The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition
One of the many things the pandemic has taught us is that the phrase “the common sense of the American people,” so beloved by politicians on the stump, needs to be dropped off a bridge. Anyone relying on the common sense of the American people is leaning on air.This is a serious allegation, as Mr. Wolcott well knows, schooled as he was before classrooms were overrun by Education Professionals. The American experiment in liberty ultimately depends, we were once taught, on the judgment of its citizens. We the people needn’t be Aristotles to elect wise representatives, but our Founders recognized that a nation of fools can only ever be counted on to elect slightly more clever fools.
Clever intellectuals certainly play a valuable role in society. If I want an insightful countercultural observation or a snappy turn of phrase, I’ll happily turn to James Wolcott, whose writing I’ve always enjoyed. But as for how to live a life, I believe I’ll stick to the wisdom of my people out here in the sticks. It’s gotten us this far, and from the looks of things in New York City, I dare say we’re doing all right, despite having not a single Vanity Fair writer in our midst.Being glib, or, if you prefer, articulate, is not an indicator of intelligence. Direct your attention to any one of 50 TV news pundits for proof. Being critical and dismissive of others is not an indicator of intelligence or sophistication. It is however a powerful indicator of being an asshole. I have spent most of my life in and around blue cities, and yet the number of impressive interactions with strangers is dwarfed when compared to my time in "flyover country." And why is that? Because those elites, who are overwhelmingly to the left, have accepted the progressive cant that humanity is fungible, that we have no spark of the divine in us, that we are lumps of protoplasm that can be interchanged with any other. We are not individuals, we are simply the herd, and can be dismissed as such without any thought. That way lies North Korea and Cuba and Venezuela and the gulags and the concentration camps, so I will happily accept the judgement of America's common sense over the pontifications of the elites.

yeah, I've seen more smug, assholish city dwellers than idiot country bumpkins.
interestingly enough, that also corresponds a lot to college degrees and age. it's amazing to see how many of the early 20-30 year olds really believe that they are SO much smarter simply because they went to college.

Big OT:
In my local news this AM, I see Exelon has decided to shut down the Byron, IL nuclear generating station next year, for financial reasons I guess. A few decades ago, I had the great good luck to be invited to join the station's SALP 3 inspection tour with the NRC. At that time, reactor 1 was online, and reactor 2 was due to start soon.
I was amazed at the massive equipment and the meticulous documentation of every pipe and valve, and even tiny sealed holes in the walls had long serial numbers on them. I stood on top of the head of reactor 2, an unbelievably large stainless steel machined casting with dozens of huge stainless bolts ringing it. I climbed many many ladders. I visited the control room, with thousands of green lights on the unit 1 side, and thousands of red lights on the not-yet-started unit 2 side. It took a lot of brains and money to build this.
As far as I know, this 2GW station has operated completely safely for these decades, providing carbon-free electricity to the distribution network. The station was expected to run for at least another 20 years. Perhaps I am not informed enough to opine, but I think we need this station to keep running for the clean energy it provides. Of course, another concern will be the loss of many hundreds of jobs, which undoubtedly helped the nice town of Byron to thrive.
Anyway, I pass this info along to The Horde in the expectation that you will find the story interesting. If you live near a plant like this, likely they offer public tours from time to time, and you ought to check it out. You won't see as much as I did on the SALP inspection, but you will be quite impressed by what you do see.

Considering the American people put a Kenyan dog-eating crackhead into the White House for eight years, I'd say that's a pretty good observation in general.

I think studies have demonstrated deplorables travel more and thus have actually seen more of the world than big city elitists. It's hard to travel a lot when your paycheck goes to paying the rent on your one bedroom basement apartment.
Small town conservatives are also better read than those elitists. They are also more likely to be familiar with liberals and the way they think than the reverse.

My personal observations of the Elitist Left is that they believe that there is no absolute truth, and that man ( meaning them, and their ilk, actually) is the measure of all things. They believe that if only THEY ran the world, they could create a Utopia. With themselves at the top of the pyramid. Of course. They are all secular materialists, in short, with a nice garnish of narcissism.

IMO, common sense isn't something you're born with. In my case, I had to see and hear it before I caught on. Then a new world opened up before me and I never looked back.
It seems as though there are many forces arrayed in the world designed to keep us from finding the source of this common sense and navigating through them is a big challenge. But if you find it, that's the reward. It is the Light upon your path that shows you where to step.

It is elitism; pure and simple, and it is misplaced. As a thoroughly unscientific sample, my experience is that if you want to be snubbed and treated rudely and hear all sorts of jingoistic blather about pretty much every topic of import, then spend some time in the blue cities and their suburbs. But if you want to be treated kindly and with compassion and without reference to your skin color or religion or politics, then head to Middle America.
++++++++++
By degrees, yes. But there is also an East/West aspect to it as well. The snobbish elitism in San Francisco or LA, for example, is outrageous but much better hidden in my experience than it is in New York or in Boston. Boston is America's most unfriendly, elitist and arrogant city in my experience. I had the same experience in both New York and Boston, and it taught be that Bostonians are actually the rude ones. New Yorkers are just in a hurry.
I needed to find a subway station. I asked a man on the street in NY and he barked out directions and hurried on. In Boston, though, two separate people took the time to stop, look me in the eye, and tell me to go fuck myself. The third person laced into me for being stupid - but did give me directions.
That level of rudeness doesn't exist out west in my experience. On that coast, they talk bad about you behind your back at their parties.

Well, left-wing Portland Reddit is all excited at the sportsball leagues closing. After all, it is the first step towards their ultimate goal - A GENERAL STRIKE.
They are already discussing demands to make during THE GENERAL STRIKE.
The NHL has a unique opportunity - they may yet buckle and join the "boycott", but if they don't, and they are the only league still functioning, they are going to get an enormous amount of new fan support from people disgusted with the other leagues.
If the NHL tries to keep playing, I'm sure Antifa will try to shut them down, in the cities where they have power.

Does anyone here remember the name Antonio Santiago?
He was the baby in his stroller, shot dead in Brunswick, GA a few years ago by two black teens, who also shot his mother during a botched robbery.
The teens did not get the death penalty, and most likely will be out of prison some day. The MSM quickly forgot the baby's murder, because he was white and didn't fit the narrative. There were no riots and no lootings. Because that's not what we do.
Anyhow, just thought I'd remind everyone.

44 My personal observations of the Elitist Left is that they believe that there is no absolute truth, and that man ( meaning them, and their ilk, actually) is the measure of all things. They believe that if only THEY ran the world, they could create a Utopia. With themselves at the top of the pyramid. Of course. They are all secular materialists, in short, with a nice garnish of narcissism.

I have this feeling, and I can't exactly explain why, that so many of them, ESPECIALLY the 60s Radicals and those directly influenced by them, like to see themselves as the Last People of History, Humanity Perfected, and cannot stand the idea of civilization being able to function without them once they're dead and gone.
So they insist on destroying it.

I needed to find a subway station. I asked a man on the street in NY and he barked out directions and hurried on. In Boston, though, two separate people took the time to stop, look me in the eye, and tell me to go fuck myself. The third person laced into me for being stupid - but did give me directions.

Come to rural areas in the South asking directions and (non-locust) folks will say "Follow me. I'll point when you need to turn off."

Anyway, I pass this info along to The Horde in the
expectation that you will find the story interesting. If you live near a
plant like this, likely they offer public tours from time to time, and
you ought to check it out. You won't see as much as I did on the SALP

I worked as an armed guard at a Nuke plant in CT from some time after I retired from the Navy.
Walking around that place I would come up on some piece of equipment or piping/tubing that seemed completely out of place and I often wondered why did they put that piece right there.
My favorite place in the plant was the spent fuel pool especially at night.
I quit because they were scheduling a refueling outage and said we would have to work 20 straight days with no time off and we would have to sleep on cots in the cafeteria.

I would be more than fine with a high school graduation requirement to take a road trip across this country. You cannot fathom the vastness, variegation and diversity of this country by flying over most of it between destinations. The long-haul road trip is a great way to better understand this place where we live and meet people from all walks. At the highway truck stop or the small interstate hotel, you will meet lots of people with different backgrounds - but they're almost all Americans.

Had a chic try to give me a stern talking to about global warming while waiting at the register during lunch in Oakland, just because she detected my southern accent. I told her to keep the fucking burrito and walked off. Told more than one Seattle native to piss off for similar things.

First, the good news:
CBSLA -- A judge has denied a fourth attempt by Los Angeles County for a temporary restraining order against a Sun Valley church for holding indoor worship services under the county's coronavirus orders.
Yes!! Now the bad news (this post is 1 year old but interesting):
BOMBSHELL: "Justice Democrats" Founder is THE Organizer of Evangelical Social Justice Movement
In this bombshell report by Pulpit and Pen, we will demonstrate how Democratic financier and organizer Zack Exley is behind the successful attempt to change the political ideology of America's major evangelical institutions, ministries, and seminaries through propagation of what is known as "Social Justice." . . .
https://tinyurl.com/y4trhsb5
Probably why a lot of churches have not been fighting back against the Left -- they've been infiltrated, from the Vatican to Evangelicals?
Aaaand now I see that Pulpit and Pen blog was killed by facebook deplatforming earlier this year. Of course.

Microsoft and amazon and Starbucks changed all that. Seattle turned snobby pretentious blue somewhere in the 90s. I think the grunge era was our last hope for not becoming snooty blue.
There are a lot of people here who are NOT the uber progressive stuck up assholes. And they are not on board with defunding the police and going full commie.

I think the worst the state could charge him with would be the misdemeanor. If he's legal in Illinois and the firearm was legally obtained.
But I stayed at a Holiday Inn last night, so grain of salt.

Sure.
Go to your kitchen, remove from the fridge the bag of bagels you bought yesterday at the store, slice one, pop it into the toaster, wait until it pops up, cover with butter or cream cheese or whatever you like,
Perfect.

I think he would need a hunters course cert but the out of state thing confuses it. May not be something they issue to OOS people.
I think the worst the state could charge him with would be the misdemeanor. If he's legal in Illinois and the firearm was legally obtained.
But I stayed at a Holiday Inn last night, so grain of salt.

I've been wondering for a long time - this county used to be racist against all sorts of groups. Irish, Japanese, Chinese. Anyone see any Irish or Japanese racism lately? It doesn't exist. What happened?
Those groups got rich and joined the elite.
So racism doesn't cause poor economic performance of a group, poor economic performance of a group causes racism. Because racism = elitism.

I read 'The Lawrenceville Stories' by Owen Johnson this year. It's set in pre-WW 1 boy's boarding school. In addition to the fun and humor of the pranks and characters of the stories, it is sort of a struggle with elitism.
The boys of the boarding school are being groomed to BE the elite (especially later, at Yale in 'Stover at Yale' by the same author). Some of them ARE elite, but even then, there's a big problem of those who are not but who are going to be treated as such because of who they are friends with, where they went to school, etc.
Owen Johnson comes down, somewhat reluctantly, on the pro-elite side...but only when the elite truly are smarter, more noble, more honest than the average.
I'm more cynical. I don't believe in empowering people until they prove themselves. I'm for mandatory term limits or even for drafting politicians and beaucrats by random lottery.

Posted by: Warai-otoko at August 27, 2020 11:05 AM (/EuRN)
He's 17 and can be tried as an adult. Not sure he was legal in carrying the firearm, but his parents would say "he stole it" if they're attacked.

Sometimes the discussions on this here very webzine get bogged down in the weeds of the legal industrial complex. So I invite the folks here, occasionally take a step back, look at what is happening in any one of these particular incidents, and see how little common sense factors into the equation, when it comes to the legal system.
The kid said he was there to defend property, there's video of him walking around the streets, JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE WHO WAS CARRYING A WEAPON, and whatever it was the got him singled out, they came after him like he was a cancer in their midst.
So he shot three people. I don't think there's one ounce of evidence any of the three didn't have it coming.
And yet the state is potentially going to try to lock him up for life.
All because he thought it was a good idea to try to protect property, when the city and state were unwilling to do it themselves.

If you can believe it, a NYT reporter (of all people!) has put together an informative review of the videos of the shooting and the events that preceded it and noticed something I hadn't, and hadn't seen anyone else point out - Kyle Rittenhouse did not fire the first shot. The reason he stopped, turned, and fired on the stumpy child molester is because one of his pursuers fired a shot.

Well, left-wing Portland Reddit is all excited at the sportsball leagues closing.
During this discussion, someone said something so stupid about the NBA players that I instinctively think that it is true.
You see, they are calling their walkout a "boycott", because the players think that is legally very different than walking out and calling it a "strike".
A "strike" would trigger the anti-strike provisions of their contract, you see, and they think that a "boycott" won't. Love to run that by a labor attorney.
The owners may take no action against the players, because of the bad publicity.
OTOH, the professional sports leagues are bleeding money, and the players are a major league team's largest cost. The owners are generally very rich, but one wonders if there might be an owner out there who might see an opportunity to reduce his losses considerably by actually noticing that the players are engaging in a strike.

In my local news this AM, I see Exelon has decided to shut down the Byron, IL nuclear generating station next year, for financial reasons I guess. A few decades ago, I had the great good luck to be invited to join the station's SALP 3 inspection tour with the NRC. At that time, reactor 1 was online, and reactor 2 was due to start soon.
=====
Infuriating.
Once again, my little city decided to buy energy certificates from 'green' vendors. Of course, they are buying from ComEd and marking up the kwh to us peasants.
I am trying to compose a letter to my local reps without sounding like a lunatic. Of course, I am a lunatic, but the waste and kickbacks are mind-boggling.

I paid $70,000 for this place, less than 20 yrs ago. Show me that same deal in New York. They call me a backwards country hick because I live in rural Indiana, I say they are retarded for paying four times that money for a fraction of the space.

The NHL has a unique opportunity - they may yet buckle and join the "boycott", but if they don't, and they are the only league still functioning, they are going to get an enormous amount of new fan support from people disgusted with the other leagues.
If the NHL tries to keep playing, I'm sure Antifa will try to shut them down, in the cities where they have power.

This will be interesting as I believe the only location the NHL is playing their games is in Edmonton, Ontario, Canada.

Communists have been dreaming of a "General Strike" since 1917, it's amazing. What makes it really hilarious is that we got as close to a "General Strike" in April of this year, and everyone hated it. (except for a few real political weirdos)
This kind of thing is so far "out there" that I actually find it amusing. Clever and determined enemies worry me; people who belong in mental institutions don't, not really. Well I suppose I'm wary of them like I'm wary of rabid dogs. I worry about them getting loose, but I don't worry about their plans.

rick - you can post the law all you want. It doesn't matter. Some folks here have decided that kid needs to go to jail - so they're gonna' argue that he's gotta' go to jail until Hell freezes over.
We have got to get this through our heads - some folks here simply do not believe in the concept of using lethal force in self defense. In their minds, that is a power limited to the police.
All the video and testimony of that kid defending himself doesn't matter to them. In their minds - he shot somebody and now he has to pay. That's all there is to it.

Is there a legal requirement to do so?
In Washington and Oregon, electric utilities are required to buy "recs" from green power sources, unless the utility is very small. The environmentalists keep trying to get rid of the exemption for small utilities, of course.

Following cold logic can make you just as wrong as following hot feelings.
Understand that the interplay between logic and feelings is important. Understand that "logic" is only as valid as your ability to sniff out a con. Things can seem perfectly "logical" that are, in fact, outright lies. Realize that a coherent worldview can often be your insulation against flim-flammery and misleading "Facts And Logic".
Own yourself before you try to "own" anybody else.
And always remember that the outputs of a logical argument can only ever be as valid as its inputs.

I suspect people calling for his head weren't listening, but if you watch as he's being chased in the one incident, then after he's shot the two in the second, there's gunfire all around.
The biggest difference between him and all the other people who were carrying guns and firing them is... he hit what he aimed at.

"Oconee Nuclear Power Station has 'The World of Energy' tours."
For Morons in the Chicago area, here are two MUST-SEE tours:
The Yerkes Observatory is fascinating for many reasons. Not just the telescope, but also the unique architecture and ornamentation, and the oak landscaping by Frederick Law Olmstead. The library was roped off to visitors when I was there, but I would have gladly paid $50 to get in there and browse for a couple of hours. It appears Yerkes is currently CLOSED for tours, but this may be only temporary. This site is on primo land in an affluent town, and I suspect there is considerable commercial pressure to demolish it and redevelop it as pricy homes or whatever. So see it if it reopens, if you get a chance.
Fermilab has a huge outreach to the public, offering many tours and lectures on many subjects. Some of the smartest people in the world work there, and they are more than happy to mingle with visitors and give talks. Needless to say, the technology on display is staggeringly stupendous, from the old stuff (Cockcroft-Walton voltage multiplier looks like something right out of Forbidden Planet,) to the new stuff. I never in my life saw so much cast copper before. In the gift shop, you can buy atoms and subatomic particles for souvenirs. You must go and see Fermilab.

On top of that countless businesses and have been looted or burned to the ground destroying those jobs and everything those people worked for and some overpaid, mental defectives think that anyone cares if they practice or play a game?

If possessing a rifle at age 17 is okay, how can they go after him for illegal open carry? You have to open carry a rifle. You can't slide it under your jacket!
Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius at August 27, 2020 11:27 AM (Ejm1K
Exactly. The 17 age for rifle is of course predicated on the hunting license and course certification.
If he doesn't have that or couldn't get it at all, then he should fall under the minor class A misdemeanor.
I don't think there is a federal law prohibiting taking legal firearms across state, just the states own laws on possession and CCL.
There's also the difference between handguns and rifles, hunting vs non hunting, CCL vs open carry and the ever present 2nd Amendment.
Glad he's got some lawyers willing to help.

You know what will be really funny? After all these crybaby professional athletes refuse to play, it will be really funny when the teams inform them that they can't continue to pay them against their contracts.
No revenue coming in from games- no money to pay players who have huge multi-million dollar contract. I will laugh and laugh when I hear about the super mega sports star of the week can't pay for his sports cars or 4 homes after the pro teams cut off the flow of cash. It will be funny to hear them beg their fans for money.
We just need them all to go bankrupt faster so we can either acquire the dead husks of these teams for pennies on the dollar or form new leagues to replace them. Same thing for all the media corporations - I can't wait until they go bankrupt. Of course a 2nd term Trump with both houses of Congress on his side could easily hasten the demise by forcing them all to divest their media properties and go back to the old days when no one company could own multiple media outlets in a market.

So they insist on destroying it.

he was a gentle midget. turning his life around.
The Chicago Sun-Times ran an article on the "victims", focusing on the "gentle skateboarder".
They forgot to mention that the "gentle skateboarder" liked to beat up women, given his criminal history, and was a convicted felon because of it.
They forgot to mention the criminal histories of the other two as well.

I think the West Coast states can be saved. But it will take laws at the Federal level that make things like jungle primaries and ballot harvesting illegal. We need to outlaw motor voter registration and vote by mail too. And we should need picture ID to vote. Also, while we are dreaming, we need to be able to purge the voter registrations without having court battles over it.

I see an asshole cop kneeling on the neck of a worthless thug - no good guys that I can spot, and we're probably better off without both of them. Yet everyone around me either sees an angel in blue or a martyred innocent turning his life around. I see a kid that wouldn't have been there if I was his daddy but damn sure did what he had to do to survive - and people are bound and damned determined to muddle it all up into a case of everybody's equally wrong. If I hear "State Lines" one more time, I'm gonna' puke. We're down to just making shit up at this point.

I think that people who worked in the assembly lines of the 1960s and 70s were not the dullards magazine writers assumed they were. When we briefly moved from a suburb to a smaller town, I had the experience of attending a school that was very economically desegregated. We all mingled and met each others' parents and families. Plenty of the people I was told were uneducated, because they did not attend college, were just differently educated. No college classes, but plenty of reading and artisan crafting. Just as we here have passions for historical periods, the men and women on the assembly line did too. I recall one guy who read everything he could about the French Revolution v our revolution, and a woman who read more romantic poetry (Shelley, Keats, Byron) than any English major I ever knew. They just didn't have the degree. The lady attended some lectures at UM and was invited to speak to Freshmen (in 1976) about the value of poetry.
I really have no time for the dismissive Vanity Fair writers or for the Hollywood/Broadway idiots who are so crudely dismissive of most of their countrymen.

I suspect people calling for his head weren't listening, but if you watch as he's being chased in the one incident, then after he's shot the two in the second, there's gunfire all around.
The biggest difference between him and all the other people who were carrying guns and firing them is... he hit what he aimed at.

Gunfire all around. He's not giving any indication he's afraid of being shot. Not sure if that's brass balls, or adrenaline, or if by that point he just couldn't hear.

I went to college in the Southern Tier (Tompkins County). I was chatting with my landlord once during a dust-up he was having with the city government over sidewalks (it was the first time I got to see Eastern good-old-boy corruption up close).
He told me his property taxes were so huge that he paid them monthly, and that they were about the same size as his mortgage. I boggled. He told me, "if it weren't for the colleges constantly feeding in people who have no choice but to be here, there would be no way I would consider owning property in this place."

Shut up and play basketball, you idiot. You keep your mouth shut about the evils of China, you can keep your mouth shut about what you think is bad here, too.

I suspect the NY bagel/water observation is based on the same phenomenon that makes people prefer the BBQ of their hometown or their grandmother's cooking.

The property taxes in NY are murderous.
Posted by: Mr Aspirin Factory at August 27, 2020 11:35 AM (r3ITp)
Before I moved here I had to sell my old place. It was the middle of nowhere, 2 acres, fifteen minutes to the people's socialist utopia of Bloomington. One couple who looked at the place was from New Jersey. The house was listed at $80,000. They asked what the property taxes on it and were shocked when told it was less than $500 per year. The house they owned in Jersey, property taxes were almost $10,000 per yr. I was shocked by how much they paid every year. They didn't buy my place because it was on a gravel road. They wanted paved roads.

No, silly, it's because black people cook it.
Every non-racist knows fried chicken and collard greens taste better when a black person cooks it.
When I lived in Tuscaloosa, I worked for a while at the big hospital there. They had just opened a new cafeteria for the employees and the food was typical hospital fare. Nothing to write home about.
Then I was told about the still-existing older cafeteria and that most of administration ate there. So one day I followed a guy over there to eat. The wonderfully glorious smell of Southern cooking embraced me when I opened the door. The cooks were all little black ladies who were a joy to be around. Needless to say, I ate there afterwards every day.

I have this feeling, and I can't exactly explain why, that so many of them, ESPECIALLY the 60s Radicals and those directly influenced by them, like to see themselves as the Last People of History, Humanity Perfected, and cannot stand the idea of civilization being able to function without them once they're dead and gone.
So they insist on destroying it.

It's necessary to their ideology. Remember, communism would come out of socialism when the last vestiges of the old kind of man were destroyed and the new socialist man arose. That new man would be different - fundamentally different - from the man that preceded him.
Socialism and all of its variants are, essentially and necessarily, millennial cults. It is eschatological at its very core. Man as he exists today must be destroyed so that the new man can emerge.

Tomatoes, man. We grow a fine tomato here. If you're just hobby gardening, especially out of boxes or beds, it's pretty common to mix in some sand to try and break our clay up. I do it in my raised beds with the cheapest mulch I can find - and even then, you've got to work the shit out of it.
Farming here is mostly soy beans and corn. Used to have a lot of tobacco - thanks Clinton, ya' dick. Still have a lot of pork - but the major packers broke the industry about two decades ago with some pretty obvious price fixing. You don't see any new players getting in - just the folks that survived hanging on. Industrial hemp is trying to take off in fits and starts.

I have to say, it's a real pleasure to have escaped from the meanness of lefty NoVA to the kindness and civility of South Carolina. I don't recall having a black man smile and hold the door for me in NoVA. There were a lot of sullen faces, and there are far fewer down here. The door holding is nice, but the smile is much more important.
That doesn't mean that he agrees with my politics, just that he shares my appreciation of kindness and friendliness. And that's why life is so much better down here.

Homicides were committed and it's up to the DA with jurisdiction, but yeah, the state can do worse and probably will charge him with manslaughter at the least.
And after massive expenditure of time and money he'll be acquitted for clearly defensive use of his firearm.
But at the end of the day his being there armed, locked and loaded was a mistake he'd probably like to take back.

and THIS is why Trump started talking about Amphetamines and Joe Biden yesterday. Like so many of us here, Trump must believe that Biden is going to come up with some stupid way to weasel out of a debate - so Trump is already neutralizing the excuses he is going to give for doing it.

These people work for the government. At some point I think it becomes necessary for an ordinary citizen to challenge their government representatives who are making declarative statements without the benefit of due process.
That, or start talking about treason when politicians are openly calling for citizens to be rounded up, harassed, maimed or killed, without the benefit of the law.

348 Homicides were committed and it's up to the DA with jurisdiction, but yeah, the state can do worse and probably will charge him with manslaughter at the least.
And after massive expenditure of time and money he'll be acquitted for clearly defensive use of his firearm.
But at the end of the day his being there armed, locked and loaded was a mistake he'd probably like to take back.

You are absolutely correct. Our clay, although not red, is EXTREMELY

potatoes.
Back in the '80's or so, some Japanese carmaker whose name escapes me was doing research on all-ceramic engines and came down south to check out our red clay. Word in the shops was that the ceramic they made from it was so hard, they couldn't finish them with any known machine tool methods, and the project didn't last after that.

I have to say, it's a real pleasure to have escaped from the meanness of lefty NoVA to the kindness and civility of South Carolina. I don't recall having a black man smile and hold the door for me in NoVA. There were a lot of sullen faces, and there are far fewer down here. The door holding is nice, but the smile is much more important.
That doesn't mean that he agrees with my politics, just that he shares my appreciation of kindness and friendliness. And that's why life is so much better down here.

Previously, I lived for many years in Orlando, and I'm originally from
Cincinnati. One of the first things that struck me upon moving to this
area were the nice people. There are truly a lot of nice, normal,
decent people here.

Me might, with adequate prep and enough go-juice. But he has a lousy record and Trump can always play a nasty card. All he has to do is drop enough vaguely offensive (not directly, like he usually does) non-sequiturs that demand that Biden change gears, and Biden will pop like a balloon. He'll either fall apart, or get angry and make threats, or ignore it and stick to his talking points. Any of those would be obvious.

Ah, except that the range of human intelligence isn't that broad. You
cannot have an IQ below about 50 and still breathe on your own, and 200
is virtually impossible.
There's an IQ classification below Imbecile that most politicians fall into. It's a highly scientific term called, "We had to show them how to fap."

He might start out that way, but the longer it goes the worse he'd be because he is too tired to stand up that long, and because he gets enraged when confronted or questioned, especially these days.
"good old Joe" America's grandad stops being so kindly seeming when he rips out one of his demented chain of thought rants when confronted on anything.

Substitute American States for countries in the domino theory of communism.
Domestic tranquillity is obviously under attack. Faction building (the enemy of my enemy is my friend fallacy) has been implemented by “American” communists for decades. Top that all off with incredibly powerful modern propaganda and we are looking at the most serious threat to America since founded.
Mark Twain noted that a lie travels the globe before the truth gets out of bed back when news was in available only in print and via Telegraph. The bullshit hits via Twitter and TikTok within seconds today. People react with violence before considering the veracity of Breaking News whatsoever.

Joe,
I am old. And I had to drive my first husband for an hour and fifteen minutes to take him to the ER. It didn't really matter and I sometimes think it would have been better if he'd just died at home. It's one thing if you have some ongoing issue, like cancer or kidney disease. I don't know about eastern TN but many rural areas can take you in and move you to a larger facility if needed.

and then we flew back in to SEATAC airport. Everyone was so different it was culture shock. Unhappy, unhealthy and most of them had some shade of blue hair. I turned to my wife and said - looks like we're moving to Florida.

yeah. My dad has some chronic issues (though he, paradoxically, seems to be getting stronger and healthier over the past ten years). And yes, that was the point they were targeting. The local hospital is good enough, and the University hospital is 45 minutes away (far less by helicopter, if needed) if something goes seriously pear-shaped.

I'm pretty sure there'll be a debate.
Biden will wear a mask and just before he goes on stage his handlers will shove a big glob of peanut butter in his mouth.
And all the oral contortions Biden goes through for the next hour or so will look like he's talking behind his mask.
Rich Little or someone similar will do Biden voice and answers offstage.
That's the only way Low Bar Biden could "debate".
Sad.

Me might, with adequate prep and enough go-juice. But he has a lousy record and Trump can always play a nasty card. All he has to do is drop enough vaguely offensive (not directly, like he usually does) non-sequiturs that demand that Biden change gears, and Biden will pop like a balloon. He'll either fall apart, or get angry and make threats, or ignore it and stick to his talking points. Any of those would be obvious.

It blows my mind that the homeowners are ok with this. I'm pretty sure they'd be on the hook too if the insurance went after the fraud.

There was an enterprising person who started making Alabama t-shirts that are actually dyed white shirts using Alabama clay. Came out a rusty red and looked pretty cool.

Pelosi calls nearly half of US voters "enemies of the people" and declares that you cannot even speak to a sitting president lest you legitimize him.
But it is Trump who is "divisive."

it's amazing to see how many of the early 20-30 year olds really believe that they are SO much smarter simply because they went to college.

>>That's the danger. It'll be a narrative that the left will run with and convince too many people of. Far from everyone, but too many.
They would say that if Joe blew off the debate and stayed in his basement. Those that can be convinced by the media already are.

Actually been here for awhile but haven't had anything to add to the conversation except I have been thinking about this all morning.
Noem/Grenell 2024.
How could the left counter woman/gay? She is smart, gorgeous and experienced manager having been a governor. He is smart, experienced foreign policy executive and the sexiest gay man I have ever seen.

I think they were called "Dirt Shirts". It was a nationwide thing and yeah, they all looked pretty good. California's was more of a golden color (because "The Golden State").

The thing about common sense is that it refers to concrete 'things' which several members of the community communally perceive. We sense things, in common.
It's not a special perception of what this "2" means and that other "2" means or what "plus" and "equals" in this peculiar case and circumstance mean to give an individual and unique value of lived-truth represented as "5". The common core values are 2 and plus and 5 and equals. Commonly represented as the values they've have since "birth". Commonly perceived. Commonly communicated. Commonly appreciated.
Common sense.
Ordinarily when somebody tries to represent 2+2 as 5, he's trying to cheat somebody else.

He will refuse to debate Trump like many of us predicted here months ago.
Posted by: Mr. Scott (Formerly GWS) at August 27, 2020 11:57 AM (JUOKG)
I always thought so...tw reasons will be given:
1. The "debating this monster racist only legitimizing him" canard floated out there today be Nancy Pants
2. Punchy will give a series of highly edited "interviews" (ie chats) with friendly doofus reporter stumble bums and then declare all his positions are well known now because of these "hard hitting" interviews and a debate is pointless at this point
Neither is going to work, but they've appeared to have given up, so it doesn't matter except as a face-saving exercise for the DNC.

195 head Upstate. You will find thousands of similar deals.

Hubbymayhem is from upstate New York. Even he says , NOPE. Not that kind of acreage or for that price. Double the price tag and you might get something similar.

There's "upstate", and then there UPSTATE.
Are we talking North Country, Central NY, WNY, Southern Tier.
You might get those prices in the western Southern Tier or the North Country (away from Champlain and the Lake Placid area)

And Biden is trying to run a "return to normalcy" campaign at the same time. Weird how this might not be working.
You know who else ran on Return to Normalcy?
'S right, Warren G. Harding, another guy with grope issues.

Said one guy, name not recalled for credit purposes:
"If you're in Lowes and somebody spends ten minutes helping you find something....and he doesn't work there, you're in Texas."
I have a relation who is deeply concerned that some people own pick up trucks who....don't actually need them. He lives in Brooklyn.

Your neoliberal babble is very conservative. Just remember, if your fight your enemies you are racist, sexist, homophobe so surrender is the only conservative option. It was good enough Bill Buckley and Ronald Reagan, so it's good enough for you.

On point with the smugness and condescension thing. I grew up in a working class town in NJ, went to college in Iowa, moved to Chicago after and then settled in west 'burbs back in late '90s and have been sick of the I live in the city so I'm superior crap for ever. It's not difficult. Anyone can do it. You find a place, sign a lease, and ta da, you live in the city. You're not special. I get that bs from my city dweller friends to this day. I live in a small city, with good schools, an outstanding downtown, safe and residents that demand it stays that way especially given our property taxes. Ugh.

I'm gonna assume that the idiots who ransacked my father's car last night were mostly unarmed.
And the ones who ransacked his wife's car the night before that were probably mostly unarmed as well.
Their house is on the market, and they are departing the city of Allentown...
