The Quotes of The Day

Quote I

“For right now, landowners have to remember that Fourth Amendment protections only extend to the home, personal effects and the curtilage. If you post your property no trespassing, private citizens have to stay away, but that doesn’t apply to government officials who don’t even need probable cause.” Stephen Mutnick, a criminal defense attorney with Winslow & McCurry, PLLC in Midlothian, Va

Quote II

"When it comes to going into the physical stores, we are not going to create a situation where there is a time sensitivity that would create crowd situations,” Marisa Thalberg, Lowe’s executive vice president, chief brand and marketing officer


Quote III

Too much of the last four years was wasted, and there needs to be a serious reckoning with the woke dictators of Big Tech. Among the many consequences of lockdown has been a massive transfer from small business to global monopolies such as Amazon. So Jeff Bezos is much richer and far more powerful than he was a year back. Amazon is the company store of Covidland: for an increasing number of products, there's nowhere else to go.Mark Steyn


Quote IV

“If people want to protest they can, but they shouldn’t be protesting on the sidelines during the football game, especially when they are making $10 million a year for something that they would be doing anyway for free if they weren’t in the league or the NFL or in the NBA,” President Donald Trump

Quote V

"Well, if people are not wearing masks, then maybe we should be mandating it,"Dr. Anthony Fauci

The things I learn composing The ONT. For example, did you know there was a Eunuchmaker web site? Neither did I. But for a 28 year old man from Virginia he did. And probably regrets it. Or as the old saying goes, "You get what you pay for".

OCTOBER 23--Two Oklahoma men are behind bars after allegedly performing “unlicensed gender reassignment surgery” on a male victim who told cops he met one of the defendants during online research about castration, according to court records.

Investigators charge that Bob Lee Allen, 53, used scalpels to remove the 28-year-old victim’s scrotum and testicles during a procedure earlier this month at a residence in Wister, a town in eastern Oklahoma. Allen allegedly was assisted during the procedure by Thomas Evans Gates, 42.

Cops learned of the castration when the victim, who had traveled from his home in Virginia earlier this month, went to a hospital seeking treatment.

The victim told police that he met Allen on the Eunuchmaker web site and that the amateur surgeon claimed 15 years experience. The October 12 procedure--for which Allen did not charge--was performed atop a “make shift table” in Allen’s home, which cops described in a probable cause affidavit as a small “oilfield bunk house.”

The victim, who was awake during the two-hour castration, said Allen had injected him with an anesthetic “in the needed areas” prior to surgery. When the procedure was done, “Allen said that he was going to consume the parts and laughed and said that he was a cannibal,” the victim recalled.

‘Boogaloo Bois’ Staged Attack on Minneapolis Police Precinct During George Floyd Protests: Feds

Federal charges of plotting to incite a riot and committing an act of violence to spark a riot have been brought against a Texas man claiming to be a member of the Boogaloo Bois, a militant extremist group, with prosecutors claiming the man opened fire on a Minneapolis police precinct as part of a plot to foment unrest amid protests in the wake of George Floyd’s death.

In a federal criminal complaint (pdf) released Friday, and as detailed in an attached affidavit, Ivan Harrison Hunter, a 26-year-old from Boerne, Texas, traveled to Minnesota at the end of May to organize, participate in, and engage in a riot, and committed “an act of violence in furtherance of a riot.”

FBI Special Agent Jason Bujold said in the affidavit that Hunter claimed to be a member of the Boogaloo Bois, which the complaint describes as a “loosely-connected group of individuals espousing violent anti-government sentiments” and that the group’s name “references a supposedly impending second civil war in the United States and is associated with violent uprisings against the government.”

The serving of sushi on a naked woman called “body sushi” or “naked sushi” — is part of the Japanese practice of nyotaimori. The practice has been criticized in recent years, with civil rights and community groups saying it objectifies women’s bodies. WELL DUH!!!!

The San Antonio Express-News reported Friday that it had obtained two photos that showed San Antonio Fire Chief Charles Hood posing next to a woman who does not appear to be wearing any clothes and whose body is partly covered by sushi, flowers and leaves as she lays on a table. Hood was not in uniform in the photos.

City Manager Erik Walsh was informed about the photos by the newspaper.


“I’ve just been made aware of this today and will certainly be looking into it,” Walsh said. “We all have to be aware that our actions outside of the workplace — good, bad or otherwise — reflect on the organization we represent.”

Hood, who has been fire chief since 2007, said in a statement that the photo was taken at a firefighter’s 50th birthday party in January.

“I certainly didn’t intend to offend anyone, and if I did, I sincerely apologize,” Hood said.

On Friday, he defended his actions to the newspaper. “You walk in the front door and there’s a sushi lady there that I guess is a business, so I stopped and posed and take a picture,” Hood said. “It would be like me taking a picture with a flamenco danger in Vegas or a Spurs dancer at Top Golf where the Spur dances happen to be there.”

California, one step closer to be a police state. That Thanksgiving dinner you are planning on? Well, let's keep it under two hours.

ncoded text:

All of which gets me back to California’s crackdown on Thanksgiving. Here’s a brief rundown of the rules – and again, these are mandatory:

• Only three households may gather for Thanksgiving.

• People must dine outdoors, although shade structures are allowed. (Depending on where one is in California, Thanksgiving and the December holidays are likely to be both cold and wet.)

• Even while celebrating together, each of the three permissible households must stay at least six feet away from the two other households at all times, even while outdoors.

• People may remove their face coverings only briefing to eat or drink. Here is a training video

WATCH: Crowd ROARS With Laughter When Trump Plays Biden's 'Hairy Legs' Video In New Hampshire

As you know, Joe Biden loves kids. He loves sniffing them, caressing their hair, whispering softly into their ears, and holding them close as pictures are taken.

According to the former VP, he also loves it when kids reach into the pool and rub the his hairy legs. We've all seen the infamous video of him bragging about this encounter.

Once again the NFL proves that it is a joke.

The NFL has fined the Tennessee Titans $350,000 for violating protocols leading to the league’s first COVID-19 outbreak during the season, a source familiar with the discipline told The Associated Press.

The Titans had 24 team employees, including 13 players, test positive for COVID-19 between Sept. 24 and Oct. 11.

The outbreak led the NFL to postpone two Tennessee games and the rescheduling of a game against Pittsburgh from Oct. 4 to Sunday and the second against Buffalo from Oct. 11 to Oct. 13.

Once again another Sunday at Casa Mis Hum without watching the NFL.

The Angry Man

For all the interest group pandering that shapes modern American politics, the group that may well have decided the election recently might have come down to the demographic of “The Angry Man.”

The Angry Man is difficult to stereotype. He comes from all economic backgrounds, from dirt-poor to filthy rich. He represents all geographic areas in America, from sophisticated urbanite to rural redneck, Deep South to Yankee North, Left Coast to Eastern Seaboard.

No matter where he’s from, Angry Men share many common traits; they aren’t asking for anything from anyone other than the promise to be able to make their own way on a level playing field. In many cases, they are independent businessmen and employ several people. They pay more than their share of taxes and they work very hard for what they have and intend to keep.

He’s used to picking up the tab, whether it’s the Christmas party for the employees at his company, three sets of braces, college educations or a beautiful wedding or two. Not because he was forced to, but because it’s the right thing to do.

The Angry Man believes the Constitution should be interpreted as it was written. It is not as a “living document” open to the whims and vagaries of appointed judges and political winds.

The Angry Man owns firearms, and he’s willing to pick up a gun and use it in defense of his home, his country and his family. He is willing to lay down his life to defend the freedom and safety of others, and the thought of killing someone if necessary to achieve those goals gives him only momentary pause.

The Angry Man is not, and never will be, a victim. Nobody like him drowned in Hurricane Katrina. He got his people together and got out. Then, he went back in to rescue those who needed help or were too stupid to help themselves in the first place. He was selfless in this, just as often a civilian as a police officer, a National Guard soldier or a volunteer firefighter. Victimhood syndrome buzzwords; “disenfranchised,” “marginalized” and “voiceless” don’t resonate with The Angry Man. “Press ‘one’ for English” is a curse-word to him.

His last name, his race and his religion don’t matter. His ancestry might be Italian, English, African, Polish, German, Slavic, Irish, Russian, Hispanic or any of a hundred others. What does matter is that he considers himself in every way to be an American. He is proud of this country and thinks that if you aren’t, you are whole-heartedly encouraged to find one that suits you and move there.

The Angry Man is usually a man’s man. The kind of guy who likes to play poker, watch football, go hunting, play golf, maintain his own vehicles and build things. He coaches kid’s baseball, soccer and football and doesn’t ask for a penny. He’s the kind of guy who can put an addition on his house with a couple of friends, drill an oil well, design a factory or work the land. He can fill a train with 100,000 tons of coal and get it to the power plant so that you can keep the lights on while never knowing everything it took to do that. The Angry Man is the backbone of this country.

He’s not racist, but is truly disappointed and annoyed, when people exhibit behavior that typifies the worst stereotypes of their ethnicity. He’s willing to give everybody a fair chance if they’re willing to work hard and play by the rules. He expects other people to do the same. Above all, he has integrity in everything he does.

The Angry Man votes, and he loathes the dysfunction now rampant in government. It’s the victim groups being pandered to and the “poor me” attitude that they represent. The inability of politicians to give a straight answer to an honest question. The tax dollars that are given to people who simply don’t want to do anything for themselves. The fact that, because of very real consequences, he must stay within a budget but for some obscure reason the government he finances doesn’t. Mostly, it’s the blatantly arrogant attitude displayed implying that we are too stupid to run our own lives and only people in government are smart enough to do that.

The Angry Man has reached his limit. When a social justice agitator goes on TV, leading some rally for Black Lives Matter, safe spaces or other such nonsense, he may bite his tongue but, he remembers. When a child gets charged with carrying a concealed weapon for mistakenly bringing a penknife to school, he takes note of who the local idiots are in education and law enforcement. But when government officials are repeatedly caught red-handed breaking the law and getting off scot-free, The Angry Man balls-up his fists and readies himself for the coming fight. He knows that this fight, will be a live or die situation, so he prepares fully. Make no mistake, this is a fight in which he is not willing to lose and he will never give up.

Obama calls him a Clinger.

Hillary calls him Deplorable.

Bill calls him Redneck.

Black lives Matter calls him Racist.

Feminists call him Sexist.

ISIS calls him an Infidel.

Donald Trump calls him an American.


(H/T Cousin Chuck)

Now we are simply "Chumps".

Reportedly, the Trump supporters were honking their horns and using megaphones, including one person who chanted, “Four more years!”

Biden called the Pennsylvania Trump supporters “chumps” twice during Saturday’s rally.

“By the way, we don’t do things like those chumps out there with the microphone are doing, the Trump guys,” Biden said.

“Look, we’ve got to come together.”

“I’ll work as hard for those who don’t support me as those who do, including those chumps at the microphone out there,” Biden said, then coughing into his hand.

“That’s the job of a president, the duty to care for everyone. The duty to heal.”

Will this be the last time we ever hear of Meg Whitman? Or will she crash and burn again in the land of commerce?

Trumpenfreude is when something bad happens to people who go out of their way to trash Donald John Trump. The comeuppance of some rich folk is sweeter than wine. Today's loser is a multi-billionaire who the New York Times listed in 2008 among those most likely to become the first woman president.

It's Meg Whitman, who successfully ran eBay for 10 years before running for governor of California in 2010. This politically savvy businesswoman spent $144 million of her own money to lose to Jerry Brown by 13 points.

She moved on to Hewlett-Packard, turned its profits into losses, and resigned.

Then she helped launch Quibi, a $1.5 billion business venture.

Good news for GA State Rep. Dar'shun Kendrick.

Coyotes soon to become non-existent with roadrunner decoys. 800 trillion bucks and jobs up the wazoo. (H/T Brother Bill)

EL PASO, TX—After Trump brought attention to the coyote epidemic at the southern border during the debates, Democrats on Twitter are offering unique solutions to the problem, such as setting up decoy roadrunners to distract the coyotes.


"Everyone knows that a coyote's greatest nemesis is the roadrunner. That's just science," said AOC to reporters. "Trump has done nothing to stop the scourge of deadly coyotes smuggling innocent children into the concentration camps at the southern border. We need to do something with science to make it stop!"

AOC and The Squad have partnered to promote legislation that would require large cardboard cutouts of the roadrunner from the famous Warner Brothers cartoons to be placed every 8 feet at the southern border.

RIP, Jerry Jeff Walker age 78. F*ck cancer.
Country music singer Jerry Jeff Walker, the man behind "Mr. Bojangles," died Friday after a battle with throat cancer. He was 78.

"He was at home until an hour before his passing," his wife of 46 years, Susan Walker, told the Austin American-Statesman. "He went very peacefully, which we were extremely grateful for."

Born Ronald Clyde Crosby in New York in 1942, Walker cut his teeth in the folk music scene of Greenwich Village in the '60s. After spending a night in a New Orleans drunk tank in the mid-60s, Walker wrote "Mr. Bojangles," which would go on to become a hit and attract several covers by other famous artists including Bob Dylan, Harry Belafonte and Sammy Davis Jr.

After moving to Austin in 1971, Walker had an outsize impact on the country music scene there, helping to create genre known as "outlaw country" — a sort of blend between rock and folk — which was also popularized by Willie Nelson and others around the same time.

yeah no: I was alive four years ago. No one was saying Hillary's lead was collapsing. Only a couple polling groups (I want to say they were Trafalgar and LA Times) showed Trump closing the gap, but the "mainstream" consensus was Hillary would win in a route.

Fauci also thinks we should permanently give up handshaking.

Handshaking dates back to the Ancient Greeks, and since we are social primates, its utility is obvious in navigating social situations.

It is a practice that has survived hundreds of epidemics, but now that the Chinese Death Plague is here, Commissar Fauci has issued his diktat. You peasants should obey, or else.

Fauci also thinks we should permanently give up handshaking.

Handshaking dates back to the Ancient Greeks, and since we are social primates, its utility is obvious in navigating social situations.

It is a practice that has survived hundreds of epidemics, but now that the Chinese Death Plague is here, Commissar Fauci has issued his diktat. You peasants should obey, or else.

147 CNN is running a story saying "Biden's lead is holding. Four years ago Hillary's was collapsing at this point."

Ask yourself what posture can best mitigate the blow of an election day fuck-up, and that is what the NYT did. The Hillary certitude meter went from 98%, down a little bit, and a little bit more, and very slowly down past 50%, and then they called it a day and drank themselves to death. The fact that liberals will do nothing to prevent a return of that glorious night shows what gluttons they are.

I know one theory about their failure is that they went for short form on the go entertainment right when everyone was forbidden from going anywhere. And then you know you could just watch part of a netflix show instead and then watch the rest on your return trip.

243 The Man had a way with words:
You and I know and do not believe that life is so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery. If nothing in life is worth dying for, when did this begin - just in the face of this enemy? Or should Moses have told the children of Israel to live in slavery under the pharaohs? Should Christ have refused the cross? Should the patriots at Concord Bridge have thrown down their guns and refused to fire the shot heard 'round the world? The martyrs of history were not fools, and our honored dead who gave their lives to stop the advance of the Nazis didn't die in vain. Where, then, is the road to peace? Well it's a simple answer after all.

You and I have the courage to say to our enemies, "There is a price we will not pay." "There is a point beyond which they must not advance." And this - this is the meaning in the phrase of Barry Goldwater's "peace through strength." Winston Churchill said, "The destiny of man is not measured by material computations. When great forces are on the move in the world, we learn we're spirits - not animals." And he said, "There's something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty."

246 Now that Joe has decided that he's not going to do any more campaigning between now and Election Day, it will be a fascinating experiment.

For a couple of centuries, it is has been believed that that politicians need to campaign - that they need to go out and meet people in person, and ask for their vote. Even in the age of television, in-person campaigning was still considered necessary, even if most people would see it on TV.

Joe's abandoning that - he's just going to run a slew of political ads, and hope that people don't notice that he is cowering in his basement.

It's understandable - Biden called Trump supporters "chumps" twice yesterday - his handlers are doubtless terrified that he'll get worse if he continues to be near Trump supporters. And, of course, he's dodging questions about Hunter.

Buzzfeed explained that Biden could be getting the crowds that Trump is getting, but that Biden is so gosh-darn scrupulous about CCP virus protocols that he is not allowing huge crowds to come out and support him, as opposed to that murderous super-spreader Trump.

Yes, it is. I popped into the Yahoo group to say that Yahoo groups were going away and all of a sudden, everybody was thanking me for volunteering to move to groups.io. I still don't know what happened.

Maetenloch sent me the list of old subscribers and I invited them all to the new thing. It seems to be working so far.

I've been considering asking someone with the keys to the blog to put up something letting people know that there is such a thing, but I'm not 100% sure I'm ready to take it to the next level.

If you weren't on the Yahoo group, write to me (my nick at the g mail service) and I'll send you an invite or tell you how to join the group.

381 Ha, ha! I'm reading a flyer from our GOP incumbent state assemblyman. His Dem opponent is a 22 year old who just graduated from Yale. Somehow the GOP got it's hands on his college application essay.

It must have really charmed the admissions office at Yale because he shit all over his hometown. "There's nothing special about it." It's low crime and boring white people live "typical" lives on quiet streets. "The chances of catastrophe are basically non-existent and bad things simply don't happen. I don't want this security blanket because it's a limit on being extraordinary."

So - vote for me so we can become more like Portland and San Fran. To hell with this boring safe community!

Honestly, I thought my childhood neighborhood was boring too when I was 17. So I moved away after college. It didn't occur to me to move back and run for office. But this kid went to Yale and now has even more wokeness and so wants power over the dull safe people he grew up around because he's much smarter than them!

391 Portland, has six - count them, six - proposals to increase taxes on the ballot!

A new light rail line!

A billion dollars plus to renovate old Portland school buildings! (Given current seismic requirements, it would be considerably cheaper to tear down the old buildings and build new ones, but the school board refuses to do that because the old buildings are "historic". Apparently there is more money in graft renovating buildings than building new ones.)

Universal preschool, funded solely by a tax on rich people!

And so on.

These measures invariably pass - Portlanders, particularly renters, are sheep who will vote for any tax increase. Renters then complain that the rent keeps going up.

Amazingly, though, a tax may fail this time. The county library system is one of the best-funded in the country. Eight years ago, to get out of the county budget, they got people to vote to create a special district with its own property tax for libraries. They promised that this would provide a stable, generously-funded tax base to permanently fund the library system.

Well, they're hoping that people have forgotten their promises from eight years ago, since the library district is back with a request for a 50% tax increase. Astonishingly, according to polls, this may not pass, given all the other tax measures on the ballot.

I'll believe a new tax didn't pass in Portland when I see it.

Of course, up here it's already a done deal. Folks don't even put up Trump signs because there's not much point. Alaska is red and so it shall remain.

The Biden twats all put of signs, including those idiot "We Believe" signs that claim that "Water is Life" (no, life comes from God, water is hydrogen and oxygen) followed by "Science is Real" (but apparently the previous statement is not science), and that "Love is Love" which means they are all about buttsecks.

Then there was the good food. If you find yourself in Corsicana, definitely eat at Arlene's Kountry Kitchen. First day, catfish, done perfectly. Second day, chicken-fried steak, the first good one I've had, and it was superb. And don't get me started about the sides.

442 Idiot sister in law, who lives in CA, posted a diatribe on Facebook about how she "educated myself, and then I voted for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. You should too."

Hmm.. educated herself. She had a fool for a teacher. I kinda doubt she read American Thinker, or Spectator, and she certainly didn't peruse the AoSHQ. And yet, she states that she's read "everything."

So today she took her kids on a "Walk to End Hunger." She had them make signs and put them on her car, and then drove the route. Not only did she not walk, I can't imagine it made the slightest bit of difference to "hunger," which is a made up cause based upon people too lazy to feed their kids.

So, did she make meals and deliver them? No. Did she give money to a food bank? No. Did she do a damned thing besides brag about how wonderful she is? No.

A bad chicken-fried steak can be really, really bad. You can eat bad pizza, or bad tacos, but chicken-fried steak seems to need finesse. The meat has to fight back just enough to be a steak, but still be tender. The coating must be crisp. And the gravy has to hit a narrow target of balancing salt, pepper, and chickeny goodness. It doesn't seem like an easy dish to me. It seems like something that should be a final exam in chef school.

499 So, I don't know what this is supposed to mean, but I'm looking at absentee ballot returns in VA by district.

In terms of pure percentage of returns, the two districts with the highest returns right now (as of 2 days ago) are:

VA-5 with 68%. VA-5 has a Cooke Partisan rating of R+6.
VA-9 with 67%. VA-5 has a Cooke Partisan rating of R+19.

The three lowest are:

VA-4 with 53%. VA-4 has a Cooke Partisan rating of D+10.
VA-2 with 58%. VA-2 has a Cooke Partisan rating of R+3.
VA-3 with 58%. VA-3 has a Cooke Partisan rating of D+16.

That could easily read as Republicans are returning more absentee ballots than Democrats, but it's thin. Still...it makes you wonder...

===========

Maybe.

VA-2, with low absentee return and a rating of R+3 has a Democratic incumbent, so that could mean anything, really. One thing it could mean is that Republicans aren't even bothering to fight her.

It could also mean that mostly Democrats requested ballots and these percentages indicate that where Democrats are fewer they're returning their ballots in higher numbers.

There are several ways to dice this, but it's...interesting...

Yes. Kalalau trail, (Haena to Kalaulau, 11 miles), Kauai'i, Hawaii. I stood in that spot and took that same photograph.
From the point of the arch (search images, "Honopu") you can climb and then hike into Honopu (next valley past Kalalau).
Do it at least once in your life.
State parks are cheaper than hotels and you come here for the environment anyway.

I don't think he's trailing by that much. Maybe something like 5 points. Similar to how he trailed Tim Scott when they were elected on the same ballot because of Scott's special election.

Graham, though, remains fairly popular in the state because of his close ties to the military and the VA as well as his top tier constituent services.

Besides, ever since McCain died, I've actually gotten to fairly like Graham.

Happy y'all made it home safely. Hope it all went well when you turned in the trailer?

I have a dumb question though. Didn't they give you full tanks of propane for cooking and to run the generator?

And. The. Furnace?

But, y'all have inspired me. Compared to the four hotel nights at the Hampster Inn, I think I could've damn near rented an RV for the same.

Barring that? Fuckit. I'll buy one.

620 Constituent services is what kept Marion Barry in the mayor's office in D.C. My mother (we grew up ITB) said that when someone called in a pothole, Barry made sure that fixing it was a priority. Barry wasn't stupid until later in life. If you take the time to find out about him, there's a sympathetic quality to him unlike what you are expecting.

621 I think it's within the realm of possibility that we pick up, in terms of House seats:

5 in NY
2 in VA
1 in SC
2 in MN

That would be ten flipped seats in just 4 states which takes the Democratic majority from 232 to 222, just five more than a bare majority.

I think it's possible to pick up those five in CA alone since the CA GOP has decided that ballot harvesting is cool.

---------

David Chapman

@davidchapman141

CNBC poll found 53% of Biden supporters have already voted, while only 25% of Trump supporters have voted.
Dems have banked 26.4M early votes. Clinton got 65.8M votes. 53% of 65.8M is 34.9M votes. Democrats are 8.5M votes short of the mark.

David Chapman

@davidchapman141

The GOP have banked 22M early votes. 25% of 65.8M is 16.5M votes. The Republicans are 5.5M votes ahead of the mark. Assume this CNBC poll is accurate, Biden is headed for brutal defeat.

That's great, but it seems off to me. Yeah, Trump had a great debate but that's a hell of a rise in the space of a few days.

I do wonder if the rappers coming out in favor of Trump had an effect. Maybe it's not that blacks suddenly completely changed their minds about him but that it felt safer to say they liked him.

Who knows if that will translate into votes. But if half that number - 23 percent - votes for him, the Dems are toast.

No way to know what we'll get in a week.

But I'm thinking the only thing one could add to the already improbable script setting the stage for a wave election would be a terrorist attack

Best economy in modern history, still fresh in people's minds. Most negative ju-ju from C19 debacle attaching to governors and even mayors, lots of pent-up frustration and anger over it. The cherry on top - national racism festival, including riots, attacks on police, Third World mau-mauing of regular citizens at outdoor cafes, Dem figures from prez candidate down to mayors silent or providing unbelievable unprecedented cover and "room to destroy". Even pro sports and the Fortune 500 joining the mob.

That there is any doubt about a wave election says maybe all that needs to be said about the state of the electorate.

694 I don't think it was fitty. He's always leaned Republican. And he's also no longer in with the cool crowd.

Some of it may be that he really has done his best with the whole Opportunity Zone type thing, as well as prison reform.

Also, Kamala comes across as the same kind of ball-busting harpy that a lot of black guys do not like.

Also, charter schools. That's a huge thing with parents, moms especially, in rough neighborhoods.

I was on reddit and the people there are absolutely convinced Biden is
so far ahead that he will win in a landslide. They fully expect him to
have Trump arrested and tried for treason. I'm not sure what planet they
are living on, but there is no way any of them will accept Trump
winning. This is going to be worse than Hillary losing.

Reddit is a sewer, of course, but it's also a deliberately crafted echo chamber. I left Reddit over a year ago, back when it became obvious what they were doing to r/T_D, and even then it was ridiculous. It was getting to the point where woke politics were infecting even the non-political subs. I was banned from a model railroad sub which forbade any political posts. Why was I banned? For reporting a political post to the mods. Some Bernie Bro decided that a MRR scenery sub was the best place to evangelize for Bernie, and the mods threw me out for noticing. I've heard countless stories from people in other subs, particularly sports, along the same lines. It's funny, because if you go back 8 or 10 years, Reddit was a pretty free-wheeling and open society.


Reddit is now owned by China, and Spez mandates their water be carried in every single sub.

Jones was young and easily dismissed by the Duranty crowd who were real journalists not young upstarts. Sounds familiar. And fewer outlets for real news to get out, although I think The Guardian did run several of Jones' columns after editing.

As I understand it (and I am not anywhere close to being a lawyer) a majority opinion can be cited in lower court cases, but a tie vote cannot. Nor does a tie vote hamper future reexamination of the issue by the Supreme Court.

I agree, the "civil contract" is dead, and that has a bearing on whether or not this case is reheard quickly. In all past years, it would have been outrageous for a brand new justice to immediately go against the Chief Justice. It's possible for the case to be reheard; but to do so, ACB and the 4 other conservatives are going to have to tell Roberts "go fuck yourself, you don't run this place anymore."

But I also doubt a "shock" will suffice.

Just as with the amazing quality of food in Italy - it's the average being so high, not the heights of gourmet cooking, that is the story.

So with the civil culture. It's not the bizarre and extreme, alien mentality of almost the entire Dem party, or tech executives, or "elite" govt. employees. It's the mindset and behavior of the masses, that accept this.

We're about to see. There might be some backlash next week. If not - longer term trajectory not promising.

788 Miklos, I hope/assume they left some of the bullet holes?

As they have in Prague, monuments to Nazi barbarism.

There's a bank in Lahad Datu, northern Borneo (Malaysian state of Sabah) that had bullet holes in the front from a pirate take-over of the town in 1976, when I passed through in the early 90s. But that was just "whatever, dude", I think.

And in St Petersburg (I've asked and been told, haven't been back since Brezhnev era) they still paint the advisories on some buildings along Nevsky Prospyekt "This side safer during bombardment". Which is more in the "remember this" category.

In Budapest, in the winter there are signs warning people about the possibility of falling snow/ice from the roofs of buildings.

But Hungarians have not won a battle, much less a war, in centuries, so being bombarded seems kinda pointless, and to be avoided. If possible.

792 The old walls around Vatican city still have a remarkable number of pockmarked holes that look suspiciously like impacts. Probably from their seemingly never ending conflicts.

Some speculate that Kennedy got spooked, when Kopechne and he were spotted by a cop car slowly rolling by where they were parked. In this telling of the tale, he ran off and hid in the woods or whatever. Kopechne tried to drive the car back to the party, but was was unfamiliar with the area and the cutoff and the rest, as they say, is history.

So the word had been that the biggest bomb was going to be dropped Tuesday. Biden's next scheduled appearance is Tuesday. So *if* the campaign lid rumor pans out, maybe this is a negotiated surrender-Trump doesn't drop the bomb, Biden goes peacefully into hospice, Hunter goes into rehab and the legal issues get forgotten, and everybody gets a week to acclimate to Trump's reelection before the election, to take the wind out of the festivities we otherwise expect?

Parshall and Tully, Shattered Sword, set the standard for modern WWII books.
Posted by: anon

I found it odd that Toll needed to go back to 1905.

But never discussed or explained the decisions that made Pearl Harbor even possible.

Why talk about the Naval College culture of 1905, and not mention ADM Richardson, who accurately predicted what the Japanese were likely to, and capable of, doing.

There is one more book to be written.

861 Yes, it is. I popped into the Yahoo group to say that Yahoo groups were going away and all of a sudden, everybody was thanking me for volunteering to move to groups.io. I still don't know what happened.

Maetenloch sent me the list of old subscribers and I invited them all to the new thing. It seems to be working so far.

I've been considering asking someone with the keys to the blog to put up something letting people know that there is such a thing, but I'm not 100% sure I'm ready to take it to the next level.

If you weren't on the Yahoo group, write to me (my nick at the g mail service) and I'll send you an invite or tell you how to join the group.

Well, write the book about 1940-1941, and save me the time and effort.

It will always be speculative. Frank R's own son wrote a very detailed biography, which gives no insight into FDR's thinking.

866 We do know that Japan's military decision-making process was incredibly dis-functional, leading them into a war they didn't even want, and that FDR wanted to get into the war in Europe. He could have contrived an excuse to go to war that was much less costly, if that was his intent.

I've noticed on the SloeJoe commercials that in about half of the vignettes showing him walking and doing and talking to people, he isn't wearing a mask. And it doesn't seem as if it's cool weather. I wonder, were these from last year?

947 Lousy weather coming in for the next couple of days, cold and rain, so The Knee decided to hold reveille. Have a banana and a handful of pills, settle in for the first cup of coffee, and turn on the news. First thing on the screen is that greaseball muppet Fauci staring at me. I think I'm going to watch Justified episodes on Hulu all day and listen to the rain.

And I spent some time laughing like a child with a friend's 2 year old and 3 year old sons. The 3 month old isn't laughing yet and Mom is the epitome of 'tuckered out', but giggling with kids is solid gold. If she could sell how that feels she'd be a very rich lady!

1042 we had the same thing with the horses; one horse
moved right out of the way but the other stood right there on the drive,
striking poses serving looks



after a couple of minutes, he decided that we were adequately impressed he moved off the drive

If that was George, he was pining for Jim.

From the article....
A small group of women in red cloaks and silence what the scene at the Michigan State Capitol Sunday afternoon.

There's a picture of 4 women. Socially distanced. I don't 4 is a group even if you're talking about sexy times.

1047 And good morning, all.

True. I see people driving alone with masks, jogging with masks, out walking at 6AM with masks. People in blue states love the masks and are planning clever masky holiday gifts.

1049 Obama has confused the meaning of the word "earn" with "grift". Harvard my ass.

1050 I've notice a real step up by the MSM playing glorifying adverts for their newscasters and morning show hosts...one for NBC of Norah McDonald plays non-f-ing stop - they all seem to be done in a "I'm running for office" campaign style, with each news person being cast as being down with the everyday people, you know, the ones they haven't got a clue about or talk to in real life.

They're approval ratings must be real shit for them to be on this cringe worthy rehabilitation tour just before the election.

1051 Rumors have been flying for the last 12 hours about the location and condition of Hunter Biden; also watch for an 8:00 AM release of what is billed as "something very big and shocking" by Gateway Pundit. We'll see what drops.

Events are moving very quickly now.
