12 The BLM - no, the other one - is dynamiting fossils in New Mexico.

It's such a sacred site that all the major fossils were cut out of the ground and hauled off in Washington, DC. Since I live here I've actually been to that precise spot and all it's going to take is one good monsoon rain and the whole thing's coming down anyhow. It's a matter of time.

17 [During the press conference discussing the Hur report and] 'Shortly after insisting that his memory was “fine,” Biden proceeded to refer to Egyptian President Abdel Fatah El-Sisi as the “president of Mexico.” '(NY Post)

The one thing that report did is make it completely public is Biden has full-blown dementia. Jiggly Jill is vile for letting him continue the current charade that he is in charge of his presidency let alone letting him run for a second term.

Not a good look, gramps. Agood enough quip, and you can pull it off if you got a friendly little rivalry going. You can't pull that off if you lead a party that actually has a history of not letting a journalist speak (in the form of throwing their ass into actual jail).

I was reported on twice in my career, once on the front page of the business section of a major newspaper. What I said and what was reported - well Kamala could explain it with Venn diagram with two circles and no overlap.

They start with an agenda and write from that conclusion. Any facts presented in opposition to that agenda go down the rabbit hole.

Da Swamp is preparing to go nuts for Mawdi Grass. They're doing the traditional "greasing of the poles," slathering oil on the posts that hold up balconies in the French Quarter and along the parade routes, so drunken people can't climb up and cause havoc. Only here would that have become a tradition. (Wasn't needed when I was a kid; our populace was at least halfway well-behaved.)

Biden knows he has to try to stay in office or forever lose the ability to pardon himself and his evil spawn.

The splintering of his voters by 3rd party candidates is guaranteeing he loses. Some on the left realize that too and are making some noise but don't want the Seth Rich treatment. Shot in the back twice? That's a message.

Special Counsel Robert Hur’s Thursday report, in which he concluded Biden, 81, “willfully retained and disclosed classified materials,” also revealed that Zwonitzer expunged audio of the commander-in-chef that had “significant evidentiary value.”

Yes. I wrote about it 2 book threads ago.

I enjoyed it, because he explained why on a lot of issues. Events and doctrine flowed mostly because of intellectual and character flaws in the higher ranks.

The Air Force leadership comes off poorly, but not as poorly as in other nations (Bomber Harris, looking at you).
We managed to muddle through, and change just enough to win.

He also dropped some serious truth bombs that will of course be ignored by the US media and therefore the most of the public.

He clearly laid out why the war started and even more importantly who is really running this country. He might not have hit Joe hard but he sure as hell threw some haymakers.

They have laid the groundwork for his mental incompetence (poor, dear old man who served his country well) and he will be 25th'd out of there. He will not be the nominee. Up until now, they haven't cared if he was dementia-riddled. But he's polling horribly and he's losing to Trump. He will be gone. Whatever monster gets "selected" in his place will jettison to the top of the polls and overcome Biden's deficit against Trump. I'll eat my shoes if I'm wrong.

Speaking of, I just learned that Gloria Steinham, second wave feminist leader, was a CIA agent.

“The reason I think that comes as a surprise, as it did to me at the time, I had the conventional liberal view of the CIA as a right wing, incendiary group and I was amazed to discover that this was far from the case. That they were enlightened, liberal, non-partisan activists of the sort who characterized the Kennedy administration.”

Man, what a rabbit hole. Turns out the Rockefeller Foundation was directly involved in the 2nd wave feminism push on the other side of the coin.

Much of what he said is factual. The root of all it is that after the fall of the USSR we had a chance to bring Russia closer to the west. Instead we continually broke our word and expanded NATO further eastward while isolating and demonizing Russia. They responded the way any sane country would, by seeking to protect themselves.

We reacted harshly for years toward every Soviet expansion in our hemisphere. We still have hostile relations with Cuba. Why would we expect Russia to react differently if the viewed western encroachment toward them as a threat?

Our foreign policy has been a bi-partisan disaster since WWII and the CIA played a huge role in it.

Putin also blamed Kamala Harris for going to Ukraine and talking up Nato membership for them. Something that - as a person who was taught to hide under his school desk in the event of nuclear war - knew was as pleasant a thought as the USA had of Cuba having nuclear weapons 90 miles off our coast.

But the 'adults are running the show now'. (spit)

267 I'm still utterly floored that Biden won't have charges brought against him for the flimsy, totally unbelievable reason that, gosh golly, he's just an old man who didn't know what he was doing. Even though he did it well before his current state of mush brains. Yet, Trump is being lined up against the firing wall like the Ceausescus. There is no justice in America. Because there is no more law.

268 To continue with the missing folks.

Then the IDF could start a whisper campaign that these missing folks bugged out with funds intended for Gaza, and are now living the good life, with a new identity somewhere.

270 We still have hostile relations with Cuba.

-

That's probably been my favorite part. We know we have bioweapons labs over there. The feds confirmed it. Pfizer and Moderna and the other biogenetics testing companies have a HUGE presence - thousands and thousands of employees - in Kiev for some unexplained reason.

We are Russia in the Cuban Missile Crisis this time, and we're acting offended that people disapprove of it.

273 Dried cod for the Brazils are packed in large flat tubs, called drums, into which they are pressed by a powerful screw. Each drum contains exactly 128 lbs. of dry fish, that being the Portuguese quintal; and the drums are shaped to suit the convenience of the Brazilians, who transport them into the interior of South America slung in pairs upon mules.

When you accept that largely Putin and the Donks share the same goal "a weakened and humbled America" their actions make sense.

If you'd like a primer on Russian thought on information and political warfare I'll show you ARIS' Little Green Men.

275 LiB -- the question is, will he go easily into that good night? Senility can be obstreperous. It could become quite a spectacle.

Personally, I think he could be bribed to step down for the right amount of cash. He is a greedy bastard, after all.

276 “We should proceed on the assumption that it’s not a serious threat?” said Alito.

Stevenson said there are “institutions in place” that should “handle” such matters. Asked to specify which institutions, she said, “Our states, their own electoral rules, the administrators who enforce those rules.”

In other words, Republicans will follow the law.

I've often wondered about this and the only conclusion I can imagine is that Putin's KBG background keeps him somewhat tight-lipped. I imagine he knows more about Ukraine/Burisma/Money laundering/Sexual Deviancy/Child Trafficking and he could blow the whole thing up.

But he keeps quiet.

Yeah, with the CIA, the fake name is the dead giveaway.

289 Just mentioning, I have a new Samsung tablet (9FE) and it worked very well until a forced downloaded update.
And then it started restarting itself, constantly. Also, I just noticed that for some reason about the time that a new notice from Tmobile that I had "new features" the Wifi got shut off so the tablet was operating strictly on mobile data.

I've shut off the mobile, though finding that in the setup was tougher then it should be, and turned the Wifi back on. But the restarting continues, and the Wifi has turned off again, twice.

Odd, isn't it?

291 That V3 actually looks really good. I've been looking at the 780M laptops as a possible replacement for my 1660 ti gamer laptop. And the 14" screen means it should be able to handle an 8.5" by 11.0" pdf too. And it looks like it's portable.

I'm going to want to see how much their costs and weighs, and when it would ship, but I'm very interested.
