Great Moments in Foreign Government

International Liberty

In my writings about “Great Moments in Foreign Government,” I’ve come across amazing examples of bone-headed and incompetent behavior by politicians and bureaucrats in other nations.

• The British government giving welfare to people with multiple wives.
• The German government having a jihadist working in one of its intelligence agencies.
• The Italian government appointing the wrong person for a job that shouldn’t exist.
• The Norwegian government financing friends for a mass murderer.
• The Greek government turning tourists into snoops for the tax police.
• The French government ordering trains that were too wide for railway stations.
• The Japanese government persecuting people for the horrible crime of giving unlicensed coffee enemas.
• The British government providing welfare payments for foreigners living in other countries.
• The German government spending more to administer a tax than it gets from collecting the tax.

Let’s add to this collection with three new stories about failures by foreign governments.

This Time We Liberals Have Totally Got Trump. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

THAT'S WHAT I'M SCREAMING

By: Kurt Schlicter

As the Grand Marshal of the Supreme Court assembles the posse of Bailiffs, Trumpeters and Attendants, the Learned Scribes are generating the Official Law Warrant of Justice to arrest Donald Trump Jr. for High Treason, which they will do after marching to the White House on a carpet of rose petals strewn by Fair Maidens.

Or something. Whatever. The Menscian media is in a spazz yet again.

Boy oh boy, maybe this time we can overturn the results of the election…

And I admit I almost didn’t think it could happen, but things have gotten stupider. Somehow the media and their enablers decided that the worst thing in the world is for someone to be willing to hear negative information about a political opponent from a foreign government, which wasn’t a bad thing until Trump’s son tried it unsuccessfully. Apparently Putin’s cunning spies work through chunky music…

The Minimum Wage produces Minimum Jobs

Vermont Loon Watch

If you want less of something, merely regulate it more and you will succeed.

Applebee’s Franchise Owner Gives Candid Interview About Firings Thanks to Minimum Wage Hike

Matt recently brought you up to date on how liberals’ minimum wage demands have done severe damage to Seattle’s and New York’s businesses. He highlighted a New York Post report revealing that, in the wake of the increased rate to $15 an hour, New York lost a staggering 1,000 restaurants.

Applebee’s was one of the businesses that has been especially hard pressed by the minimum wage hike. Zane Tankel, the CEO of Applebee’s New York franchise, explained that his restaurants were forced to fire at least 1,000 employees so far thanks to the liberal policy. He shared the unfortunate news with Fox Business’s Stuart Varney on Monday.

Instead of typical servers, the CEO explained that they will soon be replaced by concierges, who…

Something else that all our teachers lied to us about.

Flyover-Press.com

I lead with a story such as this because what has been happening to the Zuendels is and will continue to happen to Southern historians and cultural warriors. Just as it became illegal, in Germany, to question the official narrative about the 2nd World War, and anything relating to Naziism or the holocaust, now our country has waged an all out war on all things “confederate.” Basically, our nation is attempting to take a 20 year block of history and just make it go away.

Oh but my teachers wouldn’t lie to me. (Sarcasm in case you didn’t notice.) — jtl, 419

President Donald Trump was met Thursday in Poland by cheering crowd. “Fox & Friends” approvingly noted the enthusiastic response to President Trump’s speech, including chants of “USA.”

Trump praised the Polish spirit after summing up the nation’s horrific experience in World War II as “trouble”…

Another Ghoulish and Tyrannical Moment in Government-Run Healthcare

International Liberty

Writing about the sub-par single-payer healthcare system in the United Kingdom, Paul Krugman infamously claimed that,“In Britain, the government itself runs the hospitals and employs the doctors. We’ve all heard scare stories about how that works in practice; these stories are false.”

I’ve pointed out that there are plenty of “scare stories” about the National Health Service that are completely true. And completely scary.

But don’t take my word for it.

Just click here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, or here if you want examples.

To be fair, there surely are horror stories from every health care system. Humans are imperfect, after all.

But I suspect shoddy care is more common when healthcare providers get a salary from the government. Under such an arrangement…

Get Ready For CIVIL WAR!

Locked and Loaded!!!

Flyover-Press.com

Retired Lieutenant Colonel Anthony Shaffer warns that the violent left will eventually start a physical conflict with right-wing Americans…Patriots across the country are preparing for, and trying to stop, an all-out civil war.

Well maybe. But it sure never hurts to “keep your powder dry.” — jtl, 419

The establishment left is preparing for civil war

The Alex Jones Show – June 23, 20171503 Comments

Globalist forces are preparing to overthrow President Donald Trump and start a new Civil War in America.

Meanwhile, the Hollywood elite continue their twisted crusade to destroy Trump and radicalize their gullible followers.

Anarchists & Antifa activists are engaging in sporadic street battles across the country as the alt-left propaganda machine lies to the American people about the Trump-Russia conspiracy theory.

MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski suggested President Trump’s administration is leading to the development of a dictatorship and alluded to the thought of someone…

Global Warming: Canadian Ice Alert

Stately McDaniel Manor

Oh, this is just too good. Back in 2014, I wrote Icebreaker Irony, which was, well, very ironic. Here’s a sample:

Every now and again, a story comes along so filled with ironic goodness that I spend days chuckling whenever I think of it, and particularly, whenever I think of the intellectual energy the smug, effete, intellectual twits involved expended to deny and spin the obvious.  In this case, the intellectual firepower involved surely is of the refrigerator bulb wattage variety.

You’ve heard of the ship stuck in the Antarctic–the MV Akademik Schokalskiy–and the unsuccessful attempts of Chinese and French icebreakers to reach her?  What a tragedy…but hey, what was that ship doing so far out in the Antarctic this time of year anyway?  Are you ready for this?  Sit down…

New study: fracking doesn’t contaminate groundwater

WINTERY KNIGHT

Hydraulic fracturing, also known as “fracking”

A new study was reported in the Daily Signal.

Excerpt:

Hydraulic fracturing hasn’t contaminated groundwater in Texas, isn’t an earthquake hazard, and has been a boon for the state’s economy, according to a study released Monday.

The new study’s conclusions on drinking water are in line with multiple other studies of hydraulic fracturing, popularly known as fracking.

Hydraulic fracturing is the process of drilling into rock and injecting a high-pressure mixture of water, sand, and chemicals to obtain shale gas and oil, which is produced from fractured rock. Some environmentalists argue that it can harm water supplies.

The report initiated by the Academy of Medicine, Engineering and Science of Texas, based in Austin, asserted that “direct migration of contaminants from targeted injection zones is highly unlikely to lead to contamination of potential drinking water aquifers.”

[…]“In Texas and pretty much everywhere, hydraulic…

50 BMG: Keeping Barbarians Up At Night

Stately McDaniel Manor

This is a story that provides a clue about why we will ultimately prevail over the barbarians that wish to drive civilization back to the dark ages. It’s about training, determination and skill, but more than anything, it tells the thinking person that all cultures are not, for a moment, equivalent. In fact, not all cultures are remotely civilized. The vehicle is a world-record sniper shot, as told by The Daily Mail:

A Canadian sniper has beat the record for the longest confirmed kill in military history by picking off an ISIS fighter from a staggering 11,319 feet.

The bullet was fired from a McMillan TAC-50 rifle set on a high-rise tower and took 10 seconds to travel the 2.14 miles towards the fighter, who was attacking Iraqi soldiers.

This smashed the last record set by a Briton Craig Harrison, who killed a Taliban soldier with a 338 Lapua Magnum…
