I'm amazed he wasn't jailed indefinitely while MushHead watches the USA burn. He's too addled with dementia to play the fiddle. Charges dropped against Gold Star father arrested for heckling Biden during SOTU address Schwalb argued that despite the fact that, as the Capitol Police noted, "disrupting the Congress and demonstrating in Congressional Buildings is illegal," Nikoui should not be charged since countless other protestors in recent years weren't. The father of a US soldier killed in Afghanistan during Biden’s disastrous withdrawal who was arrested after heckling the president during his State of the Union address earlier this month has had his charges dropped. Gold Star father Steve Nikoui, 51, was cleared of all wrongdoing by Washington, DC Attorney General Brian Schwalb on Tuesday. He had been charged with a misdemeanor of "crowding, obstructing or incommoding," which carries a fine of up to $500 and 90 days in prison. Don't care for your boss?

And your tax dollars will be used to convert you. This is another article about New York’s climate “leadership” that I fear will trickle down to a state near you. Ken Girardin from the Empire Center breaks the story of New York’s latest attempt to shore up public support for the Climate Leadership & Community Protection Act (Climate Act). This article explains that the State “is especially concerned about certain areas of the climate program, noting they should be able to “immediately address emerging unforeseen events that draw media scrutiny”. The Climate Act established a New York “Net Zero” target (85% reduction in GHG emissions and 15% offset of emissions) by 2050. Despite the enormous impacts to energy affordability, threats to electric system reliability, and mandates affecting personal energy choices I believe many New Yorkers are unaware of the law. In 2023 transition recommendations were supposed to be implemented through regulation, Public Service Commission orders, and legislation. Not surprisingly, the aspirational schedule of the Climate Act has proven to be more difficult to implement than planned. NYS Seeks Spin Doctor To Fight Climate Law Critics I have good news. And I have bad news. The good news? Hogan leads Maryland Senate race by double digits, poll shows A serious question. Is there any faculty at Harvard that has an original thought? Harvard professor Christina Cross is a rising star in the field of critical race studies. She earned a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan, secured the support of the National Science Foundation, and garnered attention from the New York Times, where she published an influential article title “The Myth of the Two-Parent Home.” Cross’s 2019 dissertation, “The Color, Class, and Context of Family Structure and Its Association with Children’s Educational Performance,” won a slate of awards, including the American Sociological Association Dissertation Award and the ProQuest Distinguished Dissertation Award, and helped catapult her onto the Harvard faculty. According to a new complaint filed with Harvard’s office of research integrity, however, Cross’s work is compromised by multiple instances of plagiarism, including “verbatim plagiarism, mosaic plagiarism, uncited paraphrasing, and uncited quotations from other sources.” What do you do when the "Check Oil Light" comes on?: 1.

PIEDRAS NEGRAS — As the debate in the United States continued to rage over the ongoing migrant crisis along the southern border, Mexico announced plans to begin construction on a wall to keep illegal immigrants from coming back. The idea to build a wall along its northern border, which Mexican leaders said they came up with all by themselves, will prevent unvetted and unidentified migrants from entering the country, thereby making Mexico a safer, more secure nation. "It's going to be a big, beautiful wall," said Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. "We're going to build a wall and we're going to make the United States pay for it. If the U.S. thinks they can just send endless waves of Mexican gang members, criminals, rapists, and murderers into Mexico, they've got another thing coming. A nation without borders is not a nation. We've got to build a wall and make Mexico great again!" On this day: March 20, 1969 - John Lennon Born on this day: March 20, 1937 - Jerry Reed There may be competency issues.

U r right. We can all throw rocks at Gov. Hogan (R-MD), because fat, leftwing azalea. However, since he's a nominal Republican, running on the GOP ballot line, I suspect it's safe to assume he'll vote with the GOP to organize the Senate. And that's not nothing! Unless we'd like to see Chuck Schumer doing his thing every day for the next 4 years. And yes, after that? Mitt Romney, Part II: The Nightmare Continues. So what? No worse than Cardin.

The kids have stunted their ability to communicate because they are not picking up on that. Indeed it is impossible aside from word choice and context to tell how someone means something.

I had a 6 volt 1960 VW Bus in the 70s where the starter solenoid had gone out, but you could put it neutral, lay on the ground with a screwdriver and jump between the starter terminals to start it. Easier thing was to backup a hill and just roll and pop the clutch. I eventually changed the starter, but kind of made a game of how long I was willing to put up with the weirdness. Like scoping out where to park to get the best roll. I needed treatment even then.

All this Beatles talk, for some reason, reminds me of a South Park episode where the kids have to read The Catcher in the Rye. When Cartman hears it's "very controversial", and inspired John Lennon's killer, he suddenly gets excited. I think he called Lennon "The King of the Hippies" or somesuch.

Everyone tells you to buy ammo, and I agree, brass and lead is a good investment. However I'm telling you to buy silver. Gold, today reached its all time high at over $2200 per ounce, while silver is at about 1/2 its all time high of $50 per ounce. The last time I checked the silver spot price was just over $25 per ounce. With the rate that "shit for brains" is inflating the dollar you can expect silver to do nothing but climb. The people in India and China are buying enormous amounts, and the cartel of banks which has been shorting silver futures is way shy of being able to cover its shorts with actual silver. A pre 1965 dime has about $2 worth of silver in it.

When John Lennon was shot. I was living at home with my parents. I went to a divorced co-workers apartment, she was a female, we drank and listened to a 10cc album, I think. We smoked a joint too.
There was no lesbianism, neither of us was bent in that direction. I didn't know any lesbians until I went to an all girls college, wow that was scary. I lived with the Karen progenitors. Some of them were never the same after my high school friends descended en masse for fall weekend.

Actually I think your owl is pretty cool. Posted by: mnw at March 20, 2024 11 He is a great horned owl, but hard to get a picture of, he blends in. I couldn’t post one here anyway. Oh wait! I could send one to the pets page! I will do that. Posted by: Piper I'm kind of jealous you have your own owl. It's not really a pet. It's an opportunist taking advantage of the situation. Maybe it follows you on walks to make sure nothing happens to its reliable food distributor. You feeding it is a hell a of a lot easier than hunting.

Never knew that Robert Hegyes was a cousin to both Mario Lanza and Jon Bon Jovi.
Posted by: Philly/Jersey People at March 20, 2024 11:58 PM (V5BDR) Hegyes got his start by being an unknown extra on the streets of Brooklyn when they were filming 'Dog Day Afternoon'. Hegyes had numerous changes of clothes handy so he always 'looked' different when walking on the street in crowd shots. After a while, the crew was like, 'Who is this guy?'

As a Vietnam Vet, I can promise you: IT IS MUCH WORSE NOW THAN IT WAS THEN. The hippies were a media invention, they were limited to a small region in CA. The weathermen were nothing like Antifa and BLM in the summer of 2020. You could discuss issues in College classes. We were busy stacking dead Communists by the tens of thousands, not electing them to office. We had nothing like the alien invasion. The lawfare against political foes did not exist. One of my neighbor families were staunch liberals. They were good friends, I even dated their daughter. We had civil discussions about politics. The wife had been president of a PTA in Maryland, Spiro Agnew was her VP. They happily went to Nixon's inauguration when Agnew invited them. All of what is happening today is literally unprecedented.

In re Thomas Friedman, I recall an up-and-coming academic star who despised an older, tenured professor with a decent list of publications. The future star of academe told our entire class at that particular SEC-affiliated university that the older guy was "the most undeserving person ever." (Full disclosure here - the allegedly undeserving guy helped me nail my first decent-paying job in a substantial way, so I obviously disagree with that assessment of the fellow.)
The academic whose star was ascendant was sorely mistaken. Thomas Friedman is the most undeserving person ever. His columns, his books, his commentary are the most inane and shallow pieces of work that one would only expect to find in a developmental English class. He fails the first test of true scholarship - he doesn't even know what he doesn't know. Surely this has to be an open secret among the high-level media outlets, one would have to think, but we are talking about current media, so...

To clarify my last comment above, I don't have any dislike for Friedman, unless or until a security or diplomatic was developed based on his superficial and shallow reading of developing trends on either a regional or global level. But judging by the people I've had the privilege to know who deal in such matters, they've got far more academic knowledge and professional experience than Friedman could ever attain, even if he applied himself, which he manifestly doesn't.
No, no dislike for the man, nor even contempt - just pity for someone so far out of his depth with no one being willing to set him straight. Posted by: John Drake at March 21, 2024 01:44 AM (YlVKd) 442

Oh, I guess that countdown is for beginning of livestream... don't know if I'll make it to launch in ~40 minutes

I've also got the yawns pretty bad. I have Oscar (approx 13) sleeping next to me and I'm sort of jealous. Oscar is a ginger tabby, no white at all.

Gosh, Ciampino-- you've got a LOT of cats! Seems every time I read your posts, there's *another* kitteh mentioned.
How many do you have now? (do you know for sure, even?) ![]() Posted by: JQ at March 21, 2024 02:05 AM (njWTi) 453
My one and only Cat is outside now. Wish he was more of a snuggler, but he's a 'barn cat' and not used to being petted much.
He's a good boy, though. Kills his fair share of mice and rats. And birds. He got a Common Flicker *sometime since yesterday afternoon* but didn't eat it. Ugh! Tell nurse there's ONE LESS woodpecker in the world LOL Posted by: JQ at March 21, 2024 02:09 AM (njWTi) 454
Yes, I keep a spreadsheet for recording various items, vet visits, flea treatment, etc. It didn't help that those 5 rescues ended up being 9 with Biscuit's babies. Now we have 7 more! No more pregnant cats please ....!

Re: Larry Hogan
Hogan and Romney may be similarly squishy. But in this scenario, the GOP nets a 2 seat gain. Utah is already red, they can elect a more conservative candidate, while Hogan flips a seat from a deep blue state.

Posted by: Moron Robbie- Your view has the 1st hamstringing the government in the most important times at March 21, 2024 01:33 AM (+RC1q) ---- "Studies" degrees. Posted by: Ciampino - what a farce at March 21, 2024 01:39 AM (qfLjt) That's the crux of the biscuit: D.E.I., where plagiarism is a white man's crime. So is cheating, which includes plagiarism. They also cannot stand academic study results which go against the evil white man oppressor woke narrative. Posted by: RickZ at March 21, 2024 02:59 AM (emlEe) 464
The various Studies" fields actually had a promising beginning - they were drawing from the French Annales school of historical analysis, which sought to synthesize insights from as many respectable disciplines as possible.
Middle Eastern Studies, for example, began as a truly interdisciplinary field, where economists, archaeologists, ethnographers, political scientists, historians and sociologists came together to flesh out as full a picture of SW Asia as could possibly be obtained. The door was open to even more academic specialists who felt they could offer further refinement. New disciplines arose, in conjunction with emerging technologies, an example of this being cliometrics. Scholars had to master the relevant languages of the region, and there was a high rigor expected of any research conducted. For a brief time, it was an exciting field that shaped understanding about a world region that had before been somewhat of an enigma. The Studies programs you see now are the direct result of people breaching the perimeter of genuine scholarly endeavor and perverting it to their contemptible ends.

In the increasingly unlikely hope that someone might read my above comment, please understand that I'm speaking from within the world of Academe, and that what I described is generally accurate across the full range of American universities, whether elite or not.

446 Sorry, that should read "security or diplomatic policy."
Posted by: John Drake at March 21, 2024 01:50 AM (YlVKd) Glad you amended "security or diplomatic was," because I had tried to gloss it as "a security or diplomatic war" and wasn't getting it. Posted by: m at March 21, 2024 03:35 AM (o3SCB) 467

Thanks for the reply, m - I just strongly feel that Thomas Friedman is the Tommy Wiseau of Middle Eastern and global analysts. I don't dislike Wiseau either; it's just that he shouldn't be acting and directing movies any more than Friedman should be a go-to on serious subjects either within or without his area of "expertise."

I guess Tom Freidman doesn't see that the Israelis are willing to forge a new relationship with the Palestinians.
They were forging away last night, killing 90 of them hiding in a hospital. I mean, that's "new" innit? "Hello. You want to kill of us so we decided to kill you first. Welcome to our new relationship." Posted by: thesgm at March 21, 2024 07:25 AM (bIA6Y) Processing 0.06, elapsed 0.0802 seconds. |
