Trust
Posted By: Hazymac, 5/14/2023 6:04:19 PM
Among the most basic factors in what we may call the “practice of daily life” is one that is most easily forgotten or commonly neglected: trust. I mean, to begin with, trust in what we habitually regard as reliable without giving it a moment’s thought, as something we rarely doubt, let alone conceptualize. We seem to have little idea of the degree to which trust determines our every move, gesture and act. Trust, as James Bowman observes of honor in Honor: A History, is “reflexive” and at its core “inseparable from the human condition.” Trust is instinctive in every moment of human existence.

Happy Monday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. Alonso always knew that his wry wit would save him from cheap vodka ennui.
Kinda/Sorta President Joe Biden and his Democrat hordes are forever portraying themselves as the champions of racial justice. In reality, they’re all hiding Klan hoods in their back pockets.
President LOLEightyonemillion spoke to a black audience this past weekend and did his level leftist best to pretend that he was down with the struggle. Rick covered it for us:
Biden gave the commencement address to the historically black college of Howard University on Saturday and turned on the pander up to “10” in his bid to win over his audience.
Biden discussed racism

If you’ve ever followed the efforts to expose the Church of Scientology for the abusive cult that it is, you know how the church inserts itself into any legal proceeding regarding one of its celebrity members, even if the case doesn’t directly involve Scientology.
It has come to light that Scientology attorneys got their hands on criminal discovery material in the rape trial of Scientologist and former sitcom star Danny Masterson. Masterson, who starred on That ’70s Show, faces accusations of raping three women in the early 2000s.
“Deputy District Attorney Reinhold Mueller told the trial judge on Wednesday that a tranche of criminal
I believe a that a society can only be as compassionate as long as it can spend other people’s money. When you start spending your own money, it’s funny how cruel and selfish people can get.
And an industrialized society can only be as green as it can afford to be without destroying itself. Save the trees — as long as you can still build my hardwood floors.
These are very simple rules that great big grown-up countries should live by. Immature nations ignore those rules and end up circling the drain. Fortunately, there are just enough leaders in the United States like Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller
Happy Friday, everyone. Once again, it was an up-and-down news week. No sooner had Trump finished playing hacky-sack with the heads of the CNN staff than Title 42 ran out and the inaugural Arizona Illegal Alien 5K was held. Everyone was a winner, except the American people.
Now that we can finally go outside for an extended period of time without getting hit with rain or snow, it is barbecue season in my part of the country. Admittedly, for me, every season is barbecue season. I’ve grilled in the spring, summer, and fall, and have even been known to shovel the patio in January so I could have a place
Busted Border: Biden Administration Caught

Coordinating Illegal Crossings with Mexican Government 13 replies
The good news is that our southern border isn’t actually wide-open everywhere, like you right-wing whackos keep saying. The bad news is that record numbers of illegal immigrants are crossing the Rio Grande at Matamoros in a carefully orchestrated effort between the Biden Administration and the government of Mexico.
I guess I’m one of those right-wing whackos — and if not, I certainly became one after finding this report for you.
The Center for Immigration Studies reported a real shocker on Thursday concerning a strange sight on the Mexican side of the border at Matamoros, across from Brownsville, Texas. There, “large crowds” of immigrants could be seen,
LAKELAND, Fla. - Polk County investigators identified the 13-year-old who fired a round at a Lakeland officer, striking him in the foot. Other officers shoot at the teen, sending him to the hospital.
During a press conference Thursday, Sheriff Grady Judd also named a 14-year-old and 19-year-old Jermaine Julian, saying they were with the youngest suspect, 13-year-old Wesley Dalmas, and tried to flee from police. Investigators said Julian is in a gang, while the Dalmas and Speight are "gang affiliated."
The sheriff firmly pointed out that age doesn't matter in the scenario that played out in Lakeland on Wednesday evening.
"I don’t care that chronologically they are 14, 13, or 19.
You are the carbon footprint they want to reduce.
Last week, Jocelyn Timperley penned an article for the BBC, and began by posing this question:
But what do truly low-carbon lifestyles look like – and can they really be achieved by personal choice alone?
Timperley’s piece paid special attention to two climate cultists, Carys Mainprize and Rosalind Readhead, and their ambitious experiments to go “ultra-low carbon”. The verdict? Impossible; something’s gotta give. Care to take a wager what that could possibly be?
If you guessed life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and property, you’d be correct.

Is Any 'One Culture Superior to Others'?
25 replies
Recently, while apologizing to "indigenous peoples" and denouncing Christians — without the all-important historical context — Pope Francis declared, "Never again can the Christian community allow itself to be infected by the idea that one culture is superior to others[.]"
This — claiming all cultures are equal — is a dangerous position, not least as it leads to relativism and the abnegation of Truth.
For most Western people today, the word culture conjures at best superficial differences — "exotic" dress or food. In reality, however, cultures are nothing less than entire and distinct worldviews with their own unique sets of right and wrongs, often rooted in a
Happy Tuesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. (Snip) It’s always difficult to anticipate what new trickery the Democrats might concoct to sway any given election. They’re devious, after all, and it’s nigh on impossible for non-devious types to get in their heads.
Another thing that’s important to ponder is which parts of their established playbook they might trot out. It’s a thick playbook, to be sure, and there’s a good chance that they’ll be throwing the whole thing at the GOP to keep President LOLEightyonemillion around well past his expiration date. The cabal running Biden’s brain is at this moment prepping for whichever nominee the Republicans eventually throw at them.
Joe Biden is apparently suffering from delusions of grandeur. Despite his disastrous presidency, which has given us historic inflation, record high gas prices, a border crisis, a supply chain crisis, and countless Kamala Harris interviews, he fancies himself to be one of the most qualified presidential candidates in American history.
During an MSNBC interview, Biden was asked why, at 82 years old, he is the right fit for “the most important job in the world.”
It’s a surprising question to hear from someone from MSNBC, but it was not as surprising as Biden’s response was ridiculous.
“Because I have acquired a hell of a lot of wisdom.
Tara Reade, who says President Joe Biden sexually assaulted her in the 1990s when she worked in his U.S. Senate office, posted a cryptic message about what should happen if she dies.
"I want to make something clear. If something happens to me, all roads lead to Joe Biden," Reade tweeted Sunday. "Joe Biden and DNC political machine threats, bullying and intimidation over the last three years will not work.
She also said that she is not suicidal, nor a foreign agent and she only decided to tell the truth and testify under oath in Congress about her experience working for Biden.
The president has denied allegations of the assault

Special Counsel John Durham found that the FBI did not have enough 'factual evidence' to investigate allegations of Trump-Russia collusion, in scathing report obtained by DailyMail.com Monday.
Durham's report is a summary of findings related to whether the then-Trump campaign in 2016 colluded with Russia to meddle with the election outcome.
The special counsel transmitted the report on his four-years-long investigation costing over $6 million in taxpayer dollars, to top members of Congress including Senate Judiciary Chairman Dick Durbin and Ranking Member Lindsey Graham, House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan and Ranking Member Jerry Nadler.
Major automakers are removing AM radios from their new models in a move that heralds the end of an era, sparking outrage from listeners, station owners, and politicians alike who lament the potential loss of an iconic part of American culture and criticize the move as “tone deaf.” Mark Levin commented on the change, saying: “The automobile is essential to liberty. It’s freedom. So the control of the automobile is about the control of your freedom. They finally figured out how to attack conservative talk radio.”
The Washington Post reports that in a move that marks the end of an era, major automakers are disconnecting AM radios from their new models.

California's reparations task force is calling for the state legislature to require all cities and counties with allegedly segregated neighborhoods to submit all their real estate ordinances to a state agency for approval based on whether they maintain or lessen "residential racial segregation." (snip) The recommendations include several proposals meant to address "housing segregation" and "unjust property takings" that contributed to alleged systemic racism against Black Californians. Among the most controversial of the housing proposals is one that would seemingly hand over control of local land use decisions to a state agency that would approve ordinances based on whether they maintain or decrease segregation.
Connecticut Democrat Senator Chris Murphy took a hard left turn into insurrectionism on Sunday. Speaking on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Murphy declared that if the Supreme Court continued to recognize the Second Amendment as a fundamental Constitutional right, then, you know, there might be a “popular revolt.”According to Murphy, the Supreme Court is illegitimate, district court judges enforcing Supreme Court decisions are just awful people, and unless the Supreme Court backs off and lets fascists at all levels of government do their thing, some bad sh** might happen.

Residents of California have been leaving the state in droves over the last few years due to radical policies and high prices governing the state. Many former residents have been settling in more politically red states, such as Florida and Texas, which have seen immense population growth. California is the home of Hollywood, the center of the film industry. Actor Dennis Quaid explained to "Jesse Watters Primetime" why there is a push from actors to move the film industry out of California to Texas. "We want to make Texas the film capital of the world. That's what Texas used to
One day, America’s black citizens will realize that Democrats always make promises they will not or cannot fulfill. The latest example is the reparations folly currently playing out in California. Black Californians are beginning to realize they were watching Kabuki reparations theater.
In September 2020, right before the big election, the California legislature enacted Assembly Bill 3121, setting up a “Task Force to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans” (snip) Despite the task force only being advisory, blacks really believed that its recommendations would send money their way. (snip) Gavin Newsom announced that there would be no reparations money for any blacks.
At least six more Big Apple schools are set to start temporarily housing migrants in their gyms, prompting all hell to break loose Monday among parents frantic over safety and potential learning disruptions.
“To bus people to our school and expect the community to absorb them is just insane,” fumed Virginia Vu, a PTA member and parent at Brooklyn’s MS 577 in Williamsburg — adding some parents have already threatened to at least temporarily pull their kids out of the sixth-through-eighth grade school.
“We care about asylum-seekers, and we’re proud our city is a ‘sanctuary city’ — but housing asylum seekers on school grounds is absolutely unacceptable,” she said.
President Joe Biden cheered a drop in border crossings since the end of Title 42 with a swipe at the media – as new strains in the government's capacity to administer the surge of migrants is just beginning to come into view.
Asked how things were proceeding after the expiration of Title 42 authority, which ended at midnight, Biden told a group of reporters: 'Much better than you all expected,' with a chuckle.
He also spoke about the reduced number of crossings, which are down about 50 per cent, as migrants – and smugglers who
Florida’s governor has just cut ties with a political action committee (PAC) bearing his name. Many Floridians see this as an indication that he’s preparing to abandon Florida for a presidential run.
(anip) DeSantis severed ties with “Friends of Ron DeSantis,” a major state-level PAC “committed to advancing” the governor’s “Freedom Agenda and keeping Florida free.” (snip), the new “associated person,” is Florida State Senator Blaise Ingoglia.”
(snip) state law (pdf) prohibits the use of money raised by a state-level PAC for a race at the federal level.

“He just wanted to make sure the revision on Resign-to-Run came through,”
At least five whistleblowers have come forward to allege wrongdoing by the Biden family in connection with business schemes and corresponding coverups.
The whistleblowers are in addition to the multitude of witnesses that Republican members of Congress have interviewed behind closed doors.
For some reason, Illinois’ Democrat Gov. J.B. Pritzker – much like his California counterpart Gavin Newsom – thinks taking periodic swipes at Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is a good idea.Unfortunately for both of them, DeSantis is usually able to knock them down with without breaking a sweat, exposing their two-faced nature in the process.
That is exactly how things played out last Thursday and Friday after an obviously triggered Pritzker issued a buzzword-filled statement denouncing DeSantis’ upcoming visit to his state ahead of an anticipated 2024 presidential announcement.
“Ron DeSantis swears that he is fighting to protect people’s ‘freedoms,’ but he has no problem taking away their reproductive rights,
Conservative teenagers are, in general, significantly happier than their liberal peers, according to a study conducted by Columbia University.
"The politics of depression: Diverging trends in internalizing symptoms among US adolescents by political beliefs," was published in the journal Social Science & Medicine – Mental Health in December and while its findings were striking, the reason behind the trend is unclear.
Epidemiologist Catherine Gimbrone and her coauthors compared depressive attitudes of 12th-graders from 2005 to 2018 between those aligned with conservatism, which was defined in the study as "support of individual liberty, right-wing social and religious values, and unregulated free markets" and liberalism, which was defined as "support of equal
