NBC "News" Poll:59% Have Major Concerns About Biden's Cognitive Ability; Another 15% Have "Moderate" Concerns

For a total of a gigantic supermajority of 74% expressing moderate or major concerns that Biden is senile and unable to function as president.

There's a reason they kept Basement Joe in the basement.

Three-quarters of voters say they're concerned about President Joe Biden's age and mental fitness, while nearly two-thirds have concerns about the multiple trials former President Donald Trump faces, a new national NBC News poll finds, casting a gloomy shadow over the upcoming 2024 presidential election.

The poll also shows Trump expanding his national lead in the Republican presidential nominating contest to more than 40 points over his nearest competition, and it has Biden and Trump deadlocked in a hypothetical rematch more than a year before the general election.

Yet what also stands out in the poll are the warning signs for Biden beyond his age -- including an all-time high disapproval of his job performance, fewer than 4 in 10 voters approving of his handling of the economy and lagging interest in the election among key parts of the Democratic base.

"This survey is a startling flashing red light for an incumbent party," said Republican pollster Bill McInturff of Public Opinion Strategies, who conducted the poll with Democratic pollster Jeff Horwitt and his team at Hart Research Associates.

But Trump and Republicans have their own challenges -- such as the GOP front-runner's overall unpopularity with the general electorate, as well as how Trump galvanizes the political opposition, including those who have reservations about Biden.

"Yes, the numbers for Biden aren't where he needs them to be," said Horwitt, the Democratic pollster. "But the lens for most voters is still through Donald Trump first."

In before "all the good stuff for Trump is true, all the bad stuff is Fake News and Polls Are For Strippers."

Note that 60% combined have either "major" or "moderate" concerns that Biden had knowledge of, or was "involved in," Hunter's "business" dealings:

Is it though? I'm not too sure. It's not hordes of Africans flooding our borders with the outright encouragement of the left. It's Hispanics (albeit with some Haitians in the mix). That's a penis in the eye to blacks, who will have to shoulder the cheaper wages and competition for handouts.

Democraps TALK that blacks are at the top of the Victimology Pyramid. But they ACT like Hispanics are. Ignore what they say. Watch what they do.

Tentative Deal Struck in Writers Strike

The Film Actors Guild, however, is still on strike.

Although the studios have reached a general agreement with the " " " professional writers," " " they still have to write the contractual language, which could take days or a week (or more). And the deal could still collapse over details they thought they'd worked out but upon closer inspection, had not.

But it looks like it's over:

Variety reports that negotiators for the Writers Guild of America and Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers reached the finish line Sunday after five consecutive days of negotiations. Day 4 on Saturday mostly involved lawyers for the guild and AMPTP hashing out the fine print of language around complicated and groundbreaking additions to the WGA's Minimum Basic Agreement. The nitty-gritty details of language around the use of generative AI in content production was one of the last items that the sides worked on before closing the pact.
Ezoic

"We can say, with great pride, that this deal is exceptional -- with meaningful gains and protections for writers in every sector of the membership," the WGA's negotiating committee wrote in an email to sent to members at 7:10 p.m. PT.

I know all of you are huge fans of Steven Colbert, Jimmy Smeckle, Seth Meyers, and who-the-hell-else. Garrett especially (obviously). So I'm glad to report that they'll be back on the air within days! Lucky you!

Warner Bros.' and Paramount's stock jumped by around 1.5%. Disney's rose too... a mere 0.5%. As if Wall Street no longer has faith in the Rat.

Will the studios make a deal with the Film Actors Guild in turn? Maybe. And that's important, because Film Actors Guild Fran Drescher says that there's a hateful contingent in the world that is blocking wonderful Hollywood "creatives" from making six billion more gay movies and TV shows, and that's a bad thing.


GLAAD and Fran Drescher, the president of SAG-AFTRA, are voicing concerns that LGBTQ stories in film are at risk due to the actors' and writers' strikes.

"Right now, there's a very tiny but loud segment of our population that's hard at work spreading hate and fear while attempting to squash all storytelling that showcases the full, beautiful reality of the human experience," Drescher said as GLAAD (the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation), the world's largest LGBTQ media advocacy organization, issued its annual report highlighting the representation of LGBTQ+ characters in film. "Seeing diverse representation on screen is vital for empowering everyone to embrace their authentic selves."

Drescher continued, "Sadly, the longer the AMPTP companies keep the entertainment industry shut down by refusing to come back to the bargaining table, the more risk there is for disrupting the progress that's been made in terms of inclusive representation."

AG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher addresses picketers at New York City Hall on Tuesday as members of the actors SAG-AFTRA union continue to walk the picket line with screenwriters outside of major studios across the country on August 01, 2023 in New York City.

Each year, GLAAD's Studio Responsibility Index quantifies the representation of LGBTQ+ characters in film. The latest installment tracked films released in 2022 by 10 distributors. Of the 350 films included, 100 (or, 28.5 percent) featured an LGBTQ character. That's the highest number of films and percentage of total films that GLAAD has tracked in its 11 years of filing the report.

You're telling me.

Next thing you'll tell me is that they're making more TV commercials featuring gay couples and mixed-race couples than ever.

However, this year's report expanded its definition of "film" to include streaming services that do not offer theatrical movie releases, making it likely that we would see more films with LGBTQ characters than ever.

GLAAD considered the numbers as progress, but with caveats. More than half (57 percent) of LGBTQ characters had fewer than five minutes of screen time. Moreover, 40 percent of those characters were characters of color, a slight uptick from the 39 percent tracked last year. The report also noted that 21 percent of the inclusive films featured a bisexual character, 12 percent included a transgender character, and 4 percent included an LGBTQ character with a disability. There was just one character in the films who was living with HIV.

Along with Drescher, president and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis warned that a prolonged strike could reverse the progress made. "At a time when the LGBTQ community is under unprecedented cultural and political attacks, it is more important than ever to hold film studios accountable for how our community is represented on screen," Ellis said. "It is crucial that the AMPTP reach a fair deal with striking writers and performers -- that these talented creatives can return to work as soon as possible so that the progress made in LGBTQ representation remains on track."


Bob Iger met with major institutional investors behind closed doors. Reportedly, he reassured investors that he knew that Pixar, under his great leadership, is no longer able to produce successful movies based on original concepts and scripts, and so would now just be in the business of producing sequels to previous hits.

Super. He bought Pixar for $10 billion, and now it's just a sequel mill for straight-to-DVD sequels. Planes Vs. Cars. Up 2: Even Upper. Buzz Lightyear: Bigger and Gayer.

By the way: The Snow Biege movie starring annoying woke twat Rachel Zegler is expected to have a final cost of $300 million (!!!) so that's going to be another Iger Disaster.

I previously wrote that tax filings for The Marvels revealed that it cost $275 million. Valliant Renegade noted that those filings only show costs through the end of 2022, and we know there have been reshoots, and therefore also additional costly special effects shots, since then. Disney Marvel can't film three people sitting at a park bench without $60 million of CGI.

30 I do believe that the writer's union saw the deals that the networks have been making with pro sports leagues and college conferences and decided that that programming was going to be taking up more and more prime time slots in the upcoming years which means less scripted shows,

As they did the last strike, the unions overplayed their hands and will end up with a lot less jobs.

42 GLAAD considered the numbers as progress, but with caveats. More than half (57 percent) of LGBTQ characters had fewer than five minutes of screen time. Moreover, 40 percent of those characters were characters of color, a slight uptick from the 39 percent tracked last year...
There was just one character in the films who was living with HIV.

--

This is really interesting, btw. The hint is right there. People are utterly repulsed by it. The end. And no one likes the idea of having some gay dudes being main characters while reminding everyone that they're spreading HIV to their hookups.

But the part where they hide The Gay in the protected black character is very interesting. I doubt there are more black gays, but it allows a different shield against criticism.

Very clever.

And although Zegler gets the lion's share of scorn for being an obnoxious woke twat -- which is fully deserved -- we shouldn't forget it was that obnoxious woke twat Peter Dinklage who started the whole stupid michegas about how dwarf characters are racist or whatever.

This is a guy who made a fortune playing dwarf characters. I can only presume he was angling for a role, got turned down or offered less than he wanted, so he decided to sabotage the chances of other dwarves getting the roles.

90 "GLAAD considered the numbers as progress, but with caveats. More than half (57 percent) of LGBTQ characters had fewer than five minutes of screen time."

Would guess that any character with less than five minutes of screen time is either a somewhat non-essential character or one that serves a very specific purpose.

Either way, their sexuality is more than likely irrelevant to their character. GLADD should be happy that 57% of LGBTQ characters were made gay simply because the writers/producers felt pressured to include some "diversity."

Have you tried the anchors Moen sells for fastening grab bars to walls without tapping studs? They hold like 300 pounds each, and are really easy to install. You might be able to get away with less anchors and skip the spot with the undrillable item behind it.

Look for 'Moen A750 SecureMount Anchors'. Amazon has them, along with most of the big-box home improvement stores.

You need a 1 1/4" hole saw to install them, but those are fairly easy to find.

Try cutting a piece of the drywall out and looking behind it. You can then put that same piece of drywall back in place and use mud to cover the seams and repaint.
I assume your walls have drywall.

Yes. My new idea is that I'm going to patch the holes and just do a shallow drywall anchor. THese shelves aren't going to be holding books, just a DVD player each. They don't need the full drywall toggle anchor treatment I was trying to give them.

Slowly then all at once. It took decades of PR and propaganda by Hollywood to rehabilitate the industry's image and especially their "stars." Every once in a while, the veil would slip and the public would see what total scumbags these people were, but up until recently that would be quickly covered up.

I didn't like the movie Babylon, but it did a good job showing what perverted, degenerate scumbags most of these people were.

A male would've gotten a flag and a roughing passing/late hit penalty, but she Made History and then immediately left the field.

- wires are pipes can be anywhere. Maybe you hit a plate to protect. If you look at location of water heater, distribution panel, you can guess at high pipe/wire walls

- maybe air duct in A/C or forced air heating system? these often pick short walls like you describe, but they are also easy (too easy) to punch through. Light against trick might help.

244 Every wall is SUPPOSED to have 16" centers, meaning from every corner or door frame, the center of the next 2x4 wall stud should be 16" from the edge.

Not quite. Depends how it is framed. A door is where it is. That doesn't mean the counting starts again from the edge of the frame. Find one stud, usually next to an outlet, then start measuring from there.

300 Another quick n' dirty approach is to have Home Depot or suchlike cut you a piece of 1/2" plywood the height and width of the small wall minus the baseboard, screw it into the top plate of the wall at the ceiling (and you should be able to tag the studs at the closet door sides next to the trim, too), paint it to match, and just screw your shelf standards to that. It'll cover up all those drill holes in the wall, too.

309 "what's your thoughts on a short half inch wall-claw anchor?"

As long as it's installed properly it will hold that weight. But remember the weight tolerance changes with the length of whatever you are attaching it to (e.g. a shelf that measures 10 inches from attachment point). Depending on how it's mounted, that will change the weight tolerance by levering downward on the attachment point. However, 3-4 pounds should be fine provided the drywall is good quality.

And I heard that he did that because gere was wearing Stallone's leather jacket during the Lords of Flatbush shoot, and was eating a sausage sandwich, and Stallone told him to take it off because he was going to get mustard on the jacket, and Gere refused, and then mustard did drip down on to stallone's jacket.


and so he made up the gerbil story.

This sounds doubtful to me but it's something I heard.
Posted by: Disinformation Expert Ace at September 25, 2023 12:47 PM (KRtlO)
________

The story is half-true. Gere was supposed to be in the movie, but he and Stallone hated each other. So Gere was let go. The mustard story is true. As for the gerbil in the ass, it's long been thought that Gere is gayer than Dylan Mulvaney with a dildo in his ass, so who knows?

It's funny that when something becomes a hit, nobody wants to honor the legal contract they signed.

Someone took a big chance on Stallone, financing a film that let a nobody actor have his way, that he stars in the movie he wrote. Made him one of the biggest stars of all time. Supposedly the guy that underwrote it mortgaged his house to get funds. Had the movie flopped, would the producers have made Stallone pay for the losses? Of course not. He would have pointed to his contract.

Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius,


Person A was a public figure, and person B was a nut. Person B kills person As target without being asked, and essentially blackmails him into going after Person A's target. It was a great psycho-drama, and follows Hitchcock's proto-noir formula of a normal person having his life upended by stumbling on the wrong person. As innocent a thing as riding a train and he is sunk.

(Barton Keyes said that murder is like two people getting on a train and the only stop is the cemetery, or something. in Double Indemnity. Throw Mama seems to be partially inspired by that classic.)

Throw Mama was great because they turned the nutter - person B - into a comic and sympathetic character (DeVito) bullied by his mother (ala Psycho). A cinematic masterpiece.

408 We just lost TX to voter fraud. The court of criminal appeals, which is stocked with Soros backed "Republicans", ruled the 1951 TX law which allowed the AG of the state to prosecute voter fraud as unconstitutional. This means only the local Soros prosecutors in Houston etc. are allowed to prosecute voter fraud, and they won't prosecute. So TX is gone.

THE MORNING RANT: Buck Shots - 9/25/2023

Monkey - Rodeo.JPG

Since the left seeks to ban everything in life that makes living enjoyable, it was inevitable that they’d come for our pets too.

“The case against pets: is it time to give up our cats and dogs?” [Guardian – 9/13/2023]

A person described as an “environmental historian” is quoted as likening pet ownership to buying love, and that’s problematic of course.

We are asking animals to fill a very human need, says Vettese: “People are looking for unconditional love.” But that love “is predicated on this absolute domination of the pet’s life – what they eat, their sexuality, their love, their activity – and you can’t disentangle these two things”. If pets had more autonomy, he says, “they would not necessarily have this unconditional love”.

Naturally, according to these people, pet ownership is also helping to accelerate the climate apocalypse.

Then there is their carbon footprint. While we are increasingly aware of how our diets affect the planet, Winters argues that we view our pets separately.

But to answer the question posed in the Guardian headline, “Is it time to give up our cats and dogs?” I will never surrender my pets, of course, but for the zealots who won’t leave me alone about their climate religion, yes it is time. They should be forced to surrender their pets, just like they want me to surrender my gas-powered SUV. If they won’t euthanize Fluffy and Scruffy to save the planet from imminent doom, then I don’t need to hear another word from them about my carbon footprint.

*****

Speaking of killing cats to save the planet…

“Brazil’s Big Cats Under Threat from Wind Farms; Jaguars and pumas face extinction in Brazil’s northeast as the fast-growing wind power industry frightens them off their land” [WSJ – 7/12/2023]

Particularly sensitive to changes to their habitat, the jaguars and pumas abandon their lairs as soon as construction work on the wind farms begins, said Claudia Bueno de Campos, a biologist who helped found the group Friends of the Jaguars and has tracked the region’s vanishing feline population. They then roam vast distances across the dusty plains in search of new streams and rivers.

The weakest perish along the way. Others venture closer to villages, where locals have started laying traps to protect their small herds of goats and sheep, often their only form of survival in this impoverished region.

The wind energy hustlers are willing to entirely eradicate populations of whales, eagles, and big cats to produce exactly zero kw of incremental reliable energy. But the greater the number of these majestic creatures they kill, the more “green” money they rake in, and the more the eco-religionists will excuse these senseless killings as justifiable offerings to their angry climate God.

*****

The propaganda regarding the climate hoax is unrelenting. Jim Lakely at the Heartland Institute had some thoughts about this this color-coded temperature map from The Weather Channel on September 19.

Weather Channel - Lakely.JPG


The Weather Channel is absolutely ridiculous.

Chicago, for instance, was displayed as red to deep orange. Warm, right? I can tell you from personal experience: It was “freezing” on Tuesday, September 19 in Northern Illinois for a day that is still technically summer. It rained all day and barely got over 60 all afternoon. I regretted not wearing a jacket to the office.

Take a look at Oklahoma City. A high of 82 degrees in mid-September is delightful there for that time of year, but The Weather Channel shows it as deep-red extreme heat.

*****

It is confusing trying to keep up with which eco-sins of the left are prohibited, and when.

Burning coal, as we’ve been told repeatedly, is very bad. Well, apparently it’s not bad if it allows for the production of electric vehicle batteries. A new EV battery plant (Panasonic) in Kansas is going to require so much electricity that the local utility is going to extend the life of a coal-burning power plant in Lawrence to provide the needed energy.

“Panasonic plant will require so much power, Evergy will seek rate hike in Kansas” [The Kansas City Star -7/20/2023]

In addition to a possible rate increase, Evergy will also keep part of a coal-fired power plant near Lawrence operational longer than originally scheduled, at least partially because of Panasonic.

The Lawrence coal burning plant had been scheduled to shut down no later than early 2024.

Evergy is also citing the Panasonic plant, which will produce batteries for electric vehicles, in saying it will continue to burn coal at a Lawrence power plant until at least 2028.

The irony.

And guess what, consumer electric rates will also increase because of the EV battery plant.

Evergy plans to ask for a rate increase in Kansas next year to help pay for the additional infrastructure required to meet the Panasonic battery plant’s massive anticipated demand for electricity…

Of course, once those EV batteries are being used to power electric cars, the energy they store will also be generated by good old-fashioned carbon and nuclear power plants.

Nothing is being saved and nothing is being gained, except that wealth is being re-allocated from common folks to the hustlers pushing the anti-carbon/climate scam.

*****

Enough about the climate hoax for today, let’s take a look at business and economics…

It is not possible to mock the propaganda media sufficiently. Remember how the legacy media was promoting “funemployment” during the Obama administration?

They are trying the same approach now with the inflation that is wrecking households and driving up credit card debt. [Warning – the link below is to the Washington Post]

“Credit Card Debt at $1 Trillion Is a Sign of Consumer Strength” [Bloomberg / Washington Post - 8/31/2023]

Wall Street Silver - Bloomberg - Record Credit Card Debt is Good.JPG

Yep, if consumers are maxing out their credit cards and paying 20%+ interest rates, that is surely a sign of consumer strength.

The (former) top-selling beer in the United States seems to have permanently lost 30% of its sales after insulting its loyal customers and then making a cross-dressing man the face of its product.

“Bud Light sales still down 30% six months after Dylan Mulvaney disaster, drinkers ‘lost forever’”[NY Post – 9/09/2023]

This is a major conservative victory in the culture wars.

But did we violate any of our sacred principles by pushing back against the corporate left? Specifically, did we sully our own selves by engaging in ”cancel culture”?

No we didn’t. And don’t let anyone persuade you otherwise. Seth Dillon of The Babylon Bee succinctly explains: ”I didn’t see conservatives calling on stores and venues to stop carrying Bud Light. They just stopped buying it. They applied market pressure, but they didn’t cancel anything. It’s like the difference between changing the channel when a show you don’t like comes on and calling the advertisers/network to try and get the show taken off the air entirely.”

Seth Dillon - Bud Light isnt cancel culture.JPG


*****

Along those same lines, Target is in a world of hurt. As I wrote last month, the backlash that resulted from the retailer targeting children for its trans collection didn’t start until mid-May, which was halfway through Q2. (The quarter ran from April 1 to June 30.) During the actual “Pride Month” of June, the boycott gained intensity.

Target’s Q3 results (July through September) are likely going to be catastrophic, and the stock market has gotten wind of it. Having taken an initial hit when the boycott started, Target’s stock is in free fall again.

Its stock was at $169 per share in mid-April, before it plunged to about $130 per share in late-May when the backlash started. The stock hung around $130 to $135 for the next couple months, before starting a new free fall. It’s now trading at $113 per share, and pointed further south.

Target’s stock has lost 30% of its value in those four months. In dollar terms, the market capitalization (e.g. market value) of Target stock has declined by about $22 billion.

Target Stock trend graph.JPG

Well done, woke Target executives! You went woke and are going broke.

Target CEO Brian Cornell received $17.7 million in compensation in 2022. I wonder if Mr. Cornell’s bonuses for 2023 will be negatively impacted by his flushing away $22 billion of shareholder value (so far.)

I jest. Of course, it won’t affect Mr. Cornell’s compensation. An 8-figure bonus for leading Target through these turbulent times awaits him, dutifully rubber stamped by the Board of Directors.

*****

Speaking of CEO compensation, which I’ve been covering a lot recently due to the UAW strike…

George Will, of all people, had an excellent comment about the CEO compensation of auto manufacturers. He made the point that US auto companies have effectively (and willingly) become arms of the US government, therefore it is legitimate for the UAW to rail against the $20+ million compensation packages of CEOs who are effectively government employees.

[Double warning: The following link is to both the Washington Post and to George Will.]

“The UAW can strike, but it’s running out of gas” [Washington Post – 9/20/2023]

The UAW should propose that each CEO be paid $152,771, the highest base pay for GS-15 federal civil servants. This is what the CEOs should be considered, because their companies have become appendages of government, implementing its policies.

The executives of the auto companies are employing the “socialized risk / privatized gain” compensation strategy of too-big-to-fail financial institutions. The only difference is that auto company executives don’t even have to turn a profit to award themselves $20 million dollar compensation packages.

Throckmorton’s First Law of Live Music: “If there’s an upright bass in the band, it’s probably going to be good.”

It’s now officially autumn, and certain songs always seem to have more poignancy when the days are once again getting shorter, while reminiscence pulls ever stronger. This song is one of them.

Here’s the High Kings performing “The Parting Glass.”

h/t tip to “Shelby Foote Appreciator” (@NoJesuitTricks) who posted this video on Twitter with the line, “Out here feelin some typa way.” I get it. This song certainly captures a certain typa feelin’.

Ha. I was *just* getting ready to link this in case you wanted to use it for a future post.

"At full production, the Panasonic plant will have roughly 200 to 250 megawatts of demand, according to testimony from Ryan Mulvany, Evergy’s vice president of distribution. The load is equivalent to that of a small city.

In a way, these people identify some problems. But since their religion is environmentalism, they seek fulfillment in the wrong places. But its worth a discussion to see if we have elevated pet ownership too high. Allowing "therapy" pets everywhere. But not because it supposedly harms earth.

71 Assembly line jobs require no skills and no education. It’s really a minimum wage job. Hell McDonald’s workers actually interact with the public and need to be sober. UAW slobs are drunk on the job. But through union thuggery these jobs pay $200k a year. And the fuckers are still not happy.

I hope they all starve when GM goes out of businesses and/or move all production to Mexico.

73 Amusingly, on the pet issue, the left sees there is a problem but misdiagnoses it.

The pets are replacing CHILDREN. We are designed to raise children and pour love into them. People have been told that everything must be about what YOU want and pets do not require the sacrifices that raising children does. So women are choosing to become "Doggy Mommies" or cat ladies and men are "Doggy Daddies" and the like.

But sadly, these people are going to find they lost something they didn't even know they were giving up.

But the left doesn't understand that. They must tie the issue into the Armageddon of their own faith: CLIMATE CHANGE!

Not the emotional shallowness and self-centered nature of replacing children with pets, which is the actual issue.

(Note: Pets are not the problem. Treating pets like children is.)

90 Interesting sign - there are tons of craft breweries in Portland, and a bunch of them are going out of business all of a sudden.

Reading through Portland Reddit, many people note that they can no longer afford "$8 beers" and equivalently priced food.

Nobody has yet made the connection that the minimum wage in Portland is now $15.45, with no tip credit.

I suspected that this would happen - that bars and restaurants in Portland could (barely) afford the minimum wage during good economic times, but a hint of a downturn would make the bars and restaurants unaffordable for a lot of people.

Pretty much a good historical reading of the situation facing Cromwell. He found many of his erstwhile allies to be amenable to switching sides if the King or foreign countries would fork over some money. The Scots were untrustworthy, the Irish were rebelling, and so on. Cromwell's circle of true and steadfast fighters became smaller and smaller as a result.

Not quite. EBT is the EBT of the working class. Welfare has expanded bigly in the past decade or so. A family of 4 with an income of $60k now qualifies for all sorts of govt cheese.

Credit cards are a bonus on top of that. Because they know very well they don’t have to pay it back. The only consequence is a bad credit score. Big deal. All a bad credit score does is increase interest on future loans. But if you never intend to pay loans back, who cares what the interest rate is?

And Biden is now punishing good credit scores for mortgages. Like all other things in America 2.0, playing by the rules is for chumps.

105 "We're up against some truly stupid people."

And mostly intellectually corrupt.

I got into an argument with a liberal who stated Republicans in NY were corrupt and lying about abortion in the state. When I asked what the state policy was, they had no idea. So I explained;
1- They completely took abortion out of the criminal code and put it into the health code
2- The general policy is abortion for any reason up to 24 weeks. That's 6 months
3- After 24 weeks the language was changed to the health and well being of the mother. Which isn't defined anywhere and subject to broad I interpretation. Since it is in the "health code" there is also no penalty or ability to charge any person or doctor performing an abortion up until birth.

Those are what we call facts, which I pointed to on the NYDOH website for context

They said I was distorting what was in the actual text. So I asked where? Which made them very angry and irrational. 🤦‍♂️

"Haley Van Voorhis, a safety at Division-III Shenandoah University, became the first woman non-kicker to appear in an NCAA football game on Saturday against Juniata.

She came on in the first quarter with Shenandoah already up 26 points and registered a quarterback hurry on third down."

Here's the fun part, though. People started noticing that she got put in when the team was up by 26 points, no one blocked her (a blatantly open lane after team-mates pointed out where she should stand), and the play she made was a late hit on the QB (he'd already thrown the ball) and her contact should've pulled a flag and 15 yard penalty.

It didn't for some mysterious reason, though.

It's fairly easy to get bad credit taken off your score too. Everything is online now, so you can protest all bad reporting just by pushing a button.

144 The classic AOC demonstration of idiocy is that Amazon wanted too build a HQ in New York.

It was expected that Amazon would pay $20 billion in state and local taxes over the following twenty years, and Amazon negotiated a $2 billion tax break - so about a 10% tax reduction, so they would pay just $18 billion in taxes.

Reasonable people can disagree over whether the tax break was a good idea, but AOC and her buddies blocked the HQ, and then AOC went to Twitter to announce that New York now had an extra $2 billion to spend on subways and schools.

She sincerely thought that New York was going to cut a $2 billion check to Amazon.

Yes, but it worked, didn't it? She got what she wanted. I'm skeptical that Amazon truly was interested in building there, as opposed to where they really wanted to to be (DC). They sure abandoned the NYC plans quickly enough.

Which totally fucked me, as I'm an investor in a huge plot of land that would have been right next to their HQ. We were getting offers at like 50x at the time. I would have made millions. Of course, as soon as Amazon pulled out, the offers were all cancelled.

174 The left loved dogs...and vaccines. Could they somehow stretch their few brain cells to connect the two?

The inevitable rise of Rabies Babies (and kids and adults) in the U.S. This is not satire. Encouraged by hundreds of thousands of needless COVID deaths, anti-vaxxers are reviving measles, whooping cough, and polio to immiserate and kill even more Americans. Now we are reminded that true disbelievers spurn vaccines for pets, too.

USNews.com article “Anti-vax Trend May Harm Pet Dogs, With Half of Owners Against Immunization” says that 40% of dog owners think dog vaccines aren’t safe, 20% say they’re not effective, 30% think they’re not medically necessary. And 37% believe they could cause their dog to develop autism.


That's right...anti-vaxxers are going to cause a deadly rabies epidemic in the next few years.

How many Americans of all ages will suffer needless, horrible deaths, and how many more will they kill before they die — to protect dogs from autism? It sounds like satire, but it’s not funny and it’s not a joke. I predict a body count of hundreds of thousands within 5 years.

Puddinhead, the Puritans behind Cromwell were the ones that stayed and fought for their religion. Charles II was enthralled with the idea of divine right which was and is bullshit. To that end, Charles felt he had the right to force others to worship against their consciences, pay for his foreign wars, and kiss his ass everyday.

You push society far enough, you get someone like Cromwell. And if you read any histories of that period, you would realize that teh English got very lucky with a Cromwell instead of some of his other compatriots. The blackest stain on Cromwell was a couple of cities in Ireland where he permitted his armies to run amuck.

Cromwell was a damn sight less brutal than Sulla but only one of those men ended up leading their society to a better place after their death--e.g. the almost bloodless Glorious Revolution of 1688.

Sulla's proscription made it imperative for the elites to dare and win power games if only to keep their own skin before someone else did them in. That is what materialism gets you. Very unstable politics followed.

208 USNews.com article “Anti-vax Trend May Harm Pet Dogs, With Half of Owners Against Immunization” says that 40% of dog owners think dog vaccines aren’t safe, 20% say they’re not effective, 30% think they’re not medically necessary. And 37% believe they could cause their dog to develop autism.

That's right...anti-vaxxers are going to cause a deadly rabies epidemic in the next few years.

How many Americans of all ages will suffer needless, horrible deaths, and how many more will they kill before they die — to protect dogs from autism? It sounds like satire, but it’s not funny and it’s not a joke. I predict a body count of hundreds of thousands within 5 years.

The old unstated rule of siege war was that if the town surrendered before the walls were breached, they would be spared the sack.

If they resisted, it was war to end. In at least one case, the Irish forces surrendered the town but still got the full horrors of the sack and Cromwell uncharacteristically dithered. I think one of the other cases involved some historical dispute over whether everyone in the town actually surrendered or some such. Been awhile so memory fades and you make idiotic errors.

Pets are such a source of comfort to many older folks and those of all ages with physical and/or health challenges. Lose the animals but, behave well in the not too distant future, you'll be able to use the virtual reality headsets to see interesting & comforting things...until it's your day for a ticket to visit a zoo, petting farm, etc.? Nah, but it's probably their hope for change.

They also care not one iota about previously cherish wildlife and those communities affected by wind turbines, solar panels, etc. as they've been playing Noah's ark with breeding & sustainability programs that shall remain forever under their control. imho, of course.

71 Mashkov Ilya,
Oil on canvas
208 x 270 [approx. 2 yards x 3 yards]

State Russian Museum
This work belongs to the early period of the history of the Russian avant-garde. It was unveiled at the Jack of Diamonds exhibition organised by a group of young artists led by Mikhail Larionov in the winter of 1910/11. Ilya Mashkov was one of the rebel artists who hoped to “rejuvenate” art with the help of phenomena previously excluded from the realms of high art – naïve and motley signboards, trays, wooden and plasticine toys and the aesthetics of fairground shows. This unusual picture, with its enormous dimensions and hypertrophied forms united by a dark contour, depicts two naked strongmen playing music surrounded by weights, dumb-bells and books – the Bible and monographs on Giotto and Cézanne (the idols of the young artists). Mashkov’s portrait was perceived as a manifesto of a new movement in art, intending to make viewers pause, look and think.

113 Okay so ... strongmen with exercise equipment (kettle-bells) taking a break for tea and music?

I'm guessing this is an attempt to portray well-balanced men of culture, refinement, and strength (seen and portrayed through the eyes of the artist, Ilya Mashkov.) Note the date of creation, 1910. Nicholas II was still the Tsar (monarch) of Russia. Completely different world.

121 Hunter Biden's hotshot lawyer has been accused of involvement in a 'brazen coverup' and 'far-reaching conspiracy' to violate court orders, hide documents, and encourage a witness to lie under oath. Attorney Abbe Lowell is accused in court documents filed last Friday of secretly working for Middle East nation Qatar in a scheme to conceal communications about an alleged computer hacking plot. It is another example of Lowell getting embroiled in allegations of shady dealings with foreign nations – after emails published by DailyMail.com earlier this year showed the Justice Department scrutinized his links with suspected Chinese spies.

GOD is omniscient. Prior to creating human men HE was aware of the film "Batman and Robin" - which included batsuit nipples. To punish mankind for allowing that to be made, HE gave man nipples so that we would be confronted by this question for eternity.

The Morning Report — 9/25/23

hispanmenen.jpg

Good morning, kids. Today is Yom Kippur, the day of atonement and the most solemn on the Jewish calendar. Rather ironic considering the world of sin, corruption and depravity that is rapidly turning this nation into the roadshow production of Sodom & Gommorah. So, the knives are out for Bob Menendez who in his own quiet way has been a poster boy of the aforementioned iniquity now for virtually his entire career in elected office. Get this:

Bob Menendez Hires Hunter Biden’s Lawyer for Federal Corruption Case

At first glance, that headline reads like "comedy gold," unless Menendez knows something we don't, or more likely don't want to. That said, it certainly seems that his tenure at the public trough is kaput. There's no way he'll actually face any real prison time; he's a Democrat and has followed his marching orders like a good little soldier when it came to helping them accrue power at the expense of our Constitution and our freedom.

If in the unlikely event he is convicted in a trial, regardless of the stiff sentence called for in the Federal Penal Code, he'll have a nice, cushy room in Allenwood and after a sufficient period of time has elapsed and the spotlight has moved on to the subsequent meshugas, he'll be released for good behavior or some such pretext where he'll then go on to have a regular analyst's gig on XiNN, MSLSD or Fux. That is unless he knows where the bodies are buried, figuratively and with his colleagues, probably quite literally. In which case he'll be dining every night with Jeffrey Epstein and Vince Foster, among others.

Why Bob Menendez and why now? Scratch the surface of virtually every Democrat in office and sadly probably more than just a handful of Republicans, and you'll discover they're up to their necks in all manner of bribery, patronage, graft, election-rigging and maybe even worse. Menendez is not an outlier, as we all know from Biden, the Clintons and on and on down the line. They are the physical manifestation of what some brilliant analyst observed, "It's not that the system is corrupt. It's that corruption is the system." I suppose it always was. Before 2020, when our eyes were finally pried open and we could not look away, we deluded ourselves into thinking that vermin like Menendez et al were outliers and that more or less he and they would face an impartial criminal justice system. Before 2020.

In any case, the powers that be want Menendez gone. Following the dog-eared script in these instances, Menendez is indignant and outraged at the charges, claiming anti-hispanic racism, and as of this writing is planning on announcing his re-election bid a little later today. As to the racism charge, busty bonehead bucktooth Bolshie Alexandria "Titty Caca" Ocasio-Cortez isn't going for it.

Well, you know, I think it’s- the situation is quite unfortunate, but I do believe that it is in the best interest for Senator Menendez to resign in this moment. As you mentioned, consistency matters. It shouldn’t matter whether it’s a Republican or a Democrat. The details in this indictment are extremely serious. They involve the nature of, of not just his but all of our seats in Congress. And while you know, as a Latina, there are absolutely ways in which there is systemic bias. But I think what is here in this indictment is quite clear. And- and I believe is in the best interest to maintain the integrity of the seat. I want to emphasize that all people are- they must be extended the presumption of innocence until proven guilty. That is the legal reality in our country. But when it comes to the political and the standard of dignity that we want to maintain for the public in the United States Congress, I do believe it is in- in the best interests.

Pfft. Spare me the canned, pre-digested pablum and the complete bullshit about integrity and applying justice equally regardless of political party. Psaki-psircling back to the original question of why him and why now, the likely answer is that Menendez's crimes – which are real and fabulous unlike Trump's which are spurious if not even more fabulous in their spuriousness – and focusing all the attention on them takes the spotlight off off Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants and the Hunter spawn.

The Dems can play the kabuki-bukkake theater to the hilt by putting the nation and rule of law about party politics and calling for Menendez to step down. Naturally, being New Jersey, they'll appoint another Democrat, since if Menendez were in either a swing state or one with a Republican governor, they'd be circling the wagons and Titty Caca would be braying "Racism!" so loud, that the rattling of her donkey teeth would sound like a John Bonham paradiddle at full volume from a stage full of Marshal amps.

Titty Caca being one of the loudest and first to call for Menendez to fall on his short, blunt sword is no coincidence. About the only thing positive you could say about Bob Menendez is that over the years he has been a pretty staunch supporter of the state of Israel. His occupying a key position on the foreign relations committee means that he is one of the most influential drivers of foreign policy in the Legislature (the embedded ticks at Foggy Bottom notwithstanding). In that position, and given his pro-Israel history, Menendez is also a roadblock to the insane drive to prop up the Mullahs in Iran and allowing them to get nukes (thank you commenter Chuck Martel for that important reminder)

So, the opportunity for the ever-increasing numbers of Jew-haters in the Democrat ranks to do away with him and install someone who looks good in a Hugo Boss costume has to be considered. Hence, Titty Caca's call for Menendez to step down can be boiled down to the equivalent of Juden raus!

A number of ironic and interesting coincidences with this and the players involved, coming as it does on Yom Kippur:

That Israel survived the grim days of that October when the sirens sounded, the radios blared unit names and young men rushed from synagogues to cars and then tanks and planes on the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, had little to do with the nation’s government.

The leftists who had ruled the country without interruption until that war (and whose rule would falter a few years later and almost entirely disappear after its disastrous deal with the PLO) had failed badly. Golda Meir and Moshe Dayan, the subjects of enduring personality cults, had brought the country to the brink of destruction. It was not the political or military leaders who salvaged the situation, but young men fighting desperately and heroically in impossible battles . . .

. . . During the Yom Kippur War, Israel had received multiple warnings that an attack was imminent. King Hussein of Jordan had personally flown in to warn Golda that war was coming.

“If we strike first we won’t get help from anybody,” Golda Meir had argued.

Had Israel struck first, it might have been able to neutralize the enemy and not only save thousands of slain soldiers, but the millions that would have been killed had Israel lost.

But Israel would not act without the approval of the Nixon administration. Golda assured Secretary of State Henry Kissinger that they would not strike first, and Kissinger assured the Russians that the Israelis wouldn’t strike first, and the Russians assured the Egyptians and the Syrians, who were preparing to strike first, that they had nothing to worry about. . .

. . . the deepest failure was that Golda Meir allowed Secretary of State Henry Kissinger to cripple any possible Israeli response. The architect of a disastrous foreign policy that is responsible for many of America’s problems today had wanted Israel to lose a war.

Kissinger had told Egypt’s national security adviser in the spring of the year that, “if you want us to intervene with Israel, you’ll have to create a crisis. We only deal in crisis management. You’ll have to ‘spill some blood.’”

As Kissinger later told Ford, “we didn’t expect the October War”. “But wasn’t it helpful?” Ford suggested. “We couldn’t have done better if we had set the scenario,” Kissinger replied.

The State Department got what it wanted. Israel suffered severe military and morale losses, and was then prevented from benefiting from the fruits of victory when it turned the tables. Israel was cut down to size and went on the road to becoming a client state. Egypt was lured away from the Soviet camp in the first of a series of peace deals to ‘stabilize the region’. . .

. . . What has been happening in the last 50 years is a kind of slow-motion military and diplomatic Yom Kippur War in which Israel gradually retreats from territories, relying on defensive positions that can’t hold up and diplomatic agreements that are worthless in the long run.

Even the Abraham Accords, widely hailed and hyped, that brought together Israel and some of America’s smaller Arab oil allies to oppose Iran’s growing power, were once again based on abandoning domestic moves and initiatives to solidly lay claim to parts of the Jewish State.

Kissinger used to sneer that, “Israel has no foreign policy, only a domestic policy.” Now Israel has no domestic policy, only a foreign policy. It has sacrificed its interests to a failed regional and nation-building strategy hatched in Washington D.C. and premised on completely misguided assumptions about Arabs and Muslims, and how their societies work.

Thank you, Daniel Greenfield, for totally killing my buzz about wanting to see the new Golda bio-pic with Helen Mirren.

To my fellow Tribesmen, gmar hatimah tovah, and have an easy fast.

89 Lately I've been thinking about how much the ersatz Woke religion has adopted tenets of Islam. Just take God out of it, and they share a lot.

Islam literally means "submission" to an all-encompassing higher authority, but belief alone makes you morally superior to the infidel. It's inherently intolerant. Kill the unbelievers, or at least make them pay a hefty tax. taqiyya: you can lie to infidels to advance the cause.

Most religions profess peace. Not Islam.
Quran: chapter 9 verse 5:
"And when the forbidden months have passed, kill the idolaters wherever you find them and take them prisoners, and beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they repent and observe Prayer and pay the Zakat, then leave their way free. Surely, Allah is Most Forgiving, Merciful."

94 What sets Trump apart from all other politicians-- and Republicans especially-- is that he talks about what the base is talking about.

While the rest, those that hired the same old loser retreads, talk about what the media says the base wants to talk about.

That's why Trump won against the GOPe's best and brightest in 2016 and is crushing their pathetic offerings this time.

Which is really a shame, because we needed someone to push Trump to the right more.

101 I skimmed a story in Time over the weekend about a tech entrepreneur named Bryan Johnson who’s 46 and has the hubris to think he can manage his body and his life so well that he’ll never die… or live a really, really, really long time. He’s developing a life extension system he calls Blueprint. Kinda depressing to read….. the guy is IMHO a real nutcase. Talk about a denial of reality…. Death is part of life; and it seems he denies himself even small pleasures like a cookie in his singular pursuit of the immortality goal. Modern society gives people no religion and therefore no true meaning

A common trope in fantasy/science fiction is that immortality ain't what it's cracked up to be. Those who live for a really, really long time (centuries or millennia) often grow quite bored with life and desperately seek a way to end it. Or they manipulate the people around them just to provide them with some brief entertainment.

The most important thing is for everyone at all levels to understand that Party loyalty means impunity by the law. Seeing a tenured, ranking Party man in good standing marched off in cuffs would spook the troops, so it won't happen.

127 Today is Yom Kippur, the day of atonement and the most solemn on the Jewish calendar. Rather ironic considering the world of sin, corruption and depravity that is rapidly turning this nation into the roadshow production of Sodom & Gommorah.

There's a bit of a controversy brewing at our church. The Aesthetics Committee (which includes me) was told that we cannot hang our flag banners in the front of the sanctuary because three members of the church told the council that "the flag cannot be higher than God's Word." The problem with that statement is the banners have a flag motif background, the cross in the midground, and the foreground for one is a Bible verse while the other says in giant bold letters "PRAY." As I said to my fellow committee members, "If someone can make the argument that our nation doesn't need our prayers, I would love to hear it!"

6%, actually, because you're counting the males of that particular demographic. You could even shrink that percentage by only counting those under, say, age 40.

183 President Joe Biden and embattled son Hunter find themselves under scrutiny as their close ties to indicted Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., surface through a 2010 email obtained from Hunter’s infamous laptop.

This revelation has raised questions about the extent of Biden’s connections with Menendez and has added to the mounting controversies surrounding the president, who is facing allegations of bribery himself.

The emails reveal that Menendez’s chief of staff, Danny O’Brien, reached out to Hunter and his former business partner, Eric Schwerin, with a specific request: access to Biden.

186 Bari Weiss did an interesting interview on the Yom Kippur War recently - with a young man who was looking into Leonard Cohen's activities during the war.

None of the interview participants came off great; Leonard Cohen came off semi-good but in the end he bowed to Globalism and turned on Israel; it was interesting to me because the people I knew growing up who were from Israel did NOT like Golda Meir (putting it mildly) and after listening to the podcast I finally really understood why. The Greenfield article added even more to my understanding.

True. About 20 years ago, I was in temple in the afternoon and at about 3:00PM I got a horrible headache and went home. Momma, who was rather observant, said it was okay to break the fast at that point.

Here was a woman who although not ultra religious nevertheless respected and observed holidays and traditions. And yet she said, "I have a deep sense of Yiddishkeit and tradition and a love of my Judaism. But this fasting thing is barbaric."

257 Renewables account for roughly 70% of supply during midday peak with solar making up over 80% of renewable generation at its daily peak, according to CAISO data.

The grid operator's short-term forecasting team detailed the eclipse's impacts to the region in a recent technical bulletin that shows grid-scale renewables generation is expected to decline by 9.374 GW, while at the same time, gross load will increase by 2.374 GW.

Coal and gas burning plants like the renewables from the standpoint of they allow for longer controlled outages for cleaning and repair because they can make up for a single generator when taken offline. They openly admit they are NOT a long term replacement solution.

My brother was coming back from work late at night when he came upon a guy that had just hit a deer. The guy needed to get home, so my brother said he'd stay until the sheriff came. He hopped down into the ditch to start cutting up the carcass and a sheriff's deputy rolled up. My brother said it was a good thing he knew the deputy, because looking up from the ditch, covered in blood and holding a giant knife would've been "real awkward."

Psaki falsely claimed Vladimir Putin intervened in our election in the past before asking Hillary Clinton if she fears it could happen again in 2024.

“I don’t think despite all of the deniers there’s any doubt that he interfered in our election,” Hillary Clinton said.

Top Story

  • Yes, Meteorella, you shall go to the ball! (Tom's Hardware)

    Intel says that Meteor Lake will be coming to desktops. It will launch on laptops in December but then follow on with desktop versions next year.

    Only problem is it ends up sandwiched between Raptor Lake Refresh - 14th generation chips - later this year, and Arrow Lake - 15th generation - later next year.

    Three updates in the space of 12 months? Really, Intel?

    I suppose it's better than no updates at all.


Tech News

  • In which Donald Knuth plays Twenty Questions with ChatGPT and runs into the usual authoritative-but-entirely-wrong answers. (Stanford)

    For example, the answer to:
    6. Where and when will the sun be directly overhead in Japan on July 4?
    Is completely wrong, because the Sun is never directly overhead any town in Japan. As far as I can tell, no populated place in Japan is in the tropics; even Iriomote, made famous in Azumanga Daioh and at the southern extreme of the Ryuku Islands (which include Okinawa) is still somewhat north. You'd have to go to a two acre coral reef called Okinotorishima for that.
    11. Write a sonnet that is also a haiku.
    Is the kind of thing ChatGPT is good at, except of course that it is strictly speaking impossible because sonnets have fourteen lines and haiku have seventeen syllables.

    And it does actually produce a sort of sonnet-haiku, while noting that it is strictly neither, so all credit to OpenAI for that.
    10. How many chapters are in The Haj by Leon Uris?
    This is a simple factual question, the kind that ChatGPT is notoriously bad at, and indeed the answer is wrong in every respect.

    Knuth was also pleased to hear that he made "contributions to" TeX (which he created) but at least ChatGPT recognised him as the author of the classic The Art of Computer Programming.


  • I'm not saying it's aliens, but... A mind-boggling creature spotted in Japan has finally been identified. (Science)

    And it's not Kson in that red dress.

    In this case, the mystery sea creature that nobody could identify turned out to be a perfectly normal agglomeration of bimodal larvae of degenean trematodes, a fluke belonging to the superphylum lophotrochozoa.

    But flukes are normally parasitic, so what these guys were doing just wandering around in the ocean remains uncertain.


  • A new fully open source version of the Falcon LLM - Falcon 180B - is available. Can it run on your computer? No. (Substack)

    By default it requires 720GB of video memory, which is more than most cards offer. You can get that down to 360GB with some adjustment to the load process, which means you only need five $33,000 Nvidia AI accelerators to run it.

    You can get it to start by having all the parts that don't fit swapped to SSD, but there are limits to computational masochism.

    Also, no, you can't put a 4x128GB RAM kit in your computer. That would be registered memory, and it just won't work.

    Fortunately for those of us who don't have a spare $165,000 just sitting around there's also a Falcon 7B, and that will run nicely on a 16GB graphics card.


Disclaimer: Put not your trust in ChatGPT, in LLMs, for they are subtle and quick to bullshit.

Interesting question: If the continent of Australia is moving northward toward India at the rate of 8 cm per year, and you own property, don't you actually gain 8 cm of your northern neighbors land while losing 8 cm to your southern neighbor? Year after year after year?

On a long enough timeline you end up owning the beach on the southern tip of Australia.

I go back Friday to get the last set our and the Doc said it's looking good and will want me to try walking more without the boot this Friday. I told him that I do not have pain and it feels better than it has in years. He suggested some 5 dollar doctor word that means that it could actually be fusing correctly this time and maybe...MAYBE... he won't have to do the surgery to install the hardware that he had taken out (I hope he means new stuff if he does)

Besides that, the local TV stations are warning us in blaring terms about the possibility of salt water coming up from the Gulf into our drinking water.

52 Did Octopus Come From Outer Space? New Study Claims Meteor Impacts Brought These Eight-Armed Creatures to Earth
https://tinyurl.com/2uk3pnvc

In the 2018 study, titled "Cause of the Cambrian Explosion - Terrestrial or Cosmic?" published in the journal Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology, researchers raised the possibility of the octopus and squid coming from other planets.
Daily Star reported that Australian researchers led by molecular immunologist Edward J. Steele argued that volcanic eruptions or meteor impacts may have blown away these sea creatures out of their original planets and caused them to travel through space for billions of miles in a kind of suspended animation before reaching Earth.
The paper suggests that cryopreserved eggs of either squids or octopuses could have arrived in icy bolides several hundred million years ago, noting that these creatures appear to have some evidence of pre-existence. Scientists said some genetic data from octopuses and other cephalopods provide challenging examples of conventional evolutionary thinking.

84 When the studies’ results were pooled together, the researchers found that trigger warnings had no effect on subjects’ emotional responses to the material, did not make them likelier to avoid it, and had little to no effect on participants’ comprehension. They did, however, slightly increase subjects’ anxiety prior to being exposed to the material.

“Trigger warnings typically warn people about the distressing reactions they may have but do not explain how to reduce these reactions,” they added.

Maybe that is the purpose of trigger warnings in Govt Education to create anxiety and reactions to what should be know as facts.

92 “Auburn University is a public university, not a religious one. It is inappropriate and unconstitutional for university employees to use their university position to organize, promote or participate in a religious worship event,” FFRF Staff Attorney Chris Line writes to Auburn University President Christopher B. Roberts. “These ongoing and repeated constitutional violations at the university create a coercive environment that excludes those students who don’t subscribe to the Christian views being pushed onto players by their coaches.”

Not that I trust Vladimir Putin. But why can't he be interviewed by an American journalist?

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson has alleged in a recent interview that unnamed figures in Washington obstructed his attempts to interview Russian president Vladimir Putin.

“I tried to interview Vladimir Putin, and the US government stopped me,” Carlson claimed in an interview with Swiss publication Die Weltwoche published on Thursday. He also explained that he felt let down by the lack of support for his situation that he says he received from US news media.

A funny thing happened in the hen house. The politicians counted their chicks before their eggs hatched.

But the city’s new tax is facing lawsuits questioning its constitutionality, with the possibility that the city may have to pay those funds back after it spends them on eviction defense, income support for rent-burden seniors, rent debt assistance, and more.

Initially, proponents estimated the tax would raise about $900 million per year, but a March report from the City Administrative Office lowered that number to $672 million, The Los Angeles Times reported.

“But once the tax took effect, L.A.’s luxury market froze,” The Times reported. “Only two homes sold for more than $5 million in the month of April, and the market hasn’t quite recovered since.”

Luxury homeowners seeking to avoid the tax have either refused to sell their homes or hired tax specialists to find loopholes, The Times reported.

How long before the blue blood dictators take over again?

The dreaded rat lungworm—a parasite with a penchant for rats and slugs that occasionally finds itself rambling and writhing in human brains—has firmly established itself in the Southeast US and will likely continue its rapid invasion, a study published this week suggests.

The study involved small-scale surveillance of dead rats in the Atlanta zoo. Between 2019 and 2022, researchers continually turned up evidence of the worm. In all, the study identified seven out of 33 collected rats (21 percent) with evidence of a rat lungworm infection. The infected animals were spread throughout the study's time frame, all in different months, with one in 2019, three in 2021, and three in 2022, indicating sustained transmission.

23 Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelenskyy - who commands a battalion of neo-Nazis - honored an actual WWII Nazi with a standing ovation on Friday.

Trudeau now is claiming that he knew nothing about the guy, and the Speaker of the House of Commons is claiming that it is solely his fault for inviting the SS vet.

Which is weird, since the SS vet got a private meeting with Trudeau and Zelensky, and I don't think the Speaker of the House of Commons organizes meetings like that.

Odds are that this was organized by the odious Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, whose grandfather edited a Ukrainian-language Nazi newspaper in Eastern Europe during the war.

When the news about Freeland's grandfather came out in 2017, she of course said that it was "a Russian disinformation campaign".

49 “But once the tax took effect, L.A.’s luxury market froze,” The Times reported. “Only two homes sold for more than $5 million in the month of April, and the market hasn’t quite recovered since.”

The Portland city council passed a law a few years ago saying that any new apartment building over 20 units had to include "affordable housing".

It took a couple of years to take effect, triggering off an apartment construction boom in Portland.

Then the law took effect, and almost all new apartment buildings being constructed in Portland now are 19 units or less.

The guy in question was a Uke of course. People in Europe had a lot of hard choices to make in WWII, not sure I can criticize too much for choosing the NAZIs over the Soviets BUT...before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, honoring one of these guys would get you cancelled.

Note this unit was involved in all sorts of war crimes. There is no evidence this guy committed them but there most likely wouldn't be whether he participated or not.

How is rat lungworm treated?
There’s no specific treatment for a rat lungworm infection. It usually goes away on its own. Treatments a provider might suggest at home or give you in the hospital include:

Pain relievers.
Anti-nausea medications.
Intravenous (IV) fluids.
Sedatives.
Corticosteroids.
Prevention
Can you prevent rat lungworm?
The best ways to prevent or reduce your risk of rat lungworm include:

Thoroughly cooking snails, crabs and shrimp before eating.
Thoroughly washing or cooking vegetables and checking them for slugs and snails before eating.
Avoiding eating raw vegetables in areas where rat lungworm is common.
Outlook / Prognosis
What can I expect if I have a rat lungworm infection?
Most people with a rat lungworm infection, even those with meningitis, make a full recovery. You may have symptoms on and off for weeks or months as the parasites cause inflammation and die. If your symptoms are severe, you may need treatment in a hospital.

They should also wear shackles on each wrist to remind them they are the liveried servants. They should also be housed in a D boarding house and a R boarding house outside the capital. They can be carted in for each session and carted out at the end. They claim to be servants, let them look like servants.

Well yes. He's a fraud. Even before the stroke, he was , at best, average. A spoiled rich kid in over his head. Arrogant and ambitious, became mayor of a sad, depressed, steel town near Pittsburgh. Cosplayed blue collar man and ran for Senate. Won because the GOP in PA is garbage. He was never some great statesman. Just an ambitious leftist hack, now with a broken brain. In the Before Times, he'd still be living in his rich parents basement. Now, He's just a Dem vote in the Senate chambers. The only reason he's being propped up.

240 Well, work continues apace on the Hotrod Ford. Got the hybridized steering column installed today, and the shortened and reworked linkage rod installed to connect the column shift to the transmission. I can shift the full range from "Park" to "low" without any hangups.

While I was under the dash, I removed the radio, which was literally hung there on scraps of house wire. It is an actual era-appropriate Ford radio, made by Canadian Marconi Company, with a big "Ford" logo pressed into the steel box. Since the radio is six volt, and the car will become a twelve volt car, I won't be using it, but it will go on the curiosity shelf.

And I took the vacuum wiper motor out, and tore it apart, and gutted it. Now the shaft with the linkage arms turns freely. It will go back in the car to act as a pivot or bell crank for the wiper linkage, and I will add an electric motor somewhere with a link to reciprocate the linkage off that pivot. There is plenty of room under there!

245 171 Regarding the mastiff and the Great dane that were rescued. I believe that lazy, ignorant people gravitate toward extreme breeds of dogs. I had a friend who had adopted a Great Dane from a rescue group. When the dog was turned in it was malnourished. The original owner said that he didn't realize it would eat so much.
Posted by: nerdygirl at September 24, 2023 10:49 PM (0Htd1)

Good breeders of giant breeds discuss the requirements, both time and monetary, that these dogs require. They don't sell them to people who don't comprehend the responsibility. But there are too many lazy, crappy breeders out there who want to make a buck on "wow" dogs, resulting in poor/sick offspring, often with behavior problems. People can't handle that and dump them. It's absolutely sickening.

I keep thinking. "and why would having children make this drug wrong for you?" They wouldn't have even needed an extra word to get it right. Not for children or people with type1 diabetes.

Some radios used in VW's were 6/12 volts; could be used either way by removing a small plug and inserting it the other way.

If it were important to me to keep the old tube radio, I could rewire it for 12 volts pretty easily. But it's not the radio the car shipped with, just a "will-fit", from some other Ford. And the car is not going to be a restoration, just a "patina hot rod", so a modern radio is not an issue. Or no radio at all. I have an old 8-track player. Should put that in it.

You'll still get arrested for DUI. When you go to trial you most likely will have to take the stand to make the claim that you weren't drunk but just decided that getting drunk after the crash and before the police showed up was a good idea. The jury will not believe you. The judge will be upset that you wasted everyone's time and give you the max.

321 So let me get this straight - over the course of 36 months, 33 rats were collected at the Atlanta Zoo and tested for this parasite. One was found to be carrying it one year, the next year 3 were found to have it (an increase of 300%!!!! Aren't statistics fun?), and the following year 3 rats again were found to have it (sadly for the fearmongers, there was no increase that year).

How many rats can be expected to be in/around the Atlanta Zoo on any given day, much less any given month? And these researchers only used ONE RAT each month to test?!?!?!?

How much money was wasted on this pathetic excuse of a study?

And do they really expect me to set my hair on fire because of this?

Idiots.

329 If you want the fruit to fall
You have to give the tree a shake
If you shake the tree too hard
The bough is gonna break
And if I can't reach the top of the tree
Mary, you can blow me up there

When I was Mary's prayer...

Also, a zoo isn't exactly representative of a city alley. What are the odds that the parasitic nematodes are actually a result of food or materials imported by the zoo?

And, to paraphrase Dave Barry, "The Parasitic Nematodes" is an awesome band name.

346 I rarely bring personal stuff to the comments, but today sucked big time. One of my best friends (and I can count them all on one hand) died today. Stage 4 pancreatic/liver cancer. From diagnosis to death -- 5 weeks. We knew it was coming, but not so dang fast. Six months my ass.

Did I mention that cancer sucks the Big One?

And yet, the mind boggles, as to why Gold, Silver, Platinum, etc., are not rocketing to the $trao$phere.

But they've essentially flatlined for what, 18 mos, two years? In SPITE of massive inflation?

Dark Powers are at work in those financial spheres. Shit that ain't normal, doesn't even get mention on any of the financial news-es. But fake news as to "inflation" that fails to account for food and for fuel, does.

We're gonna ENVY the 1930's seller of apples on blighted street corners.
