in a compromised verdict born of fear and juror intimidation.  I very much hope that Kyle is found not guilty of all charges.  

We are in a civil war with the far left, though it has not yet grown into open violence, the various riots not withstanding.
