Our Man In Beijing

It’s simply uncanny how ahead of its time Twilight Zone was.

No need to imagine anymore.

That’s ‘President’ YouTwitFace to you

The man who can’t find his way out of a brown paper bag,

and still has trouble finding his way into his federally mandated cloth facemask.

And now we’re about to find out what China wants with that old YouTwitFace they just took delivery of:

Is Joe About To Surrender Taiwan To Beijing?

The answer is yes. And now you see why it was necessary for Trump to go. All you people who voted for old TwitFace because you didn’t like Trump’s mean tweets are in for a very rude awakening. If you think Russia Russia Russia is our enemy just wait till you see how China China China behaves as our friend.

Our Man in Beijing

Now repeat after me in your best YouTweetFace voice: ‘China is our friend, China is our friend, China…’

Learn The Code, Man

Don’t worry, this lonely stretch of track will soon see thousands of tanker cars traveling its rails. They’ll be hauling Canadian oil down to the Gulf and empty cars back up to Alberta, burning up a lot of hateful fossil fuel in the process. 

Jason Kenney, the leader of the Canadian province of Alberta “noted that without the pipeline, oil must be transported to Gulf Coast refineries by truck or train, both of which are sources of much higher emissions.”

Funny isn’t it, the President of the party that claims to champion “the working man” and the environment cancelled the Keystone XL Pipeline on day one thereby screwing both, along with our ally to the North, with one stroke of his mighty pen.

“He added that Biden’s move kills thousands of union labor jobs on both sides of the U.S.-Canada border and counterintuitively makes the United States more dependent on ‘dictatorships’ for its energy needs.”

Kenney noted how Biden’s move to cancel the pipeline could force refineries in Southern U.S. states to rely on oil from the Maduro regime in Venezuela. “I don’t see how that’s in the interests of the United States,” Kenney said.

C’mon man! Learn to code

Might I suggest they first learn to read and use those skills to carefully go through the platform of the guy they send money to. Specifically look for sections titled “Green New Deal.”

They don’t call it  “Liberal Logic” for naught

Unless, that is, you want to learn to code.

File the above story under “when they tell you who they are, believe them,” cross referenced with “don’t be fooled again” and “too late now buddy.”

We Are On Correct Path Comrades, Edition 153

Thank goodness our Figurehead New World Order el Presidente (FINWOP) has rejoined the Paris Climate Accord and the World Health Organization. That means we can have nice things again.

Such as indoor dining** which in Democrat states has become as rare as free speech and other First Amendment rights. Now that Trump is gone – quelle surprise! – Covid is not so scary. We’ve got the new vaccines, the number of Covid positives and deaths appear to have been overstated and now we can get about reopening the economy. 

Transparency, – it’s back baby!

And every bit as transparent as ever. So get out there and Caturday. The world hangs in balance once again.

 

**Here in Michigan Wretched Gretchen announced yesterday that she has issued another pandemic order to reopen the restaurants that she closed (for the second time in a year) 2 months back to indoor dining. Of course that is limited to 25% capacity with social distancing, a limit of 100 patrons max 6 per table and closure by 10 PM - because we all know that the coronavirus becomes hyper-active at night. Oh, and you must of course provide contact information upon arrival.

So please say hello to Dr. Weao Copac, my new alter-ego.

 h/t, as always, to Vereteno, MOTI and former citizen of the former USSR

 

"If the governor thinks 25% is adequate, perhaps Gov. Whitmer should only receive 25% of her salary.”

Strictly No Elephants

The wicked flee when no man pursueth; but the righteous are bold as a lion. – Proverbs 28:1

Yes Virginia, there is an anti-Trumpest movement. It exists as certainly as hate and fear and malevolence exist and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest sense and purpose. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no anti-Trumpests! It would be as dreary as if there were no godless liberals. There would be no childlike faith in the State, no social justice, no delusional thinking to make tolerable this existence.

So as you see, we need the anti-Trumpests. We need them to designate Trumpests as domestic terrorists and unleash the liberal “army of citizen detectives” to root you out and turn the dangerous Trumpests in. They must be sent to reeducation boot camp where they will be deprogrammed and chipped before being allowed to return to the wild. From that point on they will be continuously monitored.

You doubt me? See here for yourself: “Elephants counted from space.”

And all the laborious elephant counting is done via machine learning - a computer algorithm trained to identify elephants in a variety of backdrops. [ed. Thank you Google!]

"We just present examples to the algorithm and tell it, 'This is an elephant, this is not an elephant,'"Dr Olga Isupova, from the University of Bath, said.

"By doing this, we can train the machine to recognise small details that we wouldn't be able to pick up with the naked eye."

Such as, they are not all white supremacists

Silly anti-Trumpests: you’re tracking elephants when in fact we are lions.

VIRGINIA, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men’s or children’s, are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.

No Trumpests! Thank God! they live, and they live forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, they will continue to make glad the heart of mankind.

(With apologies to Francis Pharcellus Church and the New York Sun)

It’s Fine. We’re All Fine.

And so it came to pass: the November 4th Immaculate Deception was followed by the country’s first virtual inauguration attended by approximately 2000 hand selected guests and 25,000 military to protect him from the dangerous right wing supremacists (who failed to show up).

Let’s hear it for our National Guard, who care enough to turn their back

And so the Dim Sum President-Select was installed as President of our fine country, leaving us with 2 figurehead scoundrels: the Scoundrel-in-Chief and the Scoundrel-in-Waiting, both beholden to the last Lightbringer who has been running the shadow government for his overlords out of the $10 million Kalorama home they bought him.

The media has already deemed the “Biden” Administration the most  scandal free and transparent on record. Likewise it’s been praised for hitting the ground running, or hobbling as it were, in the case of Old Joe.

I can do this, Dr. Jilly told me I could do this! Just a little further.

And so it came to pass, in his first 100 minutes President Joey was busy signing Executive Orders. The first, Mandating Masks And Social Distancing On Federal Property has already flattened the curve! Miraculeux!

Literally one hour after Biden takes the oath, the WHO admits that PCR testing at high amplification rates alters the predictive value of the tests and results in a huge number of false positives

So maybe after the first 100 days we’ll be free to move about the cabin again, mask free. Or at least go out to dinner again, if you live in a Blue state.

Joey also put his mark on an Executive Action To Rejoin the Paris Climate Accord. So expect those oceans to start to recede at any moment, while China gloats, builds another 200 coal plants and sends tons more of their crap – across the receding oceans - to be sold in America.

Today Joey’s expected to Issue An Executive Order Ending Border Wall Construction. Incoming White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan explained that the Biden administration is going to have a very different approach to regional migration (it’s called “open borders,” go ahead, just say it). He said there will be a “special emphasis” to address the “root causes of migration in the region.” I can explain the “root causes of immigration” - like the caravan currently swarming just south of our border - quite simply: 1. the U.S’s refusal to enforce it’s immigration laws, 2. lack of a physical barrier (i.e. a Wall) and 3. Free Stuff!

So you just keep on talking about unity Joey, while demonizing those of us who disagree with your imbecilic anti-American policies as “political extremists, white supremacists and domestic terrorists” and things should be just fine.

“So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish.”

Well, today’s the day it becomes official: President-Select Jao Biden will be sworn in as Chairman and President of these formerly United States.

Sabo UnsavoryAgents

But in the early hours this morning, even ahead of the official swearing in ceremony, the Nobel Committee announced that it has awarded President-Select Jao Biden, the most dubiously elected man in all of U.S. history, the first ever Nobel Prize for World Unificating. I’m not entirely sure what that means but it sounds kind of dirty.

According to the press release the unusual timing of this unusual award was based solely on Mr. Biden’s pledge to reverse all of his predecessor's policies.  Of specific interest to the Committee is the reversal of President Trump’s “America First” policy which was deemed to have “shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive at times” of America’s sworn enemies, both foreign and domestic. Among the current President’s offensive policies this one alone has been most clearly upsetting and unbalancing to the New World Order agenda.

Since President-Select Jao has pledged to ‘unificate America and the World’ by rejecting his immediate predecessor’s policies and return to those of his predecessor's predecessor, he was a shoe-in for the unificating award. Biden released a statement saying he was humbled to be so honored, but according to close associates he secretly gloated about having won his Noble prize even quicker than Obama.

C’mon man, who’s the clean and articulate guy now?

China Premier Xi also praised the Nobel Committee’s decision to grant the award to Biden saying ‘I am certain nobody can unificate the world better or faster than our man in Washington, Chairman Jao.’

So look for China’s Guy in Washington to immediately move America from the #1 spot on the list to a slot so far down that nobody other than Israel will need look up to see us. Official sources report that one of Biden’s first actions as Chairman and President will to issue an  Executive Order changing the MAGA designation from “Make America Great Again” to “Make America Grovel Again.”

All I can say is “So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish.”

Keeping Hope ‘n Change alive since 2008

What If You Held A Riot And Nobody Came?

It appears that is exactly what happened to the leftists attempting to burn the country down and blame the right for the fires. The State Capital Rallies – well attended by military, police (yes, the same police that the left wanted to defund last summer) and BLM/Antifa wasn’t able to lure many of their arch-enemies (us) into their trap this time. Let’s check our a random sample from fly-over country.

Michigan: Michigan State Police, FBI, National Guard prepare for armed protests, potential violence in Lansing (small crowd as Gretchen has forbidden large ones)

Michigan State Police patrol the perimeter of the State Capitol in Lansing

Colorado: Hundreds gather for pro-Trump rally outside state Capitol (hundreds!)

Denver, Colorado state capital – kids playing on the lawn

Minnesota: Amid huge police presence, weekend rallies at state Capitol were tiny and peaceful (darn!)

A lot of police presence though.

And so it went, all around the country, much to the chagrin of MSM.

Gee, you don’t imagine that this was all a ginned up threat do you? You don’t think the FBI would be involved in leaks to the media that hint at an insurrection or something…do you? Manufacturing political narratives for their own political reasons – that’s not what the FBI does…or is it?

I mean, come on man, that’s not the way it works…is it? I mean, Deep State isn’t a real thing…is it?

And no matter what you read Deep State was not involved in my fatal mugging

In Memoriam: Mars Sullivan

Unfortunately, I have some sad news to report. One of our long time MOTI, a daily reader and regular commenter, Mars Sullivan, passed away last month. Her husband, Kevin, was kind enough to let me know why we’ve missed her comments.

Mars, real name Myra but nicknamed “Mars” by her dad as a young girl, was only 67 and according to Kevin she had known something was wrong for the past year but had said nothing to anyone. She became quite ill at the end of November, was admitted to the hospital and passed away a week later of advanced liver cancer. Her husband was at her side.

Mars was a retired landscaper and for the last 3 years she and Kevin had split their time between Fort Wayne and their home in Florida. She will be greatly missed by the MOTI.

While not a commenter himself, Kevin is a regular reader as well. Please join me in offering him our sincere sympathy for the loss of his dear wife of 45 years.

"We may write our names in Albums,
We may trace them in the sand,
We may chisel them in marble,
With a firm and skillful hand.
But the pages are soon sullied,
Soon each name will fade away,
Every monument will crumble,
Like all earthly hopes decay.
But dear friend there is an album,
Full of leaves of snowy white,
Where no name is ever tarnished,
But forever, pure and bright.
It's in The Book of Life, God's album,
May your name be penned with care,
And may all who here have written,
Write their names forever there."

Watering The Tree By Which You’ll Hang: The Liberal Path to Utopia

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say

J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

Along that road you will come upon many trees.

The Tree of Life and Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil among them

Some you will climb, some will provide you with fruit in season, some you will cut down for firewood or to build your house. And some will die due to lack of nutrients or water, or simply old age. But some you will return to time and time again: to seek it’s shade or simply to admire its form and stance upon the landscape.

Some people don’t grasp the value of a tree – oh they may see it and say ‘what a great tree’ – but they miss it’s point, its true merit. They think it’s deep roots a nuisance that get in the way when they wish to excavate, forgetting that they keep it strong and allow it to stand upright and steady in a storm. They either ignore or minimize the fact that it’s those very roots that allow the tree’s outstretched branches to offer shade from the scorching sun of summer and shelter in the dead of winter.

Look at all those little red hats perched in those snowy branches!

Yes, some people miss the point of trees altogether and choose simply to remove them as inconvenient obstacles standing in the way of building their progressive utopia; like their new suburb called “Maple Lawn” in memory of the maple trees that once grew there.

That’s essentially the difference between how conservatives see trees –

The Trump Tree – strong, proud leaning into the storm

And how liberals view trees.
