Guest Post by Jim Kunstler
America’s first animatronic president outside of Disney World routinely does a disappearing act every weekend. Where does he go? Does his management team plug him into a recharging station? Does he rest on a catafalque in some sub-basement of the 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue like one of the fabled undead from the Hollywood crypt classics? Or do they just stuff him into some closet where the rolling podiums and teleprompters are stored?
It’s unclear exactly what his duties were in eight years as vice-president, besides running interference for his busy son, Hunter, who followed the Veep around the world like a Roomba vacuum cleaner picking up nickels and dimes, but Joe did have to answer to the then-Bigger Guy, Barack Obama, and one wonders if that is not still the case. Does he actually meet regularly with go-between Susan Rice, or just wait for instructions, go where he is told to go, and read what has been prepared for him to read?
The executive regime, whatever it actually consists of, has rolled out an impressive first hundred days agenda of orders and acts designed to obliterate whatever remains of an American common culture and a US economy based on the transactions of free individuals. The easiest, and most readily damaging, was to simply reverse the previous administration’s policy of controlling our border with Mexico. All you had to do was order the border agents to do nothing — and let the restless folk to the south hear that the welcome mat was laid out. Voila! An out-of-control border! Just what you want!
It worked so well, it almost became an embarrassment, except that news media which used to function as the nation’s conscience, has turned sociopathic and is incapable of embarrassment or shame as it bombards the confounded public with narratives that, in any other era, would be easily recognized as rank propaganda. For instance, the apparent fib that Veep Kamala Harris has been placed in charge of managing the situation on the border. In the month since her assignment, she has been seen nowhere near the US-Mexican border, and somehow not a single reporter has asked her to account for that.
The other part of that deal, of course, is to make sure that the newcomers here illegally become Democratic Party voters by demolishing any process that would require proof of citizenship for filing a ballot. That is HR 1, the deviously styled “For the People Act,” wending its wicked way through Congress. The proposed law would attempt to abrogate the constitutional prerogative of the fifty states to craft their own election rules. It couldn’t possibly stand up to a Supreme Court review, and may not even survive its journey through the federal legislature. 75 percent of actual Americans polled favor voter ID, probably for the excellent reason that not requiring ID would be insane.
Is the Democratic Party determined to drive the nation insane? Kind of looks like that. They certainly seem bent on fomenting a race war. That would be insane, but the Democratic Party’s will to punish the nation eclipses all its other hopes, dreams, and aims — and that degree of sadism tends to indicate a mental health problem. Prior to 2020, they had already destroyed at least a dozen US cities via sheer mal-administration, and the George Floyd riots across the country successfully wrecked much of what bad governance plus the Coronavirus lockdowns had left behind.
Wouldn’t you think that things are already bad enough, for instance, in Minneapolis, what with the Derek Chauvin trial about to entertain the defense’s case, and the courthouse secured like Fort Apache? And so, a fresh incident occurred on Sunday involving one Duante Wright, 20, shot during a traffic stop. Apparently, there was a warrant out for Mr. Wright, meaning he was a suspect in a crime. When the police tried to detain him, he got back into his car against their clear instructions, raising the possible inference that he might be going for a gun. The officer shot him. A riot ensued, of course. In the chaos, some looting occurred. Black Lives Matter turned out in a matter of minutes, along with members of Duante Wright’s family. Is another martyr being manufactured?
What message do you suppose the Minneapolis city council sent last month when it settled $27-million on the family of George Floyd — before the trial in the matter even began? It looks more and more like a high stakes hustle: Whatever the truth is about an incident that involves the police, the city will burn and large cash settlements await. Calling personal injury attorney Ben Crump….
And so, the riot season has arrived, as if right on schedule. If Minneapolis and other cities start burning again, will Mr. Biden be positioned to ignore it as he’s ignored the now-lawless situation at the border? Will his managers wind him up to inveigh against “white supremacy?” Or have they set a dynamic feedback loop in motion that is fast running beyond their control — making it clear that perhaps nobody is in charge?

Greetings,
A lot of people I know accepted the stolen election believing that once Xiden was in office that the riots, lockdowns and looting would finally stop. It hasn’t. Worse still, all of the things Trump warned us about – open borders, election fraud, gun confiscation, etc, are all coming to pass.
We all now finally know that appeasement doesn’t work and that these lunatics will not stop until they burn it all to the ground. Act accordingly.
Why would they stop? If you can riot, burn, and loot without consequences, that means you’re winning.
No, if you can burn, loot, and riot without consequences then you are a useful idiot. I know enough history to know that useful idiots are not long for this world once no longer “useful”. I also know that the useful idiots will be removed before Leviathan steers a course towards me.
Maniacal leadership always cleans house internally before going after their real enemy.
I would expect them to be used like Soviet penal battalions as the method of eliminating them.
“…news media which used to function as the nation’s conscience…” Get real! That hasn’t been true for decades, if it ever was!
Exactly right. Reagan’s director of the CIA, William Casey, is quoted as saying: “We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false”. Casey was in the 80s, they were lying many many decades prior to that.
I was stationed at Grand Forks AFB ND for 5.5 years (1976-1981) and Minnesota was a beautiful modern state (compared to my beloved Reconstruction Ravaged Southland), all be Minnesota was chock-a-block with liberals who were ignorant of Blacks manners (or lack thereof). Minnesota invited Blacks in like Democrats are doing to whoever on our southern border. Yankee ignorance made Minnesota akin to a very dry untended National Forest, and the new comer Blacks were like eager campers who couldn’t care less about fire safety. Some Black crime here and some more there combined with liberal insanity will result in burning the whole Blue Useful Idiot state down. Southerners warned ya’ll.
Minneapolis is filled with niggers from Gary Indiana, Chicago, and Somalia. All come for the generous benefits.
So Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, 2000 71% white, 14.09 African-American and 2.82 Hispanic 2010 59% white,25% African-American and 9.6 , I’m sure that the 2020 census will show even more ethnic enhancement, after all diversity is strength, stronger together, build back better
It kills me when people think that any other White country has a worse demographic problem than America. But then, many people still believe in myths like melting-pot theory and America being a nation of immigrants. Like there weren’t 300 years of American history before the civil war.
First city on North America from Columbus’ discovery was Saint Augustine Florida in the 1490’s, so closer to 360 years. You can’t have a melting pot if you never stop loading in more “material.” We desperately need a ten or twenty year moratorium as has been done previously.
Yes, the country is failing but no more mean tweets, so it’s worth it, at least to my sisters,
IF they burn? On schedule? Bdone’s managers aint runnin’ a train through a flamin’ hula hoop, and they can’t park him in the siding hole as cities burn. DC’ll burn too.
Chauvin is a choked chicken, and to BLM/Antifa, finger-lickin’. Guilty or Innocent, grab some wieners and marshmallows. Chauvin will be forgotten in the inferno by everyone except police everywhere. They’ll stand down and let it burn. BLM can’t hide out in Topanga Canyon when the popo have all decided to let the fucking fuckers fuck themselves.
Biden will have much better reasons to inveigh against “Yellow Supremacy”, as the recently escalating racist attacks on Asians by blacks weaned on nightmares of Roof Koreans show who they really hate. “White Supremacy?” Sheeeeeeit. The black story of victimhood is writ large by white cucks in every major city. Portland’s MLK/BLM march this year down MLK Blvd had ZERO blacks in it. They’ll beg to be corralled for a Rwandan genocide.
White country folk aren’t going to fight the big city ‘civil war’ any more than the inner city police will. So far so good.
It’s a win-win if the blacks kill all the inner city whites (look out, Baltimore!) After that, the Asians and Mexicans are a whole lot less squeamish about killing those who threaten them. Happy, actually, to snuff GrandMaster Jay wannabes.
“Somebody’s In Charge”? Right. Podiums everywhere are paging General Alexander Haig.
Many have failed to note that when Blacks and Hispanics get into it en masse, the Hispanics clean their clocks. Anybody who knows former ROK soldier immigrants know those little suckers are badass.
The dems want power, absolute power, and they don’t care what they destroy in order to get it. They would happily be kings of the smouldering ruins so long as they were in charge. They envision power and all the trappings of being the elite, but they aren’t intelligent enough to realize that once they are through destroying the country they won’t have anything to support their power grab. The looters require the producers to continue to produce, once those producers are destroyed the looters have nothing. They are like parasites that kill the host.
True about ROK Marines, as anyone who knew them in ‘Nam can attest.
Attention to JHK: The United States, as a constitutionally regulated representative republic interested in maintaining sovereign borders ended some time ago. Hell 40 years ago in South Texas I distinctly remember seeing the border disappearing right in front of me.
Second thing is that voting simply does not matter, and it hasn’t mattered in a long time. The only difference today is that there is no longer any pretense evinced by the establishment that voting matters. They can degrade voting while openly lying about the projected impact of their orders and regulations without worrying one bit about having to answer to anyone about their lies. Not to the media, not to the public, and certainly not to any opposition party.
Last is that Derek Chauvin is doomed. No hope for any result except conviction and imprisonment, none at all. The last vestiges of the aroma of a desire for justice in the US criminal dispute resolution system, er, I mean JUSTICE system, evaporated when OJ walked. When Pres Clinton walked out acquitted of perjury and obstruction of justice, that was just a nice “Fuck you!” from everyone in the establishment to the rest of us rubes who still want something to believe in. We should have burnt the place down then. Now? Why bother.
Good news is hard to find these days, but pretending thsat the above aren’t existing states of affairs is delusional. As GW Bush is reported to have said: “This suckers goin’ down.”
One of the worst features of Democracy (The USA was transformed into one) is a total lack of accountability.
Obviously it has been used as an excuse by the rich to absolve themselves of any social or civic responsibility. Rush Limbaught an his ilk still have “conservatives” arguing for corporate enslavement.

If the government departments can afford to let employees leave their jobs for four months, then those employees are redundant and should be laid off.
They’re government. They’re all redundant.
It surely appears no one is in charge besides the corporate interests now making political demands. They will regret it. Tell half your customers you hate them and somebody that doesn’t will fill the void.
Not if they have a monopoly.
Make that -government-abetted monopoly.
