The Morning Rant

You know what I've never seen Trump do? Punch down. When he tears someone a new one on Twitter, who is the target? It's either another politician, or a celebrity, or a journalist, or someone else in a position of power and privilege.

And it's usually someone who has attacked him first. I don't think I've ever seen him throw the first punch, but I won't swear to this.

Contrast this with the progressives, who always punch down. Especially the progressive media, which destroyed Richard Jewell's life, doxed Joe the Plumber, and found a woman who didn't think Trump was colluding with the Russians and doxed her, too. Also the Covington students, about which CNN joined the progressive hue-and-cry for their blood.

Oh, and don't forget Memories Pizza, a mom and pop business almost destroyed a by progressive lynch mob whipped up by the media

Of course progressives hate normal Americans and don't hesitate to show it. Obama called normal Americans "bitter clingers." Hillary Clinton said Trump voters were "deplorable" and "irredeemable" (a word, which, considering Hillary's Methodist religious upbringing, carries some weight).

But I don't recall Trump ever attacking any ordinary American who didn't vote for him, either singly or in general.

And then there's Joe Biden, a one-man gaffe tornado. If Trump ever tried to pull *any* sort of maladroit antics Biden does every week, he'd be strung up by his nuts. But Biden is immune from media criticism. He likes to yell at and pick fights with voters who disagree with him, call then names, threaten them with violence, and challenge them to push-up contests. Yes, I know a lot of this can be accounted by the fact that he's a demented old fart, and yet the progressives aren't doing an intervention, they're actually cheering him on. Yes, when Joe tells some guy he's full of shit, they want to see him do it *more*.

The mind boggles.

Biden is this close --><-- to taking a swing at somebody.

Progressives pride themselves as fighting against "oppression" by the powerful against the weak. They claim to be champions of 'the little guy'.

But from what I've seen, they're real bad at it.

Monday's celebs: Richard Burton, whose birth name was Richard Walter Jenkins, was the son of a Welch coal miner and the twelfth of thirteen children. His mother died while he was a toddler and his father later abandoned the family, leaving him to be raised by an elder sister. Our female celeb for Monday was Elizabeth Taylor, who needs no introduction, was known chiefly for being married a bunch of time, twice to Burton. Yes, they married, got divorced, then got married again, then got divorced again. They were in a number of movies together, notably 1963's big-budget spear-and-sandal spectacle, Cleopatra.

AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List

Dear ASHQ praying friends,

14 Punching up/down in leftist calculus only refers to the progressive victim hierarchy. Barack was "punching up" on Joe the Plumber because half-white is more oppressed than full white. Since Trump is a rich heterosexual white Christian male, he is incapable of punching up in their worldview.

You leave him alone and he won't bother you. I can't think of a single instance where he started the fight.

21 I was going to say "Liv Ullman," simply because of von Sydow's death, not because, like TheJamesMadison, I know her by sight.

But, as usual, I was pipped at the post.

Marshaling massive federal resources, dedicating a big executive team to it, repealing older regulations to expedite test kits, going on a huge public hygiene/sanitation push, a multi-pronged vaccination development with industry, travel restrictions from known outbreak areas, economic contingency planning and daily press briefings count as "unwilling to devote energy to the issue."

You need to watch more legacy media coverage. Your calibration is all out of whack. If you were consuming the appropriate news materials, you'd know that:
- Trump doesn't take the outbreak seriously
- Trump called the disease a hoax
- Trump has capitalized on the outbreak to suspend travel because he's a racist.
- The lack of test kits are Trump's fault (and not because of prior regulations preventing their development and usage)
- Trump's mismanagement of the Wuhan Flu is responsible for economic decline and is bad for the American worker

I posted it in the willowed thread, but this is officially my approach from here on out.

Sell a big chunk in the December or January before an election year when a Republican is in office or just about to leave office. Use that money to buy when the media and Democrats tank the market in order to prevent a Republican from being elected or re-elected.

I'm getting older and don't want to risk too much in case the bet goes bad, but I figure at least $15-20K to play with when the (D)s tank the market for the election.

But since the death rate is mostly high for those over 70 or with some condition, it seems an informed public should make wise choices, instead of shutting down the nation.

Of course the young that get infected may recover with few if any symptoms, but then they carry it to their parents I suppose. An online "hotspot map" might be useful to help the public make informed decisions. And there seem to be some treatments that greatly mitigate the seriousness and slow/stop the development in the cells ... S Korea has much lower death rates.

As for the Red Lobster Biscuits, they actually sell a mix kit that you can make them yourself at home. I tried them and they turned out great.

I tried them one time and the biscuits were really good, but you need a lot of family or some guests.

One of the questions was " Do you want the government to return to the way it was before Trump?"
74% of Biden voters responded yes.

No description of "the way it was" included in question. Not only is that the dumbest question , but the fact that 74% of Biden voters said yes to a non descript question pining for the good old days of Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and a 16,000 pt stock market, and higher tax rates. And Obama care.

Epidemiologist from Emory University on Laura last night pointed out that the average age of a resident of Northern Italy is 65. And the average age of coronavirus deaths in Italy is 80. There are explanations for why virus outbreaks and deaths usually cluster somewhere.

Michigan Gov. announced two positive cases of corona virus in Michigan last night( made sure to announce it after the polls closed, LOL) One a female from Oakland county who had traveled internationally and a male from Wayne county that traveled domestically. Of course, that's all we are allowed to know. Both have been isolated( one news story said hospitalized, the other said isolated, so who knows).

So, we'll see where this goes, I fully expect her to forbid large gatherings of people at events.

By the way, I heard Cuomo this morning not only has demanded no schools be open, but he also has said the same thing about churches.

378 351 Henry Fonda as Bezukhov in "War and Peace". His accent was more appropriate for fighting the Comanches than the Fr much. But that was a strange movie all around.

===========

His miscasting has more to do with the fact that he didn't fit the role.

I think actors should just use their natural accents when playing parts that originate in other languages, like an English production of the Russian War and Peace.

Kirk Douglas never gets hit because of his French accent in Paths of Glory because he doesn't even try a French accent in Paths of Glory.

382 Question: Northern Italy is really having a hard time

Someone said that Italy got hit so hard because they have a large
amount of Chinese workers in the Fashion industry there... They went
home for Chinese new year and came back... Of course people say a lot of
incorrect things about this so don't know how true that is

Posted by: It's me donna at March 11, 2020 11:54 AM (6XlcD)

When I was in Florence, the frigging al pacino looking italian dude who worked in the leather store there spoke fluent chinese to the shit ton of chinese tourists buying leather goods in the store. Frigging chinese. I would rate your statement as true.

384 Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets cast a good Laureline but a terrible, horrible, execrable Valerian. It was hard to tell which one was the girl.

I still have no eyed deer who he is.

Still liked that movie, went to the the-ater to see it in 3D. Went to see it for the SFX more than anything else. Nice fluffy movie with no plot to get in the way of the story, as Joe Bob Briggs would say, were he here.

The back story to how all the background aliens got designed is kinda neat. They went undercover and had a bunch of people on that Intarwebz thingy draw them up without knowing who wanted them.

Austria 182 sick 2 recovered
Swiss 476 sick 3 recovered 3 dead
Slovenia 31 sick
France 1784 sick 12 recovered 33 dead

But to be totally fair to France, they have thousands die when the temps hit 80 degrees.

She may be miscast from time to time, but she was strikingly attractive back in the '70s and '80s. And she manages to disappear into the character and seem like a real human being. You'd never catch her "acting."
