The Quotes of The Day

Quote I
“I really think the bottom line is, men are very weak,. I think it’s just so easy for them to lose it. You expect a dude not to grab you if you’re wearing that dress?’ Seriously, you’re that weak? Come on! Go masturbate!” Billie Eilish


Quote II

“Memorial Day traditions like Rolling to Remember have been granted permits by every administration, Democrat and Republican, for the past 30 years. The Biden Administration’s decision to end this Memorial Day tradition flies in the face of the freedoms that so many have died to protect,”Republican Florida Rep. Brian Mast, a combat veteran who lost both legs

Quote III

“When we found out we were having triplets it was a complete shock, we couldn’t believe it. Lauren Mountain


Quote IV

Quote V

“I am deeply and sincerely sorry for my inappropriate and hurtful use of racist term I used to describe Sen. Tim Scott on my personal Facebook page. It was insensitive, and I have embarrassed myself and my party by its use, Lamar County Democratic Party Chairman Gary O’Connor

Well, that didn't take long. Chauvin legal defense team files appeal for new trial.

Eric Nelson, Mr. Chauvin’s attorney, requested a hearing to impeach the verdict on the grounds that:

"...the jury committed misconduct, felt threatened or intimidated, felt race based pressure during the proceedings, and/or failed to adhere to instructions during deliberations, in violation of Mr. Chauvin’s constitutional rights to due process and a fair trial.”

"The Court abused its discretion when it denied Defendant’s motion for a new trial on the grounds that publicity during the proceedings threaten[ed] the fairness of the trial,” the filing said.

"The State committed pervasive, prejudicial prosecutorial misconduct, which deprived Mr. Chauvin of his constitutional rights to due process and a fair trial, including but not limited to: disparaging the Defense; improper vouching; and failing to adequately prepare its witnesses," the motion concluded.

The decision to seek a new trial comes after the trial judge warned, after millionaire south-central LA congresswoman Maxine Waters incited violence and questioned the US judicial system, that "Congresswoman Waters may have given you something on appeal that may result in this whole trial being overturned."

Gone from the White House. But not forgotten or silent!

After being booted from Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, former President Donald Trump launched his own communications platform on Tuesday — a platform that will allow him to exclusively share messages with his millions of followers.

“The platform, ‘From the Desk of Donald J. Trump’ appears on www.DonaldJTrump.com/desk,” wrote Fox News in an exclusive report.

A video introduction posted to the site hailed the new platform as a “place to speak freely and safely” while pledging to “Save America.” Visitors to the site will be able to share Trump’s posts on various social media platforms, but they will be unable to respond with comments of their own.

“The space allows Trump to post, and allows followers to share the former president’s posts to Twitter and Facebook, however, the new platform does not have a feature to allow users to ‘reply’ or engage with Trump’s posts,” added Fox News.

What Not To Do After You Flush A Public Toilet

I'm not sure if Sous Vide will make this any more appealing. Stay tuned for CBD's next Food Thread. Same Ace Channel, same Ace time.

If you’ve never heard of "high meat", count yourself lucky. A ridiculous diet trend that is being pushed by (you guessed it) some internet users, high meat is defined as any meat that has been left to decompose. Most people would then proceed to throw the rotting meat away, but some believe that this is the perfect point to chow down. That’s right, some people are eating full-on rotten meat.

As far back as 300,000-400,000 years ago, remains of burnt bones and hearth fires have been discovered, alluding to the fact that early humans would cook up the remains of a hunt before dinner. Many years later, this practice has continued because it wipes out any nasty bacteria, makes the meat more easily digestible, and generally just tastes better – this could just be long-term conditioning, but some scientists believe microbes make "off" food smell terrible for their own selfish gain.

When I'm not welcome some place, I leave. And it's about G.D. time we left Iraq as well as Afghanistan.

On Monday, another base in Iraq where US military personnel are stationed was targeted by a rocket attack, which resulted in no casualties or damage.

At least two rockets have hit the Ain al-Asad air base in Iraq, the country's military said in a statement on Tuesday. The attack caused no casualties, the statement added, without providing further details.

The base, located in western Iraq, hosts US and other international forces.

Can you hear me now? Verizon's investment into AOL and Yahoo didn't pan out.

Verizon has sold its AOL and Yahoo properties to Apollo Global Management in a deal said to be worth $5 billion, about half of the nearly $9 billion Verizon originally paid for the pair. Verizon will maintain a 10 percent stake in the company, now known as Yahoo and led by CEO Guru Gowrappan. The deal, which includes Verizon’s ad tech business, was heavily rumored over the last week and is still subject to closing conditions. Once complete, it’ll bring an end to Verizon’s troubled experiment with media production and advertising.

Apollo is a private equity firm that owns the Venetian resort in Las Vegas and crafts retailer Michaels. Apollo co-founder Leon Black recently stepped down as Chairman, soon after it was revealed that he paid more than $150 million to Jeffrey Epstein. Yes, that Jeffrey Epstein.

“We are thrilled to help unlock the tremendous potential of Yahoo and its unparalleled collection of brands,” said Apollo partner Reed Rayman. “We have enormous respect and admiration for the great work and progress that the entire organization has made over the last several years, and we look forward to working with Guru, his talented team, and our partners at Verizon to accelerate Yahoo’s growth in its next chapter.”

Verizon originally paid $4.4 billion for AOL in 2015 and another $4.5 billion for Yahoo two years later. The media divisions, which included properties like Yahoo Sports, TechCrunch and Engadget, were consolidated under the absurdly named Oath, later renamed Verizon Media Group in 2018 after Verizon admitted defeat and wrote off about half of its value.

I'm a huge fan of Red Green.


I think Ginger Billy of South Carolina is as well.

If your standard fare riding lawnmower just isn’t cutting it for you anymore, it might be time for an upgrade. And by ‘upgrade,’ I mean fixing a mower deck onto the back of a Ford Festiva where the rear wheels would be. Because hell yeah.

I can’t take credit for this wonderful idea, which comes from Ginger Billy on YouTube. If you aren’t familiar with this fella, he’s been out here making comedic videos that satirize life in rural South Carolina, except somehow he makes it relatable for literally anyone who enjoys a good joke and a beer. And his most recent video, titled ‘My lawnmower’s cooler than your lawnmower!,’ is the epitome of all things great in this world—especially redneck invention.

Ginger Billy’s reasoning behind this contraption is a pretty good one. Lawn care is important, but it’s also annoying as hell to get sunburned and sweaty (or, as he calls it, ‘swamp butt’ from sitting out on your ride-on lawn mower. So, why not slap the mower deck onto a Ford Festiva and create the Ron Beer?

Who doesn't believe in the Gun Safety Rules? Our Genius Award Winner.

A man was accidentally killed by a bullet from his relative’s gun when a bar fight broke out in Texas, officials say.

The Harris County Sheriff’s Office says two men began fighting Sunday night at the Micheladas La Barra in the Houston area, KTRK reported.

One of the men began “beating” the other with a gun and it fired a shot, killing his relative, the news outlet reported.

Luis Rivera, 24, died at the scene. His relative left in a 2009 silver Chevrolet Malibu and could be going to Laredo, officials say.

When we found out we were going to have (fraternal) twins, we encountered all kinds of information by intent and chance (pre-Internet days), and experiences like meeting a neighbor on the street, pushing her three-baby stroller! (Twin boys and a fraternal (soror-al?) sister.) Made our mere twins seem a lot more handle-able. (handle-able? Re-write!) Met a pair of young men, one of whom was a reverse-twin of the other - he had to wear a med bracelet, you know, saying, "my heart is on the other side!"

I thought we'd read a lot about the variety of twinning, but until tonight I don't think I've ever heard of identical triplets. It would mean the first split is just one from another. The next split, though, is one splits again and the other doesn't. Incredible. One is related to the other two in a way the other two are not with each other. Who's on first?

Yes. The cities depend on getting the food in, and the "processed food" down the drain and out. Lot of throughput there.

Just-in-time inventory gives little cushion.

Sounds like a good trip. I've been to all three places, worth it. Although the parking pass thing at Mt Rushmore was a bit weird if I remember it right. Something like $10 to park, but it's good for a month.

Rapid City, SD, the closest town of any size to Mt Rushmore has life size statues of past presidents on the streets downtown. Find your favorite and get a picture with him. They also have a section of the Berlin wall in a park there as well.

A while back someone made the point the trouble was that we overindulge the youth. That is, we engage too much with them. It may have been Rush, or maybe Rush quoting someone and agreeing with it.

I mean in the old days, adults didn't pay any attention to what the kids thought. They were too young, didn't know anything, and sit down, shut up, and learn.

And now you have parents overindulging their kids, placing great weight on their opinions and that kind of shit.

Sort of letting the lunatics run the asylum type of thing.

339 310 @Aetius, back in my misspent youth I really enjoyed Russian history, especially 1900-1920. How the Bolsheviks pulled it off was not inevitable.
Posted by: Caesar North of the Rubicon at May 04, 2021 10:11 PM (BMmaB)

Not at all. IU Bloomington at the time was a big big 'Slavic' (really Soviet) history school. Primarily because you had Ekloff and Rabinowich both teaching there. Ekloff was a late Soviet period guy (he married a Soviet gal and her Dad was a high party apparat, iirc, so he was able to travel all over the place inside the USSR.) Rabinowich was/is (not sure actually, last time I checked he was still alive) one of the best guys in the world on the Revolutionary period.

Rabinowich was a FAR better professor than Ekloff. I liked both though. Rabinowich was a cool history professor in the classic tradition. He taught both a Russia at War class as well as a 400 level that was on Stalinism in general (he was not a fan.)

Yeah, it takes a lot of energy to make a diamond. It's a high-temperature/high-pressure form of carbon that happens to be metastable at earth surface conditions.

South Africa no longer has a monopoly on gem diamonds. We produce a lot in Canada, now, and there are still many kimberlite pipes left to explore.

Dude here gets it. Also, minor French nobility in 1790. Russians with useful skills in 1917. Well intentioned clergy at the outset of any major religious war. So many examples...

I'm not trying to make light of the seriousness of such a move--as alluded to earlier, I'm acutely aware of what it's like--but battle lines are being drawn. Voting harder won't stop it. Howling at the moon won't stop it. Fighting a valiant but futile one-man last stand in hostile territory won't stop it, either. It's not about what's right, it's about what will happen.

361 As near as I can tell, this is the Disney/Pop Star model.

Young girls appear on Disney, sing, act and such and their image is mostly wholesome with a little bit of edge. Little girls associate and parents don't mind because the character/persona is normal. So they buy merch/concert tickets/movies/etc.

But as the personality grows older, so too do the fans. And when you are a college age female, listening to little girl dance tunes is juvenile.

Recognizing that having a twenty year old try to appeal to 12 year olds is weird, and recognizing that having a 20 year old sing/act in a fashion that is appealing to 12 year olds will lose the now 18-22 year old fan base, an agent gets in the ear of the performer and says "Hey, smoke some pot. Shave your head. Get arrested. Sing a song about fingering yourself or your pussy. Something. Anything."

Because none of them have much actual talent, mainly just stardom.

I mean they have some talent, but not like transcendent talent. Just hoochie dancing and an above average voice. But not like operatic or anything resembling true talent.

So they sing about sucking cock or feuding with other performers or whatever. Or OrangeManBad.

A cream donut. Via image search:

When the pallbearers brought Phil McLean's coffin into the chapel, there were gasps before a wave of laughter rippled through the hundreds of mourners.

The coffin was a giant cream donut.

"It overshadowed the sadness and the hard times in the last few weeks," said his widow, Debra. "The final memory in everyone's mind was of that donut, and Phil's sense of humor."

The donut was the latest creation by Phil's cousin Ross Hall, who runs a business in Auckland, New Zealand, called Dying Art, which custom builds colorful coffins

Not familiar with the case, but yeah. It’s been settled law since at least 1906. Once you sell something—a book, a DVD, a CD—the purchaser can resell it however they want.

That’s why DVDs have region codes. Since they can’t make it illegal to buy DVDs destined for different regions, they make it difficult to play different regions on DVD players.

That's a good take on the Soviet situation, I like it. One of the fundamental reasons that collectivist systems breed massive corruption and ineptitude is that competence is riskier than incompetence. If you're supposedly good at your job but miss a quota then you go gulag, wrecker, however if you're consistently unproductive than the comrade is doing his best and anyone that could verify that is far away and probably more concerned about their own standing.

402 I am damned glad that I moved to the countryside in '98. I got my '96 Suburban's battery charged up, after its 5-month Winter nap, and took it for a short cruise around the township, just to get it limbered up a little. I (gasp) broke quarantine, but never got out of the vehicle, and never even met another vehicle, or saw a live person on the whole 6 mile jaunt. But it was breezy and showering at the time, so nobody would be outside who didn't have a good reason to be.

-he was part of the finnish army during WWII

-in 1944 a group he was in was surrounded by the Red Army, but they managed to escape.

-they skied a long distance, but he was exhausted. So he decided to take some Pervitin (he was the carrier for the group of the issued pills.) He could not get one capsule out of the bottle, so he took all of them (around 30 capsules.) Wackiness ensued.

-died at the ripe old age of 71, if anyone is curious.

-btw, Pervitin is methamphetamine.

422 ..A while back someone made the point the trouble was that we overindulge the youth. That is, we engage too much with them. It may have been Rush, or maybe Rush quoting someone and agreeing with it.

I mean in the old days, adults didn't pay any attention to what the kids thought. They were too young, didn't know anything, and sit down, shut up, and learn. And now you have parents overindulging their kids, placing great weight on their opinions and that kind of shit. Sort of letting the lunatics run the asylum type of thing. Posted by: publius, Rascally Rapscallion of a Poperin Pear at May 04, 2021 10:16 PM (Mzdiz)


Fully agree. Plus, when I was a kid, it was the very last years of when "youth" wanted nothing more than to have adult clothes to wear vs. "short pants", and strove to enter and be accepted into "adulthood". Less than a decade later, many kids were emulating the attire of filthy hippies and other forms of sartorial rebellion. "Slovenly" is a bad habit, not an admirable style.

Longtime girlfriend broke up with him 2 weeks after his commissioning, stating that he was "too sure of himself."

And he offers his resignation--and the Lamar County Democrats "consider it" and then say "there there, that's oka, we won't accept it."

What a pussy--a real man would say, "I stepped in it. I was stupid. I resign". Instead he offers this limp dick Bidenesque "offer to resign" knowing damned well that the other Democrat bigots won't accept it. Heck they need to go home and get thier white robes pressed.

Scouting Fire is a too-often neglected tactic and technique. It won't work twelve weeks into a campaign. Opponents are experienced and hardened, by then.

First two weeks though? Watch them break and run like the rats that they are. Helps to establish momentum in the desired directions, for sure.

Early on America was the goal for a lot of the Huguenots leaving persecution in France. My family has an interesting story...they were in the retinue of Mary, Queen of Scots, when she went to France to marry the dauphin. They stayed, became Huguenots and after several generations left when the Edict of Nantes was revoked and Protestants were again allowed to be persecuted.

I really had no familiarity with this song until John Lennon covered it on his "gotta fill the contract obligation" rock n roll album. His sounded most like the one you linked to. Clearly the winner.

494 Dice's CIA clip addressed the scarcity of whites, but didn't mention another way the left is othering white folks.The sole white guy was an overweight, poorly-dressed slob, compared to the others they highlighted. They were all in suits, well-groomed. Pretty obvious that not only do they want to exclude white folks, they want to reinforce their message that the smart POC are the brains behind the machine, while the white lump in the library is sorting books and playing board games.

Now THAT is an interesting stat. You see, according to the Census Bureau, according to their prelim estimates the Blue states lost as many as 5 million population to the Red, but their 'final' results showed it was 2.5 million less. This saved as many as 7 Blue State House representatives in the reapportionment process, all based on 'final' census data.

Go figure, huh? Townhall has an excellent piece describing how these shifts saved many Blue state seats; a piece by Steven? Moore iirc.

Posted by: GnuBreed at May 05, 2021 01:54 AM (F0YaR)

510 Remember, the warping of the process by the Left comes from all directions. They hope most of this shit slips below the radar, with an able assist from an assistive press.

And it mostly does. They count on that.

The Census was fucking rigged. By the fucking Left.

Posted by: GnuBreed at May 05, 2021 02:02 AM (F0YaR)

511 I got a few text about the census and never bothered answering them. After a few times they never bothered me again. Guess I don't count. I am sure I am on a few lists. The census doesn't need my data. I am positive they have our house already counted in some fashion.

513 when they sent yet another follow Senseless follow up, i sent back an angry note that they were just trying to double count to give Malig-Nancy more votes, and that they could go fuck themselves.

i heard nothing more. 2010, i maxed the test score and had 5 veteran's preference points, but never got hired because i had a traffic ticket that i hadn't cleared (not a warrant, btw)

this time, they didn't even advertise the j*bs. F the Senseless: it's as corrupt as the rest of the government. the Lady Friend and i, at the time, never even got a Y2K form, so it's all bullshit.

A reasonable argument. You should probably wait for an informed piece from the NYT to form an opinion.

i'll read Col Schlicter there: i served with him, and he's solid. there may be one or two others, but, when i doubt, i go without.

besides, i know, from personal experience (see above) that the Senseless is corrupt and politicized. ergo i don't need to click to a web page that isn't my friend to read the blindingly obvious.

YMMV.

Nice hash. Yeah, Ace even links to John Sexton at HotAir, non-ironically. AllahP? purely ironically. All part of the Townhall/Salem Media family. RedState is a good source of info; also a Salem property.

I refuse to link certain sites, WaPo and NYT being at the top of my list. Others are more 'nuanced'.
