Who benefits from “woke”?
With Colorado ranked #2 as the most dangerous state in
the country, some reasons are glaringly obvious.

The question of who benefits, IMO, are the ultra wealthy
like George Soros socialists who want to destroy our culture and freedom
coupled with rulers in countries that hate us. They fund the campaigns of the
(P)regressives running for office. Not a new or profound observation on my
part.
At the moment, six Democrats have announced they will run
for the CO 8th Congressional seat. Already I get weekly flyers
attacking the Republican incumbent with broad accusations, but no verifiable facts.
Last election public records show over $40,000,000 was
spent on this one piss ant seat.
Colorado’s New Gun Laws
For those who have the stomach, here is an overview of
the new Blue Turd restrictions on lawful firearm owners. Should keep lawyers full employment
for months to come, while giving sheriffs in deep blue counties draconian
control over who can own a firearm.

Along the lines of the devil is in the details, several
of these will be dependent on receiving “grants” to fund them.
Most of these won’t survive the court process but while
that is happening we have less freedom.
How do we make these gun grabbers feel some financial
hurt? That is one way to stop them.
The Irish, obstinate beyond
belief
The news out of Northern Ireland recently has been more ‘Troubles’.
This time it is the natives against the state sponsored Muslim immigrants.
Obstinate: Consider this song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25MSWIz6vag
Key lyric, “We’ve fought you for 800 years, and we’ll
fight you for 800 more”. More South than North, to be true.
Who knows; perhaps the combination of EU socialism and
unrestricted immigration might result in a Unified Ireland where both the North
and the South kick out the overbearing tyrants.
Stellentis declares bankruptcy
The first casualty of Trump’s tariffs declare the
American Mainstream Maggots (h/t BZ). Tariffs may be part of it but shitty
product made it inevitable. How do you ruin brands like Jeep, Dodge, Nissan,
Ram, and Chrysler in the USA? Try saving pennies on an HVAC air system
actuator, cost around $50, that takes $4,000 in labor charge to replace? The
list goes on. Nissan/CVT transmissions. Fiats rebadged as Jeeps and “Trail
Rated”.
The total brands they own are:
Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Citroën, Dodge,
DS Automobiles, Fiat, Jeep, Lancia, Maserati, Opel, Peugeot, Ram, and Vauxhall.
Ancient history now, when Henry II checked out and Donald
Petersen became Ford President, he instituted, “Quality is Job One”. He got the
UAW on board. The design team that brought the next generation Thunderbird in
at 600 lbs overweight got fired. Unprecedented in the car biz, Ford went on to
make more money in one quarter than the rest of the USA industry combined.
I was selling Fords at the time. The Escort, Tempo, and
Taurus were nearly bullet proof, had decent performance, and the trucks were
solid. Happy times to be selling Fords.
Both GM and Ford are not far behind Stellentis. GM has a
disaster with their 6.2 truck engines
falling apart. Ford has their EcoBoost problems and problems with the turbos on
the diesel engines failing because of emission blunders. Both have more truck
problems with the ten speed automatic transmission they jointly developed.
I can keep my 2002 Ford Taurus going for a long time for
less than the first year deprecation on anything new. Bonus: What is more anonymous than a gray Taurus without a single bumper sticker or dealer logo?
Follow the money
Glen Valley Foods, Omaha, NE
MORE
was served a search warrant by ICE. Over 100 illegal’s were detained. The owner
was recorded claiming all had been E-Verified before they were hired. Who
helped all these people get fake IDs and SSN? Odds are, they didn’t do it for
free. They need to be found and prosecuted, IMO.
Wolves
My sympathies will always align with the ranchers.

Alberta
Canada politics seem even more convoluted than ours. I
have a passing interest but no dog in the fight. Any speculation on what Trump
may do at the G-7 Summit 6/15-17 in Alberta? Will he play nice?
As always, YMMV
