To Boldly Go Where No ONT Has Gone Before
So this week (Tuesday to be precise) was the 54th anniversary of the debut of Star Trek (The Man Trap). In many ways the show was quite prescient.

My uncle works for dispatch in my town and he recently told my family of the weirdest call he’s ever gotten. He says that he had received a call from a landline one night and when he answered it there was only static on the other end. This happened two more times. Finally, he calls a squad to go check out the address from the caller ID. When the authorities got there and walked into the house they immediately saw that there was a dead body. The person had been dead for five months. The craziest part about it was that there was no electricity or any other utility working. So there is no way they should have been able to get those calls into dispatch. But if they hadn’t, who knows how long that person’s body would have stayed there.

Puzzle Of The Day
Answer (highlight to read): Luck Be In The Air Tonight
Sad Story A pandemic, a motel without power and a potentially terrifying glimpse of Orlando’s future I weep for the fact that this is all self-inflicted, just so the entrenched political class can hang onto power. Not to say that there aren't always people hanging on the fringes of society, no, but this pandemic panic and lockdowns have certainly created more of them, while at the same time making it that much harder for down and out folks to work their way back in to productive society. 2 More “Best Of” Articles 75 Best Foods in the World, Ranked Take this for what it's worth, steak isn't listed, and neither is lobster or crab. 25 Best Road Trips in the U.S., Ranked Definitely bookmarking this one for future vacation plans.

Are You Ready For Some Football? The NFL season starts tonight. So far I haven't bothered to turn on the game when in years past I would have been glued to the set. I am playing fantasy football this year, but only in the keeper league that I've been part of for 20 years. I would have played in the AoS league, but the commish is AWOL and we couldn't get it going. I'm just not feeling much of an urge to watch, what with all the BLM crap. Maybe it'll be different when the Ravens play Sunday, I dunno. Does anyone know if players knelt for the anthem and if so, how did the crowd react? Tonight's ONT brought to you by drugs:

excerpt:
"Upon becoming Chancellor of Germany, Adolf Hitler had appointed Göring as Minister of the Interior for the State of Prussia, Germany's biggest and most important state, which controlled two thirds of the country, including the capital, Berlin, and the big industrial centers. As Minister of the Interior, Göring thereby had control of the police.
The first thing he did was to prohibit regular uniformed police from interfering with Nazi Brownshirts out in the streets. This meant that innocent German citizens had no one to turn to as they were being beaten up by rowdy young storm troopers drunk with their newfound power and quite often drunk on beer. These young Nazi toughs took full advantage of police leniency to loot shops at will and terrorize Jews or anyone else unfortunate enough to be caught in the wrong place at the wrong time."

From 2004 to 2007 I was at Camp Atterbury, Indiana, which was the mobilization and demobilization point for most of the Army Guard and Reserve units that deployed to the sandbox. In most cases, the units were civilians in uniforms when they deployed, but when they came back, they were soldiers. I presume some of them are still around from that era.

Hiking by an abandoned house, 1960's ranch style but out in the woods next to a rail line and near a ghost town.
Met a forest ranger who said that the station had received phone calls from the place even though there was no power or phone lines left.
It creeped them out so they sent the sheriff deputy to check it out.
No bodies, no people, the phone was off the hook and no dial tone but there was a light on that wasn't plugged in.
He didn't stick around.

That was always the advantage of the old style copper last mile POTS service, the phones would work doing a power outage.
I finally switched the folks over to Charter (Spectrum they want to be called now) voice, and that was one thing they didn't like, but they have cell phones, which can be used in a pinch.
They offer a battery back-up powered modem for the voice service, which, as long as the cable system is still working, will give you a phone (as long as the battery lasts). But they want to charge for it.
You could run it off a UPS.

No, this was just outside Tacoma Water watershed. As places were abandoned and sometimes before, TWP would go in and burn the buildings down.
The ghost town is Lester, just below Stampede Pass. Gone now. The water co tried to keep the forest rangers out with ever larger gates. It's a mixed use area. The rangers responded by ripping the gates out or, once, by dynamiting the gate. An accomodation was reached. They even blew up a hot spring in there to keep people out. This out along the upper Green River.

Put a hold on that hope.
Turns out that a fair number of Stow's classmates think that he's being selfish in putting them in danger, and of protesting in the way that he's done.
Change.org is helping them put together a petition condemning what he's done, and advocating for school organizations that are advocating for 'real' change, such as the Floyd chapter of Students for Climate Action (!!).

Back then in Germany and other Euro countries, "political police" were fairly common. Kind of an odd bird, nothing like the NKVD or the Gestapo or the Kempetai, at least in terms of lethality/brutality/etc. But many states had laws on the books involving what Americans (well, go back a few decades, when it was most Americans) would consider protected political behavior.
The eventual head of the Gestapo, Mueller (no, the other one) was himself from this background, and while he was anti-commie, which stood him in good stead and meant he'd rubbed elbows with some of Adolf's boys in the past, he wasn't even a party member until after he started rising in the power structure.
And many of the Gestapo guys were regular police by background, also not always very political.

Today, three pro-Antifa "reporters" went to very rural Molalla, Oregon, near Portland, which is under a mandatory fire evacuation order, and a different pro-Antifa "reporter" went to nearby very rural Estacada, which is also under a mandatory fire evacuation order.
They both had guns pulled on them by the locals.
One of them wailed "but we were showing our press passes".
Go back to Portland, losers.

The school administration had to send the police to arrest this kid?

Morbidity and especially mortality of C19 among health people under 20 is essentially zero. World-wide.
That ain't gonna change, even if C19 has a seasonal return in late fall, or become endemic at some level.
So these idiotic "educators" and school boards (and the pathetic parents who put up with it, or are just as idiotic) will keep schools closed until the election (not kidding, in LA, the freak cretin health director pegged re-opening to the election) or even after.
No kids will have died.
Then they'll re-open after the new year.
And no kids will die.
And if this pointed out to them, there will be immediate recourse to absurd unscientific make-believe crap like "mitigation worked!".

In an eerie parallel - but apparently a misleading one - the Floyd incident, Bogota police kilt a lawyer by tasing him and *kneeling on his back*, repeatedly (reportedly he even cried out "I can't breathe" - not making this up).
So, possibly, an ACTUAL case of police abuse or gross incompetence.
Oh - the man was in trouble for violating idiotic C19 curfew rules. Wonderful!
So, attacks on police stations ensued, cops shooting "protesters" (not aware of any looting, haven't seen that much info).
Now, it's Colombia. So, an excitability factor must be included. As well as a police incompetence/corruption factor. But anyway.

Char the size of quarters was raining with drifting fine ash that you left tracks walking in like powder snow. This was two nights ago at 1:30 AM.
This fire has murdered 10 so far known. 2000 + buildings lost.
My house made it but there's still a chance the fire can jump or flank the lines and get it.
So can't go back yet.

I ordered a replacement battery for my antique cell (Samsung 4). Via Amazon, but from 3rd party. "Only 1 in stock."
They wouldn't deliver to our PO box, so they'll drive that big ol' delivery truck miles out into the country to bring me a little battery. Hope the driver enjoys the scenery.
Ordered Sep 2. Shipped Sep 6. Delivery was supposed to be today. Checked on the delivery status this morning. Still to be delivered today, it said, "before 9pm." So we were home all day (anyway), waiting.
By afternoon it was not on the truck. Had traveled to Georgia, Kentucky, and was in Oklahoma City. Delivery rescheduled to sometime between the 11th and the 13th!
Just checked - it's now in Tulsa.
If only they had sent it by Pony Express, or bicycle courier! This is no way to run a railroad in the 21st Century.
Sure hope I ordered the right battery!!

Twatter has some new little wobble going on. Used to be, I'd click on one of your links, and see, "sorry, try again". Repeated clicking on the reload button would usually bring up the page.
Now, I'm getting, "This page is not available to you.", with no reload button. But if I close it down, and open it again, the page comes up.

I still haven't read your entire PCR post (owe you 100 push-ups), but of interest, possibly.
FDA/WHO guidance on PCR cycles = 47 (!!).
Henneghan sez above 30 = no infectious level, NIH study said above 34 = no infectious level.
Apparently, various companies using all kinds of different numbers, many above 30.
So we've got both chaos and systematic error at play.
Nice!

Some boos from the COVID-downsized crowd at Arrowhead Stadium were audible.
The fact that players standing together during a moment of silence would cause such a reaction from some of the sport's most devoted fans is one reason the NFL has seemingly stopped worrying about everyone's opinions.
It was a few seconds of respectful demonstration.
And yet still, some objected to it occurring, objected to the quiet views and simple actions of no less than Mahomes and his teammates, who had delivered the city a long-awaited Super Bowl. If that isn't a reasonable or peaceful enough of a "protest" then it's not what the players are doing, but the fact they are doing anything at all.
If nothing else, the scene Thursday, which is expected to play out in various ways across the league this weekend and beyond, is a sign that the NFL is no longer afraid of the backlash from disillusioned fans or Trump himself.
This is how it's going to be, the NFL is saying. Take it or leave it.
We'll leave it, you no talent assclown.

She's got a couple of younger siblings who also need the computer because of THEIR distance schoolwork, plus she can't go to a quiet place like a library to concentrate, and it's driving her nuts. She works late shifts so she can get home around 1 in the morning and do her schoolwork without interruption. Don't tell me she's getting a quality education.

Its supposed to be part of a study about how FB can affect politics.
So the only way that works, is if they pay people on ONE side, not to post, then look at the results.
ergo, they will pay CONSERVATIVES not to post on their site until after the election.
Think about that.

It's because their analysis of your comments and those you have reach to, are detrimental to the Dem narrative.
Hogmartin - saw your comment, that's a bummer about the rolls and registration. How are the politicians getting the data where you are? I'm reluctant to go through the neighborhood taking photos of who has which yard signs (OPSEC), but these phuckers need to suffer. And suffer mightily. Like 60% physical mobility disabled for serving their country suffer. Maybe they'll have skin in the game if they hurt every time they move.
Not that i'm vindictive or anything, but i have trust issues and massive anger and aggression issues from getting phucked by Bearclaw 05s and have every intention of dealing out some retribution should the deletion of lawfare let me.

"Facing Race", a new series, on local NBC affiliate here, KING5.
They just announced it on an ad during the game.
"For anyone who wants to talk about race, it can be terrifying. They're afraid they'll be called 'racist', they're afraid they'll offend someone..."
Then the other black woman, a local reporter for over 30 years (and someone I thought relatively highly of) says "this is a show for people who want to be brave, and challenge themselves to learn more about people who don't look like them."
First black woman again: "It's an opportunity to have those open conversations without fear of getting it wrong."
No, I will talk with anyone, and the discussion from my side will be fact-based, not emotion-based. You want brave? Tell the truth, and back it with facts. Not emotions.
I fear we are too far down the road of false reality to survive as a civilization. I didn't think that even 6 months ago, but do now.

Yup. Still somewhat jarring to know that's just on the other side of town, kinda sorta. I'm sure there are similar places a lot closer to stately Casa Backwardio. That just goes so against the carefully crafted image the city fathers and mothers down here have cultivated in order to attract tourista lucre.

The other day, the neighbor brought us a zucchini - a very large one that had been hiding under the leaves, as zuccs are sometimes known to do. They didn't know what to do with it.
My lady love did, though. Tonight, Milady shredded it up for quiche and muffins. Any real man who doesn't like quiche* hasn't had Milady's. YUM!
*It's just egg pie, Rambo.
We used to have a restau.. um, no... well, this place where we sold food. We had a dish called "Quiche and Quinoa." The sign blurb (I loved making the adverts) said, "Say: 'keesh and keen-wah!" Surprisingly popular.

--My comment at Frontpagemag:
What have we learned from 9/11?
Sorry, gotta get bitter and dark:
We learned that we need to show The Religion of Peace how peaceful we are by allowing more of them in in the last 19 years than in our entire history hitherto.
We learned that security at the actual borders of Western nations is less important than hardening streets, airports, and marketplaces with bollards, getting handsy with grandmoms and nuns at security checkpoints, and making law-abiding citizens have to pack liquids in zippable bags.
It appears to me that we've learnt jack-shit.

The genetic sequencing data is probably reliable. The epidemiological data is far less reliable. The cause-of-death data is worthless. That's why the Woodward hit means nothing: nobody knows much for sure now, and nobody COULD know much back then. Anybody who thinks they could have decided better back then, is just full of it.

This is where the left gets so lost in their own BS that they don't even know what they're saying anymore. So they're claiming, using their own numbers, that a disease that causes 1 death for every 250,000 cases is something we should all be terrified of? That's a fraction of what any normal flu has - yeah, the kinds that we all have lived with all of our lives up until now.

Posted by: Winston, dreg of society at September 11, 2020 12:02 AM (d9Irc)
Agreed, the only reason I saw that was because KING5 was showing the game.
I have to say, the game was garbage anyway, but I had no emotion of any kind watching this game, mostly TV noise in the background.
In previous years, I could always get up to watch a game, even if it is 2 teams I know little about.
Next year, supposedly a new TV contract goes into effect that doubles TV revenue. It was negotiated over a year ago, and wonder how it will change after a year of empty stadiums and poor ratings. It won't be what they originally thought it was.

So I went into a store I won't name, but they peddle work-wear, and casual wear, mostly. There were plenty of shoes on display, many marked SALE!, but no prices on the sale shoes. Regular price shoes were priced. How the Hell do you price compare when prices are not marked? A sales critter shows up (breaks surface and blows would work, too). Female, six inches shorter than me, and outweighs me by at least 50 pounds, and I am quite fluffy. Tats, of course. "Can I help you?" "Well, I'd like to price-compare some shoes here, but all the sale-priced shoes don't have prices marked." "They didn't send us the right price tags." "Have you ever heard of a Sharpie marker?" "That wouldn't look professional." "Well, if you can't figure out a work-around for that, I guess I will take my business elsewhere. Good Day."

I bought my AM B-25B kit at the recommendation of a coworker/friend in around 2008 or so. It sat in the "bottomless project closet" until about 2018, and now I pick at it here and there. It's such a gorgeous kit, I want to make sure I don't mess anything up. I do trains, not planes, so a complex kit like this is a real challenge for me. At the rate I'm going, it may be ready to display for the centennial celebration of Doolittle's Raid...

I think that is ungenerous. Insom reminds me of my Mammaw. Warm and big hearted, but could be given to being... obsessively negative under the right circumstances. I do not think either is a case of trying to be manipulative, but rather on the one hand trying to exert some control over that which they have no control over, as well as looking for reassurance.
You could look at that as manipulative, but a hell of a lot of social interactions can be looked at as manipulative if you want to do so.

I think he has his email linked in his name if you check earlier threads.

Probably not. A lot of people use online commenting to fill the void and work through problems like going to the village wiseman, shaman, priest or therapist used to fill.
The tough love approach can work in some cases, but in this one, I think just not indulging some of the worst excesses is probably the best way to go. There is a good dude there, able to display wit and intelligence on a variety of topics- that is where he shines. But he has hot button topics that will send him into a tail spin.
I think an encouraging step was that he had booked a flight to the TXMOME. THAT I think could be really good for him. Break into meatspace, as it were.

In retrospect, W's greatest mistake was not cleansing the "intelligence community" with fire after the intelligence fiasco of 9/11 - mass firings, prosecutions when appropriate, and reshaping the bloated intelligence bureaucracy into something that was actually functional.
The fact that no one was fired after 9/11 led the "intelligence community" to think that it was bulletproof, and led directly to an attempted and ongoing coup against the President of the United States, because they were so arrogant that they thought that they could get away with it.

This goes to the core. It IS the Core.
The intel failures around 9/11 should have put some highly placed senior operatives up against the wall.
No trial, no due process, no recognition of their "sacrifice" and SEVERE warnings to their families to shut up, evermore.
And yes.
Bill them for the price of the bullets.
CATASTROPHIC National Security Intel Failures should ALWAYS come with a frightful price.
Always.

...
2) Count your blessings. Pray for a few of the billions of people far less fortunate than you; it will make your own problems less burdensome, even if you don't believe your prayers are heard.
...
5) I'm so very glad that you found a job! Now use that as a springboard to move to a career that doesn't drive you crazier. I was an office programming drone for 35 years. It is a soul-crushing occupation. Now retired, I found a part-time job doing manual labor for an elderly rural resident: clearing brush, building fences, digging post-holes, hauling junk, repairing lawn tractors, etc. Manual labor can be more satisfying and confidence-building than any office or remote-drone job. Manual labor co-workers can be far more tolerable and far happier people than office co-workers. Labor also forces physical exercise.
6) Declutter. Get rid of every possession you don't REALLY use. Don't stop until you can see the walls again. Have you got a huge library of books that you know you'll never read? Pitch them, because they are an unneeded source of guilt. Any book you decide you really want to read or reread, it's either on the internet or at the library, for free. Same goes for movies and music. In general, resist the urge to collect things other than financial assets.
...
If you listen to music, try choosing only music you've never heard before. (A former punker, nearly deaf, I now prefer classical, jazz, and sacred music, selected from the 99.999% of composers and pieces I never even knew of before. It's all online now, including the most obscure overlooked stuff.) My point is: familiar music only brings back the same old familiar feelings and memories.
9) Read scripture. It contains immutable wisdom about human nature, the human condition, and right ways of living, even for wretches like me who have no faith. Some of it is useful to you, and to everybody.

With "counterterrorism specialist" and deputy executive director of the CIA in 2001, John Brennan, first in line.
He managed to completely boot 9/11, was made head of the CIA, and then got all our spies in China executed due to poor communications security. Streling record.

Yes indeed and that is why after 15 years of posting and constantly being encouraged and I'm sorry to say, patted on the head, I think insom has bought into his aoshq persona and now, in some ways, truly believes his past,present and future sucks.
He is a thousand times smarter and wittier than I am and his knowledge of pop culture, music, movies, etc leads one to believe that he must have some enjoyment outside of commenting here and that it's not all doom and gloom 24/7.

I've sat at beers at the bar, and have dined with the man. He is far more the mensch than might otherwise be imagined, here.
Further.
I've explored his mind "at law". I'm one of the better laymen in this regard, being asked only yesterday by my local attorney, why I was not his partner at law.
Insomniac has IT going on. And is only frustrated by a previous life of restraint and restriction.

Mammaw. Warm and big hearted, but could be given to being... obsessively
negative under the right circumstances. I do not think either is a case
of trying to be manipulative, but rather on the one hand trying to
exert some control over that which they have no control over, as well as
looking for reassurance.
You could look at that as manipulative, but a hell of a lot of
social interactions can be looked at as manipulative if you want to do
so.

Bingo. I have a friend who was a carbon copy of Insom. Went through all the same shit, and they are pretty indistinguishable from each other in their choice of words, descriptions, complaints, events, questions, regrets etc etc. Its like they wear each other's meat suit, except my friend died last summer. He went through hell. He was on top of the world, and in a blink of an eye homeless talking to trees in the woods, and I'm dead serious. He went through the mill. In the end he gave up. He wasn't a control freak, was a very down to earth dude, but spent the rest of his days trying to make sense of what happened. The problem was his whole life seemed to be planned by everybody but him, and he followed their blue print, did it all right, did what was expected, and life put a shotgun in his ass and pulled the trigger. He felt his life was a lie, everything he was told was a lie, he marched to their beat, and when it fell apart they all turned their back on him. Its not a good place to be. It's why I worry about insom.

Here is a guaranteed bet:
After the fire season is over on the Left Coast, no government agency or official will put out a bid to cut down those dead trees and turn them into lumber products. Which will greatly decrease fire danger in future years.
Lumber people have told me those trees need to be harvested within 2 years, or they will be worthless rot. And a great source for various bug infestations. "But the dying trees are natural! and removing trees will starve the soil!"
There will still be all the stumps, and lots of branches to decompose into the soil, idiots.
No, bet on wasting billions of dead trees and supporting bug infestations.
It's so effing sad.

Alfred Hitchcock was a riot. MeTV runs his old shows, and he always started out with an introduction where he did some very dry humor, and usually got digs in at sponsors and commercials.
This time he appears with a monkey at a typewriter, riffing off all the old monkeys typing would eventually type out Shakespeare thing. He says that's not true, they haven't produced any classics yet...but they do make acceptable material for the show.
He points at the monkey and says this one just types gibberish, but that's only because he hasn't mastered the typewriter yet, but has a flare for dialog nonetheless. Then he says we're now going to sample his work, which is the upcoming commercial.
At the ending, he's back with the monkey and announces he just isn't cut out for writing because he just can't get the hang of the typewriter. So they made him a producer. Which they had to, because his uncle owns the studio.

Zucker, et all got Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges, and Leslie Nielsen to play their typical serious tough-guy personas obliviously to the absurdist stuff they were doing.

And if even a million marched on Sacramento, it would be Game Over to that administration.
I should talk though. Even my fellow Texicans have wilted like unwatered lilies under the Goobantorian Edicts.
We should start with mass mask-burnings. And move right on to fully open restaurants, bars and everything else.
And if the Texas Alcohol Control Board "suspends" a license? Work some black market magic into the wholesale suppliers distribution chain.
It'll only work if everyone rebels at every level.

I've said this before in another conversation, but it maybe bears repeating: If you get physically sick, people feel bad for you; if you become mentally unwell, people just think you are an asshole who refuses to change or turn that frown upside down.
Maybe he ought to see a professional. I'm not a huge fan of psychiatrists or psych medications, but some people really do need one or both. Now that he's gainfully employed again, maybe he could benefit from this kind of help.

I pray there will be a solution to this MLIA. There are no "easy" times. But I can't even remember when my loved one could walk down the stairs. I take that back, I recall when people said they would never ride in a car with him again. I recall having to take his keys away.
I mentioned this before but you should never take all their keys away. Take the car key sure, but never all of them. It is an infantilizing move and doesn't help at all. You have to be strategic.
I hope beyond hope that they find cures that were unavailable in my time. The thing is, it never gets better. The best back in the day was a respite. I hope for you it is different.

The majority of hate comes from the left. They say they are against hate, but they mean those who are not in on the revolution. In America, you get to chose your own views and until now no one would dare call you hateful.
When I see a sign saying they are against generic hate. I know they are ultra lefties and they assume anyone who thinks differently is hate filled.

Well, my little story from that Day of Days tells a slightly different tale.
I worked in lower mid-town Manhattan, 17th St. and 5th Ave. Watched the towers collapse right in front of my eyes. So I'm standing in the middle of 5th Ave, with a crowd of people watching the horror unfold and this young black kid, around 20-25, tells me, 'It's all our fault, my man'. I tell him to politely fuck off. He goes into an anti-American rant. I start to ball my fists getting ready to slug the asshole. A fireman from the firehouse around the corner on 18th St. (who I didn't know was there) whispers in my ear, 'I heard what he said and I've got your back.' Didn't knock the ever-loving shit out him though I have regretted that decision ever since.
No, not everyone was united that day as I ran into my first America-hating moonbat as the Towers fell.

the key is to give them solace and keep their mind engaged. I hate to think of those who are left alone and with no structure. I know that it not you case but for many it is I fear.
This might be the worst disease that ever came down the pike because of the damage it does to the aggrieved and those caring for them. You have to relearn everything. The Socratic Method has to be thrown out completely. The only real option I know of is to give them solace.

While I wasn't downtown dealing with a toxic dust cloud, or worse, I have stories from that day.
My hatred has never left, so hatred is not a weakness. Hatred, done right, is steel in one's spine.
One more little story I'll relate, as I don't want to bore people, was my trying to reach my parents in Virginia. I could not get a line through to Norfolk. So I decided to call my Aunt in West By God to get my Cuz' work number. I got through to her and got through to my Cuz. The person who picked up the work phone asked who I was when I asked for John. All I heard was an 'Oh, shit! John, it's your cousin in New York City!' I had my Cuz call my Mom to let her know I was okay.

few hours before it happened and someone woke me up. As I tried to
think it through I said something about the stock market. I was not
being cold, but that was what I had been working on. I got most of my
news from CNBC back then.
I drove near the
Pentagon later and the drive up was a ghost town. The Building was
smoking and many people stopped while trying to figure this thing out.
i won't say i had hate but there was determination. It was time to strike back.

At one point after the Towers fell, some jets came screaming down 5th Ave, not very high. People around me on the street literally started to panic. Growing up in Norfolk, I knew they were ours and told those around me that and to not worry. But I could see the panic in their eyes at the sound of those air cover jets flying overhead.

'get it' for that moment, but then it's gone. And the next time it's
show her, explain to her, again. Every time.

i am not expert but I am an expert in what I experienced. We actually used child learning stuff like reading basic stuff and identifying it for some time. If they could do it, good, it is better than lying in bed or looking at the wall.
But the thing I know for sure doesn't work is trying to reason with an Alzheimer's patient, at for sure if the disease had progressed. The best idea is to give them solace however you can. For my dad he loved music. The thing they love most is the last thing they lose it seems. He was also good with numbers and could do times tables long after he had a clue who you were or if you had kids or not. I don't like talking about this and hope i am not being morbid. I wish it were different. But it can help to offer then an environment they can respond to. For my dad, it was music.
We need to beat this thing. It is so catastrophic that it is it rarely mentioned in public discourse. I hope the best for you and her and again, try to find someone to give you a break.

the press will try to crucify Chiefs fans. I don't go in for booing but that is something particular my school taught. It was a different situation though, it was not about on field play.
The talking points will be about fans booing unity. That is ironic and false but that is what they are going to go with. The Texans, the team going for most woke in the the NFL didn't even come out for the National Anthem. Then they put up about six lefty sayings while otherizing people with a different view. We all are against racism, and think black lives matter. But we don't have to support a Marxist organization and proclaim the country is systemically racist.
There was no unity or desire for unity. If there was unity, show some comments about the flag and our great nation. Don't give me the unity bs when you only want us to be unified as Marxist Leftists who think the country should be undone. Where is the unity in that? Unity means coming together. They only want you to bend the knee, and they will call it unity. They only want you to vote for Biden, and they will call it unity.
Many of these people, particularly the players, are clueless and getting pushed around by others. In the American I know, you have free speech. Unity my ass when you try to call your political opponents the enemy and racist. These leagues need to go down because they don't even have the balls of a company like Goya.

The Texans are vying for the most woke in the league. The Houston I knew was the Houston of Urban Cowboy. Today it is ultra lefty and their politicos rival anyone from San Francisco.
I used to like the Oilers as I liked Warren Moon. But this thing means nothing to me regardless of any connection I had with the city long ago.
People don't like the Cowboys and that will never change. They are loved by many and hated by everyone else. But there is no doubt that their team is the least woke and most resistant to this crap. But the league has gone all in and will not be changing. The Cowboys can only hold off for a while and that is about it. All the leagues have decided BlM, the political organization, is are part of their brand.
