Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Quick Hits: Broke-Brained NeverTrumpers Get Hysterical and Nasty, Spiraling Bitterly, as the Ruling Class It Unquestioningly Serves Disintegrates In a Cloud of IncompetenceInsurrectionist! More bad polling news for Biden. This is three polls putting his approval at 46% or under.
@allahpundit apologies if the tweet below came off as sarcastic. i didn't mean it to be. i don't blame abbott for the lack of icu beds (although he really should lift his ban on vaccine mandates). but beds really are scarily scarce in austin now ..."I really didn't mean 'ha-ha, Abbot gets what he deserves' but when you think about it, isn't Abbot getting what he deserves? He disagrees with my performative panic after all!" Do all of you feel well-served by your liberal-billionaire-funded Conservative, Inc. media class? Noted War Theorist Dan McLaughlin proves that it's not just white liberal women who are prone to Performative Hysteria on Twitter. It's also white liberal men.

Posted by: Soothsayer's Untrue But Accurate Tales at August 18, 2021 05:25 PM (N8iKR) There's this bizarre assumption that covid patients are in ICU. They're not. ICU is for really fucked up people, trauma patients, liver failure, etc. They do NOT put people with contagious diseases in regular ICU. Sure, there's probably some beds set aside for contagious diseases, but it's not the entire ICU. Most hospitals set up wards specifically for covid when this first started, and that wound up putting ER patients in tents in the parking lot. I know, I got to see a few from June to December. If they haven't set up a wing or floor for this in the meantime, it sounds like a management issue.

The Taliban just paid off their government to knuckle under. Hell, the Uniparty's loser puppet Ghani only got away to Dubai with $170m. Out of the ungodly sums we've poured into that shithole, that's nothing. Cheap date, and we still got the shaft. You're gonna need a hell of a lot more money and firepower than that to get our crooks to take a walk.

It isn't abbott's fault that millions of diseased illegal aliens are setting up shop in Texas' emergency rooms. Posted by: Reuben Hick at August 18, 2021 05:30 PM (+LCoQ) I need to talk with my surgeon friend in Austin about how his hospital is. I can say that at Cedar Sanai, my friend who works the ICU tower last said they had 16 with delta variant (not in his ICU), and they were ALL Hispanic. They're almost always Hispanic, because culturally they don't pay shit attention to things like washing hands, general hygiene, social distancing - although they do wear masks. A lot.

My $.02 Posted by: Mark Andrew Edwards, The Suicide Squad review at August 18, 2021 05:31 PM The turning point, IMHO, was 2009. Up to that point Bush had kept troop levels fairly low. Obama fucked up by a) not supporting the revolution in Iran, and b) flooding Afghanistan with troops in a cheap imitation of the Surge. The former is arguably the bigger screw up, because it was a chance to eliminate a major regional threat, allow us to shift our focus towards securing the Pakistan border, reduce the pressure on Afghanistan from the west, and add a friendly neighbor with the ability to help support the tribes and the Afghan government.

Also too afraid to get the shot because she knows someone who got the Covid heart thing. Is also morbidly obese. Tried to explain to her that when she develops a strangulated, gangrenous bowel and goes septic she might regret that choice. And, that she might want to get some surgery to optimize her health by getting the surgery which would reduce her chances of a bad outcome with the Vids. But paralyzed by fear. The perfect citizen.

Anybody that has been to an emergency room in the last 25 years knows that they are always full, ICU's never have available beds, and it can take days for an ER patient to get into a hospital room. My MIL and FIL went to the ER every 3 months the last 10 years, and everything was always full.
Why? Illegals and junkies use the ER as their primary physician and no amount of Obamacare will every change that. So a junkie wanting a few days of Oxy or Percocets will make someone having a seizure wait for 8 hours to finally be seen. Oh, and the homeless use the ER as a way to get a shower and their clothes washed by shitting themselves at the public library.

Posted by: TrivialPursuer at August 18, 2021 05:43 PM (k4dH2) I've mentioned here before, since I live in a semi-rural agricultural area between Monterey and Silicon Valley - I'm surrounded by illegals. They use the ER as their family clinic. When my mother fell back in 2017, I of course panicked and went to the nearest hospital south of us. The place was standing room only, all illegal families. Generations. Granddaughter, daughter, and mama all pregnant. Kids, babies and dads. Making a day of it. It took 7 hours to get a freaking bandage and x-ray. I learned the hard way to take the hour drive to Mountain View, because they met us curbside with a wheelchair, and mom had a room in half an hour. I've been to the first hospital several times since, nothing has changed. I watched a Nurse explain to one lady for over 15 minutes that she HAD to change the bandages on her burn, she can't keep coming back for them to do it. That's what that bag of shit was for. Incredible. And now, we get even more. Posted by: clutch cargo - processed in a facility that may contain lead at August 18, 2021 05:51 PM (wAnMi) 312

Whig,
Going back to the prior thread. A guy from battalion tasked with training some of the ANA once told me he thought up to 30% of them worked for the other side. He further theorized that another 20-30% would sell out for the right price. He ultimately felt that when the fight came maybe 35-40% would fight, if they had to. He felt almost all of their command was on the take or would evaporate at the right price.

Someone tell Allahpundit that the % of staffed beds devoted to COVID (19.7%) in Texas appears to have leveled off. It is lower than the peak registered in January 2021 and nearly the same as the peak registered in July 2020. Tell him that bed utilization rates in the Austin catchment are lower than statewide means. The daily death toll statewide is 60% lower than the peak registered in July 2020 and 70% lower than that registered in January 2021.

It's amazing to see these "covid hospitalization" numbers bandied about here. What are the sources for those numbers? Do you for one second trust those numbers as gospel?
Since the CDC has been confirmed to be 100% politicized, their numbers are absolute garbage due to varying "standards" and lack of any meaningful data. To get an idea on how the mRNA Clot Shots are doing, you are required to reject the CDC garbage and look to Israel, UK and others for reality based data.

I'm actually asking, not looking for a "George Soros" glib answer.

Posted by: Blago Salem Media bought Hot Air which also owns and produces radio shows, Red State, Twitchy, and also PJ Media/Instapundit. Essentially, they take conservative websites, shows, and properties, turn them into uniparty corporatist mush and 'profit'.

As a bit of an expert in ERs, all I can say is: if hospital beds made money for a hospital, they would build more. Hospitalists spend considerable effort in blocking admissions. Government insurance does not reimburse enough for inpatient care to make it financially viable and they only do it to the minimum extent necessary.

329 Marcus T., that matches what I heard the last time that I paid attention to that theater. As far as training, our military has the handicap of training troops to our doctrines rather than bringing in trainers that might be more in tune with the facts and recruits on the group. For one, the Taliban was primarily Pashtun in ethnicity which is about 40-50 percent of the population. If the military tried its we need the troops to be diverse representing all ethnic groups, that is a recipe for failure in that world.
The Brits, French, Belgians, and other countries running empires usually relied on minority groups as their crutch to play them off against the majority group. Saddam and Assad, more or less did the same thing. The minority groups know that their back is against the wall if a regime falls so are a bit more enthusiastic about fighting to keep their position than the disgruntled, untrained, and disunited majority faction.

Don't read this if you have high blood pressure.
(copied from a Daily Mail article) The school resource officer accused of hiding during the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida broke down outside of court Wednesday saying: 'I did the best I could'. Scot Peterson, 58, is charged with multiple counts of child neglect for allegedly failing to protect students as gunman Nikolas Cruz made his way through the school on February 14, 2018, ultimately killing 17 students and staff. Seventeen others were wounded. He was in court Wednesday as his lawyer argued to dismiss the child negligence charges filed against him. 'I didn't do anything there to try to hurt any child there on the scene,' Peterson told the South Florida SunSentinel Wednesday in a Broward County courthouse hallway, fighting back tears. 'I did the best that I could with the information. I did the best ... I'll never forget that day. You know, not only kids died, I have friends that died. And never for a second would I sit there and allow anyone to die, knowing that animal was up in that building! Never!' Posted by: Gref at August 18, 2021 06:13 PM (AMIL/) 425
I'd say those Taliban in the photo weren't born yet when the US first invaded Afghanistan. Another difference for the New(-ish) Taliban: not so many old AK's, WASR's, VZ's, and Type 56's. They all seem to have new-looking M16's and M4's now. LOL.

He might have started getting shitty at 2pm. I knew things were off when he came back from his week vacation and immediately got lost behind the bushes trying to find the WH door. The dude has been gone for all of August so far, and it looks like he won't be back until September. Maybe.

We may never know, or we might later, but I have been wondering whether the frozen A'stan assets are/were part of the "arrangement" that was easily predictable, was predicted, and seems to be in place.
Airport has perimeter secured, no AAA fire (just as important - one ZSU or equivalent in either approach or departure flight paths = non-functional airport), Americans/other foreigners allowed to evac. It's in the Taliban's interest, they want most of the foreigners gone, and there's no mileage for them in getting into losing fights now/there (and they'd lose). Question, is what was part of the deal. Sub-question is what's the UK's arrangement, that apparently allows them to collect their people beyond airport perimeter?

495 rhomboid,
Story today had the State Dept is already complaining that Taliban broke the deal and is not letting people come to the airport. That area of the world has a long history of hostage taking, revenge killings, etc. and the amount of control that the central government has decreases by the distance from the capital. After all, the student militants that took over the American embassy and took hostages were simply a faction of the Revolutionists. Posted by: whig at August 18, 2021 06:31 PM (pO7gM) 518

The cave-dwelling Taliban are better at social media meme-making than the ladyboy Biden hired. This is because they still think rationally. They choose to be evil, but at least they are capable of rational thought. I see no evidence the left is still capable of doing the same.

whig - I don't see any signs the Taliban aren't pretty well squared away and in control of their people. This is not your father's Taliban, at least in terms of organization and apparent training and sophistication. Anything is possible but my implication above was that the ransom is already being paid, that's the basis for orderly (relatively) evacuation. Out of the frozen assets, or some other way.
Aspirin - that's my point - the Para units would not be going anywhere beyond the airport wire without an understanding with the Taliban, they aren't just brazening it out. Question was why/how would they have a different deal than we do? Posted by: rhomboid (OTzUX) at August 18, 2021 06:36 PM (OTzUX) 539

I believe that life is tragic. I never faulted the U.S. for being on the losing side in Viet Nam. We stayed & tried a lot longer than any other country would've.
But I've ALWAYS hated the chaotic evacuation of the country. How long did the U.S. have to prepare a competent evacuation & rescue plan, including our most at-risk Vietnamese allies? 1961-1974? Let's see... that's 13 years, right? Instead we flew out a bunch of bar girls, from what I've read, & most of the truly imperiled ended up in re-education camps. Looks like Biden wanted to do do it the same way all over again, only minus the bar girls this time. Because... no bars, I guess. Posted by: mnw at August 18, 2021 06:49 PM (Cssks) 552

"Salem Media bought Hot Air which also owns and produces radio shows, Red State, Twitchy, and also PJ Media/Instapundit. Essentially, they take conservative websites, shows, and properties, turn them into uniparty corporatist mush and 'profit'. Arguably, only Red State improved marginally in 2020 probably because Erick Erikson was paid off and other avowed hard core NT'ers left. "
Except that isn't a description of PJ Media / Instapundit at all. It is disconcerting that so many consequential outlets - once independent - are now owned by the same corporation. However, that's not a fair description of the content. Posted by: Art Deco at August 18, 2021 07:12 PM (1BrBu) 555
There are three disagreeable contributors at Hot Air - Allahpundit, Ed Morrissey, and Taylor Mallard. Morrissey fits your description. People who follow his writing maintain it deteriorated when he started writing f/t and professionally; when he ran a call center and wrote on the side, it wasn't the demoralizing tripe it is now. Mallard is a libertarian twit of a familiar sort, common in topical commentary for 40 years.
Posted by: Art Deco at August 18, 2021 07:13 PM (1BrBu) 556
Allahpundit I think once had a stand-alone blog; he was recruited by Michelle Malkin for Hot Air for obscure reasons. The thing is, if you're going to have someone from the opposition to challenge your readers and keep your regulars honest, you should attempt to hire someone whose viewpoint is not stereotyped and sophistic. Wm. F. Buckley hired Michael Kinsley back in the day. Maybe it's just the culture.
