Breaking News

I read the article yesterday and it was very good for about the first half. It then seemed to be a case of the author trying to fill up space to reach the required number of words. The conclusion is not new and has been the generally accepted reason the mystery for some years now.

While it is well known that Malaysia is a fairly corrupt place*, I found some of the author's phrasing a little sensational.

* The Club Med, which opened on the East Coast of Malaysia almost forty years back, was the first Club Med in the world which had to install locks on the guest-room doors due to the light fingers of the local staff. At least that is what I recall these many years later. That being said, I like Malaysia a lot. One simply has to know what one is dealing with. The Bumis (sons of the soil, i.e. indigenous Muslims) have a somewhat peculiar sense of property rights.

I didn't watch last night's debate and won't watch tonight's, but I have read about it. The high point for conservatives looking for a giggle probably was Julian Castro discoursing on "reproductive justice". In his case, that means allowing transgender women (i.e., biological men) to have full abortion rights. Yes, you heard that right, Castro thinks men can bear children. And where's the fetus to gestate? Don't oppress the sexually dysphoric by asking that question. Clearly, Castro should be named Loretta in honor of the character from Monty Python's Life of Brian.

This link takes the reader to one of the most bizarre and perverted things I have ever read of.

At the very least, this guy should be confined to a small cell and only let out for a little sunshine once a day. Letting such insanity go unchecked is extremely unhealthy for any society.

The link is to an excellent Mark Steyn piece about the U.K.'s new P.M, Boris Johnson. Steyn worked for Johnson and knows him well. What makes the piece so good is its insight into, in my opinion, the way politicos think and work. While written in a jovial tone, it is in some parts a sharp indictment of Johnson. (And most politicians if one thinks about it)

Here's another nice one by Ramirez, which fits well into some of our discussions here. There's a reason I check him every day.

Exactly.



Ditto.



One wonders if the drive for “universal salvation” isn’t a part of this. Ultimately, that is about people not having to be responsible for their moral actions. It’s a perfect fit for today’s amoral consumerists and the entitlement mindset.



Yikes! Pussies!

Yes…as you say, the fear of lawsuits is a big part of this as well.

Yesterday, I watched the first episode of season six of a reality show called 24 Hours in Police Custody. I don’t know why I started there. It’s what came up when I clicked on the show title. The episode was titled Sex and Corruption.

This episode was about a prostitute in England. I had no idea that prostitution in England was legal. It won’t be for long after Muslims take over. But they can enjoy it for now.

Anyway, this one “John” finds a blackmail note on his car after having visited a “sex worker.” (“Whore” is a suitable adjective but times have changed, at least in England.) The blackmailer wanted 1000 pounds or he’ll let his wife and the world know that he’s used the services of a “sex worker.”

What this series never explains is why, with prostitution legal, anyone would even care. If you got your nails done at the salon, is that something you could be blackmailed over? In the show, one of the “police officers” (scare quotes will be explained later) notes regarding the whore (sorry…”sex worker”) that it’s her body and she has the right to do with it what she wants.

Okay. If that’s the premise, and prostitution is considered no different than stopping by for a Quarter Pounder with cheese, why would anyone consider this a blackmailable offense?

They never explain that aspect. As it turns out, it was neither the “sex worker” nor her pimp (they gave no euphemism for his role) who was doing the blackmailing. It was some off-duty cop surveilling the prostitute's trailer and using it as a way to make some (what he thought) was easy money. He had, of course, the special police equipment, not only for effective surveillance (making videos) but for finding names and addresses associated with license plates, etc.

If you have BritBox, please watch this because it will be difficult to make my point in writing. But you see how absolutely namby-pamby these police are. At every step of the way, you can tell they are trying to avoid a lawsuit. To say that they treat perps with kid gloves is an understatement. I was shocked that the inside of a police station could so resemble Kindergarten.

When I encounter a wasp nest (usually yellow jackets), I get a can of insecticide and have at ‘em. I took care of a nest this in the ground this summer that way.

A man (teacher, janitor, or whatever) employed at a school would know what to do. There are more than a few ladies who were (in times past) not only capable of taking out a wasp nest but could use a gun to deter varmints of all types. We’re talking wasps. It’s not a terrorist cell.

Now we’ve become a culture shaped by:

1) Nannies
2) Lawyers
3) Infantilism

If your highest value is safety, then take no risks.
