The Quotes of The Day


Quote I

“Biological women and girls must continue to have the freedom to associate with other biological women and girls in activities that serve their unique interests and needs as females. Further, this beauty pageant has already made reasonable accommodations for fully transitioned transgender females without male genitals.” Allison Kindle Pejovic, a lawyer with the Justice Centre

A "chick" with a dick, is still a guy.

Quote II

"We must call especially on young people to do without a few parties now in order to have a good life tomorrow or the day after,” German Chancellor Angela Merkel


Quote III

“They wanted to celebrate their birthday. This is who we’re dealing with. They’re people who are not bad people. They want to live their life, and they make bad decisions." Michelle Fire


Quote IV

“I remain innocent of any claims against me. I took the actions necessary to dispose of the case and get on with my life,” “Based on my experience as a defendant in the criminal justice system, I can imagine what happens to people without my education or means.” Brian Dennehey, Libertarian candidate for Cook County DA


Quote V

"We've all been cooped up and it's been just a terrible year. We've just decided if this brings a little bit of joy and a little bit of smiles to someone, then we're doing everything right." Angela Nava of Richmond, TX

It is never too late to start thinking about Christmas gifts for the Smart Military Blog reader. UH-1H Huey MEDEVAC for Sale!

1966 UH-1H Huey in restored condition, S/N 66-1080. This helicopter is #2 of 3 MEDEVAC helicopters that I’m restoring, some of the pics are of the #1 bird S/N 71-66224 that found its home already.

The helicopter is an in and out restoration project. The interior was redone to MEDEVAC with litter configuration. (Stretcher not included) The exterior has been repainted and stenciled as well. Potential buyers, please know that this aircraft does not come with data plate or maintenance records, it can’t be made to fly and is for static purposes only. I went through this aircraft over a period of several months to achieve its current state and have done many hours of work. I hope the pictures can speak for themselves.

You sir, and I use the word "sir" loosely are a lying, gutless son of a bitch.

Miles Taylor has come forward and revealed himself to be the anonymous anti-Trump admin official who wrote the 2018 NY Times Op-Ed and Book critical of Trump.

In a statement to CNN, Taylor explains “More than two years ago, I published an anonymous opinion piece in The New York Times about Donald Trump’s perilous presidency, while I was serving under him. He responded with a short but telling tweet: “TREASON?””

“Trump sees personal criticism as subversive,” he continues “I take a different view. As Theodore Roosevelt wrote, “To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or anyone else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about anyone else.” We do not owe the President our silence. We owe him and the American people the truth.”

Surprised Twitter allowed these Tweets today.

Karens vs. Non-Karens. It's getting ugly out there.

An NHS worker has had his eye socket broken in three places after being thrown from a London Underground train when he confronted three passengers for not wearing masks.

The health service employee was also punched repeatedly during the attack, which occurred after he pointed out that it was a breach of coronavirus restrictions for the trio – two men and a woman – not to be in face coverings.

One of the group struck the victim several times before throwing him off the train and onto the platform at High Street Kensington station.

He also suffered a chipped jaw.

I really haven't been a fan of Halloween since I was in the 8th grade just a couple of years ago. The Fabulous Mrs. Mis Hum and I don't decorate for it. However, if we did I would emulate one Mr. Steven Novak of East Dallas.

Halloween, the high holy day of spooky season, has a sort of Spooky Scale™ that runs the gamut from the casual black cat, full moon, or harmless jack-o'-lantern to the extremes of disembodied corpses, chainsaw massacre enactments or, even scarier, the thought of paying bills every month under the terror of COVID-19.

Local artist Steven Novak finds himself comfortably at the "horrifying" end of the scale, as his East Dallas neighbors and the Dallas Police Department will surely attest.

“I’ve always been up to hijinks like flying ghosts or 7-foot tall snow sculptures of myself, so if I was gonna do Halloween, it was obvious that it should be hyperreal," Novak says. "No lights, fog machine, or camp … something that would really freak people out walking by in the dark. So I whipped up some dummies and slung 20 gallons of blood all over.”

Loud pipes save lives Harley Davidson and their electric bike.

It’s been almost a year since we’ve last heard from Harley-Davidson’s nascent electric bike project, but based on what the company is announcing today, it may have been well worth the wait. Harley-Davidson unveiled a stunning new electric bike that it says will go on sale in March 2021. And the motorcycle manufacturer is also spinning out its e-bike division as a separate company called Serial 1 Cycle.

First and foremost, this is a nostalgia play. The name Serial 1 is a reference to “Serial Number One,” the nickname for Harley-Davidson’s oldest known motorcycle built in 1903. The bike’s design, with its white tires, leather saddle and handgrips, and sleek black frame, are meant to harken back to that first prototype.

Harley’s new company sprung out of the company’s skunk works Product Development Center, where a small group of “passionate motorcycle and bicycle enthusiasts” have been working on designing and developing an e-bike “worthy of the Harley-Davidson name,” Harley says.

Can We Wipe Out All Coronaviruses for Good? Here’s What a Group of 200 Scientists Think


Coronavirus is almost synonymous with Covid-19, social distancing, and frustration. But it’s not one virus—it’s a whole family.

The good news is that we’re already well acquainted with some members of the family. One estimate suggests these buggers have been around for 10,000 years, and we’re aware of dozens of strains, with seven that can infect humans. Many coronaviruses just cause a sniffle or light cough—also known as the common cold. The problem sparks when a viral strain, normally happily living in a bat, pig, or rodent, completely benign, mutates enough to be able to infect humans. Adding to the series of unfortunate events, the virus gets the opportunity to make that dreary carrier-to-human hop. The strain then becomes dangerous to humans, we don’t have any immunity against it—and the virus blazes through our population like wildfire.

Call me Mr. Negative, but they won't and they can't.

A couple of Genius Award Winners tonight................

Definitely, this will show Mercedes.

A popular Russian vlogger recently made international headlines after purposely burning his expensive Mercedes-AMG G63, because he was sick of it breaking down all the time.

Russian media reported that young vlogger Mikhail Litvin bought his brand new luxury car in December of 2019, for a whopping 13 million rubles, or around $170,000. For that kind of money one would expect both performance and durability, only Litvin claims that his Mercedes-AMG G63 was really short on the latter. Despite having allegedly driven it only 15,000 km (about 9,300 miles), he claims the car has been in and out of repair shops over the last 10 months. Exasperated by the constant need for repairs and the manufacturer’s reluctance to accept responsibility, the Russian vlogger decided that the best way to solve things was to simply burn the car down to a crisp.

Booze, pumpkin guts just what could go wrong for this Florida man?

Florida Man is accused of striking his girlfriend with a pumpkin and its innards during a 2 AM confrontation yesterday in the couple’s apartment, police report.

According to a criminal complaint, Nathan Garisto, 26, was arrested Monday on a domestic battery charge. Garisto, free on $1000 bond, has been ordered to have no contact with the 29-year-old victim.

Police say that when they responded to the couple’s Largo residence, the victim was “covered in pumpkin seeds and pulp.” Garisto, cops noted, was “heavily intoxicated while engaged in a verbal argument with his girlfriend.”

A couple of Feel Good Stories, they have been lacking as of late.

Cancer patient risks it all. Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.

Marshall Helm had been walking his granddaughter to the bus stop early in the morning when the bus driver drew his attention to the smoke and flames emanating from the house next door.

Helm ran over to the endangered home and threw open the garage door only to find flames climbing up one of the building walls. Despite how the Vietnam veteran has been battling cancer, he did not hesitate to charge past the flames and into the house so he could make sure his neighbors were safe.

Our vets deserve our thanks. And our help. Our second: Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.

A Vietnam veteran who has lived in a central Indiana home without power or running water for more than a year is getting a new house built from the ground up, thanks to a few volunteers.

The Delaware County Veterans Affairs Office worked with the volunteers to demolish 77-year-old John Holaday’s old home in Muncie in early October and began rebuilding it, the Associated Press reported.

158 Why hand out candy you wouldn't eat yourself?

Yeah, it's all M&M's with peanuts and Heath bars for my candy handouts.

Though I probably give out more chips bags than candy. And last year in an experiment I discovered that those cheap tiny cereal boxes are also popular--I had none left when the night was done--so I upped the number of those this year and dropped the amount of candy.

The one thing I will not give out is Little Debbie's Oatmeal Pies. Not because I don't like them--but because any leftovers would be gone so fast my bathroom scale would collapse into a black hole.

Coming home and going through each street in the whole neighborhood, home after home, with a plastic pumpkin pail to collect the loot along with dozens of other neighborhood kid groups coming and going. Periodically running home to dump the full pumpkin pail into a pillowcase then heading out again with your friends Later that night dumping your stash out on the living room rug and making trades with your sister while mom admonishes, "You're only allowed three pieces." I would give a lot to relive one old Halloween, it was so much fun.

People saying the obvious - "isn't the NHS there to protect US? This is totally backwards".

Even if one does the nerdy/fair-play thing and interpret the slogan as maintaining medical capacity amidst feared overwhelming numbers .... nah, bruh. Still a dumb slogan, and a complete inversion of the relationship.

But a country that puts a tribute to a pretty crappy health system in their fucking *Olympic opening ceremonies* is very far over the edge of unaware self-parody anyway.

I can't keep Hershey's around either. I bought five (5) big bars, and they were inhaled in just a couple few days. I don't buy chips or snack foods too much anymore.

The critical factor is energy storage, as far as I can tell. Batteries suck both moose and squirrel at fifty paces and will for the foreseeable future. Hydrogen fuel cells are better, but they have problems too.

Not a whole lot that compares to the energy density, transportability, and storage capacity of dino juice, and the infrastructure is mature.

Antibody-producing yeast vanquishes deadly gut infection in mice

There is a team working on altered gut bacteria to produce antibodies to fight Clostridioides difficile infections

"[the alternate procedure ] involves immune proteins called monoclonal antibodies that neutralize C. diff's two toxins. But they normally must be given as an intravenous injection that moves from the bloodstream into the gut. Feng's team wanted to get around the high cost of manufacturing such antibodies and deliver them directly to the gut. So his group turned to Saccharomyces boulardii, a type of yeast considered safe by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a probiotic to improve gut health."

334 Antibody-producing yeast vanquishes deadly gut infection in mice

There is a team working on altered gut bacteria to produce antibodies to fight Clostridioides difficile infections

"[the alternate procedure ] involves immune proteins called monoclonal antibodies that neutralize C. diff's two toxins. But they normally must be given as an intravenous injection that moves from the bloodstream into the gut. Feng's team wanted to get around the high cost of manufacturing such antibodies and deliver them directly to the gut. So his group turned to Saccharomyces boulardii, a type of yeast considered safe by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a probiotic to improve gut health."

supporters.



Still,
the increasing optimism of a Trump victory on this site is
proportional to the increasing shrillness of the MSM insisting he will
lose badly, and we are all going to die of corona anyway. These
conflicting signals are causing massive synapse malfunction resulting in
confusion and stress. I may have to just turn off all news and internet
for a few days, focus on work and family then crawl across glass to
vote for Trump on Nov 3 and go to bed early hoping for the best and
prepared for the worst. Nov 4 will be very ugly, one way or another.

it was checked before I started chemo, after seven treatments has now
dropped to... SIX!
Five or less is considered "normal".

I've been thinking about turnout with a friend of mine, and I (like TJM) believe that COVID-19 is going to turn out to be the biggest own-goal in election history.

Mail-in voting is going to be a huge disaster for the Dems.

As has been stated previously, the hardcore Dem voter really wants Trump out of office, and is really scared of the WuFlu. They have already voted.

The hardcore Trump voter may have voted now out of convenience, but we are waiting to vote until Election Day. The longer the line, the better the story we'll tell our grandkids about how passionate we were for the Golden Scalpweasel. We ain't afraid of no stinkin' WuFlu.

Now, what about the lukewarm Dem voter?

As we know, paying bills with paper invoices, paper checks and envelopes is a pain, even on the best days. We'd much rather pay by computer.

Looking at a paper ballot, with a bunch of strange initiatives on it, is at least as daunting. You have to find the time to actually do it, and there's always something better to do with your free time, like clip your toenails. You put it off, letting that absentee ballot sit there in the middle of the pile of junk mail in your home office. You'll do that research that you'd like to on all the down-ballot candidates...later.

If you have to go through the trouble to close the envelope on your choice, then go to a secure enough mailbox to get your vote in before the deadline, I think that if you're not passionate about Biden with all the revelations that are coming out now you'll find something else to do with your time. You're certainly not RISKING DEATH FROM THE PLAGUE! to wait on a long, long line.

I don't see Dem turnout being anything more than underwhelming on Election Day, and I think that if you're a Dem and you haven't voted yet, you're not going to.

This is going to be a fail of epic proportions for the MSM and the Democratic party. I can't wait to see the recriminations that come from it.

It must have been the next day when I saw the Rachel Maddow version. Possibly my second best reaction. Although I was partial to Van Jones on XiNN screaming to Jeffery Lord that "IT WAS A WHITEWASH! A WHITEWASH!" was close.

485 My dream scenario:

The networks to say exit polls show Biden winning everywhere; Texas, Georgia, Florida, you name it.

Trump will try to argue against the false narrative and will be locked or shadow-banned from Twitter.

In response, he'll go on national television, who will take the unprecedented step of refusing to cover his address.

OANN will be the only network that covers Trump's speech, which bolsters their recognition and catapults them into a proper network channel, taking Tucker Carlson and Greg Gutfeld and sending Fox cratering.

Meanwhile when the ACTUAL votes are counted, Trump wins in a route, we retake the house, expand the Senate and institute a day of reckoning on all who tried to destroy the will of the people.

516 Before the Covid Coup flu shut everything down I had a 10 day planned back country hike. I laid in twenty (20) 100 gram chocolate bars, 8 (eight) Kendall Mint Cake, and 3 SchoKaKola. The latter is caffeine and cola nut infused dark chocolate. This is pretty zippy stuff, perfect for a long drive, or invading the Rhineland I'm sure.

The Kendall Mint cake is an historic confection long carried by Alpinists and expeditions to the Himalaya. Basically mint flavored sugar and glucose. I remember thinking of the chocolate bars "I'll just eat maybe one a week, they'll last a long time!" Yeah, no. That didn't happen.

Harley's new company sprung out of the company's skunk works Product Development Center, where a small group of ?passionate motorcycle and bicycle enthusiasts" have been working on designing and developing an e-bike "worthy of the Harley-Davidson name," Harley says.






Development was delayed because they added an oil leak system to the bike for the complete vintage retro Harley experience.

Reminds me of this ad I saw many years ago (might have been in the Lampoon, might have been an actual post-AMF era Harley ad). A photo of a three story tall blow-up Harley balloon at a rally with the caption "At least this one doesn't leak oil".

On OMAD and don't snack much on sweets anymore but if I think back to candy I liked:

sour patch kids. those glorious orange ones that got crisp were a little treasure.

charleston chew

three musketeers

blow pops

I suppose I was always a sucker for penny candy back when you could find that sort of thing in the stores. those little red licorice pieces.

Posted by: IllTemperedCur at October 28, 2020 11:22 PM (EGyGV)


Definitely post AMF. They haven't leaked since the EVO engine and rear belt drive came out in the mid 80's. They used to have a rear chain oiler, so that was an automatic leak, and too many hoses and lines that dealt with primary chain oiling and return, which also eventually leaked if the owner didn't keep an eye on them. The new motor was sealed way better. After that they stopped marking their spot.

I have an idea. I think that if Trump wins (which he will), the Dems will quickly move to end the whole scamdemic thing. It won't have worked to bring down Trump, but it will have worked as proof of concept - they know that people will do as they demand they do if they are scared of a bug - and they'll want to save it to deploy again for the next "outbreak," which will certainly coincide with 2022 or some other event they want to manipulate.


When that happens, we need to flood lefty sites and forums with comments to the effect of, "What? I can't believe the Democrats sold out to Trump! How can they do this to us?!?! He paid them off with Russian money and now they want us to die, too!!" This would serve not only to encourage further leftist mental breakdown (a worthy goal in itself), but would also get them to really start eating each other. Some of them would quickly figure out that it was an op, and they'd say so, but that would only cause the others to react harder against them. "Of course you'd say that, you're a damn Trump bot!" It would apply to both the Leftist politicians and their vast divisions of idiots.


It wouldn't take much. Facebook and Twitter have taught us that very small waves in very small ponds can quickly reach tsunami proportions under certain conditions. Just a few of the right comments in a few of the right places, and you could create chaos on the Left from which they might never recover.

Maybe I'm getting too invested in this election year...

Of course that opens up a possible grey goo Apocalypse.

That will never happen.

Back when I was at NASA I wrote an essay on the subject. The bottom line is that nothing on earth exists between the sizes of the prions and chemical molecules. The reason for that is the Earth's atmosphere. At small enough scale the individual molecules of the atmosphere hit tiny objects literally like cannon balls (they move at similar velocities). Prions are large enough to withstand those shots, while chemical molecules are knocked around by them and survive that way. Nano machines of sizes between those two can only exist in near perfect vacuums. The grey goo simply can't happen because it requires nano machines in that forbidden zone.

We are actually in that right now. College age whites are moving the the Dems, especially post grads.

Black support for the Dems is limited to 65+. Under 65 is much more receptive to the GOP.

Male working class of all races is moving GOP.

The ant-war crowd that likes Rand Paul likes the Trump message. Peace through strength and targeted retaliation is a message that resonates. Drives the neo-cons away, but good ridence.

724 I'm just parsing numbers for fun.

I was looking at the 2012 vs 2016 county by county map, and I was in awe of how Trump turned so much of new england red. It wasn't enough to win those states but it was quite the turnaround from the feckless Romney.

In Maine, he almost won the whole state, whereas Romney barely made a dent. Same thing with New Hampshire.

729 The really interesting state to look at is New York. Trump lost it by a lot in 2016, let's be real, but he also undid a lot of the damage Obama caused, by turning counties that once were staunchly republican (and had drifted to the Dems under Clinton, Kerry, and Obama) back to the GOP. He even won a borough in New York City (Staten Island).

Here's what's interesting: If you remove the 5 boroughs of New York City (including the one Trump won) then Clinton received 2,391,543 New York state votes while Trump received 2,324,984 votes, meaning Clinton would won New York State (without the city) by a mere 66,559 votes, a margin of 1.4 percent.

731 At the weekly staff meeting today, the boss said he's worried about what will happen after the election. He's convinced no matter who wins, the other side will go nuts. I think he's right.

It should probably be pointed out to your boss "the other side" is already bug-nuts crazy. Has he not been paying attention these last couple decades??

It's a BS premise to begin with as well. I think your boss is full of shit. If the president loses his bid for re-election in a legitimate contest then there will be no burning, looting, rioting and murder. At least, not by Trump supporters. All bets are off, of course, when it comes to the lunatic left. They will pillage when they get the chance.

If the democrats attempt to steal the election, then I'm not sure that your boss is mistaken. But then I'd be sure to ask him what he thinks should happen in such a scenario? See where I'm goin' with that?

He's trying to portray some roughly equal equivalency, and that is a complete load of unadulterated bullshit, and highly offensive in the extreme.

742 The really interesting New York county is Suffolk, the largest in population outside of the city, and fourth largest overall.

In 2012 Obama won Suffolk 51-47. In 2016 Trump won it 51-45. That's a huge swing.

I'm not saying Trump can win New York. Actually I will say that. Trump can win New York. I don't think that he will, but a lot of the state counties went red for him, and they had a lot more people who didn't vote because they didn't think he had a chance and they weren't motivated in 2016.

They will be motivated in 2020.

Again, not saying Trump will win it, but I will be watching those counties closely next week, curious to see how much bigger the turnout is for him vs 2016.

809 754 One thing I suspect will happen election night, we will know enough to understand who the winner will be. For example Florida will be called.

They will try to drag out NC snd PA, but everyone will know the lead is insurmountable.

So there won't be an official call for days, but we will know the result well before.

It will be a lot like 2000.
Posted by: Dave in Fla at October 28, 2020 11:58 PM (5p7BC)

It will be far worse. If Trump's advisors inform him he has won and he gives a victory speech--which he will and should do, it very well may not be aired outside OANN. The question Trump has been asked constantly by leftist propagandists, and it has gotten my attention, is whether he will promise not to declare victory on election night.

The only way major media will announce a winner election night will be if Biden wins a blow out or appears able to defraud his way to a narrow victory. I suspect none of the states expected to be close--Pennsylvania chief among them--to be called regardless of what the results show.

My all time favorite was Martha Radditz, anchoring the ABC coverage, crying live on national TV. The small crowd I was with had just flipped over to ABC from some other coverage, and saw the entire thing live. We all had to take a shot.

It must have been the next day when I saw the Rachel Maddow version. Possibly my second best reaction. Although I was partial to Van Jones on XiNN screaming to Jeffery Lord that "IT WAS A WHITEWASH! A WHITEWASH!" was close.

822 And to add to 809, OANN has started to remind me of La Prensa, to date myself. If people have forgotten, that was the newspaper published by Violetta Chamorro and became the only opposition press in Nicaragua. Danie Ortega and the rest of the Sandinistas knew they couldn't kill her or suspend the paper because it was wildly popular and had helped depose Somoza. Fox reminds me quite a bit of the other non-communist media that self-censored after Ortega seized power.

Chamorro was one of the bravest actual journalists in history. Of course, her purported professional counterparts in the West never acknowledged it.

Jim, I received the pic of that revolver from Eromero. It's beautiful, but unfortunately, not enough funds. I am looking at getting there a day earlier next year to help set up, however.

I'm really pumped to try out my new handgun grip on Saturday with nurse and Mark AE. In about 3 minutes, how you taught me, from the simple handshake to the alignment of my fingers, a light went on. In the past, I've gripped it too hard, which caused my hands to shake and as a result, very inconsistent results.

I've pulled out the XD40 just to hold it and dry fire. The confidence is building.

And even more than the new knowledge is your fine Texas hospitality.

I'll give you an update this weekend.

There is no doubt in my mind that you really know your stuff. Lucky for me!

900 Well, today was kind of a bust, shop-wise. I fixed my wiring issue, and got the engine started in the Flxible, and the air pressure gauge slowly came up, and eventually got past 90 psi, and I could release the Maxi brakes. I put it in gear, and drove ahead about ten feet, but it felt like the brakes were still dragging. Put it in reverse, and tried to back up, but the air pressure had fallen right off, and the Maxis had kicked in. Either a bad leak somewhere, or else some component, maybe even the compressor, has failed.

Called it quits for the day. Tomorrow, if it is nice, I will drag out an air line, and hook it up to shop air, and go listening for leaks. Can't hear air leaks with the engine running.

929 149 I read something startling today. Gorbachev recently said that the USSR fell because of the TV show "Dallas."

I'm certain Gorby was joking, but there's many a true word spoken in jest.

I suspect Russian viewers of "Dallas" knew full well that few Americans lived like JR, but... the show included scenes in our supermarkets from time to time. You know, shelves with lots of STUFF on them.
Posted by: mnw at October 28, 2020 10:24 PM (Cssks)

Romanians were shown "Dallas" because the Commies thought the population would be horrified at how evil the Americans were with their evil wealth and evil opulence. It completely backfired. Romanian viewers saw people having things, just as you said, and driving around in their own cars.

"Kojak" was approved for viewing in Poland for the same reason - "look how filthy and crime ridden America is". But the Commies there didn't know what they were getting into there, either. The police were arresting the bad guy that even the viewers knew was the bad guy and they STILL had to read him his rights? (And that was translated into Polish, even.) That wasn't lost on the Poles.

932 Arriving late here, but the "beauty pageant" dude is the same guy who went after a salon for refusing to wax him down there. He went to the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal demanding money in restitution. The tribunal actually had some sense and in dismissing the case noted he was going for the money and also had a bias towards Asians and Southeast Asians for whom he believed were against LBGTQ people. But even in victory the salon owner and her employees were put through hell.



The person who owns this beauty pageant is Asian. He's demanding $10,000 from the Ontario Human Rights Commission in addition to having his demands met.

149 I read something startling today. Gorbachev recently said that the USSR fell because of the TV show "Dallas."



I'm certain Gorby was joking, but there's many a true word spoken in jest.



I suspect Russian viewers of "Dallas" knew full well that few
Americans lived like JR, but... the show included scenes in our
supermarkets from time to time. You know, shelves with lots of STUFF on
them.

Posted by: mnw at October 28, 2020 10:24 PM (Cssks)



Romanians were shown "Dallas" because the Commies thought the
population would be horrified at how evil the Americans were with their
evil wealth and evil opulence. It completely backfired. Romanian
viewers saw people having things, just as you said, and driving around
in their own cars.



"Kojak" was approved for viewing in Poland for the same reason -
"look how filthy and crime ridden America is". But the Commies there
didn't know what they were getting into there, either. The police were
arresting the bad guy that even the viewers knew was the bad guy and
they STILL had to read him his rights? (And that was translated into
Polish, even.) That wasn't lost on the Poles.

Pence in AZ and NV at least once more.

It's Trump - so Sat/Sun/Mon will probably have 3 events per day, depending on the geography.

Happy to see MN on there finally, but wish Trump would do a one-day western swing - NV, Orange County CA for all the House races, and maybe something in CO on the way back. Why not? I'm sure they have good data on every race, but there's a Senate seat in CO as well.

Fine, but don't make it all electric. Give it enough juice and 'lectric motor for a 5 minute dash, or 20 minute stealth.

If that can't get it done, then it's time to spin up the turbine and make some genuine torque and horsepower. And recharge those depleted cells.

Well, one of the heaviest, and most expensive components in a modern tank is the transmission and final drive. Replace that with two stout electric motors, or maybe four. Batteries in a thick layer on the hull floor plate, armor beneath them.

Each electric tank could have a dedicated "tank tender" vehicle with a fuel tank and a gas turbine generator to charge the tank's batteries, and provide enough juice to move the tank across country at battle speed.

Some emerge later, into the Art Thread or Morning Rant.

On the surface that would appear correct, but that isn't true.

We live in a society dominated by those who view the world around them as a series of univarient equations with binary outcomes.

So many people focus on one thing that they neglect everything else around them until those forgotten things flare up, then the spiritual crisis sets in because with stupid people, having more than one inconvenience at a time creates despair.

The greatest change I have seen is that we have transitioned into a country that no longer cares about the costs. The whole CoViD-1984 plannedemic is an exercise in fruitless but profoundly costly mandates, policies and actions. The expectations from decision and policy makers, from households to churches to corporate offices all the way to the highest levels of government are mindless and vanity decrees that refuse to consider the harm and damage they are doing to those who are subject to these capricious whims.

It is like everyone wants to be a sheep and a totalitarian at the same time.

1100 Nobody gets the concept of trade off anymore

There is an annoying political ad that plays on WMAL for Senator Mark Warner where he accuses his Republican opponent of believing that wearing a face mask is tyranny,

What Warner fails to acknowledge is that it is the government compulsion to wear one when no credible evidence exists that a mask is effective in a public health context.

He then adds: "We should follow the science".

I can spend a lot of words unpackaging that ignorant statement, and being that his advert is dishonest in every other statement made in those thirty seconds, who knows what he truly believes, but take at its face value, he is saying that whatever a faceless and unelected bureaucrat, free from any professional or personal consequences should dictate policy purely from an epidemilogical perspective - ignoring everything else, is criminally incompetent.

Also revealing is that Warner clearly hates people and is incapable of exhibiting any empathy for others. This is a terrible characteristic and given the lies that litter his advertisement, I'm guessing is that he is a psychopath.

Psychopaths don't have any empathy for human beings, and they try to mimic people because they are don't have the ability otherwise to act normally, so they say and do whatever they think will win people over.

Another clue that he is a psychopath revealed in his advert: he claims that he personally won two Trillion federal dollars "for more testing". Notice the multiple magnitude inflation of the number (as seems to be common in Democrats today, instead of thousands its millions, instead of millions its billions, etc.). More important notice that he ignored any of the financial aid aspects, but focused only on the cold mechanics of "testing".

Zero human empathy. Zero concern for the well being of others.

What is even worse. Everyone involved in making that advertisement signed-on and thought that this was the correct messaging.

They aren't people, they are monsters.

1127 This is what I was wondering. Since our Illinois governor, Lord Humongous is acting as our doctor, can I sue him, and not the state, for forcing me to follow his "doctorly" edicts?

Just go live your life and if anyone has a quarrel, just say "I went and got a second opinion".

We would do that in any other case where the costs are high. Who always accepts only one diagnosis or take only one bid?

As an aside, when they say they are "following the science" or listening to it as if "science" is an Oracle giving interviews, at best they are accepting Lysenkoism, what they are really doing is failing to do any science.

The scientific process works like this:
1) Some dude makes a guess on how something works.
2) He then goes and estimates the consequences.
3) He then devices tests to compare against his hypothesis.
4) If the tests confirm the hypothesis, he should publish the tests along with submitting data so others can duplicate or discredit the work.
5) If the tests deny the hypothesis, then he should give up or make a better guess and restart the process.

With CoViD, we only went to step 2 and then stopped.
This whole bit of foolishness began when that Ferguson fellow at Imperial College (who was banging an adulterous Marxist chick on the side) ran a truly F'd up model and came up with the 2.1 million people in UK and the US would die from Rona.

He made a guess, then ran it through a crappy model and turned up bullshit. Then the tyrants of the world said "We have followed the Science" and then that was the end of their pursuit of Science - they got their lock downs and their brutal totalitarian control over human lives.

In the meantime, the hypothesis and the models were proven wrong. Horribly wrong. Multiple orders of magnitude of Wrong. The lockdowns, social distancing, masks and other NPI show no signs of being effective in reducing spread. This is step (3), and the repeated tests are conclusive. The hypothesis and calculated consequences were wrong.

So instead of going back to the drawing board, they ignore all evidence, and actually double-down on the alleged remedy that is really a Trojan horse.

They are lying about "following/listening to the science" There was nothing scientific ever in this process.

But what is this mention of the high-school daughter of 14? Her name is Laura M. Glass, and she recently declined to be interviewed when the Albuquerque Journal did a deep dive of this history.

"Laura, with some guidance from her dad, devised a computer simulation that showed how people family members, co-workers, students in schools, people in social situations interact. What she discovered was that school kids come in contact with about 140 people a day, more than any other group. Based on that finding, her program showed that in a hypothetical town of 10,000 people, 5,000 would be infected during a pandemic if no measures were taken, but only 500 would be infected if the schools were closed."

I don't know if I would go there; I think they can stop the cycles at thirty rather than near forty as often happens.

If you can't find signs in the high twenties, then just stop or at least report the number of cycles taken to fudge a positive.

What is most infuriating is the blatant change in the definition of "case". Up until CoViD, a "case" was an infection that involved hospitalization. And what degree of hospitalization made that value rather fuzzy on its own.

Now a "case" is merely a positive test, and often conflated with "case" is "probable case" which doesn't even involve a positive test, just proximity to a "case" and a couple of common symptoms (e.g. sniffles and maybe a cough).

So the CFR and IFR are worthless values since the "science" has been so corrupted to "lead" policymakers over the tyranny cliff.

Oh my.

And the world knew that the Imperial College computer model was a dog's breakfast too, when even a highly cleaned up version was made available for public scrutiny.

So allegedly a fourteen year old student slapped together a computer program and that is taken as stone tablets from Mt Sinai.

I would love to see the HUGE list of unsubstantiated assumptions that were absolutely required for this simulation. Simple things, like how any material spread across the face has an objective deterministic resistance to the microscopic virus. Lifetimes of the virus outside its host. The viral load required (and this is wildly variable depending on a myriad of unknown contingencies). Climate, eye exposure, fecal-oral vectors, strain potency and variability...

So what she did was run a math model that estimated how many people she came into close contact. Her number was 140. So she then when on to write a model that said this needed to reduced to a handful during a pandemic. So she tried shutting down schools. And TADA, her contacts drop to 10 or so.

1180 I had a niece with a posi and her 2 small children and husband never got even the sniffles.

My running hypothesis is that, after analyzing the phylogeny of the virus, is that the strain that the body had the hardest time fighting had a Rt way below 1 because the host was quarantined a/o died so that the spread was relatively low.

OTOH, the mutated strains that are relatively benign are spread (the Rt hovers around 0.9 and 1.1) because the carriers don't even know that they are infected or contagious.

This is how community immunity works. What pisses me off is that we know Vitamin D is a part of the body's mechanism to fight off infection. So instead of letting the infection spread during the summer, we wait until the winter to minimize the body's ability to fight it and whatever opportunistic seasonal viruses come along for the ride.

I would submit that the Sturgis Event was actually a beneficial health care event in that any virus that may have been passed, was passed early and during the body's strongest season.

1184 At my age, I have a fairly good memory, and can recall things that get black holed by the media/deep state right after it comes out. At the beginning of the chink flu panic, someone made the announcement that the flu cooties don't like tobacco smoke and can't get a beach head in your lungs. (Not encouraging anybody to smoke). This was deep sixed real quick. Maybe there's something to the plague doctor's mask where you're inhaling botanicals to cover the stench.

1191 So she tried shutting down schools. And TADA, her contacts drop to 10 or so.

Whatever happened to the magic Fifteen Minutes?

Allegedly a person could be proximate to a spreader for under fifteen minutes and would be considered statistically safe, after fifteen minutes, call the CDC.

So what would be interesting to see is the time individually spent among the original 140 compare to the time with the 10.

If 14 of the 140 were contagious but she spent less than fifteen minutes aggregate among them, but spent more than fifteen minutes with a house member who was contagious, then she would be better off at school rather than at home.

Oddly enough, this is what the "science tells us" that kids are actually better off at school than at home. The safest place for an adult (who is focused only on CoviD) is to be at school.

(this, of course completely ignores all other causes of harm found at school or at home)

So naturally, we will all do the opposite of where "the science leads us" while claiming that we are "following the science".

I swear, our politicians problem mean "Sirens" rather than "Science" when they say they are listening...

Listening to the "Sirens" will cause you to crash upon the rocks. (for those who are rusty on their mythology and sailor lore)

Yep, exactly what I thought. That or they are going to hold it back and report on the surging number of new deaths and lock the State down again.

1263 The mayor of Nice, France had said some hard truths about getting rid of Islamic-facism instead of the usual politically BS and blaming the West. Maybe France will wake up, if not too late.

1264 Grandma visiting, brought her one-eyed cat who managed to get into a cat fight with our cat at 2:30 this morning. That was two hours ago and apparently I am never getting back to sleep.

What's everyone else's excuse?

1265 " The mayor of Nice, France had said some hard truths about getting rid of Islamic-facism instead of the usual politically BS and blaming the West. Maybe France will wake up, if not too late. "

Is 'Silence is Violence' not a world wide belief?

Maybe somebody could ask certain elected officials here in the US how they feel about these attacks.

The mask orders were originally thought up by a 13 YO girl for a school project science fair.

Pretty sure that was "social distancing". That is what I have read was the origin of that concept. A grammar school science project.

1277 Thanks all for the prayers. Mom will be 96 in a couple of weeks. Well beyond the expected age of survival in the US. Still had hoped she would die peacefully in her sleep like her dad. Unfortunately that's not been the case.
Have all of her paperwork completed and sent off to the skilled nursing home. Now we need to set up her new home. Hopefully she can have a few of her favorite things there and they figure out how to give her cut and style. I cut her hair for her and did her nails before she left the hospital. It's amazing how something so small can cheer her up.

First how hard is it if you have something people could die or kill literary over to protect it?
Two why did Tucker have only copy of "The only " damning evidence of anything?
Three in day of electronic imaging it should have been copied a million times already?
Posted by: Skip at October 29, 2020 02:48 AM (OjZpE)

In the clip I saw, of Tucker at the Fox News site, he didn't say there were no copies. In fact, he said that "a picture" of the documents was given to the courier/mail service to confirm what had been sent.
