The Quotes of The Day

Quote I

“Especially in these times, Americans depend on the reliability and integrity of those that deliver the U.S. Mail,” “Conduct by Postal employees that violates that duty will result in swift federal prosecution.”United States Attorney Russell Coleman


Quote II

"Since freedom impelled and independence inspired and nationality exalted, a world super-government is contrary to everything we cherish and can have no sanction by our Republic. This is not selfishness, it is sanctity." Warren Gamaliel Harding (1865 - 1923), 29th President of the United States, March 4, 1921 (H/T Isophorone Blog)


Quote III

“Oslo is experiencing a bicycle boom. We want to give cyclists an opportunity to continue with the good trend into the winter.” Director Heidi Sørensen at the country’s Climate Agency


Quote IV

"What we really want is first an order allowing him to park, which we've got so far. And just a declaration that this violates First Amendment rights so that this school knows it and so that other schools know it,” Jacob Huebert, Attorney at Law.


Quote V

“Protect your health but don’t let the Court and the deliberately crippled Postal Service deprive you of your most precious civil right. Plan your vote,” Former AG Eric Holder


Quote VI

I know her personally and she is not a good person. I know that sounds like a spiteful mother-in-law but I speak on behalf of my son's three other children that they do not see." Patricia Heiman

What a sad and pathetic existence. Everything is racist. Every G.D. thing under the sun, including beer.

David L. Brunsma, a professor in Virginia Tech’s department of sociology, claimed that both beer and the phrase “ the American people” are racist in a recent book and tweet, respectively.

The book, co-authored by Burnsma and titled Beer and Racism: How Beer Became White, Why It Matters, and the Movements to Change It, claims to provide a “critical and interdisciplinary path to examine and understand the racial dynamics in the craft beer industry and the popular consumption of beer” according to its description.

"From the racist marketing of malt liquor to the bearded-white-dude culture of craft beer, readers will never look at a frothy pint the same after reading Beer and Racism." Tweet This
The book claims that beer in the United States has “always been bound up with race, racism, and the construction of white institutions and identities” and that American attitudes towards beer have led to “intersectional inequalities.”

“Brewing up Race," “The Making of the (White) Craft Beer Industry”, “Gentrification and the Making of Craft Beer” and “#WeAreCraftBeer: Contemporary Movements to Change the Whiteness of Craft Beer” are among chapters contained in the work.

In a tweet intended to promote his book, Brunsma included hashtags like “#blackpeoplelovebeer,” “#brownpeoplelovebeer,” and “#beerandracism."

The State of New York loses another business. Buh-bye says Kimber, Mfg.

Kimber Mfg., is pleased to name Troy, Alabama, as its official corporate headquarters and to announce it is hiring aggressively in all departments. After a carefully planned shift of leadership, R&D and manufacturing resources, Kimber has made substantial progress in the transition to its new, state-of-the-art headquarters in Troy, Alabama.

The final step in completing this new facility is adding staff across all departments. Kimber’s new headquarters is situated on 80+ acres with more than 225,000 square-feet of space and is now home to industry-leading design engineering, product management and manufacturing capabilities.

Me, anti-social, how could that be? Just because I don't subscribe to wearing a mask.

Scientists in Brazil have linked resistance to Covid-19 safety measures, such as wearing a mask, with antisocial personality traits.

Their study was the first of its kind in Latin America and surveyed over 1,500 people aged 18-73.

Using a questionnaire, the scientists sought to identify the participants’ affective resonance - their impulse to act on feelings stirred by another person - and asked a series of personality questions about how well certain statements represented their behaviour on a scale.

The survey also asked about compliance with Covid-19 containment measures over time, such as mask wearing.

When profiles were analysed, two were identified: an antisocial pattern profile who were resistant to Covid-19 safety measures and an empathy pattern profile who were compliant.

Risk and reward. It's been a concept present since the start of time. No one forced anyone to go to law school.

One of the harsh realities of law school that we don’t speak about quite often enough is student loans. The average law student is shouldered with six figures of debt upon graduation, and these heavy debt loads act as huge setbacks for new attorneys. Lawyers in the early stages of their careers are delaying marriages, putting off home-buying, and postponing or forgoing having children because of student loans. And, of course, law school debt is taking a horrific toll on their mental health.

According to a new report put together by the American Bar Association’s Young Lawyers Division and the AccessLex Institute, student loans are weighing heavily on the minds of recent law school graduates. More than 1,000 lawyers in their first decade of practice participated in a YLD survey meant to gauge the impact debt played in their lives, and a negative impact on mental health became a common, unprompted theme among their responses.

Here are just a few responses to the open-ended question “Which of these ways, if any, has your total student loan debt affected your life?” that the study’s authors categorize as “difficult to read”:

It turns out I hate being a lawyer but I can’t afford to do anything else. My mental health has aged me prematurely. I can’t afford to stay working in my area due to increased cost of living.

There is a right way and a wrong way to do certain things. Searching for treasure in a cemetery is wrong. Just plain wrong.

A man caught digging in the historic Fort Yellowstone Cemetery faces up to 12 years in prison and nearly $300,000 in fines. He was indicted on charges of excavating or trafficking in archeological resources and injury or depredation to United States property, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Wyoming announced last week.

Rodrick Dow Craythorn, 52, appeared before a grand jury on October 22 and pled not guilty to two counts of illegal excavation, depredation, and damage to U.S. property. According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Craythorn was claimed he was searching for Forrest Fenn’s treasure — a collection of jewels and artifacts hidden by Fenn, an art dealer, in 2010 — when people discovered him digging in the park cemetery.

No word from the typical raging United States feminists. And our lefties think we have it bad.

Australia says it has raised "grossly disturbing" reports with Qatar that women were strip-searched and examined before a flight from Doha to Sydney.

The women were checked for signs of having recently given birth after a newborn baby was found abandoned in a toilet at Hamad International Airport.

The unidentified baby has been cared for since being found on 2 October.

The searches came to light when Australian women spoke out. Women from other countries were also examined.

All adult women on the Qatar Airways flight were required to disembark to be body-searched, two of the women told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC).

Thirteen Australian women were taken to an ambulance on the tarmac and told to remove their underwear before being examined, reports said.

Kim Mills told the Guardian she was among those taken off the flight and led into a dark car park, where three ambulances were waiting to perform medical examinations.

However, officials did not subject her to the examination due, she suspected, to her being in her 60s. Even so, she said, the experience was horrifying.

"My legs were just wobbling. I was terrified they were going to take me away somewhere. Why didn't they explain to us what was going on?" she said, adding that airplane staff later told her they didn't know what was happening.

It is 2020 so nothing surprises me anymore. Truth is stranger than fiction when it comes to Murder Hornets.

Heavily protected crews worked in Washington state on Saturday to destroy the first nest of so-called murder hornets discovered in the United States.


The state agriculture department spent weeks searching, trapping and using dental floss to tie tracking devices to Asian giant hornets, which can deliver painful stings to people and spit venom but are the biggest threat to honeybees farmers depend on to pollinate crops.


Quite the outfit.

Quite the breaking and entry duo.

According to IFL Science, a pair of young raccoons were spotted inside a branch of the Peninsula Bank when a client saw the mischievous animals while withdrawing money from the ATM outside in the early morning.

At first, the man thought the raccoons were merely a pair of stuffed animals. But he quickly realized that they were actually wild animals rummaging through the bank’s empty office.

Once news of the furry bandits reached bank officials, they called in animal rescuers from the Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA.

My guess? He isn't the Son of God but he is a Genius Award Winner.

ALTOONA, Pa. (WTAJ) — An Altoona man was charged after allegedly screaming and throwing items into the road at 5 a.m.

According to the complaint, 42-year-old Martin Miller was outside of his apartment on the 500 block of 12th Street in Altoona on Wednesday, October 14, when police arrived and observed two mailboxes laying in the street and a handle of vodka behind him.

Police spoke with the woman who called the police after Miller woke her up by screaming from the street that “skies are opening” and that he was the “son of God.” She reportedly told officers that right before their arrival, he was throwing things into the street and screaming “Beam me up Scotty!” and “here piggy piggy.”

Meant to post this link two weeks ago, but forgot. From back when I did videos, one of my most-watched and most-embedded videos, also one of my best, which I can brag, because I only mashed up a bunch of other folks' great stuff, includng links, and inspiration, from AoSHQ. Stay for the post-credits bits.

In this vital election year, might be good to look back and remember what we had to put up with. Remember when Obama locked up the Lincoln Memorial? The Trump Wave foreshadowed.

16 Ask yourself - what would the media be saying about the upcoming election result if the Chinese were in control of our media?

Posted by: ... at October 27, 2020 10:02 PM (Et4xj)

17 something I wrote this morning, that will be relevant from now until this is over:

Do we know what the result will be? Of course we can't know, my wife and I were discussing that last night. The future is never a certainty until it's past. Eisenhower was nervous as hell the night before D-Day, he had his speech written in case it had failed. In all great conflicts it will look to the person in the middle of it like you might be losing, right up until the moment you win. This is what all truly Great battles are like. The night before every battle, every soldier wonders is this is the one where he'll meet the bullet with his name on it, he wouldn't be human if the thought didn't cross his mind.

But the answer is not to cower in fear, but to acknowledge the risk, acknowledge the uncertainty, and then head out into battle with a confidence based on Faith, Hope, and Courage. Those are the virtues that carry one through times like this, more than any other. That's why they're so important.

55 Because I love this story:

Went to a speech once by Jim Lovell and he talked about meeting Tom Hanks and flying with him as Hanks was about to make Apollo 13.

Lovell asked that those in the audience who knew the ending of the story not spoil it for the others in the crowd.

He also got a round of laughs when he talked about Hanks describing his just finished film Forest Gump and Lovell suddenly was briefly a little worried how Hanks would play him in the Apollo 13, as in like Forrest in space.

For those who haven't read the book (Don't bother), Forrest does actually go to space in it.

"...a world super-government is contrary to everything we cherish and can have no sanction by our Republic. This is not selfishness, it is sanctity." Warren Gamaliel Harding

Nothing wrong with world government. Theoretically.

The model of the history of these American States has shown that sovereign governments can unite as one state, and new states may be continuously incorporated. In theory, by this model, a United World is entirely possible.... in about five thousand years, maybe. After all humankind has a common moral culture, universal patriotic education, respect for the forms of a Constitutional Republic, and an informed electorate. You know, just like we have here in the USA today!

Or Christ returns, whatever comes first.

66 What the MSM and the polling industry are doing with the numbers - I recognize it, this has been what's happened in the Global Warming fight over the last 20 years. At first, the left was all about Proving their Data, using Science to show why they were absolutely Correct. But it didn't work, and their science didn't hold up, and person after person was able to poke all kinds of holes in it.

So what did the left do? They put incredible pressure on Universities to fire anyone who "questioned the narrative", they quit trying to "prove" anything at all, they announced that anyone who questioned them was a "Denier" who had to be shunned by all Right Thinking (and Employed) People. They lost the argument, so they stuck their fingers in their ears and chanted LA LA LA LA while they used their institutional power to control the battlefield.

That's what they mean when they say "The science is settled". And they're doing the exact same thing with the polls tonight. I think they honestly believe that if they Chant that something is True long and enough and loud enough, that somehow it will become true.

it won't.

Thank you.

I should note that the National Weather Service (NWS) says it will be a normal winter for temperature and precipitation. Which has a wide range in Kansas at the best of times. We have already had snow, and ice on the roads.

Solar activity is low, with the new solar cycle just starting from the baseline. And the peak of this cycle is predicted be the third solar cycle in a row to have a lower peak than the previous cycle's high.

NWS = the lying liars that lie.

I know several young lawyers in that position. It's hard to get accurate stats, but I've seen some that say more than half of all graduates with a J.D. Degree are not working as lawyers 5 years after their graduation.

but they're still stuck with $250,000 worth of debt for a degree they're not using.

Law schools are some of the greatest ripoff factories in the country. A few make it big, a few more find a nice living. A lot get scammed out of everything they don't own.

What it sounds like is that your version of Firefox is bollixed up--it is possible an update did not correctly install, malicious code from a malware cite messed it up, etc.

You need to delete Firefox totally and reinstall as a first step.

Bingo - I don't know about other states, but here in Texas, if someone wants to be a Prosecutor, an Asst DA position starts at $37,500 per year - less than a schoolteacher. They're supposed to work for near that for about 10 years,and then be lucky enough to get elected to something themselves, or more likely, jump over to being a much better paid defense lawyer who now knows all the judges and can cut deals.

In practice, that works when the person in question is the son of a big local lawyer and he has a million dollar trust fund, so his pay doesn't really matter, the real point is to keep the Family Firm on top. Eventually, if they do very well, they end up as a Judge.

Many years ago, in the days of the horse and buggy, I planned to go to law school. I had already taken the LSAT.

About 2:30, at 160*, I wrapped it in butcher paper then foil (Meathead calls this temp "the stall), continued till about 9:15. Came off the smoker tender & juicy. It will be a tasty week at work!

It'll be at a certain motorsports dealer on Friday, where it will be palletized, wrapped and crated.

Common Carrier to effect pickup at some variable time within 10 days thereafter, whereupon it will be shipped to MY local motorsports dealer, forklifted out of the trailer, de-crated and rolled off it it's pallet.

So, the timing is a bit loose on it all, but I'm getting good deals on every point of contact in the process, and that's of greater value to me than "hurry it up" pricing.

What's a hic-cup in the timing, mostly, is the dealer up yonder is closed on Tuesday and Wednesday. That makes for awkward timing of transmitting contracts and such.

"...a world super-government is contrary to everything we cherish and can have no sanction by our Republic. This is not selfishness, it is sanctity." Warren Gamaliel Harding

Nothing wrong with world government. Theoretically.

The model of the history of these American States has shown that sovereign governments can unite as one state, and new states may be continuously incorporated. In theory, by this model, a United World is entirely possible.... in about five thousand years, maybe. After all humankind has a common moral culture, universal patriotic education, respect for the forms of a Constitutional Republic, and an informed electorate. You know, just like we have here in the USA today!

172 I think Harding was arguing against Wilson's League of Nations. One of the sticking points was that the League would have as base the requirement that nations participate in wars, and provide monetary support and arms to sanctioned parties in conflict.

These requirements of the charter was an attack on Congress' ability and responsibility to declare war and ratify treaties, and was a power grab by Wilson.

Did someone say there was an RPG with Marines landing troops in Paraguay by Zeppelin for the Grand Chaco war? I think that would have happened at some level had the US entered into the League.

(As it was, the greatest killers was the Bolivian reliance on mass charges against fortification and thirst)

I have made it a point to NOT buy new firearms made in states (or HQ'ed therein) that are hostile to gun ownership. Places like NY, CT, MD, NJ, etc.

Why? Corp taxes are passed on to the buyer and I really don't want to feed those, even though they are more than 1 miles away from my home.

So, I have been mostly buying used for a couple of decades now.

I have dated two lawyers in my lifetime. Both were incredibly intelligent, incredibly capable and incredibly driven women.

Mine have usually been very good. I had a dead skunk in my front yard once, and the mailman helped me get it into a garbage bag, so I could dispose of it.

At my previous home, the mailboxes were on the front of the houses near the front door. In the winter, they were always good about delivering. I would shovel the walkway before I went to work, but it sometimes snowed all morning. They still delivered even though they don't have to if your walkway isn't cleared. Maybe I've been lucky.

223 In my little village of a thousand, we have about 500 homes that belong to NYC weekender folks

and from other locals . Even George Bush jr has a house here

And the town charges a personal property tax to these non-residents, like furnishings and such

and I suspect other towns in the Berkshire do also

do towns in other states charge this tax ?

239 Interesting the talk about "food deserts", locally the newspaper ran a story about a new grocery store. The guy opening it has received well over $500k in tax breaks and grants, and it was supposed to open 2 years ago. A billboard at the site claims "The Fight Was Real!"; construction just started. It is being touted as so much more than a grocery store, a "community center" and the rest of it. And they claim, they want to hire ex-felons to work there, or something along those lines. Check all the BS blocks on this one, I guess.

For my part it seems to me that if someone can make money putting a retail establishment somewhere, they will do it. It has nothing to do with race, the only color they care about is green.

Given the rampant pilferage and theft at some lawless places - SF Cal is rife with this now, having effectively decriminalized theft under $1k - if this guy doesn't have a handle on it, it will go belly up very quickly.

And somehow, this will be cast as Whitey's Fault. I mean, it's already Whitey's Fault there ain't one there already. So I truly wish the guy well, but .. too many false assumptions to begin with, so it is unlikely.

240 "the scientists sought to identify the participants' affective resonance"

Well, let's look at three stinking piles of pure bullshit from three authoritative sources:

1) Affective resonance is a type of relational dynamics of affecting and being affected, characterized as a process of reciprocal modulation between interactants. Resonance is a relational and processual phenomenon, it may neither be described as a singular affective "state" nor as a one-sided transmission of affect, such as in contagion.

2) The concept of affective resonance makes visible that the interaction dynamic itself creates an affective experience rather than transmitting internal feeling states between pre-existent individuals.

3) Affective resonance refers to processes of social interaction whose progression is dynamically shaped in an entanglement of moving and being-moved, affecting and being-affected.

I've seen the 125 lb. lasses put 'em back upright, but it's a technique and fitness thing, combined.

Hogmartin found me a rather pristine, 1984 GL-1200 STANDARD. '84 was the last year any 'Wing was available sans fairing, saddlebags & trunk, and this is one such.

Got a nice price on it, the shipping is reasonable, it'll just be my "Island Bike", vs. over the road touring.

Bonus? It's worth a fair bit more than the combined purchase and shipping. So, it's all good.

303 Scientists in Brazil have linked resistance to Covid-19 safety measures, such as wearing a mask, with antisocial personality traits.

So they are actually doing it. They are creating a social scoring system right before our very eyes.

Let me guess, the obnoxious Mask Karens rank high on the positive social personality traits.

When you get to make up definitions, you can insult anybody and praise even the most depraved psychopaths.

Lets be clear here. The whole issue of the health effectiveness has been litigated to death. It has nothing to do with health, it has everything to do with keeping the FUD at peak levels.

The real goal has been to crash the economy, have government declare by fiat what lives are worthy of life, careers and social roles that are acceptable and not acceptable, and reward blind serf-like obedience to those who dish out social scores.

When W started all of these wars in the Middle East, the Enemedia made sure that there was endless coverage of the death and misery that accompanies endless police actions war. Vigils were perpetually held outside W's Crawford Texas compound, and news weasels breathlessly reminded us how horrible W and his wars are.

Then came The Messiah, who actually ignited quite a few more wars, watching our Ambassador get murdered and huge shipments of weapons and pallets of cash to terrorist States. And we heard nothing. And America forgot what was going on over there.

The Veil acts in a manner that signals blind obedience, while a reminder that the endless atrocities that our government is doing to our own citizens is because of some virus, and we will all die unless we follow the science studiously obey unelected and unaccomplished bureaucrats and policy makers.

If We The People were not compelled to wear The Veil, then most people would openly question why our churches, gyms, arenas, parks and stadiums are being attacked. Wearing the Veil reminds people that we are in mortal danger and only the heroic government will save us from our sin and certain death.

So The Mask of the Beast is a critical component in the psychological operation that is being played on us while they systematically destroy the West economically, culturally and spiritually so that China can easily become the world's hegemony.

So the Mask is a sign of unrestrained wickedness and evil.

Might as well tattoo a pentagram on the forehead.

Posted by: Gaelic Girl at October 27, 2020 10:39 PM (5FCda)


Yeah, I am guessing a small one. One horse and a cow. Small corral, too. My Mom's barn (dating from 1830 or so) is bigger, but 4 or 5 stalls for milking cows. Owner at some point built a small milkhouse with 2 stalls.

She is in her 80's, and I am NOT looking forward to emptying her house and barn. Baby Sis and I have been trying to get her to sell and move, just to get that part out of the way.

MRS IMG's parent's house next door took us Feb-Sep to empty (pole barn out back, too). We just closed on selling it yesterday (YAY!!!).

Hi EverR - I am surrounded by law firm idiots, my best friend and my wife, so I agree about the number of lawyers, their is a glut...to make money it really depends on where your girl went for Law School and what practice she was interested in. Michigan, Stanford or Ivy Law, top of class and wrote for the Law Journal? Welcome to internship at a top ten law firm...everyone else, struggle...unless you're interested in white collar crime firms and get into a DA or FBI unit, but then experience counts and that takes years.

Best degree going? Accounting. Take a second degree in finance or economics. Depression or Boom times, you are still needed...helps to know someone though.

331 Portland Police Say Protesters Ruined Their Boots With Paint-Filled Balloons. They Want the City to Pay for New Ones.
The city manager's office says it is unusual for city employees to file legal claims for clothing damaged on the job.

At least 14 Portland police officers have filed tort claim notices against the city since July 1 to replace work boots that they say were damaged by protesters who threw paint-filled (and feces-filled) balloons and water bottles at them during demonstrations. The boots for which officers are seeking reimbursement range from $145 to $370 a pair. All told, the officers are asking the city to pay over $2,700 for new boots.

There was a lawyer in my county who had a crack habit that must have become obvious, because a couple of the judges barred him from their courtrooms. His law practice had to send someone else for his cases. Could be the case with your zoom lawyer of the bulging eyes. If they do criminal cases, they have clients who are drug dealers, so they have access to drugs.

Simplistically I think the Congress will never declare another "war" because it puts them on the record and confers responsibility for
a) not being able to define a successful conclusion/end-state (like unconditional surrender),
b) requires them to be serious about the use of weapons in gray areas, like bombing a building (school) which is clearly being used as and armory or training ground,
c) forces them to admit that they are more than willing to sacrifice US citizen/soldiers for a nebulous ill defined goal of some farce like nation building in an area that has never been civilized since the dawn of time itself!

381 339, The issue is during WWI and WWII, plus the Cold War, they built in so much power to the executive branch during a war, that it would more or less make a president an elected dictator.

Thus, Congress prefers the resolution to support military action and the Court has went along with it.

My friend, an only child, is having a difficult time. Her father is in the hospital, dying of COPD/emphysema/lung issues; her mother is undergoing chemo for breast cancer. Hospital visiting rules only allow for one of them to visit him at a time, and the visiting hours have been greatly reduced due to the COVID-1984 Dempanic.

The lockdown/mask 'cure' is so much worse than the disease and will have serious repercussions for society as a whole for years to come.

It's been an eye-opener, to say the least, as to how easy it is for mostly Democrat politicians to destroy the lives and livelihoods of law-abiding people. And what's more scary to me is how meekly acquiescent to that destruction most people have been.

500 The weirdest situation I've seen regarding how we as a society view a disease was cystic fibrosis. Terrible disease; left untreated, the patient completely loses the ability to breathe, and dies.

When I was a little kid, I remember all sorts of charities devoted to fighting it, and putting the word out constantly in commercials and paid spots on various TV shows.

But then that suddenly stopped.

I now suspect that it was determined that cystic fibrosis only afflicts the Jooooos, so liberals (who tend to be the ones pushing such issues in the media, as they control said media) suddenly stopped caring about it.

546 The weirdest situation I've seen regarding how we as a society view a disease was cystic fibrosis. Terrible disease; left untreated, the patient completely loses the ability to breathe, and dies.

When I was a little kid, I remember all sorts of charities devoted to fighting it, and putting the word out constantly in commercials and paid spots on various TV shows.

But then that suddenly stopped.

I now suspect that it was determined that cystic fibrosis only afflicts the Jooooos, so liberals (who tend to be the ones pushing such issues in the media, as they control said media) suddenly stopped caring about it.

Nope...Cystic fibrosis is a disease of white/northern Europeans.

Tay Sachs is a disease of jews.

Both are inherited/genetic diseases.

Until you mentioned it, I had forgotten about all the fundraising for cystic fibrosis. They used to call it "sixty-five roses", which is what a little girl afflicted with it called it, she was too little to pronounce it correctly.

It is more likely that a strong man comes into power and deals with both classes of idiots most severely.

During the dissolution of republics or when aristocracies become too dissolute, a strong man is generally the result instead of aristocracies and they tend to have their own ideas about who is in charge.

559 339 League of Nations and requirements to go to war, etc. Hm.

Interestingly enough, notice the US congress hasn't declared war since 1941, notably, prior to joining the "United Nations". And there hasn't been a lack of wars since that time.

There is probably some secret agreement or whatever, that precludes this, if I may don my tinfoil hat for a moment. In fact I'm fairly certain of it, can be inferred with certainty. This may be viewed as a good thing maybe, but that isn't the way to bet.
Posted by: Common Tater at October 27, 2020 11:00 PM (6CZio)

People do not understand, and some do not WANT to understand, what a declaration of war is.

A declaration of war is a matter of DIPLOMACY, not the military.

The ONLY thing a declaration of war accomplishes is the following:

A formal letter is given to the ambassador of said country, stating that Congress has declared war, and this is most likely done by someone from the State Department, in person.

The ambassador says "geez, I'm crushed", or some such thing, but considerably more flowery than this.

The ambassador is then told that as war has been declared, he of course is persona non grata, as are al his country's diplomats and embassy staff, and that they will be escorted to a third country ASAP to continue their onward journey home.

Their embassy is then secured in accordance with the Vienna Convention of 1961, Article 45.

That's it.

Demanding the Armed Forces be subject to the whims of 535 CinCs acting as a collective CinC is contrary to the principle of war known as "unity of command" anyway.

566 Ok, time for my impressions of the Texas MoMe. This is theory of relativity shit, relative to the observer. The BTOR (berserker theory of relativity), so get the kiddies away from the computer. lol


First off, the ride. I have been to Texas quite a bit, but traveling with my bro is always an adventure, and for those who met him you can only imagine. It was an uneventful ride for the most part, except for when we got to the twisty mountain area of Tennessee. My car has factory 19" wheels and low profile tires, and the steering is so fast that if you so much as sneeze it will change lanes. We were talking about the mask thing, aaand I'm drinking coffee. I mentioned something about it being too bad we weren't driving through S dakota, because we wouldn't see masks or need them thanks to how Kristy Noem is handling things over there. My brother nods and decides to add his input as I was taking a gulp of coffee. His bit of wisdom was "I just want to wash my face in her fucking ass". Of course the car changed lanes and I'm fighting coffee coming out my nose on a nasty curve and by a stroke of luck we didn't wreck. If he posts here you might consider covering your keyboard.



Anyway, we get to Texas and check in. I go outside the hotel for a smoke and see a really nice bronze color challenger sitting outside the door. Its creeper! A little later I see jordan61, who I met before, and her husband. Eventually Insom, jewels, ladyL, hrothgar, and a moron driver,( the nic I can't remember because I suck at names) finally gets there. (speak up man). A few words about this insom dude. This frigging guy gets out of the car, and he is all smiles. Walking tall, introducing himself like he's the frigging king of some small country. As I mentioned earlier, this bastard lied to us. I was thinking they were going to be pushing this lifeless quivering blob in a light-brite hoveround and drooling on himself like christopher pike. Nope, not even close. Whoever posts here is not who I met there.


Anyway, we eventually get to the ranch. Holy shit it was like visiting a small planet. Where I am in jersey looks somewhat similar, horse farms down the street, lakes, farms, etc, but this was off the charts. The Ponderosa is a frigging crack house compared to this spread, so tuff shit Ben Cartwright. Its an amazing place. There was amazing food texas style. the deep fried bacon was off...the..charts. Sooo much food. Sooooo much booze. You really wanted for nothing.



Now, for you that don't get off your ass and go to a MoMe, a little bit about your fellow morons and ettes. I may be an asshole metal guitar player, but I always compartmentalized that life so it don't spill into normal life (much), it keeps me grounded, and allows me to be a decent judge of people, and the people here are just amazing. All of them. If they made up a small country it would never fail or falter, because the combined brain power, and diversity of skills is off the charts. just to mention a few so this don't become as long as the dead sea scrolls, and if I embarrass any of you, tough shit. lol


Weasel could be training army snipers. He had people hitting those steel plates like they were born into it.

Jim from the sunken new dawn is a true renaissance man.

Ben Had, just can't say enough about ben had, she is the soul of that MoMe. Watching her being presented with a wicked cool rifle from the horde was a definite high point of the trip.

The hosts bob and jen are amazing people in opening up their ranch for this pack of screwballs. They were absolutely great hosts


ladyL and jordan61 I have met before, but are very classy ladies. Jordan was a great bacon wench.


Jewels definitely makes some nice jewelry, some very nice stuff.

No good deeds. She's like a frigging amazon warrior. Hobbies are shooting guns, punching commies in the face and smoking cigars. God in heaven why did you not make more of these??

Hogmartin and left coast dawg. These dudes are very much like the people I hang with in normal life. very cool dudes. Hogmartin I met before, and he is a harley dude, soooo


SMH. Ok, this is somebody you want in your foxhole. I can just see her ripping binladen's head off and beating him with it while yelling how do you like me now?? She also has a big heart, so it was pleasure meeting her.

Westminster dog show. As I said before, I..just.. frigging..adore this woman. I spent decades closing venues. My second wind kicks in at 11 to 12 midnight (showtime), so while others start fading I'm just getting started. She stayed and partied til the wee hours. If it weren't for her I would be back at the hotel way early pacing around the hotel room. She rocks.

bebe, ok finally meeting her was a bit of a guilty pleasure, and no you pervs, its not because of the legendary epic rack of doom, she is more than that. She just reminds me of women I have hung with in the past. She gets my humor.



I got to meet the dude who says first!! lol

Lin-duh. charming and bubbly and really should host her own game show. Even better that a fellow jersey boy landed her.


Creeper, she got great taste in cars and is a very nice lady.

Dave and Gingy, always a pleasure seeing them



and there is so many more, tom servo, scuba dude, alton jackson and his very nice daughter, the other ettes and on and on and on and on.


You couch potatoes need to get off your ass and do a MoMe. It don't matter which one. The horde is legion and you just can't find a better group of people. You will not be sorry.

Sadly, I don't see that ending anytime soon. Remember our schools are populated by teachers and principals who can't possibly imagine kids who don't LOVE school and don't want to go to college. (They all have degrees and for the most part all of them are convinced that because they all needed degrees to get where they are, why, everyone else must have degrees too. As a side benefit, it absolves them of the responsibility of teaching students. Why should they bother when college will do all the teaching instead?)

You know, I was giving my husband a lot of shit about watching sports. But then I put myself in his shoes. This is something he has played and watched and loved since he was a little kid. And I tried to imagine how hard it would be to give that up. So I decided if he does, he does and if he doesn't, he doesn't. I'm not going to get on his case about it anymore.

Sadly, I don't see that ending anytime soon. Remember our schools are populated by teachers and principals who can't possibly imagine kids who don't LOVE school and don't want to go to college. (They all have degrees and for the most part all of them are convinced that because they all needed degrees to get where they are, why, everyone else must have degrees too. As a side benefit, it absolves them of the responsibility of teaching students. Why should they bother when college will do all the teaching instead?)

Son, (actually, stepson) took my life experience to heart. somewhat. 2 years college, quit and enlisted. Did more college in night school, but no degree. Just stuff to give skills. Never got a degree.

By the time I met Mrs IMG (5 yrs after the Army), I was making a comfortable living.

He did not go the college route, much to Mrs IMG's dismay. He's a tradesman and has a very good career going. She happy with that now. Makes much much more than she ever did as an RN. And, he's quite happy.

I agree, it and Tay Sachs are both terrible, and I'd love to see a cure for them tomorrow.

You notice, too, that Tay Sachs has never reached that level of importance that cystic fibrosis once had? Even though it's a pretty horrible disease, too? They figured out quickly that that's a Joooo disease. So, yeah, the liberal media has never cared about it.

I got onto this train of thought by thinking about COVID-19, and how liberals say it's just so horrible to think that maybe we just need to live with it as a society, like we used to live with polio and tuberculosis.

All the gear is gone, packed away with other sentimental things that will never again see the light of day. The only remaining indications of the existence of baseball in my home are a baseball I got autographed by Bill Mazeroski, a Hiroshima Carp hat, and a DVD of Game 7 of the 1960 World Series.

648 It would put congress on the hook for aiding and abetting the Enemy, is what a Declaration of War, that's what it would do. And that's what leftists in the US congress do, if history is any guide. Believe me, I'm not in favor of overseas adventures, "nation building" or starting wars in foreign countries for reasons nobody can articulate, much less find on a map.

I'm no fan of war by a long shot. But I am no isolationist either, nor do I want America turned into a whiny, toothless country.

I agree we have stayed in Afghanistan way too long, and that the intervention in Libya was stupid, as was intervention in the Balkans, among other things. But I'm not about to ignore the Outside World, so long as the enemy gets a vote (they do), and whiny isolationism has bit us in the ass way too many times for my taste.

A Declaration of War does absolutely nothing but what I described above. If you don't believe me, you are cordially invited to peruse the Foreign Relations of the United States. And it puts Congress on the hook for...nothing. (Well, people CAN vote them out of office...)

People are at some point going to have to take responsibility for the Congresscritters they elect and keep re-electing. And then throw them out if necessary, as they can do as voters.

I think the courts have pretty much ruled that any "authorization of military force" by Congress is the legal equivalent of Congress declaring war. But all the ramifications of that haven't been tested, as they say.

The War Powers Act and the President initiating hostilities beyond the limits set forth therein has also not really been tested. And I'm sure the courts don't want to really have to decide on it.

Just about the only thing I'd bitch at the cops about at that point is not spending enough time at the range, and that it showed. (Assuming a lot of rounds were expended on that joker, which may or may not have been, I don't know.)

You are right; the courts seriously don't want to get involved in this. Besides, no one argues (not even me) that Congress doesn't have oversight authority into the military and how it is used.

My ONLY point is that a declaration of war simply is not what people think it is. It is a tool of diplomacy, not of military use.

(IIRC, around 1980 or so there was an idea kicked around that Congress should declare war on Iran, not to initiate hostilities, but rather to force Iran into the diplomatic protocols that accompany a declaration of war, and thus force them to free the hostages. That Iran was using the Vienna Convention of 1961 as toilet paper already at that point was probably not discussed much by those who thought of that idea.)

712 Had a good shop day today. Weather warmed up above freezing, and it was mostly sunny, so things got quite warm for a while. Snow nearly all gone, so I picked up some scrap metal strewn around the yard from recent adventures, and threw it all on the truck box dedicated for that.

Continuing to pick up loose ends, I got my D/A sander, strung out an air line, and got busy on the dent repair on the roof of the Flxible coach. Sanded down the last coat of filler, and determined it needed more. And there was a ridge in the aluminum, too. Went to hammer that down. Big mistake. The previously-applied filler cracked and chipped, so I had to pry out a big divot.

Since the Sun had warmed the metal, I slapped on another coat, and it set up fine, and I was able to sand it down. Then I applied a finish coat, and sanded that down, and shot a coat of high-build primer. Not perfect, but much better than the failed patch that used to be there, with filler all spalling off.

Then I put a mat down, and got under the back end, and used cable clamps to secure the harness from the trailer connector socket back up to the terminal board in the engine compartment, and then got inside the compartment and hooked the wires up. Also installed a new pressure hose from the air compressor to the tank.

Then I reconnected the battery cable. No sparks! Good, maybe I can start this thing. Gave it a tiny whiff of ether in the port provided for the giving of tiny whiffs of ether, and put the cap back on it. Went up front to the terminal board there, and connected "battery" to "engine run" with a clip lead. Small spark, as there should be, since I was energizing the fuel solenoid. Ran another clip lead from "battery" to "engine crank" (I labeled all the wires.), and nada. Now I know what one of the other wires was that I severed when I was doing the air line work on the underside.

We've lived with worse than Wuhan forever. It's horrible that people are dying from it. I am not making light of anyone who gets sick, or suffers. Or their friends and loved ones.

But very few people are wealthy enough to lock themselves in their basement (like Chy-na Joe) and have the world deliver their life supporting goods to their porch, untouched by human hands.

As time goes on, I'm seeing MORE people, not fewer, wearing masks outside, or while driving alone in their cars. The restrictions are crushing lives as surely as any virus.

Therefore be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the state of war between the United States and the Imperial Government of Japan which has thus been thrust upon the United States is hereby formally declared; and the President is hereby authorized and directed to employ the entire naval and military forces of the United States and the resources of the Government to carry on war against the Imperial Government of Japan; and, to bring the conflict to a successful termination, all the resources of the country are hereby pledged by the Congress of the United States.

740 Fun fact:

One of the things that angered Paul McCartney about Spector's recording of Let It Be, is that he used what Paul considers a poor-quality demo of him singing as the vocal track.

From what I understand, McCartney claims he had an almost-finished version that he liked much better in the can already, but never knew of Spector's editions of numerous recordings until the Let It Be album was already being shipped to thousands of stores.

The story is also that Paul finally agreed to help dissolve the Beatles as a legal entity, when he heard what Spector did to The Long And Winding Road.

I think CV19 is a tar baby that Trump doesn't want to touch right now. If he changes course on it now, the enemy will accuse him of flip-flopping.

Once he wins re-election, I expect for him to acknowledge the fact that it is here to stay, and that it is not necessarily a death sentence, nor even a huge personal setback, and point to himself as Exhibit A. Pivot from trying, vainly, to prevent everyone from catching it, to developing treatment protocols to ensure that as few people as possible who do get it, suffer serious harm therefrom.

791 ..There's a reason for using long tie rods; it reduces "bump steer", which occurs when suspension travel over a bump or dip causes the wheel to deflect to one side because the radius of control arm movement differs from that of the tie rod.

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at October 28, 2020 01:16 AM (PbH9O)



I get that, and the Automotive Engineers do, as well.

But it still kind of precludes the +2 ft. tie rods of the "J" body GM compacts.

There is "long" tie rods. And then there is sloppy, imprecise handling settling in after the bushings have aged their first 5,000 miles.

Doubt you'll see much longer than about a 14" tie-rod on most modern production sedans or sedan-based coupes.

Stuff like a Corvette? Who the hell knows? Exotics do what exotics DO!

Scroll back up to my original response on that, and you'll see that's exactly what I'd described.

My "center point" comment was a reply to your subsequent comment, and didn't apply to the Cimarron or other GM "J" body, at all.

I do recall the Center Point control arm arrangement. But draw a complete blank as to WHICH car sported the damned thing.

799 Miklos I think the machine was more than Harry, and it's still there and important. I just think it's possible that Trump's particular traction with the demos involved (much like Reagan getting so much rank/file union Dem support when he ran), and the situation (C19 devastating travel and hospitality, and the NV governor being sort of a Whitmer-like buffoon who has piled on and also conspicuously demo'd his bad faith/elite exception status), might just be enough to close the small gap from last time.

Plus, as with other states, I expect the Trump vote in more reliable demos and geographies to be "monster" this time, more than last time.

An incumbent with a record level of support in his own party, and major cross-over and infrequent/new voter traction, will produce big numbers.

You're right. I thought the Cimarron was the older X platform.

Funny thing, though. Even some of the worst models wind up becoming sought-after donors for certain parts for the hotrod crowd.

There's an entire industry based upon putting "Mustang II" front suspensions under street rods. And what was the genesis of the Mustang II? The lowly Pinto.

The Mustang II suspension is mediocre, as far as handling goes. But it is extremely adaptable.

836 Miklos, exactly (about Vegas/NV).

Beserker, lol.

a.moron - I'm gonna use up the last of an 8-lb jug of 4064. I am satisfied with it. I doubt it's much different than 4895 (the direct descendant of the propellant formula used by the arsenals in WWII, and thus the "correct" powder). I started with it based on extensive online research, and some correspondence with some long-time Garand reloaders at the CMP forum.

I am actually switching to TAC after the 4064 is gone. Only because it's a ball powder (pretty fine), not stick, and in one trial run yielded very consistent powder drops, much more so than the 4064. I use a Lee Auto-Drum powder measure.

The 4064 variation in throws is acceptable, this is just range-fodder M1 ammo, nothing special, but I like the near perfect consistency I get with TAC. The test loads also performed very well.

Just checked last night, the panic has finally hit the powder side - no TAC to be had, 4064 running about a 25% premium on price. I can wait. If there's a Martian invasion before the panic subsides, I have a 500-round can of Prvi M1 ammo as a reserve.

Well I used to shoot a lot. Indoor a few times a week with pistols, and outdoor on the weekends with rifles. I used to love it. I reloaded a bunch of calibers. Turret presses for handguns, single presses for rifle. I had the tumblers, scales, case cutters, primer pocket reamers, you name it. jersey changes the laws really bad and I just got out of it completely. I put that part of my life behind me and never looked back. Haven't shot a gun in probably 25- 30 years. Well, I shot 5 rounds out of a handgun in texas, that was the first time in forever.

This is absolute complete fucking nonsense, and you should know better than this, you're smarter than that.

I'd remind you we had eight ( years of the JEF and all the Unpleasantness that entails, in no small part because of ill advised overseas adventures by his predecessor, to say nothing of a lot of good kids killed and wounded.

Or maybe two, with an interpreter, each?

I'm not even sure there would be a run on anything. Its pretty red outside of the cities, and I don't think anybody really gave anything up. Some of us did, but I think there was massive non compliance. They didn't do anything about it for good reasons. The outdoor ranges at that time were filled..

864 So that bobolinski guy is a real whistleblower.

It seems he was not too clever and knew nothing about China, but he was smart to be wary of the Bidens.

It also appears that he figured out they were screwing him over and still only decided to flip when Schiff called him a Russian agent. I can see that reasoning, but that doesn't make him a hero.

I would not have gotten anywhere near a deal where the CCP was buying the bidens. He did. He only flipped when he realized they were going to throw him under the bus.

anyway, let's see if any of this sticks to the wall.

It was Schiff calling it Russian disinformation and thus him a Russian agent that pissed him off. He called the Biden minion, the name I forget, and told him to retract that or he would go public with everything.

Seems to me he was hired to structure a deal. He recognized it was sketchy as hell, and he pointed that out. They said 'FukIt, YOLO' and he was like...OK then.

Then they screwed him and he was like, 'I'm out and I am covering my ass fully'.

Then they smeared him when Hunter's laptop became a story. And he asked for nothing more than a retraction.

Then he blew the whistle.

873 Speaking of St Petersburg, gotta get back there, just for the before/after experience of Soviet/post-Soviet.

And outside Moscow there's a new cathedral, dedicated to Russian military heroism over the ages, and a new military museum (apparently they have borrowed some of the ideas from places like the USMC Museum, with temperature and other sensory elements to certain displays).

Read an account from a Brit journalist, which was reasonable, but seemed amusingly alarmed that a swastika was in one of the WWII tile artworks in the cathedral. He had a photo - it was just a depiction of the June 24, 1945 victory parade in Red Square, where Red Army soldiers carried and dumped captured German banners and unit symbols in front of the leadership atop Lenin's Tomb.

Which reminds me - I think the church in St Mere Eglise has a stained-glassed window of a US paratrooper (no, not Red Buttons).

Thank you for that response.

It's not so much conversation, it's the physical aspect of touching him, of holding his hand, etc. On top of all that, the hospital is trying to throw him out into a nursing home which has even more visitation restrictions because "there's nothing the hospital can do". And to put the icing on the cake, my friend visited a funeral home Monday. Between $12 and $15K for a funeral, including the funeral dinner (the first time I've heard of that one). She doesn't need to hear she can't visit her Dad for as long as she can (because she's still working [granted from home, but still]). She's running herself into the ground and she's a been breast cancer free for 18 years. I told her yesterday to make sure she eats some food. I told her she may not be cooking and whatnot, but eat some nuts or packets of crackers, something. If she doesn't, she might end up in the hospital due to exhaustion and lack of food which will help nobody.

Among the things we need to deal with if Trump gets a second term is the idea is that it is OK to send a mob to the home of an elected official at 11 PM to try to browbeat them into adopting the mob's policy positions.

920 ARC, I think that issue (mob mau-mau-ing of elected officials, or others) is entirely a question for the jurisdiction where it occurs. Sure, it's a stunning example of national degradation. But as in this case, it's a local problem, and creation. You wouldn't see that behavior tolerated in many places. These s-holes are reaping what they're sowing.

And let us not forget a "president" of the US, unbelievably, saying he was the only thing between certain enemies of the people and the mobs with the pitchforks - implying that there wasn't anything wrong with the lynch mob, but the intended victims should be thanking him for maintaining civilized order (which he wasn't).

True. A lot of jurisdictions have laws against threatening public officials. These laws can obviously be abused, but I think a loud, threatening late-night mob at your house would definitely qualify.

The Portland city councilman proudly told the mob that he texted the cops three times not to show up, so eff him.

He'll learn his lesson when they come back in a few days and trash his house.

That cost I quoted doesn't include the cemetery as the plot's already been paid for. $600 for the Church! I don't know if that includes tips or not (to the priest and the altar boys). And she's going for near the bottom when it comes to the coffin, no where near top of the line, around $11K, something like that. Then there's $1,800 for the cemetery to put in a concrete holding pit so that her Mom can later be stacked on top without shifting. I'm tellin' ya, everybody has their hand out when you die, Uncle Sam being the worst offender but by no means the only one.

May your friend be Blessed with Strength in this miserable time ... and maybe some Compassion from those in charge.

938 A line of mounted police clears a street like fog evaporating in the morning sun. Nobody dilly dallys or gives lip or anything - they just move back. Cool.

Will never forget the line of mounted Park Police in front of the WH during the Shah's last visit (Carter) - shoulder to shoulder, with the clear plastic riot shields, helmets with visors, and black leather boots. On Penn. Ave, whole block facing Lafayette Square. In front of them, police with shields, shoulder to shoulder. Behind the black WH fence, uniformed Secret Service in heavy gear, some with dogs.

Nobody was getting anywhere near the WH fence in that situation.

To be clear the protesters weren't violent, at that location/that time. Just signs and chants.

Turner "tested positive" in that yes, the bullshit tests they administer create "cases," which is part of the new CASEDEMIC part of the Plandemic.


Turner actually went back onto the field to celebrate and said he has no symptoms or that he feels sick in anyway.

Basically this is all bullshit and you can see how if Biden wins the mechanism for winding all of this down will be new guidance for testing and that they will stop the overamplification of the PCR tests that take epidemiologically insignificant virus and create a "Case."


Just remember, I called out this bullshit months ago, every aspect of this bullshit is a fucking lie.

1027 A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Infringe definition is - to encroach upon in a way that violates law or the rights of another.

Encroach definition is - to enter by gradual steps or by stealth into the possessions or rights of another.

How is not every gun law in the US an infringement upon our rights?

I often encounter this argument:

"Well, the national guard is the militia, which was folded into the military. So since that need is met by professionals, there is no more right for civilians to bear arms. "

The counter argument, of course, is that, the "militia" being an official part of the military means we no longer effectively have a Militia. Which only amplifies the need for civilians to arm themselves.

Remember the narrative they pushed for George Floyd? (Doesn't that seem like a *long* time ago?)

They claimed that he was "turning his life around" in Minnesota... after getting out of prison for assault on a pregnant woman.

Yeah, "turning his life around" by passing off counterfeit money and overdosing on fentanyl. Right.

I would bet that if a study was done on deaths of black Americans by police officers, maybe 1% were citizens in good standing in society.

Which would make sense, since the average person - black or white or whatever - in good standing in society is not going to have dangerous encounters with police.

1103 Remember the narrative they pushed for George Floyd? (Doesn't that seem like a *long* time ago?)

They claimed that he was "turning his life around" in Minnesota... after getting out of prison for assault on a pregnant woman.

Yeah, "turning his life around" by passing off counterfeit money and overdosing on fentanyl. Right.

I would bet that if a study was done on deaths of black Americans by police officers, maybe 1% were citizens in good standing in society.

Which would make sense, since the average person - black or white or whatever - in good standing in society is not going to have dangerous encounters with police.

1106 Dodgers infielder Justin Turner returns to the field for World Series celebrations despite testing positive for COVID-19

"Testing positive".

Notice over the past couple weeks or so, this is the new narrative. "Testing positive."

The focus had been on deaths. Then changed to "cases" when deaths went down. Now it's those who "test positive".

According to the CDC, a COVID-19 case is "testing positive with symptoms". So if someone does not show symptoms, not a COVID-19 case.

Thus, the shift to "test positive" narrative.

Same here. My signature used to be very legible when I was younger. Almost close to how they teach you cursive writing in school.

But over the years, I've just said fuckit and now the only legible letters in my name are the first and last letter of my first name (M & l) and the first letter of my last name (Y).

Yep. This is from an American Thinker article yesterday:

What exactly is this current surge? Is it a surge in positive tests, cases, hospitalizations, or deaths? A positive test alone is not a case, according to the CDC. The "case definition" of COVID is a positive test and symptoms. People who might have had a mild case a month ago may still have dead viral particles in their noses, triggering positive tests.

1140 I often encounter this argument:



"Well, the national guard is the militia, which was folded into the
military. So since that need is met by professionals, there is no more
right for civilians to bear arms. "





people really are morons. regardless of how the military has changed over time, the constitution and the bill of rights hasn't lost its meaning. the bill of rights are rights that supercede even the power of government. they are given by God.

but most simply why the hell would the second amendment be a guideline of a right that the individual doesn't have, that only a state militia does? after the commas it still says rights of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. even given the most liberal reading and interpretation of the so called prefratory clause, the word people is pretty nonambiguous and has never meant the state or the military.

ther aren't any supercedents or qualifiers needed. the bill of rights are rights held by the people that the state can not subordinate and Jefferson and Madison would argue that they couldn't be changed either despite the amendment process because they supercede earthly government entirely.

1141 Turner "tested positive" in that yes, the bullshit tests they administer create "cases," which is part of the new CASEDEMIC part of the Plandemic.


One of the many things that been destroyed by CoViD is the very pseudo-science of epidemiology.

Prior to 2020, a "Case" was differentiated from an "Infection" in that a "Case" involved some level of hospitalization. Now "Case" can mean "Positive Test" (even false positive), assumed (as in exhibiting some symptoms but not confirmed), and "probable" this is when a person was proximate to a "Case" for over fifteen minutes and has a couple symptoms (sniffles, cough, temperature, etc.).

This tends to wreck the CFR and with IFR being useless, there is no way to really know how fatal the virus is.

To keep them in line, the populace needs to be armed.

Who was it here who described most Lousy-ana dwellers as "laissez-faire slackers"? My fedora is off to you.

And that little Moron was... me. Though the term was "laissez-le-bon-temps-rouler slackers".

Well, as I tell people here who complain about what they call cold (about 60-degree weather), "There's a new technology for that now. It's in all the stores. It's called coats and jackets."

I'm serious. I was thinking Wisconsin, but Kenosha made me wonder about that. SD sounds even better.

As has been said, the scam and op that we are enduring is as antithetical to science as can be imagined.
But with the advent of the CASEDEMIC, we can see the method by which the Deep State will wind down the op.

New CDC guidence on testing will come out and instead of amplifying epidemiologically insignificant virus for 40 or more cycles, they will lower the cycle count so that, voila, no new cases reported.

They antibody tests will be deprecated as being too prone to false positives or the trailing indicator that they are.

And again, the Plandemic will be wound down.

This is 100 pct guaranteed to happen if Biden wins.

1179 1153 1140 My argument supporting the 2A has been this. The founding fathers realized an independent country needs a way to defend itself. The states should raise militias. The founding fathers did not want these militias to run roughshod over the populace, say on orders from the Governor, so they have to be well regulated. To keep them in line, the populace needs to be armed.
