Cooler, then warming later. Rain. No rain. Light rain. Who knows. We got all of them yesterday at some point. It is nice starting the day cooler, gotta admit that, even if it comes with the rain.
Did a bunch of driving around to pick up stuff. Did some kid chauffeuring too. DIDN’T do the prep I should have for my club. I’m supposed to be providing some laptops for powerpoint, and maybe signage. I’ve got ’em, just didn’t get them all loaded with PPT and ready. I’ve been busy with other things most days.
So I’ll do my meeting, run up north for a double pickup, then head home to do some stuff I should have done already.
Family is going to visit east coast relatives next week. I’ll be headed to the BOL for most of it. Nightraker, if you are still living in the same place, drop me a line? I think you are nearby…? I don’t like splitting the group, especially when air travel is involved, but we still have to live our lives, and seeing family is important.

Had a chat with D1 while we were driving. It was mostly about my prepping philosophy and timing. And how hard it is to get the timing right, vis Jews leaving Germany ahead of WWII. Better to be too early than too late, I think, and how that applies to our lives and what I expect to see in the next few years. Hopefully it made sense to her.
She’s growing up before my eyes, and it should be helpful to have her ‘on board’ with the why as well as the what.
Times are changing. The system has inertia, massive amounts in most areas, but enormous forces are being brought to bear. The critical decisions have already been made and when we look back, we’ll be able to see when we crossed the line and the bad things became inevitable. The stage is being set, pieces moved into place. Even me and my wife, with small roles to play, are being manipulated. The other day I learned a new phrase, “one drop theory” and I encountered it twice, once online vis Kamel, and then from my wife’s mouth on the same subject. Not a co-incidence. Programming. Battlespace prep. Memetic propagation . Very sophisticated forces are at work and their goals are not my goals.
Stack. It’s hard to influence the flow of history, but we can take steps to shape our own role, and our own experience.

Vanguard and Blackrock Media at work.
Beyond Kamala, the groundwork is being laid for reparations.
They won’t push it too far about Kamala being “black” since she’s also Asian Indian, and that demographic will turn out and vote for her just because Subcontinent sticks together.
I’ve seen it over and over again on the job over the years. As one co-worker put it, “Everybody lies”.
The “one drop” theory is OLD racism. I hadn’t heard that the Dems were trying to revive it, but I guess it makes sense if they’re trying to make Commie Harris look “authentically black” when she’s a quarter or less of African ancestry.
Yeah, if there was still legal discrimination against blacks, I wonder how eager they’d be to claim it…

Still raining. Cool-ish. Headed out to my meeting.

If I understand it correctly, she is 25% black. Her father, from Jamaica, had an Irish father.
Anyway, the euphoria over being rid of Biden will wear off soon enough. The press is in a frenzy, but next week something else will attract their collectively short attention span.
Anyway, mixed-race people are denigrated in the black community. This is really an appeal to the white women, singles and soccer-moms, who are continually desperate to prove that they aren’t racist.
And it was apparently very weird in places. I didn’t bother to watch, but four hours long? Jeezum. The drag queens re-enacting the Last Supper led to a few questions about how other religions respond to mocking. They should have had a Mohammed puppet – I’m sure that would have led to some excitement. Of course, progs know what they can get away with, and what not…
Robert Francis was the “Mexican Bobby Kennedy”, and he’s pure 4th generation Irish, mostly Texas with a detour of the family tree through Georgia.
Kamala’s is whatever the media decides it will be.
Which reminds me – I see a lot more of the “White Hispanic” label since Treyvon.
I had to look that term up online. Interesting. Now people are using that term to advance their cause if they can use racism to advance their cause. The Humper will claim she is black to court the black vote. Others will claim they are black to advance their cause, get something to which they would not be entitled, or rather not qualified to obtain. I don’t like people that do that, using their race to gain an advantage.
The federal government and other institutions have made it worse over the years. In their feeble minded attempts to eliminate racism, they have only made racism worse. People are put in categories for jobs, schooling, etc. based on the color of their skin. That is racist. Promoting a black man over a white man (or females) to fill a quota rather than qualifications is racist. People should obtain positions based on their qualifications, skills, etc. rather than the pigment in their hide.
In Oak Ridge many contracts are awarded to small disadvantaged companies. Which basically means black or women owned companies. The qualifications of the companies are moot. Some companies run by snarky white males will partner with a female or black owned company in which both bid on the contract. The black or female company being the lead. When the contract is awarded the black or female company fades into the background.
The last contract I worked on in Oak Ridge was done that way in order to bid on the renewal of our existing contract. Our group was absorbed by a black owned company to give us an advantage. It didn’t work because Jim Densberger awarded the contract to the company owned by a friend of his so Jim Densberger could be hired after six months when he retired from civil service. The owner of the new contract owner was also black. That company had never run a large IT contract for the Navy yet was given precedence over my company who had been running the contract for six years. Qualifications and experience did not count as my company was still too white with too many top-level white managers.
Everything should be color blind. A person is either qualified, or is not.
The Humper is not qualified. She has done nothing but manipulate herself into the current position. Her job as the border czar was a sham. She did nothing but make the situation worse.
The Humper is not qualified. Her acclaimed getting tough on crime in California was just the opposite as she made the crime situation in California worse. People in California are leaving because of the crime rate. Oakland might as well be turned over to the thugs and scum that crossed the border illegally.
The Humper is not qualified. Her publicized stand and efforts on abortion while VP consisted of a walk-thru of an abortion clinic. She did nothing else.
The Humper is not qualified. Her efforts on mental health consisted of nothing other than directing agencies to improve mental health. Well, duh, I could do that in less than 30 seconds with part of that time figuring out how to use a pen.
The Humper is not qualified. She co-sponsored a bill to make Juneteenth a federal holiday. Co-sponsored is the key word. She just signed her name and did absolutely no work on the bill.
The Humper is not qualified. The White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention was created to reduce gun violence was supposed to be overseen by the Humper. She did nothing.
The Humper’s only qualifications are that she is female and perhaps has some black blood “one drop” in her background. That does not even qualify her to clean toilets in the queer restrooms. She often cannot speak in coherent sentences, some of which are nothing but circular references. Yet she is now a candidate for president, the most powerful political office in the world. She got the position because of skin color and gender, two factors which should be invisible.
I may have to order another pallet of popcorn from Amazon. The sniping between tRump and The Kamel is really heating up. It is like they are trying to prove who is trashier. Both sides are backing up the garbage truck on each other’s VP picks.
I’m getting multiple texts/day from Redumbo’s begging for money. I thought tRump’s war chest was overflowing. I’m also getting multiple emails/week from Dumbo’s begging for money. I thought The Kamel was raking in record amounts of cash.
I don’t see much from the RNC. How can I give tRump more than a 50/50 chance without wide spread Redumbo help?
I hope Independents won’t vote for “more of the same.” The Kamel is double-downing on her dumbassery. I think that is going to backfire in the minority community.
BTW, did you see plugsy is giving Strzok/Page almost $2 million? The payoffs for agent provocateurs are happening. How long before the Hunter pardon is leaked to the press?

Yay.
Is that in lieu of their Federal pensions and retirement benefits?
That isn‘t a lot of money compared to what a career FBI agent could expect to collect after 30 years of service … assuming they made it that far.
The market right now is out of gas except for the AI monkey trick, and the big players are starting to doubt that one.
I had a friend, once, in Texas, who taught his kids about the white men who were complete failures in the United States, so they came to Texas and ruined it for the Indians and Mexicans.
Honest to God, that’s what he and his wife thought. They picked up and moved to Ireland. He does computer security for Google now. He’s pretty high level.
Based on what I’ve seen happening in Ireland lately, he’s welcome to it.
OBTW, they lived in Austin. So not really Texas. As another friend said, “You gotta love Austin. It’s only 15 minutes from Texas.”
Austin is the Berkeley of Texas.

About 20-25 years ago, out in California, I would see graffiti painted on sidewalks which translated to English read, “Pardon us, but the land is ours.”
More like the Portland of Texas.

“Kamala Harris wants to keep Hamas in power”
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/beltway-confidential/3100863/harris-wants-hamas-in-power/
“Vice President Kamala Harris has made it clear that she wants to protect Hamas in ways that essentially would keep the terrorist organization in power in Gaza and that she will continue President Joe Biden’s policies that embolden and empower terrorists.”
“Harris offered a condemnation of sorts of Hamas after her meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a bit of throat-clearing before she articulated her actual position that Hamas should be allowed to remain in power.”
““I just told Prime Minister Netanyahu, it is time to get this deal done,” Harris said of a ceasefire, which would allow Hamas to remain in power after the terrorist organization has promised to carry out more massacres like the Oct. 7, 2023, one that started this war.”
Kamala is despicable. We, the deplorables, do not support terrorists.
“Defending Democracy(tm)”
https://areaocho.com/defending-democracytm/
“President Biden is set to announce major Supreme Court reforms on Monday, likely including term limits and an enforceable ethics code. He’s also expected to advocate for a constitutional amendment to limit presidential immunity.”
“Let’s parse this. Term limits are unconstitutional. Read Art. III, Sec. 1:”
SCOTUS will not let themselves be regulated except via Constitutional Amendment. And that is not going to happen by 38 states even if Congress did pass it which will not happen either.

Did my get together. Well attended meeting. Then did my pickup, and hit a couple of thrifts and a pawn shop. Not much besides guns at this particular pawn, and they were priced high.
Rain mostly stopped, but there are still occasional spatters, and it’s still overcast. The temps are much lower that way.

“Experiences (Futanari Saga)” by Francis W. Porretto
https://www.amazon.com/Experiences-Francis-Porretto/dp/1731430280?tag=ttgnet-20/
Book number two of a four book science fiction series. I read the well printed and well bound POD (print on demand) trade paperback that the author self published on Amazon in 2018 that I bought new. I have purchased the third book in the series and will read it soon.
This may be the weirdest science fiction series that I have ever read. And I have read thousands of science fiction and fantasy books over my many years. The series is a very interesting take on what the future genetic engineers may bring us. This is fairly along the same lines as the avian children in “When the Wind Blows” by James Patterson, the protomolecule in “Leviathan Wakes” by James S. A. Corey, or the dinosaurs in “Jurassic Park” by Michael Crichton but uses a more shocking mutation to get the author’s point across.
This book is set in 2030. A neurophysiologist has developed a technique using nanobots to change a person’s desires. The person must be willing and wanting to have the change made in them. The homosexual community in the USA is very agitated and demonstrates in front of the clinic. There is no sex in the book but some implied sex. The sex slaver who was cloning Futanaris and raising them to be sex slaves wants to get vengeance and the return of his last futanari, Fountain.
In the Futanari Saga Universe, 100 to 200 Futanaris are born every year. The appear to be male at birth but become mostly female at puberty. Many are murdered or ostracized by their families. The author’s definition of a Futanari is female appearance, female size, and XX chromosomes with male genitals instead of female genitals. Yeah, you read that correctly as this does not match the Wikipedia definition of Futanari that I looked up. But, somebody is now cloning Futanaris and raising them as incredibly expensive sex slaves.

“We all know the answer to this question”
https://www.libertystorch.info/2024/07/27/we-all-know-the-answer-to-this-question/
““Would they’ve dared to mock Islam in a similar way?” No, Bishop, they would not. You know it, I know it, hell, everyone knows it.”
“Because Christian men are soft.”
“Christian men are afraid to give offence by speaking plainly, that Islam is a satanic religion founded by a pedophile who’s only contribution to the world is pain, suffering and death. Everywhere Islam takes hold, war and troubles follow. Every time Islam brushes up against any other religion, pain and suffering ensure.”
“Islam destroys culture, embraces murder and death as a matter of course. It’s their standard operating mode.”
Too many good people think that Islam is compatible with anything else.
BTW, I am passing on the Olympics. Again. Too much freakiness going on there for me.
“Electricity Rationing At Charging Stations Due To Limited Charging Infrastructure in Europe”
https://wattsupwiththat.com/2024/07/16/electricity-rationing-at-charging-stations-due-to-limited-charging-infrastructure-in-europe/
“Charging station operator now levying extra fee if you take too long to charge your electric car. The aim: “fairer distribution”.”
“Germany’s online BlackoutNews.de here reports how Dutch charging station operator Allego is imposing a “blocking fee” at all its European fast chargers.”
Wow, that did not take long for the electric car charging market to go unstable.
Didn’t watch the Opening Ceremony and I guess I missed some offensive weirdness. Seems like an odd venue to be mocking Christianity or to make any other controversial choices.

But they are saving so much money on gas.

But they are saving so much money on gas.
Europeans will be the first on the all bug protein diet.
Europe is in a world of hurt for energy. The three crude oil pipelines from Syria to Italy (built by the Nazis in the 1930s) got blown up in the Syrian civil war.
The US ships at minimum a million gallons of diesel and a million gallons of super unleaded to Europe each DAY. Sometimes three million gallons per DAY of each depending on how many tankers are available.
Norway is shipping several million gallons of LNG to Europe every day to replace the Russian natural gas.
The UK has HUGE quantities on natural gas in the North Sea and cannot decide if they want to go get it. It is probably five years to get the natural gas flowing. Maybe more as the water is less than 1,000 feet but the wells are deep.
The European refineries have not been upgraded or enlarged since the 1960s. They cannot use the heavy crudes coming out of the middle east or other places where the light crudes have run out.
And I’m supposed to care… Why?
I really wanted to visit Europe one more time before I die, but it had already gone to H*ll before my first visit in 2016.
My first evening in Munich, I left my girlfriend in the hotel room and walked out to get food and wine. I remember walking to the Aldi store, and feeling like I was in the middle East. Lots of men in man-dresses, idling on the curbs and streetcorners, speaking languages that weren’t English or German. What the Germans call “Turks”, which includes all the dregs from Islamic shirtholes.
I was in a foreign land, for sure, but it wasn’t the foreign land I expected to be in. More like Beirut than Munich.
Fortunately, old-town Munich and Salzburg and Amsterdam washed that out of my mind. But my illusions were shattered.

Think seriously about where you’re ‘thin’ and fill those gap(s) while you can. And depending on the polls, prices may increase accordingly.
