    Coach, if I posit that all the recent wildfires were arson- how would I be proved wrong?

Allow me to give more freely to my church and community.

    But my issue with it beyond my meager contributions to this board is: no one listens. There have been many great writers presented here. Jeffrey Tucker, gato malo, Denninger, etc. It's certainly easy to agree with their voices even when I don't agree with everything they're saying, but what has it availed us? I guess I'll proffer something simple.

    David, if you have the time and the inclination, I strongly encourage you to pursue writing. I began writing 5 years ago and while I have yet to be paid for it, my skills have grown tremendously, and more importantly, it has enhanced my use of the language. Most of all though, it helps me crystallize my sometimes scattered or disconnected thoughts into something cohesive. Also, when I do write, I often wind up uncovering and then exploring rabbit holes in my own mind that I did not even know existed, and never would have been expressed if I had not written that day.

    For what it's worth, I think your contributions here are among the most consistently meaningful and on-point that are offered. So...blog, book, web page, freelance, local newspaper, or here, I simply encourage you: write!

    Note that I don't have a remedy for the sentiment that no one listens - they seem to only judge. I gave up writing for a time, for that same reason. My best attempt to reconcile your complaint is with a rhetorical question: Should the truth fail to be spoken, simply because it appears no one cares?

See how that works?
    The California Fair Plan the indemnity fund of last resort, even to the point of becoming bankrupt. California is a failed state, therefore as it still belongs to the union all states as you say will fund the rebuild. California just got red pilled.

    Yngvi, a serious question, with all respect for you - do you really not know any native-born, white Americans who vote Democrat and approve of such policies for good faith reasons, however misguided you or I may find them to be?

    I may not be fully aligned with the slangs the kids use these days, but does being "red pilled" mean having Morpheus offer the pill of truth, or does it mean actually taking said pill?

    The worldview long operative here can account for the recent events without change, after all, and has done so with multiple other challenges over time, so the fitness of the image will depend on its meaning.

    “Red-pilled” – describes someone who has undergone this awakening process" Or in this case the whole state.

    No, I would never choose to live there.
    I hope good people choose to stay; that land is too valuable for Americans to cede without a fight.
    Anyway, those who flee will only buy themselves 10 years or so if the root of the problem is not addressed.

    Of course I know many of them... and I deride them as 'Californians'.

    However, the statistics and the history are very clear:
    -Before demographic replacement, California was among the most traditional/conservative/libertarian states in the nation.
    -Even now, the majority of White Californians vote Republican/Conservative/Libertarian by an almost 30% spread.
    -The demographics of illegal alien, H1-b, 'economic refugee', Jewish-American (since the majority of them have currently decided they are no longer White) or Black vote Democrat/Marxist/Extreme-Left by a 70%-80% margin.
    -The demographics of Hispanic-American, subcontinental Indian-American, Asian-American, Muslim demographics vote far-left or left with notable dissent against traditional American values, like freedom of speech or gun rights by about a 30% spread.

    We can even see it on a local level where the relatively White, multi-generational American counties, like Orange County still vote majority Republican and are governed relatively consistent with traditional American values.

    The replacement demographics in Texas have a more favorable cultural leaning than those in California, but we still see the same trends.
    Americans are a people; not a collection of ideas.
    If Americans are replaced, the place will no longer be America; it will be Novo-America.

    Ethnic composition is by definition a component of what makes a nation a nation; this fact is every bit as obvious as the existence of only two sexes.
    Ask any little child, any Black person, any Jewish person, any Indian or any Asian; few of them are shy about stating the Truth on this matter.
    The only people who ignore this biological reality are the 'enlightened men' of European descent.

    This is not a political view, this is not a bias, this is not an analysis, extrapolation or speculation or "ism"; this is simply a statement of obvious, undeniable fact.
    Like it or not, the Truth is the Truth.
    The Truth can be denied, but it cannot be changed; reality is objective.
    I am just the messenger.

    I appreciate it, thank you. I will definitely take it into consideration as I decide what I want to attempt. This board was a refuge for my thoughts, and I experienced exactly what you said with regard to ordering and maturing my thoughts.

    assessing the case for pardoning fauci - by el gato malo
    some snittpets...
    assessing the case for pardoning fauci
    laundry vs legalism

    dr joseph marine recently published this provocative piece in which he makes the case for pardoning anthony fauci.

    The Case for Pardoning Fauci - by Joseph Marine, MD

    In addition to allegedly lying to Congress, Fauci has been variously accused on social media of malfeasance in oversight of the type of virology research, which may have caused the covid pandemic. He’s also accused of helping to cover up a laboratory origin of covid.


    Members of the public have weighed in on different sides of the issue of a pardon. I am inclined to favor a last-minute pardon as Biden leaves office next week for the following reasons:



    2. Even if prosecuted, it is unlikely that Fauci would be convicted. Especially in deep blue DC where such a trial would likely take place. Fauci remains very popular and admired in many regions of the country. Finding a jury of 12 who would vote unanimously for a conviction seems an impossible task that few prosecutors would want to undertake, no matter what the evidence.


    4. A pardon would serve as a lasting badge of dishonor. Especially for those who would most like to see him prosecuted. If Fauci had done nothing criminal, then why would a pardon be necessary?
    a trial, whether or not it results in conviction, is a means to surface information. the actual conviction is relatively unimportant especially if it comes down to technical semantics about whether "serially passaging a virus through a murine model to enhance infectivity" constitutes "gain of function work."

    a court may run on technicalities, but public opinion can see a big obvious thing when the pachyderm is plopped into the parlor.

    here in our hyper-focused highly informed rabbithole of covidian assessment, it's easy to forget an important salient:

    most of america does not know this stuff.

    they still think covid-19 was a bat virus in a wet market or maybe a pangolin.

    and that is not a belief that we want to leave intact.

    most of the american public have no idea that the NIH paid ecohealth to create covid 19 then their leadership lied about it.

    they have no idea the the NIH as an agency and its staffers as individuals were paid royalties by moderna and bioNtech (pfizer) to license the mRNA payload for their covid vaccines.

    they do not know that tony and the NIH staffers knew this all along and were taking aggressive and deliberate steps to sidestep and hide from FOIA so they could keep coloring outside the lines and feathering nests.

    in our little slice of the world, this is common knowledge and common parlance, but in the rest?

    this is exotic information widely doubted and disparaged.

    so let's get all the definitive documents into court/congress and air the laundry.
    I tend to agree with the kitty. Even if a trial is a waste of resources and a distraction from the important work that needs to be done, this massive abuse of power needs to be recorded in the official record. While I am not a fan of the government using 'the process as the punishment,' if it deters some other future abuse of the system in this way perhaps it would be worth it in this instance.

    Either way, I predict fauchi gets his pardon on friday or sunday along with many of the other bad actors of the branch covidian leadership.
