First, two articles that were next to each other in my news feed:
In wake of Ralph Yarl shooting, Black teens face fear and resignation (Washington Post)
9 teenagers shot, wounded at after-prom party in Texas (ABC News)
The second article explains the first. Jasper, Texas, has more black people than white people. The reason Ralph Yarl got shot was because young black males are going around shooting people. We don’t have a ‘gun violence’ problem in America, we have a ‘young black make gun violence’ problem in America. And I doubt seriously that these young black males went through the bureaucratic hoops our Lords & Masters have put into place in order to keep guns out of the hands of riff-raff. This is the dirty little secret that nobody in the Narrative media can say, or even think, because it runs directly contrary to everything they believe about how the world works.

“As long as there exist stupid people supporting stupid governments in their countries, people living in those countries will continue fluttering badly in the cesspool created by this utter foolishness!”—Turkish playwright Mehmet Murat ildan
That didn’t take long. The mayor-elect of Chicago, Democrat Brandon Johnson, responded to a group of teenagers who attacked cars and assaulted drivers in the Loop last weekend by what sounds like justification for their behavior.
While saying he does not “condone the destructive activity” (there’s a euphemism) and that it “has no place in Chicago” (when it increasingly does), Johnson added that “it is not constructive to demonize youth who have otherwise been starved of opportunities in their own communities.”
The second part of his statement nullifies the first.
Time to leave.

The game is rigged as far as the ‘Green Transition’ is concerned, with specific technologies and companies receiving support from international institutions and governments to ‘transition’ the surplus value of the working and middle classes to themselves. For now, this has involved highlighting some environmental issues over others (like CO2 emissions over microplastics).
However, the rigging is only partial and, like much of what comes out of Brussels, haphazard. There remains plenty of room for citizen initiatives to siphon off funds and build entities that would add value to the European economy, employ Europeans, and result in genuine community-level resilience in the face of global supply chain vulnerability.

On March 27, nearly a month ago, Audrey Hale murdered six people in a Nashville school before herself being killed by police. Like substantially all mass murderers, Hale was deeply troubled. Among other things, shortly before her rampage she decided that she was, or wanted to be, a man. Her murders came immediately before a national “Trans Day of Vengeance” that was promoted with violent imagery. And the trans movement has, in general, been radical and frequently violent.
After Hale’s death, Nashville authorities announced that she had left behind a number of writings including a “manifesto.” It is reasonable to assume that these writings would shed some light on her motivations. I wrote here about Hale’s manifesto and the reasons why it is likely to be of public interest, notwithstanding the fact that the ravings of mass murderers should normally be given little attention.
Mass shooters’ “manifestos” are normally published, especially when they can be used to put the “right wing” in a bad light. And at the time, Nashville authorities said that Hale’s manifesto would be made public after it had been analyzed by the FBI.
But it has yet to see the light of day.
What does it say that the Crust doesn’t want you to hear?
UPDATE: Nashville Official Says School Shooter’s Manifesto Is ‘Astronomically Dangerous’ To the Narrative, certainly.

Most rich people who take part in politics are on the Left, which is a major reason why the Democratic Party and its candidates consistently have so much more money than the Republican Party and its candidates.
I have long been bemused by rich liberals like Warren Buffett, who tell us their tax rates are too low. Really? Guess what: the IRS will cash your check! If you seriously think you aren’t paying enough taxes, or you actually believe the government spends money more wisely and effectively than you do, there is an easy solution. Write the IRS a check, I guarantee they will cash it.
Yet, strangely, I have never heard of a rich liberal doing this, even though most of these people are second or third generation beneficiaries who cannot comprehend how hard their ancestors worked to accumulate the wealth that they enjoy.
On Wednesday, a group of rich people held a press conference in Washington, urging Congress to pass a 90% tax rate on the wealthy. Stephen Moore crashed their party. It turns out that these rich liberals don’t actually want to turn their own money over to the government. The woman who pipes up at the end is, I understand, a Disney.
The point is that these mooks don’t want taxes raised on them; they want them raised on other people, people who don’t make as much money as they do and therefore would be put at a comparative disadvantage financially by higher tax rates. The ‘write a check’ response is all it takes to strip the word-salad disguise off of this attempted robbery.

One of the many problems with “green” energy is that it is ridiculously expensive. Millions of Americans, if they have to pay the cost of wind or solar energy to power their homes, will not be able to afford it, and will have to sell out. Liberals know this, despite their absurd propaganda about wind energy being “cheap.”
So what can they do? Follow the usual liberal playbook: make upper-income people pay the costs of their misguided policies:
California’s electric companies want to charge people based on their incomes rather than their electricity consumption in a bid to make utilities more “equitable.”
Most people think that when two people pay the same price for the same good or service, it is equitable. But not in today’s brave new world of Leftism.

The Supreme Court is deliberating a case that could address operations by local governments that confiscate land — a practice called “home-equity theft.”
According to The Wall Street Journal, the method of seizing the total value of land rather than just the amount the government is owed is currently legal in 12 states and Washington, D.C.
All blue states I expect.

The so-called “national divorce” that was promoted earlier this year by some Republicans appears to be occurring organically, according to a new analysis of U.S. population trends.
Since 2020, some 2.6 million people have moved out of U.S. counties that were won by President Joe Biden and into those that former President Donald Trump prevailed in, the analysis found. It cited recent Census Bureau data.
“More than 61 percent of the counties that voted for Biden in 2020 lost population, while 65 percent of Trump-supporting counties gained population,” the Issues and Insights analysis said. The data showed that some 2,562,937 people moved from Democrat-leaning counties to Republican-leaning counties since Biden was elected in the divisive November 2020 election.

Other than the obvious one, incompetence.
I am always amused by the moves that show the CIA or the FBI using the latest and greatest tech in their operations, or military systems that are always cutting-edge and perfectly integrated. When I was in the Navy, we were lucky if the tech we maintained was only 20 years out of date.

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley called out Newsweek after the outlet reached out for comment about the color of a dress she wore to her daughter’s wedding.
“This is why people don’t trust the media. Liberal ‘journalists’ spend their time harassing conservatives about outfit choices,” Haley tweeted Friday. “Grow up, Newsweek.”
She is reported to have worn a white dress to her daughter’s wedding. This is apparently a Rube Faux Pas among the Crust.

Why is it that leftists keep making it harder for people to stay clean?
Hygiene really sets conservatives and leftists apart. We keep seeing leftist celebrities bragging that they don’t bathe much. Ashton Kutcher, for example, says he never showers. Brad Pitt is notorious for stinking. Leftists push low-flow shower heads that make good rinsing difficult. They stuck us with efficient washing machines that put mold in our clothes no matter what we do to fix the problem.
Today’s beef: low-flow toilets.

The typical socialist is not a ferocious working man in greasy overalls and a raucous voice. He is either a useful snob or a prim little man with a white-collar job—usually a secret teetotaler and often with vegetarian leanings, with a history of non-conformity behind him and a social position he has no intention of forfeiting.
In addition to these two types is the disquieting presence of cranks. Socialism draws into itself by magnetic force every juice drinker, nudist, sandal-wearer, sex maniac, Quaker, Nature cure quack, pacifist, and feminist in England.
These groups alienate decent people.
And there are the middle-class socialists who talk about a classless society but will never give up their own social prestige.
