| Sunday Overnight Open Thread (5/24/20)Quote I “This is insanity, and at some point we are going to look back in shame as we consider it. Politicians will always seize the maximum amount of power, they can. That’s why they went into politics in the first place. The question for us is: ‘Why are the rest of us allowing this to happen?'Tucker Carlson Quote II
Quote III “VP Biden’s statement today represents the, arrogant and out-of-touch attitude of a paternalistic white candidate who has the audacity to tell Black people, the descendants of slaves, that they are not Black unless they vote for him. This proves unequivocally that the Democratic nominee believes that Black people owe him their vote without question; even though we as Black people know it is exactly the opposite. He should spend the rest of his campaign apologizing to every Black person he meets." Robert L. Johnson, founder of Black Entertainment Television & RLJ Companies Quote IV “I’m not being sarcastic, and I know your concern is genuine and well-intentioned. That said, a crocheted mask is about as effective as a balsa wood battleship.”James Woods An honest politician............
LOLGF!!! x 2 A man claiming to be Dr. Marc Mallory, the husband of nasty woman Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, called a docking/boat company late last week requesting immediate access to the couple’s boat for Memorial Day weekend. But because the company, NorthShore Dock LLC, was already severely behind schedule because of Whitmer’s oppressive shutdown orders, his request had to be denied. All of this was revealed in a Facebook post published by one of NorthShore’s employees. The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. Seniors rock the prank. Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves became the butt of the joke while paying tribute to high school graduates when he fell for a prank Bart Simpson would be proud of. On a Facebook live session Saturday, Reeves started reading the names of graduates from Florence High School, his alma mater, when he came to an unusual name – “Harry Azcrac.” The Republican, 45, read it, paused briefly and kept going. Born on this day: 24 May 1941 Saving basements wasn't enough. He had to be a Genius Award Winner. Brown allegedly robbed the Oklahoma Capital Bank in Skiatook on March 12. The captain, who had an account at the bank, was recognized by one of the employees from the way he walked and his muscular build, according to an affidavit provided to CNN by the Skiatook Police Department. The second robbery occurred on May 7 at the Exchange Bank in Sperry. Witnesses for both robberies said the suspect wore khaki pants, black gloves with a yellow logo, and used a black backpack to collect the money, the affidavit said. Brown was arrested in the parking lot of his fire station Monday and was released on a $50,000 bond two days later, Shoemake said. He is scheduled for arraignment June 18. The Tulsa Fire Department placed Brown on administrative leave. "We expect our employees to act in a manner that continuously builds upon public trust we have worked so hard to obtain," it said. Rumor has it that the Tulsa FD is hiring. Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day. Teens Rescue Old Man Trapped In A Fire Without Any Equipment Two friends rescued a man trapped on his balcony after a fire broke out in an apartment building in north-central France. The previous story, not enough Feel Goodism? Another Feel Good Story of The Day. #Believeallwomen right? Oh, wait. Since Tara Reade came along and put feminists in a tough spot by accusing Joe Biden, #believeallwomen is supposed to be some kind of right-wing plot despite the fact that feminists were the ones that made it popular. Now it’s #believewomen, as if that’s really any different. Even if we use the hashtag #believewomen, this woman we’re supposed to believe lied through her teeth, got caught, and is being hit with the sort of punishment all women that lie about rape should face (after the jail sentences they deserve): A University of Minnesota law professor who was falsely accused of rape in 2017 won a $1.2 million defamation lawsuit filed against his accuser. …According to court records, Parisi and Wright met in 2014 and began an intimate relationship. Later that year, the two agreed to purchase a condo together, but the relationship soon fell apart completely and the prospective property became the subject of several protracted lawsuits.

So, an older gentleman from my hometown, who I've known all my life and am good friends with, got a cancer diagnosis some months ago (not sure what kind exactly, but it's wrapped around his spine). Had a doctor's appointment yesterday, and was told that it's inoperable. They aren't talking hospice just yet, but it's clearly headed that direction.
If I could get him placed on the blog prayer list, I would appreciate it. I don't think he's a reader (though he is Moron-friendly), but he's a good guy and could use the prayers. Posted by: Dr. T at May 24, 2020 10:16 PM (Vgw1E) Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at May 24, 2020 10:16 PM (mht8P) 39
I like Tom Petty's music. "I won't back down" is a favorite. George Harrison came up with the line, "There ain't no easy way out".

During World War II, much of the Berlin Zoo was destroyed.[4] Of the zoo's 16,000 animals, only 96 survived.[4][5] When the aquarium building was destroyed by a bomb on 23 November 1943, 20 to 30 alligators and crocodiles were killed.[4][5] Press reports documented that the streets near the aquarium were littered with alligator and crocodile corpses, but that some, including Saturn, had survived and were wandering through the city in search of food.[4]
*** So imagine your some poor Berlin schmuck. Your city is being bombed and about to be invaded. And as you walk out of your basement to look for food you come face to face with an alligator. Maybe they could give the fall of Berlin the "Death of Stalin" treatment and center it on Saturn and his escape from the destroyed zoo? Posted by: 18-1 at May 24, 2020 10:37 PM (WdocV) 119

--- Apparently 'because they can'. From what I see on twitter, the border sees activity every spring, but this particular spot wasn't previously disputed. China has complained that India building a road in the area (obviously on India's side of the border) is a change in the status quo which they object to.

Thought a bit, here's why the harassment of Indian borders is really stupid for China. First, the land they're trying to grab is really pretty valueless, hilly ground, no real value. The only reason to do is to deliberately piss India off, make them want to retaliate some way.
But how best for India to retaliate? Not militarily over worthless ground, that could cost casualties for no real reason. Better move: The US is about to start all kinds of shit for China, because we're pissed off about Covid. India could turn into one of our biggest international cheerleaders, just because they're pissed off. Real stupid for China not to see that they're risking driving their two biggest competitors into an alliance. Posted by: Tom Servo at May 24, 2020 10:54 PM (V2Yro) 178

115 Dems are losing some of the black vote. I think Dems have kept their racism quiet for the most part but it isn't so quiet any more. As much as the media has tried to portray PDT as racist, his actions speak louder than their words.

It wouldn't surprise me if she were that much of a hypocrite, but it could be a prank.

@paulsperry_ BREAKING: Ex-Deputy FBI Director McCabe wrote that Clapper's staff asked FBI to look up transcripts they'd collected of Flynn-Kislyak phone conversations from Dec 29, 2016. McCabe gave collection to Comey who gave it to Clapper "and Clapper verbally briefed it to President Obama" That noise you heard Is Obama's Squeakhole squeezing so tight if he farted only dogs would hear them Posted by: Ghost of Qassem Soleimani at May 24, 2020 10:54 PM (+ypKa) I see Fort Marcy Park in McCabe's future.

I watched the National Capital concert tonight. It was a little odd because of the shutdowns but had Mantegna and Gary Sinese as hosts of various segments either pre-recorded, recorded in past years, or individual broadcasts.
It got even odder when it started out by thanking the heroes on the front line of the fight against COVID-19. It also was sliding into conflating Memorial Day with Veterans' Day. A lot of thanking our serving military. It is 75 years since the end of WWII so the focus was on that war, they had a segment on the Tuskegee airmen. Neither my husband nor I can remember if the 442 Regiment has ever been featured. Would have thought it might be nice to remember them too.

"I have to admit, I like the idea of Bob Dylan more than the music of Bob Dylan."
The best Bob Dylan song, ever, is "Stuck in the Middle With You". Which is a parody by the band Stealer's Wheel. If your best song is parody of your own work, then your own work can't be all that good. As for Dylan getting the Nobel Prize for Literature, that was the Nobel Committee's cry for help. To place Bob Dylan in the same category as Alexander Solzhenitsyn and T. S. Eliot brings absurdity to a whole new level. But I must admit that his backup musicians, especially The Band, are outstanding. Posted by: Brown Line at May 24, 2020 11:29 PM (S6ArX) 284

Brown Line, "Stuck In The Middle With You" was a deliberate effort by Gerry Rafferty to sound like both Dylan and George Harrison. Rafferty thought that would gain the band a hit, and he was right.
Kind of a prototype of the Traveling Wilburys sound. Rafferty was interesting BTW. He wanted to be a successful recording artist, but supposedly hated playing live, and refused to tour, especially through the US. Posted by: qdpsteve at May 24, 2020 11:32 PM (L2ZTs) 293

being a very un hip (country when country wasn't cool) kid, I was first introduced to Dylan in an English class. He seemed more of a poet than a singer. Still he is probably better known for the lyrics themselves than the quality of his voice.
I do like this version of Pancho and Lefty he did with Willie Nelson. It helps to already know the song lol. But I did like what Dylan did here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fd41cVwl9FY Posted by: Quint at May 24, 2020 11:36 PM (hHxp2) 306

Even her kids have issues w/ her. Too bad she didn't teach them any manners, like saying thank you for gifts, or even acknowledging them. Unless they get better in our old age that will definitely impact their inheritances. The charities we name will like that. Do I sound bitter? Perhaps, but such is life. Always had the model of my paternal grandparents who palled around w/ his his siblings. Such was not to be w/ this poor woman. Posted by: Farmer at May 25, 2020 12:05 AM (nM8bJ) 346

I get along with all of my siblings.... except for my moonbat sister and BIL.
It breaks my heart because we used to be close. And I really like my BIL too. Politics. They always voted Democrat, I suppose, but it wasn't a Big Deal. Then they joined the Church of the Party. They got more an more involved in party politics and it was like a religious conversion or something. *sigh* Posted by: Margarita DeVille at May 25, 2020 12:10 AM (M/9m0) 352
Thread before this one. That pic of the little kid putting out flags at the cemetery. When I was in the Boy Scouts (they weren't all f'd up then) we used to do that. And even as 13 year olds we knew the weight of it. It was solemn, but it was something to be proud of and proud for all those that gave their most precious gift. It was probably the only time we didn't joke around. For some reason, we knew not to. May the good lord bless the families that have sacrificed so much. May he comfort them. May he bless those who have given us so many blessings. May he continue to bless our nation. More than we have probably deserved. But in gratitude may we be humble and look forward in thanks.

Last time I saw my brother (only sibling), was in 1986.
Ain't in no hurry to reverse that, anytime soon. Can't, anyway. He's back in the system again, even at age 65. I don't hate him. Fact is, I still have some form of a familial love for him. Which can only exist with distance and separation. We're talking about someone who was 45 min. late to his own Mom's funeral, 'cause he was too busy getting stoned with his "friends." Thousand miles between us, suits me just fine. Jim Sunk New Dawn Galveston, TX Posted by: Jim at May 25, 2020 12:12 AM (QzJWU) 357

Trumpentwatters amusing and interesting but Don, drop the stupid CDC stuff - it's embarrassing. And kinda confirms your very poor performance in the handling of this since late April, as it suggests you have never stepped back and received any Team B advice.
The *only* people who need to take "precautions" (and few of these as currently pushed are based on any science) are tiny demos who are vulnerable. For everyone else, there is as much reason to hide now as there is every single October at the beginning of flu season. For 20 yrs and under, even less reason. FFS.

Well, I went and did some weed whacking after supper, and ran myself out of pre-cut strings for the weed whacker. But I got the tall grass trimmed down around five storage units at the bottom of my lot. Then I got on the riding mower, and mowed, and mowed, and mowed over the windrows from the weed whacker until it was all mulched and dispersed.
Put the mower away, and took in my laundry from the line. The blue jeans and thick towels were still a touch damp, so I gave them a quick spin in the dryer. All the other stuff was well dried. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at May 25, 2020 12:25 AM (6tRBz) 379

I have been out of the eee-letric meters and multimeters and tools for a long time now, and just happened to stumble on something, and that got me to looking at the newest stuff and trying to get up to speed. Back in the '90s, Iused to drool over Fluke Scopemeters, portable digitial storage scopes. One can do all sorts of fancy shit with those. They cost $Ks, and still do. Top of the line now is pushing $7K. But, some others are making much cheaper ones now. $500 will get you one with all the features of the scopemeters I used to drool over back then. I'm almost about to buy one. But that's not what blew my mind. Fork meters are what blew my mind. Open jawed current measurement, and now Fluke (and some others) are doing open jawed *voltage measurement* with these fork meters. Put a wire inside the fork, and these things will tell you the current flowing and also the voltage to ground. V measurement error seems to be about 3%. I've been trying to find something on how these things work. The open jawed current thing intrigued me. The voltage sensor works by capacitive coupling to ground. What the thing does is generate an internal signal somehow which injected in the wire under test. The voltage signal on that wire distorts that internal field and signal, and the voltage and frequency of the external source can be calculated. These things are just $300 or so.

Interesting, Farage with a subtle shot across the bow, saying Brexit Party forced out May and her useless crew, might have to saddle up (my words) again with Boris if he continues to mishandle the transition out of the EU.

One of the last conversations I had with one of my
brothers, he started with "you're probably not going to like this but...." Then he launched into this dumbass theory that Trump was going to reopen the country so that he can golf, because he golfs every weekend. I pointed out to him that Trump has access to a golf course at Camp David, and owns two golf resorts, one in Florida, and one, I think in New Jersey. He OWNS them. It doesn't matter if they're closed. Anyway, I ended the conversation shortly after that.

The universe is trying to tell you something when you have to just shake your head with disgust - and lack of respect - at the CDC of the US, while observing that *Sweden* and *Denmark* had more savvy technical advice for national leadership.
Denmark - CDC-equivalent advised minimal policies like Sweden, PM decided to go aggressive lockdown instead. And then, apparently, lied about it all. Ooops. And then there's Belarus - the saddest, most corrupt, most dictatorial of the European former Soviet republics. They went Full Monty, no policy reaction to virus - and appear to be experiencing .... exactly the same path as everyone else (though of course as with Iran and a lesser extent Chi-Nah, there are caveats for both 1] corrupt authoritarian system 2] lower levels of technical competence/accuracy).

Andrews used to get a ton of play but when I played it ages ago, it was nothing special. A lot of big wigs play there on the reg though. The original Ft. Belvoir North 18 was designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr I think in 1950. It was a a special place really. Someone decided to wreck it in the 90s and create two 18 hole courses. The argument back then was it would give the troops more opportunity to play. From what I saw, things got worse. They always seemed to have at least on of the courses reserved for a corporate outing.

That said, I've about as much use for the Osteen enterprises as I do for an anal COVID check. Osteen is to Faith, as Hannity is to Politics. A mile wide, but an inch deep. Faith 101, and Politics 101. It's not that they're WRONG. It's that they're shallow. Repetitive, too. The both of them. Advantage: Osteen. At least now n' then, one is brought to find faith in Christ. Gotta count that in the Win column, no matter what. Lesser advantage, Hannity. Give him this. He's like a terrier with a bone. On the good stuff, he's relentless. The pity is, he's also relentless on the irrelevant. I've been a dishwasher and construction worker, too. Ya hear me bitch about it much?

The thumbnail shows a split screen of an MSNBC news host and Bill Nye. Didn't watch, nor did I need to. Bill Nye is right up there with BHO and HRC on my list of people I can't abide. Here are a few things I've learned from YouTube during my time of limbo, alone in a mostly empty house: It appears as if the subject with the most TED Talks devoted to it is boobs. The news announcers covering (mostly L.A.) police pursuits are always CERTAIN the police are going to perform a PIT maneuver, but the police hardly ever do.

I'm going to give the briefest of summaries of a really good book I'm reading, by an author/academic you've most likely not heard of, "Strategic Intelligence and Statecraft", Adda Bozeman, (1992):
American ideals of Freedom and Individual Liberty are uniquely American. We can never change the world to "become more like us." America should always have the mailed fist at the ready, but be prepared to offer a velvet glove when asked. Our intelligence, military and diplomatic failures of late are because we, or rather our policymakers, in our/their hubris fail to understand that. If one wants to read why our policies have failed in the 21st Century, this book lays the reasons out in the late 20th Century. Trying to remake Iraq and Afghanistan into our political image was a huge mistake, as those countries' codification of shari'a law prove. Our failure with China is also explained in an excellent and rational manner, again because we fail to understand Chinese history, be it Confucianism or Legalism. Non-Western and Leninist societies do not value the individual as we do. In those countries, the individual has a responsibility to, and subsumed by, the group, be it familial, caste or tribal. That is our gravest shortcoming as a Nation, thinking that we can remake such countries in the image of America and its societal jurisprudence even though other non-Western and Leninist nations have centuries of political governance quite at odds with those American concepts. The book also delves into language and how the words spoken by various countries may be the same, but the ideas underpinning those words are vastly different. In effect, we are speaking past each other. (We see that play out with our own leftists and their concept of 'justice', e.g.) Good book. Very meaty. Highly recommended, if you can find it. A brief bio of Adda Bozeman (1908 - 1994). One smart cookie. https://preview.tinyurl.com/ya2u3lff Posted by: RickZ at May 25, 2020 03:16 AM (Y8PSl) 489

Lots of times a chimney flashing is existing and new roof material has to reuse it. So the flashing is the oldest part and depends on how the masonry is holding up.

Posting about my soldier hubbies got me to thinking. The first one served in WWII in the Army Air Corps. He could regale a room for hours with tales of the war and made several friends during that time.
Number two (I lost the first one after twenty years) was in 'Nam for a year as a helicopter mechanic. He would not talk about that war nor could he remember the names of anyone he served with save one warrant officer who he swore could fly a helicopter sideways. We don't fight good wars any more.

"The virus is not spreading in the general community," Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of the Center for the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, said in a Jan. 30 briefing. "We don't routinely recommend the use of face masks by the public to prevent respiratory illness. And we certainly are not recommending that at this time for this new virus." Posted by: Moron Robbie - people shouldn't wear face masks according to the CDC, HHS, and the surgeon general at May 25, 2020 05:27 AM Gee, it's almost like these so-called experts don't have any idea what they're talking about and just make shit up from week to week. January, February and March, "masks do not work! Do not buy them!" April and May, masks magically not only work, but you are *required* to wear one everywhere! And these messages have been spread by the same "experts": CDC, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. surgeon general. Anyone have the statement from the CDC completely reversing themselves after their March statement? Would be hilarious to find out what their reasoning was and to see if anyone at all even bothered to take them to task.

Hard to discern the truth anymore even if we get the truth. Would anyone be surprised though? Posted by: freaked at May 25, 2020 07:55 AM I would be extremely surprised. The church, from what I have researched, is in Hyde Park. I think that's Obama's old neighborhood. Hard left neighborhood and Black neighborhood. Considering I have been in contact with my brother regularly throughout this whole lockdown bullshit and he has told me that this has been the easiest time on the job ever, since they are not enforcing jack shit on the south side... yeah, this is a huge surprise, if true.

"But I don't want to look stupid and e-mail him about it if it's some made up bullshit like Gateway Pundit likes to do a lot."
Might you be able to e-mail him and say " I don't want to look stupid, so can you comment on this at all?" He may take it as you recognizing his being a trusted source by you, and even if the story is total BS, be glad to say that it is, without any recrimination toward you.

Has anybody asked Jerry Nadler for his thoughts on Trump being medically diagnosed by the highly qualified Nancy Pelosi as being morbidly obese?

Posted by: Village Idiot's Apprentice at May 25, 2020 08:00 AM Yeah, I will probably take that tact. I tend to keep it light with him anyway when I send him stories I find. "Just another typical day in Chicago, eh?" Or something like that. Typically he doesn't have anything to add to what is known, because almost all the stories I send him are North Side cases. Whenever I start freaking out about stuff going on in Chicago or IL, he just keeps reminding me "Dude, it's like any other day around here on the South Side. No one is acting any differently. Businesses may be closed, but everyone is otherwise out and about as normal. The only difference is we're not being asked to enforce anything at all."

It's not just that Whitmer wants to boat, she opened just that part of the state so she can Vacay but locked the rest down through early June before leaving. Did I mention that some of us just had our homes and businesses washed away by a double dam failure and we can't even go to the dump?

This constant conservative fellating of negroes does nothing worthwhile except show how conservatives have completely accepted the Left's frame on race. How about instead you show a graph or table of actual black voting patterns since LBJ. Because that will prove that Biden was correct and the BET magical negro is as delusional as White conservatives. Biden told the truth, but the truth is now racist is case you haven't gotten the memo.
