Quote I “I have the right to breathe fresh air in my home. I’m not talking about if I go to someone else’s house or a place people go to smoke pot. They have the freedom to do whatever. I just do not want to be invaded in my own home.” Josefa Ippolito-Shepherd
Quote II "....there is no amount of money that can truly compensate for her injuries." Bradley Martin KC
Quote III “All of my fancy analytics got me to a bad place. All of your heuristics — ‘don’t trust these guys’ is obvious — totally worked.” Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert
Quote IV Thankfully the old fuddy, self-righteous, guns for me but not for thee contingent are dying off. Larry Correia
Quote V If I were a citizen of Switzerland today, I'd demand the entire city of Davos be thoroughly scrubbed with a Brillo pad. Then dipped in hand sanitizer. Then burned to the ground. Matthew Noto

U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) blamed the overturning of Roe v. Wade for the Republican party’s lackluster midterm showing during a recent appearance on Meet the Press. “It’s the reason we didn’t get more of a majority. We could have had a two dozen seat majority, but we don’t. This was an issue top of mind for swing voters,” Mace told NBC’s Chuck Todd.
The South Carolina Republican went on to claim that the issue will continue to hurt the GOP in 2024. “When you’re looking ahead to ’24, going to the extremes and digging in there isn’t going to work for most people,” Mace said.

Lori Lightfoot Blames Prosecutor Kim Foxx for Chicago Crime: ‘Handing Out Certificates of Innocence Like Candy’ Chicago’s embattled Democrat Mayor Lori Lightfoot has blamed Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx for the city’s out-of-control crime rates. Incumbent Lori Lightfoot currently finds herself in third place in the mayoral race, according to the polls. The election is at the end of February and if no candidate gets 50% of the vote, the top two will face off in a runoff election that will be held on April 4, 2023.
MINNEAPOLIS -- For almost 25 years, Bishop Larry Cook and his wife, Sharon, have been trying to make a positive impact on the North Minneapolis community from their church, Real Believers Faith Center. "It's just been remarkable to be here and serve, to see lives changed. That's what we do," said Larry Cook. But it hasn't been easy. The orange and yellow dots mark all the reports of shootings or shots fired in Minneapolis over the past year. The gas station next to their church is completely covered in colors. "We just never would go over there. We wanted to but it was just too much going on over there. I didn't want to be solicited for drugs," said Sharon Cook. It got to the point where the shootings started to impact the church, so Larry Cook confronted the drug dealers before a bible study. "'If you want us to leave, you need to buy it. You don't own it,' It was just very, very contentious. So my husband just looked at them and said 'I will buy it,'" said Sharon Cook.
I wonder how long it will take the Cooks to realize that the odorous government rules and regs are just as bad as the thugs.
New alcohol guidelines recommending that Canadians limit themselves to just two drinks a week – and ideally cut alcohol altogether – have prompted intense debate over risk versus enjoyment in a country where the vast majority of adults regularly consume alcohol. The Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction (CCSA) this week called for a substantial reduction in consumption, warning that seemingly moderate drinking poses a number of serious health risks, including cancer, heart disease and stroke. The new guidelines, funded by Health Canada, represent a dramatic shift from previous recommendations issued in 2011, when Canadians were told that low-risk consumption meant no more than 10 drinks a week for women and 15 drinks a week for men.

Starting on Dec. 12, 2022, and ending on Dec. 11, 2025, the Department of Defense will give $3 million in funding to EcoHealth Alliance, according to USA Spending – the official source for spending data for the U.S. government. EcoHealth Alliance will utilize the multi-million-dollar grant to "reduce the threat of viral spillover from wildlife in the Philippines."

House crickets allowed as food in EU
A European Commission ruling permits the insects in defatted and powdered form to now be added to pizza and pasta-based products
House crickets allowed as food in EU Partially defatted and powdered house crickets will officially be able to find their way to EU citizens’ tables starting on January 24. This comes thanks to a European Commission ruling passed earlier this month. As per the decision, which cited the scientific opinion of the European Food Safety Authority, the additive is safe to use in a whole range of products, including but not limited to cereal bars, biscuits, pizza, pasta-based products, and whey powder.

Gallego, a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, blasted Sinema throughout the 117th Congress for her opposition to various left-wing priorities. He floated a primary challenge to the freshman senator, but she left the Democratic Party in December to ensure that she would automatically advance to the general election.

On this day: 23 Jan 1978
American musician and songwriter Terry Kath, best known as the original guitarist, and founding members of the rock band Chicago accidentally shot himself dead. After a party at roadie and band technician Don Johnson's home in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles, California, Kath picked up a semiautomatic 9 mm pistol and, leaning back in a chair, said to Johnson, "Don't worry about it ... look, the clip is not even in it." To satisfy Johnson's concerns, Kath showed the empty magazine to Johnson. Kath then replaced the magazine in the gun, put the gun to his temple and pulled the trigger. Apparently unbeknownst to Kath, however, there was still one round in the chamber, and he died instantly from the gunshot via thisdayinmusic.com

Back in the '70s, pot was more of a "burning rope" kind of smell. Not altogether unpleasant, in small exposure when you'd catch a whiff from being downwind of such, on occassion.
Nowdays? The shit reeks of Skunk, with about the same reach and staying power.
I know the "new" pot is many times the potency of the vintage weed. But GEEZ, couldn't the botanists have done something about that gawdawful STANK?

It is not about who is smarter, it is not about winning.
It is about personal rights, personal autonomy, best judgement and personal responsibility for everyone, not just celebrated cartoonists.
These are personal rights which you appear to be willing to violate "if you are afraid enough" or "if the logic seems right to me"
This is what the Matrix you were talking about three years ago looks like from the inside. Sorry you missed it.

I want the civil authorities and doctors to provide parents and individuals with honest, complete medical information and allow them to make the best, most rational decisions for themselves armed with objective information and without coercion.
I'm not interested in converting anyone about the COVID vaxx. It's not just about this instance. It's about respecting the bounds of the law, personal sovereignty, and the intelligence of the population to make decisions for themselves, both now with the vaxx, and in the future in all instances that may come.

You summed up something I understood for a long time - people only see down when it comes to IQ. They all think they are at the top of the heap because they are too stupid to realize other people are smarter. This is often why credentials are so respected - as a stand in for IQ -- "I am really smart, and as smart as anyone, but this guy over there has credentials so that justifies me thinking he knows more on that specific subjec.t"

Heh... If I had the money, I'd buy one of Hunter's $500k "artworks," then immediately resell it at it's actual market value (perhaps $10, if that), just to put the lie to that money-laundering scheme.
I bet it'd turn out the value of a Hunter Biden drops by 99.9% when you're not purchasing directly from him.

When the lead guitarist starts his solo, you cut to him, and you *stay on him* until he's done. Cutting to brass players just taking a breath is *stupid*!
It's like this concert of Genesis. First of all they hardly cut to Steve Hackett, and then when he takes his solo, it takes about 30 to finally cut to him.

Catholic democrats try to pretend that that isn't true. I can't figure out whether it is self delusion, or whether they are out and out lying when they say that abortion should be rare, safe, and legal.

With this inflation, debt doesn't look so bad, because you are paying it back with deflated $. Plus a lot of bad debt is getting written off right now, if being a deadbeat is a palatable option for you. In finance classes, I was taught all the good ways and reasons to use debt; there are many.
I myself am terrified of debt and avoid it, but I recognize my fear is irrational.

There is a free car show there.
As a bonus people who are going to sell or tried to sell their cars at Barrett-Jackson usually show up too.
The cars range from the 20's to current.
You never know what to expect.
I've seem Ferraris, Lamborghinis, even a Bugatti.

In the old days, shit rolled downhill, so a manager of the laid off employee would meet and give the bad news.
These days, everyone is online, so why waste the time? Just blast an email and the deed is done.
Google is a soulless entity with no redeeming human value.
Why start now with in-person layoffs? It just costs money and it could confuse some who think differently.

1) Treat all guns as if they're loaded at all times.
2) Never point the muzzle at anything you don't want to destroy (like your head).
3) Keep your finger off the trigger until you're on target (aka "keep your booger hook off the bang switch").
4) Know what your backstop is (IOW, where is that bullet going to go once it passes through the target?).

Oh please. Welcome to adulthood.
When Ford laid us off in June 2008, we were notified by phone message on Thursday evening and told to not come in the next day.
Previous years, I saw others laid off when they were in office. They got a tap on the shoulder and then had security at their desk watching them as they gathered their personal belongings and packed a box, handed in their badge and then were walked out. Good friend I could hear her sobbing the entire time.
This has been happening for decades. Yes, it sucks. That's life. Suck it up, buttercup. Companies are not your friends or a church. You are an employee. When you no longer are a financial benefit to the company, you are gone.

They didn't have price tags on them. I would assume the owners wanted the Earth, Moon, and stars for them, or they wouldn't be at BJ. I looked at one really pretty 1947 CJ-2A Jeep, and it had an LS-something Corvette engine in it. A younger guy stepped up, and I remarked, "that wouldn't be my choice of engine for any serious off-roading", and he said, "I built this Jeep". I went on to say (and honestly) "well, that is a very nice installation; cannot find fault with it at all." His idea was a Jeep for short-course drag racing; me, I would want to go bashing about in the boonies. Horses for courses.

That reminds me of an Ernie and Soph joke. (Sorry for the math.)
Ernie was telling his wife, Soph, 'Soph, when I get to be 80, I am going to find myself a 20-year-old and marry her. What do you think of that, Soph?'
So Soph says, 'Well, Ernie, when I am 80, I, too, will marry a twenty-year-old and let me tell you something, Ernie! 20 goes into 80 a helluva lot more than 80 goes into 20!'

My late brother had a job where he had to lay people off. They called it downsizing. He did it in person, and on that morning before he went to work he would throw up. These were engineers, and he knew what being laid off would do to their family finances. Then his boss was replaced by someone, and he knew that he was next. He got his resume updated and started looking. It didn't take long, but he was prepared for it.

I saw this in WA-3 where Jamie Butler was primaried by Joe Kent, former Ranger, four tours, wife killed in Iraq. Guy was a superstar in the making. The local papers (leftie Seattle Times ran at least 4 articles on him telling us how bad he was, yet never ran more than one story on any of the other US Reps that didn't cover the Puget Sound area districts, WA-3 is a suburb of Portland OR, across the Columbia River)
It was/is a moderate district, but I thought he would win. Remember, a few weeks before the election, Miss Lindsay Graham came out and proclaimed a new Repub majority could make abortion illegal nationally! They used that quote over and over again in the paper, as well as a Dem TV ad. I am guessing it cost Kent at least 2% of the vote if not more. He lost by less than one-half of 1%. Fuck Lindsay Graham.

You're right, of course. Graham is a lawyer. He knew that the only way to ban abortion nationally post-Roe was to pass an amendment. He did that on McConnell's bidding, to shiv our candidates.

Happens to my FiL every night, almost. Then he snaps on the light to awaken his wife to tell her he can't sleep.
She craves some really effective sleeping pills to give him, as you can imagine.

When military bases, shipyards, hospitals closed. (Base realignments and closures probably going all the way back to the 60s.)

Fuck that guy and his post-hoc, self-delusional back-patting for following the crowd and not making an informed decision.
It wasn't heuristics. It was reading the documents. It was watching the numbers (cruise ship); they didn't add up. It was listening to their inconsistencies; they were all over the map. It was using your brain and taking responsibility for your decisions/actions.

All this and more, too. It was watching the elites attending large gatherings with no masks. It was the total denial that natural immunity did anything. It was the idea that me wearing a scrap of my old Budweiser t shirt loosely across my face was going to save someone else.

True when whole departments get canned. However when your immediate bosses get asked to trim their divisions then it can get personal.

In my case, as the 'vaccine' was still being developed I did some research and ended up on a virology site in Australia where they mentioned that decades of attempting to develop a vaccine for bat corona type viruses had all ended in failure with 'enhanced disease' in animal tests.
I don't know about everyone else but 'enhanced disease' sounded like something an intelligent person might want to avoid.

1) Treat all guns as if they're loaded at all times.
2) Never point the muzzle at anything you don't want to destroy (like your head).
3) Keep your finger off the trigger until you're on target (aka "keep your booger hook off the bang switch").
4) Know what your backstop is (IOW, where is that bullet going to go once it passes through the target?).

So now the insurance companies are noticing something they refer to as 'excess' deaths. Which seems to me to be something that fits on a Venn diagram very neatly with 'enhanced disease'.

12,000 is nothing. In the 1990s IBM laid off 60K, Sears-KMart nuked 50K and ATT let 40K go, then there 2000s when Citibank got rid of 50K, GM laid off 47K, Ford gave 40K a pink slip, and Boeing grounded 31K. A chunk of these tech layoffs are companies getting rid of underperforming employees in one sweep (dirty secret: tech companies prune out people all the time). The difference this time it is happening a workforce that is used to being treated like these jobs are an entitlement and are suddenly finding out they aren't special. The social media meltdowns have been epic. People used to deal with stuff - today they need to whine and bitch. It sucks for sure but this is how life goes.

The clue for me was that I never saw them push so... frigging... hard to make people get a vaccine that wasn't tested, especially since the survival rate for the bug was pretty damn high. The other clue was they were breaking the golden rule of pandemics, you never vaccinate during a pandemic. There was shit definitely wrong the way they handled things, and anybody with 2 brain cells to rub together and whose head wasn't in their fucking ass could see it plain as day.

Not to mention that his net worth is very likely in the multiple millions of dollars. Odds on he never has to work again if he doesn't want to. Tech jobs are good jobs. I know from experience but they also can be very volatile at times. What's going on in the tech industry is normal pruning and a response to a looming recession. I also suspect that what must did it. Twitter caught the attention of all these tax CEOs.

I recollect reading a long time ago, that in China of olden times, the practice was one paid the doctor when one was well and did not pay when sick. Hence doctor had an incentive to make one well. (don't know if this was true).

Seeing the push to do the thing, my Anti-Lemming instinct kicked in.
And I decided. I was not anti-vaccine. But I was anti-Guinea Pig, and I stuck by that decision. Seems to have served me well?
