Spite Houses Are Buildings Designed to Annoy the Neighbors

Posted on by johnbarleycorn12

Neighbors. Can’t live with ’em, can’t build a giant statue of a middle finger to spite ’em. Scratch that — it’s been done, along with the construction of even larger and more outlandish memorials to the grudges people hold against each other. “Spite houses” can be found all over the world, each a testament to the determination and pettiness of the human spirit. These are the spite houses that might be in your neck of the woods.

Is It Better to Vent Your Anger or Keep It Inside?

Posted on by johnbarleycorn12

Venting — whether it’s to a co-worker about your boss’s obnoxious request, to a friend about your boyfriend’s infuriating blunder, or to your brother about your mom’s invasive phone call — can seem like a good idea in the moment. Let it all out, and you’ll let it all go, right? Not so much. Studies show that venting doesn’t release anger; it just exacerbates it.

It’s the Birthrates – Taki’s Magazine – Taki’s Magazine

Now, with Brenton Tarrant’s alleged death toll at one body higher than Mateen’s, and with Tarrant explicitly proclaiming that he did it to curb Muslim population growth and to frighten them all the way back to their ancestral homelands, you can bet your every last worthless Federal Reserve Note that for the next year at least, we will continue to be forcibly spoon-fed the notion that white-male terrorism is the big threat and that any time white males even notice that the reigning cultural climate is hostile toward white males, blood will inevitably be spilled, because white males are violent monsters and there’s absolutely nothing racist about that statement.

First, I blame the shooter. Secondly I blame the globalists and open border policies, thirdly I blame cowardly politicians and media corporations who promote identity politics and guilt transference. When you shut down free speech and open debate, violence happens on both sides. This is where we are, and it is a sad state of affairs.

Lastly I look at who benefits from things like this and the only apparent winner is the gun control crowd in New Zealand 🇳🇿. They even noted that there will be no debate about the new restrictions. Did they allow this to happen to get their agenda passed, or were they just incompetent to not notice this crackpot amassing weaponry and spewing hatred? You decide.

Our Newly Elected Democratic Socialists

It is time to prove you are the real thing. Instead of pushing the new green deal, push the new real deal. The real deal would be removing the exemptions for themselves and federal employees of laws and mandates Congress passes.

We could start with Obamacare, retirement, double dipping, pensions, student debt, liable and slander exemptions, term limits, sex crimes in the open, and no more automatic pay raises.

What is fair for one is fair for all. If you don’t believe that and practice it, you are not a true Socialist, just another self serving politician. I rest my case.

Britain – Hard Exit or Cancellation of BREXIT | Armstrong Economics

Posted on by johnbarleycorn12

After months of political deadlock, the House of Commons voted by 413-202 last week to ask the EU to delay Britain’s exit. Prime Minister May has simply refused to listen to advice and keeps hoping that Parliament will surrender to her. Normally, after such a defeat, Prime Ministers would resign. But May withstood a no-confidence vote last year and cannot be challenged until December 2019. If the EU tries to force Britain to surrender, then there remains the risk of a hard-exit come March 29th, 2019. The EU is fighting for its survival. To see Britain crumble would bring them great joy and they could use this against Italy or anyone one else who dares to think about leaving. Indeed, in recent days there has been a chorus of warnings coming from the key EU figures. They are kicking Britain when it is politically impotent and they are demanding that any British request for an extension of the two-year negotiating period must come with a “credible” plan for next steps. This appears to be deliberately trying to force Britain to capitulate and remains in the EU as a second rate member at best. The European Council president, Donald Tusk, has said the EU wants a “reasoned” request for an extension, while Guy Verhofstadt, the European Parliament Brexit co-ordinator, said there must be a “clear opinion” from the House of Commons on what it really will accept. The vote in itself won’t prevent Britain from a hard exit. Actually, under the law, Britain will leave the EU on March 29th, with or without a deal. What the Eu is now gambling on is that Britain will be unable to come up with any plan that they would accept so they hope the stark choice between a hard-exit and an outright cancelation of Brexit altogether will mean the EU wins with the latter.
