Make ye a sword of me

Coriolanus is Shakespeare’s unspoken greatest. “For you, the city, thus I turn my back. There is a world elsewhere.” So says the Roman general, contemptuous of the citizens he has defended with his life, and upon close contact, sees that they are little more than rabble. Fiennes plays this immaculately, portraying the extreme, easily wounded pride of a man who is clearly suffering in his attempt to appear palatable to the masses. It doesn’t go well. And so he abandons them, and falls into the arms of his former enemy. It’s a magnificent indictment of unlimited democracy, and the paradox of the necessity of democratic deference to a kernel of authoritarianism if any semblance of democracy is to survive. Democracy without limits consumes itself. The irony is that Rome forfeited what could have been a luxuriant and prosperous 50-year reign at the hands of the man they, in their ignorant gluttony, exile, making him an enemy. Pearls before swine. I am a monarchist because I am a democrat, and I wish severe limits placed on democracy because I so desperately wish it to survive.

The daycare scam in Ohio is being exposed

You really have to hand it to the amateur journalists putting boots on the ground to get this footage.

The lid is about to fly on US welfare fraud

Posted on      by     

All it took to break the levee is a 23-year old Zoomer, teamed up with a Boomer who’s been investigating this stuff for years. The horse is out of the barn, and amateur investigators have become empowered, and are showing up randomly to addresses listed as daycares, and finding that they don’t exist. It is glorious. The jig is up. Time to fill a few prisons.

We’re in for a very interesting few weeks.

What’s with the trend of attempting to rehabilitate murderers of teenage girls?

Posted on      by     

I think it’s time to let go of the notion of absolute forgiveness. Some things cannot be forgiven, and some people cannot return to society as free men. Certain acts are too heinous, some crimes too savage, to consider even a drop of forgiveness. Certain violent crimes require something final, be it state-mandated execution or life in a concrete hole.

Here is where forgiveness takes us: In 1995, Kyle Hedquist executed a teen girl who was a witness to a robbery he’d committed. He was given a life sentence, but only served 28 years, when his sentence was commuted by Oregon gov Kate Brown, in 2022. He’s since been appointed (by the city council!) to the Salem Police Review Board, along with the Citizens Advisory Traffic Commission, and the Civil Service Commission. Imagine working along side such a monster, or, as a police officer, having your performance assessed by someone who at the very least should never have seen the light of day again.

Forgiveness, charity, empathy, are diseased-riddled sentiments when not tempered with a strong sense of justice. It shouldn’t even be conceivable to extend forgiveness to such a monster, but it happens every day in our legal system.

Hedquist’s victim was 19-year old Nikki Thrasher. Imagine how her family feels, seeing the news. Seeing this demon dress up like a dipshit dandy so as to appear approachable and “innocent”.

The Captain America we deserved

Posted on      by     

Arguably the greatest outcome of the endless stream of garbage Marvel and DC films, is that it has spawned an entire sub-genre of films and series’ that lampoon those blockbuster characters. Without Marvel’s unending, soulless output, we’d never had gotten The Boys. And without Chris Evan’s prudish, priggish, insufferably sanctimonious Captain America, we’d never have Soldier Boy. And that would’ve been a shame. Conjured up as clearly a mockery of Cap, the unexpected outcome is that Soldier Boy is the far more interesting, entertaining, and complex character.

Melissa Hortman’s murder hits different in light of Minnesota’s colossal welfare fraud

Posted on      by     

Minnesota rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were assassinated at 3:30am on June 14th of this year, by Vance Boelter, who was wearing a latex full head mask. Almost unbelievably, Boelter committed the murders in the presence of police, and was able to escape, only to be captured later.

At the time, speculation ran rampant that her murder was retaliation for her vote against funding healthcare for illegal immigrants. Her vote killed the bill. Now that we understand just how extensive the welfare fraud has been, we know that there were many fingers in pot.

Here is footage of Hortman shortly after her vote. Judging by this video, she is clearly in mortal terror. What’s even more telling, is that she was apparently too afraid to tell anyone what or who she was in fear of. Someone with real power threatened her to go along with the welfare fraud scheme by voting in favor of healthcare for undocumented migrants.

Will the Minnesota daycare fraud scandal result in arrests?

This is one of the craziest things I’ve ever seen. Not just the fraud, but the fact that the political apparatus in Minnesota is actively abetting it. Are Somali refugees such a powerful voting block that the Democratic party in Minnesota is too afraid to do something? Now that the lid has been blown off, what will even happen?

The dream of a US penal colony

Posted on      by     

How many felony assaults warrant permanent removal from society? Three? Two? Whatever the answer, it’s clearly less than the dozens of times this subhuman has engaged in this behavior. And talk of a penal colony and permanent exile sounds harsh to anyone who doesn’t have to directly deal with violently unstable people, or who are forced to live with them.
