Inforos + Various

Our latest bit of GRU collusion is out at Inforos:  'This Wednesday, Joe Biden, who this time last year was looking at electoral oblivion in the Democrat Primaries, becomes the 46th President of the United States. That’s a sentence this observer never thought he’d write. Donald Trump will ignominiously leave Washington the morning of the inauguration and head for Florida. This is probably the right thing to do. Vice President Mike Pence will represent the outgoing administration. In wake of the January 6th riots, Capitol Hill is blocked off with barbed wire topped fences and the city occupied by 30,000 soldiers.' Click on through.

We agree with Bill Maher once more. At the link he talks about Ashlii Babbitt, shot for the crime of climbing through a broken window, a Federal window(!). Maher lashes into Babbitt and the mob, but moves on to everything wrong with his home state of California. 'No wonder,' he says. Like we said, Maher is usually wrong but when he's right he's really right.

The Z Man again, a writer whom we think will have important and interesting things to say the next eight years: 'Another lesson is there is no way to reform this system. The sort of person who can win an election is either a careerist sellout like every member of the GOP or an outlandish outsider with no ability to govern. The only way forward for dissidents is to focus on building outside the system. A third of all adults and close to half of white people no longer think the system is legitimate. Every day the people in charge convert more people to this view with their authoritarian actions.' We expect the described process to accelerate. The regime learns nothing and forgets nothing.

George W. Bush talks about his relationship with Dick Cheney and missing his 'pals' since leaving Washington. W says he really doesn't miss DC. It's clear he ain't never going back. Just going away was the last thing W could do, and one of the best. The Clintons wouldn't go away and neither did Barry, who ran a shadow government from his Georgetown mansion. We hope Trump won't go away either. The new regime isn't going to leave Trump alone. So why should he go away?

Will in 19, 19 19FortyFive

Our very latest at 19FortyFive:  It was embarrassing, really. A few days after internet provocateur Matt Drudge broke the news of the Clinton/Lewinsky Scandal, the President took the rostrum, wagged a finger at the cameras and declared, ‘I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky…’ It was Drudge again who noticed that Clinton’s left eye seemed a bit darker than the right. Drudge posted blowup photographs of the president and indeed one could see just a bit of purple under makeup foundation. Hours later, beneath a red siren, Drudge proclaimed: “Source Confirms, Hillary’s Bullseye!”. The headline writers at the New York Post couldn’t help themselves, “Hillary Threw the Book at Bill!”. The President could deny the allegations but he could not withstand mockery and ridicule. Bill Clinton submitted his resignation three days later and, on Saturday, January 24th, 1998, Albert Gore Jr. became the 43rd President of the United States.

The Critical Drinker asks, 'What happened to our villains?' Reader(s) should watch the Drinker compares classic villains with modern Woke villains. The Critical Drinker is always right. In the World War 1990 universe we don't really respect the Politburo, we added a wheezing octogenarian to get that point across. And we admit to see the USSR as a big slab of beef which NATO slices up. We've portrayed a desiccated, collapsing system throughout but for the most part have avoided NPCing the commies.  We shall keep The Drinker's point in mind for next time. 

The Z Man writes about what the ruling class has in store for us and describes the current state of things perfectly. An old regime, an occupied capitol, a radicalized elite: 'The bottom line is, while the ruling class is partying behind their barricades this week, the problems facing them grow worse. It is more than a bit ironic that they have picked now to embrace a siege mentality and bunkerize the Imperial Capital. They have broken the country so thoroughly that the only thing that could possibly unite the people is the shared hatred for the people on the other side of those barricades.' As we've said before, the Capitol Hill riot was an accelerant. First slowly then all at once. 

Chalk this one up to Jewish mysticism, Top Rabbi: America is Collapsing, Israel must step up as new world superpower. There's tons of religious references for the biblically inclined. Remember, we taught in an Orthodox Yeshiva. Those people take that stuff seriously. Israel has a high tech economy, a massive pool of  specialists (doctors, researchers, scientists, tech guys etc etc), a huge R&D sector, a growing population and a fantastic military that would kick the ever living crap out of any European military west of the Vistuala - including the Brits. Israel is the number one regional power, with only Iran as a rival. Indeed the Imam's are right, the Jew is clever.

Bill Maher may not always be right but when he's right he's really right. News Busters reports: "Every now and then, Bill Maher shocks his fellow liberals with some common sense. Friday night was one of those days as the HBO host closed Real Time with a commentary lecturing them to not equate the violent thugs who stormed the Capitol with 74 million Americans who may have voted for Donald Trump because of policy. He also eviscerated left-wing California as a red tape-filled bureaucratic mess." This blog will always defend Bill Maher. Younger readers should have seen him back in the post 9/11 days, the way he took no excuses for radical Islam. Oh how he shredded the apologists. He was magnificent. Click on over and watch Maher. Who better a defender of free speech? Nobody. We'll revisit Maher tomorrow.
