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
“We have to keep safe, but if you’re going to wear [a mask], you might as well wear it in style. You want to look good in it.” Yosel Tiefenbrun
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

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.

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.

Bob Dylan (Robert Zimmerman), American singer-songwriter, author, and painter. Dylan has released over 40 albums since 1964, and was a major influence on The Beatles. His biggest hits are the 1965 US No.2 single 'Like A Rolling Stone', the 1969 UK No.5 single 'Lay Lady Lay', and his 1964 UK No.1 album The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan.

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.

#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.

Tommy Tuberville used to coach at Auburn. He used to cry and cry when Auburn would get shut out of a spot in the BCS and is an all around douchebag but compared to Rip Van Sessions he is a ray of sunshine.

Her Majesty and I went out for breakfast yesterday. They're at 50% seating but their full menu is back. Our server didn't seem too sure about what she was doing but she tried.
We're regulars at this cafe, so the manager came over and thanked us for coming in. He said his principal problem was getting enough workers. Only two servers pre-shutdown had returned - they were making more on UI - and the kitchen staff was having to take over waiting tables. We left a good tip anyway.

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?

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.
It's not clear whether India's doing much of anything to stop them.

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.

May 4, 2020, Matt Pottinger, *Deputy National Security Adviser to POTUS addressed the Chinese people in perfect Mandarin from the University of Virginia (Jefferson's school) to American and China bypassing all of the CCP's filters speaking directly to the **people of China.
"...connecting the great philosophical movements of the Judeau Christian west with the underpinnings of the philosophy of ancient China"
*(Kissinger's job with Nixon)
**China's population, 1.39 billion
# of Chinese members of CCP, 90 million

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.

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.

Evening Robert,
My siblings and I have gone thru periods of time without speaking because of anger, but eventually get over it. Family is very important to me. For the most part we can deal with politics, religion is where we have to agree to disagree.
Sadly I remember a time that I didn't speak to my brother over an issue, we got over it, but I now think it was a bad example to my daughter who now is not speaking to me.

In France, you can qualify for big time financial assistance if you arrive in the country as an unaccompanied minor asylum seeker. You have to be a teen. Those two are, most definitely, not teenagers. Just look at their picture the link. It's gotten so bad in France, that they have just started to give bone tests to prove age.

Evening Robert,
My siblings and I have gone thru periods of time without speaking because of anger, but eventually get over it. Family is very important to me. For the most part we can deal with politics, religion is where we have to agree to disagree.
Sadly I remember a time that I didn't speak to my brother over an issue, we got over it, but I now think it was a bad example to my daughter who now is not speaking to me.
Posted by: AmericanKestrel at May 24, 2020 11:42 PM (IDhUW)
My brother can infuriate me like no other. I can get along with him in small doses but the countdown is always on until he says something so fucking stupid that I lose my shit. It's a strange gift he has. The bad thing is that I have a pretty good knack for knowing what they'll be; he's not a deep well.

My sister died almost a year ago to the day.
We had been estranged for years, but, just before she died, we managed to start talking again and parted on good terms.
One part of me thinks we needed more time, the other thinks we had just enough.

In my family there were 3 girls and 3 boys. Interestingly, we 3 girls are more conservative than my 2 surviving brothers. My brothers are sorta republican, but weak. I think they both voted for Hillary. I steer away from talking politics with them because I get a bit mean. If I got into a conversation about Whitmer, I'd probably get arrested on an obscenity charge.

My/our relationship is kinda "meh". It's due to my SIL who is an insecure neurotic bitch. 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.

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."

Mine with my older sister is a bit odd. She's 2 1/2 years older, and remembers me as a young kid.
I might not call her for months, but sooner or later she'll call to check up on me, and I am reminded that she worries about me, because, little brother.
I think it has always been like that, but it's just not an emotion that I feel, and I forget that she feels a sisterly love/obligation to look after me. I'm always a little ashamed when she calls, it's a bit humbling.

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.

Arny Navy Arlington is a pretty nice course but in a bad neighborhood. 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.

Many a cherished hymn was sung to the tune of a bawdy bar song, all through the 1700s till today.
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.

Anyway, there was a video in the YT news feed titled: "Coronavirus Pandemic Illustrates the Importance of Scientific Literacy". 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 think they just like saying "PIT maneuver".

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.

She was on a more even keel for about 2 weeks, but this weekend when I was there she was on the downslide again. I swear it comes in waves.

I've never had to deal with finding a leak around the chimney area. That isn't usual "wear-and-tear". That's more like a construction goof.

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.

If the media does not report it, how many people in IL even know about the pay raise? I would guess it's around 10%.
So yeah, easy re-election for these despicable crooks.
But, in this day and age of having information literally in the palm of your hand, I blame the people of IL. If they really cared, they would keep up to speed on this stuff and vote accordingly. Since they don't, they are getting the representation (or lack there of) they deserve.

They aren't wrong. Sure there may be a 1.5% change that would be nationwide news, but the fact that 98.5% remains unchanged is the real story.

They do vote to reject the pay raises sometimes when there's a severe budget crisis, although in IL there is ALWAYS a severe budget crisis. Don't know why they didn't do it this time....

I suppose JJ will cover the black church in Chicago being raided yesterday. They locked the doors so the cops couldn't get in. Heh.

So I'm researching this and I cannot find anything on it other than 2 posts that originate back to some Todd Starnes website. Who doesn't link to any news article.
https://bit.ly/2ZwmZct
So is this even true?
One would think that if this happened:
Mayor Lori Lightfoot had dispatched three squad cards and two unmarked cars filled with armed officers. A representative from the mayor's office was also present.
There would be news about this everywhere.

Thanks a lot!
This time of the year, I need to mow about every 5 days instead or once a week.
Of course in July, it will be dry, and I'll be complaining about having to water.
I'll take the mowing. It's over with in 2 hours

The Tara Reade story was all over conservative blogs and Twitter.
This... nothing but Todd Starnes.
Reason I am interested is that this is my police officer brother's area of Chicago he patrols. So he may have been involved or at least know of it.
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.

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.

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.

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."
