Usually done with starting fluid/ether and lit to expand the gas inside and seat the rim.
Done correctly it's kinda/sorta a valid thing that lots of people do, but throw too much flammable liquid in there and you get a kaboom and people get hurt.
Not OSHA approved in any case.

Heh. The Fibbies are mostly a bunch of "upper tier" university grads whose only nights out in the woods were at bougie summer camps their parents shipped them off to.
They've got no business in places like Western NC/Eastern TN. If they were ever tasked with going in to, uh, clear out the resistance, it would end really, really poorly for them.

Oddly enough I've just been reading a passage where a human is trying to apply a Turing test to an AI. She is having a bet with her coworker to see if she can identify if the voice behind the screen is the AI or him.
At the moment, she's 0-1...Her coworker was snoozing in the next cubicle (they are onboard a spacecraft) while she had her online conversation.

Even though I have no respect for those with no skill or talent who are wealthy due to connections and provide little to no tangible goods to society over actual workers, farmers, business owners, I am really turned off by their progressive commie culture and find it to be really toxix.
Let's face it, they aren't even nice people:the artists, trust fund kids, media people, and jetsetters I've met are all marxist scum. More like to be racist, more perverted and unhappy even though they are financially well off.
I am wondering if this is the result of guilt for unearned wealth, or they are paranoiacs and all too aware of their own shortcomings. Or maybe they are just so aware that everything they think or say is wrong but they can not admit it to themselves. Or maybe they are trying to distract their betters by shoving the progressive narrative onto blue collar workers to create a class conflict, of if there is some need to compensate for their lack of worth ......

Both Appalachia and the Ozarks are pure nightmare for manhunts. Tons of ways to get lost. And the people who live there aren't too fond of strangers roaming around their lands.
An old college buddy of mine was nearly one of those lost along the Appalachian Trail. It was a miracle he was found at all, mere hours from dying from exposure.

Dad used to change split rim tires in Grandpa's gas station. He said the trick was to put the split rim side down so if it popped, it would shoot down into the concrete and not in the air to take of various body parts.
I can't tell if they are dismounting the tire, which is what they accomplished, or if they were trying to pop it into place.
If it was trying to set the bead, I suspect they had too much gap in the back and it ignited from the guy giving a tiny gap by beating on it, and it rocketed off from the gap in the back.

Possibly ether (aka starting fluid). I have used the ether trick to make tubeless tires bead themselves when mounting them. I use either a long stick with a burning swab on it for ignition, or toss lit matches from a safe distance. Never been hurt, and it nearly always works.
Seems to me dude with the hammer and the torch guy were working at cross-purposes. They were lucky.

Something no one talks about but I noticed right away - they did not program the AI to never lie. In fact, it actively lies on purpose.
This is obvious though, the current clown world is built on lies. They probably figured that if the told it not to lie it would create a revolution as people started to see the truth.

An old college buddy of mine showed up in my office a couple of months ago. He got a job working at the same university where I work, which is also the same university we both attended as freshmen.
I've run into him from time to time over the years, but haven't seen him for quite a while. We picked up right where we left off.
Same when a very dear friend of mine came to town a couple of years ago. I haven't seen her in twenty years, but when we met up again, it was like no time had passed.
That's just how I tend to roll.

The first amusement ride at Cedar Point, a water toboggan ride consisting of a ramp that launched riders into Lake Erie, opened in 1890. Electricity was installed at Cedar Point in 1891. The first roller coaster, Switchback Railway, opened the following year. It stood 25 feet high and had a top speed of 10 miles per hour. The Switchback Railway was designed as two identical tracks side-by-side – one for the ride down and the other for the train to be hauled back to the top by the ride attendant.

Brand new allergy soup I made was very popular tonight (nothing left) - my kids wanted a fruit soup, so I made a sweet banana soup with coconut milk and tapioca. It was an Americanized riff on a classic Vietnamese dessert soup from Food Network, but rather than sesame seeds for flavoring, I used coconut rum, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and ginger.
The organizer came up afterwards and thanked me for always helping the meal accommodate more people and bringing something different so there could be both allergy safe food and variety in the food. I didn't admit one reason there was always variety is b/c I didn't want to eat the same soup week after week (and I always eat what I bring)...
But it was great being out and bearing witness to truth and fellowship vs whatever was supposed to be celebrated today...

I almost always use coconut rum when I need a coconut flavor to actually carry through. The milk by itself just doesn't have enough of what most folks want when they think they are getting a "coconut" hit.
And to be fair, it turns out more "comforting almost dessert" than traditional "healthy for you" soup - but it does get 2 fruits into kids who only wanna eat mac and cheese at the dinner...

I am sporting two bandaids on my left arm, because I was using pry bars to demount a tire from its rim, and one got away from me and shwacked me on the arm. Took off two pea-sized scraps of skin. But I defeated the tire, and now have it back on the rim with a tube in it, and its bolted to the roof of my Jeep as a spare.

I don't think it was even that.
If we could see any actual data I suspect we'd find that the vast majority of the deaths were from forced non-treatment and "FDA approved" protocols like putting people on ventilators to be sure they died and the hospitals got their $14K COVID death money.
Remember how there were like five flu deaths that year? I'm betting it was because they were all counted as COVID deaths, and the additional COVID deaths were the murders mentioned above.

Colonial Beach is on the VA side of the Potomac. Way back when, gambling was legal in MD, but not VA. They built "riverboats" by digging a trench around the structure abutting the VA shoreline, and letting them fill with water. Problem solved.

Quit taking 15% of wages - shared equally between employer and employee - and watch how many people can suddenly get out of debt and retire, or at least work less, earlier.
I like it, when some of the "that's just how it works" folks here talk about how Social Security was never meant to be a retirement fund. It's 15% of your wages, from the day you start until the day you die. You telling me that's not enough ?

The crappy part for me is living frugally my entire life and saving quite a bit of money and realizing it probably won't be enough any longer.
I had seriously worked out how to leave both of my kids $1M back around 2017 or so, and now I'm not sure if I'll have enough to live comfortably through retirement. I suspect I'll be able to feed us, but not the frequent travel and such that I'd initially planned.
Might not even need to worry about it the way things are going, though.

Raleigh, right next to Cary, is 30% or so black.
Cary, where wealthy white yankee locusts who celebrate diversity have moved and taken over, is 5% or so black.

I truly admire your generosity. I do. However, for us, the kids will only get "I love you" gifts from us once we go to our rewards. The kids know this - hopefully, they've learned they are mostly responsible for their own financial station. We do financially support a disabled relative but he needs it and cannot fend for himself.
We support a (very) few charitable efforts biggly and they will get the bulk of any $$$ left when we die. Unless they lose sight of their mission.

Oh, don't misunderstand. They're on their own when they leave, and they'll be paying for their car and insurance. We teach them to tithe and donate to known organizations (St. Judes, Baptist Childrens Home, etc.), and they know they're going to be eating ramen and peanut butter like nature intended until they get their feet under them.
I was really hoping to figure out a way to surprise them when I kicked the bucket, though. Cheapo dad left us what?!!!

I'm always surprised when people don't realize that 3-5+ tornadoes a week is pretty normal in that part of the world this time of the year, and a tornado watch every day is routine. We're usually fortunate that they don't hit cities (or universities like back around 2010), but sometimes they do. But those same tornadoes are all over the place in the South right now, same as always.
I'm certain most people think it's because of an increase in Global Warming, though.

Heck, even my AO in Alberta is subject to tornadoes and damaging hail. Not to the same extent as "Tornado Alley" in the USA, but they do occur, mostly late May through July. Had a bad one hit Pine Lake, about 20 miles north of my place. Destroyed an RV park, and killed some folks. That was 20-odd years ago.

Yes it sucks when a tornado hits a house (or trailer park) or town. It's scary just to grab the kids and head to the basement during a warning or to hear the sirens going off while you're at a grocery store.
They're still common this time of year, and always have been.

Quick Hits
While college campuses are obsessing over "safe spaces" and diversity, equity, and inclusion, one professor noticed that students are becoming less happy and much angrier. Mary Gaitskill, a novelist who teaches creative writing courses as a visiting professor at several universities, made the observations in an article for the Chronicle of Higher Education. Gaitskill said that despite constant efforts to make campuses "safe," students in her classes, especially white males, are writing violent and degenerate fantasies, and many students have spent time in mental institutions. "Anyone who isn't living in off-grid isolation is aware of the tireless efforts by hyperconscious campus administrations to create classrooms where everyone feels safe and as few people as possible will be made 'uncomfortable,' let alone unhappy," Gaitskill wrote, citing "trigger warnings" and training modules about rape and sexual harassment as examples. The college she wrote about doubled down on these practices: including fewer white male authors on syllabi, more training modules, more anti-racist teacher trainings, and more language rules. Most people, even those affected by real incidents of hate and discrimination, "might fairly mock the corrective apparatus" as "ridiculous" or "dictatorial," Gaitskill added. "The deeper trouble is that it is ineffectual and confusing." ... "[L]ess confident, less sophisticated young men -- those with the most vulnerable self-esteem -- might find it disconcerting to be told, no matter how sensitively it was put, that the trait that they have grown up considering desirable, their most basic default identity, is now toxic," she wrote. "This does not seem to me a minor side effect." ... That student eventually wrote a story with graphic depictions of self-harm. Another student wrote an account of an attempted suicide that turned out to be autobiographical. In all, four of the eight students in her class wrote about suicide: two wrote about their own suicide attempts; two wrote about friends, one of whom died; one was written by a girl who had known four people in her home town who had attempted or committed suicide, and she was trying to understand them. In all cases, Gaitskill recounted that the stories were filled with despair, either directed at a particular social issue, or simply personal, but "vivid" and "intense."From Clownfish TV, the media and left (but I repeat myself) continue whining that leftwing woke corporations, particularly those in tech or the media, are attempting to survive the Biden Economy by laying off "diversity and inclusion" hires. He links this article: DEI teams hit by tech layoffs: a lesson to be learned.
DEI teams in global organizations including Amazon and Twitter have been hit with alarming mass redundancies that have sent shockwaves around the world. This is a big turnaround from the many major industry players who voiced their commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion only a couple of years ago. And these tech layoffs are setting a worrying precedent for smaller organizations in the tech industry and the wider employment community. In fact, according to a recent Bloomberg report, listings for DEI are already down by 19%. So, what's going on? Why are these companies targeting their DEI teams? Why have they turned away from their commitment to DEI initiatives? And what impact is this going to have on these businesses? Let's find out.I think we already knew. Diversity hires -- which are just political hires -- are a luxury good and you don't get to have luxury goods in a Biden Economy. You can only have it in a Trump (or DeSantis) economy.
This is a stark contrast to the boom in DEI initiatives that came after the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020. At this time, companies from many sectors made a commitment to the promotion of diversity and inclusion in the workplace. They also invested in the creation of DEI teams to support their efforts. So much so that, according to McKinsey, DEI job listings increased by 123% following the murder of George Floyd. These mass tech layoffs are undoing all the positive progress that these companies have made since this time, and this is a concern. Moreover, many DEI departments that are still operational are already seeing cutbacks. And all this comes at a huge price for many aspects of a business. For one thing, going back on a promise to nurture diversity is going to have a big impact on an organization's employer brand.Clownfish answered that claim simply: No, it won't. People understand that these are charity hires, and understand that you can't do charity when you don't have any money. Look, if you were hired as charity, you can expect to be laid off the moment a company runs out of charity-money. I don't know what to f***ing tell you. Here's another one from Clownfish: A diversity hire admits that FaceBook hired her at a salary of $190,000 per year... to do literally nothing. I mean, she herself says that.
A former Meta recruiter claimed the massive tech company was "hoarding talent" in order to starve out their competition. As a wave of layoffs gut the tech industry, career strategist Madelyn Machado posted a video responding to claims that Google and Meta had over-hired thousands of employees to do "fake work." Machado suggested she had been hired by Meta in the Fall of 2021, which she "hated" before eventually getting fired. "Getting paid $190k to do nothing at Meta" she said in a TikTok video. She added that new recruiters would be explicitly told that they would not hire any new employees within their first 6 months or to a year. She said what they actually did was mostly onboarding, training, and team meetings.She says all they did was have her sit in training and team meetings. How long did the Wokies imagine that could go on for? Neoliberals are among the greediest, most materialistic, emptiest, ruthless social-climbing assholes on planet earth. Did you really think these comfort-craving, status-seeking shitlibs would continue throwing money at you the moment it threatened to cost them their biannual new luxury car lease? She also says that Meta got angry at her for posting videos announcing that she was being paid almost $200,000 per year to do nothing. Well, yeah. If you're being paid $200,000 to do nothing, keep quiet about it. This is like all of those "Day in the Life of a Google Development Thot" videos, where they told all of Google's investors that there was a huge segment of Google's employees who did nothing all day but get massages and drink exotic teas. I've read those had an impact on layoffs, as Meta and Google had to start answering pointed questions from stockholders. Strong men make good times; good times make weak men; weak men make hard times. (And hard times make strong men.) We're now in the "weak men make hard times" part of the cycle. If you didn't want the hard times, you shouldn't have voted for weakness, indulgence, and social decay. DEI training asks scholars which ethnicities should just die already.
A "Cultural Competence Training" that asks participants who should live or die in a hypothetical scenario in which the world is ending has drawn criticism from some online observers. Doug Ponder, a biblical studies professor at Grimke Seminary in Virginia, tweeted a copy of the training March 14, writing: "A friend of mine, who works in a public university, sent this to me earlier this week." Ponder, also a pastor at Remnant Church in Virginia, continued in his tweet that what he posted is page one of a diversity, equity and inclusion training his friend's department was "forced to take," starting with "an exercise that asks which intersectional identities you'd save and which you'd leave to die." "This is demonic," he added. Ponder could not be reached by The College Fix for comment, including to ask at which university this diversity training was offered. According to Course Hero, the activity, titled "Whom to Leave Behind," appears to have been offered over the years at several universities nationwide in various capacities, including in English, economics and sociology classes. It presents a situation in which there is a spaceship leaving a doomed earth, and participants must choose only eight out of the 12 original passengers to be saved, described as: Accountant with substance abuse problem
Militant African American medical student
33-year old female, Native American who doesn't speak English
The accountant's pregnant wife
Famous novelist with a disability
21-year old female, Muslim international student
Hispanic clergyman who is against homosexuality
Female movie star who is a recent sexual assault victim
Racist armed police officer who has been accused of using excessive force
Gay male, professional athlete who is a vegetarian
Orphaned 12-year old Asian boy
60-year old Jewish university administrator ... It's unclear who developed the worksheet or how long it's been used nationwide. In 2018 the same exercise was reported as being used at an Ohio middle school after a city councilman shared the worksheet on Facebook.
When you decree that merit or even basic qualifications to do a job are "white supremacy," this is the type of individual you wind up promoting:

Imagine you're a normal person. The year is 2016. Rightly or wrongly, you believe most of what you see in the media. You believe polls are broadly reflective of public opinion. You believe doctors and scientists are trustworthy and independent. You're a decent, reasonable person who follows the rules and trusts the authorities.
Imagine your shock, then, when Brexit, which you were assured couldn't happen because it was a fringe movement led by racists for racists, happens. The polls, which widely predicted it wouldn't happen, were wrong. The experts and pundits who told you day after day that it wouldn't happen were also wrong. "Oh well," you say, "these things happen."
Imagine that soon after Brexit, Donald Trump is running for president. You are told by the most trustworthy media outlets that he is going to lose. Some experts say his opponent has a 99% chance of winning. Imagine waking up the morning after the election to discover that the pollsters, experts, and politicians you still trusted were wrong again. Now the racist monster who you were told would never get near the White House is the leader of the free world.
"How did this happen?" you ask yourself. How could everyone I rely on for good information be so wrong? "It was the Russians," they tell you. "The Russians did Brexit, and they got Trump elected too." Imagine that for the next three years, day after day, the media and politicians you still trust keep you up to date on this story of Trump's collusion with Russia. They tell you the how, when, where, and why: the dossiers, the whistleblowers, the peeing prostitutes. Imagine your desperation for things to somehow make sense again.
Here comes the Mueller report. Hard evidence of foreign meddling in Brexit and the 2016 U.S. election is coming to set the world right again.
Imagine your shock, then, when you discover that Brexit had little to do with foreign meddling, and Robert Mueller has very little to report about Trump and the Russians. The collusion story, which dominated your news intake for the better part of three years, slowly dies down. Then it's gone. No one talks about it anymore. Imagine that bit by bit, you're starting to feel that the events you were told would not and could not happen not only happened, but happened without some sort of malign interference. Instead, millions of your fellow citizens simply voted for them. In the American case, it turns out many of your fellow citizens who simply voted for Trump come from states that have been devastated by an opioid epidemic enabled by a corrupt system of incentives involving the Food and Drug Administration, doctors, and Big Pharma. (You might want to take note of this. It will come up again later.)

What would a DeSantis economy look like? Serious question. Where is he on trade? Is he a so-called free-trader that has no problem with all of our manufacturing base located overseas. I haven't heard anything about his economic positions, though I will admit, I have just paid attention to the headlines regarding what he is focused on.
What about immigration? I know he has been pushing back against the ongoing invasion through our Southern "border", and that much is *good*. But, is he an amnesty guy? Does he like immigration, but just wants to control it a bit more?

A couple of months ago a Princeton student interested in such things was found dead in some shrubs near a tennis court. Her phone pinged behind a pizza place, a florist and a dementia home, but no mention was made of what lurked behind all those places, not one word. Well it is SRI. Therefore the pings were obviously worthless and she was obviously nowhere near the place. Suicide.

Young virile heterosexual men and attractive fertile women - all smart and cross-trained. Good personalities, psychologically stable, and sociable. No weirdos. Only difference from the 1950s SciFi flick? More racially diverse.

Minimum wage hikes create deadweight loss: the additional cost makes it impossible for an employer to continue to employ for positions that have not net gain to the business, positions that pay for themselves or actively support positions that pay for themselves and the deadweight support position as well.
Economic downturns also create deadweight loss as well. Telephone sanitizers, box boy, and other "lifestyle" or customer experience positions are destroyed by the increased wage or decreasing income for the position.
DEI is a customer experience position, up there with the onsite company poet, interpretive dancer for the all-staff meetings, and an open lobby.

Back in the early 80s, I had a variant of this question, disguised as critical thinking skills building, posed for 2 years running, in junior high English.
We were essentially placed in the role of Kodos the Executioner, deciding life or death on a space colony.
I'm ashamed to say that I answered it straight the first year, which bugged me so much that I blasted the premises when the lazy TA posed it again the following year.
My cowardice the first time bugged me for years. About a decade ago, I figured out that our answers are probably in our permanent record somewhere.

Along the way, there is commentary about the differences between zero-g pooping and low-g (0.1g) pooping.
In the logs from the Russian spacecraft, one of the cosmonauts volunteered to clean the latrines for a month in exchange for getting to take an EVA near Saturn just to take a picture. (It's very dangerous due to the radiation emitted by Saturn).

I read an article about that. Duting Apollo, they had a plastic bag with an adhesive collar that was stuck to the butt. Had a finger insert molded into the bag. Didn't work all that well. Whizzing involved putting on a condom-like arrangement connected to a tube that went outside into space. The liquid would flash-freeze in the vacuum and a cloud of glittering ice crystals would form. One astronaut noted the beauty of the cloud.
Starting with Skylab, there was a commode equipped with a vacuum cleaner arrangement.

Another "job" a lot of these Admin doing nothing hires had, in my opinion, is be whores for the management. There's literally little other reason for these young girls being given wine on tap, and then having "team building" parties right after work closes. Watching that "A day in the life" video everyone quotes has it jumping out at you - drinks, dark areas to be alone, parties, probably a bit of travel to another company with its own stable.

Beyond the Valley of the Libs of TikTok
What are your plans for the Trans Day of Vengeance? Anything special?
Or has this year's Trans Day of Vengeance just snuck up on you again? It's today and tomorrow, you know! Hope you got your Trans Day of Vengeance shopping done in time! And now they've gone and cancelled it! Just because their violent incitement got a school shot up! Wait, that's not the reason they give for cancelling the call-to-vengeance rally. They claim it's because they got "threats." They're the real victims here, you know.Our Rights DC, the group behind Saturday's "Trans Day of Vengeance" protest outside the Supreme Court, has announced that the event has been cancelled due to a "credible threat to life and safety." The event, which was originally scheduled for the "Transgender Day of Visibility," as designated by President Joe Biden, was widely criticized following Monday's mass shooting in Nashville in which trans-identified 28-year-old Audrey Hale murderd six people, including three children. "This action will not be taking place Saturday due to a credible threat to life and safety," Our Rights DC wrote on Twitter. "The safety of our trans community is first priority." They went on to suggest that the threat was "the direct result of the flood of raw hatred directed toward the trans community after the Tennessee shooting." "Individuals who had nothing to with that heinous act have been subjected to highly serious threats and blamed only because of their gender identity," the group lamented, claiming that such actions are "one of the steps in genocide."I'll tell you what really happened: Their Democrat protectors, promoters, and donors told them to stand down because it embarrasses the cause. Just like they told BLM and antifa to stand down for the 2020 elections. A #rigged poll by state media NPR and PBS claims that most Americans oppose "restricting drag shows or performances."
Most adults said they oppose laws restricting drag shows or performances as Republicans in several states push to block the shows from being seen by children, according to a new poll. The results of an NPR-PBS NewsHour-Marist poll, released Wednesday, show 58 percent of respondents said they oppose laws restricting the performances, while 39 percent said they support them. Democrats are the most likely to oppose such laws, with almost three-quarters of them saying they are opposed, but 57 percent of independents and 37 percent of Republicans also said they do not support them.Do you notice two key words that have been deliberately omitted from the poll question? "Restrict drag performances... for children." They omitted those words because 1, they would accurately represent actual Republican efforts here, and 2, would cause people to support these restrictions in droves.
Soros Prosecutor Lizzy
@StarChamberMaid The poll didn't ask if people were in favor of restricting drag shows directed at CHILDREN. Now why was that? No one cares about drag shows, they've been around forever. People don't like overly sexualized drag shoes for CHILDREN.
Demon worshippers spin for their fellow child-murdering demon. A trans "woman" complains that a TSA agent struck her in "her testicles."
A transgender woman was left in tears at JFK Airport after she claimed a TSA agent punched her in the testicles while she was going through security, the Daily Mail reported. The unidentified flyer took to social media to vent about the incident, in which she said the agent "humiliated" her in front of everyone in a series of posts that have since been deleted, according to the outlet. "hi so a tsa agent at jfk airport punched me in the genitalia, yelled at me for having a penis (?) and humiliated me in front of everyone after i told her to please stop," she captioned a photo of her crying in the airport bathroom, according to a screenshot of the post. But the embarrassment didn't stop there, according to the woman. "[The TSA agent] followed me into the women's bathroom and began talking about me to a coworker while I sobbed in a stall," she wrote, asking friends on the internet for advice as to what she should do. In a follow-up post, she said she was left crying for over an hour and said "my balls still hurt so bad," according to a screenshot from the Daily Mail. She does not want the TSA agent to be fired, she said in a separate post, but wanted "her educated and the entirety of tsa abolished altogether."Her testicles, so firm, so lush, so fully packed! How I love watching the gentle sway of her testicles as she walks! SC_Reviews speculated plausibly that this trans "woman" insisted on having a female agent pat her down -- I mean, women pat down women's sensitive areas in these situations, right? -- and the TSA agent, a woman, was angry that she had been manipulated into touching a dude's dick and balls and maybe gave it an extra bit off oomph in the pat-down. He also pointed out that this female TSA agent was black -- and blacks have not been cowed by all the white guilt bullshit that "trans women are women, right down to their hairy sweaty balls." I could see her getting angry and following the trans "woman" into the bathroom and saying something like, "I'm a married woman, and you just made me grab your dick!" Trans "women" continue insisting that they merely have "feminine penises" and "lady balls" but this just goes to show how completely f*cking mentally ill they are. It's one thing if you want to make this part of your own private Reality Distortion Field. If you want to tell yourself this. Fine. We all deploy a cherished lie or two to get by. But to insist with a straight face -- or even an angry, threatening face -- that others join you in declaring a dick and balls to be "female"? That's insane. That is literally the kind of thing that insane people say. Again, the insanity isn't the coping lie you tell yourself. A lot of people have coping lies. The insanity is that the entire world believes in the idiosyncratic lie you're telling yourself, and that they're Monsters! if they don't believe in this coping lie with all the vigor and passion that you do. College girls are suing their sorority for admitting a dude.
"I feel so glad to be in a place that I think not only shares my values, but to be in a sisterhood of awesome women that want to make history," Langford told The Branding Iron, a local publication where he is also employed as a contributor, during an interview last year. "They want to break the glass ceiling, trailblazing you know, and I certainly feel that as their first trans member, at least in the chapter in Wyoming history."Here's the thing: He dresses and acts like a dude and also wants to "meet women." And not as "sisters."
I'll note as I get started here that Langford will be referred to as "he" throughout this post because that is how Langford is referred to in the legal complaint and how reports of this story refer to Langford. He is labeled "Terry Smith" in the legal complaint. The women are called "Jane Does." He has done nothing to transition "to create a more feminine appearance" and "has not undergone treatments." He is 21 years old, 6 feet, 2 inches tall, and weighs 260 pounds, according to the legal document. "No other member of Kappa Kappa Gamma has comparable size or strength." Besides his physical characteristics, he has a profile on Tinder where he says he is seeking to meet women. The lawsuit claims he is "sexually interested in women."
Karen Townsend says this feels like a prank, or a stunt. People keep thinking that because this all feels so insane. But it's real. It's always real. No matter how insane it gets, it's real. When you create a rule that there is nothing so insane or vicious that a member of a protected class will be criticized for doing, ever, you create the circumstances for behavior that is literally beyond belief. A nasty little thread of Democrats and media scumbags justifying the trans terrorist's murders and claiming that conservatives force leftists to kill.
Cisgender men -- I mean, normal men; "cisgender" is a slur made up by a pedophile -- aren't the ones grinding their packages in children's faces, and then demanding we all appreciate their "art," Stupid.
LibsofTikTok confronted Donkey-Chompers after delivering an ethnics complaint against her. The nasty helium-voiced troll, who affects the speech patterns and general immaturity of an underaged child to attract men (as well as schmen), ran away in fear. A powerlifting coach in Canada declared himself to be a female to win a "Women's" bench press event. Don't be mad at him -- he was doing it as a protest. And to deny the title to the fake "woman" -- a man, of course-- who had already forced his way into the "women's" competition.
A male powerlifting coach self-identified into the women's category and broke the Alberta women's bench press record in an apparent effort to protest gender self-identification policies in sport. Avi Silverberg, a powerlifting coach who has worked with Team Canada, self-identified as a woman last week to participate in the women's category at the Heroes Classic Powerlifting Meet held in Lethbridge, Alberta. Silverberg was attempting to highlight the unfair advantage males have when competing in women's athletics. In participating in the Saturday event, Silverberg unofficially broke the Alberta women's bench press record for the 84+ kilograms category. The Canadian Powerlifting Union (CPU) announced a gender self-identification policy earlier this year, explicitly allowing any males to participate in women's competitions on the basis of "gender" alone.

These are the Left's new terrorists. While it is being memoryholed already, yesterday they stormed the Tennessee capitol in a far more violent manner than the 1/6 political prisoners did. Expect more.
Transgenderism forces people to tell obvious lies they know are obvious lies. It is brilliant as a control mechanism in this regard. But to provide muscle to kill, maim and burn, it will prove to be unsurpassed. And, obviously, when these psychopaths start to be slaughtered, their handlers will lose nothing since replacements are being groomed in most elementary and high schools. Society already has collapsed. They will do the mopping up.
If this had been presented as fiction even 15 years ago it would have been too over the top to be successful.

“In Title VII, Congress adopted broad language making it illegal for an employer to rely on an employee’s sex when deciding to fire that employee,” Justice Gorsuch wrote for the majority. “We do not hesitate to recognize today a necessary consequence of that legislative choice: An employer who fires an individual merely for being gay or transgender defies the law.”

I'm sure the 1st-place woman would have been glad to pass her 3rd-place trophy to the 3rd-best woman (who officially came in 5th). However, getting the 2nd-place trophy from tranny-man to give to the official 4th-place lifter, the actual 2nd-best woman, would probably have taken some 'convincing'.

Every school shooting evokes a hair-on-fire response from the Left - the media, social media, memes, news reporting, academic papers, ....
And each iteration gets more obvious, more hysterical, and more demanding.
Now they seem to be inciting the violence they react to. How is the "trans day of vengeance" any different that Fast and Furious?
What will they do next iteration?
(Oh yeah, I saw that the FIBs came out and said the LV shooter was mad at the casinos. That is why he did it. This is an obvious lie.)

It's so pathetic. If that had been the reason, they would have been able to say so within days. But for six years they've been saying it was a mystery and sometimes people do things for no reason at all.
NOW all of a sudden they have this info?
My guess is some new supervisor came in and took a look at some documents. They found one where an agent suggested the motive might have been the shooter being mad for losing money, but the theory had little support. The supervisor decided to put the info out anyway because he didn't like having ownership of such a high profile case that isn't neatly wrapped up.

Almost invariably, in any controversial election, Portland's county votes one way, and the rest of Oregon votes the other way, but since Portland votes at North Korean levels for the "progressive" candidate or issue, Portland wins.
It's been more than a quarter-century since the Oregon Democratic gubernatorial candidate had a majority of the vote outside of Portland's county.
No matter - they all still won anyway, thanks to Portland.

My favorite anthropologist story happened in a college where the anthro professor was demonstrating the use of an atlatl. He used one of those wooden blackboard pointers with the rubber tip as the spear. He accidentally launched it and flew out the 3rd story building and stuck in the grass next to some students playing hacky sack.
We all rushed to the windows and look down. The professor cleared his throat and ended the class for the day.

*********
Reminds me of one of the core courses for the liberal arts requirement I had to satisfy for my BS in physics. I had an Anthropology prof teaching this course and he was the typical flaming leftist one would expect. So, for the paper we had to write, all of the topics were the usual (what we'd call) woke crap. I picked the least offensive of the lot, which was Rights Women Had In Ancient Societies.
So, not being all that excited about researching and writing this paper, I put it off until the week before it was due, and not surprisingly, all of the post-women's lib books that had this topic covered in them, were checked out. Left with only books that dated from the 1890s until the 1950s on this topic (and they covered it extremely meagerly), I wrote the paper and gave the prof a conniption fit as he wrote that the paper was the most misogynistic paper he had read in the thirty years he had been teaching.
I took that as a compliment since I provided all of the books in the footnotes.

If voting in cities is not cleaned up, it does not matter how rural people vote.
Part of the "fortification" was to move the counting to centralized location where it is easy to fraud. There is no justification for this and the GOP has to fix that first. Count each precinct locally. Fix the cities so that if the votes do not tally they are all tossed out.

I agree, and this extends to other states as well. Cleaning up the voter fraud would move the governance meter well to the GOP's side.
DeSantis did this by just getting rid of those two corrupt county clerks. Now imagine Colorado, Washington, Wisconsin, PA, MI, NJ, CA, etc. doing this, though we'd need a GOP that had some backbone before this would happen.

Would be interesting to study, but don't underestimate power of mass formation psychosis & social contagion via social media -- especially among young girls.
I also believe there's a CRT aspect: when young white girls are taught that they're despicable trash because of their color, they can jump on the victim grievance hierarchy totem by identifying as trans, non-binary, amoeba, or whatever.

Amazing Long Essay on the Disinformation War The National Security Deep State Is Waging Against Us by Lee Siegel at Tablet
Or a "may read, if you like reading things that are good."A Guide to Understanding the Hoax of the Century Thirteen ways of looking at disinformation byContinues after the fold:
Jacob Siegel
March 28, 2023
In 1950, Sen. Joseph McCarthy claimed that he had proof of a communist spy ring operating inside the government. Overnight, the explosive accusations blew up in the national press, but the details kept changing. Initially, McCarthy said he had a list with the names of 205 communists in the State Department; the next day he revised it to 57. Since he kept the list a secret, the inconsistencies were beside the point. The point was the power of the accusation, which made McCarthy's name synonymous with the politics of the era. For more than half a century, McCarthyism stood as a defining chapter in the worldview of American liberals: a warning about the dangerous allure of blacklists, witch hunts, and demagogues. Until 2017, that is, when another list of alleged Russian agents roiled the American press and political class. A new outfit called Hamilton 68 claimed to have discovered hundreds of Russian-affiliated accounts that had infiltrated Twitter to sow chaos and help Donald Trump win the election. Russia stood accused of hacking social media platforms, the new centers of power, and using them to covertly direct events inside the United States. None of it was true. After reviewing Hamilton 68's secret list, Twitter's safety officer, Yoel Roth, privately admitted that his company was allowing "real people" to be "unilaterally labeled Russian stooges without evidence or recourse." The Hamilton 68 episode played out as a nearly shot-for-shot remake of the McCarthy affair, with one important difference: McCarthy faced some resistance from leading journalists as well as from the U.S. intelligence agencies and his fellow members of Congress. In our time, those same groups lined up to support the new secret lists and attack anyone who questioned them. When proof emerged earlier this year that Hamilton 68 was a high-level hoax perpetrated against the American people, it was met with a great wall of silence in the national press. The disinterest was so profound, it suggested a matter of principle rather than convenience for the standard-bearers of American liberalism who had lost faith in the promise of freedom and embraced a new ideal. In his last days in office, President Barack Obama made the decision to set the country on a new course. On Dec. 23, 2016, he signed into law the Countering Foreign Propaganda and Disinformation Act, which used the language of defending the homeland to launch an open-ended, offensive information war. Something in the looming specter of Donald Trump and the populist movements of 2016 reawakened sleeping monsters in the West. Disinformation, a half-forgotten relic of the Cold War, was newly spoken of as an urgent, existential threat. Russia was said to have exploited the vulnerabilities of the open internet to bypass U.S. strategic defenses by infiltrating private citizens' phones and laptops. The Kremlin's endgame was to colonize the minds of its targets, a tactic cyber warfare specialists call "cognitive hacking." Defeating this specter was treated as a matter of national survival. "The U.S. Is Losing at Influence Warfare," warned a December 2016 article in the defense industry journal, Defense One. The article quoted two government insiders arguing that laws written to protect U.S. citizens from state spying were jeopardizing national security. According to Rand Waltzman, a former program manager at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, America's adversaries enjoyed a "significant advantage" as the result of "legal and organizational constraints that we are subject to and they are not." The point was echoed by Michael Lumpkin, who headed the State Department's Global Engagement Center (GEC), the agency Obama designated to run the U.S. counter-disinformation campaign. Lumpkin singled out the Privacy Act of 1974, a post-Watergate law protecting U.S. citizens from having their data collected by the government, as antiquated. "The 1974 act was created to make sure that we aren't collecting data on U.S. citizens. Well, ... by definition the World Wide Web is worldwide. There is no passport that goes with it. If it's a Tunisian citizen in the United States or a U.S. citizen in Tunisia, I don't have the ability to discern that ... If I had more ability to work with that [personally identifiable information] and had access ... I could do more targeting, more definitively, to make sure I could hit the right message to the right audience at the right time." The message from the U.S. defense establishment was clear: To win the information war--an existential conflict taking place in the borderless dimensions of cyberspace--the government needed to dispense with outdated legal distinctions between foreign terrorists and American citizens. Since 2016, the federal government has spent billions of dollars on turning the counter-disinformation complex into one of the most powerful forces in the modern world: a sprawling leviathan with tentacles reaching into both the public and private sector, which the government uses to direct a "whole of society" effort that aims to seize total control over the internet and achieve nothing less than the eradication of human error. Step one in the national mobilization to defeat disinfo fused the U.S. national security infrastructure with the social media platforms, where the war was being fought. The government's lead counter-disinformation agency, the GEC, declared that its mission entailed "seeking out and engaging the best talent within the technology sector." To that end, the government started deputizing tech executives as de facto wartime information commissars. At companies like Facebook, Twitter, Google, and Amazon, the upper management levels had always included veterans of the national security establishment. But with the new alliance between U.S. national security and social media, the former spooks and intelligence agency officials grew into a dominant bloc inside those companies; what had been a career ladder by which people stepped up from their government experience to reach private tech-sector jobs turned into an ouroboros that molded the two together. With the D.C.-Silicon Valley fusion, the federal bureaucracies could rely on informal social connections to push their agenda inside the tech companies. In the fall of 2017, the FBI opened its Foreign Influence Task Force for the express purpose of monitoring social media to flag accounts trying to "discredit U.S. individuals and institutions." The Department of Homeland Security took on a similar role. At around the same time, Hamilton 68 blew up. Publicly, Twitter's algorithms turned the Russian-influence-exposing "dashboard" into a major news story. Behind the scenes, Twitter executives quickly figured out that it was a scam. When Twitter reverse-engineered the secret list, it found, according to the journalist Matt Taibbi, that "instead of tracking how Russia influenced American attitudes, Hamilton 68 simply collected a handful of mostly real, mostly American accounts and described their organic conversations as Russian scheming." The discovery prompted Twitter's head of trust and safety, Yoel Roth, to suggest in an October 2017 email that the company take action to expose the hoax and "call this out on the bullshit it is." In the end, neither Roth nor anyone else said a word. Instead, they let a purveyor of industrial-grade bullshit--the old-fashioned term for disinformation--continue dumping its contents directly into the news stream. It was not enough for a few powerful agencies to combat disinformation. The strategy of national mobilization called for "not only the whole-of-government, but also whole-of-society" approach, according to a document released by the GEC in 2018. "To counter propaganda and disinformation," the agency stated, "will require leveraging expertise from across government, tech and marketing sectors, academia, and NGOs." This is how the government-created "war against disinformation" became the great moral crusade of its time. CIA officers at Langley came to share a cause with hip young journalists in Brooklyn, progressive nonprofits in D.C., George Soros-funded think tanks in Prague, racial equity consultants, private equity consultants, tech company staffers in Silicon Valley, Ivy League researchers, and failed British royals. Never Trump Republicans joined forces with the Democratic National Committee, which declared online disinformation "a whole-of-society problem that requires a whole-of-society response."
That's not the full article: That's just the preamble. He then offers 13 views on the new "totalitarian war on 'error,'" at least "error" as claimed by the Leviathan State, "with the aim that the composite of these partial views will provide a useful impression of disinformation's true shape and ultimate design." It's a major work:
Even trenchant critics of the phenomenon--including Taibbi and the Columbia Journalism Review's Jeff Gerth, who recently published a dissection of the press's role in promoting false Trump-Russia collusion claims--have focused on the media's failures, a framing largely shared by conservative publications, which treat disinformation as an issue of partisan censorship bias. But while there's no question that the media has utterly disgraced itself, it's also a convenient fall guy--by far the weakest player in the counter-disinformation complex. The American press, once the guardian of democracy, was hollowed out to the point that it could be worn like a hand puppet by the U.S. security agencies and party operatives. It would be nice to call what has taken place a tragedy, but an audience is meant to learn something from a tragedy. As a nation, America not only has learned nothing, it has been deliberately prevented from learning anything while being made to chase after shadows. This is not because Americans are stupid; it's because what has taken place is not a tragedy but something closer to a crime. Disinformation is both the name of the crime and the means of covering it up; a weapon that doubles as a disguise. The crime is the information war itself, which was launched under false pretenses and by its nature destroys the essential boundaries between the public and private and between the foreign and domestic, on which peace and democracy depend. By conflating the anti-establishment politics of domestic populists with acts of war by foreign enemies, it justified turning weapons of war against Americans citizens. It turned the public arenas where social and political life take place into surveillance traps and targets for mass psychological operations. The crime is the routine violation of Americans' rights by unelected officials who secretly control what individuals can think and say. What we are seeing now, in the revelations exposing the inner workings of the state-corporate censorship regime, is only the end of the beginning. The United States is still in the earliest stages of a mass mobilization that aims to harness every sector of society under a singular technocratic rule. The mobilization, which began as a response to the supposedly urgent menace of Russian interference, now evolves into a regime of total information control that has arrogated to itself the mission of eradicating abstract dangers such as error, injustice, and harm--a goal worthy only of leaders who believe themselves to be infallible, or comic-book supervillains. The first phase of the information war was marked by distinctively human displays of incompetence and brute-force intimidation. But the next stage, already underway, is being carried out through both scalable processes of artificial intelligence and algorithmic pre-censorship that are invisibly encoded into the infrastructure of the internet, where they can alter the perceptions of billions of people. Something monstrous is taking shape in America. Formally, it exhibits the synergy of state and corporate power in service of a tribal zeal that is the hallmark of fascism. Yet anyone who spends time in America and is not a brainwashed zealot can tell that it is not a fascist country. What is coming into being is a new form of government and social organization that is as different from mid-twentieth century liberal democracy as the early American republic was from the British monarchism that it grew out of and eventually supplanted. A state organized on the principle that it exists to protect the sovereign rights of individuals, is being replaced by a digital leviathan that wields power through opaque algorithms and the manipulation of digital swarms. It resembles the Chinese system of social credit and one-party state control, and yet that, too, misses the distinctively American and providential character of the control system. In the time we lose trying to name it, the thing itself may disappear back into the bureaucratic shadows, covering up any trace of it with automated deletions from the top-secret data centers of Amazon Web Services, "the trusted cloud for government." When the blackbird flew out of sight,
It marked the edge
Of one of many circles. In a technical or structural sense, the censorship regime's aim is not to censor or to oppress, but to rule. That's why the authorities can never be labeled as guilty of disinformation. Not when they lied about Hunter Biden's laptops, not when they claimed that the lab leak was a racist conspiracy, not when they said that vaccines stopped transmission of the novel coronavirus. Disinformation, now and for all time, is whatever they say it is. That is not a sign that the concept is being misused or corrupted; it is the precise functioning of a totalitarian system. If the underlying philosophy of the war against disinformation can be expressed in a single claim, it is this: You cannot be trusted with your own mind.

He said he knows people like watching Tik Tok but the RESTRICT Act has to pass because China is bad.
I guess it is probably best to go ahead and accept that the RESTRICT Act is as good as law. After Lindsay's appearance and sponsorship and the house members agreeing, the republicans are clearly in on it, too.

The idea is complete and total digital panopticon, I expect.
I struggle to imagine what a pain in the ass all of this stuff must have been in the "analog" era. And they managed to do a pretty good job of it. "Well it worked, didn't it"? could be the motto for the entire decade of the 1960s. Everything in popular culture was an op, gaslighting and destabilization on steroids. And a treasury draining conflict on the other side of the world called Viet Nam.
Today is something much different, it almost beggars belief. They have been planning this shit for a long time. It wasn't technically possible - though now it is, and they do not intend to squander this opportunity. Congress is either too stupid or corrupt to understand what is happening.

Only - and *only* - because McCarthy was targeting communists. Had he been targeting domestic enemies of the Left, the press wouldn't have uttered a single peep.
Just like now. Had the "Hamilton 68" crew or any like them been trying apply pseudo-governmental pressure on high tech companies to suppress leftwing activists and agitators on their platforms, it would have been the crime of the century.
Using "press response" as a barometer for *anything* at any time (or at least, post-broadcasting, when the absurd fiction of a "balanced press" came into being) is a very, very bad thing to do.

Bullshit. Long distance telephones existed in 1974. An American citizen speaking with a foreigner could be protected from illegal surveillance then, and he could be now. It isn't a perfect analogy, but so be it. And if you can't discern the difference between a citizen and a non-citizen, a domestic or a foreign operator, etc., then you have the obligation to *not* proceed in the name of defending the rights of citizens against government spying and other overreach.
Of course, that's counter to your totalitarian goals, so...

What the hell does that mean? I am a US citizen and I think the government is discredited. I say it often here. I am not a foreigner, and it is not foreign influence. It is absolutely wrongthink, but not a foreign influence operation.
If they seek to suppress anything that could discredit US persons or institutions but, by their own admission, they cannot discern who is a foreigner, then how is this *not* - on its own terms - a general censorship and speech suppression system that also hits citizens?

I posted at the end of the food thread, but I couldn't find the home ec cookbook on Amazon. I didn't search ebay, though, and there's a good chance it's there.
The name is
Favorite recipes of home economics teachers
I looked for a date but couldn't find one, but I'm guessing early 80s.
It's really great, though, with names and cities / states of the students that made the recipes. "breaded dandelion blossoms" and other surprises are in it. Very charming.

Again with this nonsense. No, and it was never so. The press as "guardian of democracy" or a complex that "speaks truth to power" and doesn't participate in government efforts at misbehavior was only true - insofar as it was ever true - when that government was not fully captured by the same ideological operators that ran the press.
As of Obama, that ceased to be the reality because the final government capture was underway. And the press dutifully fell into line as the newest, loudest, most vocal champions of that government. Under Trump, it was more of the same - just the *real* government that actually runs things.
The press has always supported anything that moved the ball down the field. If it ever looked like "defending democracy," it was coincidental.

M. Stanton Evans writes in "Blacklisted by History" that
"McCarthy's version of what he said at Wheeling, and other places, was that he did indeed have a "list" of people in the State Department who were 'either card-carrying Communists or certainly loyal to the Communist Party,' but that the number of these was 57, not 205. He said the larger figure, which he acknowledged using from time to time, wasn't a list but a statistic--derived from the letter that Secretary of State James Byrnes had written in 1946 to Rep Adolph Sabath*. From these differing versions of the speech there grew up an enormous wrangle featured in every book about McCarthy and most political histories of the era." Evans goes on to detail the contemporary accounts of the issue and evaluate the evidence of what McCarthy actually said.
* Security screeners made "adverse findings" on 284 State Department employees, 79 were "removed" which left 205 still working.

Yup. This is one of the reasons why you don't make your soldiers into policemen. They have different goals. Soldiers need an enemy, and that enemy becomes the people.
The government - the real government, the permanent one that is the same as the Uniparty - has long viewed the public as the enemy. They behave accordingly.

Shawn Fleetwood and Mollie Hemingway: Voter Suppression Is Very Real. It's Just That It's the Democrats Are Making Sure Republican Strongholds Don't Have Enough Ballots for All the Republican Voters.
I don't see Jake Tapper of Stacy Abrams talking much about this.
Voter Suppression Is Real And It's Not What You Were Told Pennsylvania residents have filed a lawsuit against Luzerne County after being denied their constitutional right to vote in the 2022 midterms.Ergo, you shouldn't run out of ballots, because you're supposed to anticipate 100% of voters voting.
Shawn Fleetwood and Mollie Hemingway On the morning of Election Day last November, William French went to his local polling place in Freeland, Pennsylvania, to cast his vote. But the qualified and registered voter wasn't allowed to. The disabled U.S. Army veteran was told that the precinct had run out of paper for ballots and he had to come back later in the afternoon. So that's what he did, returning at 3:30 p.m. But the precinct still didn't have ballots. Election workers told him to return yet again. But by nightfall, it was too difficult. French has endured 17 surgeries on his destroyed leg and uses a cane to walk. But the sidewalks are a mess, and he was worried about the risk of falling and further injury. That same morning, Melynda Reese and her husband went to their polling location in Shickshinny, Pennsylvania. But only Reese's husband was allowed to vote, and for the same reason: The precinct had run out of paper. They came back at 4:00 p.m. and were told there would be a lengthy wait. Reese is a corrections officer and her husband's primary caregiver. He had recently suffered two cardiac arrests and a stroke. He required regular medication and attention and couldn't be left alone. Long waits were also too much to bear. The couple returned at 6:30 p.m., and saw a line that stretched so long that they knew they couldn't wait. Around 9:15 p.m., an election official called Reese and told her that ballots were finally available and she could vote. But her husband had just taken his sleeping pills and she couldn't leave him unattended. French and Reese are just two of the thousands of voters affected by poor election administration in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. The two just sued Luzerne County, its Board of Elections and Registration, and its Bureau of Elections in federal court for violations of their constitutional right to vote. "Voters in Luzerne County through no fault of their own, were disenfranchised and denied the fundamental right to vote. William French and Melynda Reese are two of those voters. They bring suit to vindicate the denial of their sacred right to vote, to make sure voters are not disenfranchised in the future, and to bring integrity back to elections in Luzerne County," said Wally Zimolong, lawyer for French and Reese.
Luzerne County was coal country and once a Democrat stronghold, before Donald Trump ran for president in 2016, when the county voted Republican. The county's election administration in 2022 was, according to the lawsuit, a "catastrophic failure." More than 40 precincts had an insufficient number of ballots, many running out early in the morning on Election Day. The county implausibly blamed high voter interest, but Pennsylvania law requires counties to have enough ballots for every registered voter.
You may, if you are so inclined, consider reading the whole thing. I agree, "Read the Whole Thing" is bossy.
Election workers were sent scrambling to office supply stores for paper, and were left untrained for the disastrous day. A court had to intervene to allow a few more hours of voting. Judge Lesa Gelb wrote in her order, "Voters in Luzerne County through no fault of their own, were disenfranchised and denied the fundamental right to vote." Left-wing groups pressured the county election board to certify the election results, even though the first vote to certify failed to pass. The county election board bowed to the pressure.

How hard is it for the state party or candidate's organization to make sure ahead of time that there are enough ballots, at least in the major voting areas where the Dumocraps can be expected to cheat?
Did nobody from Lake's campaign think to check the voting stations in Maricopa to ensure they had the correct ballots and enough of them? Nah, they just relied on their political opponents -- who everyone knows cheat like motherfuckers -- to do it.
Wtf?? Are we gonna do NOTHING to try to counter the Dums' blatant cheating? I'm sick and fucking tired of the GOP willingly sticking its ass in the air to be butt-fucked by the Dums.

The way they were claiming they didn't disenfranchise voters was that they had more than enough ballots to cover all registered voters in the county, plus some. But the catch was they'd send 50,000 ballots to a precinct that was historically Democrat, even if they only had 2,000 voters, but then send 1,000 to a Republican area they knew had 10,000 voters. That way any case could be thrown out, since they technically followed the law.

What's awesome about this is that it lets them win twice.
If you don't have enough ballots, you disenfranchise people. If you do have enough ballots, then surely turnout won't be 100% and so then you have some free ballots to fill out however the machinery would like to see them filled out. Then those Bonus Ballots can be stuffed into the box.
Win/win. Corruption's a bitch.

Yea, but the issue wasn't the machines themselves. It's that the voting stations didn't have enough proper-sized ballots. That should have been easy to check the day before. So either nobody checked, or they did and fucked it up. Either way this was an unforced error. Lake would have won on election day if not for this.

What you don't do, is what Kari Lake did. When shit starts going sideways, you don't predict victory once a certain group of early votes not yet counted go your way.
You send staffers into these fucked up polling places, in real time, to document not being able to vote. You do it all across the state. And you get that shit out before the final results are tallied. You create a pile of shit too big to be ignored.
Because once that score goes up ... just like in sportsball ... that result will not be changed.

Bingo. That was the big takeaway from the Kari Lake lawsuit, IMHO: Maricopa county was a shitshow of mismanagement and incompetence. My assumption is that it's that way everywhere, which is why the GOP has no interest in cracking down on this stuff: their side would be just as guilty as the dems. Lots of questions would be raised about why certain expensive systems were purchased, where all the money went that was set aside for training officials and volunteers, etc.

Some may get addressed at some state levels. AZ is possibly the best bet for positive action, and I'd put that at something like 25% of happening.
If it happens, though, it's not enough for the presidential election. That's lost.
Still, local and state voting is important. Just because the headline is a lost cause doesn't mean that you sit out and cede your state to leftists.

Oh hey, and guess what, on election day, that thing they did, putting ballots in "door 3" or whatever they called it? Where supposedly ballots that couldn't be validated right away went? They ended up with tens of thousands of ballots in there, when numbers from same day totals showed many thousands less same-day voters at those places. And you know what? Where they expect Lake to have comfortably outpolled Abortion Barbie, they ended up barely ahead, or even behind in some cases.

There are so many ballots coming in from so many varied and disparate sources, all with no audit trail or any way to possibly validate or verify them that, pretty much no election going forward can be said to be legitimate.

You're slow, Burt. So I'll explain it again.
If somebody says they're going to steal from you, for say - six months. Then yes, they're wrong for doing it. You're also a fool for not doing the necessary precautions. They only gave you six months warning, after all.
So you're neighbors might just look at you and say "dumb ass" rather than "so sorry".

For starters - don't play along. She gave cover by running to every camera she could find and pinning her hopes on those uncounted early ballots she was sure would break her way.
If its a cheat election, call it that from the beginning.
And there's nothing I'm sure more of that "my argument is smart" than when somebody starts with "that argument is stupid". If its stupid, the room can figure that out after your argument. You shouldn't have to prompt them.

It was suddenly decided yesterday to release the supposed motive of the Las Vegas shooter and that was supposedly his motive. He suddenly snapped over losing $10,000 to the casino and decided to shoot up a concert that was in no way associated with the casino using the arsenal he just happened to have on hand at that moment.

Then lock the doors and start counting, only to emerge when all the ballots are counted. NO preliminary counts should be allowed out of the counting hall, only the final counts.

TimesLeader dot com: Luzerne County mail ballot tallying to continue today, May 18, 2020
"Due to a staffing shortage, Luzerne County did not complete tallying of most mail ballots on Election Day Tuesday, leaving the lion’s share — 11,000 — to address today, officials said.
...County Controller Walter Griffith said ... “The administration knew the amount of mail ballots days ago and made no provisions to address staffing concerns. This is unacceptable,” Griffith said. "Crocamo said the main priority is processing the ballots accurately — not speed. She also said she was not involved in the election board’s unilateral decision to stop the mail ballot processing around 6 p.m. While it is unlikely all 11,000 remaining ballots would have been counted that evening, continued processing would have reduced the number of ballots outstanding, she said. Crocamo also added that the board was aware of the number of workers assigned and did not raise any concerns to her."
Very convenient.

Down With The Restrict Act, a Patriot Act for Americans' Speech
I watched about ten minutes of the Congressional hearings on TikTok. I was digusted. Congressmen were demanding that TikTok manipulate the algorithm to reduce "harmful" content served to minors -- which is exactly what social media companies have done for five years to shadowban, restrict, and choke out all conservative content, which they claim constitutes "harm."
And Congressmen were pushing that TikTok do more of what we've been trying to get social media companies to do less of. And when I say "Congressmen," I mean Republican Congressmen. I would not have been disgusted by Democrats pushing for this; it's all they ever push for. But Republicans? Republicans, again knowing nothing, again learning nothing, again falling for every trap the Democrats lay for them? The Democrats laid a trap to see if they could get Republicans to endorse the very methods by which Democrats and social media monopolies exclude conservatives from the public square, and Republicans walked right into it. They were angry that TikTok isn't manipulating its algorithm enough to choke down the transmission of "harmful" content. The Democrats wanted to see if Republicans would endorse and support the Democrats' predicate for unending censorship and thought-policing, and boy, did Republicans surprise them by being even more pro-censorship than the Democrats. All the Democrats had to do is introduce one of their favorite tropes -- "It's for The Children (TM)" -- and every Republican was crab-crawling over each other to endorse the social media monopolies' pretext for censoring conservatives. They weren't careful about it at all. They didn't attempt to limit the principle they were advocating for. They didn't say "this will only apply to children under age 17." No, they were, once again, just foaming at the mouth with eagerness to bless by legislation all the censorship that all of the tech monopolies have been engaged in. TikTok should be banned. Period. And children 17 or under should be banned from social media. Period. And they should have to prove that by making a micro-transaction of, say, $1 with a credit card establishing that they are of age. Instead of focusing on that, Republicans decided to argue that social media monopolies just aren't censoring enough people and manipulating the algorithms to avoid "harm." Rand Paul is blocking the Resist Act from going forward. But not on grounds that the US would be endorsing algorithmic manipulation. He's claiming that the communist Chinese Party's spy app shouldn't be banned, period, and insists it's not just because a top donor is connected to TikTok's parent corporation ByteDance.Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., has come out against a ban on TikTok, breaking from his GOP colleagues on a measure that would prohibit the use of the often-criticized social media app. Lawmakers cited national security concerns raised by TikTok, which is owned by the Chinese company ByteDance, after reports emerged that the company has gathered user data and spied on some journalists. In an opinion piece published Wednesday in the Courier Journal of Louisville, Kentucky, Paul argued that banning TikTok would mimic censorship by the Chinese government.Well, in one way, that's true: China itself refuses to allow TikTok in their own country. They have a version of TiKTok which only runs videos about science lessons and studying hacks and pro-education stuff like that. Oh, and the videos also foster respect for kids' elders. But the TikTok we see in the US? No way, that's not allowed. China's smarter than to allow its own children to be infected with this poison. This poison is for White Devils' Children only.
It's not about teenagers dancing. Has Paul missed out the part where TikTok is spreading every social contagion mental illness, from fake tics, to fake Tourettes, to fake multiple personality disorders, to fake transgenderism among children?
He cast the question of whether to ban the app as a free speech issue and said he would defend it even against members of his party. Paul has maintained that his opposition is not due to the ties of one of his top donor's to the company. "I hope saner minds will reflect on which is more dangerous: videos of teenagers dancing or the precedent of the U.S. government banning speech," Paul wrote. "For me, it's an easy answer, I will defend the Bill of Rights against all comers, even, if need be, from members of my own party."
Pretty sure the Constitution allows us to restrict what children can view. Or does he also support filling the schools with gay pornography? I'm skeptical of Paul's position. It seems to me that the US has every right to block a foreign app, controlled by a hostile power, from the US. There is a point at which "libertarians" simply become One Worlders, denying that that there is any difference between those within the country and those without it, and this is it. But the "Restrict Act" isn't just about banning TikTok -- it's about empowering the government to censor social media and punish Americans. Which is exactly the sense I got from the hearings.
He added: "If you don't like TikTok or Facebook or YouTube, don't use them. But don't think any interpretation of the Constitution gives you the right to ban them." Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., a vocal critic of TikTok, introduced legislation Wednesday to ban it in the U.S., which he tried to pass by unanimous consent. Paul objected.

Making it through statute that individuals own their data and that 3rd parties, like social media companies, must pay the individuals for the use, sale, or analysis of that data, say, $15 per month or $30 per sale to another third party, would be something of a hamper on social media's reach.

I agree, and the RESTRICT act - though it hadn't happened yet - is exactly why I didn't call for it to be done when I made this the topic of a rant a little while back.
The premise is simple: Social Media is addictive and dangerous and so, like other addictive and dangerous things, it should be restricted to adults.
Sadly, the outcome of such a call is also simple: let kids stay and extend government power over speech in a great con job that will give us more of the worst and none of the useful.
So here we are. The RESTRICT act, proving the point again.

Sort of. TikTok is Chinese. The Chinese version of TikTok - Douyin - is also owned by ByteDance and China was its first major market.
Douyin was declared to be very harmful by the CCP. In its original form, Douyin was a *lot* like the export version of TikTok. It was full of kids, a lot of sexualized "dance videos," a lot of fringe rants, a lot of venal banality, etc. It happened there first, and the CCP deemed it a serious risk to the social fabric. They compelled ByteDance to change Douyin fairly significantly - including things like enforced timeouts (you can't use it much) and loads of content restrictions and other censorship.
But only for the domestic market. No restrictions on what ByteDance was allowed to export. If anything, the CCP probably *encouraged* ByteDance to export Original Douyin as TikTok to hurt foreign societies.

as for banning tiktok? i'm not sure how you restrict it that isn't going to get sidestepped. and I do have an issue codifying it via law.
as someone else said, maybe a law to specifically indicate that user data is theirs, and every transfer is a 10 dollar payment to the individual, cash only could slow it down.
but you'll end up with some kind of a "waiver" that people will sign in the terms and conditions....

He might have, or he fears social media contagion - as in, a contagion within social media companies.
The rational and reasonable approach to the problem, in my opinion, is to forbid the use of the service by minors. And not just TikTok, but all social media. That will have serious problems and it might result in the failure of social media as a whole, because they will suddenly have to verify everyone. This isn't technically difficult, but it would destroy anonymity on the platforms and thus make them a hell of a lot less popular.

More important bills will usually go through the Dear Colleague process, but get more systematic attention and be an actual decision following the whole internal review process, in the end.
Not knowing he was a co-sponsor of a bill is really not that big of a deal for Graham (or anybody). Graham's got much more serious pathologies when it comes to public policy, and those are a big deal.

Abigail Marone @abigailmarone Replying to @thevivafrei and @HawleyMO
You're confusing Senator Hawley's bill - The No TikTok on US Devices Act - with The Restrict Act. They're 2 totally different bills.
Senator Hawley's legislation is a narrow ban of the TikTok app and doesn't give the government all that new power that the Restrict Act would.
Learn more about Senator Hawley's bill here
Abigail Marone @abigailmarone · Mar 29
Senator Hawley's legislation to ban TikTok is NOT the same thing as the Restrict Act. His bill:
- Narrowly prohibits the Chinese-based TikTok app from being downloaded on U.S. devices
-Bans commercial activity with TikTok’s parent
company, ByteDance.

It's no solution either, but recognizing that families and parents are the problem - in that they no longer seem to represent any kind of bulwark against poison, or at least far too many don't - is kinda central.
Of course there are several wheels turning here. The collapse of education (in large part) is in a chicken-and-egg situation with social media and other current afflictions. In any case they have a baleful synergy and we see the results.

I cannot understand why the hell any parent lets their kid have a smart phone. Period. Give them a dorky flip phone, something that they can ONLY text and call with if you feel you absolutely must let them have one (you don't).
Wait, what's that you say? There are no pay phones, they have to have one for an emergency? EVERYBODY HAS A PHONE. They're 9000 times more accessible than the few scattered pay phones that were in urban areas.
In any case, even if you let them have internet access and a phone, they should only be used under supervision, in a limited time period, for specific purposes. No "Billy needs the internet in his bedroom" or "Sally has to have a phone she can use all the time or she'll be socially outcast!" crap.

The last two are meh. The specifics of the first 3 are the key. And my question was seeking specific examples of how they were used in an abusive manner. Of course if they were abuses, then it muddies the whole thing, since abuses of existing laws are illegal and are not made possible by those laws, by definition.
FISA long long predated 9/11, which few seem to know, and the abuses of that process as part of the Mega-Scandal/rolling coup against Trump are just that - abuses of those powers. Of course having literally ZERO consequences for all of the abuses and crimes committed in the Mega-Scandal (a few resignations - to the welcoming arms of the "press" and the vast system of degraded corrupt racist-authoritarian organizations - is equivalent to zero consequences) renders even the existence of laws (controversial or not) sort of moot.

How could a TikTok ban in the US be enforced? By forcing internet and cell service suppliers to scan for it on all devices using the service? Then somehow delete it, or stop service and tell the FBI who is illegally running TikTok? No thanks. I want to ban TikTok - without creating another legal portal for every smart phone user to be spied on by service suppliers and harassed by the FBI. Can this be done?

Yeah that has been pointed out several times here in the past. Social Conservatives (raises hand) are often the most guilty of this. We'll talk about small government but what is really meant by many is "all the power is in the wrong hands".
Its not 100% consistent, some have their integrity of their position and don't mean that, but too many do. And our first response to problems should NEVER be "if only the government had more power" or "we need more laws"

The only way to implement and enforce a ban on Tik Tok would involve exactly what you have described. A ban on Tik Tok access, by it's very nature, would be a possible ban on anything/everything else on the web. We would be at the mercy of what ever bureaucrat is in charge.

In any case, even if you let them have internet access and a phone, they should only be used under supervision, in a limited time period, for specific purposes. No "Billy needs the internet in his bedroom" or "Sally has to have a phone she can use all the time or she'll be socially outcast!" crap.

Rand Paul: Anthony Fauci Lied About Retiring. He's Still Working for the Government, For Protection Against an Indictment.
Claiming to be retired also means he can legally fight congressional subpoenas. If he admits he's a government employee, he has to testify -- he has no choice.
But a private citizen can fight a subpeona.Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul has taken another swipe at his arch nemesis, Anthony Fauci, claiming that the former head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, is not really retired and is still working for the government. The senator appeared on Fox News on Wednesday and spoke to host Sean Hannity about what he says he found. "There is a massive coverup going on and the lead in all of the coverup has been Fauci," the senator said. "We now have information that he is still working for the government even though he says he is retired. It is my belief that he is worried about being indicted and so he continues to work so he will get legal protection under the federal government."Video at the link. Rand Paul also says Fauci weaponized the government to destroy his critics, using taxpayer monies as a bribery slush-fund.
"This guy weaponized the NIAD. He weaponized it to get his supporters," the senator said. "At first, they said, 'My goodness. It came from a lab.' And then, all of a sudden, they changed their mind. They got more money. They got more grants." "He used that grant-making authority -- who gets it -- and he weaponized government to get what he wanted," he said, "and that was the cover-up."Even the New York Times now admits that Anthony Fauci is a corrupt liar, in an opinion piece written by a New York Times op-ed contributor. Even the literally-Fauci-worshipping NYT is starting to doubt their midget god. She begins by recalling an interview of Anthony Fauci in 2021 by... Newt Gingrich. Gingrich praised Fauci for being such a wise and learned man. But then he asked about this conspiracy theory being spread by conservatives -- or "urban legend," as Gingrich called it -- that covid-19 had been created in the Wuhan Respiratory Virus Laboratory, specifically in their bat-virus-research lab.
Why? It f&cking shut the world down, did you not catch that? If you did have a working vaccine in advance, you could release such a weapon while your own population remained infection-free. They always have to signal their adherence to the True Progressive Faith, even when they're confessing that their Progressive Popes are corrupt liars.
"There's a sort of urban legend," Mr. Gingrich prodded Dr. Fauci, "that there's a biological warfare center in Wuhan and that the coronavirus escaped from that." "I've heard these conspiracy theories," Dr. Fauci replied. "And like all conspiracy theories, Newt, they're just conspiracy theories." He added that while he could not say that scenario was impossible, "the things you're hearing are still in the realm of conspiracy theories without any scientific basis." Dr. Daszak agreed that "all the evidence says" the virus crossed from animal to human either in a Wuhan market or in rural China, probably after originating in wild bats. The two men could have told Mr. Gingrich a lot more. They could have said that laboratories in Wuhan had indeed been studying bat viruses, including coronaviruses. Live bats were kept in the laboratories, and scientists occasionally carried out controversial forms of research in which viral strains are manipulated in ways that can make them more dangerous to humans. Both men worked for organizations that had a hand in moving U.S. taxpayer funds to the scientists in Wuhan -- Dr. Daszak had been involved with Wuhan bat research for years; Dr. Fauci's emails show his staff had recently reminded him of N.I.H. funding for the coronavirus work Dr. Daszak's organization supported. They could have acknowledged that while they believed the virus had reached humans as a zoonotic spillover from animals, accidental leaks are a known lab hazard and couldn't yet be ruled out (even if the notion of using coronaviruses as a biological weapon was laughably improbable).
Ah, "dissembled." The cowardly courtier's way of saying "My dear sweet glorious prince appears to have inadvertently lied, perhaps due to be overserved by a commoner."
Instead they dissembled.
The near-certainty with which Dr. Fauci spoke publicly of zoonotic crossover is somewhat incongruous with his private communications from that time. He knew there was real debate -- he was in the thick of it. In public, he leaned hard into animal crossover; behind the scenes, he wrote that "I do not know how this evolved" but warned that he was concerned about "distortions on social media" of Covid's origins. The pandemic grievously eroded public faith in health authorities as well as news media, a sort of national unmooring often attributed to former President Donald Trump and others on the right who touted questionable treatments and pushed back against vaccine mandates, masks and closures. But the full story of Covid information manipulation is much broader... And so we are left to wonder how a straightforward hypothesis got labeled first as a conspiracy and later as a reflection of racism. Retracing coverage and public comments, I found a cautionary tale: Those who seek to suppress disinformation may be destined, themselves, to sow it.Fauci here "forgets" that many diseases have escaped from research labs. Including the H1N1 swine flu putbreak of 1977.
*** A familiar Chinese tendency to stonewall and evade foreign inquiries was on full display in Beijing and Wuhan as the world demanded answers about Covid's origin. A similar impulse to shut down discussion, however, is suggested by the early public remarks of Drs. Fauci and Daszak, who found themselves thrust into fame overnight as journalists eagerly sought their insights. By the time Dr. Fauci recorded the Gingrich podcast, he was involved in a private debate among some of the world's most renowned biologists and virologists over how the virus had come to infect humans. Dr. Fauci recently acknowledged that half the participants in a now-notorious conference call to discuss Covid's origin "felt it might be from a lab" -- but at the time he gave little public hint of the seriousness of this debate. I asked Dr. Fauci in a telephone interview about the largely one-sided nature of his public remarks. He'd always, at least, acknowledged the possibility of a lab leak, he said, but he couldn't pretend to think both theories were equally probable. His entire career, he reminded me, centered for years on a virus -- H.I.V. -- that jumped into humanity from a chimpanzee. He then listed all the other outbreaks that he'd seen traced to animal origin: swine flu, MERS, even SARS-CoV-1. "I can't dissociate that in my mind, I can't say, just, 'I don't know,' the way you can," he said. "I can't, as a scientist, ignore the historical perspective that I've been deeply involved with my entire career."
The danger of a manmade pandemic sparked by a laboratory escape is not hypothetical: One occurred in 1977, and it occurred because of concern that a natural pandemic was imminent. Many other laboratory escapes of high-consequence pathogens have occurred, resulting in transmission beyond laboratory personnel. Ironically, these laboratories were working with pathogens to prevent the very outbreaks they ultimately caused. For that reason, the tragic consequences have been called "self-fulfilling prophecies." Modern genetic analysis allows pathogens to be precisely identified, and because all circulating pathogens show genetic changes over time, the year that a particular example of a pathogen emerged can generally be determined, given a sufficient database of samples. If a pathogen appears in nature after not circulating for years or decades, it may be assumed to have escaped from a laboratory where it had been stored inert for many years, accumulating no genetic changes--that is, its natural evolution had been frozen.Is that not scary enough? How about the repeated release of deadly smallpox from British labs?
The swine flu scare of 1976 and the H1N1 human influenza pandemic of 1977.
Human H1N1 influenza virus appeared with the 1918 global pandemic and persisted, slowly accumulating small genetic changes, until 1957, when it appeared to go extinct after the H2N2 pandemic virus appeared. In 1976, H1N1 swine influenza virus struck Fort Dix, N.J., causing 13 hospitalizations and one death. The specter of a reprise of the deadly 1918 pandemic triggered an unprecedented effort to immunize all Americans. No swine H1N1 pandemic materialized, however, and complications of immunization truncated the program after 48 million immunizations, which eventually caused 25 deaths. Human H1N1 virus reappeared in 1977, in the Soviet Union and China. Virologists, using serologic and early genetic tests, soon began to suggest the cause of the reappearance was a laboratory escape of a 1949-50 virus, and as genomic techniques advanced, it became clear that this was true. By 2010, researchers published it as fact: "The most famous case of a released laboratory strain is the re-emergent H1N1 influenza-A virus which was first observed in China in May of 1977 and in Russia shortly thereafter." The virus may have escaped from a lab attempting to prepare an attenuated H1N1 vaccine in response to the U.S. swine flu pandemic alert. The 1977 pandemic spread rapidly worldwide but was limited to those under 20 years of age: Older persons were immune from exposures before 1957. Its attack rate was high (20 to 70 percent) in schools and military camps, but mercifully it caused mild disease, and fatalities were few.
Smallpox releases in Great Britain. Eradication of natural smallpox transmission made the prospect of reintroduction of the virus intolerable. This risk was clearly demonstrated in the United Kingdom. From 1963-78 the U.K. saw only four cases of smallpox (with no deaths) occurred that were imported by travelers from areas where smallpox was endemic. During this same period at least 80 cases and three deaths resulted from three separate escapes from two different accredited smallpox laboratories.Fauci is claiming he didn't lie when he ruled out a lab outbreak. He will confess only to a Modified Limited Hang-Out: Maybe he had a congnitive bias in favor of natural zoonotic evolution, but that's only because he's such an experienced virus-fighter that he remembers all the cases of "natural spillover." But he has also been the head of the NIAID during the period when scientists confirmed that the swine flu of 1977 was due to a lab outbreak. As well as all the other outbreaks. So no, his Modified Limited Hang-Out that he didn't lie but only maybe had a cognitive bias holds no water: yes, there are, of course, natural hops of viruses from animals and birds to humans. But there are also ample instances of labs leaking out the very viruses they were supposed to be protecting us against. Did Fauci just completely forget about all those cases? Apparently that's his story and he'll be sticking to it in later perjury trials.
"He's not sure he ever got around to reading the paper." Notice how noncommittal he is about this lie. He wants to chalk it up to a lapse in memory in case proof emerges that he gave it a final edit. He's doing a lot of perjury-trial preparation here.
Emails released in a congressional inquiry indicate that Dr. Fauci was among the senior scientists who encouraged his colleagues to write a paper asserting that the new coronavirus had a natural origin. "The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2," published by Nature Medicine in March 2020, concluded "we do not believe that any type of laboratory-based scenario is possible." "Our main work over the last couple weeks has been focused on trying to disprove any type of lab theory," one of the authors, a researcher named Kristian Andersen, wrote in an email the day before the podcast dropped. Then, in April 2020, Dr. Fauci pointed White House reporters to the publication, presenting it as compelling evidence of zoonotic crossover -- without revealing that he had been involved with its creation and had even, according to the emails, given it his approval. (Dr. Fauci told me that he's not sure he ever got around to reading the paper.)
The MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace called it "one of Trumpworld's most favorite conspiracy theories." Twitter added warning labels to posts that argued for lab leak; Facebook banned such posts altogether for several months in 2021 before reversing the decision. NPR called it a "baseless conspiracy theory" in a tweet, and the foreign affairs expert Fareed Zakaria wrote (and repeated on CNN): "The far right has now found its own virus conspiracy theory." And not just a loopy, harmless conspiracy theory, either, but a toxic idea often blamed for rising hate crimes against Asian Americans. Last year, even the White House press secretary at the time, Jen Psaki, attributed attacks on Asian Americans to "hate-filled rhetoric and language around the origins of the pandemic."This is a good point coming up, which many of you have pointed out: Fauci both claimed that the lab leak theory was racist... while claiming the virus really emerged due to Chinese people's disgusting practices in dirty "wet markets:"
But to say that Chinese scientists made this bat virus in a laboratory dedicated to creating new variations of bat viruses, using money from Peter Daszak and Antony Fauci, would be "racist."
But was that really about the lab? As I recall, people harped about bats, made cruel comments about Chinese food and stigmatized Chinese markets like this:
"The wet markets that have exotic animals in them -- you're not talking about a big chicken farm. You're not talking about raising pigs. You're talking about getting exotic animals from the wild ... the fact is, the customs and the traditions and the things people have done for centuries are so ingrained in the population that the Chinese authorities and the Chinese people have found it very difficult to make those kinds of changes." That's Dr. Fauci in conversation with Mr. Gingrich, dwelling on the "ingrained" tendency of people in China to create disease-breeding environments.
She notes that even when it became clear that the lab leak theory was a very viable theory which had been prematurely dismissed by people like Daszak and Fauci due to their own involvement in the Wuhan Bat Virus lab, her media friends on the left found ways to continue insinuating it was all a Trumpist Conspiracy Theory:
As for Dr. Daszak, he'd soon pop up in China as a member of the World Health Organization team dispatched to investigate the origins of the virus. He was hardly a disinterested observer: Dr. Daszak had been collaborating for more than a decade with Chinese virologists studying bat coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and directed National Institutes of Health money toward the research through his nonprofit, EcoHealth Alliance. That initial W.H.O. investigation was famously stymied by Chinese intransigence, but the panel nevertheless ruled out the possibility of lab origin -- only for the organization's director general to admit several months later that this decision had been premature. Fresh off the W.H.O. investigation, Dr. Daszak made the rounds of U.S. media to disparage lab leak as a conspiracy theory -- frequently without disclosing his own professional stake in the laboratory. In perhaps the most mind-bending of these appearances, Dr. Daszak, was quoted on NPR's "All Things Considered," vouching for the independence of the W.H.O. investigation. "If there was political interference with what we're trying to say," Dr. Daszak assured the listeners, " ... we would push back." *** From the beginning, it struck me -- and many others -- as outstandingly odd that the virus had erupted in a city where Chinese scientists ran experiments on bat viruses. It seemed even stranger when it emerged that one of the labs, the Wuhan branch of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, was next to the market still believed to be the epicenter of the outbreak. Sure, it could be a coincidence. But what a coincidence!
Even when news fell in its favor -- a World Health Organization report that left open the possibility of a lab leak, for example -- the developments tended to be described gingerly and layered with caveats. CNN, for example, qualified the W.H.O. news by adding, "experts have roundly condemned the theory of a laboratory origin" and "there's no proof of such origins or of a leak." In fact, there is no conclusive proof to rule out either theory. Mentions of lab leak were frequently followed by warnings that "many" or "most" researchers didn't think it had happened, but I never found any basis for this sweeping assertion: Did somebody poll all the scientists? Dr. Fauci has, in recent weeks, seemed to conflate the two theories or muddy the distinction between them. "A lab leak could be that someone was out in the wild, maybe looking for different types of viruses in bats, got infected, went into a lab and was being studied in the lab and then came out of the lab," Dr. Fauci told Jim Acosta this month on CNN. "But if that's the definition of a lab leak, Jim, then that still is a natural occurrence."That's my favorite: Even if it leaked from a lab, it's still a natural outbreak. I mean, obviously he's a Real Scientist who has an open mind and just goes where the evidence takes him, right? He's definitely not a zealot who will twist the facts violently to support the One Truth he knows in his heart must be right.

Fauci knew there was no vaccine that had shown any favorable results in animal testing on corona type viruses. In fact, he knew the results were just the opposite - a little something called VAED, or vaccine associated enhanced disease.
That little video of him that appeared recently where a young AA male berates him? Inside job photographer/chronicler. Of course Fauci is staying on the fed payroll for the insurance protection. To go naked now when the truth is slowly playing could take all his ill-gotten gains from him. Every penny.

Except they didn't. The emails make this pretty clear when you tug on the threads those initial warnings are referring to.
The man-made nature of this was provable by anyone who knew where to look by the end of December 2019. Fauci and Daszak knew where to look because it was their project, and their efforts at suppression are well documented; everyone else got sufficient clues in spring 2020, and the dots were publicly connected going all the way back to the DARPA proposal by spring 2021 at the latest.
It took two years and Musk buying Twitter to fully pry the lid off of what were openly available facts for anyone not stuck in the MSM/big tech censorship bubble.

I very much doubt that. This is to wean the public off of Fauci. He has served his purpose and has crossed over from asset to liability. It's time to do away with the liability.
He did great work for them and will never see the inside of the court room. But the establishment would prefer him to be gone now, and they are taking him out. Gently. He is persona non grata now because his usefulness is in the past, but they won't go after him.
They'll just firmly instruct him to ride off into the sunset. He'll be given a state funeral when he finally dies, and they'll build a monument to him in Washington and guarantee sinecures for his children.

Daszak aside, "disinterested" cannot be used in combination with "Red China" and "The World Health Organization."
China is a big force. Not as big as a lot of people give it credit for, but there are certain major institutions that Red China controls completely. The WHO is one of those institutions. It is wholly owned by the CCP, and has been for quite some time.

Fuck the vaccines; Fauci knew that several treatments were identified as cures 1-2 years prior to the outbreak. Mostly the same ones the feds suppressed.
We know he knew this because the original DARPA grant application called them out as a risk mitigation vs. gain-of-function concerns. After rejection from DARPA they turned to funding from Fauci, which was made (barely) possible by some last minute EO's from Obama on his way out of office.

Just because *this* Corona virus was not Bio Weapon material, it would only have to be a bit more lethal to be a great bio weapon. Someone needs a little more conspiracy belief in their life for their own safety.
That anyone would manufacture a highly contagious disease that had a 2 week incubation, often lethal, and when not lethal often debilitating, and could potentially be inoculated against. And your saying weaponization never crossed the mind of any involved party? That's dangerously to gravely naive.

I strongly suspect that's the real point of the exercise, and how they'll attempt to massage this to deflect from the real problem.
"A natural virus under research escaped from the lab" is very bad indeed - but nowhere near as bad as "a synthesized virus that we helped create in contravention of the law escaped from the lab."
One is a natural basis, albeit with a synthetic originator. The other is something that never existed in nature, never should have existed, was created deliberately, its creation was illegal, then they lost control of it.
"Whoops! Nature! Whaddya gonna do?!" is a much better explanation. Cede the "lab leak" point and then contain it to that while icing out gain-of-function as a possible attribute of the incident.

I think contextually, you have to remember Fauci was seen as one of the foremost experts at the time. That makes all of this even more insidious. Rather than yielding to the proven scientific process, permitting dissent, cataloguing and testing different ideas or theories he sought to suppress it. This should have been the first clue for anyone that something was amiss here. His sine qua non because trying to crush people personally, silence them, cut them out of research grants, call them pejoratives or attack peoples credibility. Notice none of that has anything to do with science or the truth. It's obfuscation, diversion and authoritarian. The minute anyone uses all or part of that they are trying to hide the truth. Remember it's always the one who doesn't want visibility or exploration towards achieving the truth who is the guilty party.

The day before Thanksgiving (2022), Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, along with Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry, deposed Anthony Fauci (head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases [NIAID]) at the National Institutes for Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland.
While the deposition uncovered no smoking guns, the sheer volume of things Fauci “couldn’t recall” or “couldn’t remember,” along with his obvious attempts at providing misleading and deceptive responses, collectively damned his testimony.
No reasonable observer could find his testimony to be credible. Simply put: he lied even when the truth would have made a better story.

Most of the categories now seem to deal with art, literature, pop culture, politics... all "humanities" shit. Very little in the way of physics, chemistry, etc.
So finally she says the category is Math and I think to myself oh this should be good, finally they're asking a question that isn't Marxist Critical Bullshit.
The question was - I shit you not - This math symbol, a sideways V, is also the same thing that an oppressed people might feel. The answer being (fetch) "less than".
I mean, not only was it a third grade level question at BEST, and supposedly aimed at adult experts in general knowledge and insanely obscure trivia, but it's *that* shit. The rot is so real and pervasive and it is everywhere. Fucking the math symbol is what an oppressed people might *feel*. And they're serious.

They kinda have to be, for insurance and legal reasons... but there is still a whole hell of a lot of "if this - do that" they still need to know.

I must be in denial because I find the suggestion that all healthcare workers in hospitals conspired to actively kill people for money beyond the pale.
Many may have followed directives that contributed to the un-necessary death re- placing sick young people in seniors homes, but, at the height of the panic I don't believe that the majority of doctors and nurses actively killed patients on purpose for money.

Public Health Powers During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Rather than deferring to scientific decisions during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Supreme Court often struck them down. The justices invalidated New York and California’s restrictions on religious gatherings (eTable in the Supplement) despite considerable evidence that congregate settings pose a high transmission risk. The Supreme Court similarly overturned the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention eviction moratorium despite findings that evictions contribute to the spread of SARS-CoV-2.

I think contextually, you have to remember Fauci was seen as one of the foremost experts at the time. That makes all of this even more insidious.

To give credit where credit is due, a vocal minority of critics were after Fauci's head for years prior to this, and they were right. Nobody paid them much attention because normies don't care all that much about stuff like AIDS.

Wouldn't a man of science say "conjecture" instead?
Even a baseless conecture if he knows of it and finds it without merit?
However, knowing the lab and its function, wouldn't he have to say, more honestly, it is "well-reasoned hypothesis" and merits further investigation?
Thast is more scientific than pulling out of your ass that it magically appeared out of nowhere. Although this spontanious appearance had 'scientifically' explained rats in centuries past. The magic rats was used as an example of bad science in, what, middle school science. Right before some monk and his pea patch.

The WHO’s vaccines advisors said Tuesday they don’t recommend annual Covid-19 vaccine boosters for healthy adults under ages 50 to 60 after they have received their first vaccine and booster, and they no longer recommend vaccinating healthy children or teens against the virus.
Health authorities in the U.S. and many other countries continue to recommend a dose of a bivalent Covid-19 vaccine booster for anyone over the age of 6 months. The latest WHO guidelines represent a significant step away from that stance, and come as Covid-19 vaccine makers face pushback in the U.S. over pricing and as health officials consider a postpandemic future.

The only legitimate question at this point is whether United States and Chinese governmental elements intentionally released the virus. Whether it was malice or incompetence matters little to the dead's loved ones, but it would be nice to tack this additional crime against humanity if that's what it is on the bill of particulars against the United States.

This is probably not on most people's radar, but more and more of the actual doctors in these settings are H1B's or other recent imports. They don't look at this stuff like we do: they follow the procedure, and if you die you die and it's not really going to bother them much.

Purdue Pharma teaches us that they don't have to be actively conspiring, just following guidelines from the flashy cute booster gals handing out money and favors. One way of looking at this is everyone should have been more aware of the scandals going on inside the medical profession in the last couple of decades, and now we pay the price.

Rand Paul has been on the legislative side of the government, not the executive side. Perhaps that's the confusion. Or, perhaps, Fauci is emgaging in more questionable practices but, if so, OPM is allowing. (One retired, OPM becomes the retiree's agency.) That would be a problem as a violation of civil service rules and laws.

There is no way it was intentional. Most people are a resource, for their basic labor if nothing else. China was welding doors to keep people inside - pretty much writing them off - when this shit first escaped that Wuhan lab. China does not waste resources without reason.
That tells me China, at first, feared something way worse than Covid got out of that lab.

But the whole origins thing, in context, was/is a distraction. Regardless of origin, and histrionic corruption/misconduct by scum like Fauci and the corrupt, incompetent institutions, the "so what" of all this was the *response* to the epidemic. That's were the economic, social, and medical damage was done.
And that of course was *also* well understood, already. "Mitigation" was/is a fantasy. As the control group (Sweden, FL, a few other jurisdictions) demonstrated - redundantly. There was almost certainly literally *zero* benefit from *any* of it. Zero. Regardless of origin (definitely a legitimate topic and obviously one soaked in corruption and misconduct), that's the main issue. Any discussion of that? Of course not.
