Two Minutes Hate 1984

What is the Two Minutes Hate in 1984, and what is its purpose in the story?

The Two Minutes Hate in 1984 is a daily ritual in which Party Members express their hatred for enemies of the Party. It is important as a plot device in the book, since it provides a point of contact for Winston, Julia, and O’Brien. It is also important in showing how the Party compels orthodoxy and cohesiveness among its members.

Biden gave us 20 minutes of hate.

“What we saw was the panic and flop sweat of every Washington power player inside the Beltway”

Biden’s Lunatic ‘MAGA Republicans’ Ranting Is Gonna Backfire

“…What we saw was the panic and flop sweat of every Washington power player inside the Beltway.

The Democrats have no bearings at all because of their pathological obsession with Trump. It’s pushing them into a string of unforced errors. Last night was one of them. Here was my gut feeling not long after the speech:

I sincerely hope that they keep sticking this unhinged idiot who’s masquerading as the leader of the free world in front of microphones, barking “MAGA Republicans!” like the trained seal that he is. He’s energizing a base, all right.

Just not the one he thinks he is…”

Joe Biden: Lout, Liar, and Lunatic

I & I Editorial Board:

“…Joe Biden promised that if elected president he would unite the country, did he think he could do it alienating roughly half the population? Or did he mean he would unite the Democrats and independents against the “MAGA Republicans”? Thursday’s speech clearly indicates what he had in mind was the latter.

Last week, Biden smeared Donald Trump supporters, calling them semi-fascists who practice “burn-it-all-down politics” and face “​​backwards full of anger, violence, hate and division.”

One of the most appropriate and fitting responses we saw to this was Libby Emmons’ Biden Is The Semi-Fascist He’s Looking For in Human Events.

Biden followed up his “semi-fascist” rant with Thursday’s prime-time “soul of a nation” speech, in which he spoke of the 74.2 million who voted for Donald Trump in 2020 as white supremacists, extremists, rearward-looking deplorables, and wild-haired bogeymen who pose an existential threat to the country.

Which shows he’s a liar. Less than a week after the 2020 election, Biden swore before the country he would “​be a president who seeks not to divide, but to unify; who doesn’t see red states and blue states, only sees the United States.”

Sure, he said Thursday that not every Republican is a “MAGA Republican.” But his handlers were not going to let him make the mistake that New York Gov. Kathy Hochul did when she told that state’s Republicans they needed to leave and go to Florida. He needed to show some restraint in what amounted to a campaign speech.

Biden is also a lunatic. To have listened to him since he took office, it’s hard to conclude that he’s not trying to provoke a cold if not hot civil war, or at least a major political conflagration. He did tone things down a bit Thursday from his previous fever speech, but that was likely in part to make room for all the meaningless bromides he spouted as if they were the most unique and profound words ever stitched together.

Naturally Biden resorted to our “democracy” over and again as if it were a convention that should be worshipped. He said it well beyond the point of where it became sickening. And it’s another lie. The U.S. is not a democracy. Never has been. Why do the Democrats and their media cheerleaders continue to identify our style of government in the same terms a grade-schooler would?

The U.S. is a representative republic, or democratic republic. (And Biden and his party are its biggest internal threat.) Democracy is mob rule, which is exactly what the Democrats want – as long as it’s their mob ruling. Think of the George Floyd riots, Antifa violence, destruction, looting – they support anything that wrecks order and helps set them up to take on more political power.

Even the ancients understood the dangers of democracy. A Greek historian who lived more than 2,000 years ago noted that Democracy, “by its violence and contempt of law becomes sheer mob rule.”

As always, Biden was a lout, projecting, as Democrats do, the sins of his party – flouting the Constitution, disregard for the rule of law, a naked lust for political power, and contempt for our system of government – onto the only major party in this country that has, too often with minimal success, tried to protect liberties and limit freedom-killing government expansion.

But none are surprised. Biden has always been a sleazy character who has plagiarized the work of others, bullied anyone not in a position to challenge him, smeared GOP judicial nominees, vilified a man whose offense is that he was driving the truck that Biden’s first wife drove into the path of, killing herself and infant daughter, and likely used his office for personal monetary gain. The man is a wreck who is taking a country down with him…”

This disaster is a direct result of Biden’s border policies

Judge finds FBI malfeasance but no law broken in Carter Page setup…

Judge agrees Carter Page was railroaded by FBI Then throws out the case

“…Carter Page cannot sue the FBI or numerous other involved former officials over a series of forged FISA warrants, a judge sitting in Washington, D.C. ruled late Thursday.

The decision comes in a 54-page opinion and order from Trump-appointed U.S. District Judge Dabney Friedrich, which recounts the FBI’s false statements and omissions in seeking warrants on Page.

The opinion notes the culpability of then-FBI counterintelligence investigator and Page investigation case agent Stephen Somma. Summarizing the allegations of the lawsuit, the ruling says Somma “misled and withheld information from DOJ attorneys regarding Page’s status as a CIA operational contact” and kept lawyers in the dark about Christopher Steele‘s “political bias and funding source.”

The judge quotes the appraisal of the Office of Inspector General that Somma was “primarily responsible for some of the most significant errors and omissions in the FISA applications.”

The court also catalogues a series of alleged and proven missteps with respect to the Page warrant applications by agent Joe Pientka, analyst Brian Auten, then-FBI director James Comey, then-deputy director Andrew McCabe, then-counterintelligence deputy assistant director Peter Strzok, and then-FBI lawyer Lisa Page.

“There is little question that many individual defendants, as well as the agency as a whole, engaged in wrongdoing,” Friedrich writes. “Even so, Page has brought no actionable claim against any individual defendant or against the United States.”

The rationale used to dismiss Page’s lawsuit relies on a gap the court found in the FISA law’s redress subsections.

“That Congress allowed suit against only those who conduct unauthorized surveillance, and not those who at the application stage mislead the FISC to approve that surveillance—may seem odd,” Friedrich writes. “But it is not so ‘absurd when considered in the particular statutory context,’ as the Court must.”

The judge goes on to write that FISA is a law that was passed “to counter the abuses of warrantless surveillance” but that Congress, when it passed the law, did not anticipate any kind of relief for surveillance conducted with a warrant that was falsified – as happened, on several different occasions, here.

“This historical context helps explain why [one of the FISA sections under which Page sued] applies to agents who conduct unauthorized surveillance—typically, that means without a court order—rather than those who help obtain faulty warrants,” the court explains. “This gap in coverage seems evident now, but it likely was not in 1978.”

The court insists this is a matter only Congress can rectify:

Page faces at least three statutory roadblocks. First, Congress has not created a private right of action against those who prepare false or misleading FISA applications. Both the plain language and the structure of FISA make clear that civil liability under 50 U.S.C. § 1810 attaches only to those who conduct or perform electronic surveillance. Second, Congress has not provided for damages claims against federal officers for constitutional violations stemming from unlawful electronic surveillance in the national security context. And third, Congress has not waived the United States’s sovereign immunity for this kind of claim.

“When it comes to Page’s core claim—that the defendants misled the FISC to obtain surveillance warrants without probable cause—the Court cannot create a cause of action that Congress did not enact,” the opinion goes on…”

Nanny State Test: Company Locks Thermostats of 22K Customers, Cites ‘Energy Emergency’

“…22,000 Xcel Energy customers in Colorado who wanted to be a little more comfortable on Tuesday when the thermometer was pegged at 90+ degrees, a bizarre message flashed on their thermostats indicating they’d lost the ability to control the temperature in their own homes.

According to KMGH-TV, “Energy Emergency” was part of the message that flashed on thermostats as temperatures skyrocketed and Xcel customers desperately tried to crank the A/C.

“Temperature locked temporarily during energy emergency. Due to a rare energy emergency that may affect the local energy grid, your temperature slider has been changed from 8:00 pm – 8:00 pm because you enrolled in a Community Energy Savings Program,” the full message read.

However, customers enrolled in the otherwise innocent-sounding “program,” like Tony Talarico, had absolutely no idea they could lose full control of the ability to cool down their house during a nasty heat wave…”
