In Topics: Immigration Stupidity Female Stupidity
From the title, the reader may thing this post is about legal/court matters, but it's not. This post is about people around the world who are trying to resist the Population Replacement Program being being afraid to tell the whole truth. (I'm not sure this one requires the "nothing but the truth" part.) We'll explain the what - the whole rather than the partial truth, the how, and the why.
That's not Chicago, neither the band nor the city. It's Dearbornistan, Michigan, still the headquarters of Ford Motor Company, but now one of the centers of Islam in America. Moslems comprise about 45 thousand of the 110,000 residents.
Oh, wait, but the 5 times daily ululating Moslem calls to prayer are not disturbing to the Christians or anyone else in Dearbornistan. Snopes fact-checked this!
When mass immigration stupidity - legal or illegal - was confined to a few special places, the Chinatowns of NYC and San Francisco, the Cuban area of Miami, a large portion of southern California, Dearbornistan as mentioned, well, one could just not live in these foreign countries within ours. It was annoying but easy to handle. It's not like that now. Strange foreigners are being purposely imported en masse to formerly White, at least American towns and cities all over. Just one example that was made famous by Donald Trump and some cats and dogs was Springfield, Ohio - see Targeted Cultural Destruction and a deep dive into Tragic Dirt. The mass destruction via Somalians, Haitians, and other Africans is pretty recent.
Some of these "folks" have lived in America awhile and are spreading around. (Of course, until Trump's efforts, they've been importing their kinfolk too on all manner of visas like all the rest.) Large communities of Moslems are no longer confined to a few areas.
It might come as a surprise for Americans to learn of a Mosque or Islamic school being planned nearby in their small town, or maybe not. We reported on the story of a town in Alabama, a suburb, really, of Birmingham, in our post Better Hooverville than Hooverstan. That one had a happy ending.... BUT... it wasn't pleasing to me.
The problem was that the whole truth was not told by the population petitioning for the denial of the permit for this school. It was the traffic! See, there'd be too much traffic if the Moslem school was built there! (Put it somewhere else.)
Nah. In the post I embedded a map and talked about the traffic. The traffic wasn't going to be a problem. Even it were going to be, that's NOT why the school shouldn't be built. I broached this topic in that post, while I also mentioned a couple of old posts having nothing to do with immigration but with black dysfunction instead - It's a Beautiful Day in the Leafy Neighborhood. and It's another beautiful day in the leafy neighborhood ...
Regarding any such mass influxes of foreigners, traffic, the noise, maybe housing prices from an influx of more of these people, or, they have not been vetted, all that may be some truth. It's not the whole truth.
The whole truth is: We don't want these Moslems in our American towns! Why don't we as Americans bring up the whole truth at the meetings?
Let's head overseas in our minds to those protests against mass immigration and cultural destruction in the UK/Ireland. Peak Stupidity was heartened to see the many videos, but we still had this to say: Irish Rioters - Cheerful videos but, please, "It's NOT the vetting, stupid.". I would think once you'd gotten your courage up and made the effort to get out into the streets, yelling through a bullhorn, chanting, holding up the nearly-banned old flags, and maybe setting a couple of small fires, you'd be emboldened to tell the whole truth. I didn't see enough of that.
Most of the complaints were:
1) Not enough vetting!
2) They're using up the welfare money meant for us.
3) There's two-tier justice.
These are all pieces of truth but not the whole truth. The problem with bringing up the traffic congestion in Hoover, Alabama or these 3 legitimate concerns in the UK is two-fold:
A) What if these problems get fixed? "OK, we've got the new Islamo-bypass road planned, with an exit right to the school. The school is now approved. Thank you for your attention to this matter."
For the UK: (1) "We've got men working in shifts vetting Somalians and Haitians starting from the elementary schooling in the old country." (2) "Taxes will be raised so you all can get the same welfare money as our newcomer migrants." (3) We'll go ahead and prohibit complaints about the two-tiered justice. Splendid!" I jest a bit here, but the point is that they'll find a way to mollify those who bring up only parts of the truth so that they won't get called nasty words.
B) This shows weakness. You will lose in the long run this way. Even if the traffic doesn't get fixed, once there are 2 Moslems, 1 cucked White man afraid of the 2 Moslems, and 3 women on the 11-member city council, that'll be all she wrote. Use of unnecessary violence in the implementation of Sharia Law... has been approved!*
I asked above why we don't bring that up at the meetings**? I got into this way, way back, in Nice Church ladies destroy Lewiston, Maine, explaining how this sort of thing starts small:
The poor bastards who’ve got to live with the huge change to their quality of life and culture for now on (with always a downward trend), know right away it's gonna be a bad thing, and may go to those initial town hall meetings "conversations":I will update this with my newest thoughts on how the respectable compassionate ladies will act at these things.
“We’re just bringing in downtrodden families, plus maybe a couple of poor teenagers, from Somalia. I hope there are no racist xenophobes here. If so, it’s only 15 asylum-seekers to our town of 30 thousand – how can you be so mean and nasty to object?!” Well, nobody objects. Nobody in town wants to have everyone else there look at him like that nasty foul-mouthed bad guy that isn’t compassionate enough to provide a “room at the inn”.*
At the next asylum-seeker meeting for another 20 asylum-seekers, its just the same, except you won’t even find 1/2 the people there from town to show up to object, as they can imagine how embarrassing it would be. This goes on for years, and people have kids. People find it easier to move to a different town than to say anything. You’d think that’d be silly… but no, it's pretty much all that's left to do.
"I just don't want Moslems to be here, period. It's gonna change our whole way of life. If we'd wanted to live in Pakistan, we'd have moved to Pakistan." (That's the way I'd put it, anyway.)
"GASP. Well, I've never heard such racist evil hate out of anyone! Sir, honestly, you're pretty creepy, and it's making me feel uncomfortable."
So, you creep on out the room, as they don't want to hear it, and they won't understand the problem until they have masses of migrants raping their daughters and jumping into their bedrooms at night. During the meetings, that woman could only imagine so far as that creepy racist guy who told the whole truth, making her very uncomfortable, not this sort of thing:
(I know, they talk fast, and they hold their phones wrong.)
She's a little more than uncomfortable... I'd call it terrified and justifiably hysterical. Hmmmm, one wonders what this young lady would have had to say about one of those creepy guys bringing up racist remarks back at the community meetings for Moroccan migrant schools or something. But, that was then. The women are demanding action, NOW.
Back to the homeland and these frequent community battles over Mosques or Moslem schools, as far as things have advanced, I think these same women today might know to kinda shut up now and let people say whatever they've got for an excuse to block the efforts. They really don't want their daughters to end up wearing burkas. What if I go up there during my 2 minutes, say nothing about traffic congestion, but instead say: I don't like these people. I don't want the school here, I don't want them in my home town, and I want them out of the damn country!? Would I still get called a racist creepy guy, or would the women and cucked men stand down? The whole truth must come out, or we're not living long like this.
Ha, I realized how much of this I have explained in those previous posts about half way in, but the main point of writing this was to get to some recent good news on the matter - that'll have to come tomorrow.
* Obscure but memorable Blues Brothers reference.
** I exclude myself, as I did bring up the possible black problem in that zoom meeting described in the posts on the leafy neighborhood. I haven't had the opportunity to do this regarding plans for an immigrant invasion in my town, and I hope I never have to. If so, I'll be there at the meeting - with the truth. I don't need to fit in with the neighborhood ladies who are lucky to be only concerned with "MOAR 4-way stop signs!"

PS: Regarding the first portion of your most recent comment under this post, yes, I know, and I agree completely. Well, I'd like to say every 1 years (mechanic friend says 2), but I hate to tell you how long it's been in that vehicle.
I've done 2 other vehicles and another came with lots of recent maintenance done.
How long does it take to 1) absorb enough water to hurt the lines and 2) for this water to actually corrode enough to be serious is something that is guesswork. (For my friend in a 30 y/o Toyota with lots of miles, it'd obviously been too long, as the brake pedal went down to the floor on the highway, squirting the fluid out a crack in the line. He was able to get off the road safely.) I figure the seal on the brake fluid reservoir is important, and I suppose how often you open it and let more air in. As you pump the brakes, you're probably bringing some air in, then pushing some out somewhere. Yes, the water will get in.
My point was just that my friend uses a vacuum pump to pull out not so much the refrigerant, which I guess dissipates quickly but the compressor oil from auto A/C systems, but he doesn't use it with the brake systems.
I am sure it's another step that sure can only help more. The normal process is to just let the new stuff push the old stuff out. Does that push all the water with it? It is entrained in the brake fluid, right? When we bled the Korea-mobile, I could see right when the new stuff came through, within one pump, as the color changed from pee-colored (to each his own) to the color of lemonade. So, we didn't waste too much.
"Take care of the small stuff, and the big stuff will take care of itself", my friend always says. OTOH, I've got a number of vehicles, so every 2 years, maybe 5, might have to do. I have never had a pedal go to the floor - that would surely change my mind! (Not just the safety aspect, but as you said, it would be a bunch of work.)

PS: Adam, first about vacuum pumps. I did some work that required learning about vacuum pumps and using a couple of them. It was for a different purpose than cleaning out a system. The purpose for "high" vacuum (really meaning low, but "high QUALITY" vacuum is what is meant) is different, often required for certain industrial process or some experiments.
When the purpose is the get down to very low number of molecules (still LARGE, but relatively), if that's the very purpose, then you deal with pressures that go down toward 0 absolute but cannot actually get all the way, of course, to 0 molecules. The units are millitorr, microtorr, etc., with 1 torr being 1 /760 of a standard atmosphere.
So, yes, as far as structure goes, a 1 torr vacuum, pretty low-cost with simple pumps required, requires the same canister, cylinder, bell jar, whatever, than does a million dollar system that gets down to, I dunno, hundredths of a microtorr or something.. The pumps and seals must be different to "pull", as they put it, the volume down to where only that tiny fraction of molecules are left and also hold it there, as opposed to one decent enough for cleaning out brake lines or air conditioning lines.
I didn't really mean the flow rate, but, as you wrote, that's important too. Unlike in the lab, you don't want to sit for 3 hours waiting to get to a certain vacuum pressure.
So I was asking what vacuum pressure it gets to, which of course will be around 0 absolute or -14.7 psi gage pressure (i.e. what you'd read on a normal bourdon tube pressure gauge, reading 0 at atm. pressure.
As I've explained to my kid about rinsing out the cat water bowl vs changing the oil, there are different purposes to either draining most of some fluid out (the oil - if you leave an oz, yeah, you might still have some crud, but the idea is to fill up with a high majority of good new stuff) or trying to get down to really clean level (rinse the cat bowl 3 times, mixing those couple of drops left with all new stuff gets you waaay down in terms of remains of the old stuff - the cats can tell!)
That was a long treatise, haha. I want to write about the other points next.

Brake fluid is hygroscopic. So... Over time the brake fluid in a system attracts moisture. This moisture is "bad" for two reasons.
1. Water in the system will make the brake pedal feel spongy and can affect stopping performance. (Especially in hot conditions.)
2. Corrosion. Water in the system will rot brake lines, caliper pistons, wheel cylinders, master cylinders, and even ABS pumps.
Years ago a sharp mechanic told me that if people would change their brake fluid every year or so that brake components would last much longer and need replacement less frequently. I assumed that he was right. And the clanker agrees...

So, yeah.. It's just one of those things I do that most people don't bother with until the whole system comes apart for a larger, more expensive repair.

PS: Greetings, Achmed!
𝑌𝑜𝑢 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑎 𝑣𝑎𝑐𝑢𝑢𝑚 𝑝𝑢𝑚𝑝 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑗𝑜𝑏, 𝐴𝑑𝑎𝑚?
Yes. It is the same vacuum pump I use for vacuuming out an a/c system whenever I have to crack one open for whatever reason. Though I am not sure which, because it is in the shop and I'm here at the house, I have one of these...
https://www.harborfreight.com/25-cfm-vacuum-pump-61245.html
https://www.harborfreight.com/3-cfm-2-stage-vacuum-pump-61176.html
(I think I have the cheaper, single stage pump? But it is also possible that because the two stage pump is only slightly more expensive that I might have picked up one of those? I guess I'll check next time I go to the shop.)
I bought it like 15 years ago from the harbor Freight in Kennesaw. (This was long before we had a Harbor Freight here in Dahlonega.)
𝐻𝑜𝑤 𝑚𝑢𝑐ℎ 𝑑𝑜𝑒𝑠 𝑖𝑡 𝑝𝑢𝑙𝑙?
Well, as you know, a full vacuum exerts about 14.7 psi of atmospheric pressure pushing (inward) on the outside of the tank. More specifically, a "perfect vacuum" will show 29.92 inHg (29.92 inches of mercury) (or one atmosphere) on a vacuum gauge at sea level.
But, when you ask 𝐻𝑜𝑤 𝑚𝑢𝑐ℎ 𝑑𝑜𝑒𝑠 𝑖𝑡 𝑝𝑢𝑙𝑙? I think what you mean is how much "volume of vacuum" does the pump pull? Well... Either 2.5 CFM or 3 CFM. (Probably a bit less because the seal on my makeshift vacuum tank is less than perfect.)
In any case, the pump has always worked well enough for any ac job or brake job I have used it for. If I were to buy a new one I would go with the larger one. I'd imagine one of these would do an even better job...
https://www.harborfreight.com/59-cfm-2-stage-deep-rotary-vane-vacuum-pump-58141.html
Better, in this case, means more quickly. (More cubic feet per minute.) Because you simply can't pull more than 29.92 inches of mercury in a vacuum at sea level. (As you pointed out when you said 𝑎𝑛𝑦 𝑏𝑒𝑡𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑎 𝑣𝑎𝑐𝑢𝑢𝑚 𝑑𝑜𝑒𝑠𝑛'𝑡 𝑑𝑜 𝑎𝑛𝑦 𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑒𝑟.) But it would pull more volume (5.9 CFM), which would likely mean I could (in theory) pull more brake fluid through the system more quickly. (Unless I am already pulling the brake fluid out as quickly as the diameter of the brake line allows.) (Or something like that.)
But yeah... I have a couple old tanks from pump sprayers. One is the vacuum tank (that will usually compress in on itself when I pull enough brake fluid) and the other is the collection tank. (For the old dirty brake fluid.) When I use it for ac I just connect it straight to the pump. I think having a propane tank (that won't compress under vacuum) will be a nice upgrade as it will provide a larger vacuum reservoir to provide steady vacuum behind the collection tank.
Anyway...
I'm going to go check out your new post.

PS: You have a vacuum pump for that job, Adam? How much does it pull? I imagine it can't be that much if the plastic spray canisters could be used at all. OTOH, once you go down to 0 absolute pressure (-14.7 psi gage pressure), any better of a vacuum doesn't do any more to the container.
Even my mechanic friend who's something of a perfectionist doesn't do this with brakes. He does suck out the lines and heat exchangers in the A/C systems though.
Have fun with it. Stay clean. (haha.)

PS: Good morning, Mr. Moderator...
Yeah, I too replaced a very dirty (I mean DIRTY) cabin air filter in this Lexus. (Fortunately, on the 2001 Lexus RX300, there are just 2 bolts and two screws holding the glove box in. Once you remove the glove box, and detach the yellow wiring harness from the back of it, the cabin air filter, blower motor and mode actuator are all easily accessible.)
All this talk of cabin air filters is reminding me that I have never changed the cabin air filter in Mrs. Smith's car. (I guess I'll have to find it first. I think it might be more difficult to get to than the air filter in these Oriental cars. In any case, it is time to find out.)
Glad to hear the maintenance on your Korea Mobile went well.
Speaking of brakes... I have an old propane tank that the valve is going out on. Instead of replacing the valve assembly (the local propane place will swap it with a new one for $26, which isn't bad, but costco sells brand new tanks for $42, so...) I'm going to use the old tank as my new vacuum tank for when I do brakes. More specifically, when I change brake fluid and/or bleed brakes after I replace calipers or wheel cylinders. I've been using those one or two gallon plastic tanks that come with the pump sprayers that seem to only last for about a year. But under heavy vacuum they tend to collapse. Using an old propane tank as my vacuum tank will be a nice upgrade for my brake bleeder.

PS: Thanks for the link, Adam. I'm glad your car jobs weren't too painful.
The simplest job we did lately on the vehicles is to change out the cabin air filter (behind the glove box) in the Korea-mobile. It never had been changed, mostly because I hadn't known there WAS such a thing. (I don't think any of the other vehicles have one, maybe the one, but it would have been changed by the guy who sold it to me.)
Anyway, it was DIRTY. I'm glad we did that. The brake job went very smoothly too.

PS: "The Flockers are being cut down because they are obvious. I’ve only seen a couple Flocks around here, but plenty more stealth cams."
Oh, yeah, I've noticed cameras in their little darkened glass (or plexiglass) hemispherical bubbles for years. Some are "just the security cameras here in the Home Depot parking lot" or whatever, but computer memory is nearly free, and cops can get ahold of anything the store keeps if they want it. Then there are all the residences with their "Ring" cameras. Same thing, if the cops want the footage.
The Flocks are just more organized and purposeful. I am glad to see the spirit of this, but then on the way home from blasting one of these with buckshot you may hear "They can't spy on us now! Let me call my buddy about this..." on my smart phone that can send in location data (the very LEAST amount of data - say, a 9 digit latitude and a 9 digit longitude every couple of seconds - NOTHING compared to audio, much less, video), recording of everything said near the device, and as much video as it can gather... to be sent in to "headquarters" on the hour and half hour.
"Oh, but I turned it off." Yeah, what's it been doing all that time? "I never heard the camera click", as if it's a real mechanical shutter. "It's in a Faraday cage at night." Sure, but next time it's not, it uploads all the data. It doesn't have to tell you squat about what all's going on.
Depressing, but as I said, I like the spirit of this, though.
Oh, yeah, I've noticed cameras in their little darkened glass (or plexiglass) hemispherical bubbles for years. Some are "just the security cameras here in the Home Depot parking lot" or whatever, but computer memory is nearly free, and cops can get ahold of anything the store keeps if they want it.

I noticed the stealth camera on light posts ages ago.
The Flockers are being cut down because they are obvious. I’ve only seen a couple Flocks around here, but plenty more stealth cams.

No. I don't have a facebook account. (I did have one long ago but I closed/canceled it like 15 years ago.)

It wasn't too bad. I worked in the shade with a nice breeze. Also... The blower motor swap is super simple on the 2001 Lexus RX300 as is the mode door actuator. I actually did the repair yesterday. (I did the troubleshooting diagnosing the other day, I guess it was last Friday, and then I ordered parts.) I billed this repair at two hours. One hour for the diagnosis and ordering the parts. (And) It took me about an hour to do the repair yesterday. (This is one of the easier mode door actuator repairs I've done. I really do like old Lexus. (The official plural of Lexus is Lexus. Though I suppose we could go with Lexi. Because it is fun!) (Lexuses would probably be the most accurate in American.)
(I have to run, because I have a car to wash before we go to the Costco.)
(Hope you and the Newman family are all well.)
Happy Wednesday! ☮️

PS: Good morning, Adam. I don't have a link to the story, but a few of those cameras have been damaged here too. Did you get a chance to write in any comments to the Lumpkin County Sheriff's statement? It says he got quite a lot.
It must have been hot there down under the dash messing with the blower motor.

So... I was going to respond to your comments about Darline/Darlene the other day, but then my neighbor brought me a Lexus with a bad mode door actuator and a blinky blower motor to fix. After that I did some cleanup in the garden and before I knew it I forgot all about what I was going to say able Darline/Darlene Graham. (Something about performative stupidity by members of the ruling class so they seem more relatable to the low IQ voaters, or something.)
Anyway... I have some great news this morning!

I haven't read this post yet, but I'll be doing that shortly. I hope you're having a great and wonderful time of it and I hope everything is awesome at the Newman family compound.
Cheers! ☮️

He got a new master cylinder for the Toyota, as preventative maintenance. After he put it in, his brakes were slightly engaged, he realized, but it had already heated up at least one side enough to hurt the wheel bearing I think, maybe the rotor was screwed somehow - I'd have to ask. He got a replacement, each time spending whatever time it takes to replace the master cylinder, and the same thing happened. It was a defective design. He's all for getting quality parts, but he could not get the original OEM one. So, he ended up getting a rebuild kit of the master cylinder assembly. It's good now, but if he were to really add up his mechanic time, I'd guess that cheap badly-designed part cost him a thousand bucks or more.
That Chinese one may have been copied but some ports in the reservoir (if I got this right - he never showed me the parts) were mis-located, so pressure was put on the fluid when he was off the brakes.
