The new and improved Fully Vaccinated and Boosted Piers Morgan Tests Positive for COVID-19 — Blames “Anti-Vaxx” for Catching the Virus Far-left British television personality Piers Morgan has contracted COVID-19 despite being fully vaccinated and receiving a booster shot two years ago. The hypocritical host of “Uncensored” announced the news via Twitter, expressed his frustration, and blamed the ‘anti-vaccination’ community for his infection. The 58-year-old host shared a photo of his positive lateral flow test on Twitter, along with a candid description of his condition: “as rough as a badger’s a***.” They want the government to apologize, isn't that cute?

During his trip, the Soros heir committed $1 million to First Lady Zelenska’s charity and announced a partnership with the Open Society Foundations. An affordable electric car?

There's only one faith carrying out public religious displays at this time of year that I can think of but I guess we'll, eventually, see:
BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — Montana police say a woman has been arrested after driving her vehicle several times at or through an unspecified religious group gathered on a sidewalk. One man was injured. Billings police say the 55-year-old woman was pulled over on Saturday a few hours after the episode. She was taken to jail on charges of felony assault, felony criminal mischief and driving under the influence. It's not known if she has a lawyer yet. Police haven't provided details on what kind of religious group was involved. They say the FBI is also reviewing the case. That suggests the agency is looking at whether it could be a bias-motivated crime. Posted by: andycanuck (krqg6) at December 10, 2023 10:06 PM (krqg6) 29

So, it turns out that the President of Harvard plagiarized large portions of her dissertation.
When Gay was dean of the faculty of arts and sciences, she did her best to turn one of America's leading young economists, Roland Gerhard Fryer, into a pariah at Harvard, via trumped-up sexual harassment charges. Gay hated Fryer for two reasons: one, he was black; and two, he was fairly conservative. (For example, Fryer did a study demonstrating that black people were not disproportionally shot by the cops.) One little side effect of making diversity hires is that people who know damn well that they were only hired for the color of their skin are going to make sure that competent minorities are repressed.

"I'm writing this message to you on the way to the base. If you're reading this, something must have happened to me. As you know me, there's probably no one happier than me right now. It wasn't just that I was on the verge of fulfilling my dream soon. I'm happy and grateful for the privilege of protecting Our beautiful country and for the people of Israel. Even if something happens to me, I don't allow you to sink into sadness. I had the privilege of fulfilling my dream and vocation and you can be sure that I am looking down on you and smiling hugely. I will probably sit next to grandfather and we will bridge some gaps, everyone will tell about their experiences and what has changed between wars. Maybe we'll also talk a little politics, ask him what he thinks. If, god forbid, you sit Shiv’a, make it a week of friends, family and fun. Let there be food, meat of course, beers, soft drinks, grains, tea and, of course, mother's cookies. Make jokes, hear stories, meet all my other friends you haven't seen yet. Walla? Jealous of you.

Montreal family wants apology from city after video shows snow plow striking cars

>>Why? Is stainless steel stiffer than regular steel?

Yahoo:
Yahoo Finance Why job candidates are 'ghosting' employers like never before Kerry Hannon Kerry Hannon·Senior Columnist Sat, Dec 9, 2023 at 10:10 AM EST6 min read Payback is hell. In a turn of the tables, job seekers are increasingly ghosting employers. That’s according to a new report by Indeed, the online job search platform. Prospective employees who are in the middle of the hiring process and vanish without letting the employer know why think it’s “fair play,” according to Raj Mukherjee, executive vice president at Indeed. “It’s easy to see why, after years of having been ghosted by employers.” In other words, they apply for jobs, or are interviewed, sometimes by multiple people, and then it’s radio silence. Maybe you've been there or done that. More than half of employers (57%) say ghosting had never happened to them prior to the past 12 months, according to the Indeed findings pulled from a survey of 4,500 job seekers and employers, each, in the US, the UK, and Canada.

Prospective employees who are in the middle of the hiring process and vanish without letting the employer know why think it’s “fair play,” according to Raj Mukherjee,
Most companies "let you know" they are interested by just never contacting you again. So...its not a surprise that changes job seekers to act the same. That being said, most industries are smaller then you might realize. Never piss someone off in your industry for no reason. And in fact, I had a friend that got a job offer. When they did the background check they told him they were no longer interested. I asked my friend if he had any arrests or such and he said no. I asked him if he ever ghosted a company and he said he had. I asked him to go find the hiring manager from the company he ghosted and see if that guy was linked to the hiring manager at what would have been his new company. And...ding ding ding they knew each other. Posted by: 18-1 at December 10, 2023 11:03 PM (XqcwY) 209

218 also the NFL needs haircut regulations
Posted by: Don Black at December 10, 2023 11:10 PM (geLO ![]() The only inviolable NFL uniform regulations that I know of, for the past 40 years, are: Names on the back of the jersey. No Stickum or other foreign substance on the uniform or skin. No skin visible at and below the waist. I see at least one Eagles player is in violation tonight with skin showing between the bottom of his pants and his socks. He must be ok with paying whatever the fine is. I thought un-tucked jerseys were verboten and a player would be fined. That may no longer be the case. Or the fine is so small players don't care about it.

People and organizations get lazy and overconfident, even historically good ones.

I strongly suspect that in the end, their will not be blame apportioned for the failures on Oct 7, because there is simply too much blame to go around. From bits I can glean, there were multiple failure all up and down the chain of command. The IC community failures were terrible, and may have stemmed from an overreliance on Tech and a downplaying of Humint. Some of the most inexplicable where why the IDF took 12 hours, in some cases to calls that their own bases were under attack on the border. (because it was yom kippur and no one was answering phones? oh come on.)

Post-1973 War, the Israelis empaneled the Agranat Commission, which ended the careers of Golda Meir, Moshe Dayan, and numerous others.
I suspect there will be a similar commission after Hamas is crushed. Posted by: The ARC of History! at December 11, 2023 12:10 AM (YAtuc) a commission is definitely called for, we'll see if they will do it. Richard Fernandez (Wretchard) had some interesting thoughts a while back on the nature of the failure, which was that the biggest mistake was that both Israel, and the allies of Hamas, assumed that Hamas leadership was sane, They were not. Israel assumed that Hamas would never launch an attack that was so big it would force Israel to destroy them utterly, because that would be crazy. Hamas' patron, Iran, assumed that Hamas would never launch an attack while making zero plans to defend their territory against an Israeli onslaught, because that would be insane. Insanity is an incredibly hard thing to account for. Posted by: Tom Servo at December 11, 2023 12:19 AM (S6gqv) 337

Hamas had been planning this for a long time with Iran’s help. The fact that they entered into negotiations with Israel and entered into a deal just prior to the attack was taken straight from the Hitler playbook.

I had a good part of the day free, as I'd done my grocery shopping on Saturday. Taking a chance, I ventured into the Walmart nearest me for the first time in years. That place seems to hire the stupidest employees in the metro area (and around here, that is really saying something).

Posted by: Debby Doberman Schultz at December 11, 2023 *** Morning, Debby! When I was a kid, we'd get a real tree about a week or so before Xmas from the gigantic local supermarket, the Walmart before there was a Walmart. We'd pick it out, I guess Dad had them rope it to the top of the car (I shudder to think what that did to his car's paint), and we'd set it up in the dining room and decorate it. By 12/28 it would be shedding needles -- but we had a tile floor, so it wasn't like needles in carpet. The lights we had, I think, were the larger outdoor types, and if one bulb went out the entire string did too. With cats, I really can't have a tree. Maybe next year, if I have a house where I coudl set the tree up in a room and keep the beasts out of it . . .
