Quote I “I pulled my .38 out of my right pocket and pointed it at the ground and told them if a weapon points at me again, I will shoot to eliminate the threat.” Joe Hall of Portland, OR
Quote II At this point in our history, it’s become increasingly clear that the group posing the greatest threat to innocent Americans is our political class that has allowed so many of our neighborhoods, schools, and economic centers to erode – so that cops are left to constantly pick up the broken pieces. Kevin Nicholson
Quote III “So we, including my family, are at a crossroads. We’re vaccinated and feeling safer about having a small wedding, but now we can’t stand or dance at our own wedding. It just seems a bit extreme to me.” Soon to be groom, Daniel Chazen
Quote IV “There is always going to be something that you can have grievances about in a society that’s as complex as ours,” Gordon Pennycock
Quote V “The scale at which CBP can leverage a contract like this one is staggering,” Mohammad Tajsar, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California
Quote VI “We’ve had practically a non-existent flu season this year merely because people were doing the kinds of public health things that were directed predominantly against COVID-19,” Anthony Fauci, Attention Whore

You want low to no bail for individuals who have been charged with felonies? Here is what you get.
Paschal was out of jail on bond after being charged in Galveston County with the ambush killing of his wife, Savannah Paschal, last October. He is also charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and felon in possession of a weapon. Additionally, he is charged in Harris County with aggravated assault on a peace officer. His bonds totaled $550,000. "We believe that system needs to be revamped," said Michael Kinchen, Savannah's father, as he stood next to his wife at the news conference. "All I can say is that this has been a nightmare for our family." The Kinchens are now raising the couple's two young children. Savannah, 30, was fatally shot in the couple's home in La Marque last year on Oct. 21 while their children were at school. Police said Paschal ran off, but Harris County Sheriff's Office deputies were able to track him down to a Walmart parking lot in north Harris County that night. A deputy shot Paschal because he would not drop his gun as they tried to arrest him, said investigators. In the weeks that followed, Paschal was hospitalized, recovered and made bond.
It's not easy becoming a doctor. Virtual schooling isn't cutting it.
Last year, my first in medical school at Columbia University, I used a bone saw to slice through the top half of a cadaver’s skull, revealing a gray brain lined with purple blood vessels. This was Clinical Gross Anatomy, the first-year course that has fascinated or devastated (or both) every medical student. You never forget the day you open the skull. Cutting into the brain, unlike the muscles of a forearm or the arteries running down a thigh, feels personal. As a cloud of aerosolized bone dust particles darkened overhead, reinforced by the thickening smell of singed bone, I wondered how much of my donor’s body I was inhaling. How much of that dust would be engulfed by the immune cells in my respiratory system? And how much of the dust would linger in my airways until my grave?
Just because it's legal doesn't make it right. The worrying rise of ‘rent-a-womb’ - Surrogacy is usually viewed as an act of kindness — but it can be dangerous
In April 2020, at the start of the COVID-19 crisis, New York governor Andrew Cuomo approved a much needed state budget. Buried in this 400-page document was a provision to legalize commercial surrogacy. Passed without the opportunity for legislative hearings or public debates, the law came into effect in February 2021. Critics claim that Cuomo is unleashing an exploitative multi-billion-dollar industry that preys on the vulnerabilities of women. While surrogates are usually from poorer backgrounds and, in many states, are more likely to be of color and in particular black, the implanted eggs are selected from mainly white women up to the age of 25, usually highly educated and screened for any hereditary illness. Payment for carrying a baby or babies to full term ranges between $30,000 and $60,000 across the US. And there are huge profits for Big Fertility.
Once a virtue signaler: Always a virtue signaler. Shut your piehole Michelle.
Former first lady Michelle Obama said on Friday’s broadcast of “CBS This Morning” that she worried as the mother of two Black daughters, Malia, 22, and Sasha, 19, “every time they get in a car by themselves.” When former Minneapolis Police officer Derek Chauvin was convicted of the murder of George Floyd, former President Barack and Michelle Obama said in a joint statement, “true justice is about much more than a single verdict in a single trial.”

"It's A Hustle": Dogecoin Demolished After Musk SNL Snafu Once upon a time Saturday Night Live was a celebration of acting talent, of impromptu creativity and most importantly, of humor, which is why it launched the careers of too many comedians to count. Alas, over the past few decades, SNL lost its way, and become preachy podium for virtue signaling poseurs, for status quo apologists and for countless people who revel in the "uniqueness" of their identity politics yet can't cobble together a simple joke if America's Universal Basic Income depended on it. It's also why over the past few decades the viewership of SNL collapsed and countless Americans forgot about the show. Well... many got a stark reminder last night when millions turned on SNL for first time in years (or ever) only to be immediately reminded why they never watched it anymore: yet another catastrophically boring, uninspired and trite attempt by a cast of talentless hacks to be funny yet failing miserably. And then there was Elon Musk. The world's 2nd richest man was the main reason why an entire generation of young Dogecoin "traders" turned on SNL for the first time in their lives.... only to see their favorite joke of a cryptocurrency (which it is by definition) demolished after weeks of breathless buildups for what Elon Musk had in store. Unfortunately, as with most things Musk, the action was all in the fervent anticipation of the main event... which turned out to be a fiasco.

Free govt. money is one of the main drivers. We're paying people not to work with printed money. People not working means less production, yet more money being thrown at what is being produced.
All the conditions are now in place for massive inflation. Stagflation, actually. Global inflationary depression (this would be a first, actually IIRC) is a possibility.

But the way the Feds now figure inflation and cost of living, they will say that the hose DID really increase in price... so someone instead of eating the increased cost of the hose, would just dig a canal instead... and that's cheap, so there is no inflation.

We're going to get '70s stagflation at a minimum. Worse stagflation more likely and nightmare scenarios are not out of the question.
But you're not going to see interest rates shoot the moon. The reason interest rates went sky high (Fed funds rate over 20% at times) was Paul Volcker at the Fed killing inflation. The history is interesting, but Volcker was the one who bit the bullet and did it.
To kill massive inflation, you've got basically crash the economy by tightening money and raising rates. That's what stops the inflationary expectations feedback loop.
The Fed cannot do that now. Such interest rates would detonate the federal govt, $29T in debt. The Fed would also destroy itself if it did that as well, because it would set off a chain reaction of crashing bond values that would play hell with its bloated balance sheet.
They have painted themselves in the corner. And they're going to destroy the US govt and economy.

If they calculated the CPI the pre-1980 way, inflation would be over 10% now. They adjusted it again around 1990, and it would be 6% according to the '80 - '90ish CPI formula. She Shadow govt. states web site for details.
It's crazy. House prices don't even count, and you wouldn't believe the crazy weighting they use. The housing component of the CPI is something called "owner's equivalent rent" which is some nonsense on how much it would cost to rent the house. That has remained low no matter how fast house prices inflate.
Only problem now, is rent is starting to inflate as well, and it will start ticking up the CPI.
To hide inflation officially, they will rejigger and adjust the weights and formula and keep the official inflation number low.

HOWEVER, if the villains do not instantly disappear into the sunset, and you are STILL threatened, AND you have clearly identified the "brains" and the "muscle" (if more than one person in the "threat). there are two options.
Either. Shoot the "muscle", and then the "brains", or,
Or. Have your gun taken away and either used on you or "magicked" away while you are being beaten to death.

I know two people that had a bad respiratory infection - in both cases their COVID results came back negative, but they were diagnosed with it. Neither lost sense of taste/smell.
Normal flu can confine you to bed for a week, hell it can kill you too. So, did they really have COVID? Or just a "seasonal flu"? I'm going to go with the later, so the "cases" numbers are just as much bullshit as the "dead" number.

That's part of it but just a small part.
Production was shut down during peak demand for chips in all kinds of products from cars to TVs.
They can't just ramp up production to meet the massive increase. It takes many months to bring a new production line online.
Manufacturers are only selling stuff online and they do nothing to stop bots which buy inventory as fast as it's posted (within a minute) online. Then they are resold at eBay for huge markup.

Note how the expectation of inflation causes inflation. That is, behavior in response to inflation causes inflation in a positive feedback loop.
Prices are going up! Better buy now. Buying throws money at things, bidding the price up. That feedback loop, once it kicks in, is very hard to break. Volcker did it around 1980. Again, the Fed couldn't do that now without destroying the system.

The chain reaction is both horrifying and interesting. Increased meat costs lead to less people buying beef and chicken and pork. Due to lower demand, inventory is liquidated and jobs are lost. This will happen in many industries, not just food.

This is the M1 money supply:

That is shit your pants stuff right there. Note I've posted graphs of M0, monetary base before, which are scary enough, but a lot of that printing did not get into M1 (it's a complicated mess, but basically, that money was getting shit off the bank's balance sheets, which just parked the cash in their reserve accounts. It did not go into M1).
M1 stands at $18T now. It stood at $4T in Jan. of 2020. The M1 supply has increased 4 -5x time in one year.

The local voting place was run very efficiently, but the ranked ballot system seems like it is rife for political shenanigans. Given that there was no real convention, I can understand the rational, but I am not a fan.
My primary complaint is that it was very hard to find actual factual information on the character, record, resume/cv, and accomplishments of any candidate, but there were myriads of attack ads (from all sorts of political groups) with minimal references to permit validation. I realize "true" information is dangerous to candidates, but this is something that is clearly needed, especially on the "conservative" side!

Nonsense. There is not the slightest degree of increased risk to anyone if the surrogate gets paid instead of doing it for free.
The phrase "womb-trafficking" tells you all you need to know about the creeps who are making noise about this.

Same here. I suppose there are some real cases but is was unheard of 30 years ago. If somebody thinks the have peanut allergies fine, don't eat peanuts but forcing whole schools to accommodate them is ridiculous. It like insisting nobody can have cats if because some people are allergic to them

Allergies of all kinds are on the increase, and no one is certain of the cause. One big one is the hygiene hypothesis, which goes roughly we've become so damned clean, using all sorts of antiseptics to create hyperclean environments to raise infants and young children, that this causes problems with young immune systems.
The immune system needs to be trained on what to respond to and what to let go, and it needs exposure to all sorts of things, like benign bacteria and such. Good bacteria.
And we've got a bunch of parents who keep their young kids hyperclean and don't let 'em go out and get dirty and roll around in the muck.

In one of Robert Heinlein's societies, a shopkeeper who killed an armed robber got a substantial reward from a fund put up by all the other local merchants. He was also expected to display the head on a spike outside his shop until it got too smelly, whereupon it was replaced with a plastic replica.
The robbers probably avoided the shops that had more than one head on display.

I did. Back in the early sixties my best friend's brother had a peanut allergy and we were watched very carefully when we made PBJ sandwiches to be sure we didn't get any peanut butter in the jam jar. In the eighties I had a co-worker whose husband had a peanut allergy. In a restaurant he asked the server if they used peanut oil, and was assured that they didn't. Turns out they did, and he had to be taken by ambulance to the hospital.
It has been known for some time, and it is deadly.

That reminds me, I meant to respond about shrinking amounts of product. This is called "shrinkflation", and is a common tactic to disguise price increases. Canned goods that have less, but same price. Toilet and paper towel rolls have less sheets, getting narrower -- even a bigger hole in the center.
That can only go so far, and then a reset is needed: New improved, 20% more! with a price increase. Then you start shrinking again.
The idiot CPI will miss much of this shrinkflation, too.

When inflation really gets going, getting toward the ol' hyperinflation level, annual or even monthly rates of increase just don't cut it. You get some huge number, and it depends on how you calculate it (compounded rate, fixed annual rate, continous exponential, etc, etc).
The monetary half-life, or the time it takes prices to double becomes a more useful measure.
The record is post-war Hungary, with a half-life of 15 hours. Zimbabwe is #2 with 24.7 hours. Weimar is only #4 with 3.7 days.

In some hyperinflationary periods, workers would get paid twice per day. Once before lunch, were they would run out and give their wives or whatever money to buy, and then paid again at quitting time.
In Weimar, German psychiatrists named a condition that translates to "cipher madness". Or Zero fever. Back then, all the accounting was done by hand and clerks had to deal with a shit ton of ever increasing trailing zeros on their ledger entries.
They got to snapping, running out of the room screaming, laughing manically and wildly scrawling zeros all over everything.

There used to be a prepper site by a guy who lived through the Argentine hyperinflation that was really better at describing what went on than the guy who wrote about being in Serbia during the breakup. Things got bad in Argentina, one section he talked about a robbery that turned into a murder at the end of the block and the cops didn't come to pick up the body for a day.

The Colonial pipeline goes right by me here. And old one is on our property. They stopped using it for pumping and ended up running fiber optic lines through it.
But one of the main ones is less than a mile the way the crow flies. One time in the late '70s, there was massive boom heard one night. Major break in the line in a spot about 2 miles away. There were lakes of diesel fuel on the pipeline tract.

The Senile Old Pervert admin has now declared a state of emergency over the Colonial pipeline shut down. They are now lifting limits on truck transport to allow emergency trucking or some such shit.
These limits are stuff like hours a driver can drive and stuff like that.

Lumber prices now shooting the Moon -- going parabolic as they say. Lumber futures have hit $1700 per 1000 bd-ft.
One way to visualize the impact is that a given amount of money will only buy about 1/5 the lumber it did a year ago, and 1/7 the amount in 2015.

This was fascinating. The other day we were talking about pumped storage hydro, which is about the only serious way to store grid electric energy.
Some outfit is testing out massive compressed air storage systems. You store by running compressors that will compress air into massive underground air caverns (very deep which hold pressure). To release, you run backwards and let the compressed air turn generators.
The efficiency of such systems is generally less than 50%, 40 - 50% being the typical range.
This outfit has figured out a way to get that efficiency to 60% or better, they claim. They store the heat of compression somehow, then reheat the air as it blows off to feed the turbines.
Second that use some water system to maintain constant air pressure in the reservoir.
Whether this will be viable, I don't know, but they're building some test facilities.

Yep. If were serious about energy, we'd be going to Thorium fuel cycle based molten salt reactors. Wonderful things these are compared to the traditional nuclear fuel cycles. Read up on the benefits (and drawbacks) of Thorium.
If the Republic is ever restored, this should be where our energy generation effort is concentrated.

I'm probably bugging out to the Carson City-Reno, Nevada area. I know a few folks there, weed's legal, and there's actually quite a bit of cultural things to do, including historical dancing (which the peeps there I know do). At this point, I'm only here for the weather (though that's getting worse every year) and the fact that I pay about $900/mo mortgage with about 80% equity. If I were renting, I'd be gone. I can still practice CA law with an internet connection so, why stay? It's just that IF the pendulum swings back, I'd like to have this place. It's an 1100 sf condo I paid $200,000 for. (Mind you, it wasn't just a fixer-upper, it was a hazardous waste site.)

Again look up Thorium nuclear reactors. You want a "green" source that can provide shit tons of energy for future economic growth and prosperity with zero carbon footprint? Thorium reactors can do it. If you read the history of how our elites rejected thorium research early on, you'll get quite pissed.
Just think of all the trillions pissed away on the wars since 9/11, bailouts and all that. A fraction of that could've started a thorium reactor project to make it a commercially viable system.
It would solve our energy needs for a 1000 years. I'm not exaggerating. Thorium is much more abundant than uranium (on land, in the oceans, not so much).
This has been known for decades, BTW.

I think the idea is that: today, we have many available distractions-- namely smartphones with all their functions-- while we wait.
Back in the 70s, none available. Car full of kids + extended wait + no distractions = huge headache for parents!
