Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Tuesday Overnight Open Thread (1/26/21)"It really looks like straight men and women don't like each other very much, that women spend so much time complaining about men, and we still have so much evidence of misogyny," or woman-hating behavior. From an LGBT perspective, [being straight] looks actually very tragic." University of California-Riverside Gender and Sexuality Studies Professor Jane Ward Quote II Grief can take care of itself, but to get the full value of a joy you must have somebody to divide it with. Mark Twain Quote III “If you pass a piece of legislation that breaks down on party lines, but it gets passed, that doesn’t mean there wasn’t unity,” White House Occupant Joe Biden “None of us on either side want to live in a scorched-earth Senate. This gambit would not speed the Democrats’ ambitions. It would delay them terribly. Sen. Mitch McConnell (China Whore- KY) Quote V “Restaurants cannot sustain themselves or their employees when they operate with strict capacity limits, which means the state should long ago have crafted a comprehensive aid package to help these small businesses hibernate.” California Restaurant Association CEO Jot Condie If you still have deep feelings for each other during the lows, then the highs could be amazing.’ Relationships Coach and author of Happy Relationships Sam Owen Quote VII “During the Trump Administration, for all ammunition companies, it was a tough business. The industry was over capacity and that leads companies to not invest in expansion or refrain from capital expenditures that may be needed.” Vista Outdoor President of Ammunition Jason Vanderbrink MEN ARE LOSING THE ABILITY TO REPRODUCE, RESEARCHER WARNS I'm so happy that my dating life is behind me and I don't live in Russia. Speaking of relationships:Be careful out there. One in five people in the United States has a sexually transmitted infection, according to estimates released Monday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That means nearly 68 million people are positive for STIs, including HIV, herpes, chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis, agency data, also published in the journal Sexually Transmitted Diseases, showed. Anger is a luxury none of us can afford today, especially spouses. Husband stabbed repeatedly by his wife after she finds photo of him with young skinny girl, turns out it's an old picture of her. Well it's happened again. Another conservative voice has been banned from Twitter. It is time to deplatform every fucking leftist we can. Twitter has permanently suspended the account of MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell. Newsweek reported Lindell's account was removed by Twitter for alleged violations of the platform's misinformation policy. Lindell, a vocal supporter of former President Donald Trump, has claimed there was voter fraud during the presidential election. And he has maintained fraud led to Trump's election loss. Lindell has noted that Bed Bath & Beyond, Kohl's, HEB Stores, Wayfair, and Canadian channel Today's Shopping Choice had all stopped selling his products.See yesterday's thread by Buck Throckmorton. But please don't comment there. Just because you want something to happen doesn't mean it will. And contrary to Joe Biden's delusional mind, he doesn't have a magic fucking wand. U.S. President Joe Biden committed on Monday to replacing the entire federal fleet of vehicles, including cars, trucks and SUVs, with electric ones manufactured in the United States. It’s a massive undertaking. In 2019, the federal fleet was made up of more than 645,000 vehicles, including 224,000 passenger cars and more than 412,000 trucks, TechCrunch reports — including hundreds of thousands of Post Office vehicles alone. The move is part of Biden’s Made in America executive order, a greater effort to create one million new jobs in the American auto industry. I want to see see Air Force One electrified. I bet #LearnToCode is more difficult than #LearnToJournalist or sucking d*ck like former mayor Butt Plug. After killing the Keystone pipeline and 11,000 union jobs, Transportation Secretary nominee Pete Buttigieg said those workers will need to get “different ones.” Biden is eliminating good American jobs in the middle of a pandemic, endangering American energy independence, and likely causing a rise in gas prices. As of now, there are no jobs for the newly unemployed pipeline workers. Instead of pandering to the Far Left, Biden should focus on helping all Americans stay employed. When one looks at a situation like Monday's insanity-fueled, retail induced short squeeze across the board, one must ask: who are the government officials that have allowed this to happen and what have they been doing during the time they should be regulating such multiple-sigma market absurdities? Allow us to offer a partial answer. If you were Nancy Pelosi and her husband, you were buying call options in names like Apple, Tesla and Disney. That's what a new disclosure, detailed in Barron's, revealed late last week. Paul Pelosi purchased LEAPS in Tesla, Apple and Disney and shares in AllianceBernstein on December 22, the disclosure revealed. In other words, it's not just clueless retail Robinhood investors that are speculating; it's also clueless politicians. PepsiCo, the planetary purveyor of sugary drinks, greasy chips, and (weirdly) oatmeal, hummus, and gazpacho(?) is partnering with Beyond Meat, the publicly traded plant-based protein provider, on a poorly named joint venture to hawk new plant-based food and beverages to consumers. The PLANeT Partnership (which was clearly branded by the same genius behind the comic sans font), will combine Beyond Meat’s skills with protein prestidigitation and PepsiCo’s marketing and manufacturing savvy to flood the global market with new snacks and drinks, the two companies said. Neither company disclosed any financial terms and other pesky details around who, what, where, and when, except to say that the the joint venture operations will be managed through the newly created PLANeT Partnership. As the “science” around Covid-19 continues to evolve over the course of a year of debilitating lockdowns and mask ordinances, “experts” in China are now recommending anal swabs inserted rectally to detect traces of Covid as opposed to serum antibody tests and nasal and throat swabs. Beijing disease specialist at You’an Hospital’s Li Tongzeng stated, “What we’ve found is that in some infected patients, the coronavirus survives for a longer period of time in their digestive tract or excrement than in their respiratory tract.” This digestive longevity leads Li and other experts to believe that anal swabs may be more effective.

It's been so long since I was here. It's worse than I remembered. I had blocked it all out! ___ Baby-tossing bottom pic: Once watched my kinda-wild oldest brother (RIP) help my very little boy crawl out onto a dangerous precipice. Since panic wouldn't help, and I didn't want to distract them by yelling... I just filmed it. They got back okay. My stomach untightened. Sometimes you have no choice but to trust. But I still wouldn't toss that baby like that.

I laughed until I cried---actually cried--tonight.
I had internet problems and called my provider. I got a woman with a strong accent on the phone. Every time she spoke I heard loud screeching in the background. I said--is that a ROOSTER??? She said--it is neighbor's rooster. It is morning in the Philippines. She went on to try to solve my problem, but every time she spoke the rooster crowed. It sounded like it was in her lap. I was laughing so hard I couldn't talk, and she couldn't talk over the rooster. We finally gave up. I'm still laughing. Posted by: Ladyl at January 26, 2021 10:24 PM (TdMsT) 92

"During the Trump Administration, for all ammunition companies, it was a tough business. The industry was over capacity and that leads companies to not invest in expansion or refrain from capital expenditures that may be needed."
==== Two years ago, all of the big Interweb gun and ammo outfits sent sales or free-shipping offers to me, almost daily, by email. Free shipping on any quantity of ammo and bullets, that are, of course, pretty heavy. Incredible deal. Brownell's had weekly, one-day, 10% off everything sales, including all in-stock firearms! I made some sweet purchases gun from them with that incentive, I can tell you, during the spring of 2019!

My recent smart move... I noticed that there was pretty much a complete news blackout on Trump's Middle East peace deals, no analysis, no comments in the media. The investment community is all Dem. How did Trump do it? I think commercial appeal, Israel is world leader in science, tech, medicine, water desalination, nuclear, agriculture, the muslim states were sold on prospering through cooperation and trade. There was a news story today confirming that, the UAE is doing big things with Israel, so I pounded all my loose cash into Israeli ETFs and they're steadily up about 20%.

Is anyone here old enough to remember Network with Peter Finch? I'm thinking of the scene where he went live on television, calling for people to show their anger. He wanted people to open their windows and shout "I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore". I'm suggesting that rather than applauding our heroic health frontline workers, banging pots and pans, we should do as the Finch character says. How about Thursday evening at 20.00 local time?
Why? It's simple, If enough people do this it will recruit more, more of those sitting at home worrying about the future. If pushback reaches a critical mass their response becomes our recruiting sergeant. https://youtu.be/WINDtlPXmmE I'm throwing this idea around the blogs I visit.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, all the non-leftists that already have been or think they might be canceled need to band together and form their own economic bloc.

U.S. President Joe Biden committed on Monday to replacing the entire federal fleet of vehicles, including cars, trucks and SUVs, with electric ones...
******** This is fantastic and so super-duper green. Hundreds of thousand of new vehicles - with rare earth metals mined in horrible 3rd world countries - that might last for 3 years tops before being auctioned off for nothing because the batteries are shot and no one wants them. That's not a joke. You can go to craigslist right now and find all the three to four year old $45K Nissan Leafs that you want for $10K-15K. They're worn out unknown quantities now. Compare that to internal combustion engines that will run for decades, and which hundreds of thousands of low income families rely on and can afford. Instead we'll build brand new vehicles for the feds every three years and throw the old ones away, and we'll do it all to save the environment.

Prices for anything good are skyrocketing right now. Lots of folks have been driven out of business by a combination of the cancel culture (don't you DARE say anything Conservative of the SCA Twitter Nazi's will swarm you), and the lack of shows due to the Covid shut down. Posted by: Romeo13 at January 26, 2021 11:25 PM (oHd/0) That's unfortunate. I've been eyeballing a couple of rapiers over the years but never got around to buying them. The last time I bought a bunch of swords was right before Hanwei's factory burned down and everyone's prices suddenly doubled; I've got a sinking feeling that all this money-pumping is going to cause some INSANE inflation in the next three years so I should probably see about converting some more paper into steel.

Those Postal Service Jeeps are 2 wheel drive, three speed automatic transmission facsimiles of a Real Jeep. Though engineered for long life, the suspension would be woefully inadequate for any upgrade to 4x4 for off road use.
So, upgrading a Postal Jeep would require at least a new transmission, transfer case, front differential, maybe changing steering to left side control. ALL of the suspension and brakes would have to be changed, from the frame rails down. And the interior "comforts" in those are straight up 1960s finest. The sliding doors on those are also drafty, noisy and not all that weather tight. For all that though? They work GREAT on farm & ranch as a non-road titled utility goat.

Posted by: redc1c4 (Biden Cheated!) at January 26, 2021 10:35 PM (tdA/m) I've noted this before, but one of the best lessons I learned as a young lad was the value of unions. In this case, the unions drove Kroger from San Antonio and Austin. See, back around late 1992/early 1993 the chain had stores in both cities. H-E-B was squeezing them pretty good in terms of competition. Kroger decided to talk to the unions about wage freezes/cuts, until such time that the situation improved. And most of the unions, seeing the writing on the wall and not wanting to commit business suicide, signed on. All, that is, but the meat cutters. They would not budge and decided to take the adversarial approach to Kroger. They didn't strike, but they flat refused to do anything to help the situation because Kroger is evl and greedy, you see. So, after some months of this, Kroger just said "fuckit" and had all their stores closed. By the end of August 1993, they left the area.

In taking an adversarial stance against Kroger, they coughed up the union dues paid for by the labor they "represented". This was a big lesson for me and has colored how I see unions since.

I have believed for a long time that the idiocy -- the diversity mandates, the sustainability goals, the mentally ill who don't know which bathroom to use -- is a sign that we are such an affluent society that we can afford to tolerate this kind of frivolity. So a little bit of it is something to be celebrated: Hey, look at how rich we are, we can pay this idiot to spout ridiculous nonsense in the classroom and publish nonsense in academic journals. But at some point, the inmates took charge of the asylum. We need some hard times to straighten society out.

"Hard times" probably won't "straighten society out", I don't think. Look at this in detail.
"Diversity" = racist tokenism and nose-counting by skin color and substituting this for the literal basis of our society and civic culture, the individual. "Transgender" nonsense involves a tiny invisible sliver of the populace, and is just indulging mental illness, or, indulging individual choice far far beyond the civilized norms everyone else lives by. A stagnant economy like we will now have thanks to, inter alia, the idiocy of the American people, the collapse of the country's institutions, and the uselessness of the GOP won't put any dent in any of this. Instead, whereas Trump was a pause and a chance at recovery towards decency and sanity (barring "critical race theory" crackpot racist indoctrination, for example), that's now gone, and Obama's 3rd term/Hillary's first term (what we have now) is extremely unlikely to see the lazy shiftless approach to some of these toxic attacks on a healthy society of Obama's first 2 terms.

"It really looks like straight men and women don't like each other very much, that women spend so much time complaining about men, and we still have so much evidence of misogyny," or woman-hating behavior. From an LGBT perspective, [being straight] looks actually very tragic." University of California-Riverside Gender and Sexuality Studies Professor Jane Ward
---------------------- I've known a lot of lesbians. Many of them hate men far more than any straight woman I've ever met. The same goes for gay men hating women. But most of all they have contempt for each other. Lesbians look down on gay men and gay men laugh at lesbians. There's no such thing as an LGBT "Community," it's nothing but PR. This whole "tolerant, well adjusted homosexual" thing is a myth. I've never seen more domestic abuse, drunk driving, racism, alcoholism, drug abuse and just general disfunction then when I was hanging out with my gay friends and their friends.

AKestrel, that's one of the many important items on the list of catastrophes the country just inflicted on itself.
The disastrous vandalism and incompetence of "blue" states (and some red) for the C19 situation will now never have *any* day of reckoning, politically, or financially. Or substantively - ditto for the federal clownshow. CDC, a clown car lashed to a flat car of a train on fire and plunging off the tracks - no accountability. Nothing. People like to comfort themselves with all kinds of marginal or imagined silver linings, but the last year of stupefying collapse in just about everything worthwhile in America now gets a free pass, an endorsement, a subsidy, a pay-day.

I know gas was easily had for $1.90 a gallon even six months ago. Now you are lucky to find it for $2.20, and the stations in nice areas charge $2.60. I see just decent steak going for $20 at the store, to small cuts. Even Ground beef is $14.00 for the equivalent of two or three burgers. No way we don't have inflation. I won't predict the stock market but sometimes the market goes up during rising inflation. As prices for goods rise, the same can happen for stocks. And the one thing I do know is all the big players are all in on Biden. It wouldn't look good for them to tank the market right after he wins.

Only if there is a currency crisis, or monetary crisis, though it seems there really aren't actual "markets" any more, at least not any that are mostly market-driven or can't be manipulated by a central bank. Everyone talks about "civil war" and other dramatic kinetic developments. Nah, possible but very unlikely. What's more likely? 3rd Obama term/first Hillary term. Continued rot in all directions. Enormous foregone opportunities (Trump gone), wasted potential, fantastic trends (like rises in lower quintile household real income, and real un/semi-skilled wage rates), stagnation, malinvestment in make-believe/grifting "sectors" ("green" energy).

Well, a red-letter day for me today. Had the building inspector come out to check the sheetrock work I had done, and he OK'd that. Then he said I would have to close in walls in the trailer, and do some work on the passages between the trailer and the add-on portions of the house, and I agreed, and said that those were definitely on my agenda. So he signed off the permit card for the sheetrock, and left, after some small talk about Covid and the political situation. (!)
A few minutes later, he was back, and said. "I am going to sign you off as a final inspection. I know you will do what needs to be done, because why would you not want to do it? And with travel from Canada to here being problematic, why should I saddle you with another deadline? Get it done when you are able." So, I am off the building permit treadmill at last! And damn right, I shook his hand. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at January 27, 2021 01:22 AM (mzC78) 611

Everyone likes a winner. Even if the winner is Nazi Germany, and it's prior to June 21, 1941, and "everyone" is most Germans.
Goebbels' diary turns out to be the single most valuable primary document from the German side, as far as understanding regime thinking, *and* popular opinion. The SD reports on mood and views of the populace, which Goebbels based much of his musings on, are also key. Two key data points. When the western offensive was launched in May 1940, Germans held their breath - There was no celebration or public outcry. Most people were quite content with recovery of the Saarland, Anschluss with Austria, and the thuggish grab of half of Poland and Czechoslovakia. AFTER the quick victory, Goebbels choreographed a triumphal conqueror's return day for Hitler in Berlin. June 21, 1941. Goebbels describes empty Berlin streets. Silence. Nobody saying much. Animal instinct told many - now we're over the edge, anything could happen, much of it horrible. Posted by: rhomboid at January 27, 2021 01:24 AM (OTzUX) 613

SFGoth if you have the inclination, read Tooze's "Wages of Destruction" (if you haven't already). Very comprehensive and solid, and somewhat dense, economic history of Nazi Germany. One of the things that stood out was his repeated references to Hitler being quite aware of, and very worried about, America's industrial potential. It came up, naturally, in his interactions with his economic and mobilization advisers, but seems like most people, including historians, are unaware, or ignore this.
Yes on the surface he dismissed America as a mongrelized soft society being manipulated by World Joory, but his private and deadly serious interaction with top advisers shows he understood Germany's chances were not great if the US became a mobilized enemy.

"Helicopters don't fly -- they beat the air into submission. An airplane by its nature wants to fly, and if not interfered with too strongly by unusual events or by a deliberately incompetent pilot, it will fly. A helicopter does not want to fly. It is maintained in the air by a variety of forces and controls working in opposition to each other, and if there is any disturbance in this delicate balance the helicopter stops flying; immediately and disastrously. This is why being a helicopter pilot is so different from being an airplane pilot, and why helicopter pilots are brooding introspective anticipators of trouble. They know if something bad has not happened it is about to."

It is kind of unexpected to read that ordinary Germans did not want war with France and certainly not with Russia. Think about what was going on in May, 1941 -- Britain and France had declared war because of invading Poland, which who was clamoring in the streets to do? no one, and that mess had not yet been sorted out, but the shackles of the Treaty of Versailles had been cast off, Germany reunited + Saarland + Bohemia so let's get back to before November, 1918, and then, ooops. Russia.

Posted by: rhomboid Hitler and Roosevelt shared the same idea of how war between Germany and the US could happen. Like 1917.

SFGoth - exactly. Most Germans up to May 1940 were quite content, and very ready to stop right there, and hope for pre-1918+, in terms of economic development. No war fever to speak of in the general populace. As I said they held their breath with the western offensive, were jubilant when it was a quick/relatively cheap victory, and then they were *really* happy to settle for the status quo. June 1941 was a shock, and the early jubilation at rapid advances in Russia hid a baseline dread for what might come.

In the 2000's when I went to Germany several times a year, from what I saw, Western Europe has found Heaven-on-Earth and it is called "The Middle Class". Seriously. These are people who can trace their family back to stone knives and bearskin rugs. They have modern housing, climate control, on-demand everything, electronics, great trains, and they love to meet and hang out with people from other countries within Europe. That's what they seem to want -- a comfortable, 30-hour/week job, a decent apartment/house, and all the little things they like to do in life. They don't want to kill people and break things, anymore.

"This digestive longevity leads Li and other experts to believe that anal swabs may be more effective."
I told you guys months ago that this was spread mostly through contact and fecal contamination. It hasn't exactly been a secret, but the media has largely ignored it because there isn't any political hay to be made there. "After killing the Keystone pipeline and 11,000 union jobs, Transportation Secretary nominee Pete Buttigieg said those workers will need to get "different ones."

"It really looks like straight men and women don't like each other very much, that women spend so much time complaining about men, and we still have so much evidence of misogyny," or woman-hating behavior. From an LGBT perspective, [being straight] looks actually very tragic." University of California-Riverside Gender and Sexuality Studies Professor Jane Ward
The lesbo is right! This is a huge problem for society. More and more men are going MGTOW, because the modern woman does not love a man; she only loves what that man can do for her. And the moment she thinks she can do better, that love is just gone, never to return. Oh, sure, you can try going to counseling or bending over backwards in whatever way you think will please her, but that actually just makes things worse! See, she already thinks she's too good for you, and by demonstrating the willingness to do whatever it takes to try to keep her, you're actually just reinforcing that view. The harder you try, the more she grows to despise you. Posted by: Prothonotary Warbler at January 27, 2021 02:26 AM (H3MF8) 653

So there's this article that is referred to an Insty, that says that secession is just what Putin wants.
And it says that Federalism is the answer instead of secession. And I would agree that Federalism is preferable to breaking up the country. However, we're all out of federalists who are actually in power. That's like saying that the ultimate strategy for anything is the solution challenged by the people out of power and not too popular. I thought that a bright spot for Trump for Democrats is that they might decide that federalism is a good idea. But they have shown that they prefer outright state revolt when out of power in Washington, and fascism when in. There's no principle to it, except "We're going to tell everybody under us what to do". So federalism might work if conservatives get far enough into the power to change it, but we've just seen what a handful of blue states can do to a country, in both the lockdown and elections. I don't think that the preference of a group of people out of power--and perhaps without a party *can be* "the solution" until it's even "okay" to disagree with The Party.

Really need to sleep, timing is all off. Got about 6"of snow yesterday. Thankfully the neighbor helped, God Bless Him. I've still got work to do tomorrow. Posted by: Farmer at January 27, 2021 05:29 AM (55Qr6) 742
I find the argument that 'This is exactly what China or Russia want' against Secession to be somewhat silly. Why, because the current rulers of the US are such a hinderance to them?
-China is now allowed back into the US power grid -Bans on fracking and pipelines are good for the Russian economy. -China invades Taiwan's airspace and I have not heard a peep from the Biden admin. Seems kind of like this admin is coming up roses for China and Russia. Posted by: Aetius451AD at January 27, 2021 05:32 AM (lmikk) 743

My point is that considering external situations on what we should do is kind of silly. Whether it helps or hurts third party countries is immaterial. It is whether WE find the situation here in the US intolerable, not whether what we do is going to help or hurt those other external forces.

The sad thing is that, unlike Trump, Biden has the entire apparatus of the government on his side, so he should be able to go the normal legislative route for his agenda, right?

" I wonder if they will bother to vote on Butt's plan to institute a mile driven tax. Posted by: Aetius451AD" I'm sure that will be part of the plan to pay for the 650K new ele vehicles for the government.. Problem is it's going to be a fight for who gets the taxesfirst.. Feds or States.. Most Dem states with the tight shut downs are now hurting like hell from the lack of tax revenue.. their going to be hitting the middle class hard too.. Leftist idiocy is likely to lead us to another depression.. Posted by: beanervt at January 27, 2021 06:26 AM (kq199) 763

It's all "Not my circus, not my monkeys" now.
I an leaving politics behind. 30+years of sound decisions, making people free in control-freak central of Reston, VA, getting behind good people, door-knocking, marching in parades, the Constitution Bee, sweat equity fundraising, clearing the local area of bad office-holders, and my path to County Commissioner, all gone.

Well, time to get busy. It's earlier than usual because we had 2.2 inches of snow last night. I have some decisions to make.
Have a wonderful day, everyone. I'd say more about the local political scene, but I've already been rebuked by the County Republican Party chair for my last letter to our local Federal Senator. Rotten structures and organizations do not stand. Posted by: NaCly Dog at January 27, 2021 06:34 AM (u82oZ) 770
The rumor is any company that has federal contracts will have to sign up for "critical race theory" sessions. Could anything possibly be more overtly Maoist? Incredible.
