I'm done with --iggers of all descriptions.

No, the first letter is not singular; there are "niggers", "wiggers", "higgers", "aiggers", "jiggers" and more.  You can figure out what the first letters mean in each case but the issue is the same: A claim of special rights, not equal rights, and further, the capacity to violate other people's rights without consequence.

CNN — 
A Black-led running group is suing the organizers of the Boston Marathon as well as the city of Newton, Massachusetts, and the Newton police chief over alleged racial discrimination that took place in a cheer zone at last year’s race.

The lawsuit, filed Thursday by the all-women running group TrailblazHers, just days before the 2024 marathon, alleges the organizers, the city, and police violated the plaintiffs’ Fourteenth Amendment right to equal protection under the law.

Bullshit.

Read this:

TrailblazHers had organized a specific “cheer zone” in Newton at Mile 21 and had invited other running groups led by people of color to join, says the complaint. Over a hundred spectators, “mostly people of color,” were gathered there.

So you organized a racist and sexist group by its very name.  Fine -- you have the right to do that -- but don't be pissed off if someone else does it for some other group.  That's not the problem as that's called "free association" and you know it -- the problem is this:

Shortly after the incident last year, Newton police said in a statement: “After being notified by the B.A.A. (Boston Athletic Association) three times about spectators traversing the rope barrier and impeding runners, the Newton Police Department responded respectfully and repeatedly requesting that spectators stay behind the rope and not encroach onto the course,” according to CNN affiliate WFXT. “When spectators continued to cross the rope, NPD with additional officers calmly used bicycles for a short period to demarcate the course and keep both the runners and spectators safe.”

In other words these -iggers claim the right to interfere in the race by entering the course and they refused to remain behind the line demarcating the spectator areas and the course itself when cautioned and asked to do so like any civilized person would if they accidentally incurred into the course and didn't realize they had done so.

These people demanded the right to be uncivilized jackasses with more rights than the runners who paid an entry fee to race so fuck them sideways.

I'm a runner -- but not good enough to qualify for Boston.  Nonetheless I've participated in a number of very large races with corral starts and others where they're not but should be (here's looking at you, Turkey Trot in downtown Knoxville!)  Incursions into the course are serious; runners are often quite-focused on the task at hand and disrupting someone in a competitive event who has no desire to be a part of whatever you're doing is an assault that in fact can bring actual even if not-monetarily-significant harm and could reasonably cause a collision and physical injury.

That Boston Athletic Association has stomped on that intentional and knowing misbehavior is laudable.  It is my view that anyone suing over any such action should be personally destroyed -- outed, named, fired, ostracized and everyone associated with them treated to the same including being fired and blackballed and such should extend to their entire immediate family as well.

Everyone wants to claim to be some sort of special snowflake based on some sort of affiliation -- in this case, skin color.  Fuck you; you're not a special snowflake and organizing a bunch of people under such and then acting in concert makes you a fucking mob.  Cheering en-masse is welcome; hell, if even one person cheers me on (or even were they to jeer at me!) during a tough race its a part of the bargain that I have no quarrel with -- but entering the course is out-of-bounds, period and you're an uncouth bunch of apes if you think you have a right to do that and then, when rebuffed, think you have cause to sue over it.

Newton Police Chief John Carmichael addressed the lawsuit in a Friday Facebook post, saying, “I stand by my decisions that day, and more importantly, I stand by our officers who acted appropriately, respectfully and as expected.”

Yep.

Were I BAA I'd cancel the race, publish the names of the plaintiffs and their attorneys telling the public they have a problem with it take it up with those persons individually and make clear in a public statement that we're not folding to a bunch of extortionists and we never will, we're tired of this bullshit being paraded throughout society, we intend to and will make an example of these douchebags personally and that the race is herewith canceled in perpetuity until and unless the plaintiffs disgorge all of our fees and costs, including legal, refund the entry fees of every runner for the canceled race, publicly admit there was no racial bias and that their conduct merited the actions taken because they were assholes, they impeded the course and are apologizing, all in writing, and accept a criminal Trespass for each person there so if they enter the course again they can be thrown in jail for said trespass.  Oh, by the way, we're countersuing and those are our terms to settle it and what we will take all the way to trial if you refuse.

Those would be my terms.

No, not acceptable?

Tough shit and go fuck yourselves.

Screams the headlines in various media: "Oh nos, H5N1 is 50% fatal in humans, but there's nothing to fear as so far there are only two  human cases -- but we have detected it in cows and cats, so here it comes."

Ok folks, a few facts.

First, avian influenza is really nasty if you're a chicken.  It is especially nasty if you're a chicken confined into a small space for maximum egg-laying capacity and one of the other birds in there is sick.  The reason they kill all the birds in such a circumstance in a given facility when that happens is that a huge percentage of them will die anyway and waiting for it to burn out and leave however many survivors means you can't replace the dead ones with more live ones (they'll simply get it and many of them will die too) and your egg production goes to shit, obviously.  Thus the fastest way through the problem is to cull them all and replace and the modest lifetime of a laying hen (and even less by a lot for a meat chicken) means the conferred immunity in the survivors is almost-entirely worthless.

However, this is typically not really a threat to anything else because the immune system in a bird is very different than the immune system in a mammal such as a cow, dog, cat, pig -- or human.  Thus while you can detect virus in any of them in their nose as we saw with Covid using a PCR test does not tell you that the virus is live and reproducing at a level sufficient to cause disease; you would have to culture for that and that both takes time and is expensive, so "detection" via such a test is bullshit.  By definition for something to be diseased it must have some disorder or symptom of metabolic disruption; mere detection of viral fragments does not tell you anything at all.  Indeed even detecting virus in something like raw cow's milk tells you nothing about whether the cow is diseased or you would be if you drank it.  We have viruses (and  bacteria) all through and around us all the time without producing disease; a single gram of feces contains billions of bacteria and viruses in a healthy animal, including humans.  It is only when your body's immune system becomes overwhelmed to the point of physical impact on your bodily systems that you, or any other entity, are in fact diseased.

Second, if the virus is 50% fatal in humans then why is it that despite huge numbers of people working around birds and other animals allegedly "infected" the single documented human symptomatic case resulted in conjunctivitis -- that is, red around the eyes for a bit?  A virus that is 50% fatal and airborne in a chicken coop or dairy barn should have infected and killed half the people working there and obviously that has not and is not happening.  One dude got..... pink eye from being infected.  Whoopie-deal, he was uncomfortable for a bit, now has immunity, and is fine.

That is, given what we know about avian influenza it is in fact almost impossible for non-birds to actually get symptomatically ill from it, say much less be killed by it.  Further, getting it and having a few non-serious symptoms confers immunity at least in part so what's the problem?

You do remember all the PCR hysteria from the last four years, yes?  You also do remember that if you crank up the PCR cycle count high enough you will detect said fragments in huge numbers of things that are not in fact ill and never will get ill because what you're detecting is what they picked up in the environment and not something that is actively replicating in their nasal passages with any sort of efficiency.  Only the latter can produce disease or be transmitted to anyone else.

Further, the facts are that avian influenza is neither new or uncommon.  It happens all the time; its a respiratory virus and its natural reservoir is, as the name implies, birds.  There are a lot of birds and as a result there will always be avian influenza; like all viruses if an infection manages to get to another victim before the first one either shakes it or dies, it continues onward.  With somewhere between fifty and hundreds of billions of birds on the planet  (somewhere between a half-dozen and fifty per human; yeah, we're that uncertain how many there are) there is zero possibility of us ever getting rid of this sort of virus and as with all other respiratory viruses it reassorts itself among hosts all the time when it happens to get into a bird that has some other viral infection at the same time.  That's how viruses mutate, absent human tampering.

This is where the next important fact comes from: Zoonosis is statistically so far down the probability curve with avian influenza it has to be rated as roughly as likely as an asteroid killing us all next week because otherwise, with this wild imbalance in the population of the two types of animal we would have been, through the ages, relentlessly assaulted by these zoonotic viruses and, since modern medicine is quite new we'd all have been dead before we were born.

Now let's contrast with swine, which we know have a decent immune congruence with humans (thus experiments to use them for organ sources, insulin and similar) and a history of zoonosis.  H1N1 in particular, we are pretty sure, got to humans via that path -- that was the 1918 version of flu that whacked a huge number of people and it has come around several times since, including in late 2019 and early 2020, and I personally got it by the way -- it is damn nasty but I'm not dead, am I?  Why didn't it kill a huge number of people in late 2019?  Because influenza, in humans, usually doesn't directly kill -- it is the secondary bacterial infections that do, and we now have antibiotics we didn't have in 1918 -- thus those infections can be managed where before you either fought it off on your own or you died.  There are perhaps 800 million swine in the world or about ten humans per pig as compared with somewhere between five and fifty birds per human.

In other words if the zoonotic risk was even one hundredth that of swine we'd all have all been repeatedly screwed by this and we're not -- the reason is simply that the immune system of a bird and its biome environment are different enough that zoonosis is so far down the list of risks that its safely ignored.

But enter the people in our nation and elsewhere funded by our government who like to play with genetics -- particularly viral genetics.  You'd think they learned something from screwing around with coronaviruses, but you'd be wrong.

Nobody has been arrested for what happened with Covid despite the clear evidence that it was known what they were doing and the congruence between Wuhan's original strain in the "wild" and a technology transfer in the months prior back into the US, which is documented, is genetically an almost exact match.  We also know that multiple people, including many in government agencies, directly lied as to what happened surrounding and immediately preceding Covid showing up.  While we can't exactly arrest people in China we sure can do so here and we can destroy the institutions that were involved in this, which directly and indirectly led to more US deaths than every war we've been involved in since WWII along with promulgating a dangerous countermeasure that we now know had material evidence of its harm deliberately concealed during the original trials.

We've done none of that and that is all of our responsibility because if the government won't arrest people when their actions lead to a biological agent's release into the environment, whether directly or otherwise, then who's responsibility is it to do so?  The fucking tooth fairy?

Worse, every single one of our Congresspeople and the entire Executive currently in power never mind Trump's administration which was in power when that started and was in power when the proposal was submitted to DARPA and turned down, thus it WAS KNOWN when he was in office, have done nothing to stomp on this crap even on a forward basis, say much less appropriately prosecuting those involved in what happened the last time.

Again, I will note that there is no evidence that avian influenza has or can naturally cross into humans and you had better drill that into your damned head because it is fact and that fact is why you are here and alive right here, right now.  Anyone who claims otherwise is a lying sack of crap and is likely trying to cover up their own criminal acts or complicity and even conspiracy with someone else's actions.

Therefore if it happens and there is such an epidemic human intervention is, well beyond reasonable doubt responsible and the United States Congress, each and every member, along with every member of federal and state Executive departments including but not limited to so-called "law enforcement" that have refused to arrest anyone for any of the bullshit over the last four years and in fact both funded and directly enabled it will have been directly responsible and must be held PERSONALLY responsible and liable for said outbreak and all harm that comes.

These people know damned well what they're playing with because it went wrong the last time and there is a statistically ZERO probability, much less than with a coronavirus, that such an event if it does happen this time, was of natural origin.

Those in positions of authority have the power to put a final and absolute stop to this crap right here, right now and forevermore and if they don't and the statistically impossible "natural thing" occurs this time there is ZERO question that it was man-engineered and released through either negligence or intent.

NO MORE GODDAMNED EXCUSES.

You can take all your "grieving" and shove it straight up your own ass.

Why?

Because the people bleating and "grieving" as government officials are all responsible, personally responsible, for felons like this being on the street after being caught committing crimes involving violence and other serious violations of the law and they are then released without bond and without any sort of monitoring.

Further, we keep seeing their "mothers" and others show up whining about "he diddunuttin" when the facts are that in ChiCONGO said person fired 11 rounds at someone without provocation and in MemCONGO the shooter opened fire without provocation as well.  Yes, said targeted person in both cases happened to be a cop but that's irrelevant; if you fire a weapon unprovoked at someone you deserve it if you get turned into a decent rendition of hamburger.  I have zero empathy if that is the result because it should be the result each and every time.

If it was perhaps you'd think about it before you drew that gun, eh?  I mean let's be real -- even an ape can figure that one out and if he can't, well, then his being dead is better than being alive for everyone else.

In the case in Memphis the shooter was recently arrested in a stolen vehicle with a fully-automatic weapon and was charged with possession of said stolen vehicle and said automatic weapon.  So why the hell was he, having been caught red-handed, on the streets?

I remind you that automatic weapons, otherwise known as machine guns, are illegal to possess unless you have a BATFE Form for each of them and in addition using an unregistered device to make a firearm a machine gun can't be registered anyway.  That crime carries a penalty of ten years in the slammer at the federal level all by itself, never mind being a state firearm offense along with the grand theft auto charge -- both STATE felonies.

So this clown was out on the streets (guess his race -- oh you don't have to, just have a look) as he was released without bond and apparently without any actual monitoring either despite being caught in a stolen car and having an extremely-illegal machinegun.  Oh, and it gets better -- the case is reported to have been accepted for federal prosecution (on the machine gun I presume) yet a County Judicial Commissioner (who they conveniently don't name -- gee, I wonder why) let him out on his own recognizance and without any proactive and effective monitoring.

How do we know this?

The vehicle the suspect was in when the shooting took place was also stolen and he also obviously (and very illegally, as he was now charged with a felony) obtained another gun so that Shelby County jackass who issued the ROR release didn't deter anything at all.

In ChiCONGO the person who opened fire was just released on another felony charge as well and thus was a prohibited person as he was under indictment for a felony and therefore could not legally possess a gun.  Once again he was wandering the streets which means he was let out without any enforced conditions on where he went or what he did -- if said "conditions" were allegedly imposed nobody gave a shit when he wasn't adhering to said constraints and they did not immediately throw him in jail for driving around in his vehicle.

We are well beyond the point where either (1) we have to start cheering when public officials (including but not limited to cops) get capped by these thugs who they all let out after being caught violating the law, with no consequence being paid by said thugs for their actions or (2) we have to start taking out the trash ourselves and impose what amounts to a hard separation between the peaceable citizens and the assholes, including in the second group all of the so-called government officials who think that skin color is a reason for you to be able to steal cars, convert firearms to machine guns and not immediately wind up either in jail or with sufficient bond and monitoring pending trial so you can't steal any more cars or shoot at people.

If the Executive branch of the State will not do its job when their inaction is the direct reason a government employee gets shot I am not sorry, I am not mourning, I am not anything of the sort.  I am instead offering a toast of some FINE single-malt Scotch and a loud "hizzah!" because that VERY SAME GOVERNMENT sat on its ass, let a violent asshole out on the streets when they had every ability to keep him in jail or under effective supervision pending trial AND THUS THE DEAD PERSON, WHO IS PART OF THE VERY SAME GOVERNMENT THAT PUT THE PUBLIC AT DEMONSTRATED EXTREME AND REALIZED RISK DESERVED WHAT THEY GOT.

BETTER THAT SAID PERSON BE THE ONE DEAD THAN AN INNOCENT CIVILIAN WHO HAD NO ABILITY TO DO ANYTHING TO PREVENT THIS SINCE CIVILIANS CANNOT CHARGE AND PROSECUTE, AND IN FACT THE PEACEFUL CIVILIANS IN THE AREA RELIED ON ALL THOSE OTHER ASSHOLES IN THE GOVERNMENT TO DO THEIR JOBS WHICH THEY WILLINGLY AND INTENTIONALY REFUSED BECAUSE SAID ACCUSED WAS A "DINDUNUTTIN BOOOOOY."

Don't give me any bullshit, Governor Lee, about how this was a "local" or "isolated" failure.  You're lying, that is a SIN so your professed faith is ALSO false and here's proof from the Tennessee STATE Statute books:

A person commits an offense who intentionally or knowingly possesses, manufactures, transports, repairs or sells:

• An explosive or an explosive weapon;

• A device principally designed, made or adapted for delivering or shooting an explosive weapon;

• A machine gun;

• A short-barrel rifle or shotgun;

• Hoax device;
  
  
• Knuckles; or
  
  
• Any other implement for infliction of serious bodily injury or death that has no common lawful purpose.

Nevermind that the stolen vehicle is a state felony as well.  Assuming the vehicle was worth at least $10,000 (but less than $60,000) it was a Class C felony which carries a sentence of not less than three nor more than fifteen years in the state slammer.

So spare me any whining about Memphis.  The State had every right and in fact duty to bring State felony charges and take said person into custody on same if the City of Memphis refused to do so and if the STATE had done so he would have been in jail and unable to commit this crime.  Memphis has become a shithole as a direct result of this crap and I want to know how many cops will remain on the force and be target practice for assholes if the county and State will not put a stop to this shit right here, right now, period.

I'm done with all the whining, crying and praying by cops and other so-called "do-gooders", especially the black poverty pimps and their enablers, when this sort of crap happens.

I no longer care when cops get whacked by these thugs nor will I care if any member of the State or Local Government, or any of their family members, get whacked in each and every instance where the offender was previously caught doing something carrying felony penalties and was released pending trial with no monitoring or enforcement of same or, even worse, if they were released with no charges and trial at all!

In both these cases -- and many more -- that is exactly what happened and these same thugs attack, steal from, maim and murder innocent citizens who have no actual power to indict, prosecute or imprison.  That is a power our society has delegated to the Executive and if they refuse to perform their duties under said laws then it is time for all citizens to cheer when they are the ones who pay for that refusal personally, up to and including paying with their lives.

In fact I propose that Friday night become toast a dead government official night until and unless all this bullshit DEI/Racebaiting bullshit STOPS with 100% finality, every time, and anyone who gets caught stealing cars or with an illegal machine gun gets to sit in jail or under effective 24x7 electronic supervision with a nice, high bail to be forfeited if they try to cheat until their trial occurs and if found guilty they do hard time in prison every single time as well.

I know that some counties in this state actually force accountability and monitoring with ankle monitors, cash bonds and similar for far lesser offenses than stealing cars and possessing illegal machine guns.  Shelby County has no excuse for their outrageous refusal to either lock this jackass up or maintain effective knowledge and control of what he was doing post his original arrest and neither does TBI, the State Executive generally and the State Attorney General.

Felony laws related to violent criminal acts just like anti-trust laws are not suggestions but it appears that in basically every jurisdiction, including "Red, Conservative" states such as mine, the violent felony criminal code is in fact a set of suggestions if and only if the offender is black, brown, or some form of illegal immigrant.  IF you are in one of those "protected classes" you can, by this example, literally steal cars and convert weapons to machine guns and nobody will lock you up pending trial nor require any cash bond for either even when you are caught red-handed in the act.

It is for that reason and that reason ONLY that these cops got shot.

FUCK YOU Governor Lee, and all of those in the State and Memphis city prosecutorial and judicial apparatus. YOU DID THIS.

And DOUBLE FUCK YOU to our Legislature, including specifically Speaker Sexton who of course was bleating all over Twitter on this event, a legislature that continues to fund and rubber stamp Executive agencies, including the State Police, State AG and the entire State prosecutorial apparatus who refuse to do their goddamn jobs when city and other local officials will not.  The power of the purse rests exclusively in the Legislature and thus continued funding of demonstrably corrupt entities who refuse to discharge their duties makes our Legislators all direct enablers of these felons.

I reminder Speaker Sexton that Tennessee has an "ouster" law that bears on this situation as well -- it permits an action to remove an official who has violated or corrupted their oath of office, including by willingly neglecting to perform the duties of said office.  When are we going to see that be filed and executed demanding the AG act against the STATE officers, Prosecutors and other officials who refused to step in and arrest this asshole when Memphis did not, along with the Memphis officials as well Mr. Speaker?

Those of us who care about the law and a peaceable society are tired of the excuses made for letting violent, known felons walk away from offenses without detention, monitoring or any other sort of enforced bail condition who then go on to commit further offenses of the same seriousness or worse than what prompted the original arrest.  This deliberate malfeasance is directly responsible for serious property and personal crime across this and every other state where it occurs and now it has directly resulted in both maiming and death.

Fix it right now or may you all be damned.

... dawns bright with blue skies.

Who knows what we'll have in a few hours, but right now, well.... it would be utterly ideal.

Bring on the doom porn; it'll be good for all of us if New Madrid, San Andreas and all the others rupture.  Oh, and rumor has it that the Yellowstone Caldera is bulging too, which could join in and seriously upgrade the party.

It is also rumored that throwing a virgin into a volcano will make sure the sun does not disappear forever.  During the time that was common we didn't have many politicians -- now we have a surplus and darn few virgins, so we should definitely try a few hundred of the politicians first, just to see if they work.

USA Today has claimed Biden has "clamped down" on illegal immigration.

Various others, including Biden himself, have claimed that there are "new laws and authority" needed.

Both are false

8 USC 1324 makes clear that any assistance, harboring, transporting or similar acts by someone in America or under American jurisdiction is a federal felony and carries 10 years in prison for each person and each offense.  This law has been on the books since the 1950s and if an illegal alien harms someone in the US (e.g. commits a crime such as driving without a license or insurance and hits someone, commits a rape, robbery, etc.) the penalty is doubled and if they kill someone the penalty is a potential life sentence.

Our government -- both parties, the Democrats and Republicans -- have refused to arrest anyone under this law and enforce it no matter who has been in office.  Donald Trump didn't, Biden hasn't, Obama didn't, Bush didn't, Clinton didn't and so on.

Nobody would provide assistance, such as housing, medical care, money, jobs or anything else to an illegal immigrant if this law was enforced and people started going to prison for their handouts.  Nobody would be providing transportation inside the United States to an illegal immigrant either -- doing so knowingly or with reckless disregard for their status would get you 10 years in the slammer.

Illegal immigration would stop immediately if this law was enforced; if a legal immigrant or green card holder assisted an illegal they would go to prison and, now being a felon, there would go their green card status and they'd be deported also.

We have a problem with immigration in America for one reason and one reason only: Nobody will enforce long-standing law.

The same is true for many other areas of American society, including the cost of both education and medical care, both of which are driven up by illegal collusive practices made felonious more than 100 years ago in 15 USC Chapter 1.  I've written on this at great length -- and nobody cares.

We can either put a stop to this, with finality and by whatever means we must, or our nation and every person in it will continue to be harmed and ultimately will be destroyed by both the financial drain and direct criminal acts of these persons -- which includes every single member of Congress and law enforcement who refuse to do their legally-mandated jobs.

Don't kid yourself about what it will take either; only a return of fear to those who are supposed to do their jobs and are deliberately refusing will cause them to change their minds.  It has never been otherwise during human existence and never will be otherwise.  Either the criminal has to fear the consequence of their act or the law enforcement agent and politicians who refuse to enforce the law have to fear not performing their jobs and enforcing said laws.
