Food For Thought
Thom writes, re “Prescription For Violence: The Corresponding Rise of Antidepressants, SSRIs & Mass Shootings“:
I am a psychopath.
I am a family man, I own guns. I would never go out and shoot innocent people.
I think calling psychopaths murderous people it’s not right. Just pointing that out.
I do not have any care for other people’s feelings unless they’re in my close group. I myself have a tendency to feel “empathy“ towards children and old people. But ask anyone I know and I am a good guy.
Psychopathy does not inherently predispose anyone towards violence. I am abhorrently opposed to violence. Unless one brings it upon themselves to act in a way where violence begets violence.
Just asking in the future they don’t label psychopaths as the killers. It’s usually people they have strong feelings that commit crimes. I do not have strong feelings, that is a trait of psychopaths. Therefore I have no reason to go out and shoot people. The people they go out and kill people have unregulated emotions.
Just trying to clear up the misconception.
Hope you have a great day,
Thom
The Dangerous Chinese Fork Manufacturing Gap
It’s a matter of national security!
CNBC: “How a tiny flatware manufacturer in upstate New York could win big from $738 billion defense bill”:
“Manufacturing in general is a strategic asset for our country,” Roberts said. “If you can’t make things, you rely on other countries who may or may not be your friends in the future. You don’t have control over your destiny.”
What if there was a war and China cut us off from new forks and spoons?! We would all STARVE!
Thank God Congress is here to provide corporate welfare to selected companies in order to provide security from such a catastrophe that the market is apparently far too weak to provide.

That Money They Took Right Out of Your Paycheck?
It went straight to your enemies.
American Police State
Laurie Laughlin, the lady from Full House, and her husband, clothing designer Something Mossimo, are being prosecuted by the feds for bribing their kid’s way into USC.
She now says the feds are hiding exculpatory evidence showing she thought the half-million was the same kind of “donation” to colleges that rich people give to get their kids in all the time.
We should believe her and presume that the FBI and DoJ are guilty premeditated criminals unfairly persecuting her and her husband.
Just a few weeks ago the feds announced that they were adding decades worth of charges to this couple for having the temerity to plead not guilty. They are now facing 45 years in prison.
Remember Ruby Ridge, Waco, OKC, Richard Jewell, Khobar Towers, 300 fake terrorist entrapment cases, illegal spying, the false prosecution of the Bundy family. These are the same people who falsely accused the president of the United States of high treason with the Kremlin for three years — of all things. The FBI and DoJ lie about everything. They bear false witness against innocent people as a matter of course. It’s because they are dishonest, dishonorable people. They are not to be believed.
Somehow regular schmucks like us are supposed to be happy to see the government take down someone rich and famous. Yeah right. Some mid-level TV star sure makes for a great Judas goat to take the place of the think tank liars, generals, bailed-out bankers, their Fed, the spies, arms dealers, New York Times propagandists and the rest of the insider political class that has driven this country into the ground.
The lesson is that even millions of dollars are no protection from the lawless American totalitarian police state. None of us are safe.
(Mr. Mossimo, if you’re reading this, please bring back the Target black “Saul” skate shoes. Believe it or not, they were my favorite skate shoes ever.)
Update: You see? The Department of Justice does perjury all day. They are liars. They are criminals:
“The government originally alleged Mr. McGlashan [another one of the defendants] dropped the plan to falsely pitch his son to USC as a football kicker only after Mr. Singer tipped him off to the investigation. But prosecutors confirmed to his attorney, John Hueston, in a recent letter that Mr. Singer told investigators that Mr. McGlashan decided earlier that he would be ‘going through his own connections.'”
Disposable Heroes
When I was a boy Metallica was actually still a great band. I know that must sound unbelievable. Was there ever such a time?
Yes. This was back in junior high, long before the Black Album and Metallica’s dissent into the place of worst band in the history of the human race.
This one was a heavy influence on me then. First song on the second side of Master of Puppets. For the 2,440-or so Americans killed in the Afghanistan war so far: “Disposable Heroes.”
Rock out with your troops out.
Only American to lead FBI and CIA says Trump presents ‘dire threat’ to country
Of course he does. He’s a president of the U.S. government after all.
But man, either the National Security State has the dumbest PR department in history or Trump has the most brilliant one.
But he probably couldn’t really afford to pay them what it would cost for boosts like these.
Instead, they just don’t get it. We hate them because of all of those things that they did. That’s how he won in the first place, over their dead bodies.
So what do they do? They run on Status Quo Ante 2020!
At this rate they’ll lose to the president they impeached. What a bunch of losers.
You’re not paranoid. Your phone really is listening in.
This is all just fine, right?
