You know, in the 90s when I heard that a movie had a lesbian scene in it, I was definitely going to see that movie. Today, if someone tells me that a movie has a lesbian scene in it, I am definitely going to avoid that movie. If they can ruin that, they can ruin anything.

The Argument Makes Sense- But I Don't Know Enough to Evaluate It

The Argument Makes Sense- But I Don’t Know Enough to Evaluate It

I saw a link (on Instapundit) to an article that explains the damages that occurred to the Nordstream gas pipelines. The article begins with a photo from  the 1994 edition of CAPP Guidelines for the Prevention and Safe Handling of Hydrates, Canadian Assn. of Petroleum Producers. Now I have a little experience with pipelines – none so long as Nordstream, and only running water, and generally…

No, if you grew up in the 3rd world you know the US is not going to collapse. It's going to decay. It is decaying. Things that used to work will still work, sort of, some of the time. Rolling blackouts. Important drugs unavailable. Crime with no police response. Political courts. Rigged elections. Shabby infrastructure. This is just how lawless countries operate, rolling on year after year, settling into an equilibrium of disfunction and graft. If you've lived it elsewhere, you see it here now.

As we sit and wait for the coalition negotiations to end, allow me to raise a warning. If the ÖVP wants to enjoy even greater levels of #victory and support, it cannot go back into a red/black coalition. If they do by next elections they would hope to reach 25%. Sure it will be the easiest option, but it will cost the #ÖVP in the long run and even the short run (in the European election as a first clue). The Austrian public had overwhelmingly voted for a more #conservative approach for governance. With the FPÖ’s continued “voter snatching” from the ÖVP. There are many reasons for that, from coalition work, ÖVP reorganisation as well as their ability to capture popular demand for even more conservative action than the conservatives themselves. But they have an Achilles heel , they talk big, yet they never showed it up with actions. More than that they would finally have to “grow up” as they try to hold their portion of the helm of governance. A lack of their ability to show actual victories could burst the popular right’s bubble in Austria for years to come. And even if they prove they are up for the challenge it is easier for the ÖVP to gain much of that credit for themselves as the majority driving force in the coalition. Or as the saying goes “a win win situation”. Yes, let them have the interior ministry or expand a new government office for immigration and let them have that, more chances for them to fail and more political pickings for the ÖVP. Allow me to suggest a black/blue government. Not only as a fulfilment of the wish of the Austrian voter, but as a political tool for the ÖVP to secure their position for years to come and allow #Austria to take a brave new conservative step forward. 🇦🇹🇪🇺 #instapundit #europundit #instapolitics #diplogram #EsistZeit
