Lovers Of Life? I Don't Think So!

This past week it was revealed that the execrable JB Pritzker, failing governor of Illinois and laughingly considered an actual candidate for the Democrat campaign for president in '26, has passed a euthanasia bill in his state.  Many on the left...morons all for thinking this dude should be governor...hail this as a victory for "death with dignity".  That's funny.  Suicide is somehow "dignified".

The pat argument is that for those enduring horribly painful suffering, doctor assisted suicide is a "right" which everyone somehow has and, by golly, it's high time they were afforded this exit strategy to relieve them of their suffering.  

My father-in-law was no longer willing to live on by virtue of life-support measures...hooked up to machines which helped him breathe more easily...nor by being served hand and foot by his wife and family unable to do anything for himself.  This was the state to which ALS had led him slowly and he decided that if it was his time, then he will no longer deny Death his desire.  Thus, he chose to remove all life-support measures and see what happens, knowing that his end was damn near guaranteed.  He did indeed pass away as a result, with his family surrounding him.

So how is this different than euthanasia if death is so likely?  Well, he wasn't killed.  He was allowed to die if Death chose to take him.  Euthanasia means one is being killed, not "allowed to die".  "Red", as he was known to many (coincidentally, as was my actual father), did die with dignity because his ailment was taking him one way or another, with it only being a matter of when.  It should have and would have happened well before his decision were his life not supported by medical equipment.  

So that's the difference.  What Prickster has done is just another leftist life-taking measure.  Whereas he supports taking life just begun, he now allows life to be taken later in life.  That's so progressive, isn't it?  

Now, we have to wonder just how this will play out in the future.  I don't know the details of the bill...what limitations are written into it.  But I can't help but feel confident that this will be allowed for lots of people who are not suffering extreme and unrelenting pain.  I can't help but feel that it will simply lead to tons of suicides.  

One thing I have just read is that it requires that the death certificate of the patient not mention euthanasia...or the ingestion of drugs or however one is put down...as the cause of death, despite it being so.  No.  They're required to put whatever illness from which the patient suffered as the cause.  That is, coroners are required to lie.  

Again, "progressives"...who make lots of noise about opposing oppression, infringement no human rights and other highfalutin posturing...show they are not the lovers of life they want us to believe they are.  Abort the children, kill off the elderly and sick.  

But what else?  How about cashless bail and the release into the general population violent, often insane criminals who will again rape and murder?  How about defending the "right" of illegal invaders to remain in this country regardless of their character, just because Trump chose to do his duty and send them packing.? How about defending drug runners on the pretense Trump has no idea if they're drug runners or fisherman?  As we've seen in discussions at Craig's blog, what counts for abuses and oppression is really a matter of who is the abused and who is accused of abusing.  The reality is more often than not, the abusers and oppressors are the progressive left.

Stunning News!

 https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2025/12/no_nobody_on_the_right_is_celebrating_the_murder_of_director_rob_reiner.html

By now perhaps everyone who visits here has heard the news of the murders of Rob Reiner and his wife allegedly at the hands of their own son.  I can't imagine such a thing.  

What doesn't surprise me is the contrast between this senseless act and that perpetrated against Charlie Kirk.  I've seen nothing thus far which in any way mirrors or parallels the vile response by way too many lefties after Charlie's murder.  

Clearly, Rob Reiner was a political moron.  He was Trabue-level stupid in his regard for Trump, and possibly just as hateful.  His talent as regards film and entertainment was obvious.  I've enjoyed every move of his that I've seen, and that would be most of them...some of them immensely.  Now, as Monica Showalter said, we'll never see any new stuff from him.  

But that aside, there's no joy in conservatives at his passing.  Conservatives just don't operate that way.  It's among the many stark differences between us on a general level...and I would humbly say, to our credit.  Or perhaps more appropriately, to the discredit of the left, who seem to always, to one degree or another, speak in terms of us "dying off" or straight up killing us, depending upon the leftist with one is specifically engaged.  (And to the dismissal of some lefties, that's not at all unheard of.)

I just can't put my mind around what could possibly compel such a reaction to any issue which might arise between one person and another.  This came up with this tragic situation, as well as with the Brown University killings which also just happened over the weekend.  As to the Reiner issue, I would hope the son does some serious time, but will have his issues fully resolved whether his life ends in prison or he someday gets released.  

Very sad.  Very sad.

This Post Had No Title. Now It Does. THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT LIKE US!

Note:  Yes, I changed the title of this post.  It seemed apropos.

I've been sitting on this for a while, and at this point it's almost just old news.  But two things compelled me to just go ahead and post it.  The first is that the initial link below is still relevant as all get out.  It was my initial inspiration for this post.  The second is Dan's most recent post as his Blog of Lies and Perversions, wherein he indulges in his well known psychotic and very unChristian grace embracing hatred of our president.  Dan continues to be the poster child for "All Which Is Wrong With America".  So here it is...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As we all know, Dems in Dem states won elections.  Virginia, New Jersey and NYC all elected Dems for the various open offices on the ballot.  Not a one of them was won by a Dem of class and character.  Of course, those words...as well as words like "honor", "morality" and "honesty"...have no real value to either the political or religious left.  

In pondering the outcome of these elections, I felt compelled to write about them here and what it portends.  But that's kind of silly since what has occurred was what past elections had portended at the time.  Thus, things are moving in the worst way in the worst direction, slowed only by the great work of our president and a few conservative governors.  

So as I was trying to figure out how to express myself, I found a great piece which says much in my stead.  

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2025/11/results_are_in_american_leftists_willingly_embrace_evil.html

I was so impressed with the author's comprehensive analysis.  She really presented well so many of the vile things with which the left aligns themselves.  As an aside, I also appreciate the fact that she referred to George Floyd's death as "self-inflicted" as opposed to a murder, which is how even way too many conservatives describe it, simply because a poor justice system said so.

Moron Zamdani naturally gets most of the attention, as he is, by far, the most egregious winner among the leftist election victories.  It's amazing that in a city which was the target of an islamic attack which murdered 3000 Americans, most of whom were in the World Trade Center buildings destroyed in the assault, it's also a city comprised of so many Jews, who are still constantly targeted by islamists of the type Moron Zamdani just couldn't bring himself to condemn for their October 7, 2023 murder, rape and kidnapping spree.  I guess he views it as "the voice of the unheard" or some kind of "self-determination" migration into Israel from Gaza.  But he is representative of what the Democrat Party has become, and they have plenty of support from the stupider of the unwashed.

As regards that particular election, there's much which alarms, such as who celebrated his victory:

And there are other things quite interesting, one of which suggests a huge problem with the 19th Amendment:

I'm All For It

 In one of Craig's recent posts, Dan felt compelled to weigh in with his usual vile hatred for our president.  The issue was the Trump administration's targeting of narco-terrorists from Venezuela running drugs toward our shores.  Our people would blow up their boats in international waters.  Dan was apparently fine with Biden's open border policies which allowed all manner of scumbag to bring their fentanyl and other drugs across our borders for distribution to stupid people as well as the unsuspecting.  It's said 100K died every year from such poisoning, and Dan had nothing much to say in protest.  If Trump opened the borders, instead of protecting his people as is his sworn duty, Dan would be seeking his impeachment and/or imprisonment because...you know...Must Hate Trump.  And Dan does indeed. 

There's absolutely no policy of Trump's which is above scrutiny.  It is fair, reasonable and frankly, the duty of every American to pay attention as closely as possible to discern what he's attempting to do and if it's a good thing or a bad thing.  

Trump has designated several radical and/or blatantly criminal organizations as terrorists.  With regard to assholes like Tren de Aragua, he has designated them as narco-terrorists who have availed themselves of Biden's stupidity and made for themselves a presence in this country.  Trump...being a regular guy who actually loves his country...wasn't cool with that.  Trump...being an actual man who doesn't like to mess around when serious shit hits the fan...chooses to do something about it.  Trump...being an actual man who doesn't bullshit about the seriousness of a problem and what must be done to resolve it...has chosen to go on the offensive against these most offensive people.  

Dan doesn't like that.  Oh...it's not because Dan cares about who might get 86'd.  Oh no!  It's because...you know...Must Hate Trump and anything and everything he does must be opposed because Dan, knowing nothing but Must Hate Trump, presumes he can criticize the best president we've had since Ronald Reagan...another great president Dan hated.  

Anyway, Dan demands people of intelligence join morons like him in pretending Trump is committing war crimes and such.  It takes a modern progressive asshat to suggest protecting the people of our nation against drug cartels and their deadly products is akin to war crimes, if an asshat is what you want, then Dan is definitely your huckleberry.  He's world class and card-carrying!

So Dan pretends the Trump gang has no way to know if those they've bombed out of the water are actually scumbags and by golly, the US Constitution requires the president to run on over to Dan's place and clear it with him, just as God Almighty needs to check with Dan about abominable sexual behaviors.  Thus, I did some checking and in seconds I came up with the following hard core, far right extremist conservative site (?) which lists the many ways our people can identify narco-terrorists Dan is so keen to defend against the evil Donald J. Trump:

https://factually.co/fact-checks/justice/detecting-drug-boats-9a18ba

Do these methods, tactics and tools ensure 100% certainty?  Probably not.  But I'd wager the probability of that lofty goal is far, far higher than a putz like Dan has the honor and integrity to concede.  These aren't Jeff St chuckle-heads running this administration, nor are they Biden or Obama administration buffoons, either.  They're actual America loving patriots who, while not being perfect, shouldn't be insulted by being mentioned in the same sentence with any of the aforementioned.  None of the other are or were serious players.  They're all posers and posturing frauds not worthy of recognition. 

Good people disagree with this policy.  Dan's not among them.  I applaud it and more than that, I support taking it to the assholes in ways that have true impact on their future intentions, if not their futures altogether.  When dealing with gangs like TDA and Hamas and a few others, nothing says "We're serious about solving this problem" like killing them.

Within our borders, we have laws which require proving someone is guilty before killing them, or in cases of killing them on the streets, agonizing process compels confirming no other recourse.  While this works great for those who are actually innocent, it puts law enforcement and the public at great risk and so much more often than not, law enforcement and neighbors are well aware of who the most dangerous assholes are.  The really bad guys murder publicly or leave the bodies out in the open as a warning.  This works in areas where LE is not truly concerned with E-ing the L or protecting the citizenry.  But good people can use a similar strategy to put fear where it belongs...in the black hearts of the evil.  

Trump is notable for understanding the necessity of this practice.  It's no good to say it incites the evil to be more evil because they're already evil.  As it stands, bad actors on the world stage are not keen to drawing Trump's attention by being assholes.  He made that known in his first time in office and he's done so again with the strike on Iran.  His righteous assaults on drug runners from a narco state is another example and it is absolutely necessary.  

The only problem with it is that it is not enough.  Evil must be vanquished for the good of us all.  There's way too much of it in the world and the evil thinks the world is theirs.  

Dan's good with that.  He's good with that so long as Trump ends up in jail.  

Neil Simpson. Rest In God's Eternal Peace.

Strangely, I consider myself fortunate to have noticed the Facebook announcement of the passing of my blogger friend and an incredible defender of the Faith, Neil Simpson.  I would have been exceedingly saddened to have found out long after the fact.  It was clear his end was nigh.  What a brave example to the rest of us how he faced the inevitable.  His battle raged for years, sometimes believing he was victorious, only to be once again besieged by the ravages of his increasingly oppressive illness.  

We've never met, but my grief is as no less than having lost someone with whom I was always face to face.  As with the passing of Eric Ashley, I feel this no less than I would a brother or life-long friend and it weighs heavy upon me.  Indeed, I'm crushed by the news as if he was blood.  Both these fine men were close geographically...within six to eight hours drive and I'm defeated knowing I could have never did.  Now I never can.  

Now there are only three left I would love to meet in person and despite the fact they are so much farther away, I want so much to meet and break bread and raise a glass with Craig, Glenn and Stan.  That would please me greatly and I know we would give it up for Neil and Eric and thank our Lord for knowing them, even if only online.  

In the Name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ, may He welcome Neil (and Eric, too) into His everlasting presence.  May they both have heard Him say to them, "Well done, good and faithful servant."

Something Like What Craig's Been Posting Lately

 The following is from a Robert A. J. Gagnon Facebook post, but was originally a post from another guy who's name I just forgot to write down.  (Craig's posted one or two things from the dude and I'll amend this post when I get his name.)  I saw it and as it was related to a post or two of Craig's on the issue of "who's worse" (my name for it), we see the problems Craig has referenced.  Here it is:

The Cato Institute just published a report claiming right-wing violence is far more common than left-wing violence, and they released it in the very month that Charlie Kirk was assassinated.

That timing is revolting, but the data itself is even worse!

The Daily Caller exposed how Alex Nowrasteh’s list conveniently left out key left-wing killers that would have changed the balance.

The Waukesha killer in 2021 drove his SUV through a Christmas parade, killing six and injuring dozens more, after a stream of anti-white social media posts, rapping against Donald Trump, and voicing support for Black Lives Matter.

A local BLM chapter even raised money for his bail.

Jessica Doty-Whitaker was shot and killed by BLM protesters after she or someone in her group said “all lives matter.” Her case remains unsolved, yet CATO never counted it.

An anti-natalist bombed an IVF clinic in 2025, killing one person, and that too was ignored.

Those omissions are not small. Adding them would nudge the left-wing category above the right wing category, destroying the entire premise of CATO’s report.

And of course, the other issue with Nowrasteh’s list is that it only counts killings. That means it leaves out some of the most notorious acts of political violence of our time.

It ignores the two assassination attempts on Donald Trump.

It ignores the 2017 Republican baseball shooting that nearly killed Steve Scalise.

It ignores the attempted stabbing of Lee Zeldin on the campaign trail.

It ignores a neighbor’s brutal attack on Sen. Rand Paul that broke his ribs.

It ignores the man arrested outside Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s home with plans to assassinate him.

It ignores the bomb planted under a Fox News van that failed to detonate.

Every one of these is political violence, and every one is erased by CATO’s framework.

This is not honest research. It is manipulation to smear the right and excuse the left.

Because the truth is that violence is not accidental on the left, it is built into their philosophy. They believe government is the weapon, mobs are their muscle, and coercion is their road to power.

When the left is angry, cities burn. When the left is challenged, opponents are silenced with threats. When the left loses, violence is the answer.

The right responds to tragedy in an entirely different way. We turn to God, to community, to vigils and prayer. We believe in healing, not burning.

That is the divide CATO refuses to acknowledge.

The left turns to fire.

But the right turns to faith.

And until America faces that truth, no amount of fake statistics will hide where the real epidemic of violence comes from.

I shared it on my Facebook page immediately because these types of "studies" seem to be common today, and rarely without rebuttals which expose the flaws of the studies/reports.  

In the comments following the posting of this, one person offered this link:

(4) Is there really more political violence on the right? - YouTube 

The examples provided in the video are three which have no relation to politics, but are simply heinous crimes, and the perpetrators are subjectively included among the center-right population because it serves the narrative.  It's cheap padding of the list...a not too uncommon tactic of the left.

I also want to point out the person who put together the CATO Inst. list.  Alex Nowrasteh.   This guy can't seem to publish anything which isn't suspect.  Dan's cited his work in the past, which validates my certainty that Dan does next to nothing with regard to due diligence in choosing what to cite.  His efforts stop at the title or the conclusion, but nothing in between.  That's not just intellectually lazy, but dishonest.

Another Shot Heard 'Round The World

I was going to put this somewhere in the last post, but I decided it deserved it's own:
