Library porn & how to fight it

We have two Library Boards here in the small City of Coeur D'Alene, Idaho. The CdA Public Library and the Community Library Network. We also have a "Constitutional Sheriff", Bob Norris, and the usual assortment of Marxist trash seeking to control all aspects of education. The Marxists have less success here than most other places, one of the big reasons I settled here after Oregon went Full Commie.

One of the usual ways the Marxists establish their beach-head of force used to destroy American Values is via taking over Library Boards, and they have done that here. Americans gained back some ground last election when we removed two Marxists from the Community Library Network's Board, but that's only slowed down the Marxists, not defeated them utterly. At a Town Hall meeting, which the Sheriff holds quarterly, a citizen asked about children's access to books with inappropriate sexual context. Sheriff Norris said he'd look into that, and he did. He visited the Post Falls Community Library and found two inappropriate books there.

Enter the "Yellow" press, or cdapress.com to be exact. They publish this guy's guest op-ed. He outright accuses the Sheriff of theft. I have decided to reply and submitted this letter, not published yet:

Please accept my reply to My Turn writer Lockwood, who writes to accuse Sheriff Norris of theft as he took a pair of books from the library for the purposes of investigation.

 

Mr Lockwood, these books were accessible to children and their express purpose is to TEACH varied sexual practices. I suspect that you believe that expertise in carnal knowlege must be extended to children as soon as they can read.

 

Religion has nothing to do with it, Mr Lockwood. This is about a case which could easily cross the line into child pornography, and it is certainly the Duty of a Sheriff to conduct an investigation to determine if probable cause exists to prosecute for those charges.

 

Indeed, Sheriff Norris would be remiss in his duty by NOT making this investigation. As to you, sir, your zeal in promoting this possible child pornography is very, very telling.

 

Sheriff, wouldn't it be appropriate to issue the Library a Property Inventory Receipt in this case?

 

Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom.

 

New month, new prediction

Rabbit-Rabbit.

New month, new hopes, need more work on getting ready. End of first-of-the-month platitudes.

The GOPers backed down, passed a 45-day CR, so no default until the middle of November. GOPer hopefuls are having a good time pretending Trump doesn't matter. There's never been a massive write-in campaign in the history of our Presidential elections, but there might be one next year.

If that campaign were to actually ELECT Trump, but the Dem/Commies denied him his seat, THAT would start Civil War. Bright line there, yes. Time for blather over then, you're going to fight for Trump and your Constitution or you're going to fight for a tyrant to replace that document. I don't see a middle ground, do YOU?

In the meanwhile, look for Blue States to try to lock Trump out by refusing to accept write-in ballots. This will PROVE intent to have Tyranny replace the Constitution.

You read it here first.

American commerce and shoddy goods

There was a time in this Nation's history when we could produce quality goods in any desired quantities, and we had the logistics to get them to global markets.

That time has passed, and due mostly to the "woke" banks, all subservient to the Communist Chinese, our industries produce quality goods only in small amounts, usually only for local distribution.

 

Here are two examples from MY house: Example one: I usually buy Vanity Fair brand paper table napkins. Last week, while marketing, I noticed some in HIGHLY similar packaging, picked up the two different brands and selected the "Everyday" brand, it was a dollar cheaper for the same 200-count package. I get them home and load the napkin holder on my table. The new napkins are useful only as four-folded. Doubled, they don't work, they tear when wiping the mouth.

Example two: Activia Yogurt: I've used it for years, it keeps the gut-flora on an even keel. I still use it, but I will probably change now, since the makers ultra-cheapened the packaging. The company which used to make it, Dannon, is now called "Danone US" Here's the Wiki. The serving size is the same, 113 grams, but it's now packaged in a cheaper plastic tub which cracks open easily, and the foil top of the tub can't be removed in one piece to access the contents, it is very light material now, shreds as it's being removed. The contents seem to be the same as before the package-cheapening.

Okay, a third example. Passenger cars. There is so much plastic in the bodies of them now that a minor under-hood fire, which previously could be extinguished with a small dry-powder extinguisher, now requires a fire company, and if one isn't almost on top of you when your car catches fire, your car is only a pavement scorch 5 minutes later. The auto manufacturers will tell us they have to use the flammable plastic now, it's the only way to get the weight down enough that the smaller motors can propel the cars like we want them to. I conclude that the so-called "CAFE-standards" are killing cars and some people. Those folks are dying because of a myth, that higher gas mileage in cars will save the planet from a horrible (un-specified) fate. Of course, there are those Elites (spit!) who don't want us to drive at all...

Dem/Commies eating their own

New Jersey Senior Senator, Bob Menendez (D), and his wife, Nadine, have been indicted on a five-count New York Federal indictment of bribery and corruption, apparently stemming from him becoming an agent of the Islamic Egyptian Republic.

No tears here. Menendez is a rabid anti-rights pol known for attacking and subverting the Second Amendment. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Now we get to see how the Democrats react, especially how swiftly they act to remove him from the Senate foreign Relations committee, where he is now Chair.

This is a bad one for the Dem/Commies, and it will call for a prompt distraction. That could be some sort of attack on Russia, I notice that their Black Sea Navy HQ was severely damaged in a fire...

Definition of a Sacred Cow in Oregon

The cow has a name: The Oregon Innocence Project. It was the operative push to get the Marion County DA to pronounce the death of Trust in effective jurisprudence in Oregon. I just posted about this case here.

Here is a partial list of supporters of the OIP.

Pump Trump or Dump Trump, you decide

New poll from Daily Torch...

China, an Insider's View

This essay, long and complex, details the advantages President-for-Life Xi Jinping uses in his control of the People's Republic of China, and at the same time, it details where his ironclad control has led the PROC in the wrong directions.

Missing from this curiously strong introspection is mention of exterior relations. The only part of THAT mentioned is the undying thirst of Xi to annex Taiwan. Also not well-mentioned is the fate of the PROC's money supply, alluded to a couple of times but not really germane to this discussion.

All in all, though, this is a valuable look at the PROC, the Chinese Communist Party and how the people of China live, work and think.

Read it, you might have to come back a couple of times, it's not an easy, breezy read, but neither is the subject matter.

Climate change Elitism - 1500 private jets

It doesn't get any more in-our-faces than this: 3,000 attendees to the World Economic Forum go to Davos Switzerland in 1,500 private jets. Most of the jets have luxury seats for 8 to 12 in them. Two elites per airplane this time and they are already trying to get us out of our fuel powered cars. No, not just your Earth-Thumper SUVs, now it's all fuel-driven cars, even your 57 mpg Prius'. 

I don't give a flying eff what they discussed there, for me, this is elitism at it's worst.

Beto gets the Bum's Rush

Beto the Burglar, perennial unsuccessful candidate for TX Governor, crashed TX Gov. Abbott's presser on the Uvalde mass murder, and got the heave-ho. Good!

Dealing with the Lockdowns - Oregon version

There are two ways for the State Government of Oregon to make a Disaster Declaration. One is in the Oregon Constitution, in Article X, Section A. the other is an ordinary State Law, ORS 401.165, Declaring States of Emergency, referring to COUNTIES asking for this help, but they MUST provide details.

 

Have any of my readers seen those County Requests for Declaration? I haven't.

 

The ORS also says the Governor may declare such an Emergency, but it alludes to there being a requirement for details. I haven't seen Kate's details. Of interest to me would be which "models" or guesses she relied upon to declare the ENTIRE state was in mortal danger from Covid-19.

 

Hindsight is ALWAYS 20/20, and now we know that the original models and predictions were HIGHLY inaccurate, as they predicted death at the rate of 3% of population when, in fact, the actual death rate has been TWO-TEN-THOUSANDTHS OF ONE PERCENT.

 

Why will NO ONE of SUBSTANCE front up Governor Brown and ask for or DEMAND the answers to these "pesky details"?

 

Basing a major societal change which tosses constitutions out the window on inaccurate data has been done before, says my History Book.

 

For example, Hitler did it on 9/1/1939 when he invaded Poland and started World War Two in Europe, after declaring that Germans living in the section of Poland known as the Sudetenland were in mortal danger from racist Poles trying to kill them. Now the Democratic Party USA has done it right here, when our gullible President went along with inaccurate data (deliberately inaccurate or just sloppily inaccurate is still to be determined), so our Nation's economy lies in ruins after the two-month shut-down which was not required.

 

My take on all this is that it has now happened to the good old USA and can't be UN-DONE, so we need to bend our backs now, get back to work, rebuild our economic structures and above all, DON'T LET THE SAME CREW COCK IT UP AGAIN!

 

America, put on your working clothes, pick up your lunch pails, and head for your work-place. If the Management is too afraid of the government to re-open, first, tell those caviling wimps that you have their backs, and if they still won't open, kick them to the curb, go into the factory floor and start the production lines YOURSELVES!.

 

We are either the victims of the stupidest move by our governance ever, or we are the victims of a cruel political move to kill freedom. In both cases, the solution is GET BACK TO WORK, AMERICA!
