Sunday Overnight Open Thread (11/1/20)
“Our frontline servers have already had trouble dealing with masks and mandates and mandating masks. We did de-escalation training and all kinds of other things to help with that and now we’re taking to the next level. We have to gather someone’s personal information?” Scott Ellis, executive director of the Michigan Licensed Beverage Association
Quote II
“People are really, really mad. When you have that many people and they’re shut down, they feel silenced. It was a lot of work over the past year for a private group to just be shut down without notification,” Priscilla Confrey, co-director of New Jersey Women For Trump
Quote III
“Well, hopefully, it doesn’t come to that because we will see swift action coordinating with and supporting public health authorities telling us what we can do without requiring any kind of mandates, but everything has to be on the table in order to keep Americans safe. We should never have got to this point. It should never have been allowed to get this bad. Failed Presidential Candidate Pete Buttigieg
Quote IV
If you believe that government can stop a virus, then you are an idiot. If you believe governments are stripping away rights and monitoring our every move because they care, then you possess the logic of a slave who has fallen in love with its master.Candace Owens
Quote V
“Osama bin Laden, as a person, is far more understandable to me and far less reprehensible, personally, psychologically, than Trump.” Sam Harris
Donald Trump is not Churchill, to be sure, but he gets things done. He is not a unifier. He often acts like the president of his base, not the whole country. He has done nothing to lessen our divisions and has, in fact, often deepened them. The convictions and intellect of all Americans should be respected by ALL Americans, especially the president. Has Mr. Trump handled the pandemic perfectly? No. But no one masters a pandemic. And the president was and is right that we must not cower before the disease and we have to keep America open and working. He has not listened well to people who could have helped him. He has not learned government, or shown interest in doing so. But the Biden-Harris ticket offers us higher taxes and a nanny state that will bow to the bullies and the woke who would tear down history rather than learning from history and building up the country. It offers an end to fracking and other Cuckoo California dreams that will cost the economy and the people who most need work right now. “Good-paying green jobs” are probably not jobs for Pittsburgh, or Cleveland, or Toledo, or Youngstown. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
The camera was programmed to automatically follow the ball, removing the need for a human camera person. Outside of taking a person’s job, it seems kind of neat in theory. The issue was that the camera couldn’t tell the difference between the ball and the bald head, continually focusing on a man standing around not doing much, rather than actually let fans see the action. To make matters worse Scotland is under strict social distancing measures. With no fans in attendance this was the only ways for fans of Iverness and Ayr United to watch the match, and instead they were treated to 90 minutes of head watching.Please tell me no one watched the entire 90 minutes of this.
Win, lose or draw, my President has fun and loves our country.
Unlike this paste eating dementia patient.
So do those mandated masks also come with papers to travel at will?
Biden finally comes clean and admits he is going to violate the constitution. During a desperate rally with former President Barack Obama Biden admitted he’s going to impose a “national mandate” on masks on the first day in office. On September 16th, Biden said that a national mask mandate is constitutional and that he would lobby every person in government to mandate masks. Now, with the election on the line, Biden is throwing the constitution out the window.
Antifa protesters took to the streets of suburban Vancouver, Washington, and burned American flags during their Halloween-night “anti-capitalism” protests. During one of these burnings, a protester yelled, “Death to your f**king empire!”
Capitalism scary? Not as scary as your typical Burn, Loot, Murder. Or just another night in Portland.
Police declared a march against capitalism and police violence a riot in Portland, Oregon, after demonstrators smashed the windows of businesses and threw projectiles at cops. The damage was caused during the “Capitalism is Scary” march that began around 7:15 p.m. Saturday from Irving Park, Oregon Live reported. But as the group marched south to Portland’s convention center, some of the protesters smashed the windows of buildings, including a bank, a real estate agency, two phone company stores, a hotel, and a Starbucks, the outlet reported. The AT&T store’s windows were vandalized while a worker was inside, Oregon Live reported.

And all Karen broke loose as the bus was spontaneously surrounded by cars bearing big pro-Trump flags and banners, putting on a show for the cameras. Nobody was violent, nobody was threatening. It obviously was an exuberant joie de vivre event to create something to post on social media. Instead of just laughing it off and maybe saying 'my bus is bigger than your cars' or something, the Daily Beast, a reliable proxy for the Democrats, laid out the zero-humor Biden campaign's outraged response. Joe Biden’s presidential campaign canceled a Friday event in Austin, Texas, after harassment from a pro-Trump contingent. Texas has emerged as a battleground state in Tuesday’s presidential election, with polls showing the typically Republican stronghold now only marginally favoring President Donald Trump. The Biden campaign scheduled a Friday event in the state, in a bid to drum up last-minute support. But when the Biden campaign bus drove to Austin, it was greeted by a blockade of pro-Trump demonstrators, leading to what one Texas House representative described as an escalation “well beyond safe limits.”The Swamp was not amused by the humor of Trump supporters.
The FBI is investigating a “Trump Train” incident from Friday, in which a Biden campaign bus was surrounded by a dozen pickup trucks driven by Trump supporters as it traveled down a Texas interstate, according to a report. The dangerous, caught-on-video highway confrontation led the Biden campaign and state Democrats to cancel multiple Texas events in the battleground state, the Texas Tribune reported. There was least one minor collision on the I-35 between a campaign staffer’s car and the caravan of trucks full of flag-waving passengers, according to the Tribune.As Charles says in the sidebar, defund the FBI.
The problem with legal weed? Illegal weed and kangaroos. Yes kangaroos.
Today in "what the actual heck?" we have a massive police bust just north of Toronto in which $150 million worth of illegally-grown marijuana was seized along with guns, crossbows and "several exotic animals." Among the creatures found at one of 15 different properties searched during the raid were three kangaroos and two zebras. That's right, kangaroos and freaking zebras. "Animal control was notified and is investigating," wrote York Regional Police in a new release announcing the raid and 37 resultant arrests on Thursday morning. The exotic animals were located in Schomberg, Ontario, according to police, though it is not known where they were procured, what they were being used for, or how many animals were at the site in total. What we do know is that the site in Schomberg was one of 15 across the GTA raided as the result of a three-month-long investigation called "Project Green Sweep."

Struggling Music Venues Find A Savior The music industry has been one of the hardest hit since the outbreak of Covid-19 earlier this year. A survey of 2,000 independent concert venue owners across all 50 states in the U.S. conducted by the National Independent Venue Association found that 90% expect to close for good within a few months if federal funding isn't provided.
"Independent venues were the first to close and will be the last to reopen," the NIVA said. "Venues have zero revenue, but obligations like mortgage/rent, bills, loans, taxes, and insurance continue. We have no work to offer our employees for the foreseeable future. The shutdown is indefinite and likely to extend into 2021 as our venues are in the last stage of reopening." With federal funding looking all but certain to not come in time to save these venues, Marc Geiger sees an opportunity to pitch his solution. Geiger, who formerly served as global head of the William Morris Endeavor Music Division from 2003 until 2020 and co-founded the music festival Lollapalooza, has formed what he calls SaveLive to essentially bail out struggling music venues. SaveLive, which Geiger founded with former WME colleague John Fogelman, has landed $75 million in an initial investment round to invest in venues across the country by acquiring at least a 51% stake in each. SaveLive's plan is to invest in dozens of clubs across the U.S. to create a network of venues that will be prepared for live entertainment to hopefully return in 2022 by their estimates. "One of my favorite things in the world is to go to a club, be treated well and see an incredible band," Geiger said. "So I thought, 'OK, I'm going to raise a bunch of money and I'm going to backstop all these clubs. I'm going to be a bailout solution for them, and I'm going to call the company SaveLive." Despite having barely any other options, not everyone in the music industry is keen to SaveLive's move to bailout struggling venues. "Geiger's solution on some level scares me," Frank Riley of High Road Touring told the New York Times. "He is going to buy distressed properties for money on the dollar and end up owning 51 percent of their business. Is that independent? I don't know. But it does save the platforms on which things grow and where artists are sustained."

Now That More Americans Can Work From Anywhere, Many Are Planning To Move Away. I did that in 2018.
As coronavirus cases continue to spike and working from home seems permanent, many Americans are planning to set off to live in new places. An astonishing 14 million to 23 million Americans intend to relocate to a different city or region as a result of telework, according to a new study released by Upwork, a freelancing platform. The survey was conducted Oct. 1 to 15 among 20,490 Americans 18 and over, The large migration is motivated by people no longer confined to the city where their job is located. The pandemic has shifted many companies' view on working from home. Facebook announced plans for half of its employees to work from home permanently. The company even hired a director of remote work in September to ease the transition.

"As our survey shows, many people see remote work as an opportunity to relocate to where they want and where they can afford to live," says Adam Ozimek, chief economist at Upwork. "This is an early indicator of the much larger impacts that remote work could have in increasing economic efficiency and spreading opportunity."

Aladdin's Lamp is not real. Really. Tell it to our Genius Award Winner.
Two men who allegedly duped a doctor into buying an “Aladdin’s lamp” for more than £70,000 – even conjuring up a fake genie – have been arrested in India, according to officials. Laeek Khan approached police in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh after he realised the lamp did not have any magical powers, as described in the popular folk tale about Aladdin and his wish-granting genie that appears when it is rubbed. “The cheats had struck a deal for much more but the doctor had paid about 7m rupees (£72,000),” Amit Rai, a senior officer, told AFP. He said the men were arrested on Thursday and were remanded in custody ahead of charges being filed.

I do miss the hell out of live music. I've been a musician since 1977 and last year I played in some Wednesday night bluegrass jams at a restaurant/bar, Thursday night blues jams at a different bar, and some open mic nights at an independent coffee house downtown (leftists but sweet people and I enjoyed the place until they went on COVID hiatus).
I miss the hell out of live music (that and baseball). I'm glad when the chance to take my family to see Alice Cooper and later Peter Frampton (shockingly good -- give his 2019 blues album a listen) came along during the summer of '19, I pulled the trigger.

If/when Trump wins MSM will refuse to announce it and Dems will not concede and insist ballots are coming in and being counted and screw the rules. When Trump refuses to cooperate and declares victory the MSM will scream about Trump stealing the election/refusing to concede/ dictator just like Hitler etc...and get the mobs worked up and chaos follows.

Since almost all the rioters come from Portland, I wonder why no local has done anything creative to cars parked near the riots with Oregon plates. I mean, the least you could do is put Trump bumperstickers on all the cars.
The local cops have been recording license plates and VIN numbers, which just proves that we live in a fascist society.

Once re-elected, Trump needs to call all his cabinet and advisors together.
And tell them 'OK, you know how my HIT TV show worked, there were tests to see if people were good? and if not? They were brought to the board room, and fired.
Guess what, this is the Board Room.

Please note: They do not behead people. People tend to think of scenes they may have seen or imagined from books and movies where a big guy with a big sword comes out and chops someone's head off. Boom! Over.
No. The way it really happens with these latter day Mameluks isn't quick and it isn't over right away.
First they bind up the victim in some way. Just holding on to the arms by helpers is sometimes sufficient.
And THEN THEY SAW AWAY WITH A KNIFE AT THE NECK!
(this is why I believe they should show the videos of the beheadings just so we can be clear it is not quick)
All the while the victim is alive until they cut the arteries to the brain and then it's about 2-3 minutes after that.
It is a terrible way to die. It is terrorizing and it's done for exactly those reasons.
And any religion that promotes or practices this type of assault as being righteous should be recognized as evil and nothing to do with a Loving God no matter what they may claim.

667 So I did the Capital Beltway Caravan. Drove around the entire Beltway. It started in the pouring rain and gradually the sun came out. In 4 hours saw about 6 people give us the finger and one gave us a thumbs down. I saw 4 people give us a thumbs us and one truck blow his horn in support.
There were at least two pickups with a decorated elephant in the flatbed and flags. There was one pickup with a Trump train on the bed and it blew smoke!!
Cutest: saw a young boy (maybe 5) wearing a suit and a GOLDEN SCALP waving from his car window!!
During the entire time, I only saw 3 Biden Harris bumper stickers (for the record they were not the people who gestured) and one Warren.
But it was awesome to see SO many supporters. Hope to find out estimate of # of participants.

They would get a time Sync via radio.
Then start a stop watch at the time sync.
Thus, if the sync was 8:02, and the stop watch was at 10 minutes? They would set 8:12, and record it.
Was important for navigation purposes.

Osama wanted to force the world into submission to Islam. Sam Harris wants to force the world into submission to transnational progressivism.
Most Islamic theology and practice is in theory pretty abhorrent to transnational progressivies but...transnational progressivies don't really believe in anything of the stuff they say in way. They believe in power. What they are making people bend the knee over isn't as important as making them bend the knee.
So amusingly the left never really hated Osama as much as Osama hated them...

I am surprised that some local patriots haven't taken to sniping at the Pantyfa rioters. High vantage point a quarter-mile distant, .22 rifle with a suppressor, firing subsonic ammo, dump a mag into the mob, and un-ass the area before the cops even become aware of shots being fired.

Three reasons I believe....
1) There aren't that many patriots in the blue cities where the riots are happening. And the suburban/red state police have been keeping the antifa types out - there have been a few stories with the FNM whining about it.
2) Everyone knows you shoot an antifa thug the full weight of the government is coming down on you.
3) I think just about everyone knows the FNM would use anyone shot this way as their very own Horst Wessel.

It was raining and I see in the distance a car with the flashers on, and 4 cars in front of him another car with flashers. Great, a frigging funeral I'm thinking, and as I got close i started seeing some pickups with trump flags. Holy shit, its a trump car train. They were in the slow lane, so I'm cruising by in the middle lane holding the thumbs up out the window and I'm getting horn honks. A few miles before my exit I said screw it and got in line. lol

About to turn in, but ISTR chronometers are manufactured to have very precise error rates. Small, but errors.
So if we lose INS, satellites, Lin-11, Link-16, cell phones, etc, than the navigator's chronometers can give us the right time.

Traffic lights and roundabouts and stop signs chopped up what was a 300 car group at the start. Mostly positive responses. Even some parents pulling their small kids to the curb to wave to us.
Some focused hate, but I waved and said "Thank You, Karen" to them. (all young female, btw.). Took an hour to wind through Manhattan.

This is America vs China. Nurse ratched said there are people here who aren't going to vote.
Those people should be ashamed. Actually, they should be worse than ashamed. They should be aware that they are actively helping China to take over the American government. They are worse than enemies. They are traitors.

The Patent Office was saved from burning by the Patent Office Director. He convinced the Brit commander that burning the building down would be a crime against humanity.
Ironically, it burned to the ground in 1837 or so, and all that progress was mostly lost.

This is a lie.
If there is one thing I've learned in nearly 50 years on the planet, it's that I'm dumb as fuck.
And when I say that, I'm not being self-deprecating for humor. I'm genuinely fucking stupid.
Are there some things I'm good at? Sure, I have a discipline or two I'm semi-competent at, but even in those areas, I'm still largely retarded compared with people that are masters in those areas.
This is not the disrespect people think it is. You might be a nukular rocket surgeon, but you don't know Jack-fuck about what it is I do. And your stupid fucking opinion doesn't really matter if the two of us are figuring how to best staff and deal with logistics to serve 5000 people beer at a music festival. You are pig ignorant.
Likewise, if I come down to your nukular rocket factory and start telling you how I'd do it, feel free to jack slap the shit out of and call me a simpleton moron that needs to go back to his trailer park home.
Not everyone is equal. Lots of people are really fucking stupid about everything. They probably couldn't fuck if their penis didn't point the way first.
It's reality. 25% of the population is too dumb to carry out basic tasks without supervision. 50% are average at best, enough to not injure themselves. 20% are capable of learning and understanding concepts. 5% are exceptional.
This whole "respect everyone's intellect" is bullshit.
In fact, if you bothered to read this comment, you probably became incrementally less intelligent because it isn't even inspired or nuanced.
Most people aren't worth listening too.

It caused such an uproar that the CA legislature, in a rare moment of sanity, banned the practice of taking on a fake ethnic name for the ballot. If Beto ever runs for president, he'll have to be Robert Francis O'Rourke in CA, and he can thank Camel-la for it!

We came across the caravan while driving home from one of our favorite restaurants -- a neighborhood bar that serves great pizza. Because Lord Humongous imposed another indoor dining lockdown on our area we wanted to support this restaurant. Quite a few establishments are defying this order. I am seriously beginning to wonder if Trump could pull off an upset in IL... but even if he doesn't, it will be closer than it's been in a while.

Oh, he's changing the party. We're learning to fight! I honestly didn't think I was listening to Rubio for a while there. "Oh, must be some state rep or something, some guy who speaks Spanish like a native". Nope. Ol' squishy Rubio was breathing fire. Does that mean he believes a word of it? Who knows: he's a politician. Is Trump and Trump's leadership making "the wrong people to the right things"? Absolutely.
Awesome, isn't it?

There is no reason whatsoever to behave if there is no God. No 10 Commandments, no love your neighbor, no reason at all. And none of the "elite" atheists can tell you why, but they all claim you can just be "nice" and everything will be fine.
Of course, they are not nice, particularly to those who DO believe in Him, and follow Him. They call us idiots, or say we worship an invisible sky friend, or tell us we are hypocrites because we sin from time to time. Not nice at all.
But when you have no God, how do you define "nice?" You can't. It is all relative, and self-serving, and horseshit used to beat up their "opponents."
So, we pray for them, even if we don't hold out much hope for their salvation.

"Trump won."
I immediately fell to my knees, there on the kitchen floor at 4am, and thanked GOD for that!

Posted by: attila the curious
I don't agree with any of that. It is a well accepted idea, but it doesn't stand up to scrutiny.
For one thing, there was no open path to Washington. The City of Washington was heavily fortified and the Army of the Potomac was not going to let Lee simply disengage and beat them to their capital. You should check up on the Pipe Creek Line. It was between Lee and DC and it was where Meade had planned to make his defense before the fighting started at Gettysburg.
Also, the only chance the CSA had to win that war was to get the USA to quit the fight. US morale and support for the war was at its lowest point in 1864, while Grant and Lee were slugging it out in the Overland Campaign. Gettysburg was a memory at that point.
It is not that the CSA could not have won. It is that they didn't win. Somehow that turned into the idea they could not have won. And many in the South pushed that idea after the war.

I had Rancher Bob fire a magazine of five rounds from my CZ 452 Lux, .22LR. 24 inch barrel, Sub Sonic ammo.
To put him onto steel at 100 yards, I slid the elevator on the leaf rear-sight to the 125 yard mark. And he shot five for five.
All that was to be heard was the metallic "click" of the striker hitting the rimfire case, and the "clang!" of the bullet smacking steel.
AOP's tactic is correct, but make the range 150 yards from DEEP cover, and let fly.

I resist the urge all the time to let people become the victim of their own failures.
Part of my business is going to set up bars for private events and wedding receptions.
They call me, I give them my advice on how to best handle the event. I've literally done thousands of these.
It goes in one ear and out the other. They'll pay $5000 for flowers and try to save $10 picking up ice themselves for the bar.
Then I'll show up and it will be a complete shit show. And everyone will be freaking out and some father of the bride will be running to a dollar store to buy storage bins and the convenience store for ice in his three piece suit while the bride is crying, the mom is prancing about in full Karen mode and then I scramble around on the triple-time trying to make Mojitos out of a galvanized bucket, scooping ice with a wooden spoon and putting them in a styrofoam coffee cup.
Or worse, I've got one of my employees calling me on a cel phone while I'm at another job saying "What the f*ck boss?" like I can reach through a cellphone with my magic bartending hand and solve issues.
And a big part of me thinks "Good, ruin your special day, IDGAF".
But I just have too much damn sympathy. So I wind up loading up shit they didn't pay for, taking to events knowing they are gonna fuck it all up, partly because I want to make sure somebody else's shortsightedness doesn't ruin their day, partly because it makes my life easier.
But I fight the urge every week to just go "Good, watch it burn mutherfucker. You knew better."
But I just don't have it in me to not care.

i've been wearing my Trump 2020 "Four More Years" out in public, expecting rude comments and stinkeyes all around.
------------------
Good for you.
I saw "Trump 2020" on one pillar under a freeway overpass, and "Make California Red" (all in red spray paint) on the next while driving through Pasadena the other day.
I'm seeing encouraging signs, though I don't think Trump is actually going to win the state. But I'd be happy just knocking out the Dem super-majority in both legislative houses.

Not that I was all that impressed before this, but my assessment of a great % of the American population has decreased by an order of magnitude in the last few months. Very scary, to see such an incurious, ignorant, docile populace, misled by such clownishly unserious, unprofessional, incompetent public officials.
And then ....... the boss gloriously suggested, since she was feeling weak and couldn't handle stopping just for coffee, that we go by Dunkin Donuts and get something to go with coffee. We went to our usual place to consume - artificial island facing North Island right next to the airport.
Remnants of the Trump boat parade were still there. People camped out, cars with flags honking, etc. We marveled at how nice and odd it was to see this kind of aggressive, open Trump support in public, in CA. Even at the nice restaurants at the end of the island, many cars parked with Trump banners, signs, etc. sticking out. One wouldn't do that just anywhere, even here, where things are generally just softer edged and mellower than most places. But no problems.

About this coming election night, I've thought for some time now Trump should give an address Tuesday morning, saying that win or lose we need to stay peaceful, we can't have towns destroyed because you didn't get your way. Then if that does happen hopefully he declares martial law and sends the army in to round up antifa members and catapult them into the sun.

Talk about conflicted...
1) The woman has raised & spent over $15 million!...
2) In a hopeless House race in Baltimore. Where $15 million likely means she MIGHT lose to the incumbent DEM (an adzh*le, admittedly) by 40% instead of 75%.
3) Her ads are brilliant. She is quite attractive (in a non-traditional way) & unusually articulate too, by any standard of comparison.
So... what the hell is she doing? Not running for Congress in any real sense. It's hard to see how she's setting herself up for another, higher office-- not in MD, anyway.
Maybe she wants to be in Trump's second term Cabinet?
Her whole deal is fascinating & strange. I've seen more of her Youtube ads than Trump & Biden combined.

My belief is that she was supposed to be the annointed one for this election. She's a woman, and a minority, so she'd check those boxes. And she was from California, and had the support of Big Tech, and all the money that means. Plus, she's an idiot who appears to be quite menable to whomever is pulling the strings in the Dem party these days. In other words, she'd be the perfect puppet in the White House.
And then Tulsi Gabbard single-handedly destroyed her in a debate, and put an end to that idea.
I think the same people still want to get her into the White House. And since Biden's clearly not going to be long for the office if he wins, putting her on the ticket is a stealth way of getting around the will of the voters.

The thing about Gettsyburg is that it is an incredible and complex story. The more you study it, the more complicated it becomes. But, there is a point where a light comes on, at least it did for me. The biggest error of historical memory for me is the idea that the CSA would have won the war if they won that battle. What ifs usually have no meaning, but really the key to the war was getting the USA to quit.
They were pissed after Gettysburg. Lincoln went into a deep funk and made clear how angry and despondent he was. The New York Draft riots happened after Gettysburg. In fact, many troops that served at Gettysburg went to New York to stop the riots.
Of course Vicksburg fell the day after the battle of Gettsyburg. And that was a true and complete loss for the CSA war effort. An entire army surrendered there.

Yeah, well, the ones I've met are the nicest people in the world. This may be projection on my part in thinking that most people keep parts hidden from view, and some people present fronts that are not 100% congruent with reality but shaded more by what they would like the world to be. This is easier on an anonymous forum.
this is not an insult to anyone, it has the benefit of making people easier to get along with, but there is always the risk of being seen as a betrayal if the truth comes out. Especially if people become emotionally invested in the character.
However, the New Yorker cartoon said that on the internet no-one knows you are a dog, but that is not totally true. Being a boring twerp always shines through. It is hard to disguise being an idiot,

I have used them a long time. Maybe things have changed but years ago you could only buy a generic size pillow at the store. You had to go to the website to get one that fit you based on your size.
They are good pillows. But they can come apart, they don't last forever. But there is a pretty good replacement policy.

Definitely true to a point. You know where that point ends? Vegas. I went to vegas on the last day of june some years back when my brother decided to get married out there. Dry heat? Out there I learned that heat is heat. 114 degrees and I got burned on every damn thing made of metal. Touch a metal banister, poof, loose a finger. Lean against a pole, poof, permanent tattoo. Walk 100 yards and you're shoes melt on the pavement.

it was 10,000. The 50,000 number was an error of understanding by civilians over the years. There were 50,000 casualties total on both sides. casualties included men who were killed, wounded, captured, missing, and otherwise unable to report for duty.

Well, not quite sure about that, we now have early voting and absentee ballots mainly in. From those, if you want to spend the money, you can backtrace who is actually showing up demos in far larger numbers than any polling sample.
The naive model, like Dave in Fla is making no assumptions other than registered Dems are voting for Biden and registered Reps are voting for Trump. In states with no registration, then primary voting histories of voters are used as a proxy. He is splitting Indeps 50/50. The Republicans have been overperforming on early voting and absentee to some extent compared with previous years. The high likelihood Republican voters have not cast their ballot yet while the Dems high likelihood pool has been depleted by EV and absentee. Thus, the Republicans have an easier lift than Dems on turnout operations on Election Day.
But, if this is a wave election, and Biden's comments on bringing about another lockdown, fracking bans, and other such unpopular topics with little to vote for a Biden ticket, we could be seeing a preference cascade where the Indep. go 60-40 Trump in EV and election day and Trump gets 15-20 percent registered Dems in some states plus overwhelming turnout from high propensity Reps. such as 69-27 percent.
The banked early vote and the electorate being different demographically makes a difference but if the working class voters turn out and the young are not, you could see something like GHWB beating Dukakis in 1988 with Trump winning 53-54 percent of the vote versus 45-46 for Biden. That would probably also come close to flipping the House which TJM would know more about as he is tracking those. That would also probably mean holding the Senate with maybe even a small gain.

We were coming home once, and I had a nosebleed from the dryness of the heat and we pulled into a drive-thru to get a coke and some ice and the girl in the window was like "Can you believe this humidity?!"

Posted by: attila the curious at November 01, 2020 11:58 PM (w7KSn)
Historians say Sun Tzu lost a lot of battles. The book is most famous in modern times because MBA's and other civilians read it.
OF course Lee made mistakes. Every general made mistakes. Grant made lots of mistakes that cost a lot of lives. But he won the war. If someone thinks the CSA would have been better off without Lee or if there was someone else who could have done better, they are incorrect. The only name that comes up is Jackson. But if you know Jackson, you would know he would have been a horrible army commander. He had no personnel skills.
Of course the attack on the third day called Picketts charge was not the best idea. It was not ideal and Lee knew that. He didn't think he had another option. And his infantry had succeeded in frontal assaults before that battle, and commanders on both sides ordered frontal assaults after that battle.
Every student at West Point knew frontal assaults were not ideal. You can try to maneuver and do it by the book, but the enemy often has a say in this. Lee attacked the flanks over and over, including at Gettysburg.
You should ask Grant about frontal assaults. He tried to flank Lee's army over and over during the Overland campaign. But almost every time Lee outmaneuvered him and the fight ended up a frontal assault.

agreed. It is scary what is going on. And those that fought in the Civil War on the USA side would be aghast at how so many care so little about the union. Now days, many want to just take their ball and go home when things get bad.
But I want to be clear here. The 50,000 casualty figure IS for the entire battle. There were around 10,000 killed in action. That number is probably higher because back then they were very strict. If you died the next day, it doesn't count as a battlefield death. And it was the biggest battle in American history and the most destructive. But yeah, 50,000 were not killed there. And I used to think this too because it is taught and mentioned all the time. But the number is wrong.

that is how it has been taught for over a hundred years. But it makes no sense really. Like I said, Vicksburg falling was worse and that was the day after the battle. And the USA was a democratic republic with elections. At any point the American populace could have decided to let the CSA go. They came close in 1864.

The CSA was on the defense from then on, right up to Appomatox Courthouse.
Posted by: attila the curious at November 02, 2020 12:24 AM (w7KSn)
it was a bad loss for the Confederacy and a great victory for the USA. The High Water Mark idea was pushed by the US Park Service for years. Yes it some ways it was. It was the end of a string of victories. It was also the last time the CSA invaded the North. But no one knew that at this time.
I agree Lee was mostly on the defensive other than Early's Raid late in the war. But even on the defensive, Lee's army did a lot of damage. Their plan was always to cause as much damage and loss so that the USA would say enough is enough. And again, Union support for the war was at its nadir in 1864. Gettysburg was July 1863.

Grant's biggest problem in the Overland Campaign was that the Army of the Potomac was not the instrument that the Western armies were.
Also, if Ben Butler had done his job and captured Petersburg, we would have been looking at a drastically shortened war and a probable Butler presidency in 1868.

The Copperheads were a strong force in the North.
The CSA never had a chance. The North was an industrial juggernaut with seemingly unlimited conscripts from places like Ireland.

As Dave in Fla rightly points out, Trump starts out almost certainly with 260 (he gets FL OH NC). Thus he only needs WI or MN or MI or PA - any single one of them - to win. Or even NH and NV.
If the polling miss is of the type and dimension I think it might be, Trump will be in the 320s for EV. There's reason to think that suburban shy Trump demo is significant. And a monster R turnout on Tuesday is also likely. The down-ticket and state-level consequences may be no less sweet than the presidential ones.

I grew up with a friend (named Butler, natch) was was a descendant of Ben Butler. He enjoyed telling a rather famous story about old Ben - at one point he was in charge of the Military Occupation of New Orleans, where he was accused of stealing a great deal of silver from the wealthy families, as well as the Virtue of their daughters. Later on, he was elected to Congress, and was giving a speech on the floor. Some of his political enemies, seeking to shame him, had contrived a way to run a string down from the ceiling, and they tied a silver spoon to it. While he was speaking , they lowered the spoon to where it was dangling right over his head, as a reminder of all of the old Theft allegations against him.
Ben saw the gallery laughing, looked around, and then looked up and saw the spoon. Rather than getting flustered, he reached up, snatched it out of the air and said "Must have been one I missed!!!" and then Continued on with his speech.

That 15 minutes hinged on a number of other events, including quite possibly the sacrifice of all three of the torpedo bomber squadrons. I hate to say it, but if Ring - the lead pilot from Hornet's group - had let himself be persuaded by Torpedo 8 instead of going off on his "flight to nowhere" and completely missing the battle, then it's possible that some of the Japanese Zeroes might have stayed at high elevation, and the element of surprise that so utterly doomed the Japanese carriers might have been lost.
Great for the SBDs. But it sucked for the Devastator crews that were wiped out almost to a man keeping the Zeroes down at sea level (including Yorktown's torpedo bombers that were able to arrive along with the carrier's dive bombers and fighters, and suffered the same fate as Enterprise's torpedo bombers).
Another couple in the Pacific are the Second Naval Battle of Guadalcanal, and pretty much anything involving Salt Lake City (who I refer to as the "luckiest unlucky ship of the War").

Yes, "Spoons" Butler. My favorite story about him was, after his failed assault on Fort Fisher, he was in front to the Committee on the Conduct of the War, testifying about how Fisher was impossible to take by assault. Just at that moment, someone burst into the chamber, crying out that Fisher had fallen. Of course, there was instant pandemonium, but Butler kept his cool. He stood up and raised a hand for silence. When it came, he announced, "God bless the United States of America!"

As a country, we don't have 28 years of slack left in us.
President Donald J. Trump is a charismatic American leader, and through the force of his personality is fighting the Communist Chinese invasion of the United States.
And this is as it has to be, because this is the new battlefield. China can't extend itself militarily across the Pacific, so instead it has purchased American traitors, like the Bidens, Clintons, Diane Feinstein, name the democrat and you will find a financial tie to China somewhere. The Confucius Institutes at our universities, the stealing of our technology and the soft takeover of our tech and social media companies.
And the unleashing of the Wuhan Flu on the world. That was no accident, it was an act of biological warfare. With willing accomplices in our government - Fauci, Birx, all the others - again working against US and with China.

Torpedo 8 was wiped out an hour before Enterprise's dive bombers arrived, plenty of time to get back to altitude. What did the Japanese in was the tempo of operations, constantly having to launch and receive fighters, keeping them from spotting the deck for a strike against Spruance.

You would like Ken Burn's Civil War. Shelby Foote was a fan of Forrest, at least as a General. I personally don't think much of the man. Sure he was tactically brilliant, but he could never have risen to a higher rank. He was an atrocious subordinate for one. While he caused all types of chaos for the Union, he never changed the outcome of a major battle that I know of.
The thing with generals and commanders is although they might be great at one level, they are often ill fitted for the next level. The Peter Principle rings true here. Forrest was tremendous on the battlefield, at a certain level. But he would have been a poor army commander.
Hood was possibly the greatest brigade commander of the war. But he kept getting promoted and he is now known for failure. Same with Jackson and Longstreet. They were excellent corps commanders, maybe the two best in the entire war, at least on the CSA side. But even the idea that they could have replaced Lee seems laughable to most serious historians I have read.
Sherman was incredible at what he did. But if he did not have Grant over him, he would not have done so well. He admitted this himself. He needed to be the number two guy, not the number 1.

President Donald J. Trump is a charismatic American leader, and through the force of his personality is fighting the Communist Chinese invasion of the United States.
And this is as it has to be, because this is the new battlefield. China can't extend itself militarily across the Pacific, so instead it has purchased American traitors, like the Bidens, Clintons, Diane Feinstein, name the democrat and you will find a financial tie to China somewhere. The Confucius Institutes at our universities, the stealing of our technology and the soft takeover of our tech and social media companies.
And the unleashing of the Wuhan Flu on the world. That was no accident, it was an act of biological warfare. With willing accomplices in our government - Fauci, Birx, all the others - again working against US and with China.

Big problem with Hood is that by the time he reached Army command, he had been severely wounded twice. That has an effect on a man. Also, he had the same problem that Grant had that I mentioned upthread. The Army of Tennessee was not the instrument that the Army of Northern Virginia was. Hood's plan for Peachtree Creek was a good one, but his subordinates were not capable of carrying it out.

But the course of events wasn't "VT-8 gets shot down, and then an hour later the dive bombers arrive." VT-8 arrived, and pulled the fighters down to sea level. It got wiped out, with a single survivor watching from the ocean. Then VT-6 arrived. It got shot down. Then VT-3 arrived. It got shot down.
But just as everyone in the fleet was patting themselves on the back after having survived three attacks. the dive bombers started their plunges. And all of the fighters were low on fuel, low on ammo, and - worst of all - far too low to do any good against dive bombers even if they'd had fuel and ammo.
And on a related note -
Oddly enough, there were two VT-8s in the battle. Hornet was supposed to be getting the new model of torpedo bombers (she and Saratoga were the only carriers that could land them safely at that time). Saratoga brought half of the squadron with her when she arrived just after the battle. The other half was already on Midway, and participated in the battle from there. They didn't do any better, though, and iirc only a single one of those planes survived. The "new" squadron was also called VT-8, since it was supposed to be taking over that role on Hornet. If things had gone as planned, then Waldron and his men wouldn't have been flying off of Hornet. They either would have been back in the States, or flying off of Midway.

There simply is no enthusiasm for Joey or Heels Up, no ground game (except for his basement studio play), early voting is not breaking the Dems' way, plus all the recent violence unleashed by the Dems' Pantyfa/Burn Loot Murder 'army'.
The polling is way off, again, due to no one wanting to talk to pollsters so the pollsters make wild-assed guesses. The Silent Trump Supporter is real. Trump will even win the popular vote, not that that means anything except to shut up lefties. Looking at the 2016 Electoral map by counties, one sees that it is bigly red. Flipping a few of those blue counties gives Trump the popular vote. As some wag here said, NY being too close to call will be a laugh out loud moment, not that Trump will win NY but he will do much better than the last time and that equals more overall votes.

Because they're looking at the early returns - and they realize the party faithful they were counting on to show up haven't voted in anywhere near the numbers they need them to. They also realize they've lost the working class pro-gun vote for good, and they're writing them off completely. This is a desperate last minute attempt to try and get a few more of the Faithful to show up and vote, people who were supposed to have voted already.

Of all the CSA figures I have studied and perhaps admired my favorite is Nathaniel Bedford Forrest.
He was a civilian, he started up a regiment on his own, he consistently defeated Union forces with inferior numbers.
After the war he repented all of it. Said he was wrong about every single thing he did.
Takes a brave man to do that.
Posted by: attila the curious at November 02, 2020 01:00 AM (w7KSn)
he was probably talking about the slave trading and Klan leadership. He should have repented though I have heard the repentance has been overstated. No reason to repent fighting well in a war. The soldiers on both sides didn't care what your beliefs were, they wanted competency and disdained anyone who wasted them. Look at Polk, "The Bishop". The troops didn't think much of him regardless of piety. Same for General Howard on the USA side. Although I think Howard got short shrift at Gettysburg, he was not that bad.

That would explain it--he must be aiming for the suburban Karen vote--inner cities do not care about assault weapons as an issue and rural voters hate the idea by and large.
His problem is the Covid concerned Karen vote probably has about 90-100 percent overlap with the anti-gun Karens. These are people who are fearful whether it is suburban school shooting or a virus.

Forrest Gump was named for Bedford Forrest. The guy was a folk hero for many in the South for years. He was pretty amazing at low level battle tactics. I know some of what he did has been studied by later armies, just like they study Jackson's Valley Campaign.
I am not the biggest fan for many reasons. But he was an important figure and his importance grew after the war. Sherman could not stand him, he really got under Sherman's craw.

As whig notes, this kind of desperate, and radical, signal at this point would mostly be hitting voters who are already with Joe.
Using the (entirely justified) slam of "gun grabber", with this fresh evidence, to motivate the gun owners who might be lazy voters - and also give the gun-owning Dems in these states one more reason to not vote Joe on Tuesday - seems like it would be a lot more productive.

Correct, although I could make the argument that Eisenhower being C-in-C of SHAEF was a political position. He had to control both Patton and Monty and make them get along. One could also say G.H.W. Bush was more bureaucrat than politician but he had been a Rep in the House for a few years.
One more irony concerning Eisenhower is after the war and before becoming POTUS, he was President of Columbia University. I can't see anything like that ever happening again, a victorious US general becoming president of a major university, nit with the way schools are today.

I was born during the Ike years, but a bit too young to have heard him speak.
But not TOO young to have not been with my Mom at a Goldwater campaign rally in San Diego during the versus Kennedy era.
I do believe it was the California State Convention, and not the General Campaign.
The meet n' greet was at the newly opened Sea World, in Mission Bay.
The Speech was at the El Cortez Hotel, in San Diego, proper.
Move forward to 1984. I was the 2nd youngest
alternate delegate ever, to the Texas Republican Party Convention, in Ft. Worth, TX.

I have posted this before, but that is ok. It is a pretty amazing clip imo. The setup is the press is questioning Ike about a supposed criticism of R.E. Lee. I guess I don't have to point out why the clip seems from another world. The press is giving Ike grief for criticizing Lee.

General Robert E. Lee is recognized throughout the United States as one of the great American Generals and one of the greatest American Christians, President Roosevelt told the giant crowd Friday afternoon at ceremonies at which the Chief Executive unveiled the bronze equestrian statue of the Southern leader in Robert E. Lee Park, formerly Oak Lawn Park.
"I am very happy to take part in the dedication of this memorial to General Robert E. Lee," Mr. Roosevelt said[.] ...
"All over the United States of America, we regard him as a great leader of men and a great General, but also all over the United States I believe we recognize him as something even more important than that.

repopulates them with patriots, revamps education by ending federal

violence which may be perpetrated by right wing extremists, not that
we're expecting any. He should then proceed to denounce any such

Foote was great in Burn's doc. Personally I would pay the most attention to what Ed. Bearss has to say. Not to be mean, but Foote as a historian was as great novelist. Joking aside, Foote was a novelist, that was his trade. He was not a historian.
Speaking of Jeff Davis. I am reading Mcpherson's book on Davis now. So many trash Davis for whatever reason. He was on the losing side and didn't have Lee's charisma, so there is that. But even Mcpherson shows Davis did a good job as commander in chief. it is difficult to say someone did a good job when we they lost, and most everyone thinks they should have lost in a just world. But still, he did not do a bad job from what I have read.

You have to look for the little moments of beauty in the world Jim. That was a beautiful moment and picture and that is Providence just as are rainbows, shooting stars, at appropriate times where the person, moment, and nature are in sync.
That moment captured in the picture was no fake Greek Columns, painted haloes, Lightbringer, calling him a deity, etc. that were examples of what you cited.
I see small moments of beauty everyday but not all of them are captured for others to see and to me these represent the small miracles occurring everyday in life.

I really like anything written by Stephen Sears. His book on Gettysburg was really well done. The book on tape is a great way to go if that it your want. The one thing that kills me about books on tape is that the readers sound good but have no clue what they are talking about. There is always this one moment when you realize this is so. It is usually when they mispronounce a name. You forget they have no clue because they sound well and the text is good, but they have no real clue about the text. In the Gettysburg book by Sears, you have to hear the guy mispronounce Harry Heth's name about a hundred times. It is pronounced Heeth, not heth.
it is still a good way to pass the time. But I listened to a book on tape a while back and had to hear about Warren Buffay for many hours.

you ever read Civil War naval history? I read one book on it and it was pretty good. It was called "The Last Flag Down", about the CSS Shenandoah. It was a pretty interesting tale. They circumnavigated the globe as i recall. They also had crew of all races from the four corners of the globe. While the Civil War was raging, they were sinking whaling ships of the West Coast.

i once took my father with dementia to the dentist. I take that back, I did this more than once. But there was this one time that stands out.. My dad sat there while the dentist pecked away. He might have been hurting him, there is really no way we could know. But then the dentist put on the yellow light to check for mouth cancer I think. My dad had been still for an hour but that was enough. It freaked him out.
The visit was over but when the dentist, a friend from church reached out to shake his hand. My dad took his hand and squeezed like crazy. I was there and had to pull them apart. Then I had to grab him and get him out of that place. I took a blow or two but it was no big deal. I saw his eyes and knew it was go time. I had no choice and had to grab him.
Alzheimers is a terrible disease. But not once did I blame my father for his malady. He suffered and so did we. But he did not ask for this.

Yes he has. And you guys WANTED divisions because you refused to accept the results of the election so you demonized him. LOL GFY
"He has not listened well to people who could have helped him.
You have NO IDEA who he has listened to. Sod off.
"He has not learned government, or shown interest in doing so."
Again, you are not an authority or expert on government. You probably still can't wrap your head around the need for the Electoral College.
Go away.

turn my stomach. The ancient slow march with bayonettes fixed plowed
head on into the first inklings of modern war in world history, and
those inklings were manned by cannon that slaughtered the oncoming mix
of husbands, fathers, sons, brothers, cousins, and friends like nothing
else in history since the waters of the Red Sea came together after the
Israelites fled Egypt.
Posted by: SFGoth at November 02, 2020 04:23 AM (KAi1n)
agreed. the war was horrific. We have never seen deaths to equal it. one thing I point out to others when it comes up is the battle of Shiloh had more deaths than all previous American wars combined. And most people no nothing about the battle of Shiloh.
But one thing that does bother me is the idea that somehow those who commanded armies in the Civil War handled them poorly and we know better today. The idea is they were "stupid" to line up and shoot each other. We today know they should have used fire and maneuver. They were using Napoleonic tactics and didn't realize the lethality of rifles.
I am not saying you are saying this, let me be clear about that. But many people do think this way. It is the same as those that say Lee was stupid for ordering Pickett's Charge.
These leaders knew more about war in that time than we will ever know. Many were highly trained and they also learned from battle lessons. The reality is the weaponry and technology at that time necessitated linear tactics. It was the only way to command men in battle, and coordinate fire.
If troops back then used fire and maneuver, the war might still be going on with no resolution. There was a point where they had to come to a resolution, the sooner the better. And the only way to put heavy fire at the right place, at the right time, was linear tactics and massed fire.
It is a myth that they used Napoleonic tactics. They were not stupid during the Civil War. They didn't have cavalry assaults on infantry. They did not bring up Artillery so that it could be shot down by infantry. They did quicken marching counts in order to close with the enemy faster and prevent rifled muskets from taking them out before they could get into position.
The last years of the war had major entrenchments that looked more like ww1 than the was with Mexico. They had flankers, vedettes, and pickets all over the place trying to find and distract the enemy. They rarely used bayonets on each other, but that was likely a cultural thing. It was a line neither side wanted to cross.
This is a complicated subject. A good book on this is by Earl Hess if anyone is interested. But what grinds my gears is people today that think because they were born at a later date, they know better than those who actually fought the battles. Again, if they were running around like Rambo, with the weapons they had, we might still be trying to decide that thing.

Before radio, the difficulty of controlling any formation of significant
size -- and the greater difficulty of coordinating formations of
significant size -- was a huge problem. I wonder if the German concept
of mission-oriented tactics and leaders' greater authority for
independent action was a recognition that, being the middle state, this
problem had to be addressed with the resources at hand.
Posted by: SFGoth at November 02, 2020 05:00 AM (KAi1n)
good point. Radio was the key really. and with the weapons they had back then, the only way to mass fire where you wanted it was to mass troops. The only way to keep troops in line was to actually keep them in line. There were so many examples where units broke the line or order of battle and and it became a shit show. You could see that at the famous battle for Little Round Top.
Lee was well known for giving his corps, division, and brigade commanders leeway to make independent decisions on the ground. you can draw up a battle plan, but things often change. The commanders on the ground must have the leeway to alter the plan and react to what they see.

Summer is tomato season! Unless the horn worms eat every damned tomato on the vine. The lakes have attached campground s if you like hot and muggy with a high chance of mosquitoes.
Fall is glorious! Lots of color and cooler temps. Don't forget the harvesting! Farmers driving on the highway, woohoo! Lots of dust and leaf crumbs.
Winter is .... Fuck I hate cold weather. Hubbymayhem is from upstate NY and his opinion of Indiana winter is "Meh, I can still find my golf ball. And why are you whining about 25 degrees? I'm wearIng a t-shirt until it actually gets cold!"

The absolute hotest I have been in my life was Crane IN. Worked down therein 12 and 13. I think it was 13 it was so fucking hot we joked about the hotel running out of cold water when we got back to clean up. I got down to about 167 as I could not keep enough water in my body.

Norpoths own predictive model for presidential elections correctly identifies the winner of 25 out of the last 27 contests including every race involving an incumbent. The forecast, based on primary results and other indicators of party cohesion, has never been thrown off by pre-election polls or news events.
The model foresees a 362-electoral-vote Trump victory.

Masks, as worn and handled by 99% of the general population, are not effective and in many cases counter productive. (We here all know why, and i won't re-hash it here).
A national mask mandate will cause the masses to have a false sense of security, thus increasing the overall spread of this disease.

The Associated Press, one of several news organizations whose declarations of winners drive election coverage, is pulling back the curtain this year to explain how it is reaching those conclusions.
The AP plans to write stories explaining how its experts make decisions or why, in tight contests, they are holding back. If necessary, top news executives will speak publicly in interviews about the process, said Sally Buzbee, senior vice president and executive editor.

There were also the Seahawks who had names of people on the back of their helmets (Russell Wilson had Breonna Taylor, some WR had Emmett Till, bunch of others had Ahmed Aubrey).
Then there is the "End Racism" crap near the End Zones. And the "It Takes All of Us" messages for "Crucial Catch" regarding cancer awareness month.
I wonder if there will be a big push back on sports leagues to knock off the messaging shit. When people turn on games, they want to watch games, not be preached to about anything, even good causes like cancer awareness.
Players and the league want to have commercials about this stuff air during the game, great, knock yourselves out. Want to contribute to charities and efforts of your choice on your own time, great, knock yourselves out.
But, this constant politicizing of every professional sports game during the game needs to stop.

When a government turns a blind eye to Islamic extremism and instead focuses on if people are gathering in their homes and barring sex between couples to stem a flu type virus, you know your rulers have gone completely off the rails.

I get the whole "Confederates were traitors
thing. I do. They took up arms against the United States. That's kind of definitionally traitorous.
BUT - the United States pardoned them. We made Confederate soldiers veterans of the United States military.

Our family has watched America's Funniest Home Videos for years now. Generally family-friendly and fun for the kids.
The most recent $10K winners (from a camera in their homes for the prize announcement, because COVID) were a black man, white woman, two mixed-race daughters. It was a cute enough video, but nothing special.
Something else was very important, though.
