Olivia Murray’s excellent blog on the latest buzzword in the left’s propaganda quiver, stochastic terrorism, had me scrambling to find an academic publication on the web that explained this term. After a few attempts, up came an article titled “Stochastic Terrorism” by Molly Amman and J. Reid Meloy, published in the October 2021 issue of Perspectives on Terrorism, available in PDF form here. The end of the article contained impressive info on the authors: (Snip) I was all set to have a look at how the authors explain “stochastic terrorism,” “psychological context,” “history and phenomenology,” “linguistic pragmatics” and “poliregression” until, way at the end of the final sentence,

The only thing of note that happened Jan 6 was that Nasty Nancy's armed thugs murdered two unarmed women, apparently for the "capital crime" of tresspassing.

" the psychoanalysis of large group regression" IE: large numbers of people who reject "Progress", and the Progressive agenda. Yet another word in common usage by academics and politicians, as well as "Social Scientists" for which there is no actual definition. Basically "Progress" is the process of "Scientific Socialism" being foisted upon a people...and/or the World. with no firm end point, nor even mid points, a nebulous "Shining Path to a Brilliant Utopia" without ever being described, quantified, given any basis for objective measure.

Overeducated idiots are some of the worst kind. It usually means that they started out in life exceptionally stupid since they needed to spend that much time in a classroom. Those little extra letters after their names do not fool anybody.

Actually, it appears that "stochastic terrorism" is exactly the correct word to be used by people who consider January 6 a siege. I looked up the word stochastic: Of, relating to, or characterized by conjecture; conjectural. Then I looked up the word conjecture: 1)the formation or expression of an opinion or theory without sufficient evidence for proof. 2)an opinion or theory so formed or expressed; guess; speculation. Note that both definitions of conjecture indicate that it is a belief which is not based on evidence. Sort of how the entire left works.

Methinks he is referring to the OverSchooled...that still are under educated. Merely parroting nonsense they consider 'smart' because people considered by others smart have prattled it...using $20 words, when a dime would do. Counting on the hoi polloi to not know actual definitions, or being to tame to demand they explain.

I just saw the video of the 'insurrection' where Pelosi and Schumer are huddled together watching the 'insurrection' on a tablet or something and Pelosi is whispering in fear. Then they show a bunch of people on the capitol steps rushing up. Only thing is it's broad daylight. The insurrection supposedly happened at night. I watched the whole thing from start to Trump telling everyone to be safe and go home. This video is H'wood produced. Just when you think these people can't sink any lower, they do.

If you want to stop a lefty in its tracks when they accuse you of "stochastic terrorism," ask them to define "stochastic."

I really admired President Trump as a President, but he did make mistakes in his short tenure as our leader. President elect Donald Trump the businessman entered Washington DC with his family believing it was a place with 'some' decent persons there, wrong. Very few people were kind to him and his family the President trusted too much. Dr. Fauci was one he should have never trusted. If Donald Trump runs again and wins, I believe he will approach Washington with a different outlook I hope vindictive. President Trumps second biggest mistake was announcing a rally walking distance to the Capital giving his enemies, Pelosi, the FBI, capital police time to plan a trap. President Trump should have had the rally outside of Washington which would have been safer for him and everyone. If people wanted to go to the capital, they would have to drive there. J6 will forever be some sort of battle cry for the left when it was really nothing except someone was murdered there.

Two more people have pleaded guilty in the narcissistic soap opera that is January 6, this time a Utah father and his son. Salt Lake City’s Fox affiliate, KSTU is reporting that Eagle Mountain, Utah, resident Bradley Bokoski and his son, Matthew R. Bokoski, of Chicago, both pled guilty to the misdemeanor of, and I quote: “parading, demonstrating or picketing on the Capitol grounds.” Sentencing is set for January 17. Parading? Is that really a thing? Are the navel-gazers in the Rotunda so hard up for convictions that they are tapping people for the misdemeanor of “parading?”

No other issue has hurt John Fetterman’s U.S. Senate candidacy more than crime. In recent weeks, Dr. Mehmet Oz has closed the gap in polling largely because of this issue — which, frankly, is hurting Democrats nationwide. Fetterman has tried to run from his soft-on-crime record and policies, but did you know what issue, of all issues, he said was his top priority? Last year during an interview, Fetterman was asked “If you had a magic wand and you could wave it and fix one thing, what would it be?” “Life without parole in Pennsylvania,” he said. Adding insult to injury, he argued that doing so would save lives!

Ulta may be regretting whatever marketing “genius” came up with this idea. In a recent post on Twitter, Ulta highlighted a podcast with two grown men in makeup and wigs chatting about what it’s like to be a “girl.” The makeup giant’s target audience is obviously women. It’s probably a safe bet that over 90% of Ulta’s customers are women. The choice to put men in drag in the marketing material for a company geared toward women is backfiring big time. #Womanface and #BoycottUlta are trending on Twitter, and the ratio of angry women telling Ulta they’re taking their business elsewhere is off the charts. It got so bad that Ulta

Big Non-Binary Brother is watching. Respecting The Science©, as we are trained to do, obviously requires that we place LGBTQ+++© Gestapo in every doctor’s office in America. Their job is to make sure bigoted doctors don’t slip up and practice medicine based on biological reality, because biology is transphobic, as is reality. Vanderbilt’s Pediatric Transgender Clinic practices The Science© by providing “evidence-based, personalized gender-affirming care for transgender and gender-diverse children and adolescents” — a fancy, rambling way to say “transing children.” And now it’s upped its game by inserting “Trans Buddies” into the doctor’s office.

We’re up to our elbows in weird Biden moments. I wrote earlier about Biden’s comments about gas prices in Los Angeles weirdly having something to do with housing. Then he claimed gas had always been around $7.00 there when indeed it’s up since last week and it’s more than three dollars more on average than it was under President Donald Trump. He also seemed to verbally threaten Saudi Arabia saying he had some things to say to them while refusing to say what those things were. You would think that he’d be going to battleground

Politics is fun, isn’t it? You can play with the truth all you want, and, as long as you’re a member of the right party, you can throw all the crap you want against a wall just to see what sticks. And no one of any significance will say a word. Of course, that’s only true if you’re a Democrat. That’s why when Joe Biden deadpanned that prices would rise if Republicans were elected, no one laughed — out loud, at least. “Here’s the bottom line. So please hear this. When it actually comes time to do something about inflation around the table, Republicans in Congress are saying ‘no,'”

Paul Ryan, the losing vice presidential candidate on the Republican Party’s all-RINO 2012 ticket, says that Donald Trump, the only Republican candidate to win the presidency between 2004 and 2020, cannot win in 2024. Ryan, of course, really hopes that Trump will not regain the presidency, for that would mean the definitive end of the controlled-opposition establishment wing of the Republican Party, in which Ryan was once a central figure. But Ryan on Thursday went beyond expressing the hope that Trump would lose to stating confidently that he would. According to the New York Post, the failed candidate, who also served as a singularly colorless and ineffective speaker of the House

GOP momentum is happening nationwide — and with mere weeks before the midterm elections, it might just help a few more Republicans win races that were previously believed to be unwinnable. Republican Christine Drazan has been leading in the three-way gubernatorial race in Oregon for some time now, and now it’s looking increasingly possible that Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.) has a chance to defeat incumbent Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul. In fact, RealClearPolitics, recognizing that Zeldin is closing the gap in recent polling, has upgraded the New York gubernatorial race to a “Toss-up” from “Likely Democratic.” “Our race was just moved to TOSS UP by RealClearNews!” Zeldin tweeted on Saturday.

Republicans across the country have made protecting girls' sports from biological male transgender athletes a campaign message as they seek to retake control of Congress next month, with at least one gubernatorial candidate highlighting the issue in recent campaign ad. The issue of biological males who identify as females competing against women in women's sports has garnered national attention and resulted in a feud among the two political parties in America, and one group believes the issue may help turnout for Republicans in the November 8 election. "Americans understand that female athletes have had their scholarships, their trophies and their dignity stolen by males competing in their sport

If we tried to highlight every bizarre or delusional thing Joe Biden says, we wouldn’t have time for anything else. But who can resist occasionally mocking Slow Joe? Yesterday Biden was in Los Angeles and risked going out in public. The New York Post reports: “The inflation report is out. Have you seen gas prices around here in LA? It’s 7 bucks a gallon almost,” a reporter said after Biden handed a cashier three $20 bills for a $16.45 order of six tacos and two quesadillas. “Well, that’s always been the case here,” Biden replied. “Always” meaning since I, Slow Joe, became president. That line, while false, at least was coherent.
