Non-profit founders, beware. Select your board with great caution, as at the moment you succeed in achieving our objectives, you may be at greatest risk from the people behind your back that you thought were fully committed to your cause. And for the rest of us, please try to resist the urge to “Badjacket”, backbite and gossip. Bad-jacketing is a term for planting doubt on the authenticity of an individual's bona fides or identity. An example would be creating suspicion through spreading false rumors, manufacturing evidence, etc., that falsely portray someone in a community organization as an informant, or member of law enforcement, or guilty of malfeasance such as skimming organization funds.[1]...
...One might suppose that this would be the perfect time to build on success. Alas, James has been pushed to resign as head of the organization.
Imagine living on the frontier near the Mexican border on a large ranch with cartel traffickers invading every day. You are alone with your cattle day and night with no neighbors in close proximity, and you sometimes have to keep your lights off at night so that the cartels don’t notice you. Now imagine being charged with first-degree murder after finding a dead body on your ranch with no evidence that you killed the guy at all, much less that you wrongly shot him. The story of George Alan Kelly, while still murky and bizarre – whether the prosecution is justified or not on any level – still exemplifies the malfeasance of our government in surrendering our frontier ranches to the cartels.
The hideous notion that conservatives should always be nice is rearing its ugly and misshapen head again, and we need to crush its skull with a Louisville Slugger.
"...Neither being nice or being mean is the objective.
The objective is defeating these communist demons and reestablishing a free, strong, and prosperous America.
Niceness and meanness are mere tactics.
But by focusing on the tactic, the weak and the feckless can avoid facing up to the hard work of attaining the objective.
...They call it “meanness” in order to stop you from doing it, and they want to stop you from doing it because it is often an effective tactic, where “niceness” often is not...
Look, if some commie dork calls us “racist” – and they do it all the time – there’s no satisfactory rationale for not clobbering him. Yes, I know Jesus said forgive, but he also picked up a whip and drove the moneychangers out of the temple.
And then we need to be clear about the moral calculation.
We are up against bad people who
wish to disenfranchise us as a minimum, and who often wish to enslave or even murder us.
They support perverts who want to have sex with the kids who somehow escaped being killed in the womb.
They want your money, guns, and freedom.
They would happily march you off to the gulags if they could – Yah, Second Amendment! – and a lot of the nice guys who wag their fingers at us now would be standing there happily waving good-bye.
Meanness is a rational and reasonable result of righteous anger, and we should be angry.
We should be furious.
What they call “meanness” is simply the telling of the unvarnished truth about the evil perpetuated upon us.
What is irrational is niceness in response to these outrages, though in reality the default to nice is simply an attempt to avoid the conflict that victory requires.
Our objective is nothing less than our own freedom, and if it takes making the enemy sad to win it, cool.
"...What this means is, in theory, some super-fungus could take control of human behavior and make us eat each other’s brains like they do in that popular zombie apocalypse show that the author, Natalia Pasternak, has glommed on to in her 1,600-word fear-mongering article. It’s a fair question to ask, what might cause the evolution of a zombie apocalypse super-fungus? And if you guessed “global warming,” please give yourself a cookie.
“If species that were once geographically separated are forced into closer contact” by global warming, Pasternak warns, “this could favor the passage of viruses and bacteria — and fungi — from one species to another, increasing the number of possible hosts.”
...Pasternak, by the way, is no internet rando. She works for the World Health Organization and has a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a Ph.D. and post-doctorate in Microbiology. Here’s the kicker: Her most recent WHO podcast is titled “Communicating science, not fiction”...

...On Saturday, the MI GOP delegates made history when they elected a grassroots favorite, conservative powerhouse Kristina Karamo, as the first black female to the role of Republican Party chair.
Over at the Detroit News, it was all hands on deck as they joined forces with the spineless RINO Editorial Editor Nolan Finley to destroy her character and minimize her influence on a party that no longer wishes to be directed by the establishment...Much here, read all!
"This lawsuit is about the constitutional and other legal rights of Plaintiffs—businesses, employees, and residents in and around CHOP—which have been overrun by the City of Seattle's unprecedented decision to abandon and close off an entire city neighborhood, leaving it unchecked by the police, unserved by fire and emergency health services, and inaccessible to the public at large," the lawsuit stated.

The report also quoted Carlson as saying to Axios, "There was never any legitimate reason for this footage to remain secret."
Footage from the rioting at the U.S. Capitol was released at hearings from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 rioting.
"If there was ever a question that's in the public's interest to know, it's what actually happened on January 6. By definition, this video will reveal it," continued Carlson.

When people buy electric vehicles, they’re trading trips to the gas station for higher energy bills.

The top five dirtiest cities in the country are run by Democrat mayors, a new study has found.

Oh, the insecurities of youth! “Will I be popular?” “Can I play basketball as well as the other boys?” “Will the others let me hang out with them?” “Will boys like me?” “Will girls like me?” “Am I as strong/smart/good-looking/funny as the cool kids?”
Most kids and teens endure these doubts about themselves. It’s a normal part of growing up.
The Transgender Recruitment Model
Today’s transgender activists know this youthful insecurity very well.
They skillfully use it to get sensitive children and teens to identify as transgender.
The process goes something like this:
A child or teenager is worried about being accepted by his peer group.
The left-wing teacher (or school counselor) notices this and offers an alternate explanation: “Do you think that maybe you feel weird because you are actually the other gender?”
After skillfully sowing doubt, the counselor offers acceptance and reassurances that the child is special if he thinks he might be the wrong gender.
And who doesn’t want to feel special?
Once the student says the magic words, “I think I’m a girl” (or for girls, “I think I’m a boy”), the counselor praises him and invites him to act and dress like the opposite sex at school.
“We won’t tell your parents.
It’s our little secret. Everybody at school will now treat you like you are the opposite sex, your true sex. We’ll even help you get surgery that will make your body look like the opposite sex.”
Bingo! Another recruit for the transgender movement...
