Europe’s governments are nearly a total failure when it comes to illegal immigration from Africa and the Middle East. Here is another day out of many days of illegal immigrants from Africa and/or the Middle East using boats to travel to Spain or Italy: “Italy: Dozens of migrants depart boat and rush across Sicilian beach” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JffN4DfRhPU). Based on historical norms, probability says these people are Africa's illegal immigrants who have a higher probability of depending on government assistance and committing sexual assault, stealing, robbery, assault, and murder. Their average intelligence is low, but they hate low-wage, low-skilled jobs. They whine about racism if you disagree with their unrealistic demands. They tend to procreate irresponsibly, thus, they have higher rates of broken families, disease outbreaks, poverty, and overpopulation, but they prefer to blame others for their problems and insist upon others to solve their problems. According to the Zionist liberals, we’re suppose to ignore these real-world problems. We’re suppose to assume cultural Marxism will eventually fix these problems. We’re suppose to see this acceptance of dysfunctional immigration as a sign of moral righteousness.
Then there are the neo-Nazis and other white supremacist groups who simplistically believe the solution to dysfunctional immigration is a grand race war, but that so-called great plan already led to 2 world wars that crippled Europe’s colonial empires. Then came the Cold War. A third world war would probably be more destructive and many times more radioactive that the first two world wars.
This dysfunctional immigration has historical causes. Europe’s recent past of colonialism and modern foreign policy toward Africa and the Middle East is based on extracting natural resources at the lowest prices possible to supply Europe’s high per-capita consumption rate. However, the modern foreign policy partly means Europe needs to create and maintain friendly foreign relations with Africa and the Middle East (e.g., help the foreign regime stay in power for as long as possible), which means Africa and the Middle East send lots of incompatible and/or dysfunctional immigrants to Europe.
If an African nation or Middle Eastern nation refuses to provide cheap trade deals to Europe, then Europe works with America to provide a(n) explosively liberation, humanitarian shootout, double-standard anti-terrorism, dumb-mock-crazy election or revolution for (relative) majority tyranny, and/or counterfeit war on drugs onto the uncooperative African or Middle Eastern nation. For recent examples, see Libya, Syria, Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan, Congo, Rwanda, etc. Stated differently, foreign interventions lead to blowback.
The problem with these foreign interventions is that they usually promote instability in Africa and the Middle East. This instability results in more poverty, more overpopulation, more civil wars, more oppressive factions, etc. Then many Africans and Middle Easterners migrate to Europe in search of better opportunities from their European liberators and human rights leaders. However, Europe’s culture is significantly different from Africa’s culture or the Middle East’s culture based on historical trends, lifestyle habits, education standards, science and technology, religion and philosophy, politics, physical appearance, clothing styles, culinary preferences, etc. Thus, the native Europeans disagree with the African immigrants and Middle Eastern immigrants, and vice versa, thus, various types of disputes arise. The Africans and Middle Easterners accuse the Europeans of being bigoted or racist. The Europeans accuse the Africans and Middle Easterners of being primitive or medieval.
The Zionist liberals definitely lack a realistic solution to deal with dysfunctional or incompatible immigration in America and around the world. After 8 years of coddling by Zionist liberals, President Braggart Obummer (the liberal-guilt idol and the first affirmative action president of superficial optimism) totally failed to develop real-world solutions to tangible problems across America and throughout the world. The Zionist Christians also lack a reasonable solution. First, they (incorrectly) decided President Curious George (the half-brained prince) was qualified to be the US president, because the average (white) Joe is suppose to possess the genetic talent and practical experience to lead a large and highly complex nation. This incompetent superstition led to the rise of the Obamanation, which was suppose to deliver change for hope we can believe in, yes we can! However, racial quota in the White House was a disappointment. Thus, we are stuck with unPresidented Dumb-Old Tramp for 4 to 8 years.
President Jack O’Lantern still has a chaotic White House after 9 months. One major reason for this chaos is Steve Bannon. He is suppose to be the mastermind behind the Trump campaign and Trump presidency, but he suffers from a psychosis of self-worship. Charlie Rose of the “60 Minutes” TV show from CBS News interviewed Steve Bannon (a.k.a., blustering blubbery buffoon). The full interview was available on 2017 Sept 10 (Sun): “Steve Bannon” (https://www.cbsnews.com/videos/steve-bannon/). Video clips and partial transcripts of the interview are available on the YouTube website and other Internet sites: “Steve Bannon's First Interview Since Leaving the White House Is Hugely Revealing” (http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a12191520/steve-bannon-60-minutes/). During the interview, Bannon claimed he is a street fighter (even though he is actually fat, does not engage in physical training, and only works in office settings), and he accused the Catholic Church of manipulating Hispanic people for financial gains. However, Bannon is a total hypocrite.
Bannon has a history of working with Goldman Sachs (which is a major investment bank that was sanctimoniously criticized by Bannon and the rest of Trump’s presidential campaign), Zionist liberal Hollyweirdo (which was unctuously criticized by Bannon during Trump’s presidential campaign and during Trump’s presidency), and America’s plutocracy (which pays for his propaganda job). Bannon also has a history of neglecting and abusing his wives (who divorced him) and their children (but he likes to hypocritically accuse his opponents of being “cucks” or inadequate husbands/boyfriends). Bannon is also guilty of drug abuse, gluttony, physical laziness, etc. Bannon cannot save himself, and, yet, he thinks he is the savior of America and the world. Bannon is a con-artist who suffers from delusions of grandeur, thus, he broke his moral backbone to suck his own cock.
Bannon repeatedly accused the US mainstream media of being the opposition or the enemy of the American people. There is some truth in that accusation. The US mainstream media is filled with propaganda that is based on cherry-picked partial truths mixed with lies. The US mainstream media’s news sector mostly favors Zionist liberalism, which is based on cultural Marxism. The US mainstream media’s entertainment sector is founded on Hollyweirdo, which glamorizes superficial entertainers who act friendly for public performances, but, in reality on a day-to-day basis, the so-called celebrities are emotionally unstable, impulsively decadent, ignorant about science, extremely egotistical, and pathologically dishonest. However, Bannon thinks he is the solution to the US mainstream media, which is a total lie. Bannon thinks his propaganda is the good propaganda. The website he manages, Breitbart news, is filled with propaganda for Zionist Christian white people and white supremacists.
After being unofficially fired but officially released from the White House that claims to take pride in politically incorrect facts, Steven Bannon will supposedly start a nuclear war to help Trump’s MAGA win as much as possible as many times as possible for as long as possible. In the real world, that means Steven Bannon returned to his job as chief propagandist at the Breitbart news website, which supposedly stands up for the average white person, the best freedom, and elite justice (i.e., Western colonialism that imploded by means of 2 world wars), but the news site is funded and indirectly controlled by super wealthy white people: “The Mercers, Mysterious Manhattan Billionaires, Are Revealed to be the Owners of Breitbart News” (http://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/money-and-power/news/a9710/who-owns-breitbart-news-mercer-family/).
The plutocracy mostly cares about profiting from others. The Mercer family is no different, and they are paying Steve Bannon and the rest of Breitbart News to spread corporate propaganda. Steve Bannon-dorf is suppose to be the Satanic puppet-master or the Darth Vader of the global movement for Zionist Christian whites, Zionist Jews, white supremacists, and neo-Nazis, but he looks like a bloated whale carcass that’s bleached by the sun and about to explode from gaseous rot. He has a history of tripping over himself, exaggerating his successes, and blaming others for his failures. His supporters have conflicting interests within themselves and with most of the entire world. However, their fantasies of self-worship persuaded themselves to believe they know what is best for the entire world.
Hopefully, this is my final update on toilet repair:
Amazon.com sold parts that were probably a bit too big for my specifications. In addition, I did not want to wait for shipping and handling plus the possibility of sending back the parts that might be too large. Other Internet stores only sold to retailers and refused to directly sell to end users.
I checked out well over a dozen plumbing stores and hardware stores across San Diego. I used Yelp.com and YellowPages.com to find these stores. I called them up and asked for 100% solid brass bolts, washers, and nuts with a body diameter of 5/16 inch and a length of ~3 inches. The head of the bolt also had to be extra wide to hold down a washer with a maximum diameter of ~1 inch. The bolt is suppose to fit into a hole that is ~6/16 inch in diameter or ~7/16 inch in diameter. Three of these holes connect the toilet tank to the toilet seat. The connection needs to be waterproof, because the toilet tank stores water that flushes down the toilet seat’s toilet bowl.
Anyhow, nearly all of these stores only had solid brass bolts, brass-coated stainless steel bolts, brass-coated stainless steel washers, stainless steel washers, and stainless steel nuts. Only 2 stores offer all of these components (bolts, washers, and nuts) in 100% solid brass:
* Marshall’s Industrial Hardware
P# (858) 271-5555
8423 Production Ave, San Diego, CA 92121
Store hours: M - F 7 - 5:30 & Sa 8 - 12
Yelp.com site: https://www.yelp.com/biz/marshalls-industrial-hardware-san-diego-4
* Payton’s True Value Hardware
P# (619) 443-1077
9841 Maine Ave, Lakeside, CA 92040
Store hours: M - F 7 - 6, Sa 7 - 5, & Su 7 - 4:30
Yelp.com site: https://www.yelp.com/biz/paytons-true-value-hardware-lakeside
I decided to visit Marshall’s Industrial Hardware, because it was slightly closer to my home than Payton’s True Value Hardware. In summary, the store did not sell exactly what I wanted, but it was good enough and better than my other options.
The head of bolt was a bit smaller than my preference, but it was big enough for practical functions. The same could be said about the metal washers and rubber washers. The nut was exactly what I wanted and needed. I got 3 bolts. For each bolt, I got 2 solid brass washers, 1 sold brass nut, and 3 neoprene rubber washers. I was suppose to get 2 rubber washers for each bolt, but I decided to get 3 for better leak resistance.
In a standard setup, I was suppose to attach a metal washer to the bottom of the head of the bolt, and then a rubber washer goes beneath the metal washer. Then the combination is inserted into a hole at the bottom of the toilet tank. From the outside of the toilet tank, the body of the bolt sticks out. Then a rubber washer is attached up the exterior part of the bolt and up against the exterior bottom of the toilet tank. Then a metal washer is applied against this exterior rubber washer. In other words, the 2 rubber washers are pressed against the interior part and exterior part of the toilet tank’s bottom hole. This creates a waterproof seal that is also gentle on the porcelain toilet tank.
I decided to insert a third rubber washer between the head of the bolt and the metal washer. I think this creates a better waterproof seal that keeps out water from leaking between metal components.
The parking space for Marshall’s Industrial Hardware is small. When I drove there, only 1 parking space was available. Inside the store, everything is neatly organized with a HUGE variety of tools. I was so amazed by the organization and variety of products that I wandered around the store for fun. Nearly all of the workers at Marshall’s Industrial Hardware were friendly and competent. While I was window shopping, an overweight Hispanic female worker asked me if I needed help. I told her what I wanted, and she easily told me the correct locations for what I wanted. The first location was for the bolts, nuts, and metal washers. The second location was for the rubber washers. When I reached the first location, I was overwhelmed by the organization and variety of bolts, nuts, and metal washers. The large variety of products were organized in a sequence that was initially confusing for me. Fortunately, a Hispanic female worker named Olga asked me if I needed help. She was probably no taller than 5 feet, but she was filled with helpful information, because she has been working at the store for many years. She knew the exact locations of what I wanted.
I asked Olga for plumbing advice, but she immediately admitted that she was an amateur plumber like me, thus, she could not give me expert advice on options that are better or inferior for toilet repair. I asked a white male worker who was working nearby for advice on toilet repair. He seemed confused and inexperienced, but he refused to immediately admit this. He was also chubby with bitch tits. Maybe his ego couldn’t admit his limitations. Anyhow, he finally said he would ask other workers for assistance. Then he saw a nearby Hispanic female customer and asked her if she needed help. She said yes, and started to ask questions. Then the worker used the store’s walkie-talkie system or wireless communication to call for assistance for me. A brief moment later, Olga arrived.
I asked Olga if she knew a worker who was good with toilet repair. She told me a guy named Bryce was the most knowledgeable worker there, so he was the best bet. She called him over with the store’s wireless communication. Bryce quickly arrived, and he was a friendly and knowledgeable white guy. I asked him about various options for long-term durability of various components for toilet repair. He told me the neoprene rubber washers should last at the very least a few years in tap water, the solid brass parts are specifically formulated to last many years in tap water, and the parts are smaller than the common standards for toilet repair, but the smaller parts should still work. He said the store will give a full refund for undamaged parts within 30 days of purchase. I asked Bryce if I should stack the rubber washers for better water resistance, but he told me that was excessively unnecessary.
Then I wandered around the store some more and talked to a few other workers who were friendly. Then I paid for the parts and left. After I bought the solid brass parts and neoprene rubber washers, I went to Home Depot and bought the Fluidmaster 400ARHRKP10 PerforMax All-In-One Toilet Repair Kit for s 2-inch flush hole. This product has good online reviews. This product contains the fill valve, flush valve, 2 bolts and related washers and nuts, large plastic gasket, and the large foam-rubber gasket. The washers were made of stainless steel, which I distrust over the long-term. The rubber washers were wider and thicker than the neoprene rubber washers that I bought from Marshall’s Industrial Hardware. However, the neoprene rubber washers felt tougher and more elastic.
After the procurement, I installed all of the parts into my toilet without any major problems. My experience from my previous and first installation attempt greatly improved the efficiency of my second and hopefully final installation attempt. Due to the cramped spaces and hard floor, I suffered minor fatigue to my lower back and minor pain for both of my knees. After I completed the installation, I walked to a local park for moderate sunbathing and exercising. For the future, I need to buy knee pads or some type of portable padding for kneeling down on the hard floor. Anyhow, I am currently testing for leaks and water-based corrosion from my second installation attempt.
