Home is where one starts from. As we grow older
The world becomes stranger, the pattern more complicated
Of dead and living. Not the intense moment
Isolated, with no before and after,
But a lifetime burning in every moment
And not the lifetime of one man only
But of old stones that cannot be deciphered.
There is a time for the evening under starlight,
A time for the evening under lamplight
(The evening with the photograph album).
Love is most nearly itself
When here and now cease to matter.
Old men ought to be explorers
Here or there does not matter
We must be still and still moving
Into another intensity
For a further union, a deeper communion
Through the dark cold and the empty desolation,
The wave cry, the wind cry, the vast waters
Of the petrel and the porpoise. In my end is my beginning.
When all Earth’s seas shall Levitate,
Dark shawled within the skies,
Upon our eyes will Starfish dance
Their waltz of Blind surprise.
The sun will Rise within wine Dark
As Argonauts imbibed,
Whose drunken arms embrace that sleep
Where Phaeton’s horses Stride.
Upon all of Earth’s wind-sanded shores,
As dolphins Learn to soar,
All we once were on the land
Shall be sealed behind the door
Of Ivory and Chastened Gold,
That the Mystery solved complete
Shall never til the seas’ Long fall
Wake mariners from their sleep.
— Van der Leun
I CELEBRATE myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
I loafe and invite my soul,
I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.
My tongue, every atom of my blood, form’d from this soil, this
air,
Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their
parents the same,
I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin,
Hoping to cease not till death.
— Walt Whitman
Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.
I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.
I do not think that they will sing to me.
I have seen them riding seaward on the waves
Combing the white hair of the waves blown back
When the wind blows the water white and black.
We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
Till human voices wake us, and we drown.
— The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T. S. Eliot

Teddy had it right, speak softly and….
I’m unsympathetic to anyone anywhere around these places.
What’s the diff between cops that don’t do their jobs and no cops at all?
Right.
Fire all of them.
Already feeling much better about the purchase of that latest battle rifle; when facing large numbers, the ability to put two or three down with a single round is a very good thing.
I’ve seen stuff on Facebarf where there is a PLANNED protest in Huntington Beach today, and another one Planned in La Verne for Wednesday.. Notices say “Bring signs and masks.” How is this tolerated? I seem to remember masking was illegal at such events. Taking advantage of the Plandemic?
Quite a contrast. HB is a white town, and the HBPD take zero crap. They’ve had riots in HB before, and it never turned out good for the rioters. LaVerne is heavily black. That’s all you need to know.

Last night my wife received copies of a series of texts that North American Pavement Apes were sending in the Dallas area where they were announcing plans to attack the folks who live in upscale Highland Park. The negresses were saying they planned to burn the houses and then rape and kill the rich white bitches who live in that part of town.
The citizens who had monitored these texts were obviously scared out of their wits but I haven’t heard anything else today so I don’t know if these chicken shit PAs followed up with anything. The cops should have been onsite and every husband and grownup in that area should be armed to the teeth and willing to take appropriate action if the SHTF. This kind of thing matters, even without an attack because the PA’s have expressed their hatred, the desires and intent are spoken, typed and delivered as an email or a text and imho it’s a real threat. But LEO’s aren’t going to go after them
What I do know is that in every instance where they are not shot down and slaughtered on the streets, they will become bolder and bolder and the only way to take the edge off of these assholes is to start killing them. More will come in response but that just means you need to have enough ammunition and calm firearm management skills to turn them back. You’ll just have to think about it later. If one white person is attacked then every white person should respond with fury, no mercy and no remorse.
This entire thing has nothing at all to do with race but these fools cannot understand that because to them being black is a curse from God Himself and white people are the reason for every problem they’ve ever faced. They haven’t been aggrieved or influenced by Floyd’s death and they care no more for Floyd than they do for the dozens of their own kind that they murder every day in the shit holes in which they live.
These fools aren’t interested in justice and for that matter, they have no idea of the meaning of that word. They want revenge, retaliation and blood for imagined crimes and slights. They want a reckoning and I hope they receive it.
That’s what happens when you give people stuff and ask nothing in return. It’s never enough. Something changes in their brains. They no longer have the will to earn anything, having been reprogrammed into believing the gravy train is normal. Whine a little and the gravy flows even deeper, every time. Over and over and over again the politicians (gov’t criminals) keep stealing more and more from the productive and give more and more to the parasites. Both sides, the producers and the parasites, become more and more hostile to one another. Eventually the parasites must be killed off or eliminated in one way or another, otherwise the hosts, the producers, will cease or leave. You always knew this day was looming, maybe it is here now. As the Duke said in McClintock, “Break out some Winchesters!”
In Spokane yesterday, the Tweeters have it that the Nike store was looted by Proud Boys or the like “in disguise”. Shhhyeah. Right.
Police: when you take a knee you are disrespecting the flag. No. There is no parsing that. You’re morally specious and you are shitting on my flag. Clean up your character immediately because you wear a badge and a gun. You cannot sympathize or empathize with BLM or Antifa because nothing is enough until they install Marxism. After they install Marxism, they will begin to destroy the liberals first.
Yesterday my daughter asked me why they are destroying or attacking liberal stores or businesses. Didn’t Nike go all out to take a knee? The only “take a knee” the police need to know is that one where the riot baton goes across their knees.
Get the shit out of your brain. War stance.
I was born and bred in L. A. and well remember the Watts riots in ‘65. The ONLY thing that stopped them was the National Guard being called out in force.
When there wasn’t enough locally-sourced men, more came in by train from Northern CA. Local station KTLA covered their arrivals and the off-loading of gear. These guys knew their shit, especially their COs.
They then deployed a 360° perimeter around the riot area (no mean feat) with .30 cal WWII era machine guns at strategic intersections complete with sandbags, loaded for bear with orders to shoot to kill.
Then the infantrymen went into the hot areas behind armored vehicles with orders to shoot to kill any and all looters.
After some dead (and well-publicized) “shoppers” It took all of ~48 hours for the riots to come to a dead halt.
So ended the Watts riots.
Looking like the scenario here if it lasts…
Even my town, Whittier, had a brush with it. There was a protest march uptown. Some broken glass and tagging, but nothing worse. There was a planned looting–er — protest at the local shopping center but it never materialized. Heavy police presence uptown kept the lid on.

JWM – Not in Friendly Hills, I hope?
Wife grew up there, went to La Serna High.
It used to be a nice little town until it was overwhelmed by E. LA and denizens from over the hill.
Happens a lot.

Funny, my wife and I just got back from a morning walk in Wilderness Park, right by La Serna High. The stuff happened uptown on Greenleaf. We didn’t drive over there to see. The park area and Whittwood were OK. The locals were obediently masked up to hike in the hills. Can’t be too careful, or disobey your television, now…
All goofin’ aside, we dodged a bullet.
