Jim Acosta, 62, Former Democrat Activist, Dies in Cuba

Jim Acosta, 62, former White House Correspondent for the now defunct liberal news network CNN, died in Havana yesterday of alcohol poisoning.

Acosta was known for his liberal views and outrageous behavior during the Trump Administration (2016-2024) White House briefings. After the second Civil War, Acosta chose exile after several high profile Marxist activists were "made an example of" by right wing extremist factions during the short fights on the East and West coasts of the United States,  resulting in a mass exodus of Marxists from the U.S. to other countries. 

Acosta was unable to find employment in his father's native land of Cuba, and was jailed several times for voicing his opinion on Cuba's treatment of journalists. In his later years he tried to live on handouts from clandestine Marxists in the United States, and begging on the streets of Havana. His last post on an underground blogging website lamented that "I feel like I'll only be remembered as a Washington buffoon." Acosta is survived by two daughters and a son.

Equally distributed talent

I just watched one of those social justice warrior commercials where the announcer broadly claimed, "The world we live in equally distributes talent, but not opportunity."

This is the SJW battle cry, and the second part of that that was unsaid, was "The US is the worst offender of this unequal distribution of opportunity. And behind that is the patriarchy."

Nothing could be further from the truth. But the liberal mindset can't handle the truth. In a ironic mockery of that liberal bastion of power and prejudice, A Few Good Men, written by a liberal heroin addict, who never served a day in his life, there was one perfect line to describe the SJW world view, you can't handle the truth.

The truth, my little snowflakes, is that you are not special. Mike Rowe has been harping this for a few years now. In a grimy little sandpit in MCRD San Diego, and on the side of a muddy cliff in Camp Pendleton I learned this the hard way.

Now we're seeing this on a broad scale across the country on an election held over a year ago. They can't handle the truth. As Daniel Greenfield pointed out, this is how a civil war happens.  We have almost half of this country that believes that the US is a racist, homophobic, misogynistic, group of white men who must be stopped at all costs. W must lose our careers, our personal property, and eventually our lives. Make no mistake, that is their agenda. The strangest thing, is they have white guys on their side who believe this also. Don't believe me, look at the videos.

So, being the member of an endangered species, and slowly being backed up to a wall, gentlemen, there was one other thing the Marines taught me, one thing I suggest you all heed.

Prepare yourself

North Korea and the Democrats are still fighting their last war

It's worked before. Threaten to shut down the government, the media will announce the it's the Conservative's fault, capture the narrative, the Conservatives cave, and get what you want, which will lead to the eventual demise of the Conservatives and the United States.

It's worked before. Threaten war or mass destruction, the media will announce that we're all going to die, and the administration will pull back on the sanctions, and get what you want.

Except for now.

The Big Grift

It wasn't amazing to find the Clintons' hand up Lady Liberty's skirt, selling favors to American rivals at the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars. What would be amazing, would be anyone shocked at the spectacle.

A secretary of state, who after being a senator for years, decides to have her own email server. This is an interesting development in her career, no? She was a senator before she became Secretary of State. Why now? What changed?

It was the deep state silly.

When Clinton was a senator, she didn't direct access to deep state policies and paperwork. Not really. Senators don't run agencies. Once Hillary had her own agency, she and Bill must of cooked up this scheme to milk it for all that it was worth. But they had one major problem. Any deals they made via State could not be done on a government server, there would be direct evidence.

Even more troubling, is the amount of corruption and collusion that we've seen from the deep state and the media. These people sold the State Department for hundreds of millions of dollars in the biggest grift in U.S. Government history, and the amount of obfuscation and willfull ignorance on the part of both embedded deep state employees and media outlets is astounding.

I laughed a little when I heard Trump say "Drain the swamp." It was a catchy phrase, and Trump is the master of branding things. And I knew there was corruption there, it was the small-time contractor gets contract for paybacks, but hey, the IG will root it out, they'll be some headlines, the bad guys will go to jail. Not a big deal.

Except of you're a deep state elite. The media will come out and throw their reputations away to protect you. Just look at the parade of clowns from Washington and New York, from ABC to CNN, of useful idiots pushing the Russia collusion obfusticator to derail the story on the Big Grift, and getting caught with their hand in the urine dossier.

Normally a story such as the the Big Grift would make even a Democrat run for the hills. But today's Democrat knows no shame. If the offender was a deep state elite, she had an addiction. She was a victim too. Hillary is addicted to money and power, was it really her fault?

Except if he was a white male, then he can be sacrificed. Lately we've seen a spate of deep state donor elite sacrifices, maybe as a distraction from the Big Grift, maybe it's just a coincidence. Detectives don't like coincidences. Perhaps this is a crescendo whose end result was to make Trump resign. And now the Democrats will feel some remorse. Did they go too far? Trump's still President, and they threw all these earners under the bus. Sure they were perverts and pedophiles, but we're Democrats, we've always been full of perverts and pedophiles.

No worries. We still have Soros and Bezos. The 'os will save us. 

Civil War

This is in response to E.M. Cadwaladr's piece on the shape of another civil war.

1) "It would not look like the first American Civil War."

Agreed, for the most part. But almost all wars have their roots in the economy, as will this one. The Left want your money. They're Marxists, and like all Marxists, they want the cash. 

2) "The US is not as regionally aggregated as it was for the last civil war." 

Agreed, we are now a nation of islands. In the first civil war, the border areas where were the worst fighting raged, at least at the beginning. But this really won't matter, as the leftist islands have no weapons, and more importantly, they lack the will to actually fight. 

3) "A second American Civil War would be much more similar to the Spanish Civil War, with the leftists dominating the cities and conservatives controlling the countryside."
Yes, the leftists dominate the city, but they don't have the police, and they don't have the National Guard. We have the guns, literally. I've even had many leftists tell me that guns scare them. And with the exception of the five percent thug ratio, they absolutely will not fight. If history has shown us anything, it's that a Marxist organization will be taken over by the five percent thugs very quickly. But that's not enough to win a war, against a well trained and well armed military.

4) "The collapse of the world’s remaining superpower would take much of the world down with it. A global economic crisis would be inevitable."

The US will not collapse. It didn't collapse after the first civil war, it was in fact, significantly stronger and a bigger player on the world stage after the first civil war. With the quick capitulation of the Left, an American first strategy will put the US in a better bargaining position in world markets than its ever been.

5) "The withdrawal of American forces from bases across the world to fight at home would also create a power vacuum that others, even under economic strain, would be tempted to exploit."

America has been strategically pulling out from it's bases for the last twenty years. Obama had no clear strategy, and gutted the military. Some bad eggs have popped up from time to time, and China and Russia have been making aggressive moves. That would continue, up to the point where the war was over, after less than a year. Then look for the newly united country to reassert itself on the world stage as it did after the last civil war.

6) "Add to this the breakdown of our transportation system, dependent on oil and transecting one new front line after another. The internet would fail. It is a frail enough now. Financial systems would fail."

An armed conflict will cause shortages and outages, that's inevitable. But the lowering of taxes after the conflict, and the restructuring of government and corporate processes to a meritocracy versus the current leftist disaster will usher in an era of technology and business that will rejuvenate American culture.

As stated above, I agree with Calwadladr's view of the military, we have the military, and the police. The blue collar guys that keep the whole thing going have come over to our side after the unions failed them. And the left, will not fight. Hashtag resist is going to make the Marines laugh. We'll show you how Marines define resist. I'm sure you won't like it.

7) "...predicting a short war has usually proven to be a fool’s occupation."

Call me a fool here, but in some cases, like when one side won't fight, or is hopelessly out matched (First Gulf War) then you will get a short war. 

The question isn't how long it'll be, or how hard it will be. The real question is, what does the right do with the left after a civil war? The solution was given in a Star Trek TOS episode, The Trouble with Tribbles. The right will beam the whole kit and kaboodle over to the Klingons. Starting with the media, of course.
