Update From Finland: Good News!

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Paivi Rasanen: Finnish MP in Bible hate speech trial - BBC News

Paivi Rasanen

A Finnish court has thrown out all “hate speech” charges against Parliament member Paivi Rasanen and Bishop Juhana Pohjola (https://www.wnd.com/2022/03/verdict-lawmaker-accused-crime-sharing-bible-verse/).

Their “hate” consisted of citing Bible verses on marriage and sexuality–in a pamphlet written 18 (!) years ago, a 2019 talk radio broadcast (What kind of “talk radio” do you have if the guest isn’t allowed to say what she thinks?), and some social media posts.

See “The New Iron Curtain” (https://leeduigon.com/2022/02/17/the-new-iron-curtain/).

The court dismissed all charges. Had the prosecution had its way, the defendants could have had two-year prison (!) sentences, plus fines. And this in a country that calls itself “free.”

But do we have to say “May I?” from now on, whenever we wish to quote a Bible verse?

Remember Peter and John, and how they answered when the Temple authorities forbade them to preach Jesus: “We ought to obey God rather than men” (Acts 5:29). God’s authority is greater than any worldly court’s or government’s.

We rejoice that there are still Christians in Finland who know that.

 

So Where’s Hunter Biden’s Laptop?

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Has your computer slowed down over time? Here's why, and how to fix it

A now infamous laptop owned by Hunter Biden, the, uh, “president’s” son, featuring a veritable circus of corruption–plus lewd photos of Hunter enjoying himself in various unwholesome ways–seems to have gone missing while in FBI custody (https://nypost.com/2022/03/29/gaetz-tries-to-get-hunter-biden-laptop-into-congressional-record/). The laptop was seized by the FBI in 2019 but now the agency’s cyber-chief says he doesn’t know where it is.

As Long John Silver used to say, “Now ain’t that too bad!” Well, heck, we can’t investigate it if we don’t have it, can we?

Congressman Matt Gaetz, however, has read the contents of the laptop into the Congressional Record–which means they’ll have to do something about it. What, who knows? Think the Biden administration will investigate itself?

Copies, copies–you know they’ll argue that the copies can’t be used as evidence because copies can be tampered with. The record of the chain of custody is currently incomplete. (See what you can learn, watching Quincy reruns?)

I can’t decide what’s driving this–bold, in-your-face, criminal arrogance… or outright desperation. The FBI is not supposed to lose evidence. Do they really think we’ll let it go at that? Especially after the 2020 presidential election, in which Big Tech and our so-called “news” media, allied to the Democrats, ruthlessly suppressed all news of Hunter’s laptop? Think that news might have cost them votes?

This is about corrupt politicians and dirty money, big-time. And remember, corrupt dealings involving Ukraine, Russia, and the Biden family all feature in the saga.

Do they get away with it, or what?

Pray for justice. I think it’ll have to come from God.

‘Yale’ Rhymes With ‘Jail’

“Higher education been very, very good to me!”

Gee, why is our college tuition so high?

A former Yale medical school administrator has pleaded guilty to embezzling some $40 million from the university in a “fraudulent electronics purchasing scheme” (https://www.zerohedge.com/personal-finance/former-yale-administrator-pleads-guilty-embezzling-40-million-massive-fraud). She used the money to buy three real estate properties and a fleet of high-end luxury cars.

She could go to jail for 30 years.

Sheesh! No wonder it costs so much to get a degree in Queer Fat Studies.

Our major universities are money pits; and we are not convinced that all of their expenditures are honest.

Costs (https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=yale+annual+tuition): $57,700 in annual tuition, plus another $17,250 in assorted expenses (meals, fees, etc.)… Well, that’s $74,950 a year. If you put in four years, that’s just a shade under $300,000. But who just stays for four years anymore?

We don’t have the best education system in world history, but we surely have the costliest.

Honk if you think it’s worth it.

‘Talking to Statues’ (2017)

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

At least once a year we hear another batch of reports of NOAA and other government agencies, along with their allied “scientists,” getting caught fudging the figures on “Climate Change” or “Global Warming.” But no matter how often they get caught lying, you can’t get people to stop trusting Big Brother.

Talking to Statues

You might as well be talking to statues.

These last few days of March have been brutally cold, up here in Jersey–I mean January-type cold, temps in the teens. And the other day there was a terrible pileup on Route I-81 in Pennsylvania: people killed, dozens of cars and trucks wrecked–all because of snow, ice, and fog. Hardly March 27 weather at all!

Yeahbut, yeahbut! They’re experts, man!

Trust them at your peril. They are not honest.

 

Another Trip to the Vet’s

I have to take Robbie in this morning so they can check how her incision is healing, do blood work, etc. It doesn’t make me happy, going back there.

Good thing I already wrote Newswithviews yesterday. I won’t feel much like writing by the time I get back. Robbie hates going to the doctor, but I think for once I’ll be even more uncomfortable than she is.

Yeah, I’ve got nooze to write today. Would you believe the FBI says oops, sorry, they’ve “lost” Hunter Biden’s laptop? Looks like they can’t investigate it, after all. And a “teacher” is bellyaching that now they won’t let him tell his kindergarten class about his (ahem!) “love life.” Once upon a time those children’s parents would have run him out of town.

Let’s try to wolf down some breakfast before we go, shall we?

The Progressive Death-Cult

“Welcome to Oregon!”

The Deluded People’s Republic of Oregon (how in the world did it ever come to this?) has decided to do away with residency requirements for assisted suicide (https://www.theblaze.com/news/oregon-residency-requirement-medically-assisted-suicide). So if you want to off yourself, you will no longer have to be a resident of this addled state.

Not being able to kill yourself in Oregon unless you live in Oregon was “profoundly unfair to dying patients,” said a top medical authority. Well, heck, the bigger your practice, the bigger your swimming pool.

A critic warned that scrubbing the residency requirement would turn Oregon into “the assisted suicide tourism capital.” I can see the full-color brochure now: VISIT OREGON… AND DIE!

You can’t spend much time with libs, in print or in person, without running into some kind of commercial for assisted suicide. Leftism is a death-cult; its sacraments are abortion, “gay marriage,” transgender, and assisted suicide.

God’s wisdom, personified, warned us, “All they that hate me love death” (Proverbs 8: 36).

Go ahead–try to tell us why that ain’t so. I triple-dog dare you.

School Board Meeting Erupts in Violence

You can always go to the school board meeting if the wrestling’s sold out.

All those school board meetings I had to cover as a reporter, and nothing like this ever happened…

During a public meeting of the Flint, Michigan, Board of Education–a finance committee meeting at the administration building–the board president attacked the treasurer, grabbing her hair and slamming her head on the table (https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/03/blood-bruises-flint-school-board-president-fired-choking-punching-treasurer-gets-control-150-million-covid-aid/). Killer Kowalski could’ve hardly done it better.

The board held a special meeting that night to expel the president. The incident was “not one of my highlights,” she admitted.

Why did the president attack the treasurer? The issue seems to be $150 million in state and federal “COVID aid,” and who on the board gets to control the money. Well, it’s a lot of money: I guess it stirred some passions.

But how does the Flint school district rate $150 million in aid? It’s only one of thousands of school districts. Are they all getting this kind of money?

As our government goes about plundering the public, thieves will occasionally fight over the division of the spoils. It sounds like that’s what happened here.

Trump Sues Hillary

Trump officially launches LyingCrookedHillary.com | TheHill

Of course political candidates tell lies about their rivals; who ever said they didn’t?

But the lies told by Hillary Clinton about Donald Trump, in the 2016 presidential election and for years afterward, went well beyond that; and now President Trump has gotten around to suing her and her henchmen (https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/all-things-trump/trump-sued-hillary-clinton-democrats-over-russia-collusion). He’s suing for at least some $25 million in legal fees, and a lot more in damages.

Getting this story wasn’t easy. A simple search request lands you into that swamp of fake nooze inhabited by CNN, NPR, the Washington Post, et al–complete with flagrant editorializing (“Trump’s baseless allegations,” etc., etc.). Is this what they learn in journalism school, these days? I finally found a story I could use, on John Solomon’s “Just the News” site.

Clinton’s campaign, with help from sympathizers in the government itself, tried to wreck Trump’s campaign, spied on him during and after the election, cooked up false reports about him, lied to the FISA court, and wasted a dismal amount of America’s time with their “Russian collusion” hoax.

Please! The very idea that Russia would lift a finger to stop Hillary Clinton from being elected president–it’s preposterous. Ya mean Putin wouldn’t want to deal with the most corrupt, bribable woman in the Northern Hemisphere? Anything he wanted from America he could have–in return for another tax-free donation to the Clinton Foundation.

God only knows how many hundreds of D.C. small fry were sucked into this web of Clinton criminality. But that’s the Swamp. It’s dirty and it’s deep.

German Cops Will Smash Anyone Who ‘Hates’ Politicians

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Achtung! Germany is still part of the Free World! And anyone who says different will be shot!

Well, okay–not shot. Just raided by the Polizei and packed off to jail (https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/03/germany-conducts-mass-raids-online-insults-elected-officials/). Can you say “Thank God for the Second Amendment”?

In Germany it’s now against the law to “insult” politicians online; they call it “criminal content.” You’ll also get your door bashed in for “questioning” the results of Germany’s 2021 elections. (That slopping noise you hear in the background is American Democrats licking their lips in envy.) So wise up, everybody–no more “hate postings aimed specifically at politicians.”

One wonders if they’ve really changed so much since 1939.

I guess if I were in Deutschland now, I’d be in a heap o’ trouble for calling Whatsisname “SloJo.” Ooh! And all those nasty things I’ve said about other wastes of space who prey on us and call it government.

Just kidding, boss! You ol’ schweinhundt, you!

She Doesn’t Know What a Woman Is

I'm koo koo for cocoa puffs - Drawception

(Thanks to Susan for the nooze tip)

Hey! Let’s have our country governed by babbling idiots! Like this:

Ketanji Jackson, SloJo’s Supreme Court nominee, was asked by Senator Marsha Blackburn the other day, “Can you provide a definition for the word ‘woman’?” And here’s the rest of it (https://www.dennyburk.com/do-you-know-what-a-woman-is-ketanji-brown-jackson-doesnt/).

KJ: “Can I provide a definition? No.”

MB: “Yes.”

KJ: “I can’t.”

MB: “You can’t?”

KJ: “Not in this context. I’m not a biologist.”  ***

Can you believe this? They’re gonna put this nincompoop on the Supreme Court. Could we at least have somebody who knows what a woman is?

Think back a little ways to the Harry Reid Era in the Senate. What did Democrats do whenever President Bush tried to appoint a judge? [Cue Jeopardy theme] Uh… Like, they just said No! They blocked a passel of George Bush judges. Stopped ’em cold–and mostly never even tried to plead their reason for rejecting them was anything but naked politics.

Is this some kind of rocket science that eludes a Republican’s understanding? Just say No! Every time SloJo tries to appoint a high court judge, just say No.

Even a Republican ought to be able to manage that.
